NYT Connections today (game #1219) - the answers

The answers to today's Connections, game #1219, are…

• YELLOW: STATUS: CONDITION, SHAPE, SITUATION, STATE
• GREEN: TOLERATE: BEAR, HANDLE, STAND, WEATHER
• BLUE: WORD SHORTENINGS, OFTEN: ABBREVIATION, CONTRACTION, ELISION, NICKNAME
• PURPLE: WORDS MADE USING U.S. POSTAL ABBREVIATIONS: ALKYLAMIDE, CALAMARI, MANDARIN, MELAMINE

• My rating: Hard
• My score: Perfect

Living and growing up outside of the US put me at a disadvantage for today’s purple group — although I am still not sure I would have seen it even if I was based in the States. Kudos if you did.

I managed to get through without making any mistakes, but this was one of those games where I got by on hunches and luck and never had a strong hold on what the group categories might be.

ELISION was a word that I had not heard of before, but ABBREVIATION, CONTRACTION and NICKNAME all seemed to go together, so I took a chance. I have since discovered that it means “omission of one or more sounds, vowels, consonants, or whole syllables from a word or phrase to make speech faster and easier". Yes folks, it’s a good ‘un.

Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Sunday, October 11, 2026, game #1218)

• YELLOW: PUT TO USE: APPLY, HARNESS, UTILIZE, WIELD

NYT Strands today (game #953) - the answers

The answers to today's Strands, game #953, are…

• PARLANCE
• JARGON
• VERNACULAR
• LINGO
• DIALECT
• SPANGRAM: TURNOFPHRASE

• My rating: Easy
• My score: Perfect

Another easy game where I got the Spangram second (there are no prizes or badges for that, unfortunately). Very annoying, although I did appreciate how TURNOFPHRASE took a turn across the board.

I was expecting to find the word “slang” on the board, but made do with the non-game word “sling”. Instead, we had the many different ways in which languages can be described.

Personally, I think DIALECT is fascinating, particularly how someone in the same country can ask for a cup of coffee in a hundred different ways depending on where they come from

Wordle hints (game #1941) - clue #1 - Vowels

* Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too).

Wordle hints (game #1941) - clue #2 - first letter

Y is not a common starting letter at all. In fact, it's the third least common ahead of only Z and X!

Wordle hints (game #1941) - clue #3 - repeated letters

Repeated letters are quite common in the game, with 748 of the 2,309 Wordle answers containing one. However, it's still more likely that a Wordle doesn't have one.

Wordle hints (game #1941) - clue #4 - ending letter

L is a really common letter to find at the end of a Wordle. There are 155 games that finish with an L, and it ranks as the fifth most likely letter there.

If you don't want to know today's answer then DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER BECAUSE IT IS PRINTED BELOW. So don't say you weren't warned!

Today's Wordle answer (game #1941)

• NYT average score: 4.2
• My score: 3
• WordleBot's score: 4
• My skill score: 92
• My luck score: 60
• My start word performance: SANER (167 remaining answers)
• WordleBot's start word performance: SLATE (98)
• Tomorrow's start word: SANER

Today's Wordle answer (game #1941) is… YODEL.

Another day, another NYT addition to the Wordle word list. And another 3 for me but a 4 for the 'Bot — that's three wins in a row for me. In fact, I've only lost to it three times but have beaten it on four days in the past two weeks. Maybe I should swap jobs with it; I quite like the idea of my duties consisting of nothing more than making patronizing comments all day (my team would say I already do that, though).

YODEL is also another relatively tricky Wordle. It has an average of 4.2, placing it between yesterday's UNCAP (4.0) and Saturday's BUMPY (4.4) in the difficulty stakes.

The biggest complication is undoubtedly that Y at the start, because that's a really uncommon occurrence. In fact, Y is the letter with the biggest difference between its probability at the start and end of a word — it ranks second top at the end, but third bottom at the start, ahead of only Z and X.

As you might guess, there are no games in which X is the lead letter, while Z turns up there three times among the 2,309 original solutions. Y is the first letter in six games — although of course that's slightly skewed by the fact that today's is not one of the originals, so really it's at least seven.

Still, the important thing is that it's unusual, and that probably explains the high average.

