1. New Zealand crushed India by 244 runs in the fourth ODI at Mount Maunganui, keeping alive their hopes of levelling the five-match series, which India lead 2-1. Chasing 334, India were bowled out for 89 as Matt Henry took 6 for 27, removing Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and captain Shreyas Iyer for ducks in the first over. Ishan Kishan top-scored with 27, after Will Young’s 125 had lifted New Zealand to 333.
2. Eighth seed Lakshya Sen beat Japan’s Yushi Tanaka 21-16, 21-15 to reach the semi-finals of the Kumamoto Masters Japan Super 500 badminton tournament, where he will face Indonesia’s Alwi Farhan. Lakshya needs a top-eight place in the BWF World Tour rankings to qualify for the World Tour Finals. Kidambi Srikanth lost 22-24, 15-21 to Japan’s Koki Watanabe after leading 12-5 in the second game.
3. Boxer Gunjan won the women’s 48kg gold at the Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, Senegal, beating Algeria’s Bouthaina Bensalah 5-0 to become the first Indian woman boxer to win a Youth Olympic gold. With Lairenlakpam Ambekar Meetei’s 50kg gold, India’s two-member boxing team won gold in both events; India’s only earlier Youth Olympic boxing medals came in 2010.
4. At the Total Chess World Championship Tour Pilot in Budapest, world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen lost a group-stage game for the first time in the event, going down to Armenia’s Haik Martirosyan in 41 moves, before drawing the return game. Fabiano Caruana beat Vincent Keymer and then drew, and after the first game Carlsen’s lead over him in the live ratings had shrunk to nine points. Arjun Erigaisi beat Wesley So and drew, R. Praggnanandhaa drew twice with Vladislav Artemiev, and R. Vaishali lost to Bibisara Assaubayeva before beating her.
5. Debutant fast bowler Mahli Beardman took 6 for 24 as Australia beat England by seven wickets in the first ODI in Perth. England were bowled out for 131, and Australia reached 132 for 3 in 23.3 overs with captain Mitchell Marsh scoring a quick fifty. The match was played amid a row over Usman Khawaja’s claims about the 2018 ‘Sandpapergate’ ball-tampering, which Pat Cummins called “100% wrong”.
6. A formal objection has been filed against the inclusion of Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president P.T. Usha in the electoral roll for the IOA elections. She was nominated by the Ice Hockey Association of India after finishing fifth among six candidates in the women’s Sportspersons of Merit poll. Advocate Atul Kumar asked the returning officer to check whether she meets the membership qualification.
