MEN’S CRICKET: England start their three-match Test series against New Zealand at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch tomorrow evening.

The tourists arrive on the back of suffering a 2-1 series defeat to Pakistan back in October whereas the Kiwis sealed an historic 3-0 whitewash over India earlier this month.

That result looks even better after the Indians thrashed world number ones Australia by 295 runs in Perth on Monday.

NETBALL: Jamaica edged out England 50-49 in Kingston on Tuesday morning to tie the four-match series at 1-1 with one match drawn.

Jamaica led 26-23 at half-time after England made an error-strewn start but were pegged back to 49-49 in the last minute of the game.

Just as she did in last week’s 49-49 draw in Manchester, Jamaica’s Shanice Beckford scored the deciding goal with seconds left on the clock.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: Kristaps Porzingis scored 16 points on his season debut as NBA defending champions Boston Celtics swept aside the LA Clippers 126-94 on Tuesday morning.

Cleveland still have the best record across the competition with one loss in 18 games after seeing off Toronto 122-108, Oklahoma City kept up their good start with a 130-109 win in Sacramento but Golden State slumped to 128-120 defeat against the Brooklyn Nets.

MEN’S FOOTBALL: Champions League action continues tomorrow evening with Liverpool taking the competition’s only 100 per cent record into their game with Real Madrid at Anfield.

The Spanish club will be without Vinicius Junior due to a hamstring injury.

Tonight’s fixtures include Aston Villa hosting Juventus, high-flying Monaco against Benfica, Celtic facing Club Brugge and Bologna, who have yet to score, against Lille.
