Superb match between New Zealand and Australia with the All Blacks winning 41-33. Played indoor at Dunedin, great atmosphere.

India win by 9 wickets with 39 balls to spare!

Watching India destroy Australia's attack as they chase down the 359 the Aussies scored. India are 339-1 with Rohit on 125 from 118 balls and Kohli on 93 from 48. Entertaining stuff. Second highest run chase in the 50 over format if they pull it off, which they look as if they will do easily with 8 overs left. Kohli gets his 100 from 52 balls, fastest ever 1 day century by an Indian.

Much better second half from Glasgow saw then score 4 tries and pick up a bonus point. Still a gunning though.

Hotspot won't be used in the Ashes series as channel 9 says it costs them too much.

Jonah. He's still 4 yards away from being in the top ten.

Haters gonna hate! Even as a Niners fan I'm still not convinced about him. Yes, he's had some terrific games, but he's had some stinkers too. Niners are in turmoil IMO, Patrick Willis injured and Aldon Smith out indefinitely after being arrested on a DUI charge on Friday. Defensive nightmare with those two missing.

The way England and Australia wasted them this summer they should have given them less, not more!

Aus 298 all out from 49.1 overs, actually a decent recovery from England late on to slow down the scoring and take the wickets. Still means they need to chase a record score though. Watson (143) and Clarke (75) the standout perfomers.

Glad I went to bed when play was stopped, had a gut feeling that the Niners were going to have a mare.

Great win for Glasgow at one of Europe's toughest venues. Good win for Edinburgh too with a late penalty.

Matthew Hoggard announces his retirement at the end of the season, he was an excellent bowler in his prime, played a huge part in the 2005 Ashes win for England. 67 Tests: 248 wickets, average 30.50, best bowling 7-61, 7 x five wickets in innings, 1 x 10 wickets in match, 473 runs, 24 catches 26 ODIs: 32 wickets, average 36.00, best bowling 5-49, 1 x five wickets in innings First-class: 786 wickets, average 27.56, best bowling 7-49, 26 x five wickets in an innings, 1 x 10 wickets in a match

Excellent opening weekend's entertainment, both the Sky games came down to the last play, I'd gladly watch that every week. You can go for weeks without anyone scoring a safety, then last night you get 3 on the one night!

And that's it done and dusted now, 7 TD passes for Manning.

What a fanny.

Bopara and Morgan both playing well, Ireland struggling to keep the run rate in check now. 155-4 with 18 overs left.

England 102-4 at the halfway stage chasing another 168 to win.

In a similar vein, it's thought that British intelligence knew that the Germans were going to blitz Coventry as they had intercepted coded messages, but if they had evacuated the town that would have let the Germans know that we had cracked their Ultra codes so the people of Coventry were left to suffer their fate.

England's second highest ever T20 score. They'll need to get their thinking caps on to come up with a plan to bowl to Finch, he battered all the bowlers around the ground.

Missing Hilfenhaus as well this summer hasn't helped them, be a massive blow if they were to lose Harris, even for just 1 test.

As 10CC sang "Don't you cramp me style, Don't you pee on me pitch." Or something....

They were knocking the idea around on Sky earlier, but I'm with you that there's too many variables that affect the over rate. One thing that does get on my tits nowadays are the amount of subs that come and go during play. You get players now disappearing 10 minutes before lunch or tea, there's no need for it tbh.

Teams bowling tactically slow over rates has been going on for years, is it time for the ICC to actually introduce rules that punish slow play?

Nightshift Sky Go loyal!

2005 Ashes in England had 10.30 am starts, don't know why they changed tbh.
