Despite being ranked four spots above them in the rankings, India’s ODI captain Mithali Raj is wary of Sri Lanka ahead of the three-match ODI series starting on Tuesday in Galle. Although India are No.4 and Sri Lanka are No. 8 in the rankings, Raj says there isn’t much to separate the teams.Catch all the action from day four of the fifth Test between India and England through our live blog.Catch all the action from day four of the fifth Test between India and England through our live blog.
In the absence of three of their regular batsmen in Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft, all of whom are serving bans for their role in the ball-tampering controversy, former Australian all-rounder has called on the selectors to give opener Usman Khawaja a longer run in the Test team.

Apple has fixed one of the biggest problems with Apple Music: the unhelpful way that a given artists’ releases were listed and displayed on the service. Previously, singles and collections were lumped together with studio albums, so if you wanted to put on a particular album you’d usually have to scroll through dozens of unrelated or redundant releases to find it. This also meant it was hard to get a sense of what an unfamiliar artist’s most significant records were.
Now, things are much better — studio albums get their own section and are displayed first, while there are separate sections for live albums, compilations, and singles/EPs. There’s also a new “Essential Albums” pick that’s displayed for most major artists right under their...
Elon Musk’s The Boring Company showed off a new method for operating one of its massive boring machines: an Xbox controller. The company posted a short video on Twitter showing off an operator controlling a section of the machine with the device.
The company began its work in April 2017 by digging a trench at SpaceX’s Hawthorne, CA headquarters and was given approval to extend that tunnel for two miles under the city later that summer. It also began projects under LA’s Highway 405, and was given approval to dig under Washington DC, and Chicago. On Twitter, Musk noted that the video shows off one of the company’s new machines.

Apple has made a pair of new acquisitions as it prepares for its forthcoming video streaming service: a documentary about a elephant matriarch that leads her herd to a new home, and an animated film set in Ireland, according to Deadline.
Directed by filmmakers Victoria Stone and Mark Deeble and narrated by Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years A Slave), The Elephant Queen made its premiere this weekend at the Toronto International Film Festival. The story follows an elephant named Athena who leads her herd to a new watering hole during a drought, risking their youngest calves as they do so.
Wolfwalkers, directed by Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart, follows a young woman and her father as they arrive in Ireland to hunt down the last pack of wolves in...
CBS CEO and chairman Les Moonves has stepped down from his post following a new report from Ronan Farrow in The New Yorker, which brought new allegations of sexual misconduct. CBS’s board made the announcement on Sunday evening, following a report from CNN that broke word of his departure.
CBS says that its board of directors and its parent company National Amusements announced that they reached a settlement this evening that would see Moonves step down immediately. CBS will also donate $20 million to organizations that support the #MeToo movement, the amount of which will be “deducted from any severance benefits that may be due Moonves following the Board’s ongoing independent investigation.” Moonves will not receive any payout at this...
After more than a month away from spaceflight, SpaceX is back to launching rockets again with a new mission set for this evening from Florida. Late Sunday night, SpaceX plans to launch a communications satellite into orbit from its launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, within a four-hour launch window that begins at 11:28 PM ET. The company will also attempt to land the rocket’s first stage on one of its drone ships in the Atlantic Ocean.
Tonight’s cargo is a Telstar 18 VANTAGE satellite jointly operated by Canadian telecommunications company Telesat and Hong Kong’s APT Satellite Co., which will provide communications coverage over Asia. The satellite will be deployed around 32 minutes after the launch. Around 10...
Spider-Man, we need to talk about your backpack collectibles. There are simply far too many in your new PlayStation 4 adventure.
Scattering random objects around the city to force players to explore an open world is nothing new. In fact, you actually handle the system well, clearly and openly telling players exactly where they can find each and every backpack, and inciting the exploration by rewarding players with fun suits and cool upgrades. Plus, there’s fun lore contained in each bag.
But I have to ask: why on earth do you, Peter Parker, have 55 backpacks? And how did you manage to lose them across the entire city for almost a decade?
As the game exposits early on when introducing the bag scavenger hunt, you put an RFID tracker in...
Apple’s ‘Gather Round’ event is coming up this week, in which we’re expecting to see what the company has in store for its products this fall. Among the reveals we’re expecting to see are three new iPhones: an updated version of the iPhone X, a larger version, and a cheaper, 6.1-inch LCD version, which a new leak suggests will be called the iPhone XC.
As this week’s event has come ever closer, we’ve seen reports that suggested that the successor to the iPhone X would be called the iPhone XS, while the larger iPhone X model will be called the unwieldy iPhone XS Max,
A slide purported to be from a Chinese carrier’s marketing presentation has been circulating on the Chinese social media site Weibo (via Macotakara and 9to5Mac), suggests...
This week, Ford showed off the first teaser image (seen above) of an all-electric performance SUV codenamed “Mach 1.” The drawing comes almost nine months to the day after the company announced the Mach 1 at the Detroit Auto Show, alongside the news that it was upping its investment into electric vehicle technology to $11 billion.
And just like any other official teaser image issued by a big company, we only see what Ford wants us to see, which is that this car is clearly styled like a Mustang, at least to a certain degree. So while this new car is all about what’s next for Ford, the company is also leaning on a product with a proven heritage. In other words, Ford is leveraging a little nostalgia as it points its customers toward the...
There are a ton of podcasts out there, but finding the right one can be difficult. In our column Pod Hunters, we cover what we’ve been listening to that we can’t stop thinking about.
Steven Spielberg’s 1975 film Jaws is a cinematic classic, a film that set the mold for the modern blockbuster. This summer, Wondery debuted a new podcast from Mark Ramsey, the podcaster who was responsible for two earlier series, Inside Psycho and Inside the Exorcist. Inside Jaws opens with an infamous incident that occurred in July 1916: 25-year old Charles Epting Vansant takes a swim at in New Jersey with his dog, and became the first victim of a series of shark attacks that summer in the area. It was an incident that cemented the image of a killer shark...
That the modern world is a complex place will not have escaped your notice.
We are all dimly, unsettlingly aware that our lives are enmeshed in systems we can’t fully comprehend. The last meal you ate probably contained produce grown in another country that was harvested, processed, packaged, shipped, then sold to you. The phone in your hand is the end-product of an even more convoluted chain; one that relies on human labor from mines in Africa, assembly lines in China, and standing desks in San Francisco.
Explaining how these systems connect and the effect they have on the world is not an easy task. But it’s what professors Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler have attempted to do in a new artwork and essay, unveiled last Friday at the...

