Cristiano Ronaldo scores his second hat-trick in last three Al-Nassr ... (AS English)

After firing four past Al-Wehda a fortnight ago, Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated another hat trick with Al-Nassr in Saturday's win over Damac.

The team are on 43 points, just ahead of Al-Ittihad, who were held to a goalless draw by Al-Raed on Thursday. Just for good measure, he made it 0-4 on 66 minutes with a first-time finish inside the post. Five minutes later he had the back of the net billowing again; receiving a through ball just outside the box, he drilled a low, left-foot effort past Moustapha Zeghba from inside the D.

— [live streaming Al Nassr matches in English via its Twitter channel](http://twitter.com/ssc_sports/status/1617160347843969026), with Sky Sports picking up the feed on YouTube. 2 hours from kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News' live coverage of Damac vs. Al-Shmarani tries to instigate something with a raking ball to the far post but Sami miscues his header for a goal kick. The referee goes to the monitor and the replay clearly shows that Damac skipper Al-Nakhli blocked that with his arm. A good slice of the crowd have exactly what they came to see and join in with the "SIUUUUUU!!!" My word, Hamzi almost pulls off an incredible response for Damac, controlling on his chest and launching a stunning overhead kick that bounces to safety off the bar. Halftime: The whistle goes and there's a weird combination of loud adulation for Ronaldo's exploits and ferocious boos from those who would like to see the home team putting up a much better fight. Ronaldo subjected his teammates to a lengthy and impassioned team talk in the tunnel before they re-emerged. He gets the ball stuck under his feet a bit and Al-Nakhli scrambles it behind for a corner. Ronaldo drives in a free-kick from the left and the luckless Masharipov guides his header against the crossbar. Rudi Garcia's men go top of the table, two points clear of Al Ittihad, and you feel like it will really take something to shift them.

Tom Blundell still had designs on averting the prospect of the follow-on, but miscued an advance in Broad’s next over to be held by Leach at mid-on. Leach then felt the full force of Southee’s world-class ability to hit sixes, three times going the journey in a single over as New Zealand’s captain raced to a 39-ball half-century. The fight shown by Latham and Conway was of a different stripe to Southee’s cavalry charge during the morning, a fusillade of boundaries lifting home spirits before Broad claimed the last three wickets to enable England to enforce the follow-on midway through the session. Conway had needed to dig in at the start of his innings, with Ollie Robinson troubling him around off stump and short leg interested whenever he closed the face. Such was their apparent comfort that Stokes elected to bring himself on after tea, but England’s captain delivered just two overs, in which he was twice no-balled for exceeding the permitted number of short deliveries above shoulder height and once for overstepping. When Siraj hit Warner on the elbow and the head in Delhi, it was evident that he had tried to play the pull both times with his elbows tucked in rather than with a full extension of the arms. He was typically strong square of the wicket and picked off regular boundaries, although might have been dismissed on 62 had Leach managed to close his fingers around a sharp caught-and-bowled chance. His efforts weren’t enough to save the follow-on, but it perhaps provided a spark for the hosts as they were invited to bat again 226 runs in arrears. Since the start of 2013, according to ESPNcricinfo’s data, India’s fast bowlers have taken 75 wickets from short and short-of-good-length balls in home Tests, at an average of 22.49. Zaheer Khan did it frequently in his pomp, and over the last decade, his successors have taken it to a new level as a collective. The larger share of the wounds he is carrying back to Australia – a concussion, a fractured elbow and two dismissals – have been inflicted by India’s fast bowlers. In South Africa last year, the uniformly skiddy nature of India’s pace attack became a disadvantage on pitches where the ball that climbed from a length was the biggest threat to batters.
