Shark Tale

Again it's golf taking precedence over cricket with the third day's play at the Open Championship the event of tv choice.

Greg Norman continues his good form, and will enter the final round with a two-shot lead over defending champion Padraig Harrington at four shots over par. KJ Choi slips into a tie for second with Harrington, while the biggest mover of the day is Simon Wakefield whose level par 70 takes him to within three shots of the lead. It's another day on which the windy weather keeps scoring relatively modest, with Lee Westwood among those to drop out of contention after his round of 78 takes him to 17 over par.

To Headingley and England hit trouble on the second day of the second test against South Africa. The only victim claimed by England's bowling attack is the dubiously dismissed Hashim Amla, given out lbw by Daryl Harper off the bowling of Darren Pattinson for 38 despite replays showing that the ball would have missed leg stump by the length of Kevin Pietersen's ego. By stumps the Proteas had reached 322-4, a lead of 119 with Ashwell Prince a not out centurion and AB De Villiers providing great support in an unbeaten 70.

Super League shenannigans see a victory Leeds Rhinos in Perpignan. The 37-24 success sees them level again at the top of Super League with St.Helens, while Catalans Dragons' defeat leaves them now three points adrift of last year's Grand Final protagonists. Leeds win arrives courtesy of two tries from Ryan Hall and scores for Lee Smith, Rob Burrow, Danny McGuire, Ali Lauititi and Scott Donald. The French hit back through Olivier Elima's double aswell as scores from Cyril Stacul and Sebastien Raguin.

There's victory also for Warrington over Huddersfield Giants by just a single point. Leroy Cudjoe grabs a hat-trick of tries for the Giants but he and his team conspire to let slip an 18-6 lead to lose it on Lee Briers' late drop-goal. Wire now sit fourth, three points clear of fifth placed Wigan, although they are still six behind the third placed Dragons.
