"We knew the way to win this game was to put a mammoth score on the board," England's stand-in skipper Ollie Pope said. "I think that's credit to (Brook and Root) for the skills they've got with the bat, the determination they had to put the team in a winning position. "We're hurt as a nation, but the beauty of the game is it always gives you another chance. Life gives you another chance so the quick turnaround might be quite beneficial for us and we're all looking forward to it," Masood said. "The trick for us is that we should learn, obviously, from England as well."

She ran up large debts on credit cards in her parents' names and after their deaths she continued to spend their pensions. McCollough, who previously admitted two counts of murder, was sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court but she showed no emotion as she was sent down. He said McCullough had created a web of lies "on a shocking and monumental scale" and described her as "an intelligent and adept manipulator". A missing persons' investigation was launched in September 2023 after Mr and Mrs McCullough's GP raised concerns about not hearing from them. Police became suspicious of the couple's daughter due to her constant excuses for her parents whereabouts and later executed a warrant at the family home.

Breakdancers have been urged to avoid headspinning after a dancer who developed a cone-shaped lump on his head due to "years of extensive headspinning practice” had to have it surgically removed. The benign tumour, dubbed a “breakdance bulge”, was more than an inch thick, according to a report published by the British Medical Journal. The condition is thought to be caused by repeated friction between the scalp and the floor, combined with pressure from the dancer’s body. The unnamed dancer from Denmark trained five times a week – including up to seven minutes of headspinning – and had been wearing a hat to hide the bulge.

Write to letters@thetimes.co.ukSir, The UK has a strong record of attracting global capital (“Will Starmer’s ‘mini-Davos’ jump-start investment in Britain?”, Oct 4). We estimate that there is £500 billion of “dry powder” available to be deployed in infrastructure globally, in stable, well-regulated economies. But political instability and unattractive regulation have seriously damaged the UK’s reputation over the past two years. While Labour’s majority should ease political uncertainty, the regulatory environment remains a red flag — especially after investors’ recent experience in the water sector. If the UK wants to attract private capital, it must ensure that regulated sectors offer competitive returns.

The podcast is called Crosscurrents, and the episode is called, "The Hum, worldwide mystery sound explained." What's common about them and what makes it the "worldwide" Hum is that these hums are all low frequency, or low in pitch. Low frequency sounds have a similar throbbing characteristic that can be annoying even when it's quiet. Low frequency sound also travels further and is able to pass through walls and ear plugs more easily than other sound. "The most plausible source for this widespread infrasound and low frequency noise pollution is high pressure natural gas pipelines.

The Unravelling Wilburys, a band that has been delighting audiences across the UK with their energetic and humorous tribute to the iconic Traveling Wilburys, are bringing their much-anticipated show to the Memorial Theatre on Saturday, 26th October. Although the original band never performed live, The Unravelling Wilburys will be recreating what a Wilburys concert might have sounded like. The Unravelling Wilburys, however, are renowned, as much for their humour as their musical renditions. Claiming to be the original Wilbury brothers from Nashville Tennessee, these “good ol’ boys” reckon their original songs were stolen by Dylan and co who became a tribute to them. “We’re really looking forward to our first-ever show at the Memorial Theatre,” said John Freeman.

Cambridge came second in life sciences and third in arts and humanities Louis Ashworth with permission for VarsityThe University of Cambridge has been ranked fifth in the world in the Times World University Rankings for the second year running.

El Salvador moves to earlier in the season (and into a more favourable swell season)Trestles moves to a regular season slot. The complete order and dates are as follows:Counting Finals Day, there are now twelve stops on the tour. Putting Abu Dhabi aside, it's arguably the most 'dream-like' schedule the Woz has released since taking the reins in 2013.

JD Vance was asked five times by The New York Times within two minutes if he believes Trump lost the 2020 presidential election, but he refused to acknowledge his loss. “There’s an obsession here with focusing on 2020,” Vance told Garcia-Navarro. In the Vance-Walz debate, the Republican senator from Ohio twice refused to answer whether Trump lost in 2020, a dodge that Walz called a “damning nonanswer. In his interview with The Times, Vance said he would “commit to a peaceful transfer of power” in 2024 but hedged on whether he and Trump would accept the outcome, if they lose.

The Northern Lights have illuminated the skies over the UK and parts of the US, with vibrant displays of colour visible as far south as Kent in England. However, the spectacle extended further south, offering a rare opportunity for people to witness the phenomenon. In the US, parts of the northern states also experienced the dazzling light show.The display is the result of a powerful solar eruption that has sent charged particles from the sun hurtling towards Earth. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) had earlier issued a G4 geomagnetic storm watch, one of the most severe classifications. This storm, expected to hit Earth on Thursday, allows the Northern Lights to be seen far beyond their usual range.
