Nine News (1st – 1,310,000) flips for the win over Seven News (2nd – 1,108,000), but Seven’s Tennis: 2013 Aust Open – Night 5 (4th – 797,000) continues to run the evening. Especially considering the One Day Cricket – Australian v Sri Lanka Game 3 Session 2 (13th – 497,000) turned out to be such a fizzer (even the day session did better – a rarity). A repeat of Agatha Christie’s Poirot (7th – 644,000) always makes a half-decent showing for ABC1.
