Ali Usman becomes first visiting left-arm spinner in 16 years to take five-wicket haul in England

Pakistan's left-arm spinner Ali Usman delivered a standout performance in the Test match in England, claiming a five-wicket haul with figures of 5/95 from 24 overs. It marked his first five-wicket haul on English soil and made him the first visiting left-arm spinner to achieve the feat in an English Test innings since Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan in 2010. Usman also etched his name in the record books at Leeds, becoming the first visiting spinner to take a five-wicket haul at the venue since Australia's Ashley Mallett claimed 5/114 back in 1972. His historic spell played a key role in Pakistan's bowling effort during the match.

Ohio nuclear plant on Lake Erie doubles as sanctuary for endangered spotted turtles

Ohio has lost much of its wetland ecosystems over the past two centuries, severely reducing natural wildlife habitats. However, protected land surrounding a 1,256MW nuclear power plant on Lake Erie has become a vital refuge for endangered spotted turtles. These turtles depend on shallow, vegetation-rich waters to survive, conditions that the preserved area around the plant provides. The plant's continued operation helps sustain multiple generations of the species. The situation highlights how industrial sites can unexpectedly support biodiversity amid widespread habitat loss.

Smriti Irani Criticises Rahul Gandhi's Dharna at Delhi Police Station

BJP leader Smriti Irani criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for staging a dharna at a Delhi police station in support of protester Sahil Lochab.

Irani dismissed Gandhi's gesture as a publicity stunt, likening it to tossing toffees rather than meaningful political action. The protest drew attention to a broader dispute over whether police would register the requested complaint. Irani made her remarks in an interview with NDTV.
