Princess Haya Al Hussein of Jordan has announced that she will not run for a third term as president of the International Equestrian Federation (FEI).

Princess Haya, daughter of the late King Hussein of Jordan, took office in 2006 but said she would not seek a third term in charge, instead choosing to focus on raising her children and United Nations humanitarian causes, such as those in Gaza.

"At 6-5 you hope you can see the game out." It sounds like a quote from a Sunday league manager, doesn't it? Not Dagenham & Redbridge boss Wayne Burnett, who saw his side lose 4-2 on penalties after drawing 6-6 with Brentford in last night's Capital One Cup tie. After hitting the target 12 times between them in 120 minutes, it's no surprise a couple of penalties were a little wayward!

England's Joe Root believes his side must maintain their ruthless streak against India in the fifth Test which starts at the Oval on Friday after their comprehensive win at Old Trafford last weekend.

"When we got into strong positions we made sure we capitalised on them," says the Yorkshireman. "In previous months we haven't been doing that. We've played some really good cricket but it's not quite been coming together.

"These are the things that, if we want to become a really good side like we want to be, we're going to have to be really ruthless and really grasp the opportunities we get, like we did at Old Trafford because they are going to come back hard at us."

Middlesbrough sign Huddersfield midfielder Adam Clayton for an undisclosed fee with Jacob Butterfield going in the opposite direction. Both players have signed four-year deals with their new clubs.

BBC Sport's Luke Reddy at the Premier League launch: "Former Chelsea full-back Graeme Le Saux expects Liverpool to fall out of the Premier League's top four at the expense of Manchester United this season.

"The Reds lost the league's top scorer - Luis Suarez - to Barcelona this summer and Le Saux believes his impact was wider than many recognise.

"I just worry for them a bit, not the goals but he was such a competitor and demanded so much of everyone around him," says the former England international

"You could see he had a desperation to win and I just wonder how much the team will miss that enthusiasm."

"A summer of squad restructuring leaves Chelsea looking the most balanced team, with strength in depth. Manchester City's focus on making a Champions League impact could take its toll, while Arsenal have the firepower to vie for top spot, but look vulnerable at the back and have yet to show they can sustain a challenge.

"The loss of Luis Suarez will be hard for Liverpool, and their raft of signings will need, but I see them finishing above Manchester United unless the Red Devils can make some quality signings before the transfer window closes."

Top four: Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool

Bottom three: West Brom, Burnley, Leicester

Luis Suarez was "an accident waiting to happen" - according to Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore.

Speaking to BBC Sport at the launch of the 2014-15 Premier League, Scudamore said the World Cup biting scandal that engulfed the Uruguay forward "reflected badly" on Liverpool and the Premier League.

He said: "He's done his time here and I can't say that I'm sorry to see him go."

The 27-year-old joined Barcelona for £75m in the summer and will learn the result of his appeal against a four-month ban tomorrow.

At lunch on day one of the one-off Test at Wormsley, England Women are struggling on 49-5 against India.

Sarah Taylor (11 not out) and Natalie Sciver (0) will hope to steady the ship after lunch.

BBC Sport's Luke Reddy at the Premier League launch: "If there is one thing a field full of footballers has highlighted, it is that former footballer turned BBC pundit Garth Crooks is a hurricane of a man.

"He ducks and weaves his way around, engaging with the great and the good at feverish pace and Nigel Pearson cannot make it to his getaway car quickly enough to avoid being collared. Pearson may end up missing his tube, but he leaves in hysterics. Garth kept his one liner until injury time.

"Will Pearson be as happy come May? Or will Leicester City's return to the top flight leave everyone at the club in need of a Garth pick-me-up?"

Sheffield United declined to comment.

With the fourth Test wrapped up early at Old Trafford, England cricketers past and present have been keeping busy by drawing each other for charity. Judging by these results, there's some genuine artistic talent in that dressing room. Whereas others should drop the pen and get back to the nets/

Everton boss Roberto Martinez says Romelu Lukaku can become "one of the best strikers in world football", following his £28m move from Chelsea.

The Belgian spent last season on loan at Goodison Park, scoring 15 times, and Martinez says securing the striker on a permanent deal is a "phenomenal moment" for the club. He also sings the praises of new recruit Muhamed Besic, saying the Bosnian midfielder "has the knack of not being fazed by the big occasion" and is "one for the football fan to keep an eye on".

The Spaniard confirms that a loan deal for Chelsea winger Christian Atsu is "imminent", but says that the "major moves have already been made" in the transfer market.

Norwich City say they have suspended, external two supporters from attending home games at Carrow Road pending the outcome of the Club's on-going investigation into allegations of racist abuse at last Sunday's Championship game against Wolves at Molineux.

BBC Sport's Luke Reddy at the Premier League launch day: "Managers, players and fans may be waiting for the big kick-off, but for the Premier League, launch day itself has been five months in the making.

"Organisers contacted clubs to request managers attend as far back as April and broadcasters from Sweden, France, and the US have been here in Brent to gobble up their every word.

"One Premier League official describes the interviews conducted as "like speed dating." It has been fast and frenetic and a lot more fun than speed dating - I'd guess."

Burnley boss Sean Dyche says he is still trying to add "strength in numbers" to his squad as the Premier League season approaches.

"We're trying to bring in that depth that we think we need in the Premier League," says the man known as the Ginger Mourinho. Sadly, he admits that he doesn't have the budget of Mourinho Mark One. "We're minnows with what we can spend," he acknowledges.

Dyche says that despite being "one of the biggest underdogs here has been for a long time in the Premier League", he believes the Clarets will still be a "challenger" in the top flight.

Premier League chief Richard Scudamore is still in favour of adding a controversial 39th game to the season - and says he thinks the clubs are too.

The idea of playing an extra round of fixtures abroad was first floated in 2008, but drew fierce criticism from football fans and the media.

But Scudamore told the BBC: "The clubs wanted it then and they all would still probably want it now. It will happen at some point - whether it is on my watch, who knows?"

England Women are 24-2 after 12 overs on day one of their one-off Test against India at Wormsley. Opener Heather Knight departed for 1 while Lauren Winfield went for 8 leaving Tammy Beaumont and Charlotte Edwards at the crease.

Put a footballer on the spot and you'll probably get a few predictable answers. BBC Sport Wales TV's Solskjaer's quickfire confessions sees the Cardiff City manager name David Beckham as the most famous person he's ever met and the 1999 Champions League final as his greatest sporting moment.

But the response to his sporting hero? A certain fire-breathing midfield general who used to be his captain at Old Trafford.
