Australia vs South Africa LIVE-Streaming: When and where to watch WTC Final?
Australia and South Africa are all set to clash for the title of World Test Chamionship at the Lord's Cricket Ground in London from today. The five day match will see the two of the most consistent teams in world cricket giving it their best in order to steal the biggest accolade in Test matches. While Australia are the defending champions having defeated India during the last WTC Final in 2023. South Africa led by Temba Bavuma will be playing their first WTC Final and would be desperate to not have a repeat of the heartbreak they faced after a loss in the T20 World Cup final last year. On paper both teams look solid with South Africa probably having a better pace attack for the seaming conditions in England. However, it would be a mistake to take the quad pairing of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Scott Bolland lightly. The iconic pitch at the Lord's will help the pacers in the beginning, however, it is expected to be on the drier side as the game progresses and therefore will assist the spinners. If the batters manage to put runs on the board in the initial overs without losing wickets, then the pitch will be favourable for them to register a good total. According to AccuWeather, the temperature in London will hover around 20 degrees Celsius at the beginning of the game and will increase to 23 degrees Celsius by the end. The sky is expected to be partly sunny throughout the match duration and there is a negligible chance of rain. The Australia vs South Africa WTC Final will be played from 3:00PM (India Time) and 10:30AM local time with the toss scheduled to be held half an hour earlier at 2:30PM IST. The match will be broadcast live on the Star Sports network in India. Meanwhile, online viewers can also catch the clash by heading over to the JioHotstar app.

Weather still a factor: Last call on Shubhanshu Shukla's Axiom-4 launch early today
CAPE CANAVERAL (FLORIDA): The rescheduled launch of Shubhanshu Shukla-piloted Axiom-4 mission remained unchanged at 5.30pm IST on Wednesday after a 'weather call' taken at Kennedy Space Centre on Tuesday (8pm IST). However, the weather continues to be a key variable as the stakeholders will take a final call after the 'L-8 hour weather briefing ', scheduled around midnight in US (around 10am IST). At the mission readiness review briefing, Jimmy Taeger, launch weather officer with 45th Weather Squadron of US Space Force, said conditions across central Florida is being shaped by a high-pressure system to the southeast. The system is expected to move north in the coming days, which could shift the winds and bring in scattered showers. While wind conditions are projected to improve mid-week, forecasters are keeping a close eye on the risk of passing showers, especially as launch windows approach. "Though winds are likely to improve, Wednesday looks better, and Thursday even better. The one thing we are going to be watching closely is the possibility of showers moving into the area," Taeger said. Liquid oxygen leak detected during fire test on Falcon-9 William Gerstenmaier, SpaceX vice-president, build and flight reliability, stressed on the company's continued focus on safety and precision, noting that "space flight is really hard, and we're learning every day". During a static fire test of the Falcon-9, SpaceX engineers discovered a liquid oxygen leak that had initially gone undetected during the booster's post-flight refurbishment. "We discovered that we had not fully repaired the booster ... we're installing a purge that will essentially mitigate the leak if it continues," he said. In addition, a thrust vector control issue with engine five was also identified. The affected components have since been replaced.
