India women pull off a historic T20I series triumph over England
London [UK], July 10 (ANI): Indian women's cricket team pulled off a team effort to seal a historic series triumph over England by winning the fourth T20 by six wickets at Old Trafford in Manchester on Wednesday. The result gave India an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series, with the final game to be played at Edgbaston on Saturday, according to India came into the series having lost all six of their multi-game away bilateral series against England. Opting to bat after winning the toss, England began steadily through openers Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Sophia Dunkley. However, the early momentum was broken when Shree Charani removed Wyatt-Hodge in the third over to make it 21/1. Just as England was at 38/2 at the end of the powerplay, Dunkley appeared fluent but was fooled by Deepti Sharma for 22 off of 19. Then, at the midway point of the innings, Captain Tammy Beaumont and Alice Capsey brought the score to 68/2 with a 35-run partnership. However, from then on, India's bowlers stifled the scoring. With Radha Yadav leading the way, England could only manage 42 runs and lost five wickets in the subsequent nine overs.

Despite a 16-run flourish in the final over by Issy Wong and Sophie Ecclestone, England were restricted to 126/7 in their 20 overs. In reply, India's openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana came out firing. The duo brought up the team's fifty in just 4.4 overs, making the most of the fielding restrictions. The two put on a 56-run partnership before Shafali Verma departed in the seventh over. Smriti Mandhana returned to the pavilion two overs later. Jemimah Rodrigues and captain Harmanpreet Kaur then put on a 48-run stand to bring India within touching distance. Kaur lost her wicket with 10 needed off 25 balls. Rodrigues, however, remained unbeaten to guide India home to victory with three overs to spare India had started the series with a record-breaking 97-run win in the opener at Trent Bridge - their biggest T20I victory over England. They followed it up with a 24-run win in Bristol before narrowly losing the third T20I by five runs.

Revitalising Hong Kong's Olympian City plaza
The Olympian City plaza plays host to Christmas markets, and maybe the odd commercial event, but for the most part, it remains empty, a vast expanse of sun-beaten brick next to a noisy road, punctuated by palm trees offering little shade. 'There's a lot of space but nobody actually stays here,' says architect Su Chang. 'So how do you form a sense of place? It's quite challenging.' In 2023, Su and his studio, Su Chang Design Research Office, had the opportunity to improve the space when community art and design initiative RE: Tai Kok Tsui organised a competition to create a pavilion for community events in the plaza. 'There are very few design competitions for architecture in Hong Kong, so it was a rare opportunity,' says Su. They submitted their proposal at the end of that year and learned they had won in March 2024. The pavilion was officially inaugurated this January. The pavilion, designed by Su Chang Design Research Office, is made of galvanised steel and bamboo, the latter referencing the many old workshops still operating around Tai Kok Tsui, Hong Kong. Photo: Eugene Chan Sponsored by the Urban Renewal Fund (URF) and organised by the Hong Kong Arts Centre (HKAC), RE: Tai Kok Tsui is a 30-month project (ending in September) that engages with residents in Tai Kok Tsui to create murals, art installations, dance performances, theatre pieces and more, all with a focus on exploring the culture and history of the fast-changing neighbourhood just west of Mong Kok . The project's HK$33 million budget is provided by the URF, the not-for-profit arm of the Urban Renewal Authority, which has facilitated the redevelopment of many blocks in Tai Kok Tsui in the past 15 years. 'After redevelopment so many things disappear,' says Timothy Ma Kam-wah, chairman of the URF's board of directors. 'But the neighbourhood heritage is the people who live here.' Each of the 300-plus activities and projects under RE: Tai Kok Tsui have been staged with local residents and businesses, including the pavilion, which draws its inspiration from the neighbourhood's maritime and industrial history Architect Su Chang says, 'There are a lot of things you can test with these kinds of pavilions,' including materials, forms, techniques and community engagement. Photo: Eugene Chan Originally a narrow peninsula extending into Victoria Harbour from Mong Kok's farmland, Tai Kok Tsui was home to the Cosmopolitan Dock, one of Hong Kong's largest shipyards, from 1880 to 1972. The docks attracted factories, workshops and a working-class community that survives today, even as Tai Kok Tsui's central location has made it a magnet for new office and housing developments.

Did Akash Deep dismiss Joe Root on a no-ball? Commentator highlights umpiring blunder
England batter Joe Root's dismissal against Akash Deep on Day 4 of the second Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham has sparked a controversy. Deep cleaned up Root with a peach of delivery late in the day as England lost three wickets just before stumps. However, commentator Alison Mitchell revealed that the India seamer may have bowled a no-ball which was overlooked by the pointed out how Deep's backfoot must've crossed the return crease on the side of the stumps and the delivery should've been deemed illegal, giving Root a reprieve. However, the umpires missed it and Root had to return to the pavilion for 6 (16).'The delivery from Akash Deep — which we said was wide off the crease — his foot on the back crease is out. Looks like by about two inches. Maybe a little bit more. But comfortably. So his back foot, which needs to land within the line, just taps about two inches over the line. Not picked up!,' said Mitchell on BBC TMS. According to MCC Laws, the bowler's foot mustn't touch the return crease for the delivery to be deemed vs IND 2nd Test Day 5 Updates'For a delivery to be fair in respect of the feet, in the delivery stride (21.5.1) the bowler's back foot must land within and not touching the return crease appertaining to his/her stated mode of delivery. (21.5.2) the bowler's front foot must land with some part of the foot, whether grounded or raised– on the same side of the imaginary line joining the two middle stumps as the return crease described in 21.5.1, and, – behind the popping crease,' reads the MCC law usually the duty of the third umpire to check for backfoot no-balls. However, Paul Reiffel didn't intervene to check the legality of the delivery, sending Root on his way back to the pavilion. The decision has left the cricketing fraternity divided as former England captain Nasser Hussain also spoke about it during commentary on Day 5 saying it was a marginal call.- EndsMust Watch
