However, the measures have taken a heavy toll on the world's second-biggest economy and residents are voicing their frustration. Beijing has repeatedly defended its strategy and this week sent another 1.7 million people into lockdown in central Anhui province.
Sindhu had been left in tears after an "unfair" call by the umpires midway through her semifinal match against Japan's Akane Yamaguchi saw her go down in three games and eventually sign off with a bronze medal, her second in the continental championship. "Unfortunately, there is no rectification at this time. However, we have taken the necessary steps to avoid a repetition of this human error," the official said in the letter to Sindhu.
India's "timid" and "defensive" batting approach in their second innings allowed England to make a comeback in the rescheduled fifth Test on the fourth day, reckons former India head coach Ravi Shastri. Leading by 132 runs, India's second innings folded for 245. Chasing 378, England are now just 119 runs away from the victory target. "I think (it was) disappointing, to say the least, because they could have batted England out of this contest," said Shastri, who is part of the Sky Sports Cricket team at Edgbaston.

England might be inching towards a great comeback victory against India but star paceman Stuart Broad has had a match to forget so far. Broad was first taken to the cleaners by Jasprit Bumrah and had the ignominious record of bowling the costliest over in Test cricket to his name. He was then given a dressing down by English umpire Richard Kettleborough as he tried to argue about something when he had come out to bat in England's first innings.

Six-time champion Novak Djokovic targets an 11th Wimbledon semi-final on Tuesday as Ons Jabeur, the last top 15 women's seed standing, eyes an Arab landmark performance. Top seed Djokovic will reach his 43rd Slam semi-final if he can defeat Jannik Sinner. The odds are stacked in Djokovic's favour with the Italian 20-year-old yet to get past the quarter-finals of a major. "I kind of see a little bit of myself in his game from the back of the court, playing flat backhand, constantly staying on the back of the line, trying to put pressure on opponents," said Djokovic.
