Good News IPL discard Ishant Sharma creates history after knocking his maiden first-class fifty in county cricket

Ishant Sharma, the tall and lanky Indian fast bowler is having a field day at his county stint for England's Division Two County club Sussex. After his blistering spell with the ball, the 29-year-old speedster has scribed his name in history books with his maiden first-class fifty for Sussex. The pacer was in the thick of things after not getting picked up in the eleventh edition of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). The fate now seems was a blessing in disguise as the Delhi bowler is hogging the headlines for all the right reasons and that too san IPL.

Breaking Bowling leg-breaks won’t help Ravi Ashwin, England series to decide his Test future: BCCI Source

Interestingly, the source claims that the wrist-spinner duo of Chahal and Yadav can get an opportunity in the Tests as well. “We must remember that Ashwin has taken more than 300 Test wickets, but the time has come to blood Kuldeep and Chahal in Tests. Both are doing pretty well in the ODIs & T20Is. The way these young wrist spinners are bowling, picking up wickets regularly in limited over games, they may have a better opportunity (to succeed) in England too,” he told TOI.

According to the source, the upcoming England series will be a very important one for Ashwin which will decide the future of the bowler in the five-day format.

The second-generation model will retain the same physical size as the current iPhone SE, and Touch ID is expected to remain, suggesting the device will continue to have a four-inch display sandwiched between top and bottom bezels for the home button, camera, and earpiece.
the new iPhone SE will supposedly be powered by Apple's last-generation A10 Fusion chip, up to 40 percent faster than the A9 processor in the current iPhone SE.

Discussion Google Chat - News & Updates

Google has started the global roll-out of its new Chat messaging service, which is designed to replace SMS text messages on Android phones.

Chat has features such as group texts, videos, typing indicators and read receipts, which are not available when sending SMS texts.

Chat will be integrated with the default messages app on Android phones.

Chat is not a new texting app. Instead, think of it more like a new set of features inside the app already installed on most Android phones. “Chat” is the consumer-friendly name for Rich Communication Services (RCS), the new standard that’s meant to supplant SMS, and it will automatically be turned on inside Android Messages, the OS’s default app for texting.

Google's SMS replacement ready to launch
