    Devon Conway's made an unbeaten 261 as part of Wellington's 415 for six on the opening day of their Plunket Shield cricket match against Canterbury at the Basin Reserve.



    Colin Munro's cautious to draw too many conclusions from the New Zealand XI's eight-wicket win over England in their Twenty20 warm-up at Lincoln.

    He's been the architect of the victory with 107 off 57 balls, chasing down England's 188 for five with nine balls to spare.

    Munro says England experimented with different tactics ahead of the five-match international series starting Friday.

    Shaun Johnson will watch this weekend's Kiwis test with Great Britain from the stands.

    He's been dropped after the loss to the Kangaroos in Wollongong.

    South African wing Cheslin Kolbe's expected to be fit for Saturday night's rugby World Cup final after missing the semi with a recurring ankle injury.

    In contrast, referee Nigel Owens was ruled out of contention due to a calf injury suffered during the All Blacks' loss to England - Jerome Garces will take the whistle.



    The Bulgarian football team have been ordered to play their next competitive home match behind closed doors and pay a $131,000 fine after European governing body UEFA found their supporters guilty of racist abuse.
