An Oghenekaro Etebo own goal and a second-half Luka Modric penalty was enough for Croatia to go top of Group D in Kaliningrad

10.03pm BST

That was the definition of a routine win for Croatia, with Modric sealing victory with that ice-cool second-half penalty. Straightforward stuff but Nigeria were desperately mediocre; food for thought for Gernot Rohr. Croatia will certainly have to up the ante against a team like Argentina (on Thursday) but, as they say, you can only beat what’s in front of you and they are a classy, professional side. Nigeria take on Iceland on Friday, with anything other than victory bound to end their journey in Russia. Thanks for your company at the end of a jam-packed Super Saturday. Shaun Walker’s report from Kaliningrad will be here shortly.

Croatia go top of Group D after breezing beyond Nigeria in Kaliningrad. That was pretty uneventful, but they cannot all be Friday-night good, can they?

News of Rickie Fowler, who is having an absolute shocker today. Not necessarily of Mickelsonesque proportions, but still. Out in 41, after two bogeys and two doubles, he’s just trebled 10. He’s crashed down the standings to +11. Meanwhile on 9, Justin Rose comes up short, and leaves himself stuck on the bank, in sticky fescue. He punches up to six feet, but pushes his par saver to the right. He’s +2. Stenson pars to remain in the lead at level. And Dustin’s woes continue on 8: he’s crashed his drive down the centre of the fairway, but chipping into the wind, leaves his approach on the false front of the green, and his ball topples back down the fairway. Work to save his par.

So now it’s official: it’s Dustin Johnson meltdown time! He leaves his 50-foot uphill putt seven feet short, then pulls the par putt left. His four-shot lead at the halfway mark has gone within seven holes! Henrik Stenson is now the sole leader of the US Open. Meanwhile another dropped shot for Ian Poulter, who pushes a six-foot par putt wide right. He’s +5.

E: Stenson (8)
+1: Koepka (9), Rose (8), D Johnson (7)

One hundred and twenty-six days have now elapsed since England last won a game of Test rugby and the long wait goes on. In terms of this series the clock has already stopped ticking, South Africa having taken an unsurpassable 2-0 lead with one left to play in Cape Town on Saturday. Five Test defeats in a row and counting is the starkest English statistic of all.

It is a grim sequence that Eddie Jones, his coaches and players, for all their hard work, seem depressingly unable to shake. Again they threw away an excellent start, losing momentum, discipline and, gradually, belief as the Springboks dished out a lesson in directness, execution and collective desire. This is far from the greatest South Africa team of all time but they have still been consistently too strong for England.

England won a long, rain-soaked, run-soaked one-day international by 38 runs. Despite posting their highest ever one-day score against Australia it was a close run thing. Shaun Marsh, who suddenly became “Glamorgan’s Marsh” as the day progressed, produced a magnificent innings of 131 but England clung on to enough vital late-evening catches to take a 2-0 lead in the series. This was Australia’s seventh defeat in eight matches yet this was a spirited chase on an excellent surface.

Marsh cruised to his fourth ODI century and his partnership of 96 with his fellow West Australian Ashton Agar gave his team a chance of registering their highest ever successful run chase. It was looking bleak for England as Liam Plunkett ran in to bowl the 46th over, especially after Moeen Ali had spilt a very tricky chance running backwards. Australia needed 51 runs with four wickets left. Then Tim Paine pulled a slow bouncer straight to Adil Rashid at fine-leg. Two balls later Plunkett bowled Marsh and the match was safe.

A landmark day for Peru, who returned to the World Cup finals for the first time since 1982, ended with a sobering reminder of just how cruel football can be at times. Yussuf Poulsen scored the goal that broke Peru hearts on a night that turned into a personal ordeal for Christian Cueva, who had to be consoled by his teammates after his awful penalty, which was awarded following a pitchside review by the referee, sailed wildly over the bar just before half-time.

Cueva struggled to keep his emotions together at the time as he fought back tears and the midfielder was still shaking his head at the final whistle, along with plenty of other Peru players, as the team whose colourful supporters have travelled to Russia in such huge numbers, capturing the imagination of people from all over the world, struggled to come to terms with a chastening defeat.

Carlos Carrasco has some of the worst luck in baseball as he has been hit three different times in his career with line drives.

Errol Spence Jr. looks to keep his date with destiny versus Terence Crawford intact with a win over Carlos Ocampo.
