Ton-up Chris Gayle powers West Indies to 6-wicket win over Sri Lanka

Chris Gayle's 109 came off 100 deliveries and was embellished with seven sixes and nine fours. That pushed his team on to 209 for four off 37.5 overs and they earned a bonus point as well for reaching their target before the conclusion of the 40th over.

Chris Gayle notched his first one-day hundred against Sri Lanka as he led West Indies to a crushing six-wicket victory with more than 12 overs to spare in the opening match of the three-nation international series at Sabina Park on Friday.

2013 ICC Champions Trophy Final: India vs England - As it happened...

ENGLAND innings:

Over 20 || Score 124/8 

Ashwin to bowl the last over. The first ball spun away and Broad didn’t connect, 15 needed from 5, Dhoni appeals for a stumping and that again looked close, but the decision is not out. The second ball was a low full-toss, Broad sweeps, and connects well as the ball quickly travels to deep square leg for a boundary! Good shot under pressure. 11 needed from 4. Broad works the next ball towards mid-off for a single, 10 needed from 3, Tredwell on strike. The next ball was nudged towards wide of mid-off by Tredwell and a diving effort saves two runs, 8 needed from 2. Tredwell worked the fifth ball straight down the ground for two runs, 6 needed off the last ball. Can Tredwell do a Miandad? Can Ashwin be the hero? The last ball spun away and Tredwell didn’t connect, India have won the ICC CHAMPIONS TROPHY BY 5 RUNS!

INDIA innings:

Over 20 || Score 129/7 

Bresnan to bowl the final over. The first ball was a bouncer and Ashwin worked that to deep square leg for a single. Jadeja worked the second ball straight down the ground for a single and Ashwin is run-out after he ran for the second one. Bhuvneshwar Kumar comes to the crease. Jadeja takes a single off the third ball. Bhuvan took a single off the fourth ball. Jadeja gets another length ball and he spanks that over long-on for another SIX! Bresnan bowled a short ball to end the over and Jadeja pulled that for two runs at midwicket. So India have managed to reach a decent total, after a middle-order collapse. Kohli and Jadeja have played two good innings giving their bowlers and fans something to cheer about.

The External Affairs Ministry is concerned about a group of LTTE supporters carrying flags with Tiger Emblem and intruded to the Cardiff Cricket Ground during the ICC Champion Trophy Semi Finals yesterday.

Two LTTE supporters carrying flags with Tiger Emblems intruded into the grounds during the last balling of Sri Lanka against India yesterday and later another 5 of their companions followed suit.

Later police removed them, but another group of LTTE supporters staged a protest 500 metres away from the dressing room of the Sri Lankan cricketers.

Later the protesters have blocked the bus in which the Sri Lankan cricketers were traveling but allowed the another bus to proceed that was carrying Indian cricketers.

Indian media has given wide publicity today to the statements made by the protesting LTTE supporters.

What is Windows Blue?

Microsoft has sold 100 million Windows 8 licenses. Next up is Windows 8.1, aka 'Windows Blue'. Here we look at what is Windows Blue (Windows 8.1), as well as the likely Windows Blue release date. (Updated 12 June 2013.)

Windows 'Blue': Microsoft blows it

If you like Windows 8, you'll like -- maybe even love -- Windows 8.1 "Blue." But if you're a denizen of the old-fashioned Desktop world, without a yearning for touch and/or you don't want your PC to act like a smartphone, Windows 8.1 will disappoint -- big time.

Last week, Microsoft invited several members of the press for an on-the-record two-hour demo of Windows 8.1, code-named "Blue." Microsoft took me off its Christmas card list some time ago, but the reports among journos on the ground are telling: Windows 8.1 offers more of the same, with a few new twists for touch users, but nothing substantive for the Desktop.
