    George Bennett faces the biggest test of his professional cycling career this year.

    The 30-year-old will spearhead his Jumbo-Visma team's challenge at May's Giro d'Italia grand tour.

    Bennett finished eighth in yesterday's 164-kilometre Gravel-and-Tar race in Manawatu.



    Mark Chapman's 73 from 34 balls has helped Auckland to their first win of cricket's T20 Super Smash against Central Districts at Eden Park outer oval.

    England's James Anderson has taken six wickets for 40 to dismiss Sri Lanka for 381 on the second day of the second cricket test at Galle.

    His figures are the best in 107 years by a pace bowler aged 38 or older.

    The hosts are 98 for two in reply.

    Aegon, ridden by Leith Innes and trained by Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman, has kept his perfect record intact with a win in the Karaka Million three-year-old Classic raced over 1600 metres at Ellerslie.

    Rower Mahe Drysdale will line up on the Whanganui River this morning for what may be his last Billy Webb Challenge.

    The annual five-kilometre race commemorates Webb's single sculling world champion title defence in 1908.
