Jadeja scripts history in England with record-breaking century; shares epic stand with Sundar to save Test
Manchester: Ravindra Jadeja continued to etch his name in Indian cricket folklore with a heroic unbeaten 107 at Old Trafford, Manchester, that not only helped India secure a hard-fought draw in the fourth Test but also saw him break several records along the way. Jadeja became the first Indian to score two Test centuries in England while batting at No.6 or lower, a rare feat that highlights his evolution as a reliable middle-order batter in overseas conditions. With this latest hundred, Jadeja now has 454 runs in the series, surpassing MS Dhoni's tally of 349 runs in the 2014 England tour, making it the most prolific series in England by an Asian batter batting at No.6 or below. Jadeja, during the second session of the fifth and final day of the fourth Test, joined the likes of England's Wilfred Rhodes and West Indies' Garry Sobers to become the third cricketer to score 1000 runs and pick 30 wickets in an away country. The left-hand batter completed his 1000 runs in away Tests in England. Earlier in the second innings, Jadeja snapped four wickets in 37.1 overs of bowling, where he conceded 143 runs at an economy of 3.8. He took the wickets of Zak Crawley, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and Brydon Carse in his spell. With these four wickets, the left-arm spinner completed 30 wickets in away Test matches in England. Another highlight of Day 5 was the unbreakable partnership between Jadeja and Washington Sundar. Walking into a pressure situation with India still trailing, the duo showed remarkable grit and composure to put together an unbeaten 203-run stand for the fifth wicket, now the highest fifth-wicket partnership by an Indian pair in England. Sundar, playing with maturity, brought up his maiden Test hundred and remained unbeaten on 101, matching Jadeja's calmness and stroke-play throughout the session. Their partnership also marked India's 10th century stand in this series, making it the second-most in a single Test series for India, just behind the 11 century stands recorded against West Indies at home in 1978/79.

Powys farmer posed 'significant risk' to public health
A MONTGOMERYSHIRE farmer's actions posed a 'significant risk' to public health and the integrity of the food chain, following multiple breaches of animal health and welfare legislation. Alastair Meikle, of Gardd Afon, Tafolwern, near Llanbrynmair, was ordered to pay almost £3,500 by Llandrindod Wells Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, July 15, in a case brought by Powys County Council's animal health team. The defendant pleaded guilty to six offences in total, which included: • Failing to TB test cattle between October 2023 and April 2025, in breach of a notice issued under the Tuberculosis (Wales) Order 2010 • Obstructing a lawful inspection by refusing access to council officers and Dyfed-Powys Police, under the Cattle Identification (Wales) Regulations 2007 • Failing to produce sheep and goat records as required by the Sheep and Goats (Records, Identification and Movement) (Wales) Order 2015 • Failing to produce a pig register under the Pigs (Records, Identification and Movement) (Wales) Order 2011 • Obstructing an inspector acting under the Animal By-Products (Enforcement) (Wales) Regulations 2014 • Failing to produce records relating to fallen stock, also under the Animal By-Products (Enforcement) (Wales) Regulations 2014 The court heard that Meikle had persistently failed to comply with legal requirements, including refusing access to his premises on multiple occasions and failing to register cattle with the British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS). Despite claiming that no cattle remained on site, subsequent investigations revealed otherwise, with some animals only registered after legal proceedings had commenced. The court also heard that TB testing, which should have been completed in 2023, was only carried out in April and June 2025 following enforcement action. Meikle had initially failed to attend an initial court hearing in June, resulting in a warrant being issued for his arrest. Meikle, who was present at court this week, was fined £288 for each of the four records offences, making a total of £1,152. He was fined £480 for each of the obstruction offences, £960 in total. He was also ordered to pay £500 costs and an £844 surcharge – making a total financial penalty of £3,456. Councillor Richard Church, cabinet member for legal and regulatory services, said: 'This case highlights the importance of compliance with animal health legislation. 'The defendant's actions not only endangered animal welfare but also posed a significant risk to public health and the integrity of the food chain. 'Our animal health team rightly took the offences seriously and acted, resulting in this successful prosecution. If we come across similar cases in the future, we will prosecute.'

