India v South Africa: Tourists battle to avoid defeat in Delhi Test

India require eight wickets on the final day to seal a 3-0 Test series win after South Africa closed on 72-2 in pursuit of a remote 481 in Delhi.

Ajinkya Rahane became the fifth Indian to score centuries in both innings of a Test match as they declared on 267-5.

In reply, captain Hashim Amla (23 not out) took 46 balls to score a run, as South Africa made 72 in as many overs.

A 300-plus target has been reached just once on Indian soil, when the home team struck 387-4 to defeat England in 2008.

India resumed 403 runs ahead on 190-4 but skipper Virat Kohli added only five runs to his overnight 83 before a low Kyle Abbott delivery trapped him leg before to end the only century partnership of the series at 154.

Rahane, the only centurion of the series, was not to be denied another hundred, however.

The 27-year-old slog-swept Imran Tahir over mid-wicket for his second six of the innings and flicked Dean Elgar for another to move into the 90s.

He joined Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar (three times), Rahul Dravid (twice) and Kohli as the only India batsman to reach three figures twice in the same Test match.

South Africa blocked resolutely after left-hander Elgar was caught at slip in the fifth over, with India spinner Ravi Jadeja conceding only 10 runs from his 23 overs.

The usually destructive AB de Villiers maintained the team tactic, using 33 balls to score his first run.

His partnership with the captain did not produce a single run in the first 10 overs, but both batsmen survived to retain their team's hopes of avoiding defeat.

A 3-0 series victory for India would put them second in the world rankings behind the South Africans, who will lose top spot if they lose their next Test series at home to England, which begins on 26 December.

Tiger Woods will explain marriage mistakes to his kids

Tiger Woods says he has a fantastic relationship with his former wife and will be the one to explain to his children the reasons for their divorce.

Woods and Elin Nordegren split in 2009 after he admitted to a number of affairs and the pair's six-year marriage came to an end in 2010.

The pair have two children, daughter Sam, eight, and son Charlie, six.

"I want it to come from me so that when they come of age, I'll just tell them the real story," said Woods.

"I've taken the initiative with the kids and told them up front, 'guys, the reason why we're not in the same house, why we don't live under the same roof is because daddy made some mistakes'.

"I just want them to understand before they get to internet age and they log on to something or have their friends tell them something."

Manu Tuilagi: Leicester Tigers centre agrees new contract

England centre Manu Tuilagi has agreed a new contract with Leicester Tigers, BBC Radio Leicester reports.

Tuilagi, who was set to be out of contract next summer, had been linked with moves to several clubs, including Saracens, Worcester and Toulouse.

He has been out with a groin injury for 13 months, ruling him out of the World Cup, but is now close to a return.

The 24-year-old has won 25 caps for England, having made his debut against Wales in August 2011.

Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill had previously said he believed rivals were offering "huge amounts of money" to lure the Samoa-born back away from the club.

Worcester had been reported to have offered him £1.6m over three years, although those rumours were subsequently denied by Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan.

Alex Lees: Yorkshire Vikings appoint new one-day captain

Yorkshire batsman Alex Lees has been appointed as the county's captain for 50-over and Twenty20 cricket.

The 22-year-old will be the White Rose's youngest skipper since limited-overs games were introduced in 1963.

Lees led the side for the last few games of last season after Championship skipper Andrew Gale stood down.

"After considering a number of candidates, we feel Alex is the right fit for us as captain," coach Jason Gillespie told the county's website.

"He learnt a lot on the job last season and we think he can develop as a leader further. We are delighted to afford him this opportunity and believe that he will do a fantastic job for our club."

David Lloyd wants change at 'poor' LTA after Andy Murray criticism

British tennis is "a mess" and the Lawn Tennis Association must make changes, says former player David Lloyd.

He added that "the buck must stop" with LTA chief executive Michael Downey, who he says has done "a poor job".

Following Great Britain's Davis Cup victory, Andy Murray said that speaking to the LTA about the future of British tennis is a waste of his time.

"The LTA do not run the game very well. They haven't for many, many, many years," Lloyd told BBC World Service.

"They have poor management, poor systems."

The former Davis Cup captain and successful businessman said the LTA had invested millions "but not in the right places".

LTA boss Downey said in a statement on Tuesday: "We value the opinions of all of our players on how we grow the game in Britain and our door is always open to Andy, Dan [Evans], Dom [Inglot], James [Ward], Jamie [Murray] and Kyle [Edmund] to hear their views and work collaboratively with them and all of our partners."

Eddie Jones: Visa wait prevents England coach taking office

Eddie Jones has been delayed in taking up office as England head coach because he is waiting for a work visa.

Jones, appointed as the replacement for Stuart Lancaster on 20 November, was scheduled to begin work on Tuesday.

The Australian has been able to start carrying out his duties, but is having to do so from Tokyo because his visa application is still being processed.

Rugby Football Union officials hope that Jones' paperwork will be approved before the end of the week.

Jones, who coached Japan at the recent World Cup, was able to attend a press conference at Twickenham on the day of his appointment because he had a visitor's permit to enter the UK.

The 55-year-old then travelled to Los Angeles to carry out work for World Rugby, the game's global governing body, at a conference for tier two nations, before returning home to Japan, where he has been waiting to be granted a visa.

To take up the England job, he left his role as head coach of South African franchise the Stormers - who he only joined in September.

Before that, Jones led Japan to a shock victory over South Africa at this year's World Cup, having guided Australia to the 2003 final before helping South Africa win the 2007 tournament by working as their technical director.

Bath coach Mike Ford unsurprised by Neal Hatley England job links

Bath rugby head coach Mike Ford says he is unsurprised the club's forwards coach Neal Hatley is being linked to a role with England.

New England boss Eddie Jones is in the process of recruiting his backroom staff, with Hatley linked to a role as scrum coach.

"Our scrum is one of the best in Europe," Ford told BBC Points West.

"So no, it does not surprise me he is being linked with an international position."

Under Hatley's guidance, Bath's scrum has become one of the most feared in the Premiership, with the club also reaching the domestic final last season.

"I think the proof is in the pudding and he has been outstanding," added Ford.

"We all know how much work he does on scrum analysis and he finds ways of making them a better scrumager."

However, Ford warned that a role with England would not necessarily be a good career move for Hatley, who signed a new four-year contract at the club in September,

"I think I've got great experience of being an assistant coach with England and it's not necessarily the next step," he said.

"Neal is also in charge of our defence and is developing here and his ultimate ambition is to be head coach of an organisation somewhere down the line.

"So you have to be careful that if you go back to being a specialist coach for only 10 games a year, it's not necessarily the best step for you."
