Key Points

Durham tightened their grip at the top of Division Two on the last day of action before the County Championship takes a two-month hiatusAnd, oh, what is that? Billy Root called for the run, Tribe started, but then went back and somehow they both ended up at the non-striker’s end. A furious Root stalks off, run out 0.

And, oh, what is that? Horrendous running. Billy Root called for the run, Tribe started, but then went back and somehow they both ended up at the non-striker’s end. A furious Root stalks off, run out 0. Glamorgan 0-1.

I was going to say it was weird how Tom Lawes was allowed to swap for Atkinson despite being a much better batter but in fact they average almost exactly the same, 19.something. This game is skipping away from Glamorgan – the lead 189. It should be enough but….The last pair have now added 99 – the lead 189 over Surrey.

Draper defeats Marcos Giron 6-4, 7-6 (5) in first roundMurray in player box alongside fellow coach TrotmanAn amusing question at the beginning of this new, hopeful chapter in Jack Draper’s career was tendered to the 24-year-old without hesitation before his return to competition in Eastbourne this week. In the heat of a dispiriting, stressful battle on court, when things are going badly and he might need to discharge some of his tension, would he ever allow himself to scream at Andy...

Irrepressible Messi breaks World Cup scoring record as Argentina beat Austria

It had to be Lionel Messi, it had to be on this day and perhaps it even needed to be in Dallas too. History was made in the way he knows best, a clinical left-footed flourish setting him out on his own as the World Cup’s highest goalscorer of all time. Another followed with the game’s final action and at this rate 18 may even seem a modest figure a month from now.
