Cricket
South Africa hosted Australia in the second men's Test at Gqeberha on day five, with live coverage starting at 9.45am local (6.45pm AEDT/8.45am BST) on 22 October 2026.
The live updates invited reader emails and included a contribution from Simon D that said: "I’m a pom - living in Aberdeen for my sins - I’m not in the slightest bit bothered about the three way hit and giggle fest going on in Pakistan at the minute. But this... this is gripping. I bloody love Test cricket."
The coverage also noted two ODI tri-series were taking place concurrently, with England and Sri Lanka in Pakistan and Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe contesting a final in the UAE.
