https://ift.tt/eQRZizy Bangladesh suffered a major setback ahead of their Test series against Australia after they were dismissed for just 54 in their second innings, handing the Cricket Australia XI an innings-and-38-run victory in a three-day warm-up game on Saturday. Left-arm pacer Campbell Thompson was the chief destroyer for the hosts, finishing with 8/25 as Bangladesh's batting collapsed in just 17 overs on the third morning. Bangladesh had resumed their second innings with two wickets already down and needed to produce a strong response after conceding a 92-run first-innings lead.

Thompson, a 22-year-old South Australian who had played only one first-class match before this game, took the first five wickets to fall in the second innings after beginning the damage late on the previous day.

https://ift.tt/lhsUnWT In an interview with Galatta Plus, actor R Madhavan was asked about the successive release of films based on real-life characters such as Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, Dhurandhar (where he played Ajit Sanyal, a character modelled on National Security Advisor Ajit Doval) and now GDN . The actor replied, "I don't decide the release date of these films. I have done four big films in between but there are delays because of various reasons and it looks like I'm only doing biopics. But that's not the reason."

Madhavan is asked how he reacts to such comments and filters out these accounts to find the authentic/ relevant posts. In his reply, the actor said, "It's very easy to find out when...
