Babe Ruth's former apartment is not just any home, it's a piece of sports history. The building, located in Manhattan, is known for strict rules when it comes to approving buyers. Many luxury co-op buildings in New York City have the right to reject potential owners without giving an official reason. This might have been the case with Livvy Dunne.

London E-Prix: Nick Cassidy wins both races in Jaguar farewell, Nyck De Vries secures double podium

Nick Cassidy (Formula E) Nick Cassidy has done the impossible. The Jaguar driver won the second race of the London E-Prix after claiming victory in Part 1 on Saturday. This marked his third consecutive win, following Round 15 on Saturday and Round 14 in Berlin. It was also his final race with Jaguar TCS Racing, as he has announced his departure from the team. With the season now concluded, Porsche has sealed the Teams' and Manufacturers' Championships, thanks to strong performances by Pascal Wehrlein and António Felix da Costa. London E-Prix Round 16 results Nick Cassidy started from the front row, alongside polesitter Dan Ticktum. The Cupra Kiro driver secured his first-ever pole in Formula E but ultimately finished 14th due to a penalty. Cassidy's back-to-back victory helped him move ahead of Pascal Wehrlein to claim second place in the Formula E Driver Standings. The race was particularly special for both Cassidy and Ticktum. Cassidy's grandmother witnessed his win on Saturday and joined in the post-race celebrations. Ticktum's maiden pole came on home soil, with friends and family watching as he claimed his first Formula E qualifying victory in Round 16. The podium saw just one change from Saturday, with Nyck de Vries once again finishing second behind Cassidy. He had also secured second place in Saturday's race. Envision Racing's Sébastien Buemi took third place on Sunday. Andretti's Jake Dennis finished fourth, while Jaguar TCS Racing's Mitch Evans came in fifth after receiving a five-second penalty. TAG Heuer Porsche's Antonio Felix da Costa secured sixth. DS Penske's Maximilian Günther finished seventh and was followed by Pascal Wehrlein in eighth.

Shubman Gill on handshake controversy - 'They deserved the centuries'

India batters Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar refuted to shake hands with England captain Ben Stokes. (Screengrab) It was a Test without any drama, but it ended on a sour note. At the beginning of the final hour, Ben Stokes offered to shake hands and call it a draw. The Indian batsmen, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, declined. It left Ben Stokes and the England players quite furious. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Having worked hard to earn a creditable draw, Jadeja and Washington — batting on 89 and 80 respectively — flatly refused Stokes' offer after he had approached the umpire, which irked the England skipper no end. With both approaching their hundreds after having saved the match, they exercised their rights to continue batting. Stokes had a few words to say, as Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett were also seen enquiring why India wanted to carry on. "Do you want to score a hundred against Harry Brook?" Stokes asked sarcastically, and all Jadeja said was, "I can't do anything." A smiling Jadeja maintained his grace and calmly brushed off the comments, as India, as per the rules, were well within their rights to continue batting. Poll Should Jadeja and Sundar have accepted Stokes' handshake offer for a draw? Yes, it was the fair sportsmanship move No, they played well and deserved to continue Maybe, it depends on the situation I have no opinion on this matter In what seemed like a mark of protest, Stokes introduced Harry Brook into the attack, and Jadeja hit him for a six to complete his third Test hundred. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Struggling With Belly Fat?

Both of them were in their 90s, and we believed they deserved to get to their centuries." England have drawn only two of their 40 Tests under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum. The first, against Australia on this ground two years ago, was due to almost two days of rain. This is a new experience for the team, which may partly explain why they were so grouchy towards the end. The fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy will start on July 31 at The Oval.

IND vs ENG: Ben Stokes offers handshake to draw 4th Test; but India say no - what really happened?

England's captain Ben Stokes (AP Photo/Richard Pelham) In a rare and slightly awkward moment on the final day of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, England captain Ben Stokes extended a handshake to signal a mutual agreement to draw the match on Sunday. But to his visible surprise, the Indian batters, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, declined. With India at 386/4 after 138 overs, and leading by 75 runs, the match was meandering toward an inevitable draw. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! England's bowlers were visibly fatigued. That's when Stokes, looking to wrap things up and perhaps save some energy for the final Test in just three days, walked up to the batters during a break and offered the traditional gesture to end the game. But Jadeja and Sundar had other ideas. Jadeja was on 89 not out, Sundar on 80 not out. Both were nearing personal milestones, centuries that would have added sparkle to an already gutsy Indian fightback. With India having battled from 0/2 on Day 4 to complete dominance, the two lower-order all-rounders saw no harm in batting on, especially with no real threat from the England bowling at that point. Poll Do you believe the Indian batters made the right call by continuing to bat? Absolutely, they were on the verge of centuries Not really, they could have ended it respectfully Yes, they were in control of the match No, it was unnecessary prolongation of the match Stokes, caught off guard, was seen shaking his head and walking back bemused as India declined the gentleman's draw. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo His reaction hinted at frustration, not anger, but perhaps disbelief, as the game dragged into what he felt was unnecessary territory. Drinks were called immediately after, but by then, the story had written itself. In a game known for its spirit and sportsmanship, India's decision to keep batting wasn't unsporting; it was assertive. Milestones mattered, and so did wearing England down ahead of the crucial fifth Test. In the end, the handshake would wait.
