    Kumar Sangakkara scored an unbeaten 113 and then returned to break the world record for the most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in one-day internationals as Sri Lanka beat New Zealand by 34 runs in the seventh and final match in Wellington.

    It was the 37-year-old's 21st ODI and he then passed Australia's Adam Gilchrist as the most successful wicketkeeper when he caught Corey Anderson off the bowling of Shaminda Eranga before also taking Tim Southee off Thisara Perera.

    It takes his career total to 474 dismissals with 378 catches and 96 stumpings in the 50-over format when he played as a wicketkeeper while Gilchrist achieved 472 dismissals in 287 one-day matches.

    Unfortunately for Sangakkara, and despite his heroics, New Zealand win the one-day series 4-2.

    This is going worryingly well now.

    Andy Murray is looking like a completely different man to the fella who limped and muttered his way through the opener, losing it on a tiebreak.

    He won the second set 6-0 and has just taken the third as well, 6-3.

    One set from the final, go on, Andy lad. We never doubted you...

  9. Who is Che Adams?published at 11:05 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2015

    And while we're talking about the Sheffield United youngster, may we be so bold as to point you in the direction of a rather splendid article from our colleagues at Newsbeat.

    Here's the low-down on the man - or boy to be more accurate - who gave Spurs that almighty fright in the League Cup.

  10. Good but must do betterpublished at 11:03 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2015

    Che Adams has only been on the planet for 18 years and it's a fair guess to say the best evening of his existence so far came at Bramall Lane last night.

    The teenager scored two goals in as many minutes to take Sheffield United to the brink of League Cup glory against Tottenham. In the end it wasn't to be, but what a night for the youngster ... though it didn't spare him some words of advice from his manager.

    "He has a lot of potential at just 18," said Blades boss Nigel Clough. "But he has to learn not to slide in the corner and celebrate when we need a goal.

    "He has got to go and get the ball out of the back of the net and put it on the centre spot. Little things like that he can improve on."

    Talk about being brought back down to earth...

  11. Get involved - non-league gemspublished at 11:02 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2015

    We're asking for the best players to rise from obscurity to make a name for themselves?

    Here's a suggestion from one of our Bradford City-supporting colleagues...

    James HansonImage source, Getty Images

    James Hanson, cost £7,500 from non-League Guiseley. Huge work rate and adored by the fans. Scored the goal at Villa Park that took us to the 2013 League Cup final and scored as City won the League Two play-off final later that year. A legend at the club with a chant of "he used to work at the co-op" ringing out after every goal in reference to his work in a local supermarket when playing non-league football.

    That's the kind of thing we're after.

  13. Less folk in the poolpublished at 10:52 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2015

    The number of people swimming regularly has dropped as fewer people take part in sporting activities in general, a Sport England survey has found.

    A total of 2.6m people took part in swimming at least once a week for 30 minutes between October 2013 and October 2014 - a drop of 245,000.

    The number of people participating in regular sport is 15.6m, down 125,000, while there are also 121,700 fewer disabled people playing sport regularly, with 1.58m now taking part.

    There is a big interview with Lee Dixon on the Arsenal website, to celebrate 27 years since the full-back signed for the club.

    If you want to see more of Lee and that jumper ('80s fashion was great, wasn't it?), then head here, external.

    It is fair to say that Dixon - who joined the Gunners from Stoke in a £375,000 deal in 1988 - did pretty well at Arsenal, staying there 14 years, making 619 appearances, and helping the club win nine major trophies.

  15. Liverpool chase teenage starpublished at 10:43 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2015

    Daily Express, external: Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is preparing a £29m bid to beat Paris St-Germain, Real Madrid and Juventus to the signature of 17-year-old midfielder Ruben Neves, known as the 'new Sergio Busquets' at Porto.

  16. Murray levels itpublished at 10:32 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2015

    Forget what we saying about a possible injury ... good news - Andy Murray is back in business, and in some style too.

    It looks like the British number one might have been a bit cheesed off with losing the first set, because he's roared back by taking the second 6-0.

    Good lad, that's more like it. Long way to go yet though...

  18. West Ham news conferencepublished at 10:26 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2015

    Liverpool might be shattered after their extra-time League Cup efforts against Chelsea on Tuesday, is the gist of the question put to Sam Allardyce.

    "It does give us an opportunity," agrees the Hammers boss.

    "But I think Liverpool are in the best form they've had all season. I expect a very difficult game, but one we look forward to."

    He's asked how much a goal would mean to front-man and former red Andy Carroll. "I'm sure Andy would like to score at Anfield but we don't want him to get over-anxious about going out to prove anything," said Allardyce.

    Sam Allardyce is asked about the chances of doing a deal for Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher.

    He replies: "It is still a possibility. The move isn't dead yet but we'll see."

    Asked if he wants to bring a striker in, Allardyce adds: "With us having Valencia, Sakho, Cole and Carroll we have more than enough frontmen to cope with demand this season."

    The Hammers play Liverpool on Saturday in the Premier League and first question to boss Sam Allardyce is about injuries.

    "We have a few knocks and bruises and one or two lads who have been on the treatment bench this week, particularly Song, Tomkins and Jenkinson - so we're waiting to see how they are," said the gaffer.

    "Tomkins and Jenkinson are touch and go. Collins is joining in training today so hopefully he'll be ok."
