Scotland and England share a point as rain abandons T20 World Cup match between them.

India defeated Thailand 4-1 in their opening tie and have now notched up a second consecutive win to qualify for the quarterfinals.

Former England pacer Stuart Broad has backed talismanic all-rounder Ben Stokes' decision to opt out of this year's T20 World Cup due to fitness reasons.

In a setback for Prince Harry, the younger son of King Charles III, a High Court judge in London ruled against his legal challenge concerning the level of his security protection in the UK. The court determined that the decision to reduce police protection for the prince while he is in his home country was not "unlawful or irrational."

The United States government is prioritizing collaboration with allies like India to counter the proliferation of disinformation originating from nations such as Russia and China.

Due to issues with his knee, Stokes has been playing only as a batter since the second Ashes Test last June. However, he was seen bowling extensively at the nets on the eve of the fourth Test.

"Our approach is in line with guidance from the Royal Household to minimise the environmental and financial impact of this change. This means the public will begin to see the new King Charles III notes very gradually," Bank of England said.

Former Australia captain Ian Chappell has urged out-of-form England batter Joe Root to shun the 'Bazball' approach and get back to playing his natural game.

Ahead of the Rajkot Test, Stokes had said he “pinky promised” his physiotherapist he won’t be bowling in the ongoing series.

Sarfaraz Khan's dominating performance against England's spinners in just his debut Test was no fluke. It was the culmination of over 15 years of hard work that involved playing 500 deliveries everyday under the watchful eyes of his zealous father Naushad Khan.

Jaiswal's (104 retired hurt off 133 balls) second ton of the series was beautifully complemented by Shubman Gill (65 batting, 120 balls), who curbed his natural aggression as India ended the day at 196 for 2 in 51 available overs.
