Rajasthan Royals 192 for 9 (Watson 52, Yusuf 45, Maharoof 3-34) beat Delhi Daredevils 87 (Dilshan 33, Watson 3-10, Munaf 3-17) by 105 runs

Australia captain Ricky Ponting became the seventh batsman to make 10,000 Test runs as his side dominated the first day of the second Test in Antigua.

Defending champion Rafael Nadal and world number three Novak Djokovic eased into the last 16 of the French Open.

Aaron Redmond hit his sixth first-class hundred to steer New Zealand to 329-8 on the first day of their three-day tour match at Northamptonshire.

Sisters Venus and Serena Williams both crashed out of the French Open after suffering surprise third-round defeats.

Padraig Harrington will miss his first halfway cut in Europe for 19 months on the Wales Open's new Ryder Cup course.

The Open champion shot a second-round 74 at The Celtic Manor to slump to two over par and Harrington and bows out with Bradley Dredge and Oliver Wilson.

Harrington said: "I don't like missing any cuts - it's pride - but it will make me more disciplined."

Australian Scott Strange leads the chasing pack by four shots with Robert Karlsson one shot further back.