Given the great luck I had with BUMPY and UNCAP over the weekend, the fact that I solved YODEL in 3 too might start raising suspicions. But once again, I got incredibly lucky.

SANER had not made good progress at all, giving me only a green E, which I duly left out of my second guess, CLOUT. CLOUT, meanwhile, turned up a yellow L and O, which meant there were 17 words that now fit.

I found only seven of those — YODEL, MODEL, DOWEL, HOVEL, YOKEL and GOLEM — although in my defense, eight of the others were ED words that I don't think will be real solutions; HOLEY, VOWEL and BOWEL probably are solutions, admittedly.

Among the words I had, YODEL was a great next choice, because it would guarantee me a 4 at worst — so I went with that expecting to maybe get a green Y for YOKEL or yellow D for DOWEL etc etc.

Instead, all five letters turned green for the third day in a row. And don't worry, I am well aware it will all come crashing down around me soon.

Yesterday's Wordle hints (game #1940)

In a different time zone where it's still Sunday? Don't worry — I can give you some clues for Wordle #1940, too.

• Wordle yesterday had vowels in two places*

* Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too).

• The first letter in yesterday's Wordle answer was U.

U is not a particularly common starting letter in Wordle, with only 33 answers beginning with it. It ranks 20th in this regard, and is the least common vowel to start an answer.

• There were no repeated letters in yesterday's Wordle.

Repeated letters are quite common in the game, with 748 of the 2,309 Wordle answers containing one. However, it's still more likely that a Wordle doesn't have one.

• The last letter in yesterday's Wordle was P.

P is a middling end letter in Wordle. It features in 56 answers, which places it 12th in the alphabet. Don't expect it to happen that often compared to the likes of E, Y and T.

• Yesterday's Wordle answer is to remove the top of a closed receptacle.

Yesterday's Wordle answer (game #1940)

• NYT average score: 4.0
• My score: 3
• WordleBot's score: 4
• My skill score: 90
• My luck score: 73
• My start word performance: SANER (48 remaining answers)
• WordleBot's start word performance: SLATE (202)
• Tomorrow's start word: SANER

Yesterday's Wordle answer (game #1940) was… UNCAP.

The NYT is once again ramping up the frequency with which it adds additional words to the answer pool: UNCAP is the latest after Saturday's BUMPY and Thursday's STREW and we also had three the week before in the form of RITZY, USURY and PEEVE.

As these words go it's a relatively harmless one. UNCAP has an average score of 4.0 and I wouldn't describe it as easy, but it's got nothing on the likes of RITZY and indeed BUMPY, which seemed to cause far more problems than I anticipated at the time.

Somehow I scored a second successive 3, but whereas yesterday my luck came on the third guess here it was on the second.

SANER performed reasonably well, cutting the shortlist to 48 and giving me a yellow A and N. I haven't yet settled on a definitive strategy for how to handle this scenario; sometimes I like to test a second vowel by adding an 'I' and going with PLAIN, but today I instead found room for a T with PLANT.

The 'Bot was not overly impressed, giving me only 80 for skill and describing it as merely "solid". It favored CLING, presumably reasoning that the A is so common in the middle position that I could leave it out. It may well have a point, on average, but today my word left only one option whereas the 'Bot's would have left three.

It took me an age to find that one option, admittedly. P is a very common letter at the start of a word but less so elsewhere, and is not particularly likely to appear at the end; it ranks 12th, so it's not super-rare there, but for context K, which ranks ninth, is twice as likely at the end.

That may explain why I just could not see a way to arrange my three yellow letters and make a valid word. Eventually — after about 10 minutes — I started experimenting with the N in the second position and either an I, O or U before it, and that ultimately led me to UNCAP for my 3.

What is Wordle?

If you're on this page then you almost certainly know what Wordle is already, and indeed have probably been playing it for a while. And even if you've not been playing it, you must surely have heard of it by now, because it's the viral word game phenomenon that took the world by storm in 2022 and is still going strong in 2026.

We've got a full guide to the game in our What is Wordle page, but if you just want a refresher then here are the basics.

