🇮🇳 has played home Test series of three or more games since 1933. 91 years & 65 series later, they’ve been whitewashed for the very first time. This is by far the greatest achievement in @BLACKCAPS history & one of most remarkable Test series performances by any side full stop.

A huge win for New Zealand in Bengaluru! They win a Test in India for the first time in nearly 36 years, becoming only the third team to beat India in India in the past decade 🙌 es.pn/INDvNZ24-Test1 #INDvNZ

Completely fascinated by this technology. Partly because I work with wood a lot. But the real thing is the potential climate implications. The short version is that it transforms wood into a substance substantially stronger than steel … inventwood.com/mettlewood

That's quite something: South Korea now imports more Kimchi from China than it exports all over the world.
