first-innings lead over Lions in their drawn encounter at Senwes

The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers will see a familiar face as the referee Sunday at Lambeau Field: Carl Cheffers.Cheffers does not come without controversy in this rivalry. It was Cheffers who was the referee when the Packers and Lions last played each other -- otherwise known as the Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary game.That game ended on the second-longest Hail Mary to end a regular-season game in NFL history, a 61-yard heave from Aaron Rodgers to Richard Rodgers on the final play to give the Packers a 27-23 win on Dec. 3, 2015.The play came on an untimed down after Lions defensive end Devin Taylor was flagged for a face mask while tackling Aaron Rodgers on the last play of regulation. The Lions thought they had won the game, but Cheffers crew threw the flag, called the face mask and extended the game by another play.The call on Taylor was heavily questioned, but Cheffers defended it when he was coincidentally assigned to the Lions training camp in August to give a presentation on new rules to reporters. He was asked about the flag then, and stuck by the initial call.I think its an illegal tackle, Cheffers said. Horse-collar, face mask, I think it was an illegal tackle. So Im very comfortable with it.Taylor had initially not believed it was a face mask and was not fined by the NFL for the play. Lions coach Jim Caldwell also said he did not believe it was a face mask at the time. Aaron Rodgers said after that game he believed it was.Cheffers explained in August what a face mask call is.Its just control, Cheffers said. So if you get fingers in there and you control the mask, theres really no element of time or anything like that in that. Its just controlling the mask, so turning the thing sideways or anything like that is enough control to have a face mask penalty.During that meeting with the Detroit media, Cheffers was asked by reporters to watch the play again to help clarify the horse-collar and face mask call. He refused, saying, Its 2016, dude, as he rebuffed the request.Cheffers said in that August meeting he watched the play when he reviewed it following the game.The Hail Mary that followed has become an iconic NFL play, featured on advertisements for the league and winning an ESPY this summer for Best Play.

Right-arm pacer Anrich Nortjes career-best match haul of 9 for 98 helped Warriors pick up their second win of the season in their 2016-17 Sunfoil Series match against Knights in Port Elizabeth. Nortje bagged a career-best 6 for 44 in the first innings to rout Knights for 179 and give Warriors a 160-run first-innings lead. He then took three more in the final innings, and, along with new-ball partner Basheeru-Deen Walters, bowled Warriors to a 107-run win at St Georges Park.Warriors, after being put in, scored 339, courtesy identical scores of 71 from Colin Ackermann and Lesiba Ngoepe, as well as solid contributions from the rest of the order. Pacers Marchant de Lange and Shadley van Schalkwyk inflicted all of the damage, with de Lange removing the top-three and the latter accounting for the bottom-seven to finish with 7 for 82 - his best figures.Nortje then sent back Luthando Mnyanda and Theunis de Bruyn, the Knights captain, for low scores, but half-centuries from Michael Erlank and David Miller drove Knights to 126 for 2. From there, they fell away, losing their last six wickets for just 19 runs.Duanne Oliviers five-wicket haul kept Warriors to 236 in their second innings, where they were lifted by a 70 from Lesiba Ngoepe at No. 7. Knights were set 397 and their captain de Bruyn fought hard with a century, but found little support as his team was bowled out for 289.A run glut between Dolphins and Cape Cobras was drawn at Boland Park. Cobras captain Justin Ontongs double-century stole the show and pulled his team out of serious trouble; Cobras were reeling at 22 for 4 in reply to Dolphins 478 when Ontong rescued them through a 202-run fifth-wicket partnership with Keegan Petersen, the wicketkeeper, who contributed 86. Ontong added a further 60 with Dayyaan Galiem for the seventh wicket, and 144 for the eighth with No. 9 Dane Piedt (61). The stand ended with Ontongs dismissal for 225 - a knock that contained 24 fours - but despite his career-best effort, Cobras were bowled out for 447 and conceded a lead of 331.ddddddddddddhen Dolphins batted, they lost wickets in a cluster on either side of an 83-run third-wicket stand between Divan van Wyk (38) and Vaughn van Jaarsveld (56). At 115 for 5, Khaya Zondo, who top scored with 157, and Morne van Wyk (79), the captain and wicketkeeper, came together for a 201-run stand. Dolphins were further boosted by contributions from the tail, led by Robbie Frylincks 58 at No. 9.

Daryn Smit struck 82 off just 113 balls and put on 64 for the third wicket with van Jaarsveld (30).

Davids then built on it to take Titans from 130 for 2 to 431 for 6 declared. Davids was supported well by No. 8 David Wiese, who struck an unbeaten 71 and helped add 147 unbeaten runs for the seventh wicket.That, after Lions had been cleaned up for 206 after deciding to bat first.
