Ronaldo scores as Juve beat Spezia IMAGE: Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo in action. Photograph: Massimo Pinca/Reuters Cristiano Ronaldo marked his 600th league appearance with his 20th Serie A goal of the season as Juventus beat Spezia 3-0 on Tuesday to move within three points of second-placed AC Milan. The Portuguese guided in his side's third goal late on after Alvaro Morata and Federico Chiesa had struck earlier in the second half to put Andrea Pirlo's side in a commanding position.

SQM , the world's No. 2 producer of lithium posted record lithium sales in the last quarter of 2020, although floundering prices for the ultralight metal continued to weigh on the company's profits. After the coronavirus pandemic dented earnings last year, SQM and peers like Albemarle are expected to cash in on surging demand for battery metal lithium, critical to the electric vehicles that have become popular amid climate change concerns. SQM said late on Wednesday its lithium sales volumes in the fourth quarter jumped 50% from the previous quarter, hitting a three-month record of more than 25,000 tonnes. But prices stagnated at $5,300 per tonne, the company said, leaving net income on par with the same quarter of 2019. "We believe that this could be the bottom of the decreasing pricing trend and that we could see higher prices during the first half of 2021," the company said in a statement. SQM CEO Ricardo Ramos cautioned in a call with analysts on Thursday that the ... » Learn More about Chile´s SQM posts record lithium sales, sees major hydroxide expansion

IMAGE: Ben Stokes batted for nearly two and a half hours to get to his fifty before being dismissed by Washington Sundar. Photograph: Amit Dave/Reuters Ben Stokes couldn't hide his "disappointment" at frittering away a good start as he had defended well for almost two and half hours during the "hardest conditions" that he has ever batted in his 70-odd Test matches. Stokes scored 55 off 121 balls before a skidder from Washington Sundar trapped him leg before on the opening day of the final Test against India. "I am more disappointed that I actually get myself in and get out. Fifty is not really a (score) that will win you a Test match," Stokes told after day's play. "I was very disappointed to, getting on that wicket, start feeling comfortable and then get out in the way I did especially because I spent two and a half hours protecting myself from the ball that skids on and getting out to the ball that skids on. So, I was very frustrated with myself," the ... » Learn More about These are hardest conditions I’ve faced: Stokes

IMAGE: Virat Kohli bats in the nets. Photograph: BCCI/Twitter A ruthless India will not take their foot off the pedal while taking England for another 'spin ride' in the high-stakes Test series finale starting on Thursday, aiming to not just complete another dominant home performance but also realise their World Test Championship dreams. Virat Kohli's men need at least a draw to maintain the current 2-1 scoreline to qualify for the Lord's final against New Zealand while England at best can heal Tim Paine's January scars by letting Australia a lucky passage to the summit clash with a win. While a draw always seems a safe option in a game like this but Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri, with their attacking instincts, wouldn't like to play a defensive game which at times can be counter-productive. India laid a venomous trap on the refurbished Motera and with the pink ball, demolished England inside two days, messing more with their minds than getting any tangible help from the ... » Learn More about With WTC final in sight, India-England gear up for 4th Test

Mumbai: Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan , who celebrated his 78th birthday on Sunday, recently revealed that his mother Teji Bachchan had almost named him Inquilab when he was born. During one of the episodes of Kaun Banega Crorepati 12 , Big B shared a rather interesting anecdote from his life.
