    Cornwall's cricketers battled last night to avoid a two-day defeat in their Unicorns Counties Championship game with Cheshire at Nantwich.

    Cheshire were bowled out for exactly 400 to give a big lead of 192 runs on first innings.

    Cornwall then slid to 71 for five before Adrian Noott and Adam Hodgson put on an unbroken 95 for the sixth wicket. Noott, who spent the entire exceptionally hot day on the pitch, is 70 not out.

    Cornwall are 166 for five and still trail by 26 runs going into today's final day. Play continues at 11:00.

  5. Concerns new free school could force neighbouring schools to close

    BBC Radio Cornwall

    Concerns have been raised by teachers and parents that a new free school in Launceston could force neighbouring village schools to close.

    Cornwall Council said it was committed to providing 2,400 new school places by September 2018, with a series of schools in the county - including primaries in Newquay, St Austell, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Helston, Saltash and Redruth - at nearly 100% capacity.

    Launceston College's chief executive, Jack Jackson, made the bid for the new free school to the government. He said he believed it was "highly unlikely" problems would be caused elsewhere.

    Ipplepen dig

    University of Exeter archaeologists and local volunteers have been working on and off in the Ipplepen area over the last six years.

    More recently, they say they've discovered that people lived there for much longer than originally thought, and they've got a better insight into the way they worked.
