Batter hits first international century in one-sided winWill Jacks takes last wicket and named player of seriesA dysfunctional summer ended on a brighter note for England as Tom Banton’s eye-catching maiden international century and some masterful finishing from Jordan Cox propelled them to a one-sided victory against Sri Lanka in this one-day international decider.The neurosis had chiefly centred around the Test team, in fairness, with Harry Brook’s white-ball sides on something of an upward trajectory in 2026. Hence Brendon McCullum was relieved of only half of his duties as head coach in July. Continue reading...

Ukrainian forces airdrop supplies to city where bodies are left to be eaten by dogs because of deadly risk from dronesThe phone message sent out of Russian-occupied Oleshky was grimly matter-of-fact: food had finally run out for the 2,000 or so civilians, including 50 children, remaining in the city and its surrounding villages.“We’re in Oleshky [and] we can’t get out.

Athens is now a food capital where you can enjoy bustling bars, traditional taverna fare or unearth a new-wave gem in its many restaurants – but it wasn’t always this waySee our recommendations for eating and drinking around AthensVisiting Athens for its food might have sounded like a joke to previous generations. Unlike many other Mediterranean countries, including Italy, Spain and Turkey, Greece had no renaissance and no aristocracy to fund chefs and develop sophisticated cuisines. Simple village dishes didn’t always translate well: in the past, tourists would suffer a summer scorching and some desiccated moussaka so they could puff up the Acropolis in August before skedaddling to an island.

Florence Pugh shines as the icy sociopath at the heart of the Steinbeck classic, plus Catherine Zeta-Jones plays an international cocaine dealer in a truly bananas thriller“A girl like that doesn’t just fall out of the sky.” Charles Trask has a bad feeling about Cathy Ames, the woman who has arrived, beaten almost to death, on the doorstep of the farm he shares with his brother Adam. But it’s too late – Adam is smitten and therefore doomed. Zoe Kazan is behind this adaptation of John Steinbeck’s study of family, free will and arbitrary evil.

The script doesn’t always do the ideas justice but there’s still plenty to like. Netflix, from Thursday 1 October Continue reading...
