Aug 6 (Reuters) - Nicholas Pooran's 67 off 40 balls helped the West Indies clinch a two-wicket victory over India in the second Twenty20 international in Providence on Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. India, who opted to bat, had Tilak Varma's 51 to thank for taking them past the 150 mark, with captain Hardik Pandya (24) and opener Ishan Kishan (27) also contributing to the total. Three bowlers were instrumental in restricting India to an inadequate 152-7, with Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph and Romario Shepherd taking two wickets apiece. West Indies fumbled early in their innings, but Pooran anchored their chase with a big-hitting knock before being dismissed by Mukesh Kumar. I felt like it was a decent wicket and we are accustomed to get such wickets here.

The problem persisted in the subsequent home series against New Zealand but Arshdeep was back in his element against Mumbai. It helped me with the no-ball problem," he said after claiming 4-29 in the high-scoring heart-stopping match. But Cameron Green (67) and Rohit Sharma (44) led a robust reply from Mumbai and then Suryakumar Yadav smashed 57 off 26 balls. Arshdeep was even more impressive, conceding just two runs and breaking the middle stumps of Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera in successive deliveries. "I guess Danny you should come next to me and feel the heart beat - it's not even close to 120," a beaming Arshdeep said.

Adani argued the plants were "unviable" at the trucking rates it wanted to slash by around half. Truckers rejoiced, with a union leader in a street address labelling it as a victory after late-night talks with Adani. After the Hindenburg report, Congress has renewed its claims that Modi for years has unduly favoured Adani. The Adani group wanted freight rates to be lowered to around 6 rupees ($0.0725) per tonne per km, from around 11 rupees. "The Hindenburg report was a gift that saved our businesses."

India, unde 87 de milioane de doze de vaccin anti-COVID-19 au fost administrate până în prezent la o populaţie de 1,3 miliarde de locuitori, se confruntă cu o lipsă de seruri împotriva noului coronavirus, într-un moment în care numărul infecţiilor atinge un nou record zilnic, informează AFP.Peste 126.000 de cazuri noi au fost înregistrate în ultimele 24 de ore, determinând mai multe regiuni să înăsprească restricţiile de activitate, în timp ce Maharashtra, epicentrul actual al noului val al epidemiei, cu capitala la Mumbai, urmează să intre în lockdown în acest weekend, scrie agerpres.ro Prim-ministrul Narendra Modi, care a primit joi doza de rapel, a scris pe Twitter că vaccinurile sunt "printre puţinele moduri de a învinge virusul" şi a îndemnat oamenii să-i urmeze exemplul.Potrivit The Times of India, zece state au stocuri de doar trei-patru zile, inclusiv Uttar Pradesh, cu o populaţie de aproximativ 200 de milioane de persoane, dar şi Bihar şi Bengalul de Vest.În Maharashtra, ministrul sănătăţii la nivel regional a avertizat miercuri că stocurile vor fi epuizate în trei zile dacă nu vor fi completate. "Trebuie să le spunem oamenilor că, din moment ce vaccinurile nu au sosit, trebuie să plece acasă", a declarat Rajesh Tope reporterilor.Principalele centre de imunizare din Mumbai au rămas fără doze joi, iar imensul spital general municipal Lokmanya Tilak a oprit complet imunizările.Cu toate acestea, ministrul sănătăţii la nivel federal, Harsh Vardhan, a afirmat miercuri seara că acuzaţiile privind o penurie de vaccinuri în Maharashtra sunt "complet nefondate" şi că numeroase state încearcă să "distragă atenţia de la eşecurile lor". "Aprovizionarea cu vaccinuri este monitorizată în timp real, iar guvernele statelor sunt informate în mod regulat", a adăugat el.Potrivit lui Ajay Ghai, un înalt funcţionar în domeniul sănătăţii din Uttar Pradesh, "furnizarea de vaccinuri se face în mod continuu, la fel ca reaprovizionarea".India a înregistrat până în prezent 13 milioane de cazuri de COVID-19 şi 170.000 de decese asociate acestei boli, deşi rata de infectare pe cap de locuitor în a doua ţară cu cea mai mare populaţie din lume rămâne scăzută prin comparaţie cu cea din alte ţări.
