Ukraine’s Shakhtar to use ex-Russian-owned Chelsea as Champions League home

England wrapped up a comfortable victory but their red-ball men’s team will not be back in Leeds for a few years Harry Brook has sparkled in front of his own. The Yorkshireman ran the chase against Australia at Headingley three years ago and played a strong hand against India last year.
