Aussie fumble causes second lowest total in test Cricket
The most unwanted record in test cricket history remains New Zealand's, thanks to a fielding fumble by a young Australian. For the past 70 years, New Zealand has held the record for the the lowest total, having been dismissed for 26 against England in 1955. Today the West Indies were close to taking the record, but they survived to be dismissed for just 27 runs by Australia in the third test in Jamaica. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

F1: Liam Lawson gets backing from former team-mate

Lawson is currently enjoying a mid championship break following a challenging first half of the season. After being dumped by Red Bull after just two races of the 2025 season, the 23-year-old Kiwi is starting to show some consistency with junior team Racing Bulls. Lawson's former team-mate in the German Touring Car Championship, fellow New Zealander Nick Cassidy, is backing him and believes he is making progress. "People in motorsport have short memories," Cassidy told RacingNews365. Lawson had his best result of the season, a sixth place finish at the Austrian Grand Prix last month, but failed to finish last week's British Grand Prix when he was hit on the first lap. Cassidy, who competes in Formula E for Jaguar, said he is pleased to see improvement in Lawson. "I think it took probably some adjustment for him going to the Red Bull car and then back to Racing Bulls as well. New Zealand Racing Bulls F1 driver Liam Lawson, 2025.

"And so I really hope he can keep that going. And you know, the Formula 1 calendar, it is long and people in motorsport have short memories. "I'm sure he has the opportunity to really turn it around, and the talent to turn it around. So all the best to him for that," Cassidy told RacingNews365. Cassidy and Lawson both drove for Ferrari during the 2021 DTM (German Touring Car Championship). Cassidy won a Formula E race in Berlin at the weekend and is fifth in the standings with one round remaining.

England win dramatic Lord's test by 22 runs
England's Ollie Pope and Jamie Smith run past India's Mohammed Siraj as England win the third test at Lord's, 2025. Photo: BEN STANSALL / AFP England beat India by 22 runs on a final day of simmering tension and high drama in the third test at Lord's on Monday to move 2-1 up in the series. Shoaib Bashir bowled Mohammed Siraj for four to seal victory, India's number 11 playing a defensive stroke before the ball trickled down the face of his bat and rolled on to the stumps as he watched on in disbelief. As the England players celebrated wildly, Ravindra Jadeja trudged off the field after making a valiant unbeaten 61 to take India to the brink of an extraordinary win. The hosts had looked on course for a far more comfortable victory when they reduced India to 112-8 at lunch, but Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah battled for nearly two hours to inch their team towards a target of 193. Jadeja was given out lbw to Chris Woakes by the umpire but the decision was overturned on review and the left-hander heaved the next delivery over mid-wicket for six, prompting loud cheers from the Indian fans. England finally made the breakthrough when Bumrah, on five, skied an attempted pull off Ben Stokes and was caught by substitute fielder Sam Cook. The majority of the crowd erupted with a mixture of joy and relief but Jadeja continued to frustrate England, reaching his 50, off 150 balls, by edging Stokes over the slips for four. Siraj survived 30 deliveries for his four runs as Jadeja farmed the bowling and took a succession of singles off the fourth ball of the over to dominate the strike. Siraj suffered a painful blow to his shoulder after being struck by a Jofra Archer delivery and shortly afterwards his resistance was finally broken. England had claimed four wickets in the morning to take charge of the match after India resumed on 58-4. Rishabh Pant played an extraordinary one-handed straight drive for four off Archer to move to nine, but the fast bowler responded two balls later with an excellent delivery which uprooted his off stump. Stokes snared KL Rahul lbw for 39, the England captain dropping to his knees and imploring the umpire to give him out. He refused to do so but England called for a review and the decision was overturned to huge cheers from the crowd. Washington Sundar was next to fall for a duck, Archer leaping to his right to take a superb one-handed catch off his own bowling. Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy frustrated England with solid defence in a partnership of 30 until Woakes found the edge of Reddy's bat just before lunch to give the hosts a huge lift as they left the field to warm applause from a packed crowd. The series is level at 1-1. -Reuters
