Why Mumbai still floods despite upgraded infrastructure; and why even light rain disrupts the city

Mumbai recorded exceptionally high rainfall, exceeding normal monsoon levels significantly. This extreme weather event surpassed annual averages of many major Indian cities. Climate change is increasingly reshaping rainfall patterns across the country. Urban development has reduced natural water absorption, worsening flooding issues. Blocked drains and infrastructure limits further contribute to the persistent waterlogging crisis.

One-off Women's Test: Lord's Prepares For Landmark Game As England, India Renew Red-ball Rivalry (preview)

Melbourne Cricket Ground: Cricket's most celebrated venue is set to witness a long-awaited milestone when Lord's stages its first-ever women's Test beginning Friday, with England and India meeting in a one-off contest that carries significance far beyond the result. More than 140 years after the ground hosted its inaugural men's Test, the women's game finally arrives at the Home of Cricket, a development that has been widely viewed as another important step in the sport's push towards greater equality. The occasion has already generated unprecedented interest, with over 30,000 tickets sold across the four days, the highest attendance ever recorded for a women's Test in the United Kingdom. The fixture also comes less than three years after an independent review into equity in English cricket criticised the absence of women's Test cricket at Lord's, making this week's match symbolic as well as competitive. For both sides, however, sentiment will quickly give way to cricketing priorities. England return to the longest format seeking to halt an underwhelming run that has yielded only one Test victory in the past decade. Their last appearance ended in a comprehensive defeat to Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground earlier this year, while memories of falling short in the T20 World Cup final on home soil continue to linger. Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt will hope the switch to red-ball cricket offers an opportunity to reset a side that has shown flashes of brilliance but struggled for consistency on the biggest occasions. India arrive with similar motivation after their own disappointing T20 World Cup campaign ended at the group stage. Although Harmanpreet Kaur's side has played only sparingly in the format over recent years, they have produced impressive performances whenever opportunities have arisen. A commanding victory over South Africa in Chennai in 2024 reaffirmed India's strength in red-ball cricket before Australia halted their unbeaten run earlier this year in a pink-ball Test at Perth. History, meanwhile, offers India plenty of encouragement. The visitors remain unbeaten in women's Tests played in England, having avoided defeat in all nine previous matches on English soil. Their overall record against England is equally impressive, with India losing just one of 15 Tests between the two nations while recording three victories and drawing the remaining contests. One of those victories remains among the defining moments in India's women's cricket journey. Their triumph at Wormsley in 2014, achieved with a squad featuring eight Test debutants, ended an eight-year absence from the format and announced the arrival of a new generation led by players such as Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur. Nearly a decade later, India underlined their growing authority with a crushing 347-run win over England in Navi Mumbai. The latest chapter promises another fascinating tactical contest. England have opted for a youthful squad, handing maiden Test call-ups to Alice Capsey, Eleanor Threlkeld, Grace Potts, Mady Villiers and teenage left-arm spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman. Their selection reflects an attempt to build depth while managing workloads, with Charlie Dean rested after an extended white-ball schedule. India, too, have injected fresh faces into the squad. Harleen Deol, left-arm spinner N Shree Charani and fast bowler Nandani Sharma are all in line for potential Test debuts, while seam-bowling all-rounder Sayali Satghare offers valuable balance after making her international breakthrough earlier this year. Selection decisions could prove decisive once conditions are assessed on the opening morning. England possess genuine pace options in Lauren Filer and Issy Wong, both capable of exploiting any assistance available from the Lord's surface. Their experienced core, featuring Tammy Beaumont, Heather Knight, Maia Bouchier and world-class spinner Sophie Ecclestone, gives the hosts a settled spine despite the influx of newcomers. India's preparations have been disrupted by the loss of opener Pratika Rawal, who suffered a knee injury during an India A fixture in Taunton. Priya Punia has been drafted into the squad, while the race for places in the batting order remains open with Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Yastika Bhatia and Harleen Deol all competing for starting spots. The composition of India's bowling attack is another area of intrigue. Head coach Amol Muzumdar must determine the ideal combination from Renuka Singh, Kranti Gaud and Nandani Sharma, with Satghare's ability to contribute in both disciplines strengthening her case for inclusion. On paper, England enter the contest with the advantage of familiar conditions and a squad packed with experienced performers. India, however, have repeatedly demonstrated their ability to compete in overseas Tests and carry the confidence of an outstanding record against England in the format. As Lord's finally opens its gates to women's Test cricket, the match represents far more than a place in the result books. It offers two ambitious teams the chance to shape another landmark in the evolution of the women's game while adding a new chapter to one of cricket's oldest rivalries.

ENG-W Vs IND-W: When And Where To Watch One-off Test, Know All Details

Sony Sports Network: A landmark moment awaits women's cricket when Lord's stages its first-ever women's Test, with England hosting India in a one-off four-day contest beginning Friday. The occasion is expected to draw record crowds, with more than 30,000 tickets sold, underlining the growing appeal of the women's game at one of cricket's most iconic venues. While history will be made off the field, both teams have plenty to prove on it. England head into the contest looking to bounce back from a difficult run in the longest format after suffering an innings defeat to Australia in their previous Test earlier this year. Led by Nat Sciver-Brunt, the hosts have blended experience with youth, handing maiden Test call-ups to Alice Capsey, Eleanor Threlkeld, Grace Potts, Mady Villiers and teenage spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman. India, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, will draw confidence from an impressive record against England in Test cricket. The visitors are unbeaten in nine women's Tests played in England and registered a comprehensive 347-run victory over England in their most recent meeting in Navi Mumbai in 2023. However, India's preparations have been disrupted by the injury to opener Pratika Rawal, forcing a late change to the squad with Priya Punia drafted in. The visitors have also included potential debutants Harleen Deol, N Shree Charani and Nandani Sharma as they look to inject fresh energy into the red-ball setup. Selection will be crucial for both camps. England must decide how much pace to deploy in conditions that traditionally favour seam bowling, while India face key decisions over their batting combination and the composition of their pace attack. Although England begin as favourites in familiar conditions, India's strong overseas record in the format and their success against the hosts ensure the inaugural women's Test at Lord's promises to be far more than a ceremonial occasion.
