Kate Ebrahim has continued her excellent form for the Canterbury Magicians.
The Hallyburton Johnstone Shield has a new frontrunner after the Canterbury Magicians won the first of two top-of-the-table clashes in Rangiora on Saturday. Fresh off winning the Super Smash Twenty20 title last weekend, the Magicians big 78-run win over the Central Hinds broke the deadlock at the top of the table as they also grabbed a bonus point, with Kate Ebrahim carrying her bat through the hosts innings with an unbeaten 102 off 150 balls. Just a week after her recall to the White Ferns T20 side, it was the veteran Ebrahim s fifth Domestic List A century and third for the Magicians (with her first two tons having been for opponents the Hinds) in a winning start for new Canterbury captain Gabby Sullivan.
The Bulletin: Country waking up to heightened alert levels
Good morning and welcome to The Bulletin. In today’s edition: 72 hours of lockdown incoming for Auckland, vaccinations of border workers to begin imminently, and hospo businesses facing a difficult week.
A new set of three Covid-19 cases in the community has been found, and the alert levels have shifted as a result. The cases are all part of a family group – a mother, father and teenage daughter. The mother works at LSG SkyChefs, an airport laundry and catering facility, and is part of a regular testing cycle, though her case was not picked up through that process. She sought a further test when she became ill, which Dr Ashley Bloomfield said was the right thing to do. The new cases are reportedly the UK strain of Covid-19.
