Today in Sunday Drama...

Orange is the new Blue.
Pakistan are supporting India.
India are supporting India.
England have to win.
#TebbitTesters are properly torn.
Chilli Cheddar Naan for breakfast?

#ENGvIND #CWC19
No Moeen Ali? England are going to have to hope that was the right call..

Rishabh Pant, meanwhile, gatecrashing for India...

Excited, from London! #ENGvIND
Officially don’t like the Fanta Sleeves.

#OrangeIsTheNewBlue #ENGvIND
Cracking performance here from Roy & Bairstow. England all fired up.

Game On.

#INDvENG #ENGvIND
Fantastic century from Bairstow. Lots of chat, but lots of action here now.

The Indian chase feels like it’s already begun.

#ENGvIND #INDvENG
Well.

Shami.

Important wicket there.

Game now feels Back On.

#ENGvsIND #INDvENG
These numbers keep piling up....

Big total here for India (and the entire subcontinent) to chase....

#ENGvsIND #INDvENG
Chapeau, Stokes.
Chapeau, Bumrah.

Off to find strawberries and kulfi for a nail-biting afternoon.

#summercricket #sundaycricket
#ENGvsIND #INDvENG #CWC19
Regretting that strawberries & kulfi overdose right about now. A whole afternoon of cricket nerves ahead...

8-1.

#summerofcricket #TebbitTested
#ENGvIND #INDvENG
Nicely done, Rohit Sharma. Another classy century.

Meanwhile that run rate is climbing. Will we see a T20 Special from Pant?

#ENGvsIND #INDvENG #summerofcricket
Sunny take.

Both India and England should go through.

Now that’s a result. #TebbitTested

#ENGvIND #INDvENG #CWC19
India just don’t want this enough, do they?

Pakistan fans collectively pack up their support & wonder what happened.

Meanwhile, the storming performance by England this World Cup was waiting to see...

Strange love triangle, this one.

#INDvENG #ENGvIND
India apparently packed up and went home a few overs ago.

A really disappointing end to what had been a great game until a few overs ago. #CWC19

If you hadn’t noticed (and it seems lots haven’t!), there’s a World Cup Final on at Lords today, with England in it! Stay away that rain.
Excited as I am for #CWC19 Final, it’s disappointing tht @ECB_cricket wasted opportunities to win huge domestic support for cricket & the national team. 10.30am weekday starts most days, Sky subscription only & scheduling vs Wimbledon Men’s Final. Still, stay away that rain!
@ECB_cricket NZ put themselves into bat first. Interesting decision, given the skies. Come on England!

Day 1 #GeziPark #Kavala trial saw a packed courtroom in Istanbul & a high number of international observers.

Of poignant note was the Greek delegation of lawyers from Kavala, Greece.

Tomorrow expected to be a full day.

A full report to follow. @BarHumanRights @article19org
@BarHumanRights @article19org The Court heard the defence statements of Osman Kavala, Yiğit Aksakoğlu, Mucella Yapıcı, Çiğdem Mater & Hakan Altınay. Others to follow.

Worth noting a crowded courtroom rose to give both Kavala & Aksakoğlu a long, hearty and respectful applause, many times over. #GeziPark
@BarHumanRights @article19org #GeziPark Day 2 trial update.

The Court heard from 4 other Defendants, & lawyers’ statements for Kavala & Aksakoğlu. Court refused to allow public back for interim decision. A few international observers eventually permitted to stay, including @BarHumanRights.

A big night here in Istanbul as @ekrem_imamoglu upsets the apple cart in #Istanbulelections. There’s been back slapping & congratulatory hugging, car honking & flag waving on my drive across the Bosphorous tonight, but seems quieter than maybe expected. What happens next? #turkey
@ekrem_imamoglu Nothing quiet about this though. Watching on tv as @ekrem_imamoglu shouts to huge Istanbul crowd - Raise up your hands, raise them for the women, for the young, for democracy, law & justice. In this city, we build the future.

A pivotal moment for Turkey. #IstanbulElections
@ekrem_imamoglu Everything will be fine! The Istanbul victor @ekrem_imamoglu with the boy who spontaneously came up with his hashtag campaign! #herseycokguezelolacak

With that, a warm good night from a mood of positivity, and a few more car horns, at least for tonight, from a sultry Istanbul.

Local authorities in #Pakistan are not doing a good job protecting #Pakistani #Hazara population in #Quetta #Balochistan but the complex geopolitics involved in this story are terrifying. /1

There is a compelling case for categorizing attacks on #Hazara as acts of terrorism & war, not only sectarianism. #Pakistani Hazara & the State are embroiled in a complex situation that demands recognition & full disclosure. /2

#Pakistan law enforcement has eliminated key anti-#Shia extremist #Sunni militants in #Balochistan+#Punjab since 2015, & worked with #US & #Afghanistan to close #LeJ/#TTP/#BLA terror camps (involved in sectarian killings as part of a wider anti-Pak war)./3

I am trying not to get into the war of words between #India and #Pakistan over whether or not the Indian Air Force shot down a Pakistani F-16 in their recent confrontation. But since it keeps coming up on my timeline, some general observations (thread).
I learned from my first book on the Siachen war that nobody is a reliable witness. A lot of this is fog of war - tricks of memory, but also hierarchy – people will say what their bosses want to hear, aggrandise their own role, cover up for incompetence or simply get it wrong.
Among the most frustrating elements of writing up the Siachen war was that I found contradictions between men who had fought on the same side, sometimes even on the same day.

Though #Pakistan was created on religious line, #Jinnah was most liberal Muslim who never wanted #Pakistan a religious firm!
Till 1977 , Religion was just a personal choice in #Pakistan , General #Zia not only pushed religion but also took country decades backward !
#SZAB
Zia knew he had zero support from People hence he decided to take support from Mullahs and he ensured that hardcore Islam penetrate each institution in #Pakistan including #Army & #ISI !
#Soviet invaded #Afghanistan in 1979, #Zia used this opportunity to the fullest .
#US wanted to work on Proxy war, Zia got excellent platform to build these Proxies in Madrassa's of Pakistan.

Tensions are running high between the two nuclear powers #India and #Pakistan. Here is a thread running down their nuclear capabilities.
#India has 120-140 nuclear warheads with yields demonstrated as high as 60kt. They have all three delivery type systems, Land, Sea, and Air with ranges well within #Pakistan.
#India employs a National Command Authority with collective deliberation on the use of nuclear weapons. It is unknown if there is pre-delegation. India is a no-first-use policy state.

Unclear what “violated” means precisely here—but this also suggests multiple aircraft.
Follow-up tweet clarifies things a bit. We can litigate details later, but big picture right now per ISPR is IAF fighters crossed LoC in the early morning—before sunrise—and released some payload that Pakistan is saying hit nothing important in particular.
Biggest question I have is what “near” Balakot means and what payload specifically. Balakot is not in Azad Kashmir—it’s in KP.

Breaking: Large terrorist attack in #India. More than 40 Indian Reserve Police Force personnel were killed and many others injured when Pakistani backed terrorists targeted a convoy with a car bomb at Awantipora in Jammu and Kashmir's today, ndtv.com/india-news/15-…
Reports suggested that the vehicle used by the terrorists was a Mahindra Scorpio carrying more than 350 kg of explosives in what is the worst attack ever on security personnel in the state.
Sources said that terrorists triggered the car bomb while 78 vehicles with over 2,500 reserve police men were on the Srinagar-Jammu highway. The stretch on which the incident occurred had been sanitized in the morning & authorities called it a serious breach of security.
