Former English captain takes a dig on Pakistan team for their poor performance against England
Former England captain Michael Vaughan added another subtle dig to a list of his numerous statements. Vaughan, this time, made a remark on the unpredictability of the Pakistan cricket team. His comment came after the national team failed to put up a decent performance against England during the first ODI in Cardiff.
Ahead of the start of the series, experts expressed confidence in Pakistan as England was forced to revamp its side following the rise in COVID-19 cases in the camp. However, the visitors failed to assert any control from the start. A slide in their top-order batting did not go down well with Vaughan. Taking a light-hearted dig, the former England skipper wrote on Twitter, “Love watching Pakistan play cricket. A team that can beat any team in the world on any given day but also lose to any team on any given day.”
Pakistan were given the upper hand before the start of the three-match series on Thursday as England were basically fielding their ‘C’ team courtesy the Covid-19 outbreak.
The volatility of the Pakistan cricket came to the fore when they collapsed to 26 for 4 in just the seventh over. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in their squad, England had to name a completely new 18-man side overnight going into the series. Despite being pitted against a second-string side, Pakistan’s superstars could not live up to their tags. England handed ODI debuts to Brydon Carse, Zak Crawley, Lewis Gregory, Phil Salt and John Simpson to play their first ODI against Pakistan.
Barring opener Fakhar Zaman (47 off 67) and all-rounder Shadab Khan (30 off 43), none of the other batsmen managed to put pressure on the England bowlers. The English side dominated the proceedings throughout their innings. Pakistan lost the toss and were asked to bat first. They were bundled out for 141. England won by 9 wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the series. Led by Ben Stokes, the hosts would be hoping to carry the momentum in the remainder of the series.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
