'I don't think I've ever seen a bowler do that': Akash Deep hammered for 'unnecessary' celebration by England coach, retired greats
Indian pacer Akash Deep sparked controversy on Day 2 of the final India vs England Test at The Oval with an unusual send-off for Ben Duckett. Former England stars called the act 'unnecessary' and criticised the gesture during post-match reactions. read more The fifth and final Test between India and England continued to be full of drama on Day 2 at The Oval. After England's openers made a flying start with a quickfire partnership of 92 runs, India's bowlers came back strongly to bowl them out for 247, giving England just a small lead of 23 runs. Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj were the pick of the bowlers with four wickets each, while Akash Deep took one under his belt. But the biggest talking point, however, was what Indian pacer Akash Deep did after getting English opener Ben Duckett out. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Duckett had smashed a few boundaries, including a reverse hook six off Deep, and looked dangerous. But soon after, Akash Deep got him caught behind for 43 runs. Instead of celebrating with his teammates, Deep walked up to Duckett and put his arm around him while he was walking off the field. Akash Deep slammed for strange celebration This act didn't go down well with former England players and coaches, who criticised Akash Deep in post-match reactions. 'I was just saying many in my time, a lot of players would have just dropped the elbow on him. I don't think I've ever seen a bowler do that after getting someone out,' England batting coach Marcus Trescothick said. 'You see bowlers have many words like we've seen a bit in this series on both sides. But it was just different wasn't it? I was just laughing and joking about it. Ben doesn't really do a great deal. Put your head down and walk off, your job is done at that point. There is no need to walk him off in that fashion,' he added. Former England captain Mike Atherton also called it 'unnecessary' and asked fellow commentator Dinesh Karthik if he had seen anything like it. Karthik said he didn't think it was the right way to behave after getting someone out, but felt Duckett didn't react badly and maybe they knew each other personally. 'He's given Duckett a bit of a send-off, which is probably unnecessary, but it's the wicket that India desperately wanted. How many times did a bowler put his arm around after dismissing you, DK?' Atherton asked Karthik. 'I'm not sure if this is the right way to send off a batter, especially after you've got him out. Not many batters would behave the way Ben Duckett did, or rather did. It looked like they knew each other well,' Karthik replied. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD There were a couple of more heated exchanges later in the day. Joe Root was involved in an altercation with Prasidh Krishna, and Sai Sudharsan gave a mouthful to Duckett after getting dismissed in India's second innings. The finale is heating up with India looking to save the series, while England want to maintain their lead.

Makeup Mantras with Masaba Gupta: Designer shares her go-to colours, tools and tricks to feel 'brighter and confident'
Masaba Gupta, who wears multiple hats as a fashion designer, actor and entrepreneur, has a playful yet powerful sense of style. She often blends her fashion choices with makeup that is minimal, yet impactful. The 35-year-old's new personal role as a mother hasn't stopped her from innovating for her fashion or makeup brand. In fact, she says motherhood has led to an evolution of her idea of beauty. Masaba Gupta shares her makeup mantras.(Instagram) In Makeup Mantras for HT Lifestyle, Masaba Gupta goes unfiltered about what beauty means to her, her everyday makeup routine, the colours that make her look better, the tools and hacks she loves, and a DIY trick passed on from her mother Neena Gupta. Q. What is beauty to you, and how has the term evolved for you? Masaba Gupta: Beauty to me is a form of self-expression... the bravest form of self-expression. And it has definitely evolved for me ever since I have become a mother, especially to a baby girl. Now I think that more than trying to fit in, one is just constantly and day-to-day in a mode of self-acceptance, because your body is changing every day, how you look in the mirror changes every day. It just comes from a place of accepting that you are doing your best with the change, growth and evolution, and coming to terms with it. Beauty becomes more about embracing the now - the reality of a situation - and the reality that beauty is not really one single definition! That it actually means different things at different phases in one's life. And I truly believe that inner beauty is something that always shows on the outside. Q. How would you describe your personal approach to beauty—minimal, bold, or mood-driven? Masaba Gupta: My personal approach to beauty has always been minimal, but it's also very mood driven. But I think I lean towards makeup that is classic and close to my natural skin as possible. It's just about accentuating what I have - the features, and not trying to look like someone else. Q. What does your everyday makeup routine look like, especially when you're short on time? Masaba Gupta: My everyday makeup routine is very simple. I will only wear a little bit of cream blush and possibly a little bit of color on my lips. If I'm feeling like I want to do matte, I do a nice matte lipstick or I do lip oil. If I do lip oil, it's usually in a berry or a guava tone. And if it's a matte lip colour, then it's mostly in the nude, pink or brown shades. Q. Is makeup more about self-expression or confidence-boosting—or both? Masaba Gupta: It's self-expression. It's also confidence boosting. It's also a coping mechanism for most people. It's something that is transformative. It is something that is a mood enhancer. Because I think when I wear makeup, I feel very much in charge. And I know that, especially postpartum, if I do put on a little bit of colour on my cheeks and my lips, I do feel brighter, more confident, better through the day. Q. What are the five beauty products you absolutely cannot do without? Masaba Gupta: The five beauty products that I absolutely cannot live without are my cream blush, the lip oil, kajal, possibly some serum tint - like a tinted moisturizer that has skin-loving benefits. And the last would be bronzer! Q. What's the one skincare step you never skip before applying makeup? Masaba Gupta: Applying a ton of moisturizer or any hydrating serum. I think when you have a hydrated canvas of a face, it always helps makeup settle better. Q. Which lipstick shade is your signature - the one you reach for again and again? Masaba Gupta: In terms of lipsticks, I mostly will wear a nude brown. That's my signature shade. In my LoveChild range, there is a shade called Touch Me Not 2.0. It's a beautiful nude, almost like a sand, a dark sand brown. And it's very close to my natural lip color. So I like it because it just gives a little pop. But it's also very natural on my skin.

