Kanpur Weather Report Day 2: India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test with more rain; View the full forecast

September 27, 2024, 8:30 PM IST

It rained on the first day of the ongoing second Test between India and Bangladesh. Will it rain again in Kanpur on the second day?

There were only 35 overs on the first day of the ongoing second Test match between India and Bangladesh as the match was abandoned due to rain in Kanpur on Friday. On the first day, India won the toss and Rohit Sharma chose to bowl. It proved to be the right decision as Akash Deep removed opener Zakir Hasan for a 24-ball duck.

The pacer struck again to remove Zakir’s opening partner Shadman Islam, who made 24 runs off 36 balls. R Ashwin, who was player of the match in the first Test, built on his strong form to defeat Najmul Hossain Shanto. Bangladesh reached 107/3 in 35 overs before play was abandoned with Mominul Haque (40*) and Mushfiqur Rahim (6*) remaining unbeaten.

Weather report for Kanpur

According to Accuweather, it will rain again on the second day and a thunderstorm is expected in some parts of Kanpur. The temperature is expected to be around 31 degrees Celsius and the chance of precipitation is 80 percent.

In the afternoon, a temperature of around 31 degrees Celsius and a 55 percent chance of precipitation are expected. Cloud cover will also increase.

The hosts won the first Test by 280 runs and had many positives. In the first innings, R Ashwin got a century and hit 113 runs off 133 balls. Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja hit 86 off 124 balls. In the bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah opted for a four-wicket haul.

In the second innings, Shubman Gill (119*) and Rishabh Pant (109) scored heavily. On the other hand, Ashwin managed a six-wicket haul. Despite all the positives, the scanner was once again on Virat Kohli, who was in poor form. He has not been in good form in Tests recently, scoring just two fifties and two hundreds since 2023. Meanwhile, Kohli was dismissed for six off six balls in the first innings of the Chennai Test against Bangladesh. He then walked away with 17 off 37 balls in the second over.

How do businesses fail inspections?

Businesses fall out of compliance when they have too many violations, issues that can cause a foodborne illness, when a problem can’t be fixed right away, such as bug and rodent infestations, and more. But most violations are minor and are corrected while an inspection is taking place.

Typically, establishments are reinspected within 10 days to ensure they are following the rules.

It’s rare for a business to shut down over a failed inspection. But it can happen. Usually, closures are temporary, voluntary and due to major problems, such as sewage backups, pest infestations, and water or power outages.

Nebraska battles Purdue in its first road game of 2024

Nebraska battles Purdue in its first road game of 2024

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WOWT) – When people talk about the end of a season, they usually talk about the “home stretch,” but for the Huskers in 2024, the home stretch has already ended in some ways.

After opening the season with four straight games at the comfort of Memorial Stadium (3-1, 0-1), Nebraska takes its first road trip on Saturday to a date with Purdue (1-2, 0-0).

GAME INFO

  • WHEN: 11 a.m., Saturday, September 28th
  • WHERE: Ross-Ade Stadium, West Lafayette, Ind.
  • REGARD: Peacock (click here for more information)
  • HEAR: Huskers Radio Network
  • VEGAS ODDS: Purdue +10.5, O/U 48.5

Nebraska is trying to recover from a disastrous late-game collapse that led to an overtime loss to No. 19 Illinois a week ago – a scene that has become all too familiar to the Big Red Nation over the last decade.

It’s the right place for the Huskers, and they know it.

“Hopefully [the Illinois loss] is a good wake-up call,” head coach Matt Rhule said in his press conference on Monday. “I have to admit that our team threw itself into crucial situations and didn’t make it. I have to admit that… As far as we’re concerned, on our sideline this week we can’t worry about the officials or a call that we feel is directed at us. We can’t worry about making the perfect call. Our guys just have to go out there and play loose.”

But despite the first loss of the season against an Illinois team that is poised for one of its best years in program history, there is still optimism among the Husker faithful for the most part.

That game is a thing of the past and now Purdue finds itself in the crosshairs of a Nebraska team hungry for its first conference win of the season.

