Doubts over the rest of England's tour in SA after a positive Covid test from one of the home players, despite both squads being in a secure bubble in the same hotel. Always the possibility that it was a false positive though. South Africa v England: Could tour be called off after coronavirus case? - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/55191122
Day 3 did not go well for the Windies. Dowrich not batting through injury, they were out for just 138 in their first innings. NZ enforced the follow on and the Windies were 196-6 at the close. They did rally from being 89-6 with Blackwood on 80 and Joseph on 59.
Robert MacIntyre raced to the turn in 29 this morning, but came back in one over to sit 5 off the lead in T7th on 16 under. Howie and Warren are 14 under, with Gallacher and Forrest on 12 under. Final round tomorrow.
As much as I think Boris's talk about bridges or tunnels linking Scotland and Northern Ireland is complete bullshit, the Faroese have just finished building a roundabout under the Atlantic.
Team for Saturday, van der Walt starts, Blair Cowan returns from Siberia for a place on the bench. Weir missing, is he injured? Bit strange otherwise to go from starting to being out the squad completely given how thin we are at 10 at the moment.
Fulham went 1-0 up through a breakaway goal at Leicester. They've just gone 2-0 up through a Cavaleiro penalty, which was awarded through a VAR review. This one definitely looked just like two players coming together.
Boxing Day week 16 triple header announced. Buccaneers at the Lions at 1pm Eastern time. 49ers at Cardinals at 4.30 pm. Dolphins at Raiders at 8.15 pm. The middle game is on Amazon Prime and Twitch, with the other two on NFL Network. Hopefully Sky get to show them too.
Given how poor the 49ers have been in some of the games, I burst out laughing last night when they showed the "in the hunt" for the playoffs graphics with the 49ers on it. If they can win those 2 games against Washington and Dallas, 1 other win could see them sneak in with an 8-8 record.