Masaba Gupta: My go-to lipstick formula is a matte. Q. What is a lipstick colour that works best for the Indian skin tone, according to you - and why? Masaba Gupta: I think the lipstick color that works best for Indian skin is something that is brown but with a hint of pink or mauve in it. That works because Indians do have skin that is slightly uneven and its pigmented, of course. It is also hot here and humid, so we have enlarged pores just naturally. When you have a nice brown lipstick that's soft and when you have something that's a little bit of a matte or a creamy matte kind of shade, it helps in making at least the skin look a little bit even. Masaba Gupta prefers nude lipstick shades for a minimalistic look.(Instagram) Q. Any tricks you use to make your lip colour last longer? Masaba Gupta: Always put a ton of petroleum jelly or any lip balm that you like as a thick layer while you're doing your foundation, so that until you reach your lip, it's nicely hydrated. Never completely take off the lip balm. Just gently dab with a tissue and once you've done your application of the lipstick, you should always just take a little thin film of tissue and dab some setting powder or some loose powder on top of it. Just a little dab and it goes a long way because it really helps in keeping the lipstick on for longer. Q. When was the first time you ever used lipstick - how old were you? Did your mother react with a smile or an angry face? Masaba Gupta: The first time I used lipstick was probably for an annual day in school. I was very young - in the 6th or 7th grade. I remember it was a beautiful brick red lipstick. I was playing a gypsy girl and we had to wear this really dramatic makeup with winged eyeliner and bright lipstick. I found it such a cool look! My mother was very happy because she put the lipstick and the makeup on for me, and she loved the outcome. Q. Do you have any DIY beauty hacks or traditional tips passed down from your mom? Masaba Gupta: Yes! Whenever I have a long shoot day, and I know I'm going to have makeup on me for maybe 10-12 hours, I always carry a muslin cloth and keep dipping it in ice water. I just squeeze all the water out and just keep putting it on my face. It's quite nice because when it's hot on a set and you have a full face of makeup on, you also want to keep looking fresh and not have the makeup just kick up or crack. It's nice because it helps you feel better. It's also nice and cool. The pores stay nice and closed, at least for that much time.

What Did Prasidh Krishna Say To Joe Root In His Tactical War Of Words? He Himself Reveals
Prasidh Krishna has downplayed his on-field exchange with Joe Root on Day 2 of the fifth Test at The Oval. Known for keeping his cool during games, Root unexpectedly fired back at Prasidh after the Indian pacer had a few words for him in the middle of a promising bowling spell. Despite the visible tension, Prasidh described the incident as harmless banter, though he admitted he was surprised by Root's strong reaction. Root had walked in with England comfortably placed at 129/2 in reply to India's first-innings total of 224. However, the Indian bowlers began building pressure early in the session. Prasidh struck early by removing Zak Crawley and followed it up with a delivery that beat Root outside off-stump, prompting a brief verbal exchange. On the next ball, Root responded by guiding it past gully for four and gave a reply of his own. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena quickly stepped in to calm things down, and KL Rahul also joined in support of his teammate. Speaking to BBC's Test Match Special, Prasidh clarified: 'I don't know why Rooty [reacted]. I just said, 'You're looking in great shape,' and then it turned into a lot of abuse and all of that,' the 29-year-old pacer said. In the press conference that followed, Prasidh explained that unsettling Root was a deliberate tactic. 'That was the plan, but I didn't expect the couple of words I said to get such a big reaction from him,' he said. 'That's just who I am when I'm bowling, when I'm enjoying. If it means that I have a bit of a chatter with the batter... and it does help me when I can get under the nerves of the batsman and get a reaction from them. But I love the guy that he is. He is a legend of the game and I think it is great when two people are out there wanting to do the best and be a winner at a given moment.' Heated Day Day 2 also witnessed other minor flashpoints. Akash Deep briefly placed his arm around Ben Duckett after dismissing him, and later, Duckett was seen exchanging words with Sai Sudharsan after Sudharsan's dismissal was upheld on review. Indian pacers after being attacked by Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley made a brilliant comeback to restrict England from 92-0 to 247. Both Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna took 4 wickets each while Akashdeep Singh took one wickets. Chris Woakes did not come to bat as he is ruled out from this test after getting injured saving a four during Day 1. India currently stands on 75 at the loss of two wickets leading by 52 runs.
