SAO PAULO, Brazil -- With a subway strike put on hold, traffic in Brazils biggest city returned to its normal, congested nature Tuesday, but there was no guarantee service would be on for Thursdays opening of the World Cup. Subway workers in Rio de Janeiro, meanwhile, were holding an assembly to vote on whether they would strike to demand higher wages, threatening to disrupt transportation. By late Tuesday night there was no announcement of their decision. Both situations are deeply worrying for World Cup organizers. Theyre counting on the subway systems to carry tens of thousands of fans to the games. The problem is a bigger worry for Sao Paulo, where the Itaquerao stadium is far from the hotel areas where most Cup tourists will stay. Union workers in Sao Paulo suspended their strike for two days, but planned to vote again Wednesday to decide whether to renew it. If they do, the subway system would grind to a halt on Thursday just as Brazils national soccer team faces Croatia in the Cups opening match. Sao Paulos Metropolitan Transportation agency said it has a "Plan B" -- yet refused to say exactly what that would entail. "We will only give details if and when the workers go on strike again," an agency official said, insisting he couldnt give his name because he wasnt allowed to speak to the press about the issue. A Sao Paulo labour court has fined the union $175,000 for the first four days of the strike and said it would add $220,000 for each additional day the work stoppage continued. The subway strike was the latest unrest to hit Brazil in the run-up to the World Cup. Teachers remain on strike in Rio and routinely block streets with rallies. Police in several cities have gone on strike, but are back at work now. There also has been a steady drumbeat of anti-government protests across Brazil blasting spending on the World Cup and demanding improvements in public services. The protests that began last year have diminished in size but not in frequency, and they also have disrupted traffic at times. Vapormax 97 Nere . He insists hes not counting.

On July 27 cyclings best-known race will host "La Course by Le Tour de France" -- a one-day womens competition staged hours before Tour riders race on the same circuit to finish the three-week event on Paris Champs-Elysees.England set Sri Lanka 362 to win on day four of the third Investec Test at Lords - while the tourists and Alex Hales suffered misfortune during the afternoon. After rain prevented any play in the morning session, night-watchman Steve Finn (7) was trapped lbw when the cricket commenced at 2.40pm and Hales (94) missed out on a maiden Test ton after departing in the same fashion shortly before tea.But an extremely tight no-ball call, a shrewd England review, and Angelo Mathews decision not to go upstairs denied the visitors further scalps prior to the interval.Hales - shortly after notching his fourth Test fifty - was bowled off a no-ball by Nuwan Pradeep, though replays showed the Sri Lanka seamer had got part of his foot behind the line. Alex Hales was dismissed for 94 at Lords Then, Alastair Cook (49no) - batting in the unfamiliar position of No 7 after bruising his knee while fielding at silly mid-off on day three - successfully overturned an lbw decision, with Rangana Heraths delivery proved to have hit the England captain just outside the line of off-stump.Cook was cclattered on the leg by Herath in his next over, too, but visiting skipper Mathews opted not to get the third umpire involved, despite Hawk-Eye insisting the stumps would have been hit.ddddddddddddThose lucky breaks saw England push on towards tea, though they suffered frustration just before it as Hales failed to convert a fifty into three figures for the third time in the series.After two brief rain delays immediately following tea, England upped the tempo again through Cook and Moeen Ali - the latter hauled out for nine before the skipper called an end to the innings, shortly after he had launched a six over midwicket, with the hosts on 233-7. That left Sri Lanka with 12 overs to negotiate before stumps and despite the best efforts of the England bowlers, openers Dimuth Karunaratne (19no) and Kaushal Silva (12no) survived and took the tourists to 32 without loss, still 330 away from the victory target.Watch the pick of the day four action in the video above and then catch coverage of the final day of the third Investec Test, live on Sky Sports 2, from 10.30am on Monday.
