Jermain Defoe has expressed his disappointment at being left out of Englands provisional Euro 2016 squad despite scoring the goals that steered Sunderland to Premier League safety. Defoe, who won the last of his 55 caps in 2013, had hoped his top-flight tally of 15 - bettered only by Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and four overseas players - was enough to earn Roy Hodgsons vote. Obviously Ive not been involved with England for quite a while and Ive always thought that getting into an England squad before a tournament is based on merit, the 33-year-old told Sky Sports News. I just feel like Ive done everything that I could do. Jermain Defoe As a forward if you score goals then youve got a chance of going.Towards the end of the season I started thinking about it but before I wasnt. I was so focused on trying to help Sunderland stay in the Premier League.Its only when you see things in the papers and people start talking about it - just mentioning my name about maybe getting into the squad - then I started thinking about it. Who will make cut? Roy Hodgsons England dilemma So obviously, when youre not in the squad, its a disappointment.Despite his omission, Defoe is proud of his achievements this season and has not given up on returning to the England fold at some point.Ive never retired and Ill never turn my back on England because I still believe I can score goals at that level, he said.

Phoenix burned a quick timeout after the Utah Jazz scored the games first nine points. It gave the Suns a chance to assess what went wrong and change course before Utah could snowball a small run into a much larger one. Phoenix turned it around with an aggressive offensive approach and put six players in double figures in a 112-101 victory over the Jazz on Friday night. "We just tried to push the ball," guard Goran Dragic said. "Tried to get to the middle of the paint and tried to find open guys. When we share the ball, were a really dangerous team." Markieff Morris came off the bench to score 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting to lead all scorers. Dragic had 19 points and nine assists, while reserve point guard Eric Bledsoe also chipped in 19. Miles Plumlee added 15 points and 10 rebounds. The Suns beat Utah for the second time this month and did it through near-perfect offensive execution for four quarters. Phoenix had no trouble getting into an offensive rhythm, shooting 41 of 75 (54.7 per cent) from the field. The Suns turned over the ball just eight times and generated 18 assists. They kept Utah at a comfortable distance for much of the game despite a strong offensive outing for the Jazz. Marvin Williams had 18 points and Alec Burks added 16 off the bench as Utah shot 48 per cent. The Jazz also had 39-30 edge on the glass. Utah outscored Phoenix 60-52 in the paint and had a 20-11 advantage in second chance points. But Phoenix shook off everything the Jazz did on the offensive end by matching them shot for shot from outside and inside. "Everybody is getting involved," Morris said. "Were getting a lot of 3-pointers. Were a great 3-point shooting team. Were doing a great job of getting the ball inside and doing the pick-and-roll really well. Thats basically it. Our guards have done a great job of finding players and getting them the ball." The Jazz made four straight baskets to open the game - culminating in a 3-pointer from Williams to make it 9-0. Phoenix regrouped after a quick timeout and the Suns quickly erased the Jazz lead behind hot shooting from Dragiic.dddddddddddd The Jazz clung to a slim lead until Dragic buried a 3-pointer to put Phoenix back in front at 44-42. It was the beginning of a 13-3 run that helped the Suns take control of the game before halftime. Morris capped the spurt with a 3-pointer, extending Phoenixs lead to 54-45 with 3:25 left before halftime. "They made shots," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "They got what they wanted. They had us spread out, they got drives and they got the ball where they wanted to in the initial part of the offence." Weak defence proved to be a huge obstacle for the Jazz through all four quarters. Phoenix shot 24-of-38 (63.2 per cent) from the field and 6-of-13 (46.2 per cent) from the perimeter in the first half alone. With the Suns getting into a good rhythm offensively, creating distance between them and the Jazz was not a difficult task. Phoenix shot 12-of-18 (66.7 per cent) from the floor in the third quarter to break the game open after halftime. The Suns attacked Utah from all over the floor and were able to immediately answer whatever the Jazz did on the offensive end. "We couldnt get stops and they did a great job of executing in the half-court and also in transition," Williams said. "They put a lot of pressure on us every time we got the ball and that was the difference." Utah drew as close as nine points when Williams hit a pair of free throws to make it 78-69 with 5:33 left in the quarter. Morris answered by running off Phoenixs next three baskets to spark a 10-0 run. Bledsoe capped off the spurt by turning a steal into an uncontested layup - giving the Suns an 88-69 lead with 2:46 remaining in the third quarter. Utah and Phoenix play again on Saturday night.
