Presented for your delectation, here are the five can’t-miss live sporting events to plan your weekend around: SATURDAY 1. India v England What is it? It’s the third Test of a five-match series on England’s first ‘full’ tour of India since 1984-85 and their fourth at Mohali, home of India’s most seamer-friendly surface, though photographs of the shaved ends of the strip suggest it will turn as well.  When is it?…

LSU played its final regular-season football game Thursday night. Houston and North Carolina played theirs at noon ET Friday. Texas had its finale at 3:30 ET.
