Strac claims fastest five-fer in Test history

The total of 27 is just one more run than the lowest Test total ever, when England bowled New Zealand out for 26 in 1955.

Fifteen balls taken by Starc to get his five-fer makes it the quickest in the history of Tests, beating the previous quickest of 19 balls each by Ernie Toshack against India in Brisbane in 1947, Stuart Broad against Australia in Trent Bridge in 2015, and Scott Boland against England at the MCG in 2021.

Protesters march towards Indian mission in Dhaka

India's tit-for-tat move in summoning the Bangladesh envoy, days after Dhaka called in India's representative, underscores worsening ties between the neighbours. Relations have frayed since Sheikh Hasina's ouster, marked by anti-India protests, security concerns around the Indian mission in Dhaka, sharp exchanges over elections and Dhaka's pushback against New Delhi's concerns.
