Select 344: Mixed by mishmish
Amman-based producer and singer mishmish delivers this week's Select mix titled كوكتيل مليء بالإحساس لأرق الناس ('A Cocktail Full of Feeling for the Softest Souls'). Jul 15, 2025 This week's Select mix arrives like a quiet letter left at your doorstep. Titled كوكتيل مليء بالإحساس لأرق الناس ('A Cocktail Full of Feeling for the Softest Souls'), the set is curated by Amman-based producer and singer mishmish, whose warm blend of lo-fi electronics, soft vocals, and regional sampling has made her a subtle yet steady voice across the region's independent scene. mishmish's mix is a deeply personal selection of songs, unreleased beats, and demos, crafted less like a DJ set and more like an after-midnight confession. Hovering between nostalgia and experiment, her soundworld feels hand-stitched: stitched with slow-burning synths, voice notes, pop hooks filtered through reverb, and rhythms borrowed from Arab pop and internet-age melancholy. The set opens with 'مشمش وتفاح - سارية السواس', a dreamlike rework built on the unmistakable voice of Syrian singer Saria Al Sawas, flipped and reframed by mishmish and producer Tuffah. From there, the mix drifts between classic Arab heartbreak (Nabil Shuail's 'Sadini Fe Gharamah') and lo-fi UK rap (John Glacier's 'Some Other Thing'), before landing in the distorted introspection of 'Toes Down' by Loukeman. Much like her name - fruitful, small and soft - mishmish's sound is intimate and full of feeling. Each track feels selected with care, with a quiet understanding that music can be both fragile and powerful. SceneNoise · Select 344: Mixed by mishmish

3rd Test: Jadeja's defiance in vain as England defend 192 in fiery Lord's epic
It wasn't as improbable as the miracle England pulled off at Lord's six years ago. But once again, they summoned the spirit of the hallowed ground to script a remarkable 22-run win and deflate India's spirit in the third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. The Monday morning blues arrived early for India, as their batting crumbled under pressure, while England turned up the heat - with both ball and barb - transforming the grand old venue into a hostile cauldron for the visitors, first on Sunday evening and then again on Monday Jadeja, with a hard-fought - and at times debatable - fifty, delayed the inevitable. He stitched defiant partnerships with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, but the lower order's grit couldn't undo the damage inflicted by the top order's vs IND, 3rd TEST HIGHLIGHTS | SCORECARD It was a steely effort from two of the game's finest all-rounders. While Jadeja displayed the greatest virtue in sport - indeed in life itself - never giving up, batting out 181 deliveries with unwavering resolve, Ben Stokes, England's indefatigable leader, bowled like a man possessed. He emptied the tank in a spell that was all heart, all fire, and all of them deserved to finish on the losing side. But, as ever, sport offers no guarantees. It can be cruel - brutally eventually fell short by just 22 runs, left to rue what might have been - if only the tail had contributed in the first innings, if only they hadn't conceded 63 extras, if only the top order had shown a touch more composure in the second IN HEARTBREAKIt ended in heartbreak. With the deficit down to 22, Mohammed Siraj - who had shown remarkable grit for 30 deliveries - suffered the most agonising of dismissals: a defensive shot off Shoaib Bashir trickled back onto his stumps. The ball barely kissed the wood, but enough to end the England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 14, 2025While tensions had flared throughout the match, the drama of Day 5 gave way to something deeper - mutual respect. Siraj, down on his knees and in tears, was consoled by the very England players he had sledged. And in a fitting finale, Ben Stokes and Ravindra Jadeja - warriors on either side - embraced warmly at the the end, Test cricket appeared, at one point, that the final day wouldn't stretch beyond Lunch. But Jadeja ensured it went well past Tea, giving romantics of the longest format an unforgettable day - in the age of Bazball and relentless T20 churn, this was a stirring ode to Test cricket's enduring had promised to finish it within the first hour. India had promised positive cricket. But only one side truly walked the their credit, India dragged the contest deep into the second session. Nitish Reddy fell at the stroke of Lunch, ending a gritty 30-run stand and leaving India teetering at 112 for 8. Jadeja and Bumrah delayed the inevitable, adding 35 runs across 132 deliveries. Bumrah, walking in on the back of four consecutive ducks, showed immense character with the bat - occupying the crease for 54 balls to score just five. But India couldn't break the shackles, weighed down by the early wreckage caused by the top GONE!Just one