India Women vs England Women Live Score, 3rd T20I: India will be hoping that their middle order can finally perform well under pressure in the series-deciding third Women’s T20 International against England. With the series tied at 1-1, the final match presents an important opportunity for both teams to boost confidence ahead of the Women’s T20 World Cup starting later this month.

For India, the England tour is more than just a bilateral affair. It serves as an important rehearsal for the global tournament, allowing team management to assess combinations of conditions and player roles similar to those expected during the World Cup.

Although there have been encouraging signs from the top order, India’s batting has lacked consistency in the latter stages of the innings. Yastika Bhatia has emerged as a standout performer, scoring a half-century in the first match and another useful innings in the second match. Jemimah Rodrigues also impressed with a half-century, while Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma looked in good form while chasing the target in the last game.

However, India’s inability to finish strongly remains a matter of concern. In the opening match, despite being in a good position at the start of the innings, the team could only score 40 runs in the last five overs. The second game saw an even bigger collapse, as India faltered dramatically in the final stages of the chase after reaching a comfortable position.

As a result, the spotlight will be on experienced all-rounder Deepti Sharma and wicketkeeper-batsman Richa Ghosh. India need this pair to provide stability and pace in the middle overs. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, one of the team’s most powerful hitters, may also need to bat deeper and take the innings till the end.

Meanwhile, England have batting concerns of their own. Amy Jones’ 67 is the only half-century scored by an English batsman in the series so far. Although several players have started, no one has been able to play a match-deciding innings. With both sides looking for consistency with the bat, the final T20I promises to be a close contest with World Cup implications.

Manoj Bajpayee has revealed that he has considered quitting acting several times over the past decade, admitting that the emotional burden of playing complex characters often leaves a lasting impact on him. During a recent conversation, the actor also opened up about ageing, mortality and the sacrifices that come in the pursuit of success.

‘For about 10 years I was feeling like quitting my job’

Speaking about his relationship with acting, Manoj admitted that the thought of leaving this profession came to his mind again and again.He told Ranveer Allahabadia, “To tell you the truth, for almost 10 years now and then I feel like leaving. But sometimes a role comes, then I leave.”The actor stressed that he did not want to continue working under compulsion. “I don’t want to do acting as a compulsion that I have to take food and bread at home. I want to act. If there is a character, it will be a lot of fun to play it.”Interestingly, Bajpayee revealed that after years of playing intense, psychologically demanding roles, he is now gravitating towards lighter, commercial entertainers.He said, “Nowadays, I feel like doing commercial films… tremendous slapstick comedy, nonsense comedy. Do a little village-van pe nacho. Ghar se koi tyari karke aana hai. Just say goodbye to the family and have a good time on the set,” he said, calling it an “escape” from the kind of work he has been doing.

‘Black characters have an impact’

Bajpayee admitted that some darkness from films like Gali Guliyan, Aligarh and Bhonsle still remained within him.He said, “Sometimes I feel the darkness that I feel mentally. Sometimes I know exactly where it’s coming from. Comes from the streets, comes from Aligarh, comes from Bhonsle.”The actor said that such roles often lead to intense mood swings and emotional exhaustion, making spirituality an important foundation in his life.

‘You are heading towards your grave’

The conversation later turned philosophical as Bajpayee reflected on aging and death.He said, “Whether I look forward to it or not, I have to come to terms with the one thing that is constantly changing. Life. You are headed toward your grave, toward your funeral pyre.”The actor said that aging has become increasingly noticeable in everyday life.He shared, “All the cells in my body are aging. I feel it when I go up the stairs, I feel it when I go down the stairs.”According to Bajpayee, death is an inevitability that people should learn to accept rather than fear.“That you have to go. That has to go. What is there to think about that? You must know it and try to adjust to it.”

Looking back at the cost of success

Bajpayee also reflected on the sacrifices he made while pursuing his ambitions, particularly the time he spent with his parents.When asked if the struggle was worth it, he said, “Materially, yes,” he said, “but I lost a lot of things.”The actor recalled spending most of his life away from home – first in boarding school, then in Delhi and later in Mumbai, which created distance between him and his parents.He said, “Sometimes I feel, man, I wish I could have had some more time with my dad. We could have understood each other better. Yes, with my mother we could have sorted out our personal issues.”Although he acknowledged that success gave him the freedom to choose his work, he admitted that not every sacrifice seemed worthwhile in hindsight.Bajpayee said, “After materialistic fulfillment, when you look back, it seems that everything was not worth it.”

Lottiergod reportedly granted restraining order after civil court hearing

Although the court granted a restraining order, important details about it remain unknown.

