Chris Brunt is relishing being back in the Northern Ireland squad for the first time in 13 months having wondered if the opportunity would ever arise again. A serious knee injury ended Brunts season back in February and denied him a spot in Michael ONeills Euro 2016 squad when the 31-year-old utility man may have otherwise been considering a swansong in France.Instead his focus was on returning from the biggest injury of his career, an achievement he managed last month with West Brom after an eight-month rehabilitation period. Northern Irelands captain, Southampton midfielder Steven Davis, is happy to see West Broms Chris Brunt back in the international squad He is now back with the squad that, bar the retirement of Chris Baird, has been kept together post-France, although Brunt concedes he still has to tread carefully as he bids to combine club and international commitments as the Northern Irish prepare to face Azerbaijan on Friday night, live on Sky Sports.Its nice to be back playing generally; its been a long few months, he said.I was thrown in at the deep end at West Brom but I have felt it a bit this week after a few 45 minutes and two 90 minutes.

After a brief but heavy downpour, the game was delayed 4 hours, 34 minutes before it was called off at 1:16 a.m. Fewer than 1,000 fans remained. When the rain and the wind intensified in the middle of the fifth inning, home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt stopped play. The grounds crew couldnt get the manual tarp fully in place, leaving large portions of the infield exposed to rain for more than 10 minutes. The Giants lost for the seventh time in 10 games and fell 4 1/2 games behind Los Angeles in the NL West race. Rookie Javier Baez walked with one out against Ryan Vogelsong in the first inning before Rizzo homered over the right-field bleachers for his 29th shot of the season. Of his 23 homers since May 8, 13 gave the Cubs the lead and two others tied games. He also had a single. After the rain eased, it took nearly 1 1/2 hours for workers to remove water from the infield and spread dozens of bags of compound on the dirt area. Wendelstedt, Giants manager Bruce Bochy and Cubs skipper Rick Renteria tourred the infield, but after additional repairs followed by another lengthy delay with little or no activity, play was halted for the final time.dddddddddddd San Francisco had at least one hit in each inning but was 1 of 10 with runners on base. Angel Pagan and Joaquin Arias had a single and a double apiece. Wada (3-1) scattered six hits and walked none. Vogelsong (7-9) allowed three hits and two walks in four innings.