more needed now England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 14, 2025Jadeja held firm, smartly rotating the strike and farming it where he could. There were murmurs over whether he should have looked to shift gears and force the issue. But by then, the game had already slipped. India weren't undone by the tail - they were gutted by the FIGHT AND HEARTBREAKIndia were consumed by the very fire they had lit. On Day 4, Shubman Gill took aim at England's openers for time-wasting near stumps, even appearing to tell one of them to "grow some b**ls." The jab lit a fuse. It fired up the English camp, and none more so than Ben Stokes. The England captain responded in the only way he knows - with fire and fury. He bent his back and gave it everything with the ball, while ensuring the sledging chorus from his team-mates never has been a compelling series between two sides in transition, exchanging blows in every Test. England struck first in Leeds. India hit back emphatically in Birmingham. And just when it looked like Shubman Gill's side had seized the momentum after a superb second-innings bowling effort at Lord's, Stokes and his men dug deep to protect the fortress with grit, guts, and guile. The Lord's pitch wasn't demonic, even on Day 5, but England's bowlers made 192 feel like Mount Everest. India folded for one will sting. Riding high on confidence after Birmingham, Gill's youthful side were handed a bruising reality check - that in Test cricket, there is no room to switch off. Not even for a single session. England added 116 runs for their final three wickets; India, by contrast, just 11 in the first innings. Despite bowling England out for a below-par total in the second dig, India allowed them back into the game by slumping to 58 for 4 on Sunday evening. And then there were the 63 runs conceded in extras - a shocking margin in a low-scoring thriller. By the time the ninth wicket fell, India still needed MORNING BLUESNeeding 135 more to win with six wickets in hand, India simply had to bat out the first hour to stay in the contest. But the English pace attack - spearheaded by a venomous Jofra Archer and the tireless Stokes - tore through them with ruthless efficiency. The lapses from Sunday evening - with Jaiswal, Gill, and Karun Nair all falling to soft dismissals - proved costly. On Day 5, every single run had to be eked out, every moment lived on a knife's edge, as England tightened the was compelling Test cricket - raw, chaotic, and utterly gripping. After India slid to 82 for 7 in pursuit of 193, every run was met with desperate cheers from their fans. Jadeja and Nitish Reddy resisted valiantly, facing not only high-class bowling on a deteriorating pitch but also a torrent of sledges - including, remarkably, a Wrestlemania-style choke that left even seasoned watchers momentarily stunned. The energy in the stands mirrored the ferocity on the pitch. Each pacer's run-up drew roars, each delivery a crescendo of collapse drew inevitable comparisons to Bridgetown 1997, when India failed to chase 120. More recently, it echoed Mumbai 2024, when they fell short chasing 147 against New Zealand. For a side that famously chased 329 at the Gabba, this was a humbling Archer may not have finished with a five-for on return, but his impact was immense. The searing delivery that uprooted Rishabh Pant's off-stump, followed by a stunning diving return catch to dismiss Washington Sundar, sent chills through the Indian camp. Stokes, meanwhile, bowled one of the longest unbroken spells of his career - 9.3 overs on the bounce - ensuring India felt the squeeze with every must have felt like the walls were closing in. And in the end, they did.- Ends

Ravindra Jadeja guiding India lower order vs England with intent: Varun Aaron
Former India pacer Varun Aaron lauded Ravindra Jadeja for playing a key and composed role with the bat on Day 1 of the second Test against England in Birmingham. The Indian all-rounder stood tall amidst a top- and middle-order collapse, guiding the lower order with proactive and aggressive intent against the England their commanding performance in the Leeds Test, India's top order failed to replicate the same dominance. However, it was skipper Shubman Gill and Jadeja's calm partnership at the back end of the innings that helped India end Day 1 in a competitive in to bat at No. 7, Jadeja provided crucial support to his captain, helping India recover from a shaky 211/5 after the dismissal of Nitish Kumar Reddy. The pair stitched together a vital unbeaten 99-run stand, steadying the innings and pushing India past the 300-run mark by stumps. ENG vs IND, 2nd Test, Day 1: HIGHLIGHTSAaron, speaking on JioHotstar, pointed out how Jadeja's calculated aggression—especially against spinner Shoaib Bashir—played a key role in shifting momentum back in India's favour. He highlighted Jadeja's ability to rotate