India U19 vs England U19, 1st Youth Test: India U19 Stay In Command After Posting Massive Total Of 540

NDTVa day ago
Rocky Flintoff, son of former captain Andrew Flintoff, made a solid 93 but England U19 wobbled to 239 for five against their Indian counterparts at close on Day 2 of the four-day Youth Test in Beckenham, England on Sunday. Flintoff's 152-ball innings ensured that the home side would not fall apart entirely in the face of India's mammoth first innings total of 540. But they are still 310 runs shy of the visitors' score. Thomas Rew (3) and Eknath Singh (0) were at crease when the stumps were drawn. After the early departure of Archie Vaughan, son of former England skipper Michael Vaughan, and Jaydn Denly, nephew of former England opener Joe, Rocky found an ideal partner in captain Hamza Sheikh (84, 134 balls).
They added 154 runs for a fine third wicket alliance as England moved to 191 for two.
But Vaibhav Suryavanshi's part-time left-arm spin ended the stay of Sheikh, caught by Henil Patel at deep, and that dismissal opened the door for India.
They added the wicket of Flintoff and Ben Mayes (11) to peg back the hosts.
Earlier, India, starting from their overnight 450 for seven, added a further 90 runs to the total, courtesy RS Ambarish's 70 off 124 balls.
The Tamil Nadu young man, who started the day from 31, had a good partnership of 82 runs for the eighth wicket to Henil (38).

Vaishali, Harika break the rapid tie to join Humpy, Divya in last 16 of Chess World Cup

Nagpur: D Harika and Vaishali Rameshbabu dominated the 10-minute time control of the rapid format to reach the fourth round of the top 16 players in the FIDE Women's Chess World Cup at Batumi, Georgia, on Monday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now After playing a series of four draws, both Harika and Vaishali registered victories in similar fashion in the third-round tie-breaks. They joined India No.1 Koneru Humpy and reigning world junior champion Divya Deshmukh, as four Indian masters made the cut to the last 16. Vantika Agrawal, however, suffered a heartbreak defeat against higher-ranked Ukrainian GM Kateryna Lagno. While world women No.12 Harika outplayed Greek IM Stavroula Tsolakidou, 15th-ranked Vaishali recorded a thumping win over American IM Carissa Yip. Both Harika and Vaishali won their respective third rounds 4-2 after they drew their classical games with the white and black pieces. Both the Indian Grandmasters started their tie-break rounds on Monday with a draw each in the two games of 15-minute time control. The 10-minute time control of the rapid format was enough for India No.2 and 3 to confirm their last 16 berths. The 2483 Elo Harika opted for the English Opening to take the lead by winning the marathon 60-move contest with her white pieces. She drubbed Stavroula in just 29 moves while defending with the black pieces in the second game. In contrast, the 2481 Elo Vaishali utilised her opening advantage with the white pieces well to become a piece up with an extra knight, outplaying American IM Carissa in just 27 moves for the decisive advantage. Following up her facile win, Vaishali not only defended well with the black pieces but also capitalised on Carissa's 31st move blunder to garner full points by winning the contest in 37 moves.

City's prep, 12cr washed away as Asian Rowing C'ship called off

Bhopal: The Asian Rowing Championship, originally planned for October at Bhopal's Upper Lake, has been cancelled. The event, set to host around 350 athletes and 200 officials from 15 different nations, will now be held in Vietnam instead. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now TOI accessed a letter written by the Indian rowing federation to the Asian rowing federation in this context. The cancellation is learnt to have caused a financial loss ranging between Rs 12 crore to Rs 15 crore for Bhopal. In the wake of tensions between India and Pakistan and Operation Sindoor in May the Indian Rowing Federation communicated to the Asian Rowing Federation in May about their inability to organise the championship in Bhopal. Hence the venue was shifted. Speaking to TOI, MP Rowing Federation President Mahavir Bhatnagar explained the difficult decision to shift the tournament "As Pakistan's team was expected to participate. We decided against hosting the championship." He further said, "Consequently, the National Federation had to inform the Asian Federation about India's inability to organise this championship." The cancellation of this prestigious event in Bhopal left the sports community and organisers deeply disappointed. The Upper Lake venue would have welcomed Asia's finest rowing talent in October. The decision affected both sporting activities and the state's economy. "The hosting opportunity could have generated around Rs 12 crore for Bhopal and Madhya Pradesh," according to Bhatnagar. The economic impact extends beyond the immediate loss of visitor spending. The event would have boosted Bhopal's profile as a sporting destination and potentially attracted future international competitions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The opportunity to showcase the city's hospitality and organisational capabilities to an international audience has been hit. "The championship would have established Bhopal as a significant rowing destination on the international map, with the Upper Lake providing excellent conditions for the continental event," said Bhatnagar. Local athletes expressed disappointment at missing the chance to compete locally in a world class tournament. "This event would have offered us international competitive experience and technical knowledge. Several young rowers, including myself, were preparing intensively for this championship," commented an athlete on the issue without quoting his name.
