    BBC Sport's Elizabeth Ammon at Taunton: "Durham are advancing steadily towards victory here at a sun-basked Taunton.

    "It was captain Paul Collingwood who wrapped up the Somerset innings for 230 - a lead of 149. Peter Trego had put up a strong fight despite Somerset's dire situation in an impressive innings of 79.

    "Durham's chase began comfortably putting on 53 but some fierce fast bowling from Overton backed up by the spin of Rehman brought about two quick wickets as Durham lost both their openers in consecutive overs.

    "Scott Borthwick and Michael Richardson, who had an 144-run partnership in the first innings, have picked up the reins of the chase and have moved Durham to within 69 runs of victory."

    David Priestley:, external The only player who made Bobby Charlton feel inferior. Duncan Edwards.

    KirrubanKrishnarajah:, external Borg & McEnroe, a rivalry before I was born. Intrigued to see how good they would be with modern day equipment vs Federer, Nadal & Djokovic.

    Matthew Rouhani:, external Paolo Maldini so I could watch his effortless slide tackles or Van Basten so I could see his technically brilliant goals.

  4. Cricketpublished at 16:24 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    BBC Radio Bristol and BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Bob Hunt at Wantage Road:"Loose bowling, dropped catches and sensible batting during the afternoon have seemingly put the match out of Gloucestershire's reach.

    "After beginning watchfully, Josh Cobb and Rob Keogh accelerated during the afternoon, putting on 111 for the sixth wicket, and it was a surprise when Cobb fell to Kieran Noema-Barnett for 58.

    "It was equally surprising when Keogh, earlier dropped by Hamish Marshall at first slip, became Chris Dent's third first-class victim; the part-time left-armer trapping him leg before for 81.

    "Northants were 296-7 at tea, leading by 333."

  5. Hants need record total to beat Sussexpublished at 16:17 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    BBC Sussex's Adrian Hams at the Ageas Bowl: "Having decided not to enforce the follow-on, Sussex have been bowled out for 164 with Luke Wright making 61 and James Tomlinson taking 4-37.

    "Hampshire need 378 to win in 135 overs which would be the highest run chase at the Ageas Bowl."

  6. Leicestershire avoid follow-onpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    BBC Radio Wales' Nick Webb at Grace Road: "Ned Eckersley equalled his career best of 147 as Leicestershire comfortably avoided the possibility of having to follow on against Glamorgan, reaching 399-6 at tea.

    "The home side were eight runs short of maximum batting points despite the efforts of Niall O'Brien, who was 49 not out at the interval.

    "Eckersley was one of two batsmen caught at second slip by Dean Cosker off Craig Meschede in the space of three balls, Tom Wells falling the same way for nought.

    "Cosker took the other wicket, bowling Neil Pinner for four just after lunch, as Glamorgan's bowlers plugged away gamely on a batsmen-friendly strip."

  7. Yorkshire wrap up win over Worcestershirepublished at 16:07 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    It looked pretty even at New Road at the start of the day, but Yorkshire have shown why they're county champions by wrapping up a 10-wicket victory over promoted Worcestershire before tea on the third day.

    Steven Patterson took 5-11 and Jack Brooks 4-28 as the home side were bowled out for just 100 in their second innings.

    Captain Alex Lees then led the way with 52 not out as Yorkshire reached their target of 105 in just 17 overs.

  8. On this day - Scott celebrates Masters successpublished at 16:03 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    On this day in 2013, Adam Scott created his own piece of golfing history.

    The 32-year-old became the first Australian to win the Masters following a play-off against former winner Angel Cabrera.

    Scott was successful with a 15ft birdie putt on the second extra hole as the light faded across Augusta for his first Major win.

  9. Notts to set Middlesex huge targetpublished at 15:55 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    BBC Radio Nottingham's Dave Bracegirdle at Lord's: "Nottinghamshire have reached tea on 329-7 on the third day of their match with Middlesex at Lord's and hold an overall lead of 446.

    "James Taylor made 61, Chris Read is unbeaten on 48 and Alex Hales, Samit Patel and Riki Wessels all passed 30 as Notts look to put a victory target totally out of Middlesex's reach.

