After a bright and sunny Day 3, clouds gathered ominously over Manchester on Friday evening. TimesofIndia.com's senior reporter Sahil Malhotra reported from the ground: 'In not very pleasant news for the Indian cricket team, chilly winds and dark clouds have taken over Manchester after day three. The forecast doesn't look very, very good for day four and day five. Day four at least could be India's day to bat, and India did find it very difficult when they batted under clouds on the opening day.

There is a 50–60% chance of rain in the morning session, but things could improve later with chances of showers reducing to 40% by tea and 30% by stumps.
India, trailing 1-2 in the five-match series, also face the mental hurdle of never having won a Test match at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, England are firmly in control, having ended Day 3 at 544/7 with Joe Root's masterful 150 pushing them 186 runs ahead. Ben Stokes remains unbeaten on 77 as the hosts look to seal the series.

Heavy rain causes flash floods, landslides and road blockages in HP
Shimla: Over 250 roads, including two highways, remained blocked, while many areas plunged into darkness, and water supply schemes remained disrupted due to flash floods and landslides as heavy rain lashed Himachal Pradesh for the second successive day on Wednesday. According to the state emergency operations centre (SEOC), 289 roads across Himachal remained closed, with the highest 193 roads disrupted in the flood-hit Mandi district. The Chandigarh-Manali highway was also blocked near Pandoh in the morning hours but was later reopened. A portion of the highway also caved in at Kainchi Mod near Pandoh. This patch of the highway was washed away in the 2023 floods and was rebuilt recently. The Mandi-Rewalsar and Jogindernagar-Dharampur roads were also blocked due to landslides. The Aut to Jalori Jot national highway 305 was also disrupted at Nimla due to a landslide. Three vehicles parked in the area were damaged after being struck by boulders.

Monsoon sparks mood-driven dating among Gen Z
Pic istock For India's Gen Z, monsoon is more than just rain—it's shaping how young people connect online. Data from a leading dating app suggests that mentions of 'rain' in user bios rose by over 12% between January and June this year, while 'chai' saw a 19% spike, highlighting how the season is influencing digital courtship. Experts attribute this trend to the emotional pull of the season. 'The slower pace and rhythmic rain create a sensory pause that invites reflection and meaningful presence—key ingredients for connection,' said relationship expert Dr Chandni Tugnait. Popular monsoon date ideas include long drives, old songs, and chai-pakora evenings, while the most-loved seasonal references are petrichor, rain dances, and roadside snacks. Gen Z is also using playlists, emojis, and late-night video calls to add a personal touch to online interactions, blending virtual chats with real-world plans like chai stops and scenic drives. The shift underscores how Indian dating culture is embracing low-key, mood-driven rituals over grand gestures, with monsoon emerging as a backdrop for deeper, slower connections.

Tibet Earthquakes and Floods: Two Tremors in 5 Hours, Rising River Alert Issued
Tibet was hit by two earthquakes just five hours apart on Wednesday, July 30. The first one measured 4.3 in strength and hit at 6:58 AM. The second one, measuring 4.0, struck at 11:31 AM. Both were shallow, only 10 km deep, which made the shaking stronger and increased the risk of damage and aftershocks, as per the National Center for Seismology. Tibet and Nepal lie on a major earthquake zone. This is where two big plates — the Indian and Eurasian — push against each other. This constant movement often causes earthquakes, making the region unsafe. On the same day, heavy rain made rivers rise in Tibet. The Trishuli River flowing into Nepal overflowed in areas like North Gaya and Trishuli 3B Hub. Officials gave flood alerts. Earlier in July, flash floods in the same region killed seven people. The risk remains high due to rain, quakes, and melting ice.
