He formed a strong partnership with Ishan Kishan (39 off 18) and Shivam Dube (43 off 25) to put England’s bowlers under pressure early in the innings.
England captain Harry Brooke won the toss and elected to bowl first, but India started aggressively. Samson attacked from the start; Jofra Archer and other bowlers, hitting the ground hard.

End of Lalu-Nitish era in Bihar: BJP poised to conquer final frontier in Hindi heartland
New Delhi: The BJP is on the verge of achieving a historic first in Bihar. After a long wait – first in the Lalu era and then in the Nitish era in Bihar – the saffron party is all set to get the state’s first chief minister. This is the person in charge of JD(U) Nitish KumarThe “voluntary decision” to return to state politics marks the biggest political transition in the state in recent years. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who led the NDA alliance to a resounding victory in the assembly elections four months ago, today filed his nomination papers for the Lok Sabha, paving the way for a changing of the guard in the state.Announcing his decision on“Nitish Kumar’s move marks the end of an era in Bihar politics. But is this surprising? The answer is “no”. The transition was widely anticipated, especially after the Bharatiya Janata Party overtook the United Democratic Party to become the largest party in the ruling coalition for the second consecutive time.In the 2025 Assembly elections, the BJP emerged as the single largest party by winning 89 seats with 20.45% of the vote, while the JD(U) won 85 seats with 19.61% of the vote. The BJP, however, made no offer for the top job and Nitish Kumar was sworn in as chief minister for a record tenth time. But with the saffron party gaining a majority of seats in the new council of ministers, Nitish Kumar has for the first time been forced to abandon the most important domestic matters and the dominance of the BJP in decision-making has become apparent. The swearing-in ceremony of Nitish Kumar was more like a display of the strength of the BJP. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister attended Amit Shah Apart from the chief ministers of several states ruled by the BJP, there are also some of their cabinet colleagues.In fact, six years ago in 2020, the BJP could have captured the top job in Bihar. At that time, the BJP won 74 seats with a vote share of 19.46%. That’s almost double what Nitish Kumar’s party won: 43 parliamentary seats with 15.39% of the vote. However, the BJP decided to fulfill its pre-poll promise to appoint Nitish Kumar as chief minister if the alliance wins the election. The BJP may have had no choice then as the Lalu Prasad-led RJD had already won 75 seats and was happy to support Nitish Kumar keeping the BJP out of the equation. Therefore, Nitish Kumar continues to be the chief minister. However, the power dynamics within the NDA in Bihar have changed as the BJP emerged as a senior ally in the alliance for the first time. It has been a long wait for the BJP to land its first chief minister in Bihar. This is the only Hindi heartland state where the party does not have a top post so far. The BJP and JD(U) first came together in the state in 2005. From 2005 to 2015, the JD(U), under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, was the dominant partner in the alliance. Even in terms of numbers, the UDP has always been ahead of the BJP – forcing the saffron party to take second place in the state coalition government. Nitish Kumar’s dominance in national politics is so great that the BJP was forced to welcome him back with open arms twice after the JD(U) quit the NDA and joined hands with the rival Mahagathbandhan. It is against this backdrop that the turn of events in Bihar is significant for the BJP. Its rivals were quick to compare Maharashtra to the saffron party, attacking it for forcing Nitish Kumar into submission. Leader of Opposition in the state assembly and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav claimed that the BJP has always been against Dalits and OBCs and with Kumar leaving the chief minister’s post, the party will try to implement its agenda in the socialist stronghold.“BJP has done Maharashtra in Bihar. We have said from the beginning that the BJP will not let Nitish Kumar continue as chief minister after the elections. This is exactly what has happened. This development goes against the people’s mandate and amounts to a betrayal of the people,” he said.“What the Indian National Congress often said during its campaign in Bihar has now become a reality,” said Jairam Ramesh, the Congress general secretary for communications.Ramesh said onThe next big challenge for the BJP will be keeping caste in mind while deciding the next state chief minister. The names of some serious contenders – Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, Union Minister Nityanand Rai – are already doing the rounds. But given the track record of the BJP, these biggies will be keeping their fingers crossed. It rarely chooses well-known figures to lead the government, instead always surprisingly choosing unknown leaders as chief ministers.
Ishowspeed Live: “Which Ocean”: IShowSpeed plans to conduct a live search after Eiichiro Oda dropped One Piece’s mysterious treasure box into the sea

