South Africa beat Australia by five wickets to win World Test Championship
LONDON, June 14 (Reuters) - South Africa won the World Test Championship on Saturday, completing a remarkable turnaround to beat Australia by five wickets as they successfully chased down an imposing 282-run target. But it was an edgy finish as they took 27.4 overs to slowly score the 69 runs needed to secure success on the fourth day at Lord's after resuming at 213-2 overnight. In so doing, they completed a successful pursuit of the joint second-highest winning fourth-innings total in test history at the London venue. It was a first major cricket triumph for South Africa, who had earned an unwanted reputation for failure when on the cusp of victory over the last decades in limited overs competitions.

Glastonbury festival-goers warned over surge in highly infectious measles cases
Glastonbury festival-goers have been urged to check they are vaccinated for measles amid an increasing number of outbreaks of the highly infectious disease. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has warned that measles is 'circulating across the country and festivals are the perfect place for measles to spread'. There are 'ongoing outbreaks' of measles in a number of regions across England and in London, according to the UKHSA's June update. Cases have mainly been in unvaccinated children aged 10 years and under, however, there are reported cases in young people and adults. Glastonbury festival gets underway on 25th June and attracts families as well as other music fans. Dr Alasdair Wood, consultant in health protection at UKHSA South West told ITV: 'We want festival-goers to enjoy their time at Glastonbury and other festivals this year. 'Being aware of the current health risks will help those attending enjoy their time, as much as possible. 'Measles is circulating across the country, and festivals are the perfect place for measles to spread. If you're not fully vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella, please contact your GP to see if you can get an appointment before coming to the festival'. Dr Wood said the agency was also seeing an increase in cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), particularly affecting young people. He urged people to get tested early to detect any potential infections early. Measles cases are on the rise worldwide, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) reporting 127,350 cases in Europe in 2024. This was double the number of cases reported in 2023, and the highest number since 1997. Outbreaks have already been seen this year in France, Italy, Spain and Germany, with the UKHSA urging people to get vaccinated before they travel abroad. In England, there has been a decline in the uptake of childhood vaccinations, leaving many thousands of children unprotected. Dr Vanessa Saliba, consultant epidemiologist at the UKHSA, said: 'Measles spreads very easily and can be a nasty disease, leading to complications like ear and chest infections and inflammation of the brain with some children tragically ending up in hospital and suffering life-long consequences.' Glastonbury festival has sold a 'few thousand less tickets' this year in a bid to avoid overcrowding, organiser Emily Eavis revealed this week.

Emma Raducanu's Wimbledon preparations dealt blow after Berlin Open withdrawal
Injury-hit Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the Berlin Open, just over a fortnight out from the Wimbledon Championships. In the countdown to the HSBC Championships at Queen's, Raducanu had been managing a back problem, but it resurfaced during her 6-2, 6-4 quarter-final defeat by Zheng Qinwen on Friday. Against the powerful hitting of top seed Zheng, Raducanu had to call a medic to court between sets and had to leave the Andy Murray Arena to have strapping placed on her back. After the loss, Raducanu revealed she needed painkillers to get herself through the match. Prior to the injury, Raducanu had been planning to travel to Berlin, a grass-court tournament featuring nine of the world's top-10 players, in an attempt to boost her rankings for Wimbledon. Raducanu climbed to 36 in the world rankings following her progress to the quarter-finals at Queen's, but only the top 32 will be seeded at Wimbledon. By dropping out of Berlin, Raducanu will need a number of other players to withdraw to be awarded a coveted seeded spot at SW19. However, Telegraph Sport understands she will still be targeting a return to the grass ahead of Wimbledon at Eastbourne, which starts on June 21. When asked about her injury following the defeat to Zheng, Raducanu said: 'It's been lingering for the last few weeks, and I have had back issues before. It's just a vulnerability of mine. I know I need to take good care of it. I'm not overly concerned that it's something serious, but I know it's something that's very annoying.' She added: 'I have been struggling with my back since Strasbourg, and it's just been something that's been on and off. 'I have been managing it pretty well over the last few weeks, but I guess as the week goes on and I have played five matches now, like, even if two were doubles, I think, yeah, it just tests it out. And I just felt it, as the load goes up. They took me off court and taped it to give me some extra stability, and some painkillers.'
