Third test between Wallabies and British and Irish Lions delayed by lightning
SYDNEY (AP) — The third rugby test between Australia and the British and Irish Lions has been delayed by a severe lightning storm over Sydney on Saturday. Shortly after halftime with the Wallabies leading 8-0, and while play had been stopped for a serious head injury to Lions lock James Ryan, a match official entered the field and advised referee Nika Amashukeli to escort the players from the field. The big screen at Sydney's 90,000-seat Olympic Stadium displayed a message for spectators in rows 1 to 19 to immediately vacate their seats and seek cover on the lower concourses. Play was expected to resume at 9.50 p.m. local time. The visitors are 8-0 on their Australian tour and are seeking to be the first Lions squad to record an unbeaten tour since 1974. ___ AP rugby:

Bayern Munich midfielder Pavlovic fractures eye socket ahead of the new season
MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic's bad luck with injuries and illness seems to have struck again. The German champion said Saturday that Pavlovic has undergone surgery after fracturing his eye socket in a team training session Friday. Bayern didn't say exactly how the injury happened or how long Pavlovic would be out, just that he 'is facing a spell on the sidelines.' The 21-year-old Pavlovic is considered one of world soccer's best young defensive midfielders but has already racked up a list of absences for sometimes-unusual injuries and illness. Pavlovic struggled with tonsillitis in his breakthrough 2023-24 season and was ruled out of Germany's team for Euro 2024 with illness. Last season, he had spells out with a collarbone fracture and glandular fever. Bayern's season starts Aug. 16 against Stuttgart in the German Super Cup. ___ AP soccer:
