Snippets from UK: Covid Heads for Fever Pitch in Indian-dominated Parts of Britain

Virus rears up again: After a steady plateau that brought early confidence following the lifting of the lockdown, Covid cases have begun to rise again across Britain, and now in the Indian areas that had been reporting a lower than the national average over weeks now. The cases in these areas have now overtaken that average and are rising relatively fast in London, and much higher in the Midlands.

The mystery of Moeen Ali: The Indian confrontation with Moeen Ali is as exciting as it is unpredictable. The last was in the Chennai Test when he hit 43 off 18 balls. And before that, did exceptionally well in the Test series in England in 2014 and 2018, which England won. But equally, if anyone can hit him out of a game, it is this Indian team.
