Very Touching
Inspiring
Just a normal reaction
Didn't resonate with me
Visibly moved, Gill responded: "This message means a lot to me. Growing up, I played almost all my cricket for my dad. He and my best friend are the only two people I listen to when it comes to cricket. But yes... it also reminded me that I missed my triple hundred!"
Gill's monumental innings helped India post 587 all out, their highest Test total in England in 35 years. The bowlers capitalised on the momentum, reducing England to 25 for 3 before a brief fightback by Joe Root and Harry Brook took them to 77 for 3 at stumps, still trailing by 510 runs.

England vs India LIVE SCORE UPDATES 2nd Test Day 3: Root, Brook to bat on for ENG; play resumes 3:30
2nd Test, ENG vs IND LIVE UPDATES: Indian pacers will aim to get early wickets on Day 3 to tighten visitors' grip on the match England vs India 2nd Test Day 3 LIVE Updates: The Indian cricket team could not have asked for a better position in the second Test after two days of play, as the visitors currently lead the game by 510 runs in the first innings. England ended Day 2 at 77 for 3 in reply to India's 587. The Indian team was initially worried about Bumrah's absence in the match, but his replacement, Akash Deep, stepped up and took crucial wickets to push the hosts on the back foot early. Siraj also chipped in with one to worsen England's woes. On Day 3 today, Shubman Gill would love nothing more than his bowlers delivering in style and wrapping up the English innings in one or one-and-a-half sessions. They can achieve this if they manage to take two or three wickets in the first hour of play. However, England, with an in-form middle and lower order, will fancy their chances and try to first bat through the first two sessions before bringing their Bazball approach into play.

Supported well by Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, Gill remained unflustered despite England's various tactics, including short-ball ploys and defensive field settings. England's bowlers struggled on a flat pitch, and Gill looked set for a triple century before falling to a tired shot. After his dismissal, the innings wrapped up quickly. In response, England were rocked early by Akash Deep, who struck twice in two balls, and Mohammed Siraj, who removed Zak Crawley. Joe Root and Harry Brook survived some nervy moments to guide England to 77/3 at stumps, but with a huge deficit still looming, the hosts remain under serious pressure heading into Day 3.

Maya Higa leaves QTCinderella's ‘Wine About It' podcast after 4 years; fans shocked by sudden announcement
(Image via @mayahiga & @qtcinderella/X) Twitch fans were caught off guard when Maya Higa, wildlife conservationist and streamer, stepped away from the beloved Wine About It podcast. After nearly four years of laughter, deep dives, and occasional chaos with QTCinderella, the announcement had the internet buzzing. So why did Maya leave, and what's next for the podcast? Why Did Maya Leave? Maya Higa stepped away to give her full attention to Alveus Sanctuary, the nonprofit exotic animal sanctuary she founded in Austin, Texas. Between running educational streams, caring for over 30 animals, and building conservation awareness, she realized something had to give. Unfortunately, it was the podcast. And yep, she made it super clear on X (formerly Twitter) that she's still incredibly thankful for QT, the fans, and the wild journey the pod has been. What's Alveus Sanctuary? Alveus isn't just a side project; it's Maya's life's mission. It's a one-of-a-kind animal sanctuary that's grown massively since its launch. Even Twitch backed it with a $100K donation in 2024. QT herself was involved in building parts of the sanctuary (fun fact: she helped set up the fox enclosure). Maya's been pouring her energy into educational content and making wildlife conservation actually cool and accessible. QTCinderella's Reaction: Supportive but Sentimental QT, who's been co-hosting Wine About It since day one, opened up on X shortly after the announcement. Her tone? Bittersweet. She acknowledged the sadness of the change but made it clear that the podcast isn't going anywhere. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo It's just... evolving. 'Wine About It has been my baby,' she wrote, 'and this is a reallllllly sad change.' Still, she encouraged fans to stay tuned. Valkyrae Joins the Mix: A Fresh Chapter Begins Not long after Maya's farewell post, fans were hit with another twist: Valkyrae is the new co-host. Yes, that Valkyrae. Fresh off the closure of her own podcast, Press ESC , Valkyrae is no stranger to the format—or to chaos with friends. With Rae stepping in, Wine About It promises to keep its energy high, its wine flowing, and its topics spicy. Maya Higa didn't leave because of beef or burnout—it was simply time. Time to go all-in on Alveus. Time to let QT and Rae take the podcast into a new era. The pod still lives, and it's still Wine About It —just with a different vintage. So whether you're team Maya, team QT, or just here for chaotic girl talk, one thing's clear: the show must go on.

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's India return likely to be delayed as BCCI told not to go ahead with Bangladesh tour: Report
WhaThe return of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in India colours might get delayed as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was reportedly instructed by the government to not go ahead with their white-ball tour of Bangladesh next month amidst rising diplomatic tensions between the two countries. India were slated to play three ODIs and three T20Is against Bangladesh, starting from August 17. If India do not travel to Bangladesh, it could be a big blow to the Men in Blue in the lead up to the 2026 T20 World Cup. India have not played a single T20I since the England series at home in January-February. Both Virat and Rohit have already retired from Tests and T20Is. A postponement of the India vs Bangladesh series further extends Rohit-Virat's return to the cricket field. However, there has been no official intimation from the BCCI regarding the Bangladesh tour. According to an India Today report, the Indian government's decision to not allow BCCI comes from the current political condition in Bangladesh. "The political situation in Bangladesh is not stable, and in light of the diplomatic standoff, the Indian government has advised the BCCI not to go ahead with this tour," the source said. Both the countries are facing trade-related tensions at the moment after the Indian government imposed a major import route restrictions on goods, which includes ready-made garments and processed food items from Bangladesh. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has also issued a notification that no ready-made garment products can enter India via northeast-based integrated check posts (ICPs). It came after Bangladesh imposed a similar restriction in April. According to the Future Tours Programme (FTP), India are set to travel to Australia in October-November for three ODIs and five T20Is. Post that, India will host South Africa in November-December for two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is. If the Bangladesh tour is called off, Rohit and Virat will return in India colours in Australia.
