MUMBAI: One day cricket returns to Sri Lanka as the home side takes on Bangladesh in the three game Laqshya series, which will be seen live on Ten Sports.A commentary team including Tony Grieg and Sanjay Manjrekar will bring ball by ball coverage from each game as the Sri Lankans play their first home series since the cricket world cup.

Sri Lanka have an excellent record at home to the Bangladeshis and have won all the previous 6 games between the 2 nations in Sri Lanka . The last time the two sides met was a remarkable success for the Sri Lankans. In the West Indies, during the group stages of the World Cup, Sri Lanka won by an amazing margin of 198 runs, destroying the confidence the Bangladeshis had gained from their victory over India . An 85 ball century from Sanath Jayasuriya proved the difference on that occasion, leading the star studded Sri Lankan batting line up in a demolition of the Bangladesh team.

Much has been made of the Bangladesh growth in international cricket, but the visitors have much to prove as they take on one of their most difficult opponents, as Bangladesh attempt to show that the gap between themselves and the Sri Lankans is narrowing.

The series marks the start of a great season of cricket on Ten Sports, including England in Sri Lanka , Australia , South Africa and Zimbabwe in Pakistan , Sri Lanka and Australia in the West Indies as well as regular magazine programmes on the sport.

MUMBAI: When it is all about song and dance can Govinda be far behind? Never. So Govinda it is on Indian Idol this week as a celebrity judge. The gala round of Indian Idol this week is full of high powered performances backed by electrifying dancing by none other than Govinda himself who set the stage on fire with his vintage moves. The one who enticed him to take the stage was none other than the spunky Ankita Mishra, the contestant who has the credit of making all the judges dance to her tune on stage.

Govinda?s moves could put many a youngster to shame. The ease with which he danced to the vintage hit? Babuji dheere chalna brought the house down. He followed it up with Babuji zara dheere chalo bijlee khadi deko? The audience wanted more and so did the judges. So the show continued with Alisha, Anu Malik and Udit Narayan all taking to the stage with the contestants for a mind-blowing performance.

Govinda?s career may have floundered for a while but he is back in the driver?s seat with Partner for which he gives full credit to his real life friend and buddy Salman Khan who stepped in to help Govinda in his hour of need. The two pals have surpassed their limits in comic timing to come up with the laugh riot that is Partner.

Govinda fans are hoping the same too. At the end of the day everybody knows Govinda delivers ? even if he is an actor come late.

MUMBAI: Catch all the excitement of Coca Cola Speed Jamming contest as the journey unfolds with loads of drama, action and fun with the contestants showing their confidence and their strong belief in ‘love at first sight‘.

MUMBAI:This week, all 4 evicted jodi‘s (Varun Badola & Deepak Dutta, Ketaki Dave & Pratap Fauzdar, Kiran Karmarkar & Sunil Sawara, Swapnil Joshi & VIP) from Comedy Circus will get a second chance to perform and put forward their best to impress the judges, win the audiences and get back on the show! But Ketaki Dave in the ‘once bitten twice shy‘ mood, refused to participate in the last minute. Ketaki believed that it took a lot of commitment and time out of an actor to put up a successful comedy act, and though her commitment undoubted she could never spare the time from her busy schedule for the much wanted rehearsals.

With no choice left, the Producers Optymistix were on the look out for a replacement since they did not want the other jodis to miss out on this golden chance due to one celebrity‘s exit! Actor Maninee De came in as a savior in disguise when she accepted the challenge with little time to spare and was a complete sport in spite of knowing that she would face tough competition considering that the other celebrities had an upper hand having performed stand-up acts at least once before on the show.

Don‘t miss the sassy Maninee De and witty Pratap Fauzdar for the very first time perform on what‘s hot about marriage and what‘s not, this Saturday, 21 July at 9.30 pm only on Sony Entertainment Television.
