    New Zealand won both races on Friday to open up a 6-2 lead over Great Britain and move within a point of retaining the America's Cup.

    Ben Ainslie's Ineos Britannia team began the day hoping to level the best-of-13 series in Barcelona after a strong showing on Wednesday.

    But favourable wind conditions helped Emirates Team New Zealand triumph in race seven and they followed up on that in race eight to claim five match points.

    The world’s oldest international sporting competition the America’s Cup reaches its conclusion this weekend – and you can watch all the action live across Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Sport!

    Team New Zealand have stormed into a 6-2 lead over Britannia (GB) in the 37th edition of the competition and require just one more race win in the best-of-13 series to secure the title in Barcelona. The team, which represents the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, are looking to add a third consecutive title to their successes in 2017 and 2021.

    Britannia (GB) led by four-time Olympic gold medallist Ben Ainslie fell to defeat twice on Friday and now must win all the remaining races if they are to secure an unlikely first title.