strike, keep the scoreboard moving, and maintain a strong presence at the crease without falling into a defensive shell.'I thought Jaddu's body language was brilliant. From ball one, he was looking to rotate strike, show intent, and stay mobile at the crease. He didn't just try to grind it out ball after ball — he was actively looking to make things happen," Aaron stood out was how he approached Bashir. Normally, he'd play him cautiously, but today he took calculated risks — and that's what mattered. He made sure the scoreboard kept moving. By the final session, India were scoring close to four runs an over — and that's exactly where you want to be. As Ravindra Jadeja, when you're guiding the lower order, you want to be solid but also bring some aggression,"he innings began with promise as opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a fluent 87 and added an 80-run stand with Karun Nair (31). However, the middle order failed to capitalise, with vice-captain Rishabh Pant—coming off twin centuries in Leeds—managing just 25 this was once again Shubman Gill who stood up when it mattered. The Indian captain brought up his second century of the series with a composed and mature knock, anchoring the innings after the collapse. From the other end, Jadeja's unbeaten 41 ensured that India didn't lose further wickets in the final session, maintaining a scoring rate close to four runs per over during the closing acknowledged that Jadeja's approach in guiding the lower order combined solid defence with intent to score—helping India finish strongly after being in a precarious position earlier in the ended Day 1 at 310/5, a total that looked far from reach at one point. As Day 2 beckons, Indian fans will hope Jadeja's experience continues to complement Gill's form, with the pair eyeing a bigger lead to put pressure back on the hosts.- EndsMust Watch

ENG vs IND: Sachin Tendulkar nostalgic after India's Leeds show, Ganguly reacts
Indian legends Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly engaged in a nostalgic and light-hearted exchange on social media after India's commanding performance on the opening day of the first Test against England at a fresh-looking line-up and missing the experience of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, India closed Day 1 of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy on 359 for 3. Yashasvi Jaiswal struck 101, Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 127, and Rishabh Pant added a fluent 65* to put the visitors in Tendulkar congratulated the young duo for their centuries and drew parallels to the famous 2002 Headingley Test, where he (193), Ganguly (128), and Rahul Dravid (148) all reached three figures in a dominant first innings. That memorable outing had seen India post a huge total and secure a famous innings and 46-run victory. Ganguly responded with a playful twist, noting that the surface this year was more batting-friendly than in 2002 and suggesting India could end up with four centurions. He named Pant and Karun Nair as possible additions to the list. X screengrab "Hi, Champ this time it could be 4... on this good surface... Pant and maybe Karun... the surface on day 1 in 2002 was a bit different than this," he wrote, suggesting more centuries could be on the cards this time were quick to celebrate the interaction, praising the camaraderie between the two former captains. Many also reminisced about the iconic 249-run stand shared by Tendulkar and Ganguly at the same venue 22 years ago, with Sanjay Bangar's 68 at the top and Dravid's gritty ton laying the platform for one of India's finest overseas vs IND 1st Test Day 1 HighlightsAs the match unfolded, India's top order made the most of favourable conditions. England chose to bowl first under clear skies-relying on recent history, which showed the side bowling first had won each of the last six Tests at Headingley-but the Indian batters responded with poise and Rahul and Jaiswal gave India a steady start before the former was dismissed for 42. Debutant Sai Sudharsan was dismissed for a duck by Ben Stokes on the stroke of lunch, but Jaiswal and Gill stitched together a vital partnership in the afternoon. Jaiswal's fifth Test hundred came with his trademark flair, while Gill, captaining the side for the first time in the format, batted with maturity and elegance to bring up a commanding accelerated in the final session, attacking England's bowlers and pushing the scoring rate. By stumps, India were well placed to post a huge total, with England's decision to bowl already under the surface in 2002, which offered early assistance to the seamers, the Headingley pitch on Friday appeared flat and true, allowing the batters to settle in. India's young guns made the most of it, and with more batting to come, the visitors will look to extend their dominance on Day In You May Also Like
