  1. Guardiola dismisses City rumourpublished at 13:18 British Summer Time 20 April 2015

    Pep Guardiola insists he will remain Bayern Munich's coach next season, despite reports he is set to take over at Manchester City when his current contract expires in June 2016.

    "My future is: Wednesday free, Thursday training, and, of course, next year to be here. That's my future," said Guardiola, pictured here in this rather arty shot.

    BBC Sport's Elizabeth Ammon at Hove for Sussex v Worcestershire:

    "Another glorious day in Hove, not a cloud in the sky and the deckchairs are heavily populated.

    "There's plenty of pace and bounce in the pitch and a fast outfield. Matthew Hobden took two quick wickets in the first half an hour bowling from the sea end.

    "Richard Oliver has played very responsibly despite been given two let offs after being dropped twice by Craig Cachopa. He and Alex Gidman have put on a 73-run partnership for the third wicket.

    "It's a very good wicket here at the County Ground with something in it for both batsmen and bowlers which has produced an entertaining morning's cricket in front of a decent crowd."

  3. County Championship updatespublished at 13:11 British Summer Time 20 April 2015

    BBC Leeds commentator Dave Callaghan at Nottinghamshire v Yorkshire:

    "The first day saw Notts in control with Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie admitting his team had bowled badly.

    "But he would have been happier on the morning of day two as Yorkshire grabbed three wickets for 35 runs to dismiss the home side for 428.

    "One of those to go was Alex Hales, who had played superbly for his 236. Steve Patterson was the pick of the Yorkshire bowlers with 3-78.

    "Yorkshire began their reply and at lunch they will be satisfied with progress - they're 62 for no wicket from 16 overs."

  4. County Championship updatespublished at 13:05 British Summer Time 20 April 2015

    BBC Radio Wales's Nick Webb with the latest from Glamorgan v Surrey in Cardiff:

    "Steven Davies led the way for Surrey with 167 not out as they moved remorselessly on to 495-5 by lunch on day two against Glamorgan at the Swalec Stadium.

    "Kumar Sangakkara reached 149 on his Surrey debut before the veteran Sri Lankan drove David Lloyd to Will Bragg at cover, ending a stand worth 294.

    "Jason Roy contributed a breezy 32 in a 50 stand with Davies before Andy Carter had him caught behind.

    "Surrey could look towards a declaration in the afternoon session if they want plenty of time to try to bowl Glamorgan out twice."

    Interesting going-ons at Sheffield Wednesday.
