BOXING!

· As the boxing season came to a close, Amir Khan superbly KO’s Zab Judah in the 5th Round of their unification bout in Las Vegas to add the IBF belt to his own WBA strap.

· After a gruelling 12 rounder, Tyson Fury relieves Dereck Chisora of his British and Commonwealth Heavyweight belts by unanimous decision.


FORMULA ONE!

· After claiming a brilliant 2nd place in qualifying, Lewis Hamilton leap-frogged Mark Webber to win the Nurburgring Grand Prix.

· Having led most of the race at the Hungaroring however, Lewis Hamilton opted for intermediate tyres at an inopportune moment to allow his team-mate Jenson Button victory at the circuit where he first won. Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel rounded off the podium spots in a superb advert for F1.


CRICKET!

· Having outplayed them, England went 1-0 up in the Test Match Series versus India after brilliant contributions from Kevin Pietersen and Stuart Broad at Lord’s.

· Following this up, they then thoroughly dominated India in the 2nd innings to post a whopping 544 with Ian Bell scoring a great century, marred by a controversial run out incident. Morgan, Pietersen, Bresnan and Prior also contributed half centuries after Stuart Broad had taken a hat-trick in India’s first innings. Sachin Tendulkar managed 56 as India stumped their way to a heavy defeat.