• World of Warcraft: Forever won't receive any new races from retail World of Warcraft
• Blizzard says its "main focus" is to "build off the foundational lore of Warcraft," since Forever exists in its own "continuity"
• It confirms that the stakes won't be as high as retail WoW to begin with, as "You aren’t THE hero in WoW: Forever, you are just A hero"

Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed that it doesn't plan to add any modern World of Warcraft races to World of Warcraft: Forever, since the game exists in its own timeline.

In an interview with TechRadar Gaming, where the WoW: Forever team discussed adding the controversial dual-faction Skyborne race and its plans for the game's future, Blizzard said it doesn't plan to reintroduce any races from Azeroth-based expansions, such as Battle for Azeroth, Shadowlands, or Midnight.

"We have no plans to add races from WoW’s expansions at this time," Blizzard said, meaning fans shouldn't expect new races like Vulpera, Goblins, or Haranir.

And Blizzard's reasoning for avoiding the newer additions to retail WoW? It explained that it wants to build on the original Warcraft game because WoW: Forever essentially exists within its own timeline.

"Our main focus for the game is to build off the foundational lore of Warcraft," it said. "This means first and foremost the RTS [real-time strategy ] games, and we’ve hit on this right from the start with our content that picks up after the events of the new Warcraft 3: Forsaken Kingdom campaign.

"One of the liberating things about this game existing in its own continuity is that we can forge our own path forward and tell stories that serve the world of WoW: Forever first and foremost. It wouldn’t be fair to WoW: Forever and the players who want to see where this world is going for us to spend a ton of time trying to further flesh stories that have already been told extensively in the modern game."

Blizzard added that it plans to "keep our stories very grounded," explaining that while the stakes of modern WoW are "so vast" and "have that gravity and weight because of how far our characters have gone in that world," WoW: Forever will start "in a very different place."

"We may be a part of larger narratives and events, but how we interact with those narratives will be more subtle and grounded, just as was the case in original WoW," the team said, emphasising that "You aren’t THE hero in WoW: Forever, you are just A hero."

It continued, teasing, "That isn’t to say we’ll never go to some of the places that came in later WoW expansions, but we are fairly committed at this time to doing the WoW: Forever version of those places, not simply retreading the versions of these places that we’ve already seen."

Elsewhere in the same interview, Blizzard confirmed that it's actively working to combat real-money trading (RMT) in WoW: Forever.

• MSI’s Prestige N16 Flip AI+ becomes yet another RTX Spark laptop brand
• The top model carries 128 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD
• Every configuration uses a 20-core CPU and a 6,144-core GPU

MSI has launched the Prestige N16 Flip AI+, adding a 16-inch convertible to Nvidia's rapidly expanding RTX Spark hardware lineup.

Microsoft, ASUS, Dell, HP and Lenovo have also introduced or announced RTX Spark systems, while Acer has shown its own compact desktop design

That competition leaves MSI differentiating its device through a 128 GB memory option, a 20-core processor and a high-resolution Tandem OLED display.

MSI packs flagship RTX Spark hardware into a convertible

The Prestige N16 Flip AI+ combines Nvidia's 20-core RTX Spark N1X processor with a GPU containing 6,144 cores across all three configurations.

Its 16-inch Tandem OLED touchscreen delivers 3,840 × 2,400 resolution, a variable refresh rate between 30 Hz and 120 Hz, and peak HDR brightness of 1,000 nits.

MSI fits the hardware into a convertible chassis weighing 1.9 kg, with dimensions of 357.7 × 254.3 mm and thickness ranging from 13.9 mm to 16.9 mm.

Under the hood, a 99.9 Wh battery supports charging at up to 140 W, although MSI has not specified battery endurance or the time required for a full recharge.

The Prestige N16 Flip AI+ comes in three configurations, with memory and storage capacity accounting for the differences between them.

The base model offers 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD, while the midrange version increases memory to 64 GB without changing storage capacity, and the top configuration doubles memory again to 128 GB and increases storage to 2 TB.

MSI joins Microsoft, Dell and other RTX Spark laptop makers

Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra, ASUS's ProArt P14 and P16, Dell's XPS 16, HP's OmniBook Ultra 16 and Lenovo's Yoga 9n 2-in-1 already give buyers several RTX Spark laptop options.

