Misery for Murray.

Andy Nurray fought like a tiger in his Australia Open Tennis semi-final match in Melbourne against Novak Djokovic.. In the end he fell just short. Djokovic won in five sets. The match last 4hrs and 50 mins and both men appeared shattered at the end.  

Panesar in Paradise

Monty Panesar took 3 for 44 in a fine 25 over spell in Pakistan's 2nd innings in the second test of three in Abu Dhabi. At one stage Pakistan were 54 for 4 but recovered slightly to 125 for 4 at the close; a lead of 50. Earlier in the day England's tail-end batsmen helped England's score up to 327. Stuart Broad starred with a fine 58 not out. England will need to press on tomorrow and take the remaining Pakistan wickets for as few runs as possible; they will not want to be chasing more than about 150 on this pitch.

 McIlroy in mighty tussle with Tiger

Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods are both 5 under in the season's first big golf tournament, the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship. Both are two shots off the lead, which is held by Thorbjorn Olesen. McIlroy incurred a two shot penalty for clearing bunker sand out his line to the hole, however you can only do that if your ball is on the green.
