Savers can now buy the Treasury’s popular I bonds online with automatic payments from their checking accounts. The bonds, in denominations as low as $25, are posted electronically at Treasurydirect.gov, where savers can check their earnings at any time. Granted, the returns aren’t eyepopping: these bonds are currently paying 2.57 percent.

Batsmen: Karun Nair might have flopped on his debut but he will now have a fair idea of what to expect when the teams lock horns once again. The management probably won’t be dropping him so soon and he will look to make the most of the opportunity. Nair watched his state mate KL Rahul smash a ton and that would inspire him to do better.

The Gunners hit a new low on Sunday as they were crushed 4-0 by Liverpool in a one-sided affair at Anfield. Criticism of Arsene Wenger has mounted on the back of a dismal display, with his position at the club where he agreed a two-year extension earlier in the summer once again being questioned. Former club captain Vieira, who is now in charge of MLS side New York City, has refused to be drawn into that debate and believes that Arsenal have enough quality at their disposal to play their way out of the slump....

Modric was crowned the world’s best player on Monday, ending the 10-year stranglehold of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi on the prize.

But Modric says a meeting with Zidane shortly after his arrival in the job in 2016 was key to his surge to the top of world football....

The self-proclaimed Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic hosts an estimated 1,500 Russian troops acting as “peacekeepers” after an early 1990s war led to a ceasefire and no lasting political solution between Moldovia and its eastern Transnistria region. Often considered one of the “frozen conflicts” in which separatists sympathetic to the collapsing Soviet Union sought to resist joining newly independent nations, the dispute has come to the forefront of international attention once again as Russia launched a full-scale war last week against Ukraine on the pretext of backing allied insurgents....

When an ancient Chinese hex kicks in, they wake to discover how devastatingly unprepared they are to live each other’s life. Tess, in her daughter’s body, is hopeless at both guitar and algebra; Anna, horrified to find herself wearing her mom’s middle-aged face, is inept at comforting Tess’s neurotic patients. (When in doubt, Tess advises her, just say, “But how do you feel about that?”) More ambiguous complications arise when Jake (Chad Michael Murray) the motorcycle-riding heartthrob Anna swoons for, falls for Anna’s soul after all....
