D'arcy And Goran

Peter Burling and Blair Tuke have capped off day three of the 49er World Championship in Auckland in typical fashion.The Olympic champions are second after the final day of qualifying, a point behind Germany.Oscar Gunn and Logan Dunning Beck are sixth.Nacra 17 sailors Olivia Mackay and Jason SaThe scorecard doesn't always tell the full story but it shows Peter Burling and Blair Tuke in a strong position after the second day of the Hyundai 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 World Championships in Auckland.The pair banked two thirds, a first and an eighth in their four races to jump up from 11th to second in the 49er class, only one point behind Benjamin Bildstein and David Hussl of Austria.But the four-time world champions and defending Olympic champions had to claw their way back into a couple of races in sometimes treacherously shifty conditions.The breeze built around the middle of the day, climbing to about 15 knots, but died off completely in the late afternoon as the last 49er race was concluding.

While it will remain to be seen exactly what happens when he meets Kiwi lightweight Dan Hooker at UFC Auckland in February, Paul Felder can assure fans of one thing."Someone's getting hurt, I can tell you that. There will be blood, there will be blood."Felder and Hooker, ranked No 6 and 7 in the UFC lightweight division respectively, will face off in the main event of the UFC's return to Auckland on February 23 with more than simply another result on the line.For both fighters, it will be their first headline fight on a card and it's an important step in their overall goal of being considered for a title shot in the near future."If you want to get toward that title fight, I think one of the steps you've got to take is to main event something; to show you can headline something, you can sell it, you can be what they want to push toward that title fight," Felder told the Herald . "If you're just a boring fighter, can't sell anything and don't know how to hype it up, nobody wants to buy your product."Me and him

I honestly thought it was a couple more overs away."Taylor became the second New Zealander, after Stephen Fleming, to reach 7000 test runs as he finished unbeaten on 105, bringing up his 19th test century two balls before rain fell to end the test.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Black Caps have been hit by a double injury blow ahead of their second test against England, with Trent Boult and Colin de Grandhomme both being ruled out due to injury.Boult, who could only bowl one over on the final day of the Black Caps' win by an innings and 65 runs in Mount Maunganui, went for an MRI scan yesterday, which confirmed he had strained one of the muscles overlying his ribs on his right hand-side, but cleared him of any bone stress.He will miss the test starting on Friday at Seddon Park, as will de Grandhomme, who sustained a tear to his left lower abdominal muscle during the second innings, which saw him not bowl after lunch.The pair will begin rehabiliation with an aim to be fit for the Black Caps' first test against Australia in Perth on December 12, and Black Caps bowling coach Shane Jurgensen was hopeful both can recover in time."It's as good as what it could be, and hopefully they won't be out for too long."[Boult's injury] is quite a unique bowling injury that's not been seen much b
