SILVERSTONE, England : Seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton said he would support a peaceful protest at the British Grand Prix this weekend as Formula One drivers voiced fears of environmental activists invading the track.
India will take on Netherlands in their final ICC World Cup 2023 group stage match in Bengaluru on November 11 after the latter became the final side to book their spot in the competition. Bas de Leede was the star performer on Thursday as Netherlands defeated Scotland by four wickets. Earlier, Sri Lanka was the first side to qualify for the World Cup and they will face hosts India at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on November 2. The match has already been attracting a lot of fanfare on social media as it will be a repeat of the 2011 World Cup final which India won to clinch their first ODI World Cup since 1983.
"This is going to be wild," laughed Australia cricket fan Joel Guy as he stepped into the Headingley bear pit on Thursday for the latest chapter of an increasingly bitter Ashes series. From an hour before play, England fans in Leeds, northern England, were champing at the bit to let Australia's players know how they felt about the incident on the final day of the second Test at Lord's on Sunday that brought a previously good-natured series to boiling point.
A magnificent all-round performance by Bas de Leede secured The Netherlands the final spot in the Cricket World Cup after they beat Scotland by four wickets on Thursday.

Virat Kohli's struggles outside the off-stump aren't showing any signs of improvement, as the India stalwart departed again while chasing a delivery that should've been left alone. Kohli, whose weaknesses were duly exploited by Australia in the World Test Championship final, was once again snapped behind the stumps during an intra-squad practice game. It was left-arm seamer Jaydev Unadkar who got rid of the right-hander, leaving the latter's fans in dismay. Some of the other batters, like Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, truly made a mark on the occasion.
After their batsmen's limp outing, North Zone bowlers produced a gritty effort to bowl out South Zone for 195 to give their team a slender advantage on the second day of the Duleep Trophy semifinals on Thursday. At close, North were 51 for 2 in their second innings for a lead of 54 runs. They would want to build on this thin platform substantially on Day 3. When it was their turn, South Zone had a chance to construct a bigger total but bulked under the constant pressure applied by North bowlers.
Cheteshwar Pujara looked rock-solid while Suryakumar Yadav played his natural attacking game as their contrasting half-centuries put West Zone in complete control after left-arm medium pacer Arzan Nagwaswalla's five-wicket haul floored Central Zone on the second day of the Duleep Trophy semi-final here on Thursday. At stumps, West Zone reached 149 for 3 in their second essay, extending their overall lead to 241. This was after Shivam Mavi (6/44) quickly wrapped up the West Zone first innings for 220, for the addition of just four runs to their overnight score. But the joy turned out to be a short-lived one as Nagwaswalla, who has gone as net bowler with senior India team in 2021 tour of England, took 5/74 in 14.3 overs to decimate Central Zone for 128 in just 31.3 overs.
