| Delhi Cab Rape Victim Sues Uber In US
|
 A passenger who said she had been raped by an Uber driver in New Delhi sued the online car service in US federal court on Thursday, claiming the company failed to maintain basic safety procedures. In the lawsuit, the woman, who resides in Delhi and was not named, called Uber the "modern day equivalent of electronic hitchhiking." "Buyer beware - we all know how those horror movies end," the suit stated. In a statement, Uber did not directly address the lawsuit but said it is cooperating fully with the authorities to ensure the perpetrator is brought to justice. "Our deepest sympathies remain with the victim of this horrific crime," the company said.

| India vs England, 6th ODI in Perth: James Taylor, Jos Buttler guide England to three wickets victory to enter tri-series final
|
 James Taylor anchored England's chase, scoring 82 runs © Getty Images England have beaten India by three wickets in the sixth One-Day International (ODI) of the tri-series. They will now go on to face Australia in the finals of the series. In chase of 201, England were at one point staggering at 66/5 before Jos Buttler and James Taylor scored amazingly composed half-centuries, taking England to a victory. England's top-order failed miserably. Ian Bell only managed 10 runs and fellow-opener Moeen Ali fared seven run better. Joe Root, Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara put on an even more miserable show scoring less than 10 runs together. India's bowling was quite spectacular early on, particularly Stuart Binny. Binny procured generous swing and bowled with accuracy to pick three wickets putting England on the mat. Mohit Sharma bowled quite well and was rewarded with the wicket of Bell, whereas Akshar Patel got the lone wicket of Ali who tried to attack him. But when Buttler came out and showed some fight, the ...
