As international cricket resumes for the first time since the March lockdown, here is a glimpse of what is going on behind the scenes. HiIndia Newsdesk International cricket will restart on Wednesday, 117 days after the coronavirus pandemic had brought a screeching halt to all live action in March. England and West Indies will resume proceedings in the first Test at the Ageas Bowl, but the two teams will be playing behind closed doors in a ‘biosecure bubble’. Only a limited number of people can access these areas, including the players, who will be put up at hotels on site. All of them will be regularly tested. Media movement will also be restricted, with a diminished headcount than usual. Maintaining social distance, daily temperature checks, and filing daily health reports are part of the new norms. Further, areas have been demarcated into various perimeters with testing sites spanning 1500- 2000 sq. meters, and green

zones designating where particular groups are able to be within the “inner core” of the venues (such as the on-site hotel or field of play). England pacer Mark Wood has admitted that training inside a bio-secure bubble has been a “weird” experience and something similar to a “sci-fi movie”. “It’s a bit like a sci-fi movie,” Wood was quoted as saying by the Evening Standard. “Everybody’s masked up and you can’t see anybody. You don’t know if they’re friendly or not! It’s a bit different and a bit weird, but it’s just something we’ll have to get used to,” he added. West Indies pacer Oshane Thomas says the experience hasn’t been that bad after all. “In terms of how long things will be like this, we really have to wait and see.

When Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris confronted Son Heung-min on the field at halftime, Jose Mourinho was far from annoyed. The manager renowned for his own flashpoints and volatility was delighted to see tensions between teammates erupting in public view. “It was beautiful,” he said. “Probably it’s a consequence of our meetings.” Angered by the timidity of a 3-1 loss at Sheffield United in the previous English Premier League round, Mourinho saw the passion he wanted as Tottenham

this time secured a 1-0 victory over Everton on Monday. Just before the break, with Tottenham leading, Son lost the ball which led to Richarlison having a chance to equalize but striking wide of Lloris’ post. “I think to concede a chance a few seconds before halftime because we don’t make the pressing properly,” Lloris said, “that annoys me but it’s part of football. Move on.” Only, Lloris didn’t when the whistle blew for halftime, shouting as he raced over to Son. Giovani Lo Celso and Harry Winks intervened to split the clashing teammates.

Apex court allows NY prosecutors to see President’s financial details
The court’s decision in favour of the New York prosecutors was a major statement on the scope and limits of presidential power
HiIndia Newsdesk The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for prosecutors in New York to see President Trump’s financial records, a stunning defeat for Trump but a decision that probably means the records will be shielded from public scrutiny under grand jury secrecy rules until after the election, and perhaps indefinitely. In a separate decision, the court ruled that Congress could not, at least for now, see many of the same records. The vote in both cases was 7 to 2. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr wrote both majority opinions. The court’s decision in favour of the New York prosecutors was a major statement on the scope and limits of presidential power, one that will take its place with landmark rulings that required President Richard M. Nixon to turn over tapes of Oval Office conversations and forced President Bill Clinton to provide evidence in a sexual harassment suit.
