An Indian-origin man, Sayak Mukhopadhyay, disrupted the US Open tennis match between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova for 50 minutes by gluing his feet to the court in a dramatic climate change protest. Mukhopadhyay was with the group Extinction Rebellion NYC. He stood up shouting slogans before sticking his feet down. He was arrested for trespassing but said it conveyed the message directly. Gauff said she couldn't get too mad since it was peaceful. Mukhopadhyay felt public disruptions are effective communication. He was safely freed by police emergency personnel and charged. The high-profile stunt aimed to spur climate action through public arenas.

The India vs Pakistan Asia Cup Super 4 match is set to resume on the reserve day after rain interrupted play on Sunday in Colombo. India were 147/2 in 24.1 overs when showers forced an early stoppage. However, heavy rains are forecast again on Monday evening, putting the contest in doubt. Multiple inspections failed to get play restarted Sunday despite ground efforts. If a full 50-over match is completed Monday, it will be tough for India's bowlers to play Sri Lanka the next day. The reserve day was controversially added just for this fixture after their previous washout. With more rain likely, the prospect of a result remains uncertain. (Image courtesy: BCCI)

The India-Pakistan match began with fireworks as Rohit Sharma dispatched Shaheen Afridi for a towering six in the first over. But it was Shubman Gill who took the attack to Afridi during the powerplay, unsettling his rhythm. While Gill was aggressive, Rohit adopted a cautious approach against Naseem's pace. Their precision partnership saw India rapidly reach 50 in just 8.2 overs. Gill scored freely while Rohit anchored prudently. At the powerplay end, India was 61-0. Gill notched up a sublime 37-ball fifty. Rohit then launched an assault on Shadab Khan to bring up his 42-ball fifty too. The day's play had to be suspended for heavy rain. Match will resume tomorrow from the point it stopped. India is 147/2, with Virat (8*) and KL Rahul (17*) still batting.
