India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd ODI, Mohali: Live Score, Live Streaming, Cricket Updates

11:54 (IST) FOUR! Cracking stroke! Length and outside off Dhawan slams it through cover-point. The fielders had no chance whatsoever. Full Scorecard 17:58 (IST) So that s all that we have for the moment. Not a happy day for India. They will have to as Shakira famously sang pick themselves up dust themselves up and be back on the saddle. But that won t be one bit easy. This defeat means that India would not be able to overtake South Africa at the top of the ODI rankings even if they win the series. Next stop will be Mohali in three days time and it will be an 11.30 start there too. Catch you then. Till then good bye. Full Scorecard Chris Gayle has not been firing on all cylinders in the recent past as per his lofty standards. The big Jamaican had a best of 51 in his last eight innings in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2017. However the cricketing fraternity already knows a Gaylestorm can hit anytime anywhere without any warning and that is exactly what happened on Friday in Dhaka...

World Trade Organization Losing Trade Focus, Too Easy On Some Developing Nations: United States

Buenos Aires: U.S. President Donald Trump s trade chief said on Monday that the World Trade Organization (WTO) is losing its focus on trade negotiations in favor of litigation and was going too easy on wealthier developing countries such as China.With Trump s America First trade agenda casting a cloud over the WTO s 11th ministerial meeting in Buenos Aires representatives of other major members criticized protectionism and advocated a stronger multilateral trading system while acknowledging the WTO s shortcomings.U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer who has said he does not want major agreements out of the meeting voiced concern that the WTO was becoming a litigation-centered organization. Too often members seem to believe they can gain concessions through lawsuits that they could never get at the negotiating table he said.

India vs Sri Lanka: Washington Sundar says he has game to play for national side

Mohali: All of 18 Washington Sundar says an unflinching belief in his game has helped him break into the Indian team. Not so long ago Sundar flunked the Yo-Yo test which has to be cleared to make the national team but he worked hard on his fitness to convince the selectors. For any cricketer playing for India is the ultimate dream. As an 18-year-old I have got the opportunity to play for India and it is a great feeling. I trust a lot in my preparation and it has paid off. India s Washington Sundar during a practice session on the eve of the second ODI match against Sri Lanka.

It has been my fourth day to be precise but I do not feel that I just became part of the team....