Their approaches differ, with Microsoft's machine using a 15-inch mini-LED display, while ASUS focuses its RTX Spark models on creator-oriented ProArt laptops.

Dell uses the XPS 16 for its RTX Spark offering, while HP has placed the processor inside its larger OmniBook Ultra 16.

Lenovo takes a convertible approach similar to MSI, with its Yoga 9n combining RTX Spark hardware and a 360-degree design.

Acer has also entered the RTX Spark ecosystem with a compact desktop design, although that product does not compete directly with MSI's convertible.

MSI's main distinction is its combination of a convertible form factor, a 128 GB memory option and a high-resolution Tandem OLED display.

The company has opened preorders through authorized retailers, with availability varying by market.

In the United States, the laptop starts at $3,299, while UK buyers pay £3,099 for the 32 GB model with 1 TB storage.

The British price rises to £4,099 for the 64 GB version, a £1,000 increase over the entry configuration, and Eurozone pricing starts at €3,899.90 for the 32 GB model, rising to €5,099.90 for the 64 GB version, and the highest configuration costs €7,999.90, combining 128 GB of RAM with 2 TB storage and costing more than twice as much as the entry model.

It's Vision's time to shine. After playing a supporting role in myriad Marvel movies and TV shows, the superpowered synthezoid is finally set to star in his own project in VisionQuest.

Set around a year — in-universe, that is — after WandaVision, the Disney+ TV Original will reunite us with Vision (Paul Bettany), who's suffering from an identity crisis following the events of WandaVision's finale. Searching for meaning, he consults the A.I. programs in his programming for guidance and advice, including Ultron (James Spader), aka the villainous android last seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Soon, though, Vision is forced to go on the run with Tommy Shepherd (Ruaridh Mollica), a mysterious individual who claims to be one of Vision's reincarnated twin sons, when nefarious forces come gunning for the highly-advanced tech that Vision possesses.

With that somewhat lengthy story synopsis out of the way, we can move onto the real reason for you clicking on this article. That being: when will every episode of VisionQuest be released on one of the world's best streaming services?

What are the release dates for every episode of VisionQuest?

The penultimate Marvel Phase 6 TV series will arrive with a two-episode premiere on Wednesday, October 14. That's a worldwide launch for the sci-fi comic book show, too, so viewers in North and South America won't be able to watch them earlier than everyone else.

As for when the other six chapters should be released, read on for more details:

• VisionQuest episode 1 — Wednesday, October 14
• VisionQuest episode 2 — Wednesday, October 14
• VisionQuest episode 3 — Wednesday, October 21
• VisionQuest episode 4 — Wednesday, October 28
• VisionQuest episode 5 — Wednesday, November 4
• VisionQuest episode 6 — Wednesday, November 11
• VisionQuest episode 7 — Wednesday, November 18
• VisionQuest episode 8 — Wednesday, November 25

Why do I say "should" in the above paragraph? Marvel fansite Nexus Point News claims that episodes 3 and 4 will be released on the same date, i.e. October 21. The same is apparently true of episodes 5 and 6, which are rumored to debut together on October 28. Lastly, episodes 7 and 8 will supposedly launch separate to one another, meaning they'd come out November 4 and 11.

Marvel hasn't officially commented on Nexus Point News' report, so I'll keep the above release schedule as it is for now. I'll update this section if the comic giant confirms what Nexus Point News has said, though.

What time can I watch VisionQuest?

With VisionQuest due to air worldwide on October 14, I expect the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) project's first two episodes to drop at 12am PT / 3am ET in the US and Canada. If they do, the remaining entries should do likewise.

Live elsewhere? Here's when new installments of VisionQuest are expected to premier in your time zone:

• US — 12am PT / 3am ET
• Canada — 12am PT / 3am ET
• UK — 8am BST
• India — 12:30pm IST
• Singapore — 3pm SGT
• Australia — 5pm AEST
• New Zealand — 7pm NZST

It's worth noting that the above times will change in the weeks ahead.

Indeed, with the clocks going back in the northern hemisphere, as well as forward below the equator, some episodes will be released earlier or later than the aforementioned times. As and when they come into effect, I'll update this section.

