Dua Lipa celebrates sold-out Aviva Stadium gig by ‘splitting the G' with fellow stars at Dublin pub
The Houdini singer, who performed her biggest ever Irish show at the Aviva Stadium on Friday night, said there was 'only one way to celebrate' after selling out five stadiums in a row on her latest tour. Lipa (29) let her hair down in a local pub with her well-known fiancé Callum Turner (35) and her team, including former Disney Channel star Dove Cameron (29), who supported her on stage. Earlier this month, the three-time Grammy winner confirmed her engagement to actor Turner, who starred in Apple TV series Masters of the Air and the film franchise Fantastic Beasts. Cameron's boyfriend Damiano David, the lead singer of Eurovision-winning band Måneskin, was also pictured enjoying the post-show celebrations. Sharing photos and videos of her night-out with her almost 90 million followers on Instagram, Lipa wrote: '5 SOLD OUT STADIUMS IN A ROW!!!! ONLY ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE!!!! BY SPLITTING THE G!!!!!!' The star shared videos of her successful attempt at the viral trend, which involves 'splitting the G' of the Guinness logo on the first sip of a pint, while popular local pizza spot Bambino supplied the food. It is not the first time a global star has endorsed the business, with American rapper Lil Yachty wearing a Bambino t-shirt on stage at the 3Arena last month. The crew also danced to trad music and the Don McClean classic 'American Pie' as Lipa posed for photos. Her acclaimed Irish show marked the final stop on the European leg of her Radical Optimism tour, with Lipa performing her chart-topping hits like One Kiss, Levitating, Don't Start Now and New Rules. 'Dublin, you blow me away every time but last night was extra special!' she said, sharing photos from her gig on Instagram. "Thank you for the warmest of welcomes in your beautiful city! We just played to a sold out Avivaaaaa Stadium!' Her set also included a tribute to the late Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor, with Lipa performing a cover of O'Connor's iconic rendition of the Prince song Nothing Compares 2 U. It came just days after American popstar Olivia Rodrigo paid tribute to another Irish act. The Driver's Licence singer played a cover of Fontaines DC hit I Love You during a sold-out gig at Dublin's Marley Park on Tuesday.

India vs England: A Duckett-list century for the ages
CHENNAI: "A man with new ideas," Marcelo Bielsa once said, "is a mad man, until his ideas triumph." Shubman Gill and India's management may have seen that quote plastered on a prominent Leeds wall on their way to Headingley. Bielsa, the Uruguayan coach, lifted Leeds, a famous old club, and gave them a thriving modern identity a few years ago. Thirty minutes north of Elland Road lies Headingley, a similarly atmospheric ground, home to some of the greatest English triumphs, none greater than Ben Stokes' fourth innings Houdini against Australia in 2019. Almost six years later, they have another moment to rival that Ashes win. On a stop-start, sun feeling a bit shy kind of day, the hosts managed to hold their nerve over India to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. The hosts' usual suspect — Joe Root — took them home but it was Ben Duckett who orchestrated this run chase. Before dissecting the southpaw's century, his contribution will be vindication to the 30-year-old. At Nottinghamshire's media day just before the start of the English cricketing summer, he was asked about Jasprit Bumrah. The opener, who had faced the pace ace in India last year, was mindful of his threat but maintained that Bumrah wouldn't surprise him. That was taken out of context. Soon enough, he was forced to delete his X account because people hadn't taken kindly to his thoughts. Forget Bumrah, none of the Indian bowlers on show surprised him. He did have a sizable dollop of luck — you need that when you are getting over 130 on the final day of a Test — in the form of close calls and several plays and misses. But like all of the aggressive (and successful) modern openers, his methodology is dependent on compartmentalising. "Did I get beaten off the very previous ball?" Doesn't matter. "Did I misjudge the line?" No problems. "Did I get lucky?" Time to forget about it. Unlike all of the other aggressive modern openers, he has a very compulsive need to play at everything. He has left somewhere between 1-2% of all deliveries he has faced as an opener (for context, Virender Sehwag used to leave over 10%). Late on Monday, he left one delivery. On Tuesday, he didn't leave. When he finally left, he had 149 from 170 (21x4, 1x6). From start to finish, he batted like someone who believed he was going to win this Test for his side. It included a phase in the first session where both Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were constantly testing the outside edge of Duckett in overcast conditions. So, one of Bazball's primary operators decided to play the situation. Off Bumrah, he scored 5 off (one boundary, one single, 19 dots and two maidens) 21. The pacer beat him on a number of occasions but he didn't let it get to his head. You could also say that Bumrah didn't surprise him. It was just two athletes giving it their all.
