Ajinkya Rahane finished unbeaten on 108 as India A went to stumps at Sydney’s Drummoyne Oval after the first day of a tour match against Australia A on Sunday on 237 for eight. The match features many of the players expected to take part in the four-test series beginning in Adelaide on Dec. 17 and continuing in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane over the next month. The right-handed Rahane was consistent throughout his 227-ball innings, fighting through a tough period early before driving superbly through the covers and cutting when given width.

UFC on ESPN 19: Marvin Vettori post-fight interview

Some late, breaking news for the Cincinnati Bengals ahead of Week 13.

Peter Alliss, the long-time BBC commentator known as “The Voice of Golf”, has died aged 89. The news will be met with great sorrow across the world’s fairways and British living rooms alike. Alliss was synonymous with golf in the country, with his mellifluous tones and off-the-cuff comments. A fine player in his own regard — Alliss won more than 20 tournaments and played in eight Ryder Cups — there can be no doubting that after he hung up his spikes in the 70s, he found his natural home in the booth, establishing himself alongside other legends such as Bill McLaren, Murray Walker, Richie Benaud and Dan Maskell. Yet in terms of the booth, Alliss outlasted them all, commentating on last month’s Masters. Alliss actually performed those duties from his home in Hindhead, Surrey, because of the pandemic and his own failing health. The father of six was hospitalised in September, but the speed of his demise still came a shock. Next year was to be his 60th year in broadcasting and he was expected to retire after the Ryder Cup. Peter Alliss interview: The ‘Voice of Golf’ on playing in the last Open at Portrush — in 1951 A statement on behalf of the Alliss family read: “It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of golfing and broadcast legend, Peter Alliss. Peter’s death was unexpected but peaceful. Peter was a devoted husband, father and grandfather and his family ask for privacy at this difficult time. Alliss’s broadcasting career with the BBC began in 1961. Director of BBC Sport, Barbara Slater said: “Peter was the voice of golf. He was an absolute master of his craft with a unique ability to capture a moment with a magical turn of phrase that no one else could match. “Just last month, at the incredible age of 89, he was doing what he loved: commentating for the BBC on the Masters Golf. He transcended his sport as one of the greatest broadcasters of his generation. He will be terribly missed and our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues at this very sad time.” Keith Pelley, Chief Executive Officer of the European Tour, said: “We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Peter Alliss, truly one of golf’s greats. Peter made an indelible mark on everything he did in our game, but especially as a player and a broadcaster, and he leaves a remarkable legacy. Our thoughts are with his wife Jackie and the Alliss family.”

Lyndon Arthur produced the performance of his career to claim a 12-round split decision triumph over huge favourite Anthony Yarde and retain the Commonwealth light heavyweight championship on Saturday night. Arthur, now undefeated in 18 fights, dedicated the victory to his late brother Zennen, who was killed in a gangland shooting when he was 10 years old. The underdog won this second defence of his title with two judges scoring the fight to the Mancunian 115-114 with the third judge seeing the bout 117-111 in Yarde’s favour. It was a razor-tight, intense contest, with Arthur winning the battle of the jab, holding on through a torrid final round as Yarde finally made inroads, hurting the defending champion with his heavier punches. The success elevates Arthur’s standings in the world rankings given that Yarde was ranked No 9 by the World Boxing Council, No 12 by the International Boxing Federation and No 5 with the World Boxing Organisation. Arthur, who has a tattoo of his brother on his arm, explained to Telegraph Sport: “Boxing saved me, it got me off the streets. Where I grew up [in Moston], round there normal was stealing cars and selling whatever. Fighting was also the norm for an estate kid. I’m sure many boxers are just like me who got away from the estate.” He added: “I’m not saying I would be dead but I might have been. The situations me and my friends got into. I’ve lost my friends, they’ve died, been stabbed, run over and murdered. My brother died not 20 seconds from where I live. He got shot. I’ve seen it. Growing up around that it becomes normality. My point is you can easily get led into those things. There are still kids out there getting stabbed and in gangs.” Arthur wants his victory to deliver a wider message about the value of sport. “The boxing gym takes kids away from that [violence]. Whether they box or not, it gives them structure and discipline. Listening to a head coach, they learn to deal with authority better. Since I’ve been a kid no one likes authority. Life is about choices and if you were a teenager and you can choose to go to a gym, it can put you on a different direction. It saved me and I have huge respect for boxing. That’s my account. My brother would have loved to have seen this, but he will be looking down now thinking ‘wow, that’s my little brother.’” Yarde, for whom this was a second defeat in 22 fights, labelled the split decision “a robbery”. “I need to go back and watch it,” he said. “It’s boxing, you’re not going to go out there and be reckless. But from what I know happened in the ring, I was pressing the whole fight. I strongly feel that was a robbery. I don’t like to scream the word robbery, but I feel like I won the fight.” Arthur concurred that it was a close contest. “I thought it was close. If the points would have went on his side, I wouldn’t have said it was a robbery. But it went to me, so I’m not going to say that either.” Elsewhere on Saturday night, Errol Spence Jr made a winning return to the ring against Danny Garcia retaining his WBC and IBF welterweight belts via unanimous decision — 117-111, 116-112, 116-112 — in Arlington, Texas. Spence Jr was fighting for the first time since an horrific car accident in October 2019 which might have ended his career.