Darren Watkins Jr. (better known online as IShowSpeed) surprised fans when he suddenly announced during a live broadcast on March 4, 2026 that he would search the ocean for the famous treasure from “One Piece.” The moment came when he played a video on his YouTube channel titled “IShowSpeed Beats Resident Evil: Requiem.” Streamers reacted to a special video posted by the official One Piece YouTube channel on March 2, 2026. The video celebrates the comic’s global sales of 600 million copies. In the video, series creator Eiichiro Oda writes the secret of One Piece’s treasure on a piece of paper and seals it in a small box. The box was then thrown from the ship into the sea.This simple act quickly turned into a huge mystery online. Fans began speculating where the box might be. Some people even try to study the video frame by frame. During the live broadcast, IShowSpeed watched the clip and was excited by the idea of finding it.At 15:35 of the live broadcast, he told viewers:“We gotta go. I gotta go. I gotta find One Piece, bro. I gotta find One Piece. Chat, I gotta find One Piece, bro. Chat, I gotta find it. Chat, what part of the ocean did they dump it in? Should I do a stream to try to find it. Chat, Pacific? Atlantic? Arctic Ocean? What? Chat, which ocean?” The video quickly went viral on social media, with fans laughing and wondering if the streamer would actually attempt such a crazy live streaming adventure.
IShowSpeed reacts to Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece treasure chest video when Reddit user XilLive suggests the location of Suruga Bay via detailed clue analysis
The mystery grew even bigger the next day when a Reddit user named XilLive posted a lengthy analysis on the Reddit subreddit r/OnePieceSpoilers on March 3, 2026. The user took a closer look at the official video and shared several clues that may reveal where the chest dropped.According to the first clue, this drop is likely to occur near Japan. The user stated that the Japan Coast Guard generally does not allow dumping of objects into the sea unless special permission is obtained.They wrote:“Clue 1: We assume it’s off the coast of Japan, on Japanese territory. Judging from the ship, the crew, and the fact that dumping it in the ocean is illegal, I’m guessing Oda has permission from the Japanese Coast Guard and the treasure is tracked so they can find it later.”The Reddit user also noticed something about the sunset in the video. They said the camera appeared to be facing southwest, with no land visible on the horizon. This detail indicates that the ship was some distance from the coast of Japan.Another observation focuses on the seafloor shown briefly in the clip. Users speculate that the box may be located about 600 meters underwater, where the seafloor has soft sediment and calm currents. The user came up with his final guess after considering all the available evidence. They believe the treasure may be located in Suruga Bay, a deep bay near Tokyo. The site is also famous for the research activities of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology.Still, the Reddit user admitted the theory might not be perfect. They wrote that the video could even be staged and said fans should take the clues carefully. Currently, the true location of the One Piece Box remains unknown. But between fan speculation and IShowSpeed’s wild idea of scouring the ocean live, the mystery has only made fans more curious.

‘I made a mistake’: Rep. Tony Gonzalez admits to affair with staffer who later died by suicide amid ethics probe
Rep. Tony Gonzalez admitted to having a sexual relationship with a staffer who later died by suicide, just hours after the House Ethics Committee announced an investigation into the Texas Republican.“I made a mistake, I had a lapse in judgment and a lack of confidence, and I take full responsibility for those actions,” Gonzalez said in an interview with conservative talk show host Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo published Wednesday, March 4. “Since then, I have reconciled with my wife, Angel. I asked God to forgive me, and He did. And my faith remains as strong as ever.”Earlier Wednesday, the House Ethics Committee voted to investigate Gonzalez to determine whether he “engaged in sexual misconduct with an employee of a congressional office; and/or unfairly discriminated by granting special favors or privileges.” Under the House Official Code of Conduct, relationships between members of Congress and their staff are prohibited. According to People magazine, Gonzalez told Pagliarulo that he “looks forward” to the ethics committee’s investigation.The interview came one day after the Texas primary. Gonzalez, 45, failed to secure 50 percent of the vote in his House district on Tuesday, March 3, to clinch the Republican nomination, so he will run in a runoff election on May 26 against gun activist Brandon Herrera. The winner of the runoff will face Democrat Katy Padilla Stout in November.On February 17, the San Antonio Express-News reported that Santos-Aviles told a former staff member at Gonzalez’s district office about her 2024 affair with Gonzalez, and that after her husband learned of the relationship, Santos-Aviles fell into depression. The unnamed source showed the media screenshots of text messages Santos-Aviles allegedly sent admitting to “having an affair with our boss.”People also received text messages Gonzalez allegedly sent to Santos-Aviles on May 9, 2024, in which he asked her to “send me a sexy photo.” Santos-Avilez later appeared to tell Gonzalez, “I just don’t like taking pictures of myself,” to which he allegedly replied, “I’m a visual person.”Gonzalez said in an interview with Pagliarulo that Santos-Aviles’ death “shocked everyone.”“There are some reports that she’s not doing her job well,” the congressman said. “It is [the] Quite the opposite. She excels at her job. “Pagliarulo also asked Gonzalez if the alleged leaked text messages were true.“I’ll let the investigation unfold and share all the different details,” he responded. “I would say there’s a lot that’s not revealed about this story.”While some Republicans have called for Gonzalez to resign, House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters last week that Gonzalez is entitled to due process.“As in every case like this, you have to let the investigation proceed and let all the facts come out,” Johnson said, according to NPR. “If an accusation against something is going to be a litmus test for whether someone can continue to serve in the House, a lot of people are going to have to resign or be removed from office or expelled from Congress.”“This is my third runoff in four cycles,” Gonzalez told CNN after the investigation was announced. “We’re going to win this runoff, too.”