No, few texts have been as well adapted, with a Ridley Scott blockbuster movie take already on the cards following this series. There’s also been an animated sci-fi version from Disney, a loose adaptation set in the Star Wars universe and The Muppets teaming up with Tim Curry for a wild iteration, not to mention Black Sails, the underrated four season prequel show. However, Paramount exec Sebastian Cardwell promises something new, with this latest iteration bringing “fresh emotional depth and a striking contemporary edge to Stevenson’s classic.”

The novel has been adapted numerous times over a 100+ year period, including as a sci-fi animation by Disney and as a Muppets movie starring the late, great Tim Curry. Ridley Scott is inviting Hugh Jackman onboard for a new blockbuster movie take, due next year.

• 49ers vs Seahawks kick-off: Sun, Oct 11 at 4.25pm ET / 9.25pm BST / 7.25am AEDT (Mon)

The 49ers vs Seahawks is the game of Week 5 and arguably the game of the 2026 NFL season so far. Not only are they fierce NFC West rivals, but San Francisco are the league's joint-second top-scorers, while Seattle have conceded fewer yards and passing yards than anyone else.

Simply put, if there's a defense that can stifle the 49ers' red-hot Brock Purdy-led offense it's the Seahawks', and if there's an offense that break through Seattle's vaunted lines it's San Fran's.

And then there are the coaches. Kyle Shanahan and Mike Macdonald took no time to forge a mutual aversion, and it's the Seahawks coach who's just about had the upper hand. He was on the losing end of their first encounter two years ago, but the Hawks have since held the Niners to fewer than 11 points per game across four meetings.

And Seattle's two most recent victories over San Francisco were as important as they were emphatic. With the NFC's No.1 seed on the line, they crushed them 13-3 in January, before knocking them out of the playoffs off the back of a 41-6 pasting.

Purdy is yet to be sacked this season, but Leonard Williams and Ernest Jones IV will be throwing everything at him at Lumen Field this Sunday.

Time is entering its third and final season as David Tennant's Bobby Bailey brings his story to a close at the Young Offenders Institution in the final installment of this BAFTA-winning drama.

You can watch Time season 3 online from anywhere with a VPN.

This latest edition of Time will throw Bobby into a new setting as he takes on perhaps the most complex inmates yet: teenagers. Meanwhile, Siobhan Finneran is back as chaplain Marie-Louise O’Dell, a woman who has lost her faith, and when a tragedy befalls the institution, she and Bailey will clash.

The story this time around really centers on two youths, Peter and James, who can't quite get to grips with their newfound incarceration. Both endure a tough first few weeks in the institution, while also dealing with the guilt and fallout of their own wrongdoing on the outside.

What has the David Tennant said about Time season 3?

Speaking to the BBC, David Tennant said: "The series is set in and around a young offender institution where my character, Bobby, is an officer. We follow what’s happening to him both at the prison and in his home life. We also follow what’s happening to some of the inmates and find out about why they’re there and what’s going on in their lives. Something happens towards the end of the first episode and Bobby’s left in a position where he knows more than the authorities do. He has to reckon with himself as to whether it’s right to be honest and truthful or defend his mate."

On the nature of this third installment, Tennant added: "There’s something about it being boys who are not yet men, who are all potential, and that potential being incarcerated. There’s something very galling about that. It’s quite scary because there’s a lot of energy in that moment in a young man’s life, in a boy’s life. It’s all that potential and it’s bottled and contained, which doesn’t feel right somehow. There’s a real sense of danger in that."

Watch Liverpool vs Man City in the Premier League 2026/27 season, as Anfield is sure to reserve an especially hostile reception for the club that has been found guilty of multiple financial rule breaches. Can Enzo Maresca foster a siege mentality and continue his side's 100% record? Or will Andoni Iraola channel the feeling and kickstart his Reds reign?

It had to be Liverpool. The announcement of City's 114 financial rule breaches by an independent commission (charges the club still deny and will appeal) during the three-week international break meant the build-up to facing one of the teams most affected would be extended and dripping in narrative. Anfield will be rocking, necessarily so after a quiet start to life under Iraola that is yet to deliver a Premier League home win.

