Temperatures in Toronto could feel like 44 C on Thursday: Environment Canada
Social Sharing Temperatures in Toronto could feel like 44 C on Thursday, Environment Canada says, as the region braces for another wave of scorching heat this summer. The city and parts of the Greater Toronto Area are under a heat warning that is expected to continue Friday and may extend through the weekend for some areas. The hottest conditions are expected on Thursday, the federal weather agency said in a statement Thursday morning. Daytime high temperatures are expected to reach 35 C, with the humidex making it feel like up to 44 C. Nighttime lows are expected between 20 to 23 C, which Environment Canada said will provide little relief from the heat. On Friday, daytime high temperatures are expected near 30 C. The humidex may make it feel near 40 C. Nighttime lows are expected near 21 C. "While daytime high temperatures will not be as extreme on Friday and into the weekend, nighttime lows are expected to remain warm throughout," Environment Canada said. The heat warning is also in effect for Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Mississauga, Brampton, Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville. Check in on those at risk of heat illness Environment Canada is advising people to limit exposure to sun and heat by planning activities during the coolest parts of the day, as well as wearing a wide-brimmed hat and lightweight, light-coloured, loose fitting clothing. People are advised to watch for symptoms of heat stroke, which is a medical emergency, in themselves and others. Symptoms can include red and hot skin, dizziness, nausea, confusion and change in consciousness. WATCH | Some Torontonians struggled to stay cool during last month's heat wave: 'Unliveable conditions': Why it's impossible to stay cool for these Toronto residents 30 days ago As the GTA's heat wave rages on, some residents have been struggling to stay cool. CBC's Dale Manucdoc speaks to Torontonians living in buildings without air conditioning and those who have no choice but to work outside. "While you wait for medical attention, try to cool the person by moving them to a cool place, removing extra clothing, applying cold water or ice packs around the body," Environment Canada said in Tuesday's warning. The weather agency also advised people to drink water often, even before feeling thirsty, and close blinds and open windows if the outside is cooler than inside. "If your living space is hot, move to a cool public space such as a cooling centre, community centre, library or shaded park," the heat warning says. People are also advised to check in regularly on those at greater risk of heat illness, including the elderly and those living alone. Signs of heat exhaustion may include headache, nausea, dizziness, thirst, dark urine and intense fatigue. If you experience these symptoms, Environment Canada advises stopping your activity and drinking water.

"England Are Stronger With All-Round Package Liam Dawson": Michael Vaughan
Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes the inclusion of seasoned left-arm spinner Liam Dawson, who is an "all-round package", has added balance to the English Test team in the ongoing series against India. Drafted into the playing XI after an eight-year hiatus following Shoaib Bashir's injury, the 35-year-old wasted no time in making an impact. He dismissed the in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal with just his seventh delivery, having him caught at first slip on the opening day of the fourth Test against India on Wednesday. "He is the kind of cricketer as a captain you say 'give me control, a few runs and you field nicely'," Vaughan told the 'Test Match Special' podcast. "It is the all-round package and for this England side, and going forward to Australia, they are stronger with this style of cricketer in it." Dawson last featured in a Test match back in 2017 against South Africa and has since had a stop-start international career, having played three Tests, six ODIs, and 14 T20Is, taking a total of seven wickets in the longest format. Bashir has been England's first choice spinner since last year. He is the last person to come out to bat for England with a top Test score of 13. Dawson, on the other hand, boasts of 18 first-class hundreds. "On the pitches we are seeing in the UK and potentially Australia I want to see a batting line-up that is absolutely packed," Vaughan said. "The over-spin of Bashir is very dangerous but what you require in this England team on the pitches they are playing is control. "I don't think he (Dawson) is going to get six or seven-fors but he will get two or three. If the pitch breaks up he may get four or five-for."

Dawson an all-round package, England are stronger with this style of cricketer: Vaughan
Manchester, Jul 24 (PTI) Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes the inclusion of seasoned left-arm spinner Liam Dawson, who is an "all-round package", has added balance to the English Test team in the ongoing series against India.

‘Four days of 10 vs 11 isn't right,' ‘India should be allowed a sub': Vaughan calls for change in substitution rule after Rishabh Pant's injury
After Indian wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant met with another injury and was forced out of the ground, this time during the fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England at Old Trafford in Manchester, former England captain Michael Vaughan has voiced support for a slight adjustment in the substitution rule. 'I don't like the fact that we've got four days left in the game, four days of action in what has been an incredible series where we are going to have 10 versus 11,' Vaughan said to BBC Sports. 'I prefer that you'd have a sub. You know, once they brought in concussion subs, I was crying out, saying, 'Well, just have substitutions then in the first innings of a game.' That would be my stepping point. If it happens in the second innings, I feel that team might kind of break the rules or indulge in a bit of skullduggery. But if it's clear and obvious when someone breaks a hand or a foot or ruptures a calf it's so evident that someone is in real pain and can't carry on. I think it's very clear to me: you should be allowed a sub,' said Vaughan. A post shared by BBC Cricket (@bbccricket) On Wednesday, Pant had to be helped off the field. The incident happened in the 68th over when Pant tried to reverse sweep a Chris Woakes delivery and was hit flush on his ankle. The player immediately went down and the physios came on the field to check on him. His foot was swollen and the wicketkeeper-batter had to be taken off the field by a small vehicle as he couldn't even walk out on his own accord. Ravindra Jadeja replaced him for the time being in the middle. Pant was batting on 37 when he went off retired hurt. England veteran Alastair Cook seemed to disagree with Vaughan's ask for a rule change. 'What if it's just a bruise?' said Cook. 'I'm not sure I agree. I'm not even sure what I think at the moment. But say we've just seen Pant walk off — he looks in all kinds of pain. And then it turns out it's not broken. So there's nothing on the X-ray; it's just a bruise. Does he have to play on then?' questioned Cook. 'If he has broken his foot, then that's a different thing. But there will be cases where someone gets hit on the arm. 'I can't move my hand, I'm bruised.' But it's only a bruise. So do you get replaced because of discomfort and the fact that you can't hold the bat as well as you'd like even though it's just a bruise?' he added.

The Toronto Transit Commission has revealed a new name for its fare inspectors.