It never ceases to amuse me how, like clockwork, the rumour mills work overtime the moment the Indian team travels overseas. Fractures, rifts, dissent, factions, all of the usual suspects raise their heads the moment the Indian team boards the plane.

Catch all the action from day three of the fifth Test between India and England through our live blog.
India have quality batsmen and bowlers in the team but need to be mentally stronger to win a Test series abroad, Australian great Adam Gilchrist seemed to suggest on Sunday.
William Blake almost certainly wasn’t discussing India’s selectors when he said “hindsight is a wonderful thing, but foresight is better”, but after day three at The Oval it is a quote they would do well to ponder.
Alastair Cook, as unflappable as ever, led from the front in the final innings of his record-breaking test career as England built a commanding 154-run lead over India at the Oval on Sunday.
In a statement that was issued on Saturday, ZC said that Raza played club cricket in England without obtaining a no objection certificate.
The end of the first session on Day 1 of the match was delayed by half an hour because the lunch that had been dispatched from the players’ hotel was still en-route to the ground when the scheduled break for lunch was to be taken.
To commemorate India's contribution in World War 1, the Royal British Legion along with Surrey Cricket Club played a game of cricket during lunch on day 5 of the fifth Test between India and England.
Hong Kong, who beat UAE in the final of the qualifiers, are the only team participating in the tournament without ODI status. Their first-round matches will take place against Pakistan and India on 16 and 18 September, respectively, in Dubai.
"He should concentrate on his job and not make unnecessary interferences in the job of others."
"I think he's garnered a greater appreciation for other members of the team and a bit of an empathy for what different people go through."National selector Ed Smith said Sunday he is keen for England to make use of Alastair Cook's knowledge and experience after his retirement.
A 174-run opening stand between Ravikumar Samarth and Abhimanyu Easwaran put India A in a solid position on Day 2 of the second four-day game against Australia A at the KSCA Cricket Ground in Alur on Sunday.
India captain Virat Kohli added another feather to his cap during his innings of 49 in the fifth Test against England at Oval.
India lost the ODI as well as Test series to England and the CoA is expected to assess the team's performance after the end of the fifth Test.Marvel Studios knew exactly what they were doing when they chose to space out the releases of Infinity War and Avengers 4 by a whole year, giving us just over twelve months to contemplate the genocidal cliffhanger of the recent Marvel mega-hit and conceive countless theories speculating on what could be coming our way in next year’s sequel.
In their search for answers, fans have proven that they’re willing to look anywhere and everywhere for clues, even the hashtags of a seemingly innocent Instagram post from Jeremy Renner. The Hawkeye actor recently uploaded a selfie in which the star showed off his stylish new look, with the accompanying caption reading as follows:
“Day is done! It’s Friday … enjoy your weekend everyone @marvel @avengers #purplebadguy
#hawkeye #widow? #avengers? #A6 ? #sendinglove #
#cawcawmfs #isanyonegonnashowup??? #whoISstillALIVE?”
While you might think that there isn’t much to see here, certain fans have been scrambling to decipher the meaning of these hashtags. Granted, most of them are pretty obvious. “#purplebadguy” is the villainous Thanos, whom the bow-wielding “#hawkeye” will presumably be battling with in the upcoming Avengers 4. “#widow,” meanwhile, is a clear reference to Black Widow, implying a possible team-up between Natasha Romanoff and the only other Phase 1 Avenger not to have their own solo movie (so far).
It’s the “#A6 ?” part however, that’s got a few people confused, though there seems to be a pretty reasonable explanation for this, too. Back in 2012, the original line-up for the titular team of The Avengers was Hawkeye, Black Widow, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and Hulk. It’s likely no coincidence that this makes six Avengers. Incidentally, it just so happens that with the exception of Mark Ruffalo, the full line-up have matching “A6” tattoos in a show of Phase 1 solidarity.
Speaking of which, from the sound of things, Avengers 4 will see the reunion of the original six, who’ll be bringing the first eleven years of the franchise to a head when the film hits theaters on May 3rd, 2019.
