TNT Sports close to UK live rights for England's Australia white-ball tour

TNT Sports is close to securing live UK rights to England's eight-match white-ball tour of Australia, which starts with a 50-over warm-up in Perth on 7 November. The proposed deal could put one match on Channel 5 free-to-air, meaning viewers need no subscription. Cricket Australia is understood to be confident the deal will be completed. TNT Sports declined to comment.
