  1. Greg Dyke defends FApublished at 12:53 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2014

    Greg Dyke has given his reaction to Fifa's criticisms of the English FA during the bidding process of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

    "I'm less worried about what it says about the FA than the whole thing and it doesn't seem to add anything to what we already knew," Dyke, chairman of the FA, told Sky Sports News.

    "I still don't understand why the 2022 World Cup was given to Qatar when Fifa's own technical committee said it would be high risk.

    "I'm pretty certain the tournament won't be held in the summer. Isn't that an odd decision? The Qatar bid was advertised as for the summer of 2022. The people who won it can't play in the summer of 2022, yet they still won."

  2. Ferrer replaces Raonic in Londonpublished at 12:49 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2014

    Some breaking news from the ATP World Tour Finals as Milos Raonic has withdrawn from the remainder of the competition in London with a "low-grade tear in his quad".

    David Ferrer will replace him in today's match against Kei Nishikori.

  3. I was trying too hard - Lallanapublished at 12:41 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2014

    Adam Lallana says he has been "trying a bit too hard" to catch the eye since his move to Liverpool.

    The attacking midfielder joined the Reds for £25m in the summer and has scored one goal in 12 appearances so far.

    "I always knew it was going to be difficult settling in," he told the club's website, external. "I was so desperate to do well, maybe trying a bit too hard to impress, not doing things that I'd normally do.

    "Gradually, the more I've played, my form has improved and I'm getting closer to the levels I was at last season for Southampton. There's still an improvement to be made but I'm getting there."

  5. Fifa vice-president speakspublished at 12:27 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2014

    More reaction to the Fifa report criticising England.

    Britain's Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce said he hoped lessons had been learned from the chain of events that led to Fifa's report.

    "The findings would appear to confirm that no further action should be taken on the decisions that had been made by FIFA in respect of the awarding of the World Cups for 2018 and 2022," he said.

    "The people charged with issuing this report, Michael Garcia and Hans-Joachim Eckert, are people of the highest professional integrity and following their extensive investigations I feel it is now very important that people should concentrate solely on the wonderful occasion that the World Cup provides to the many millions of people who enjoy our game."

    Wonder if he'll change his mind when he hears Garcia's comments about his report being 'misrepresented' and 'incomplete'?

  6. Fifa report 'incomplete and contains errors'published at 12:21 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2014

    An incredible twist to the World Cup story, which saw England's 2018 bid criticised as "harming Fifa's image".

    Michael Garcia, the man who investigated and compiled the original report, has said it has been misrepresented by Fifa and is incomplete.

    "It contains numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of the facts and conclusions," says Garcia.

    So, in simple terms, it means that a Fifa official who compiled the report, is now criticising Fifa's report. Shambles.

  7. No changes for Scotlandpublished at 12:16 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2014

    Scotland have named an unchanged side for Saturday's visit of world champions New Zealand to Murrayfield.

    Head coach Vern Cotter has kept faith with the 15 that started the impressive 41-31 win over Argentina last weekend.

    It means that all five of the match-winning try-scorers - locks Jonny and Richie Gray and back-three trio Stuart Hogg, Sean Maitland and Tommy Seymour - earn a return to the fold.

    The match starts at 5.30pm on Saturday and is live on BBC Two, Radio 5 live sports extra and the BBC Sport website.

  8. Sharma: 'I could have batted another 50 overs'published at 12:05 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2014

    The man responsible for hitting the highest ever one-day score looks as fresh as a daisy as he gives an interview immediately after his wonder innings of 264.

    "I am not really tired because I have just had a two month break," says Rohit Sharma. "I was ready to bat another 50 overs.

    "Once I got to 50 I knew that I had to convert because it was a god batting wicket. We wanted to get a big score and that made me want to stay there as long as possible."

    Here's a stat for you which puts Sharma's score into perspective ... his 264 is 18 runs more than the average total by teams batting first in one-day internationals this decade.

    India's 404, by the way, was just 14 runs short of their highest ever one-day score of 418.

  9. New discussion - get involvedpublished at 12:04 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2014

    Our discussion point is turning more than a Shane Warne googly today. Right, we are moving from a very serious subject of Fifa and World Cup corruption, and to a less serious one of the great sporting records of all time.

    We have been inspired by Rohit Sharma's incredible 264, and we want those 'wow' moments in sport.

    No wonder Keegan Brown looks so pleased. The World Youth Champion defeated five-times world champion Raymond van Barneveld last night to reach the last eight of the Grand Slam of Darts.

    Brown, 22, works as a medical lab assistant at a hospital in the Isle of Wight and has taken holiday to compete in Wolverhampton.

    "Van Barneveld is probably the second greatest player ever behind Phil Taylor. I'm absolutely over the moon," Brown told BBC Radio Solent.

    There are four more second-round ties this evening, with defending Grand Slam champion Phil Taylor and reigning BDO world champion Stephen Bunting among the players in action.

  13. Cricketpublished at 11:49 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2014

    That's it, it's all over, and Rohit Sharma is the toast not just of India but the world.

    The batsman has just clattered his way into the record books, smacking a sensational 264 off 172 balls - the highest ever individual score in one-day cricket and way ahead of the previous best, 219 by Sharma's fellow Indian Virender Sehwag.

    He holed out off the final ball of India's innings and, as you'd expect, was given a huge reception as he walked off the field.

    India have finished on a whopping 404-5 against Sri Lanka, who have yet to bat and - if they didn't already know it - are distinctly second-favourites to win this game.

    All hail Sharma - what a performance and a record that is surely to stand for many years to come.

  15. Sharma moves to 250 not outpublished at 11:41 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2014

    India's Rohit Sharma is playing the most astonishing one-day innings you will ever see.

    He's hitting every ball bowled to him for runs. The Sri Lankan bowlers do not have a clue what to do.

    Sharma is way beyond the previous best ever ODI score of 219, set by fellow Indian Virender Sehwag, and has just moved to 250 not out.

    Astonishing. The fist man ever to get to 250 in a one day international.

    Cricket fans listen up. One of the best one-day international batting performances of all time is happening at the moment.

    India's Rohit Sharma has blasted 227 from 160 balls against Sri Lanka - that is the highest ever score in one-day cricket. Ever. What a guy. He replaces Virender Sehwag as the record-holder - Sehweg only got a paltry 219.

    And Sharma is still going strong. We'll let you know how many he gets...

    India, meanwhile, are a mammoth 362-4 and they still have three overs of their innings left.

    The defender was sent off versus Aldershot in the Conference but instead of going back to the dressing room, he went to BBC Hereford & Worcester's commentary team to apologise for the red card.

    "I just want to say sorry to the fans, the players and staff," said Hodgkiss. "It was a little error in positioning, I've pulled at his shirt half-heartedly, the lad's made the most of it and I've seen red."

    Jamie Donaldson, Sergio Garcia and Marcel Siem can still overtake McIlroy at the top of the Race to Dubai, but only if they win both in Turkey and next week's season-ending DP World Tour Championship.

    Siem and Donaldson are on two under par, while Garcia is one under.

    Scotland's Marc Warren is setting the early pace on four under after four birdies in his first six holes.
