Ind vs Eng: Rain plays spoilsport again as fifth day's start delayed
Nottingham, Aug 8: Heavy rain and thick cloud cover delayed the start of the first session on the fifth day of the opening Test match with India needing 157 runs more and hosts England in search of nine wickets.
Chasing a victory target of 209, India finished the fourth day on 52 for 1 after England, riding on skipper Joe Root's 21st Test hundred, scored 303 in their second innings.
This was after India got a 95-run first innings lead in reply to hosts' total of 183.
It remains to be seen how much overs can be sneaked in the remaining two sessions in case play is not possible till lunch.

Bengaluru (PTI): Bengaluru City Police (BCP) on Monday said that it has, in collaboration with cab aggregator platforms Uber and Ola, implemented a technology-driven integration aimed at enhancing the safety of riders and drivers.

Through this integration, riders and drivers seeking emergency assistance can directly share real-time location data, trip details, and contact information with Bangalore City Police's 112 emergency response infrastructure from within the Uber/Ola app itself, an official release said.
Noting that this seamless flow of critical information enables quicker police access during emergencies, facilitating faster response times and potentially life-saving interventions by first responders, it said the initiative is a significant step towards leveraging technology partnerships to ensure safer urban mobility and improved public safety.
