Sports

Ainslie’s British team still winless in first-to-seven seriesRacing abandoned for the day before fourth raceThe odds of Britain securing the America’s Cup for the first time lengthened a little further on Sunday after the dominant New Zealand team ­established a three‑race lead in the first-to-seven, 13-race competition.The planned fourth race was cancelled as winds failed to reach the minimum 6.5 knots and will be held as a one-off on Monday. Weather permitting, the two-race schedule will resume on Wednesday. Britain’s Ineos team may feel relieved that Sunday’s second race was cancelled after a New Zealand display of superiority over the first three races that the ­Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo described as “almost insulting”.
