The 34-year-old is the highest wicket-taker in the Test series so far with 10 scalps to his name. He has been able to get into the head of star batsman Steve Smith, who has only scored 10 runs from four innings in the series. Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja also made a half-century and provided crucial breakthroughs in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). His all-round efforts in the second Test have all but cemented his place in the visitors’ playing XI....

The 23-year-old was struck on the elbow by a short-ball from Pat Cummins during the 85th over of India’s first innings in the third Test in Sydney. Rishabh Pant was on his knees almost immediately and called the physio to check on him. After having pain-killers and a strapping, the southpaw was ready to resume his innings. However, Rishabh Pant clearly looked unsettled by the blow and soon departed for 36, chasing a wide ball from Josh Hazlewood....

England dominated the first day of play as they finished at 263-3, with skipper Joe Root being unbeaten on 128. After picking up two wickets in the first session, the Indian bowlers had to toil hard as Dom Sibley and Root stitched together a 200-run partnership. With England dominating proceedings on Day 1 of the first Test and the Chennai pitch looking placid, bored fans turned to Twitter for some excitement....

According to reports, Broad was unable to train with the rest of the England squad in the afternoon due to the calf issue. The England fast bowler will undergo a scan on Wednesday (August 11) to determine the extent of his injury. If Broad is unavailable for the second Test, Mark Wood could come into the playing XI as the third seamer with Jimmy Anderson and Ollie Robinson likely to share the new ball....

Both teams are now gearing up to play the crucial fourth Test of the 5-match series at the Oval, which commences on September 2. Team India has a very poor record while playing Test cricket at the Oval. So far, they have played 13 Tests at this venue and went on to win on only one occasion. They lost five games while seven contests ended in a draw. India have not won a Test at this venue over the last 50 years....

Latham’s resolute knock ended on the first ball of the 103rd over in New Zealand’s first innings. The well-set Kiwi opener skipped down the track and left-arm spinner Axar smartly dropped the ball short. Latham tried to adjust his shot, but only managed to get an inside edge. Wicketkeeper KS Bharat was sharp behind the stumps as he grabbed the ball and whipped off the bails. Latham attempted to return to the crease, but stood no chance courtesy Bharat’s quick glove work....

Having performed well against Australia and England away from home in recent years, Virat Kohli and co. were expected to conquer the “final frontier.” Unfortunately, Team India couldn’t capitalize on their opening fixture victory to achieve their elusive Test series win on South African soil. Despite losing the series, the Indian batters provided several moments of joy to their fans. On that note, let’s look at three memorable knocks produced by the Indian batters in the recently concluded Test series against South Africa....

Rahul is part of the Indian squad for the ongoing T20I series at home against South Africa. He scored a crucial half-century in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday, September 28, in the opening game of the three-match series. The 30-year-old featured in an unbeaten 93-run stand for the third wicket with Suryakumar Yadav (50* off 33) as Team India chased down 107 to go 1-0 up in the series. A day after the thumping eight-wicket win, Rahul took to his official Instagram account and posted a video showing him in a chilled-out avatar....

The Indian team allowed the Proteas to reach a massive score of 296/4 in their allotted 50 overs after having reduced them to 68/3 in the 18th over. Bhuvneshwar, who looked largely ineffective, conceded 64 runs in his 10 overs and failed to pick up a wicket. While reflecting on the Indian bowling effort in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra was particularly displeased with Bhuvneshwar’s performance....

Rishabh Pant’s side head into the third T20I against the Proteas 2-0 down in the five-match series. The Men In Blue’s inability to pick up wickets in the middle overs has hit them hard in the first two T20Is. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra reflected on the changes Team India could make for the third T20I. He said the following about either Malik or Arshdeep Singh’s possible inclusion:...

Arshdeep has done exceedingly well since making his T20 debut against England in Southampton, returning with figures of 2/18. The left-arm pacer also did well in the first T20I against West Indies, picking up two wickets. Arshdeep’s ability to hit the yorkers at will and cool and calm approach in the death overs earned him applause from all corners during the last edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL)....

The question needs to be asked - how did India get into a position where the only option was one of saving the Test? Yes, a relatively new-look bowling line up was unable to put much pressure on a seasoned English batting outfit, allowing them to pile up 396/9. Still, India’s openers were well poised in reply, cruising at 167 for no loss. From that point, an inexplicable collapse followed....

Incumbent Loeffler unveiled a new policy framework on Friday, in which she pledged to “modernize” health care and attacked the left for trying to “socialize medicine”, before reiterating this stance in a tweet on Sunday. But Warnock, who is seeking to flip the seat blue, soon responded by telling CNN that Loeffler’s policies could leave hundreds of thousands if not millions without health care. It comes after Republicans launched a series of aggressive attacks on the Democrat last week, releasing several adverts portraying him as an anti-law enforcement Marxist....

The formal question presented to the Court in Gonzalez is: “Under what circumstances does the defense created by section 230(c)(1) apply to recommendations of third-party content?” Put simply, what does the text of Section 230(c)(1) actually say and do? So, what does the statute say? Section 230 (c)(1) says that “[n]o provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider....

In a Mumsnet post shared this past Sunday, the woman, whose username is hittle, said that her sister-in-law and brother-in-law didn’t have a cooked meal for their guests, as they had expected. Instead, the hostess ordered takeout from Domino’s Pizza, and the original poster’s husband ended up paying half. Eating out or ordering takeout instead of cooking is quite common in the U.S. A 2019 survey of 1,000 people found that 56 percent of them dine at a restaurant, get takeout or have a meal delivered about two to three times a week....

Set to the song “Train Wreck” by English pop singer James Arthur, users are uploading an image of personalized results from the online service “15minutes4me,” which claims to give insights on levels of stress, depression and anxiety based on a free survey.

The police is a complete reversal from the onset of the pandemic when the three states saw its residents ordered to complete a 14-day self-isolation period when traveling to Florida and Texas, among other states. Louisiana, another state that saw a significant outbreak in March, was also included in some of those orders. The new rule from Governors Andrew Cuomo, Phil Murphy and Ned Lamont applies to any state where 10 percent of the population has tested positive for coronavirus over a seven-day period....

But despite its undisputed success, TikTok is also controversial in many parts of the world. Some countries have implemented a TikTok ban, while others have either attempted to block it or introduced temporary restrictions. So, where is TikTok banned? Here’s what you need to know. Where Is TikTok Currently Banned? In 2020, former US President Donald Trump attempted to introduce a TikTok ban in America but failed in his efforts....

The centre-back stood on Higuain’s leg in the second half of Juventus’ 2-1 victory in Turin, leaving the Argentina international requiring lengthy treatment. Glik went unpunished by referee Bjorn Kuipers but admitted afterwards that it was a “nasty” challenge and that he would have had few complaints had he been sent off. Higuain remains incensed over the incident and said the former Torino man has yet to apologise. “I have no words for that foul,” Higuian told Corriere dello Sport....
