Centurions Jamie Smith and Harry Brook offer a peep into Bazball 2.0

England’s wicket-keeper Jamie Smith came into bat in the day’s second over with the immediate task of denying Mohammed Siraj a dream hat-trick. W, W, W didn’t happen, it would be W, W, 4. The fall of Joe Root and Ben Stokes didn’t deter Smith from playing an audacious straight drive on Siraj’s pitched-up, challenging hat-trick ball.This is how Smith, his partner Harry Brook, and England in general, play. When cornered they hit themselves out of trouble and keep hitting. In a matter of 25 overs, after India had reduced England to 84/5, Smith reached his 100 in 80 balls in the last over of the session. Cricket romanticises those that score before lunch and Smith was every bit the knight in shining white flannels. To make matters worse for India, there were two of them. Equally guilty of crea...

Dear men, hot weather may be affecting your sperm count and motility; here are 5 ways to protect your fertility this summer

Blazing summer heat may not just be making you sweat, it could also be taking a toll on your fertility.  Rising temperatures are increasingly being linked to a decline in sperm health, with studies suggesting that excessive heat exposure can reduce sperm count, impair motility, and damage DNA integrity. According to a recent study published in the journal BMC Public Health, “Increased heat exposure and elevated scrotal temperature are considered important contributors to declining male fertility.” And with heatwaves becoming more frequent and intense, especially in tropical regions, reproductive health may be at greater risk than ever before.
