Eng V Ind: England Cry Foul After Win, WTC Points Drama | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G Eng V Ind: England Cry Foul After Win, WTC Points Drama | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G England have taken the lead in the Test series against India, heading to Manchester 2-1 up — but that hasn't stopped the complaints. The latest? ICC docked England two vital WTC points for a slow over rate at Lord's, pushing them down in the Test Championship standings. But why is only England crying foul when both teams were equally Fiery? Michael Vaughan leads the outrage, once again questioning the ICC's decisions, especially when it involves India. In this breakdown, Rupha Ramani dives deep into why these points matter more than ever in a long WTC cycle, the irony in England's complaints, and the drama that unfolded at Lord's — including fines, send-offs, glares, and chirps.

Readers respond to essays about perimenopause, homelessness, and more
Hauser absolutely nailed it. As a 46-year-old who is recovering from an evening of bouncing and headbanging (ish) at Primus/Perfect Circle last night, she's hit on all the highlights. Keep saying it out loud. My mother, and her mother, both suffered in silence through peri/menopause. I'm not gonna. My angst and I are going to get things done. And maybe nap.

As someone who loves words, this Connections ( Barbara Harting, Framingham I continue to feel inspired by the work that medical professionals do across the country. The public is largely unaware of the emotional and physical toll health care workers are under. The challenges for poor and marginalized communities are magnified with the social problems that they face. As a Latino man, I see health issues affect my community deeply. I'm the co-creator of a national program called Advertisement Hugo Hernandez, Co-creator, Where Does It Hurt? Model Leadership I was quite impressed with Don Gillis' great Perspective ( David Gleason, Mashpee I look forward to reading Gillis' new book. I assume he also addresses Flynn's evolution during the busing crisis to his becoming a politician with a broader concern for the entire city. Flynn's bridge to Marty Walsh and Michelle Wu was, of course, Tom Menino, who continued an inclusive, citywide agenda with a nuts and bolts approach. Indeed, Boston mayors from Kevin White to Wu have shown they will advocate for their city at the federal level even as it continues to grapple with the longstanding issues of race and class differences at home. Trump has accentuated the conflict and chaos with these differences and Flynn's legacy has positioned the city to do the right thing in the face of this chaos. Advertisement Philip S.

He truly has done an amazing job, all rooted in his collaborative, methodical, and accountable approach. My son takes the Red Line every day to Kendall Square and says the difference is tangible and appreciated. More stories like this might lead to a better impact on the whole state. Mark Bresnahan, Plymouth Although I live in New Hampshire, I was born and raised in Boston and have good memories of the T. I recently heard a bit of an interview with Mr. Eng on NPR and was impressed at how he actually answered questions in a smart, approachable way. I think we are missing that in public figures these days, and this was a reminder of what good people can do. Advertisement Sandy Wadlington, Bradford, New Hampshire I thoroughly enjoyed Wen's article that delved into Eng and the road that brought him to Boston. It was detailed, factual, and showed his personal side, as well. So far so good for this success story! Pat Kavanagh, Nahant Phil Eng has had an extraordinary impact on MBTA operations across the entire system, the morale of staff, and the satisfaction of users — all in two years. This story of a man with deep expertise and vast experience, team management skills, and political grit is more than a turnaround story and more than a human interest story: It is a story of public sector leadership at its very best. Mr. Eng stands in sharp contrast to the adjacent Globe Magazine article with the subhead 'The president wants to take down our institutions, our economy, and our ideals.'

