- Australia v Bangladesh: first men’s Test, day four – liveby Geoff Lemon (now) and James Wallace (later) on 16/08/2026 at 1:39 am
Updates as the Test at Marrara Cricket Ground continuesPlay starts in Darwin at 10am ACST/10.30am AESTAny thoughts? Email Geoff60th over: Australia 178-5 (Green 49, Webster 0) Beau Webster to the middle, blocks his first three balls.There it is for Bangladesh! And still with a lead of 50. Mehidy comes around the wicket, floats his off-breaks in, straightens them down the line. Carey goes down the wrong line, more leg stump, even though that ball pitches more on middle. It turns away slightly, grazes the edge, and is well caught. Such a dangerous player gone, and now Bangladesh are one wicket away from the bowlers. Continue reading...

He was eventually dispatched 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 by Thiago Agustín Tirante of Argentina, who took this golden opportunity to register the biggest win of his career. Continue reading...

- Newcastle’s Matthias Jaissle looks on bright side despite lacklustre Leverkusen defeatby Louise Taylor at St James' Park on 15/08/2026 at 7:18 pm
In spite of a 2-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, the new head coach at St James’ Park showed signs he is on the right path, and is closing in on Benfica’s Amar DedicReasons to be fearful or cause to be cheerful?

- Community Shield offers insight into Arsenal’s desire and Maresca’s Manchester City impact | Jonathan Wilsonby Jonathan Wilson on 15/08/2026 at 7:00 pm
Wembley curtain-raiser can offer clues but it is no reliable pointer to a season – its winners have not landed the title since 2018The doubt for anyone when a long-strived-for goal has been achieved is hunger. Arsenal waited 22 years for their 14th league title and, compounding the yearning, finished second three times in a row before finally lifting the Premier League trophy in May. The physical exertions of last season were immense – as seen by Declan Rice’s clear exhaustion and Bukayo Saka’s intermittent contributions at the World Cup, where William Saliba picked up a back injury – but so too was the emotional strain.The first weeks of a new season after a major tournament, especially the World Cup, are often a little erratic anyway, but this feels like a particularly unpredictable start to a campaign. Nine of the 20 Premier League clubs have changed manager this summer. For the first time in 40 years, none of the five big managerial beasts of the Premier League era – Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsène Wenger, José Mourinho, Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola – will be in charge of a club. There are unknowns and uncertainty everywhere, even at Arsenal. Mikel Arteta may be the longest-serving manager in the league but there are questions even there; it would be no great surprise if Arsenal were to start slowly. Continue reading...