    "The surface is just starting to play one or two tricks, so Read may fancy that he doesn't need the full four sessions to bowl out the hosts as he weighs up when to announce the declaration."

  10. Saints sign Howardpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    Northampton Saints have signed South African centre Pat Howard from Western Province for next season.

    The 23-year-old, who won the Junior World Championship with South Africa in 2012, spent three months with Munster earlier this campaign, appearing in both the Pro 12 and European Champions Cup.

    Sam Oldham wants to challenge for medals in his first international competition since suffering a serious ankle injury at the Commonwealth Games.

    The 22-year-old returns to the Great Britain team for this week's European Championships after dislocating an ankle and rupturing ligaments in July.

    "It was an incredibly serious injury and I'm so far ahead of where I should be," Oldham told BBC Sport. "If I make the all-around final I'll be trying to make that podium."

  13. French Open increases prize moneypublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    Prize money at the French Open has been increased to more than 28m euros (£20.2m), with the singles champions each receiving 1.8m euros (£1.29m).

    That is 150,000 euros more than last year's champions Rafael Nadal and Maria Sharapova earned and an overall increase of three million euros.

    The biggest increases have come for those losing in the early rounds. Players beaten in the second and third rounds, and the quarter-finals, will win 20% more prize money than in 2014.

    The French Open remains the least financially rewarding of the grand slams to the players.

    Former Aston Villa defender Martin Keown believes the Midlands side could manage to hold on to striker Christian Benteke thanks to current boss Tim Sherwood.

    Benteke has eight goals in eight games under Sherwood and Keown says: "He must feel he has won the lottery because he has a manager who generates everything to him.

    "It's a nice position for the club if they are fending off offers for him but they will face that situation if it arises. But Fabian Delph was persuaded to stay when everyone thought he was leaving.

    "Villa are a big club with an ambitious manager and he is banging the drum and the players are following him. Benteke would not want to run away from that."

    Great Britain's world and European indoor 60m champion Richard Kilty is willing to bet £30,000 he would beat Arsenal pair Hector Bellerin and Theo Walcott in a sprint race.

    "Media claiming Hector Bellerin can run 4.42 seconds over 40m. Absolutely no way. Are these journalists complete morons!," says Kilty., external

    "I will put £30,000 on the line to race Hector Bellerin & Theo Walcott any sprint distance, any time, any place, anywhere.

    "The race will be over very quick. So if they put their money down I will gladly show everyone they cannot sprint as fast as the media claim."

  16. GB earn win over Estoniapublished at 15:07 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    Nottingham Panthers forward Robert Farmer netted a late game-winning goal as Great Britain beat Estonia 2-1 in their World Championship Division 1B encounter in the Netherlands.

    After Monday's dramatic 3-2 overtime victory over Croatia, Peter Russell's men made it two wins in a row.

    Estonia squandered a chance to take the lead when Robert Rooba missed his penalty shot, with Belfast Giants defenceman David Phillips making him pay by giving GB the lead.

    Rooba, though, made amends when he tied the game up before Farmer poked the puck in following a goalmouth scramble to win it for Britain.

    Arsenal midfielder Serge Gnabry says he is over the knee injury which has kept him out since March 2014.

    The Germany Under-21 international played for Arsenal's development squad as they lost 1-0 to Reading on Monday.

    "I am feeling good, I'm feeling better and better," says 19-year-old Gnabry.

    "It is my second 90 minutes (in the space of a week), I am playing and over my injury so it is all good and I am looking forward to the next game."

    Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller says the club's injury crisis has made the team stronger as a unit.

    The German outfit are without Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Bastian Schweinsteiger and David Alaba among others for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final in Porto on Wednesday.

    "For the (recent) games against Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen we had two matches where we played with a decimated squad and with few options," says Muller.

    "In those games we came closer together as a group, as a unit, and that will obviously help us against Porto."

  20. Championship will be close - Choprapublished at 14:40 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    Warwickshire captain Varun Chopra believes that this season's County Championship title race could once again prove a close-run thing.

    Only twice in the 15 years since the Championship was split into two divisions in 2000 has the title outcome proved a one-horse race.

    "It's going to be close again," Chopra said, ahead of the Bears' opener at home to promoted Hampshire on Sunday.

    "I think the standard in Division One will be even higher," he told BBC WM.
