Ashton Agar breaks 111-year record in Ashes

Australia's Ashton Agar today broke a 111-year record during the second day of the first Ashes Test against England here at Trent Bridge. Scorecard The 19-year-old left-handed batsman became the first debutant in Test history to register a half century. He came agonisingly close to world record century but fell short by 2 runs. Agar was the top scorer in Australia's first innings which ended at 280 in 64.5 overs.

Agar made a 101-ball 98 with 12 fours and 2 sixes. He and Phil Hughes had a world record partnership of 163 runs for the 10th wicket. The crowd and players gave a standing ovation to Agar as he walked back to the pavilion after falling to a pull shot off Stuart Broad. It was heartbreak for the youngster having come so close to a historic hundred. However, his efforts with the bat gave Australia a 65-run first innings lead. 98 is also Agar's highest first-class score, bettering 71 not out. Before this match, he had played only 10 first-class matches. Australian Prime Minister called Agar's innings as "stunning, gutsy and agonising." He tweeted: "What a stunning, gutsy, agonising 98 from Ashton Agar in the Ashes Test."

The overall previous best by a No. 11 batsman in Tests was West Indies' Tino Best's 95 last year against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Warwick Armstrong, also of Australia was the previous highest scorer at No. 11 as a debutant with 45 not out. He had scored those runs against England in Melbourne in 1902. Agar, a specialist left-arm orthodox spinner, was handed debut by Australia on the opening day on Wednesday. He was given the Baggy Green Cap by former fast bowler Glenn McGrath.

Abortion Bill Passed in Ireland

Historic abortion bill passed in Ireland; MPs vote 127 to 31 in favour

Ireland's Parliament has passed the historic and ground breaking pro-abortion bill. After 48 hours of negotiations, Irish MPs who spent all of Thursday and Friday night jostling over the highly controversial legislation finally pushed through the Protection of Life in Pregnancy Bill. Members of the Dail voted by 127 to 31 for the motion that will for the first time ever allow abortion in catholic Ireland.

Abortion services, however, will not be open for one and all. The bill allows abortions only when a pregnant woman's life is under threat due to the pregnancy or if she is suicidal. The bill was introduced after Indian dentist Savita Halappanavar died in hospital in Galway in 2012 after being denied a termination. An inquest was told that Savita was denied abortion twice because Ireland "is a catholic country."

Savita was 17 weeks pregnant when she was admitted to hospital in Ireland on October 21 and died later from septicaemia and a rare strain of E coli, four days after she lost her baby. An inquest revealed an abortion would have actually saved the 31-year-old Indian dentist. The victory is being attributed single handedly to Ireland's Prime Minister Enda Kenny who despite facing the biggest in-party revolt and threats of social ostracization by the Church went ahead with the legislation.

Ireland's European affairs minister Lucinda Creighton who is the most senior member of Kenny's party voiced concerns against the bill and voted against it. She now faces permanent expulsion from the Fine Gael parliamentary party. It has been 21 years since a judgement was passed in 1992 by the Supreme Court in Dublin - is now famously known as case X, which said abortion should be allowed if there was a threat to the mother's life, including suicide.

The case involved a 14-year-old rape victim who became pregnant and was refused permission by Irish authorities to travel to the UK for an abortion. However successive Irish governments have failed to garner courage to go ahead with the legislation due to strong protests from anti-abortion groups fearing a backlash. The Fine Gael-Labour coalition government is the first in over two decades to attempt to bring in a legislation introducing abortion. Catholic bishops have branded changes to Ireland's strict abortion regime as morally unacceptable saying "if approved would make the direct and intentional killing of unborn children lawful in Ireland."

Ram Charan turns vegetarian for his dog, Brat

Actor Ram Charan, we discovered, has recently turned vegetarian. And no, this has nothing to do with health or lifestyle reasons. He spoke exclusively to us about his reason for turning vegetarian.

"I got a dog as a gift from my wife Upasna, on my birthday on March 27 this year. The first time I saw this pup, there was a sense of comfort and positive vibe instantly. When my wife asked me what we should name him, without thought, I immediately said, 'Brat'."

Brat was the name of my earlier pet, a black Labrador, whom I loved immensely. we had many dogs in the family, but this was the only one I connected with. Sadly, I lost him six years ago due to my negligence. He was with me for 18 months. Usually, I would always have him on leash. but that morning, I went for a jog at 3am, leaving him unleashed thinking he would be safe at that hour. But unluckily, a car ran over him. he died in my arms."

"It's been six years, but I hadn't gotten over Brat. But when I saw my current Brat, after all these years, I felt an instant connection. since I named this pup Brat after my old Labrador, I am anxious. I don't want anything to happen to him because of me."

"Recently, Brat sustained a fracture and we had to get a rod inserted in his leg. It was devastating for me to watch him in pain. I just wanted him to get well soon and took a mannat that till he was up and running, I would give up non-vegetarian food. His rod was removed a few days back, but I am waiting for him to recover fully and run again. I will give up anything for him to be fine."
