The 134 with Matt Renshaw is the first time in Nathan Lyon's 144-Test career that he has been involved in a century partnership - his previous best was 87 with Mitchell Starc, also against SA, at the WACA in 2012.

I choose to believe the 'Dragons v Badgers' contest they're advertising between deliveries is a literal fight between those animals. It's South Africa. There are all manner of beasts there. Some must fight. Some must do so on television. #SAvAUS 🏏

Telegraph says Cook to get a central contract, like Cox Pleased for Sam but, overall, good news for Essex bc Eng do what they want anyway! Hauled him out of Sx game & only played 6 Champ games in '25. So may as well save his salary to refashion side www.telegraph.co.uk/... ($)

Draw confirmed. Abandoned for day. Unless Leics get 25 pts back we are in Div1 IMO you can’t say we deserved to go down when we beat bottom two home & away. Prob is that we barely got a result apart from that. V v poor end Major surgery needed over winter. But 💰 v v tight.
