England v India: second men’s cricket Test, day five start delayed – live

Nothing is happening so I’m going to grab a coffee. In the meantime, here’s Geoff Lemon with the latest from Australia’s tour of the Caribbean.

The rain has eased so the groundstaff are getting to work. It’s still spitting and there’s been no discussion of a potential start time. Could be at least an hour – the outfield looks sodden.

England v India: second men’s cricket Test, day four – live

18th over: India 81-1 (Nair 13, Rahul 38) Woakes stitches together a maiden. England have bowled well this morning but with no luck so far.

“Morning James. A packed day of sport today, it’s what the OBO/MBM was made for!”

England v India: second men’s cricket Test, day three – live

Mohammad Siraj is on a hat-trick!

Siraj loses his run-up twice before bowling his first delivery. Losing your run-up is bad, losing Joe Root is a whole lot worse. He’s gone to Shami’s third ball, caught down the leg side by the diving Pant! Root can’t believe his luck. He flicked at a poor delivery, on the pads, and got a little tickle that was snaffled gleefully by Pant. That’s a big wicket. Huge. Massive. Massive!

England v India: second men’s cricket Test, day two – live

88th over: India 327-5 (Gill 121, Jadeja 49). This partnership continues to look serene and untroubled. Stokes bangs one into the pitch and Jadeja nudges it off his ribs for another quick single, Gill adds another, then Jadeja repeats the shot for one more single.

87th over: India 322-5 (Gill 119, Jadeja 47). Woakes, yesterday’s stand-out, starts from the City End, and concedes four first up thanks to a gorgeously timed clip through midwicket by Jadeja. The umpire then has a word with Jadeja about running on the pitch (to give himself some juicy rough to bowl into later presumably), and the No 7 responds by veering sharply left and running the next single from the very edge of the strip. More anguish for Woakes ensues when a no-ball is edged through the cordon for four by Gill, who to be fair played it with good, soft hands.

England v India: second women’s T20 cricket international – live

4th over: India 24-1 (Mandhana 13, Rodrigues 7) Rodrigues square-drives Filer with a flourish to score her first boundary. That was a rare full delivery in another aggressive over from Filer, who twice beat Rodrigues with short balls outside off stump.

This has been a good start from England, whose ground fielding has also looked much sharper than it did on Saturday.

Flamengo 2-4 Bayern Munich: Club World Cup, last 16 – as it happened

Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern won an entertaining game to set up a heavyweight quarter-final against PSG

Bayern take the lead from a corner that probably shouldn’t have been given. Kimmich curled another dangerous ball into a crowded six-yard box; where it brushed the head of the stretching Pulgar and drifted into the far corner.

5 min Kimmich’s corner is punched behind for another by Rossi. Actually, the replay suggests it went behind off a Bayern head but a corner has been given.

Palmeiras v Botafogo: Club World Cup, last 16 – live

5 min Richard Rios is still down and looks in a lot of pain. All his team-mates are around him; I don’t think he’s broken anything but he’s clearly struggling.

3 min The first yellow card goes to Botafogo centre-back Barboza for a poor scissor tackle on Rios. He’ll miss the quarter-final should Botafogo get through. Barboza may have slipped slightly but he’d already committed to what was a reckless challenge.
