Australia beats West Indies by eight wickets in second T20 International in Jamaica, to take 2-0 series lead
Inglis smashed 78 from 33 balls, and Green hit 56 from 32 as the tourists won the game by eight wickets.
Earlier, West Indies great Andre Russell gave the crowd something to cheer for, blasting a quickfire 36 off 15 balls — including four sixes — in his final match for his country after announcing his international retirement.
The West Indies scored 8-172 off their 20 overs, with Adam Zampa leading the bowling with 3-29. But Australia had no issue with the chase, getting the runs with 28 deliveries to spare.
The third game of the series will be played in Saint Kitts and Nevis on Saturday (Australian time).

England's Lionesses head home to party after Euro glory
England's victorious Lionesses prepared to fly home to a rapturous reception on Monday after retaining their European Championship crown with a dramatic penalty-shootout victory over world champions Spain. Chloe Kelly converted the decisive spot-kick in Basel after Sunday's Women's Euro 2025 final ended 1-1, repeating her heroics from three years previously. It was sweet revenge for Sarina Wiegman's defending champions, who suffered bitter defeat against the same opponents in the World Cup final two years ago. Fans are preparing to welcome home the victors, who will be whisked straight to 10 Downing Street, the working home of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. An open-top bus parade will follow on Tuesday, culminating in a celebration in front of Buckingham Palace. King Charles III said the team had the royal family's "warmest appreciation and admiration" following their victory, adding: "The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can." Starmer hailed the triumph, saying: "The Lionesses have once again captured the hearts of the nation. "Their victory is not only a remarkable sporting achievement, but an inspiration for young people across the country." The Downing Street reception will hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. Red-and-white St George's flags were hanging around the famous black door ahead of the team's arrival later on Monday from a rainy Zurich. Captain Leah Williamson showed off the trophy to a knot of fans who had gathered as the team made their way to the airport. - Late drama - Victory in Switzerland on Sunday capped a remarkable tournament packed with of late drama for England. Wiegman's team were slow out of the blocks, losing their first match against France, before comfortable wins over the Netherlands and Wales in the group phase. They came back from 2-0 down against Sweden in the quarter-finals before winning on penalties, and sealed their spot in Sunday's final with a last-gasp extra-time win over Italy. The defending champions again fell behind against Spain on Sunday but Alessia Russo cancelled out Mariona Caldentey's first-half opener and neither side could find a winner by the end of extra time. Two penalty saves by player-of-the-match Hannah Hampton and Salma Paralluelo's miss set the stage for Kelly, who also scored the winner against Germany in the 2022 final, as England won the shootout 3-1. The Lionesses led for fewer than five minutes across the entire Euros knockout stage. "I must admit that this is the most chaotic and ridiculous tournament we have played," said Wiegman. "The players say we can win by any means, and we just never, ever give up." The Dutch coach, who has now won three European Championship crowns in a row, having led the Netherlands to victory in 2017, said she hoped England's win would boost women's football across the globe. "How I've experienced this tournament is that the level went up again, the intensity of the games went through the roof," she said. "That's what we've seen. "We've seen it in the games, but also in the data we have. I think this tournament broke every record again and that's great, and I hope that that will boost the women's game everywhere.

Glamour couple Jordan De Goey, Aisha Jade McKinnon drop ‘surprise' life update
Collingwood forward Jordan De Goey and his former reality TV star girlfriend Aisha Jade McKinnon have announced the 'surprise' news they are expecting a baby girl. De Goey, 29, has been held to just five games for the Pies in an injury-plagued 2025 season, although he is in line for an AFL return this weekend. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. New Zealander McKinnon, who found fame as a contestant on Big Brother and is now a fashion designer and influencer, met the footy bad boy in early 2024 after linking up on Instagram. They went public with their romance at Collingwood's best and fairest awards last year and have since bought a farm together. McKinnon's Instagram bio says 'Fashion, Beauty and little Farm life' and the celebrity couple used that platform to announce their happy news. 'In the midst of our changing lives we were blessed with the greatest surprise of them all,' they captioned a joint post on Sunday. 'Baby girl coming soon.' The post featured an ultrasound, a sweet photo of De Goey holding McKinnon's stomach and a video that appears to show the footy star getting a gender reveal gift from his partner (see below). The announcement has received more than 35,000 likes and over 800 comments, including a number from De Goey's Collingwood teammates. 'Unreal! Congrats to both of you,' wrote Josh Daicos. Model and Daicos' partner Annalise Dalins added: 'The best news!! Congratulations you two! Sending (so much) love.' Oleg Markov and Isaac Quaynor both wrote: 'Congrats guys.' Musician Bec Wilcock gushed: 'This makes me so happy!!! Bring in the girl squad.' McKinnon told the Herald Sun last year the couple have similar interests and are loving working on their farm about an hour outside Melbourne. 'He's really lovely. We definitely value our privacy, we connected on that, and we both have unique jobs and support each other,'' she said. 'We were like pen pals until we met. We're getting our hands dirty at the farm transforming it and having fun.' De Goey has played 176 games for the Pies, including the 2023 premiership, but hasn't featured since round eight due to an Achilles injury. He was then concussed at training in a collision with Brayden Maynard, setting back his return further, but he turned out in the VFL last weekend and is in line for a senior recall. Pick No. 5 in the 2014 national draft, De Goey has had a series of alcohol and violence related issues in the past, including an arrest in New York in 2021 over an alleged nightclub assault.

Melbourne's Steven May fails at appeal to get rough conduct suspension for clash with Francis Evans overturned
Star defender Steven May will still miss Melbourne's next two games after the club's bid to overturn his rough conduct suspension was rejected by the AFL appeals board. May was initially handed a three-match ban by the tribunal for rough conduct over the high-speed collision in the Demons' July 19 loss to Carlton that left Blues forward Francis Evans with concussion, a broken nose and a missing tooth. The All Australian defender maintained the ball was always his focus. May, who missed the Demons' demoralising loss to St Kilda on Sunday with his own concussion, will be suspended for games against West Coast and the Western Bulldogs. He was not involved in Monday night's appeal hearing. The Demons appealed on the basis the tribunal made an error of law and that no tribunal acting reasonably could have come to the decision it did. Melbourne's case, which was presented over more than an hour, hinged on the contention that no reasonable tribunal would expect a player to anticipate the trajectory of the ball's bounce. Melbourne noted after a handball went over Evans' head, the ball bounced four times. The first three bounces went away from the Carlton player, before the fourth took the ball into his hands, when May made contact. Jack Rush, acting for the Demons, contended the tribunal had put a "sense of perfection on the reasonable player" in expecting May to anticipate the ball's trajectory. Melbourne also contended that the tribunal noting Evans had made a movement to avoid contact, while not taking into account May had extended his left leg in an attempt to also slow down, was "the height of procedural unfairness" and demonstrated "unreasonableness". AFL representative Nick Pane quickly contended the tribunal's finding was not unreasonable before the appeals board of Stephen Jurica, Wayne Henwood and chair Will Houghton deliberated for 14 minutes. In rejecting Melbourne's appeal, Houghton said the board was satisfied May understood the case being put forward against him and he had every opportunity to put forward his own case. He concluded there was no lack of procedural fairness and no unreasonableness in the tribunal's decision. Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin had said on Sunday that May was "devastated and shattered" by the tribunal's decision, having believed he had done the right thing in attacking the ball. Goodwin also predicted the case would shape the way players approach contests in future. He believed players would adapt with the more information they get from the AFL about how they are required to act in certain scenarios. AAP
