President Mohammed Shahabuddin is 'lying' about former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation letter, says Law Advisor Asif Nazrul. President Shahabuddin also addressed the nation that evening, confirming Hasina had submitted her resignation letter, which he had accepted. President Shahabuddin administered the oath for the new government. In his speech on the 5th of August, the president repeatedly confirmed that the prime minister had resigned. If, after nearly two and a half months, he now claims no resignation letter was submitted, this is a direct contradiction and a breach of his oath.

Until my son moved into his College Park dorm room last month, I always made his bed before I turned in for the night. Most parents probably think I’m crazy. Maybe I tidied his covers each night because he didn’t always sleep well, and I wanted to give him a good start on a good night’s rest. I carried up the mini-fridge and the Keurig and we put his dorm bed on risers.

Despite a sparkling five-wicket haul from slow bowler Taijul Islam, South Africa have taken a 34-run lead in the Mirpur Test against Bangladesh. At stumps, South Africa were on 140-6 with Tony de Zorzi (30) as their top-scorer and wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne (18) and Wiaan Mulder (17) at the crease. Rabada notably became the fastest bowler to take 300 Test wickets in terms of the number of deliveries. No other partnership exceeded 30 runs.
