CRICKET: Essex wicket-keeper batsman Ben Foakes made 20 as England Lions slumped to yet another defeat on their tour of Australia.
The young England side – captained by Test batsman James Taylor – are still winless on their tour Down Under and fell to a fourth one-day defeat to their Australian counterparts on Monday.
Foakes, who is one of only four English batsmen to pass 50 in the series so far, put on 47 for the fourth wicket with Gary Ballance, but England were beaten by 45 runs in Sydney.
The final game of the series is a day-night clash at the same venue on Friday.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports have announced 60 televised matches for the 2013 domestic season – and the Eagles feature seven times.
Their opening two fixtures in the newly-rebranded Yorkshire Bank 40 competition – at home to Hampshire on May 3 and away to Durham two days later – will both be shown.
The cameras will return to Chelmsford on June 3 for Surrey's day-night YB40 visit, and the LV> Challenge match against England from June 30 to July 3 will also be televised.
The day after that game concludes, the Eagles will be shown away to Middlesex in their second T20 game of the season, and two more T20 clashes are also scheduled to be shown.
The first of those is the clash with Kent at Chelmsford on July 8, while the trip to the Oval to face Surrey a week later will also be shown.
