It’s hard to tell, but the video referee has spotted a knock-on.

No try, and that’s all she wrote. Australia end this terrific run of results from the Six Nation champions. A big win on home soil, and what a terrific series we have in store now!

80 + 1 min: Ireland win the lineout and work a short move. Two good forward hit outs, has Stander got over the line?

We go upstairs, they check multiple angles. Has the South African-born forward got over, or has there been a knock on?

34th over: England 97-7 (Brunt 18, Shrubsole 7) Right, van Niekerk is now over the wicket. When she gets on strike, Brunt plays a solid sweep behind square, collected by the sweeper after a couple are added. She tries it again but doens’t beat the fielder on the circle at the 45. The veteran right-hander done the tough yards, now 48 balls into her innings, but has to take full advantage now and bat for the majority of the remaining overs.

33rd over: England 93-7 (Brunt 16, Shrubsole 6) Khaka’s back with three England wickets on the shelf, so notionally there is a 6fa sitting there for her. Not this over, though. “A lot of teams can get from 90-7 to 170,” observes Charlotte Edwards. “This is where you have to be ruthless as a fielding captain.” As she says that, Shrubsole clips a lovely shot through midwicket for three. Would have been four if not for an excellent dive from Tryon. “It’s a good sign for England,” Lottie continues. “If they can get to 160 they are definitely in this game.” Interesting.

• Warriors cap sweep of Cavaliers for second straight NBA title
• Kevin Durant repeats as Most Valuable Player of NBA finals
• Soon a free agent, LeBron James expected to leave Cavaliers

Early Saturday morning, Kevin Durant sat in a room beneath the Quicken Loans Arena stands. Before him sat the golden trophy given to the Most Valuable Player of the NBA finals, an award he has now won twice in a row, and said he could care less about having. His shirt was soaked, he smelled of champagne. He was happy.

His Golden State Warriors had just won the NBA championship, sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers with a 108-85 Game 4 victory earlier on Friday night. It was their third title in four years, and their second in a row since a Warriors contingent convinced him to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder to build a selfless dynasty built on trust rather than fame.
