England’s Archer: I’ve moved on from racist abuse in Test

■ CRICKET: England paceman Jofra Archer says he has “moved on” from the alleged racist abuse directed towards him by a spectator in the first Test against New Zealand at Mount Maunganui.

Hours after England’s innings defeat at the Bay Oval, Archer revealed on Twitter he had heard “racial insults” from “one guy” in an incident that has led to investigations from the boards of both countries.

The search for the offender continues but Archer has had an apology from David White, the chief executive of New Zealand Cricket, while Black Caps captain Kane Williamson labelled what happened as “horrific”.

Archer, inset right, wrote in the Daily Mail: “The first thing I want to say about what happened towards the end of the Test at Mount Maunganui is that I’m over it. I’ve left what happened at the ground and I’ve moved on.

■ MOTORSPORT: Red Bull will continue to be powered by Honda in 2021.

Honda have been considering their future in Formula One, but the announcement of a one-year extension with Red Bull ensures they will remain in the sport beyond next season.

Toro Rosso, Red Bull’s junior team, will also continue their partnership with the Japanese manufacturer into 2021. Mercedes and Ferrari are still to sign up to the sport’s post-2020 regulations, which were outlined in the United States last month. However, both teams are expected to agree terms with F1 to stay.

The sport gathers in the Middle East this weekend for the season concluding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
