The party atmosphere started long before kick-off on a sunny day in Liverpool, with the streets around Anfield a sea of red as supporters gathered in huge numbers, regardless of whether they had a ticket for the match or not.

The Glamorgan flag was flying at half-mast in memory of former Glamorgan groundsman Len Smith as Middlesex followed on 228 runs behind. The visitors surprised everyone with Robson and Max Holden racing along at a run a ball for the first hour in an opening stand of 98. Robson hit seamers James Harris and Andy...
Morris is a player I’ve admired for a long time from when he was down at Fleetwood Town. His speed is such a threat and Celtic got it wrong dealing with him in the build-up to the equaliser. It was a brilliant move from Thelin because they asked him to do a midfield role without...
A superbly judged unbeaten century by Tom Lammonby helped Somerset maintain their excellent form with a seven-wicket defeat of Durham in the County Championship match at the Riverside.

In a year when pace bowling will be so crucial to England’s hopes, and with a number of seamers absent, those on show did little to press their claims. The biggest opportunity was to Cook, who has been prolific for Essex. It would be harsh to write off anyone after one Test, and it could...
Naples is a one-club city, yet with only a handful of pockets of real success in their history. They really idolise their heroes, most notably Maradona – who was part of their first two title wins – and whom their stadium is now named after. McTominay will never reach those levels – nobody could –...
With rolling substitutes, no offsides and 15-minute halves, the tournament format brings out flair and creativity, as well as attacking intent.
