    No Gareth Bale. And no Karim Benzema. Real Madrid will have to cope without two thirds of their usual frontline as the pair were ruled out of the Champions League quarter-final second leg. But they do have Cristiano Ronaldo so let's not feel too much sympathy for them, eh?

    Wales forward Bale has a calf problem and France striker Benzema has a knee injury, leaving Ronaldo, Javier Hernandez and Jese Rodriguez as Real's fit forwards.

    West Ham have announced that their cheapest adult season ticket in the 2016-17 season will cost £289, down from between £620 and £940 for the 2014-15 campaign. That works out at just a touch over £15 per home league game.

    Here's a few Twitter followers' thoughts on what would be a fair price...

    Josh Daniels: The equivalent at a theatre or a concert costs £50-£70, a top Premier League game is comparable and so should the pricing be.

    Jack Connor: Easy for West Ham to lower prices, in their oversized stadium paid for by tax payers. Not all clubs have that luxury.

    James Porter: You are always going to pay more for bigger clubs like Chelsea but we shouldn't pay more than £40, would build more atmosphere

  16. Chopra remains steadfast for Warwickshirepublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    BBC Radio Solent's Kevan James at Edgbaston: "Three wickets in the afternoon session briefly gave Hampshire some hope that a victory might be possible.

    "But captain Varun Chopra (71 not out off 223 balls) has been steadfast throughout and made sure the home side did not lose another wicket in the hour before tea.

    "Indeed Chopra scored just 26 runs in the session."

  17. Notts batsmen defy Yorkshirepublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    BBC Radio Leeds' Dave Callaghan at Trent Bridge: "Notts look set to earn a draw after some determined batting against Yorkshire on the final afternoon to reach 292-7, a lead of 279 with just 32 overs left in the day's play.

    "The champions have stuck to their task, but have surely now run out of overs to force a win.

    "Important runs from Samit Patel (76), Riki Wessels (43) and Chris Read (40 not out) have tipped the game towards stalemate, but with injury problems and Test calls, Yorkshire will take the draw and feel satisfied."
