New Zealand Cricket bosses said on Monday (25) they will personally apologise to England fast bowler Jofra Archer after he was racially abused during the first Test in Mount Maunganui.

The Barbados-born Archer, considered one of the most promising all-rounders in world cricket, tweeted he was disturbed to hear racial insults "whilst battling to help save my team".

The 24-year-old featured in a late show of resistance with Sam Curran in a 59-run stand for the ninth wicket before New Zealand wrapped up the match for an innings and 65 runs victory.

"A bit disturbing hearing racial insults today whilst battling to help save my team, the crowd was been amazing this week except for that one guy," Archer tweeted.

New Zealand Cricket's (NZC) public affairs manager Richard Boock said there is "zero tolerance towards abusive or offensive language" at all cricket venues in New Zealand.

NZC "will contact Mr. Archer tomorrow to apologise for the unacceptable experience, and to promise increased vigilance in the matter when the teams next meet in Hamilton", Boock said.

He said they will also examine CCTV footage in an attempt to identify the person responsible and will refer any relevant information to the police.

The second Test between New Zealand and England starts in Hamilton on Friday.

Mamitha Baiju joins Suriya for Venky Atluri’s new film as shoot begins in Hyderabad

Mamitha Baiju has landed a major break in her career as she will be starring opposite Suriya in his next film, directed by Venky Atluri. The official launch of the project, Suriya’s 46th, took place recently in Hyderabad with a traditional puja ceremony. The film brings together a strong cast that includes Raveena Tandon and Radhika Sarathkumar and is being backed by Sithara Entertainments. G.V. Prakash Kumar will handle the music, while Nimish Ravi is in charge of cinematography.

For Mamitha, this casting carries more weight than just another role. She has been open in interviews about how much she has admired Suriya from a young age and how much she has wanted to work with him. The two almost shared screen space earlier in Vanangaan, but the project underwent major changes. Suriya left the film due to creative differences, and Mamitha was eventually replaced. Though she had already shot scenes with him, that version of the film never saw the light of day.

Did Theo James just outshine Henry Cavill in the race to become James Bond?

The next James Bond hasn’t been confirmed yet, but one name has quietly moved ahead of the rest, and that is Theo James. While the usual suspects like Henry Cavill and Aaron Taylor-Johnson remain strong contenders, James has now become the frontrunner in the betting race.

According to UK bookmakers BetMGM, James currently sits at the top with odds of 6/4, followed by Cavill at 3/1. This shift follows the release of the Dolce & Gabbana campaign that featured James in a beachside fragrance advert. The images, shot in Capri and dripping with Bond-like energy, show him stepping out of the sea in tight white briefs, alongside model Vittoria Ceretti. It’s a stunning image that instantly reminded people of Daniel Craig’s memorable entrance in Casino Royale.