“For me right now it’s about this week,” Rhule said. “We focused on really familiarizing ourselves with all the different things that Purdue does. They really had two different offenses this year, which adds a little versatility to our preparation. What we know is that Mockobee is as good a player as the Big Ten, and we know Card is excellent.”

Devin Mockobee is a real tailback for the Boilermakers with his height of 1.80 m and a weight of just over 90 kg. In three games, Mockobee has rushed for 276 yards and a touchdown, averaging a whopping 7.7 yards per carry.

His backfield mate, QB Hudson Card, is about as experienced as any college football player out there. A fifth-year senior, Card is in his second season at quarterback for the Boilermakers since transferring from Texas in 2022.

Card opened the season with a near-perfect performance in a 49-0 win over Indiana State, completing 24 of 25 passes for 273 yards and four touchdowns. However, he has struggled since then, as has the entire Purdue team. Card completed just 11 passes and threw two interceptions in Purdue’s blowout loss to Notre Dame before throwing for just 56 yards in another loss – a 38-21 loss to Oregon State.

Still, the Huskers refuse to discount a Boilermaker team that, while obviously struggling this season, can always pull off an upset in West Lafayette.

“It’s going to be a huge battle and we’re just going to have to try to make one more play than them,” Rhule said.

Freshman QB Dylan Raiola and the Nebraska offense will look to break up a Purdue unit that ranked last in the Big Ten in total defense through four weeks and gave up 66 points to Notre Dame in week two.

Raiola had his best performance of his young career in last week’s loss to the Illini, completing 24 of 35 passes for 297 yards and three touchdowns. Now he’s preparing for the first road game of his college career.

“I think nothing will change for us except that we will wear white jerseys instead of red,” Raiola said in his press conference on Monday. “We’ll just try to go out there and play our best football, but it will be in a different stadium. “I think all the boys are looking forward to a change of scenery and we can all be out there together, which makes it even better.”

Nebraska easily handled Purdue a season ago, winning 31-14 and holding Card to just 100 yards through the air. The record between these two teams is dead even at 6-6, with Saturday’s winner taking a lead in the historic clash.

8 Practical Apps for iPhone Mirroring in iOS 18 and MacOS Sequoia

8 Practical Apps for iPhone Mirroring in iOS 18 and MacOS Sequoia

Is Apple’s new? iPhone mirroring function actually makes sense in the latest versions of iOS and MacOS? No matter where your iPhone is nearby – in another room where it’s charging or buried at the bottom of a bag – you can see and control it from your Mac.

CNET Tech Tips logo

Aside from the sheer convenience of not having to pick up the phone, I’ve found several reasons to use iPhone mirroring. In fact, I find myself using it regularly on my iPhone 16 since the release of iOS 18 and MacOS Sequoia. (And if you run this latest betaslets you experiment with one of the most interesting mirroring features, the ability to drag and drop items directly onto the phone and vice versa.)

Read more: How to control your iPhone from your Mac using iPhone mirroring

iOS 18 and MacOS Sequoia are available now and bring a variety of other features, such as: animated text messages and the ability to do so Customize your iPhone’s home screen.

Check this out: iPhone Mirroring comes to Macs with MacOS Sequoia

When your iPhone is in a pocket, purse or other room

The simplest use case is when you want to access something on your phone but it’s buried in a bag, just out of reach, or you can’t get up (or you can, but the snoozing cat or dog on your lap would don’t do that). I don’t appreciate the disruption). The connection via iPhone mirroring is much more convenient.

iPhone mirroring on macOS Sequoia and iOS 18 lets you access your iPhone even when it’s in a bag or out of reach.

Jeff Carlson/CNET

However, this feature doesn’t work over long distances, such as if you accidentally left your iPhone at home and need to access it from work. iPhone mirroring uses Apple’s Continuity technology, which means the iPhone and Mac must be within Bluetooth range of each other.

If you need to check in via an iPhone app

Missed your daily Duolingo check-in and your phone isn’t at hand? If this is the case with your Mac, iPhone Mirroring can connect and ensure you keep your streak going.

Or maybe you need to complete today’s Wordle challenge, but while you’re working it would be too obvious that you’re looking at your phone. The discreet iPhone Mirroring window can be easily covered or hidden if necessary.

