    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.

    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.

    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.
