A listless India capitulated to an embarrassing 63-run defeat to concede lead in the three-match series. Chasing 176 for a win on Day 4, India crashed to 112 all out as Rangana Herath bagged seven wickets. "I think we should stop talking about aggressiveness, tentativeness and whatever, I think we should just focus on the game and start playing the game.

Queen didn’t know how to handle ‘emotional’ Diana!

Lomdon : Queen Elizabeth-II was ‘desperate’ to help daughter-in-law Princess Diana cope with the mounting unhappiness over her married life, but did not know how to handle the ‘emotional young woman’, a new book has claimed. The Queen and Princess Diana reportedly shared a long- troubled relationship and a new book sheds more light on the disconnect between the two royal women. In ‘The Queen’s Speech: An Intimate Portrait of the Queen in Her Own Words’, author Ingrid Seward details the vast generation gap between Diana, who was just 20 when she wed Prince Charles in 1981, and her formidable mother-in-law who was then 55-years-old. The two women had a long history together as Diana’s father, the 8th Earl Spencer, had worked for the royal family and Diana herself grew up in Park House on the Queen’s Sandringham estate.