If you want to use an app, not a web interface

Even today, some popular services still work much better in apps than in web interfaces. Yes, we’re looking at you, Instagram. Posting through an app often includes more options or a better user experience. Because iPhone mirroring gives you almost complete access to the iPhone interface, you can post with a mouse cursor instead of a finger.

Apps like Instagram offer more features than their web counterparts.

If you want to quickly transfer items between devices (coming soon)

I take a lot of screenshots for work and personally take even more photos, all of which end up in my photo library. These images are then synced to my Mac via iCloud – but sometimes it seems to be at a pace aptly described as “when the phone gets around to it.” If I need something on my Mac immediately, I use AirDrop between devices, which It works, but it’s more complicated than I’d like.

Later this year, however, we’ll be able to drag and drop all types of files – not just images – between an iPhone and the Mac running the iPhone Mirroring app. This also works both ways: Drop a video or important PDF file from a Mac Finder window onto the mirrored iPhone to transfer it to the phone. (You can play with it now Beta versions for iOS 18.1 and MacOS Sequoia.)

If you don’t want to clutter up your Mac with software junk

MacOS has a long history of supporting system extensions, startup items, and various background processes that you probably don’t realize are running most of the time. For example, some large application suites distribute these accessory files like a dropped Lego box. In many cases, resource consumption is negligible, but these parts still consume memory and processor power.

In contrast, iOS has always been built as a siled system, with each app having its own protected storage and tightly controlled routes for interacting with other apps. Especially for apps that you don’t use often but need to keep, you may want to install a mobile version to avoid the app creep that occurs on macOS.

iPhone Mirroring offers you the opportunity to continue using such an app on your Mac without infecting MacOS with all the associated junk that is normally installed.

If you want to log in to your bank’s app instead of doing so on the computer

Unfortunately, some of these suggestions focus on the theme of “an app is better than a website,” and there is often no better example than banking websites.

It can be easier and more secure to access your bank accounts or investments by using iPhone Mirroring to sign in with the iOS app instead of a web browser on your Mac. You’ll still need to authenticate the iPhone app when you open it (since you can’t use Face ID or Touch ID on the device), but that might be a more convenient option.

Use safe apps that are only available on your phone, such as: B. the Bank of America app.

If you want to access locked and hidden apps on your phone

In iOS 18, you can hide sensitive apps or require authentication (e.g. Face ID) to open them. If you’d rather use them on your phone rather than through an app or web interface on your Mac, iPhone Mirroring lets you access them when the phone isn’t nearby.

If you do this, the iPhone Mirroring app will require authentication via Mac, as expected. Enter your Mac’s login password, use Touch ID, or authenticate with your connected Apple Watch to open locked apps or reveal the hidden folder on your phone.

Three iPhone mirroring screens show the process of clicking on the hidden folder, entering your password to authenticate, and then visible apps in the folder.

If you are giving a presentation and want to show what is on the iPhone

Admittedly, this is a smaller subset of use cases, but if you need to demonstrate something on iPhone during an online or in-person presentation, iPhone Mirroring is a far easier option than other methods.

Aside from installing an overhead camera, the predominant method is to connect the iPhone to a Mac via a cable and use QuickTime Player to display the phone’s screen. Then you would still have to use the phone with your hands.

With iPhone Mirroring, the phone can now be connected wirelessly and operated using your Mac’s trackpad or mouse and keyboard.

The main limitation with this approach is that the mirrored connection will be interrupted if you need to do something on the phone.

And a streaming restriction that we would like to see changed

An unknown feature between Apple devices is the ability to stream media from an iPhone to a Mac using AirPlay. Is it time to sit back and watch a movie or catch an episode of your favorite TV show? You can launch it on iPhone and target Mac with its larger screen.

Since iPhone mirroring allows you to control an iPhone that is out of reach, it would be nice to start a movie playing on the Mac screen. However, digital rights management kills this idea when it comes to iPhone mirroring. Even though you can open an app like TV and start a show, the picture remains black.

This black screen also occurs when you use AirPlay to stream while iPhone mirroring is active. This only works if you physically control the phone and stream to the Mac.