Lucy Bronze puts England's Euros run in perspective - 'That's insane to think of right now'
England can march into the semi-finals of Euro 2025 with a victory over Sweden on Thursday and long-serving defender Lucy Bronze recognises how far the national side has come Lucy Bronze has been quick to remind England's younger players how far the Lionesses have come in just 10 years as they bid to make another major tournament semi-final. England are many people's favourites for Thursday's meeting with Sweden, but it's not that long ago that they went into big knockout games as clear underdogs. This time around, England's younger stars have joined a squad fresh off the back of a Euros win in 2022 and a World Cup final the following year. And part of the 'Proper England' message being spread through the squad is about reminding the newcomers about that journey. 'We've never negated tactics or anything else that comes with the game with the term 'proper England',' Bronze, 33 said. 'It was more the fact that we've said, again, we're a new England, a new team. 'What was meant by that was we had a lot of younger players and new players who have very different experiences of playing for England compared to the likes of myself, where we know that England used to have to dig deep all the time. 2015 was the first time we beat Germany. That's insane to think of right now. 'But England in the past it was, you have to dig out performances and you are maybe the underdog, you're not the favourite. Whereas this England team has developed, football has changed. 'Obviously we're a very talented team, a lot of technical ability, tactics, all that comes in the game, but we don't want to ever forget that we are England, we are proper England and if push comes to shove we can win a game by any means possible.' The 'Proper Eng;and' conversation was highlighted by Bronze's team-mate Georgia Stanway after the 2-1 defeat to France. The response has been decisive, with big wins over the Netherlands and Wales, and Bronze has pointed to her and her team-mates' ability to block out the noise around their slow start. "We never made ourselves the centre of attention - I think that's a lot of the noise from the outside," she said. "Coming off the back of the French game and having that talking point brought the team closer together, I think you saw that with the two performances that came from that. "We're not too focused on noises around other teams or ourselves. We're only focused on what we do on the training pitch, what we do in games, how we recover, how we perform and how we lift each other up."

That's how he's built – Joe Root hails unstoppable Ben Stokes after Lord's feats
Stokes turned in an iron-man performance to help his side go 2-1 up against India at the home of cricket, scoring 77 runs in two hard-fought innings, taking five wickets and producing a match-changing run-out of Rishabh Pant. Most remarkable of all was the workload he pushed his body through, sending down 44 overs in all, including muscle-busting spells of 9.2 and 10 overs on the decisive final day. 77 runs with the bat 🏏44-8-111-5 with the ball 🔴Player of the Match 🏅 Shift. — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 14, 2025 Now 34, that is the most he has bowled in over six years and comes after two severe hamstring blowouts in the past 12 months. Root watched on in awe, remembering his own attempts to stop Stokes pushing himself past the limit during his own captaincy. 'You can try, but it doesn't make any difference. I tried for five years,' he said as both sides embraced some down time before next week's fourth Test at Emirates Old Trafford. 'I mentioned it, but he doesn't always listen to me. He didn't listen to me when I was captain! 'That's his call now. It was an incredible effort to be able to do that, but that's just how he's built, I guess. He's just desperate to be the man and make things happen. 'It's a great sign for us moving forward, it really is, because that's back to his best. He's got that mentality and that desire to win games and we're lucky to have him as our leader.' At one stage in the first innings, head coach Brendon McCullum sent a message via bowling consultant Tim Southee instructing his skipper to take a breather. Root admits he was also concerned that Stokes might hit breaking point but now accepts that there is only one man who truly knows how far he can go. 'I was just panicking that he wasn't going to make it through the game after a couple of bad injuries, but he clearly trusts his body now,' said Root. 'He knows what he's doing and he's got a good handle on where he's at physically.' Root, meanwhile, has returned to the top of the Test batting rankings a week after losing the crown to team-mate Harry Brook. Root made 104 and 40 at Lord's, while Brook scored a total 34 and drops to third below New Zealand's Kane Williamson. Despite delivering another classic Test finish, in front of a fifth consecutive sell-out crowd, England woke on Wednesday to find they had once again been penalised for slow over-rates. 1st Test, Headingley: Eng won by 5 wkts 2nd Test, Edgbaston: Ind won by 336 runs 3rd Test, Lord's: Eng won by 22 runs 4th Test, Old Trafford: Jul 23-27 5th Test, Oval: Jul 31-Aug 4 They have been docked two of the 12 points they earned for the win, as well as losing 10 per cent of their match fees. England lost 22 points in total during the 2023-25 World Test Championship cycle, the most of any nation, and have now become the first to be docked in the new edition. The England and Wales Cricket Board has unsuccessfully lobbied the International Cricket Council for changes to its assessments, while Stokes has previously stated that he refuses to sign the over-rate sheets in protest. The ECB feels the high percentage of overs bowled by seamers, as opposed to spinners, adversely affects England and is understood to be frustrated by the latest penalty. Shoaib Bashir's broken finger meant he was off the field for long periods, denying them an option to hurry through some overs quicker.
