Australia lose four-day game to Pakistan A Team

Reverse swing has emerged as a key weapon for Pakistan in their two-Test series against Australia starting on Wednesday in Dubai.

Chasing 339 for victory on Saturday's fourth and final day of play in their match against Pakistan A in Sharjah, Australia were bowled out for 185 off 51.3 overs.

Back-up Test opener Phil Hughes top-scored with 65 while Test opener Chris Rogers (0 and 3) and skipper Michael Clarke (10 and five) failed twice in the match.

The game was not a first-class fixture and Australia took the option on Saturday of resting their two top-scorers from their first innings; Alex Doolan (104) and Steve Smith (58).

Uncapped Test hopeful Mitchell Marsh made 35 at No.5 and tailender Peter Siddle scored 41.

Six of the nine wickets to fall to the bowlers in Australia's second innings were claimed by Pakistan A's pace trio Mohammad Talha (3-32), Rahat Ali (2-36) and Imran Khan (1-18), while left-arm spinner Raza Hasan took 3-60.

Science shines light on dark matter

Scientists from the University of Leicester say they may have solved one of the most enduring mysteries in modern physics - the nature of dark matter.
This is something that accounts for the difference between the observable mass of material in space, and the way it moves - which would suggest far greater mass.
Researchers say they have identified a signal which - if confirmed - would lay the blame on 'axions', emitted from stars.
These are one of the candidate particles physicists believe may account for 85% of the missing mass in the universe.
