BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Bob Hunt at Wantage Road: "Only one wicket fell in an afternoon session that never really fell short of turgid.

"Chris Dent only added 20 runs in two hours for Gloucestershire, who, despite batting fluently in the morning, became happy to accept the inevitable draw with Northants, as they reached the tea interval on 235-2, still trailing the hosts by 218.

"It was the spin of Rob Keogh that brought the only success as he trapped Gareth Roderick in front for 52, the wicketkeeper's second half century of the match, adding to his record-equalling six victims in Northants' first innings."

BBC Wales' Nick Webb at Grace Road: "Leicestershire reached tea on 34-2 after being set a demanding target of 306 in a minimum of 50 overs by Glamorgan.

"The Welsh county upped the run-rate after lunch with Chris Cooke reaching 81 and Craig Meschede belting a rapid 33 before Jacques Rudolph declared on 227-7.

"The Foxes made a nervous start as Dan Redfern and Ned Eckersley were back in the pavilion with only a single on the board, but Angus Robson and Mark Cosgrove survived to the interval to get the home side within sight of a draw after a match of fluctuating fortunes."

BBC London 94.9's Kevin Hand: "Middlesex continue to battle to save the draw at tea on the final day - they are 235-5 but the momentum is very much with Nottinghamshire.

"Three wickets fell in the session, including the foundation of the innings Nick Compton (85), but captain Adam Voges remains unbeaten on 66 and, with Dawid Malan unable to bat, much now rests on him.

"The pitch continues to play well but the new ball is only eight overs old and remains a threat for the visitors."

The conviction carries a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Newcastle fans are planning to boycott Sunday's home match against Tottenham after it was revealed the club had more than £34m in their bank account at the end of the last financial year.

Newcastle recently announced a record annual profit of £18.7m for 2013-14, but many fans have criticised the ambition of owner Mike Ashley.

"A lot of fans would ask why was a significant portion of that money not spent on team strengthening," said Newcastle fanzine editor Mark Jensen.

"The idea of a boycott has been building for a long time and you can't blame the fans. The frustrating thing for them is the money is there but the club won't spend it."

"England are still in a strong position after day two of the first Test against the West Indies. After reaching 399 in their first innings, they reduced the hosts to 155-4 in reply.

"With the new ball due before lunch on day three, it's perfectly possible they could bowl West Indies out quite cheaply and have a healthy first-innings lead to build on. So I'd much rather be in the England dressing-room at the moment.

"However, that only tells half the story of a rather frustrating day for England that saw them squander some of the advantage gained on a dominant first day through tentative cricket."
