      Adil Rashid’s superb spell spins England to victory in third T20 against India

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    England may want to blow away sides with pace but the slow stuff matters, too. Adil Rashid was masterful in Rajkot, the leg-spinner delivering the key wicket of Tilak Varma, conceding no boundaries and securing his side’s first victory of this tour. India failed to chase down 172, their series lead now standing at 2-1 with two T20 internationals still to play.

    Rashid’s spell of one for 15 was vital after an English implosion with the bat. Ben Duckett had excelled early on, striking 51 off 28, before Varun Chakravarthy played chief nemesis with figures of five for 25. The visitors were unrelenting in their aggression, a fact welcomed by the hosts as England lost five wickets for 19 runs.

    Standing in front of the painting on Tuesday, the French president said the artwork would be moved to a location “independently accessible compared to the rest of the museum”, with “its own access pass”.

      Rebuilding review – Josh O’Connor is a stoic rancher in sensitive, if slight, wildfire drama

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025 • 1 minute

    Sundance film festival: The actor delivers another impressive performance, recalling his other rural drama God’s Own Country, in a timely film about recovery

    The difficult question of how one truly recovers from the devastating loss that a wildfire can bring is one that more and more are confronting. It’s been a horrifying year for too many in California, land and lives lost, the unimaginable process of figuring out what comes next now on the horizon. In writer-director Max Walker-Silverman’s quiet and timely sophomore film Rebuilding, he offers some insight into how this looks and feels, told through the eyes of Josh O’Connor’s stoic rancher.

    The British actor, coming off his biggest role in Luca Guadagnino’s teasing tennis drama Challengers, plays Dusty, a Colorado man who has just lost almost everything, acres of inherited land gone in an instant. We meet him not long after as he finds himself unmoored, unsure of what his life looks like now, moving to a pokey trailer paid for by rapidly decreasing government funds, forced back into a world he had mostly turned his back on. That world includes ex-wife Ruby (The White Lotus’s excellent and underused Meghann Fahy) and young daughter Callie Rose (promising Australian actor Lily LaTorre), who he now has to parent in a way we assume he hasn’t for a while. One of the film’s more effective moments sees Ruby express frustration over how, as a mostly absent father, Dusty can still do no wrong in his child’s mind, a tough pill to swallow for a mother who has taken on the harder day-to-day weight of true parenting. Walker-Silverman, who enjoyed a low-key Sundance hit back in 2022 with the delicate romance A Love Song, tells stories in the smallest of touches, spare dialogue deprioritised over stunning scenery.

    Rebuilding is screening at the Sundance film festival and is seeking distribution

      Asda ditches Aldi and Lidl price-match scheme just a year after launch

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    Supermarket to roll out its own price cuts campaign with new boss keen not to ‘dance to the tune of the discounters’

    Asda is ditching its Aldi and Lidl price-match scheme just a year after launching it, as the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket chain battles to win back shoppers amid rising costs.

    Stopping the scheme in favour of a wider “Rollback” price cuts campaign is one of the most dramatic moves yet by Asda’s new chair Allan Leighton who returned to run Asda late last year more than two decades after quitting as chief executive.

      ‘It was carnage – in the best way!’ Manic Street Preachers, Sleaford Mods, KT Tunstall and more pick their favourite small gig venues

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    The drinks are thrown, the crowds are feral – and the bands are right in your face. On independent venue week, musicians talk about their most cherished concert sweatboxes

    I love the bit in John Niven’s book O Brother where he goes back to where he saw the Clash at the Magnum Leisure Centre in Irvine and only the foundations of the building are left, so he reimagines the gig by standing on the footprint. He writes about how concerts can have such a powerful effect when you’re young that years later you feel the vibrations, even after the building has been knocked down.
