Speaker 1 (00:01):
While you were sleeping. Good morning, Craig, thanks so much
what happened while you were sleeping. The English cricket team
have had a rejig of their side to meet Sri
Lanka in three tests. Matthew Potts is in as an
extra Seema since Ben Stokes has been ruled out with
a hamstring injury, and Olipope will be taking over the
captaincy in the absence of Stokes. The first Test starts

(00:23):
tomorrow in Manchester. And in cycling, KIWI sprint specialist Corbyn
Strong was sixth in the bunch finish at the welter
A Spaniards third stage, taking place in the east of Portugal.
The stage was won by Belgian Waut van Art. Kiwi's
George Bennett and Ruben Thompson are currently sixty seventh and

(00:44):
one hundred and sixty first overall. I'm sure it's a
lot warmer over that side of the world. And in tennis,
the Cincinnati Open final we'll see Arena Saberlenka vying for
her first title since the Australian Open. She's facing Jessica
Pegula this morning and KIWI player Erin Rutliffe was there

(01:05):
for the doubles and took out the title with partner
Asia Muhammad of the United States. Rutliff is of course
ranked as the world number one doubles player and the
current US Open doubles champ and this year's double Oh.
This year's US Open starts next week, so we'll see
how she goes there.
