Mariska Hargitay recalls surprise gift of her mother Jayne Mansfield's piano
At a special screening of her documentary My Mom Jayne during SummerDocs series on Thursday, July 17, Mariska Hargitay shared how her husband, Peter Hermann, surprised her with a deeply personal gift last year for her 60th birthday, her late mother Jayne Mansfield 's grand piano. Hargitay explained that the moment unfolded on her first day of filming the documentary in Los Angeles. According to her, Hermann called and told her, 'There's an Uber outside. I need you to get in the car.' She recalled hesitating, but Hermann insisted, telling her to follow his instructions. She recounted that she got into the car feeling upset and gradually became anxious as the vehicle traveled down the 405 freeway, leading her to believe she was headed toward Los Angeles International Airport. When the car switched to another freeway and entered an unfamiliar area, she began to fear the worst. The actress said that thoughts raced through her mind during the ride, even joking that she had momentarily wondered if something bad was about to happen. Eventually, the car arrived at a warehouse where Hargitay found her family, documentary co-producer Trish Adlesic, and cameramen waiting. It was there that Hermann revealed Mansfield's piano, a moment captured on film for the documentary.

‘We were more ruthless': Hermann says Proteas beat Zimbabwe with the bat
Batting second, the SA team chased down their target with 16 balls to spare. Proteas batter Rubin Hermann, seen here during a domestic match, hit his first international half-century against Zimbabwe on Sunday. Picture: Dirk Kotze/Gallo Images The main difference between the two sides was that South Africa had been more destructive with the bat, according to Rubin Hermann, after the Proteas beat Zimbabwe on Sunday to qualify for this week's T20 International tri-series final in Harare. Both sides struggled to gain momentum during the powerplay overs, and both lost two early wickets in their innings. And while both teams recovered, the Proteas ultimately cruised to a seven-wicket victory with 16 balls to spare. 'One thing we identified is that the new ball is quite tough on these wickets because there is a bit of invariable bounce and pace,' said Hermann, who top-scored for the SA team with 63 runs off just 36 deliveries. 'Zim also did well to come back after losing a couple of early wickets, but I think the difference lay in that we were maybe just more ruthless in the batting department with bad balls. We were good at running twos as well.' Family support Hermann, who hit his maiden half-century in his third T20 International match, was pleased to have his family at the ground in Harare (including his wife) to watch him achieve the first milestone of his international career. 'There's a little celebration I have with my wife every time she comes to watch me play. If I score fifty I blow her a kiss with my bat,' said 28-year-old Hermann. 'It's just a little thing I do to say thanks to her because she's a big rock and foundation that I work off and a big part of my support structure, so it's always nice to pay homage to them (family) to thank them for supporting me and being there. 'My family is obviously very important. There's a lot of hard work and sacrifice that goes into this, so to give them little 'thank yous' in the heat of battle is always appreciated.' South Africa will face New Zealand in a dead rubber match on Tuesday, and the two teams will meet again in the T20 International tri-series final on Saturday.

Hermann powers South Africa to T20 win over Zimbabwe
A maiden international half-century by Rubin Hermann took South Africa to a seven-wicket win over Zimbabwe in their Twenty20 international tri-series match at Harare Sports Club on Sunday. The left-handed Hermann hit 63 off 36 balls as South Africa chased down a target of 145 with 16 balls to spare. Defeat ended Zimbabwe's hopes of playing in the final and ensured that South Africa and unbeaten New Zealand will meet in the showpiece match on Saturday. Zimbabwe were restricted to 144 for six after being sent in, despite a fourth wicket stand of 78 off 47 balls between Brian Bennett (61) and Ryan Burl (36 not out). South Africa made a shaky start to their chase, losing both their opening batsmen to fast bowler Tinotenda Maposa with only 22 runs on the board. But Hermann, 28, who made his debut in the opening match of the tournament, struck the ball confidently and dominated a third wicket stand of 106 with captain Rassie van der Dussen, who finished unbeaten on 52. Van der Dussen said there had been an improvement in all aspects of South Africa's performance. "I was really chuffed with the bowling - 144 was never enough. We lost two early wickets so there was a little bit of early pressure but Rubin came in and played beautifully," he said. South Africa were beaten by New Zealand in an earlier round robin. They meet again on Tuesday, ahead of the final. "It's like a three-match series. Hopefully we can make it 1-1 on Tuesday and take it in the final," said Van der Dussen. Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza said his team had been on the wrong end of the toss in all three of their matches, being made to bat first on a ground where it is an advantage to chase. "But that's no excuse," he said of a sub-standard batting performance. "There were a lot of dot balls. Getting bat on ball can go a long way to getting a good total."
