    Masters champion Jordan Spieth shoots a nine-under-par round of 62 at the PGA Tour's RBC Heritage event in South Carolina - the lowest mark so far on day two.

    Spieth, 21, has recovered from being three over on day one to now sit six under, two shots off leader Matt Kuchar.

    Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell shared the lead overnight and despite being one under after 17 holes of day two, is now on the same mark as Spieth.

    Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic will not leave the Britannia Stadium this summer - hopes Potters boss Mark Hughes.

    The Bosnia international, 27, is out of contract in 2016 and Hughes is optimistic he will sign a new deal at the end of the season.

    "We are scheduled to have talks with Asmir's people in the next few weeks I think," say Hughes, whose team host Southampton on Saturday.

    "I think both parties have stated that probably at the end of the season those talks will come to a conclusion, and we are very hopeful Asmir will stay here.

    "He has attracted attention because he is an outstanding goalkeeper."

  4. Countdown to kick-off - Boro team newspublished at 17:50 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Middlesbrough are without defender Jonathan Woodgate, who has a hamstring problem.

    Defender Daniel Ayala (thigh) is a doubt, as is winger Albert Adomah (calf and ankle), while Chelsea loanee Tomas Kalas plays his final game for Aitor Karanka's men.

    Boro will climb above Bournemouth, Norwich and Watford to move top - for tonight at least - by taking all three points at Carrow Road.

    Midfielder Bradley Johnson is back in the Norwich squad after a two-match suspension and is expected to start.

    But striker Lewis Grabban, who was withdrawn from the bench against Leeds on Tuesday after re-injuring an ankle, faces a late fitness assessment.

    Second-placed Norwich will go two points clear of current leaders Bournemouth, who host Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, with a win.

    While we're on the subject of the Championship....

    The division's player of the season shortlist - Middlesbrough's Patrick Bamford, Watford's Troy Deeney and Ipswich's Daryl Murphy - is prompting plenty of discussion. Here are a few of your Tweets:

    Ben Chant: Not a single Bournemouth player on the Championship player of the season shortlist? What a load of rubbish.

    Chijioke Akwukwaegbu: Watford's Odion Ighalo is the best player in the championship. I'm surprised he's not on the list.

    Liam Wilson: Boro fan. Bamford doesn't just score goals, he's extremely intelligent, lot of those goals made by his movement and awareness.

  7. Countdown to kick-offpublished at 17:37 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Any plans for Friday evening? If so, we hope they have been organised around a humdinger of a Championship match.

    Second-placed Norwich host fourth-placed Middlesbrough at Carrow Road, with the winners knowing they will leap to the top of the second-tier table.

    If your plans do involve a trip to the movies, or sitting in the pub, then make sure you follow all the action with BBC Sport's live text commentary.

  8. Stoke eye Barca teenagerpublished at 17:31 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Stoke are planning to bring a little piece of Barcelona to the Potteries this summer - by snapping up Moroccan teenager Moha El Ouriachi from the Catalan club.

    "We are trying to improve the quality of the Under-21 group and Moha is one that we feel we can get over the line," says Potters boss Mark Hughes, who played for Barca in the 1980s.

    "If the Under 21s can impress there then they will push to get in my squad. Moha is predominantly left footed, he has good pace and he ticks a lot of the boxes that I like in a player."

    It has been 10 years since Shaun Murphy came all the way through qualifying to claim the 2005 World Championship title, but should he have had more? The man nicknamed 'The Magician' tells BBC Sport his #mysportingregret:

    "I regret not taking more a role in the 2009 final, John Higgins blew me away, I just did not compete in the match. Getting to the final was so difficult for me and I ran my race, I didn't have anything left to give.

    "I also regret the 2007 semi-final defeat to Mark Selby. I was 5-1 up and got caught up in the 'Jester from Leicester's' laughing and joking. It meant I took my foot off the gas and the next thing you know, I was shaking his hand at the end of the match."

  11. Hock hopes to 'shut up' Salford fanspublished at 17:22 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Gareth Hock

    Almost every player seems to receive plenty of stick when they return to a former club - but Leigh Centurions forward Gareth Hock is expecting more than most.

    And he tells BBC North West Tonight he hopes to 'shut up' Salford fans when he faces his former club for the first time in the Challenge Cup fifth round on Saturday.

    Hock, 31, left the Red Devils in February and had been threatened with legal action if he faced them because of a settlement agreement supposedly reached when he left.

    Championship leaders Leigh however have since said that Hock is available to play in the tie at the Leigh Sports Village.

    Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood says he is looking forward to taking a break from the Premier League club's relegation battle when they face Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final.

    "The livelihood of the club and relegation are not at stake on Sunday, it's about us maybe getting some glory," he says.

    "We have to impose ourselves on a very good Liverpool side and that's what we intend to do.

    "We think we've got a good blend, we've got a plan and we hope we can affect Liverpool."

    "The champion is here. Things just got serious at the Crucible with the arrival of 2014 World Championship winner Mark Selby. But the Jester from Leicester seems in a relaxed mood as he undergoes media duties ahead of his first round match against Kurt Maflin on Saturday at 10:00 BST.

    "The big question on everyone's lips is will he able to break 'the Crucible curse'? No first time champion has ever defender their crown."