The fact that Lottiergod and the woman share a child was mentioned only as part of the background to the case.During the hearing, the judge reportedly made comments about some of Lottiergaud’s previous public statements regarding his daughter. However, despite those comments, the judge still found enough evidence to grant a protective order.LottierGod has been a well-known figure in the fighting game community for many years. He is known for playing Street Fighter, sharing strong opinions online, and being involved in many viral moments. Over the years, he has also worked with a large group of online critics who regularly follow, clip, and discuss his content.The court hearing attracted online attention because civil court records are often available to the public. In many places, hearings are live streamed or uploaded online, making it easy for viewers to know about the proceedings immediately after them.At present, many issues still require clarification as the case records have not yet been properly examined. However, based on the information available so far, all that can be said about the case is that Lottiergod has won a restraining order against the mother of his child.

MUMBAI: Cans or glass bottles, beer or cold beverages – companies are losing their cool over rising costs rather than keeping their spirits up amid El Nino-induced harsh weather this summer, leading to higher demand. The war has affected companies on two fronts – first, soft drink makers like Coca-Cola that use aluminum cans (for Diet Coke and 300 ml cans are sold more in India) are facing supply disruptions as the bulk of imports of such cans come from West Asia. Even packaged coffee companies, some of which sell smaller 230 ml cans, have the same problem. For example, D2C coffee brand Sleepy Owl is tapping Southeast Asian markets for aluminum cans, but costs have increased by about 15% so far. Moreover, in view of the high demand, procurement of supplies is also taking time. CEO Ajay Thandi said, “Going forward, there will be no option but to pass this increase on to consumers. While the cost of glass bottles is lower for us, logistics is an issue.” He said cans constitute 25-30% of the company’s portfolio.As far as beer makers are concerned, the cost of both aluminum cans and glass bottles has increased, despite nearly 80% of the industry’s supplies being locally sourced. This is because the war affected production at the ground level just as the industry built up inventory, creating a backlog that has yet to be reduced. Vinod Giri, director general of the Brewers Association of India, said manufacturing operations were hit after the LPG shortage – can suppliers have increased prices by 15%, while the cost of glass bottles has increased by 20%. “We have no problem with the supply of cans because we have a global network…we There is an inflation issue, there is a cost issue,” Vivek Gupta, MD and CEO of United Breweries, which makes Heineken and Kingfisher beers, said in a recent earnings call.Some old stocks of 300 ml Diet Coke cans priced at Rs 40 are still available in the market, but distributors expect the new stock to be priced at Rs 10 or more, said Dhairyasheel Patil, president, All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation (AICPDF). Queries sent to Coca-Cola and PepsiCo India did not elicit any response.

SRINAGAR: The Airport Authority of India plans to suspend operations at the Srinagar airport for 16 days in October for runway maintenance and other repairs, raising concerns among tour operators who fear the shutdown will deal a blow to the industry, which is still reeling from the Pahalgam attack during last year’s Durga Puja holiday season, when large numbers of Bengali tourists visit Jammu and Kashmir.The Air Force, which operates the airfield, has proposed a phased maintenance program between July 1 and September 30, when services will be closed every Monday and Tuesday, culminating in a complete shutdown from October 1-16, an AAI official said. The official said an advisory was issued on the instructions of the Civil Aviation Ministry.The Kashmir Valley traditionally sees a huge influx of tourists from Bengal during October, when most schools and colleges remain closed during the Durga Puja festival.Travel operators and industry stakeholders fear that the shutdown will lead to mass cancellations and huge financial losses to the economy that is still recovering from the impact of Pahalgam. Stakeholders expressed concerns over the timing and appealed to the government and AAI to reconsider the programme.Hotelier Asif Burja said that upgrading the airport is important, but the facility should not be closed completely. “Efforts should be made to minimize the inconvenience,” Burja, who owns properties at tourist destinations in the Valley, told PTI.He said the frequency of flights should be increased to compensate for the losses. He also demanded higher frequency for the newly launched trains.Farooq Kuthu, president of the Travel Agents Association of Kashmir, said tourists are wary of the disruption and cancellations are already happening. “We are already receiving such queries,” he told PTI. We appeal to the government to review it seriously.” His union termed the move as ‘unfortunate’ and ‘inappropriate’.Nasir Shah, president of the Jammu and Kashmir chapter of the Indian Association of Tour Operators, said that if upgrading of the airport runway was necessary, the runway of Awantipora airport, located about an hour’s drive from Srinagar, should be put into service as an alternative.Hospitality and travel stakeholders said cutting air connectivity during the busy domestic tourism block could devastate the local economy.However, Srinagar airport officials said the program is still in the planning stage. “As soon as the schedule is formally approved, detailed updates will be shared through official channels,” according to a post on the airport’s X handle.The last such maintenance exercise was conducted in 2011.
