2nd Test: Ben Stokes hails 'benchmark' win as England level series against South Africa

Old Trafford on Saturday. Victory by an innings and 85 runs, with more than two days to spare, brought England level in this three-match series at 1-1, following South Africa almost as dominant innings-and-12-run triumph at Lord's last week. England have won five of their six matches since Stokes succeeded Joe Root as skipper but this one was built on Test-match fundamentals rather than setting up a crowd-pleasing run-chase in the fourth innings. Stokes's men were on top from the start in Manchester, reducing South Africa to 77-5 before lunch on the first day after Proteas skipper Dean Elgar -- almost obliged to bat first having included a second spinner, Simon Harmer, -- won the toss. The Proteas were eventually dismissed for a meagre 151 in their first innings.

Women's National League: Shelbourne stay on summit as top four all win

Bohemians 2-5 Wexford Youths Lying just two points behind league leaders Shelbourne, Wexford came into this game knowing they are in a genuine title race and it took just 19 minutes for them to open their account at Dalymount Park. Ellen Molloy was played into the inside-left channel and slid the ball past Rachael Kelly with impressive calm. Wexford led by that single goal at the break with no hint of the frantic second half that was to follow. Kylie Murphy clattered a shot off the Bohs crossbar five minutes after the restart but it was Bohemians who scored next, Kira Bates-Crosbie heading home an equaliser 66 minutes in. But the home side's hopes were short lived and four minutes later Murphy swept Wexford back in to the lead after Molloy had created the opening. Three minutes after that Nicola Sinnott turned in a corner to make it 3-1. Lisa Murphy headed Bohs back into contention on 78 minutes but within two minutes Meabh Russell had made it 4-2 and in added time the visitors added a fifth through substitute Aine Walsh.