Maresca has said the "feeling is fantastic" in the camp as the City boss attempts to establish an us-against-the-world mentality in light of the panel's recent findings. If ever there was a game to 'control the controlables', and focus on the football, this is it. The Italian boss will look to extend his side's record to six league wins from six, with Erling Haaland in trademark goalscoring form – the Norwegian has seven goals in all competitions this term.

Martin vs Ben: We break down the main characters...

Martin Gilmour (Luke Evans)
A calculated and buttoned-up man, Martin is a political journalist whose opinion pieces always seem to favour Ben Fitzmaurice’s position. As the new scholarship boy from South Wales, Martin fell in love with Ben at school and has kept himself in Ben’s circle ever since, by whatever means necessary.

Martin remains loyal to Ben, despite a secret in their past which caused a seismic shift in their relationship, and these days has to contend with Ben’s growing family and political ambitions. That is until the secrets that have bound Martin to Ben threaten to come out…

Ben Fitzmaurice (Tom Cullen)
A confident, charismatic man who has had the world laid at his feet. Born into landed gentry, Ben is a Conservative Party MP with eyes on the party leadership. He has a charm that comes with growing up with an innate safety net.

A gifted speaker, Ben has the ability to hold a room with ease, but beneath this bluster run deeper emotions that Ben has yet to face up to. When his own impulsive decisions throw everything into disarray at his birthday party, Ben is forced to confront his dark past head on. As the hedonism of the party rises the temperature, Ben has to reckon with the truth of what he did… can he really run from the truth forever?

The Party launches on Sunday 11th October with Episode 2 airing on Monday 12th October, on ITV1, ITVX, STV & STV Player

Not only is he burying his head in the sand when it comes to the impact of his civil war feud with Kevin (Paddy Considine), but he's also neglecting his health in a way that could have serious consequences.

• A new Google TV Streamer is rumored to be on the way
• Tipped upgrades include microphones and more storage
• There's no word yet on a launch date or any potential pricing

The first Google TV Streamer launched in August 2024, and standalone Chromecast devices were discontinued at the same time. Now a second streaming box is rumored, and it sounds like the included upgrades will be substantial.

According to "a source familiar with the matter" speaking to 9to5Google, the updated device will have a similar design to the original, except for being slightly narrower. The current model measures 6.4 inches x 3 inches x 1 inch (16.3 cm x 7.6 cm x 2.5 cm).

The new model will apparently add microphones, which means you will of course be able to say "hey Google" and speak out some voice commands or AI queries without having to use the remote to do it — a bit more like a smart speaker.

Presence sensing is tipped to be added to, which means the screensaver could load up when you're in the room, and more detailed information (such as the time and weather) might be displayed when someone gets close.

Time to upgrade?

Other rumored upgrades: a faster chipset and more storage, beyond the 32GB of room that the current model offers for apps and files. It seems there will be two more shortcut buttons on the remote as well, in addition to the current Netflix and YouTube ones.

That all sounds appealing to me, as someone who has hung on to the older Chromecast with Google TV. Despite its increasing age, it remains a perfectly capable streaming device, which doesn't differ hugely from the current Google TV Streamer.

If the new model was faster, had more room on it, and worked more like a smart speaker (or a smart display), then I may have to consider the upgrade — though price will be crucial as always (the current model just got a price hike to $149 in the US).

It's not clear when this updated model might arrive, but we're now two years on from the first device. With a new Apple TV 4K box rumored to be arriving at Apple's event next week, Google won't want to wait too long before updating its own hardware.

Watch Shanghai Masters 2026 live streams, as the Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena in Shanghai, China, welcomes the biggest names in men's tennis for one of the most popular events on tour. Alexander Zverev will be the top seed as he seeks a victory that will help his goal to be year-end No.1, while Carlos Alcaraz continues his return from injury.

The big news in the early rounds from Shanghai is Novak Djokovic's early exit. After winning the China Open, the 39-year-old Serbian couldn't back it up and lost 6-3 6-4 to Hubert Hurkacz.

Alcaraz, though, is safely through after beating Juan Manuel Cerundolo and while debuting a new moustache. The Spaniard confirmed the lip tickler would stay for the week. Daniil Medvedev, defaulted from the China Open for hitting a spectator with a ball, and fourth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime are also through to the third round.

