On cricket, Australia have squared The Ashes series with a 405-run win in the Second Test at Lord’s, and with it, we’ve now seen a massive momentum swing in the series.

In other news, the Wallabies produced a heart-stopping, come-from-behind win over South Africa in Brisbane, this week’s ‘NRL Premiership Favourite’ is not quite as clear as last week, Hawthorn have one hand on the AFL cup, and in the biggest, scariest sporting moment of the weekend, Mick Fanning punched a shark.
