Foreign Secretaries expected to talk about Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi: Indian Foreign Secretary Harsh Shringla will be in London on Friday and Saturday this week for talks with his opposite number on bilateral ties.

Indian bowlers failed to impress: With Rahul scoring a century and Jadeja’s two fifties, the three-day match against the county selection team is not bad for batting. It is Indian bowling that inspires very little confidence. It was given a quick crackdown after the announcement but failed to impress. The three-day game was a last-minute test for the upcoming Test series. If it is anything to go by, it looks like Advantage England is ahead.
Second row English team easily beat Pakistan: England’s ODI win over Pakistan on Thursday proved to be the most remarkable victory ever. Not because England won by nine wickets, but it was a last-minute win by an England team when the parent team was forced to fall apart. England’s team included five new players, whose names were forgotten by captain Ben Stokes. There were 124 caps among the England team, including 98 for Stokes. Pakistan were all out for 141, England got there in 21.5 overs and Stokes did not need to come out to bat.

Shafali’s fellow opener Smriti Mandhana for India will soon take the field for the Southern Brave.
