Brilliant fielding, murderous batting: Maxwell's night out makes it 4-0 in St Kitts
The pressure exerted by Australia's batters was shown by how the West Indian bowlers, pace and spin alike, were often unwilling to put the ball in a spot where it could be reached. As a consequence, they delivered an eye-watering 16 wides. Loading He signalled his intention to make an impact in the field, as the Australians again sought to restrict West Indies on the almost comically small Warner Park. With boundaries of similar dimensions to Eden Park in Auckland, sixes tend to be the rule rather than the exception. But Maxwell's interventions helped ensure that those big hits were somewhat curtailed. His first catch, diving forward to get game-three centurion Shai Hope, was excellent in itself. The second, leaping up to pluck Roston Chase as though picking an apple from a high tree branch, was gloriously nonchalant. These two were merely scene-setters, however, for the exit of Romario Shepherd. Leaning back to pummel Adam Zampa down the ground, Shepherd looked satisfied that he'd hit a six. The ball had maybe a couple more inches to travel over the rope when it was intercepted by a flying Maxwell, who kept his foot inside the boundary and flicked the ball to Green before sprawling over the line. The umpire's check confirmed a sublime bit of athleticism and timing. Rain stopped the West Indies innings with four balls left at 9-203, but play resumed after 55 minutes without any overs deducted. Nathan Ellis, best of the Australian bowlers with figures of 0-21 from his four overs, conceded just two runs from those four balls. After Inglis and Maxwell had their say with the bat, the Australians subsided briefly with the loss of 3-5 in 10 balls. David had been rested in recognition that he is still recovering from a serious hamstring injury, and this gave Hardie and Bartlett the opportunity to accompany Green to the finish line. Bartlett was unluckily out when a straight drive hit the stumps via Shepherd's hand while he was backing up, before Green and Sean Abbott ended the game with four balls to spare – just as the rain returned. Loading This was another major reverse for the West Indies, who struggled against Australia in the Test series but have shown even more weakness in T20, which had once been the region's strength. No batter got past 31 in this game, while the fielding was often desultory at best. With 11 runs still required, Sherfaine Rutherford dropped Green on the boundary. Australia will duly have the opportunity to complete an unbeaten tour of the Caribbean in the final game on Tuesday morning, before another white-ball series against South Africa on home soil in August.

Stokes blasts century but India still frustrate England
Ben Stokes hit another century. Chris Woakes was in sight of a hat-trick before he'd even completed the first over of India's second innings. The fourth day of the fourth Test at Old Trafford certainly started with a bang. So much so that by lunch, and with the visitors 2-1 and 310 runs behind, there seemed the genuine possibility that England could claim a series-clinching victory on Saturday without the need of going to the final day. But given the way this thrilling and feisty series has gone, India were never likely to go down without a fight. The odds are still stacked against the visitors holding out for a draw in Manchester. But through the stubborn stand of KL Rahul (87 not out) and Shubman Gill (78 not out), they were given hope of salvaging something from the Test and the five-match series as a whole, which England lead 2-1. India ended the day on 2-174 and trailing by 137 after frustrating the hosts, and with some rain forecast for Sunday, England may run out of time to seal a win that looked so likely earlier in the day. Stokes scored his 14th Test century as England ran up a 311-run innings lead to seemingly put it in complete control. A score of 141 continued his brilliant all-round performance after taking five wickets in India's first innings. With his ton, the 34-year-old England captain became his country's fourth player to get five wickets and a century in a Test. Having resumed on 7-544, England were determined to pile the pressure on India, reaching 669 all out. Stokes's spectacular batting enthralled the crowd as he scored his first Test century in two years with the help of three sixes. He was eventually caught by Sai Sudharsan off Ravindra Jadeja, who finished the innings with four wickets. The end of the morning session could hardly have gone worse for India. Yashasvi Jaiswal went for a duck after just four balls, caught by Joe Root off Woakes. And Woakes immediately struck again, to give himself a chance of a hat-trick, when Sudharsan went for a golden duck, caught by Harry Brook. At 1-2 at lunch, it looked like being a painful rest of the day for India, but through Rahul and Gill they rallied to 2-86 at tea. A resilient second session included a fourth 50 of the series for Gill. India grew in confidence as the partnership of the two leading run-scorers in the series looked immovable through the evening session, with Rahul emulating Gill by also reaching a fourth 50 of the series.

WA to be thunderstruck as AC/DC, Ed Sheeran, Ashes and WWE head to town from September
Bryan Adams might well claim the summer of '69 as the greatest, the summer of 2025 in WA is shaping as one to remember for sporting and musical diehards. AC/DC, Metallica, Ed Sheeran, the Ashes, and WWE are just some of the events scheduled for Optus Stadium and RAC Arena from September through to the end of January. Tourism representatives and the State Government this week salivated at the potential economic and social spinoffs to WA because the events. 'We want WA to remain the strongest economy in the nation. That's why we're diversifying our economy for the future by bringing big-name events to Perth that will attract thousands of visitors and pump millions into the local economy,' Acting Premier Rita Saffioti said. 'For every dollar spent on these events, we have a return of $3.50 — that's money going straight into the pockets of WA businesses. 'Importantly, these events put us on the global stage, positioning WA as an event destination. 'WA's summer of entertainment is going to be huge — and with a great line up to look forward to, there's something for everyone.' Optus Stadium chief executive Mike McKenna said the venue was preparing for its biggest ever summer, which followed its biggest ever month in June. 'From October to March, Optus Stadium will host concerts featuring three huge acts, the return of the blockbuster Bledisloe Cup, the hotly anticipated first Test of the NRMA Insurance Men's Ashes series, a One Day International between Australia and India and another big BBL season,' he said. 'Before the 2026 winter AFL season commences, the AFC Asian Women's Cup kicks off with the opening game at the Stadium, along with a semi final match.' Mr McKenna said Optus would stage some massive concerts in coming months. 'The stadium will transition to concert mode when heavy metal band Metallica brings their signature sound on November 1 as part of the M72 World Tour, with special guests Evanescence and Suicidal Tendencies,' Mr McKenna said. 'This will be Metallica's first visit to Australia in a decade and tickets have already sold out. 'AC/DC will then bring their global Power Up tour to the stadium . . . delivering a career spanning setlist packed with iconic anthems like Stadium favourite Thunderstruck. 'As soon as the BBL season ends, we will welcome global singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran back to Optus Stadium for the third time on January 31, 2026, as part of the Loop Tour.' Tourism WA managing director Anneke Brown said .enticing big events to Perth was part of 'a plan to grow the WA tourism sector'. 'Events are a key part of our plan to grow the WA tourism sector, as they drive bookings to our Dream State, add vibrancy to a destination and drive awareness of Western Australia as an incredible holiday and events destination through media coverage,' she said. Tourism Council WA boss Evan Hall said not all events were money spinners, but some were big economic boons for the State. 'For every 1000 interstate fans we entice to WA for major tourism events we create an additional $2.5M in the economy creating more than 15 jobs,' he said.