The South Africa vs Australia 1st Test 2026 could scarcely be dripping in more narrative. Eight years have passed since the Aussies last played a five-day game in the Rainbow Nation, with then captain Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft conspiring to use sandpaper to rough up the ball. The scandal, and attempted coverup, has dominated chatter between Test cricket's top two sides ever since.

Matt Renshaw stood up to the plate on Day 2, scoring a magnificent 190 to guide Australia to what seemed an unlikely 390 all out after their struggles with the bat on the opening day.

Renshaw's first Test century for nine years was the main event but Nathan Lyon's 29 helped establish a partnership of 134 for the ninth wicket, the second-highest in Australian history.

At the end of the day's play, South Africa finished on 27-1, with Ryan Rickelton edging Josh Hazlewood before bad light stopped play. Australia will be licking their lips ahead of Day 3, with the bowlers set to put the pressure on the Proteas' batters.

• Chicago Marathon 2026: Sunday, October 11

Watch Chicago Marathon 2026 live streams as reigning champions Jacob Kiplimo and Hawi Feysa return to Illinois to defend their respective men's and women's titles. The 48th edition of the race is packed with storylines, as more than 55,000 runners take to the streets of the Windy City.

Since winning in Chicago last year, Kiplimo has become the third-fastest marathoner in history – although the achievement was overshadowed by the fact that the only two men to run quicker did it in the same race, at April's London Marathon. The Ugandan crossed the line in 2:00.28 in the English capital, so today could be the day he breaks the two-hour mark and challenges Sabastian Sawe's world record of 1:59.30.

Kiplimo should be pushed all the way by Kenya's Amos Kipruto and Ethiopian duo Milkesa Mengesha and Tadese Takele Bikila. Further back, Americans Charles Hicks and Clayton Young may not be in contention to win, but they will both have their eyes on Conner Mantz’s American record, which stands at 2:04.43.

In the women's race, Ethiopia's Feysa will do battle with Kenyan star Brigid Kosgei, a two-time winner in Chicago who last ran here in 2019, when she set the then-world record. Kosgei's Kenyan counterpart Sharon Lokedi is another one to watch as she makes her debut on this course, having won the Boston Marathon in each of the past two years and claimed victory in New York in 2022.

The course is famous for producing fast times, with seven world records set across the men's and women's races over the years, and this year should be no different. More than a million people are expected to line the streets as the runners start and finish in Grant Park, with just the 26.2 miles in between.

The Southampton vs Portsmouth live stream is the standout fixture this weekend in the EFL Championship as the arch-rivals meet for the first time this season, at St Mary's. Adding some extra spice is the fact that Saints manager Tonda Eckert will be on the sidelines after being given a suspended ban for his role in last season's Spygate scandal.

After months of uncertainty, the FA ruled that Eckert can remain as Southampton manager and suspended a six-week ban from football activity until the end of next season. The 33-year-old German will hope to celebrate that decision with a victory in the South Coast derby. The Saints have started the season well, losing just two of eight league games but sit 13th because of the four-point deduction for the unauthorized filming of opposition training sessions last season. Particularly strong at home, winning four from four and scoring 15 goals in the process, they will look to summer signing Cyle Larin to continue his deadly form.

Though 19th in the Championship with just two wins from seven matches, Portsmouth have drawn their last two games and were unfortunate not to beat Blackburn last time out. Manager John Mousinho was unhappy with his defense in that game and will be hoping for a sharper performance from his backline. He’ll also look to fit-again striker Marko Milovanovic, with the 23-year-old the only Pompey player to score more than one league goal this season, while Adrian Segečić remains the creative hub.

Mostly, expect lots of binoculars in the away end.

Singapore Grand Prix 2026: Preview

Last time out in 2025, George Russell converted pole position into victory to give Mercedes its second and final win of the season. This time around, however, the 28-year-old Briton will start Sunday's Grand Prix from the back after receiving a 40-place grid penalty for taking four additional power unit elements.

Russell has now suffered back-to-back retirements, first in Sepang and then in Saturday's Sprint, which delivered a record nine DNFs – the most in F1 Sprint history, arguably due to the wet conditions. Russell had initially taken the lead from Max Verstappen in the rain but threw away his advantage almost immediately after crashing at the final corner on the opening lap.

Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli, meanwhile, started the Sprint seventh but climbed to fourth, benefiting from the two McLarens colliding on the final lap. Mercedes have looked pale in comparison to Red Bull and Ferrari since introducing their upgrades in Sepang. Antonelli will start fourth, but he now holds an 89-point lead in the Drivers' Championship, so the result is unlikely to be a major concern for the Italian.

Red Bull arrived this weekend with arguably the strongest momentum of any team. Max Verstappen finally claimed his first win of 2026 at Sepang, and he has backed that up with another commanding performance in wet conditions, winning the inaugural Sprint at Marina Bay. He then grabbed pole for the Grand Prix, finishing just 0.054 seconds ahead of Charles Leclerc, who was only 0.069 seconds quicker than his teammate Lewis Hamilton.

Ferrari, however, looked well placed to challenge for pole after Hamilton topped both Q1 and Q2. But he was unable to improve on his final attempt after struggling with a snappy car in Q3. Leclerc, then, secured second. He started and finished third in the Sprint, with Hamilton producing an impressive second-place finish after lining up sixth. Hamilton overtook both McLarens and his teammate in the opening corners before settling into second behind Verstappen.

McLaren, meanwhile, just cannot catch a break. The team has struggled to produce meaningful results since Lando Norris' podium in Madrid. The two papaya drivers, Oscar Piastri and Norris, started the Sprint fourth and fifth respectively but collided on the final lap while fighting for position. Norris recovered to finish eighth, while Piastri retired after spinning out. Qualifying offered little respite, with Norris taking fifth and Piastri seventh, leaving both behind the leading Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes cars.

Drivers' Championship Standings (after Singapore Sprint)

1. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) — 325
2. George Russell (Mercedes) — 236

• ALBATROSS turns an aircraft release into a controlled ocean landing system
• The 1.1 kg drone can deploy without carrying powered flight hardware
• Its rotating descent slows the fall before the vehicle reaches water

ALBATROSS, a drone built by seven engineers at Singapore university SUTD, is a lightweight sailboat drone designed to reach the water successfully after an aerial release.

The 1.107 kg prototype rotates while descending, which slows its fall before landing, and then converts into a wind-propelled vessel.

Its unusual launch method gives the machine a claimed operating range above 100 km while avoiding powered flight during deployment.

A drone that drops before it sails

ALBATROSS uses rigid wingsails to control its descent, causing the craft to rotate instead of dropping directly toward the water.

That spinning motion reduces falling speed and limits landing forces, allowing the vehicle to enter the ocean without landing hardware.

After landing on the water, the craft automatically returns to an upright position before switching into sailing mode.

“ALBATROSS is designed to be released from an aircraft or UAV, passively enter autorotation for a controlled, low-impact water landing, self-right without actuation,” said the SUTD research team.

The drone does not come with a landing gear, so it uses three control actuators with three main sensors, while a rudder provides directional movement through lateral motion for steering.

That rudder functions similarly to a fish tail, generating thrust while helping the small vessel steer after reaching the water.

Range and design give the concept its edge

The researchers say ALBATROSS could cover roughly above 100 km, substantially exceeding the approximately 7km range reported for SailMAV.

Its low mass allows aircraft or UAVs to carry it into areas where rapid deployment could matter during environmental events.

It also has an advantage over autonomous sailing platforms such as Saildrone or Sailbuoy, which may require external support during some operations.

That edge comes from its design, which integrates aerial and aquatic functions without relying on the separate mechanisms typically needed to manage those modes.

"Unlike many hybrid aerial-marine systems, ALBATROSS eliminates the need for aerial propulsion, complex mechanical reconfiguration, or active stabilization during the air-water transition and can sail back to shore at the end of a mission," the team said.

That ability could make aerial deployment useful for placing sensing equipment in areas where ocean conditions change quickly.

Wind-powered movement would then allow the vehicle to remain useful without carrying a propulsion system for continued surface travel.

This operating model differs from larger sailing drones, which can require management from shore facilities or vessels during active missions.

The prototype therefore combines low mass with a descent mechanism intended to reduce hardware requirements during the transition into water.

Whether the concept works reliably outside controlled testing will depend on consistent descent, self-righting, steering, and sailing performance overall.
