Stokes didnt need to bowl Brook and look silly in the end: Nasser Hussain
Manchester, Jul 27 (PTI) Former England captain Nasser Hussain termed Ben Stokes' decision to bring Harry Brook into the attack after India declined his offer to end the fourth Test early as 'silly", stating that Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar fully deserved their centuries. Jadeja and Washington were batting on 89 and 80 respectively before the start of the last hour of play when England skipper Ben Stokes, aware that a result was out of reach, offered to shake hands. However, with milestones around the corner, the Indian batters refused, which didn't amuse Stokes, who then introduced Brook into the attack to bowl some deliberate full-tosses, allowing both to complete their well-deserved tons. 'I didn't have a problem with it. England seemed to have a problem with it. They were a bit tired, tired bowlers so they wanted to get off but two lads worked hard to get to 80s and 90s and they wanted to get Test match hundreds," Hussain said on 'Sky Sports'. 'Stokes didn't have to bowl Brook and look silly at the end. We make far too much of these things. They played well and all credit to India," Hussain said. When Cheteshwar Pujara asked the same question to Washington Sundar, he sidestepped the issue. 'I think everyone saw on TV what happened and they all must have enjoyed it," Washington said on JioHotstar. Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar felt that Indian batters were well within their rights to continue unless there was an agreement prior that match will be called off before start of last hour of play. 'I think Ben Stokes in the end behaved like a spoilt kid," Manjrekar said on 'JioHotstar'. 'I would like to see what England would have done if two of their batsmen were nearing Test hundreds?"

Busan to host 2026 UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting
48th session of annual UNESCO meeting on world heritage to be held in southern port city next July Busan won the bid to host the 48th UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting, the Korea Heritage Service said early Wednesday, marking South Korea's first time as host since the meeting was established in 1977. The annual meeting is the largest annual international event on the cultural heritage calendar and will take place in July 2026. The announcement was made during the 47th committee meeting in Paris on Tuesday. Busan was the sole bidder for next year's meeting. The Korea Herald has learned that Vietnam initially intended to enter a bid but later withdrew its decision to participate. "The host country is typically chosen on a rotational basis by continent so that each region gets a fair chance, and next year was expected to be Asia's turn. Since Japan and China have already hosted the event, and South Korea serves as a member of the committee, we actively expressed our desire to do so. Vietnam -- which could have been a competitor -- didn't expect to win, so it chose not to bid," a senior official at the KHS told The Korea Herald. South Korea was elected to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in November 2023 for a four-year term through 2027, marking the country's fourth such election. The KHS explained that convening a meeting of the 21-member World Heritage Committee where global strategies for artifact management are discussed would elevate Korea's international standing. The event is also expected to bring together government representatives who decide which sites to add to the World Heritage List and how to protect those enlisted. About 3,000 people are expected to attend the two-week event, according to the KHS. Previously, the meeting has been held in several Asian countries, including Cambodia's Phnom Penh and Siem Reap in 2013, China's Suzhou in 2004, Japan's Kyoto in 1998 and Thailand's Phuket in 1994.

Also read: Isipingo Hills dance graduate embraces her culture Publicist Sophie Thompson said that out of the 10 participating teams, only two teams that previously hoisted the trophy have made it, the host school St Mary's DSG, which won the tile six times, and Pietermaritzburg's St Anne's College, which won the trophy in its inaugural year in 2011. Representing Amanzimtoti and the greater Durban South area, KHS are looking to shake up the hockey challenge and make a Cinderella-run towards a grand final victory.

Goryeo, Joseon relics return home
Buddhist scripture, painting repatriated from Japan A Buddhist scripture from the Goryeo Kingdom (918-1392) and a rare Buddhist painting created during the early Joseon era (1392-1910) have made their way back home from Japan, the Korea Heritage Service and the Overseas Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation said Tuesday. "The repatriation of these cultural artifacts is particularly meaningful as we are showing it to the public for the first time just a month before the 80th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule," Cho Eung-chon, who heads the KHS, told reporters during a press briefing at the National Palace Museum of Korea. Korea was liberated from 35 years of Japanese colonial rule on Aug. 15, 1945. Unveiled Tuesday was a transcription of the Zhou version of the Vatamsaka Sutra, also known as the Flower Garland Sutra, Vol. 22, which was written by hand using a special ink made from gold powder mixed with glue, on indigo paper. The handwritten Buddhist scripture is a copy of the Avatamsaka Sutra, one of the most essential texts in Hwaeom Buddhism, a major school of thought in East Asian Buddhism. It was repatriated from Japan in April. This manuscript contains a written prayer stating that Jeongdokmandara, a Korean from the Goryeo Kingdom who traveled to Yuan Dynasty China during King Chungryeol's reign and became a eunuch there, completed the transcription of 81 volumes of the Avatamsaka Sutra in 1334. He undertook this work to express his deep gratitude to his parents and the emperor for their kindness. When fully unrolled, it measures 10.9 meters in length and features a cover adorned with five lotus flowers painted in gold and silver, surrounded by an intricate vine pattern. Another repatriated artifact shown Tuesday was a set of paintings on silk depicting the Ten Underworld Kings created during the early Joseon era. It returned to Korea in November last year. The paintings portray the 10 kings of the underworld who pass judgment on the sins committed by the deceased in their lifetime. The set consists of 10 hanging scrolls, each depicting one of the 10 kings and a scene of hell, with a clear contrast between divine authority and suffering. The artifacts are being temporarily stored at the National Palace Museum of Korea to assess their condition and to determine their preservation needs. The agency added that it would also consider hosting various public events, such as an exhibition, to showcase the artifacts to the public.

KHS enhances inspection technology with AI for tethered cap compliance
KHS, a German turnkey systems provider, has integrated AI into its Innocheck TSI closure inspection unit for tethered cap compliance. Since 2024, tethered caps have been mandatory for all nonreturnable polyethylene terephthalate bottles in the EU, which has led to an increase in the variety of closure designs and the demand on inspection technology. The Dortmund-based company noted that the introduction of tethered caps has required bottle and beverage producers in the EU to adapt to ensure product quality and protection. The growing number of bottle and cap design variants, combined with increasing line capacities, has further complicated inspection processes. KHS added that its AI-based fault detection system for tethered caps uses patent-pending algorithms to analyse high-resolution images of bottle closures in real time. Cameras capture detailed visuals, which AI models evaluate, employing deep learning to adapt to new types of defects. This system enhances both the accuracy and efficiency of inspections. Designed specifically for the Innocheck TSI cap inspector, the AI module is compatible with both new and existing machines. KHS plans to extend AI applications to additional inspection technology equipment in the future. KHS labelling and inspection technology product support executive Nikita Wall said: 'Tethered caps were rarely used before the EU directive came into force. Conventional systems thus frequently reach the limits of their capacity where cap inspection is concerned.' 'Our customers make extremely high demands of quality assurance. In intensive field tests, our AI-based fault detector has proved that it fully meets these requirements. 'In the development team, we're currently discussing which systems this would make sense for. AI solutions are only practical where the requirements are complex -and if they give our customers clear benefits.'
