BBC World Service - BBC OS, Cricket fans react as IPL 2021 is suspended

The Indian Premier League has been suspended after more Covid-19 cases among players

The Indian Premier League, which is run by the Board of Control for Cricket in India - the BCCI - has been suspended after an increase in coronavirus cases among players. The IPL is the richest franchise tournament in world cricket - with top players from all across the world taking part. We've been hearing from fans reacting to the news.

Bill and Melinda Gates have announced their divorce after 27 years of marriage, saying "we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple". We hear from couples who have divorced after a similar length of time.

We also get the latest on the collapse of a metro overpass in Mexico City.
