Bumrah's match-winning spell and Rohit Sharma's half-century helped India gain a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. During the course of his innings, Rohit hit five massive six and one of those shots hit a six-year-old girl, Meera Salvi, on the head.

The match was temporarily halted and media reports said the England team’s medical officers attended to Meera.


After the game was over, Rohit himself went up to Meera and her father and took down their contact number so that he could speak to them later.

The England cricket team, on the other hand, shared a team’s jersey with young Meera.

During the course of the match, Rohit became the first Indian to hit 250 sixes in 50-over matches. While he is still the only current player to achieve the feat globally, three others - Pakistan's Shahid Afridi, West Indian Chris Gayle and Sri Lanka's Sanath Jayasuriya - have hit more sixes than Sharma in ODIs. But they have all retired.

Woking councillors challenge police facial recognition cameras over privacy concerns

Highlights

  • Facial recognition vans deployed in Surrey and Sussex on November (26) spark privacy debate.
  • Councillors cite early trial error rates of 81 per cent, with severe inaccuracies.
  • Surrey Police defend technology, saying two arrests already made and no statistical bias in current system.
A cross-party group of Woking councillors has written to Surrey Police demanding the suspension of facial recognition cameras deployed in the town, citing concerns over privacy rights and potential bias against ethnic minority communities.

Vans equipped with facial recognition technology were rolled out on the streets of Surrey and Sussex on 26 November. However, independent, Labour and Liberal Democrat councillors on Woking Borough Council are calling for the scheme to be halted.

The vans are fitted with cameras that feed into specialist software designed to catch criminals, suspects and those wanted on recall to prison. Police have stated that images of people not on the watchlist will be instantly deleted from the system, minimising "impact on their human rights".
