Justin Greaves made an unbeaten 202 in a 230-run partnership with Kemar Roach as the West Indies won an endurance contest against a threadbare New Zealand attack Saturday to draw the first test after being set 531 to win. The West Indies’ second innings of 457-6 was the highest fourth-innings score since tests have been limited to five days.

The Formula 1 title fight is Lando Norris' to lose, and he doesn't look like losing. The British driver went fastest in both of Friday's (December 5, 2025) practice sessions as he laid down a marker ahead of the three-way title decider at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Norris beat title rival Max Verstappen by just 0.008 of a second in the first session and stretched that gap over the Red Bull driver to 0.363 in the second, which was more representative of the day-night conditions for Sunday's race. The only way Norris can lose the title is if he finishes the race outside the top three. Norris leads Verstappen by 12 points and teammate Oscar Piastri by 16. Norris and Piastri are each looking to win their first title and Verstappen is aiming for his fifth in a row.

Australia built a 44-run first-innings lead after two days of the second Ashes Test, with the top order all getting starts Friday (December 5, 2025) to help the hosts reach 378 for 6 at stumps. Five dropped catches and some wayward bowling dented England's momentum, and allowed Australia's batters to capitalize. Opener Jake Weatherald led from the start of Australia's innings with 72 from 78 balls, Marnus Labuschagne (65) completed back-to-back half centuries, and stand-in skipper Steve Smith made 61 as bat dominated ball despite some uneven bounce at the Gabba.