Karnataka High Court expresses shock over Forest Department's criminal case against Assistant Commissioner, who had passed a quasi-judicial order against it's claim of forestland
The High Court of Karnataka has expressed shock over the action of the Forest Department in registering a criminal case against an Assistant Commissioner (AC) of the Revenue Department for passing a quasi-judicial order describing certain land as 'Government Gomal' against the claim made by the Forest Department that it was 'forestland'. 'What shocks the conscience of the court is the Forest Department registering a crime for the performance of the AC's quasi-judicial functions. As an Assistant Commissioner, looking into the records, he has passed an order, not bartering away the forestland to private entity, but observing it as a 'Sarkari Gomala' under the Revenue Department,' the court observed. Justice M. Nagaprasanna passed the order while allowing a petition filed by B.A. Jagadeesh, the then AC of Hassan sub-division, who is now working as Project Director, Hassan District Urban Development Cell. The complaint before the Hassan judicial magistrate was lodged by IFoS officer Saurabh Kumar, the then Deputy Conservator of Forests, Hassan territorial division, in 2024. AC's order The AC passed the order on January 5, 2022, declaring certain land, situated in Tyavalli village, Shanthigrama hobli, Hassan taluk, as 'Sarkari (government) gomal' land and was being used by many persons to access their private land. Stating that the land was 'government gomal' in the Records of Tenancy and Rights (RTC) for many years, but was classified as 'forest' in the recent RTCs, but the Forest Department had not produced documents based on which the RTC entries were changed. However, the Hassan Deputy Commissioner, on an appeal filed by the Forest Department, passed a quasi-judicial order asking the AC to consider the issue afresh giving sufficient opportunity of hearing to the Forest Department. Interestingly, the Forest Department, soon after the Deputy Commissioner remanded the issue back to the AC, registered the criminal complaint on January 27, 2024, against the petitioner, who was by then not holding the post of AC, Hassan sub-division. 'After having filed an appeal and securing an order of remand to consider the issue afresh, it did not lie with the Forest Department to register a crime against the petitioner for having performed his quasi-judicial functions, unless it is found the exercise of such function is laced with criminality and foundationed on mens rea,' the court observed while noticing that the petitioner had not given the land to any private persons but had termed as land belonging to the Revenue Department on noticing that they were used for cattle grazing for ages. Miscarriage of justice Allowing continuation of criminal proceedings against the petitioner in such circumstances would result in the miscarriage of justice and become an abuse of the process of the law, the court said while quashing the complaint. The criminal case against the petitioner was registered for alleged violation of the provisions of the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980.

Is Taylor Swift releasing a new album? Deleted ‘Seismic Rumblings' note sparks TS12 hype
Taylor Swift is up to something, or maybe it was just a glitch. On Tuesday, Swifties went into a frenzy when HITS Daily Double, a well-known music tracker website, hinted that the Cruel Summer singer might be dropping a brand-new album soon. But just as the buzz picked up, the line was edited within minutes. Swift, for her part, hasn't announced anything new. Her last album was The Tortured Poets Department, and her Reputation re-recording is still on hold. She recently said she needs more time to prepare after reclaiming her masters. So, is TS12 on the horizon? The original report on the site read, 'Seismic rumblings of a new Taylor set keep the Republic [Records] team as aggressive as ever.' That one line was enough to convince fans that Swift's 12th studio album is locked and loaded, with the Republic crew ready to hit the ground running. What's got everyone buzzing even more is Swift's usual pattern, she's dropped lead singles in August before a Q4 album launch more than once. 'TS12 we are ready,' one fan posted. Another wrote, 'THE WORLD ISN'T READY FOR HER.' A third said, 'Taylor Nation (Swift's biggest fan page) made some calls. The album is coming.' Also read: Taylor Swift drops 7 major updates on Reputation and music masters; paid jaw-dropping amount But within hours, that one promising sentence was edited out of the article. It was replaced with a far vaguer line: 'And there's always Taylor,' without any context. That tiny edit was enough to deflate the buzz and confuse fans. But the sudden change made many of them even more convinced that something was going on behind the scenes. Some speculated that Taylor's PR team or Republic Records may have reached out for damage control, especially since she's been known to keep her drops ultra-secretive. One fan even wrote, 'That must mean it's really coming and Tree told them to get rid of it!' referring to Taylor's longtime publicist, Tree Paine. Also read: Taylor Swift finally owns all her master recordings: the story, and why this is significant Back in May, Taylor Swift bought back the masters to her debut catalogue, something she's been fighting for for years. To mark the win, she posted a long, emotional note to fans. And in classic Taylor fashion, she didn't miss the chance to sneak in a clue: she spelled the word 'this' with exactly 12 i's. 'A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for the chance to get to tell you this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through,' she wrote. Swifties immediately clocked that as a breadcrumb, TS12 was in the works. She doubled down at the Grammys, rocking earrings with exactly 12 pearls. Then came the surprise performance at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, where she brought back her country twang singing Shake It Off, hinting at a possible return to her roots. Most of her tracks have been breakup-heavy, but fans are betting this one will be different, maybe even dedicated to NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce, after the two were spotted spending July 4th tucked away in Montana. For Swift, downtime usually means she's plotting something big. And in the end, all it took was one line in a music blog to spark a global guessing game.
