South Africa v Australia: third men’s cricket Test, day five

44th over: Australia 74-8 (Cummins 3, Lyon 4) Rabada is back. Huge cheer! They want him to bowl at Cummins, who he has a suffocatingly good record against, but he gets to bowl at Lyon instead. Probably has a good record against him too. Lyon pulls him for four, though! Great shot, in control, along the ground, gaps abound with bat-pad catchers both sides of the wicket. Rabada started the over with an overstep, as well.

I beat Fallon Sherrock before £501k Luke Littler payday

The 'Beat Luke Littler' show on Netflix has prompted plenty of discussion after Fallon Sherrock got the better of the world darts champion and scooped the £501,000 top prize. While some have been congratulating Sherrock on her win, others have argued her involvement alone goes against the principle of the show. “It should have just been pub players,” wrote one social media user, while another claimed she “took someone else’s space”.
