    BBC Radio Wales' Nick Webb at Cardiff: "Glamorgan reached tea on 57-0 in their bid for survival on the final day against Surrey, after being set an improbable 352 in a minimum of 57 overs.

    "The visitors batted on for a further seven overs after lunch, declaring on 207 for 4 with Kevin Pietersen top-scoring on 53 not out.

    "But Gareth Batty's decision to make virtually sure of avoiding defeat allowed Glamorgan to bat towards a draw, after scraping past the follow-on figure last night."

    Worcestershire suffer another second-innings batting collapse as they lose by 61 runs against Sussex

    Resuming on 47-0 needing another 200 for victory, the visitors stumbled to 185 all out as Ajmal Shahzad took 5-46.

    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...

    Andy Brook: No reason for any football ticket to cost more than £20.

    Nick: What about random 'pay what you like games'? It would bring in new fans who can't afford normal prices every game.

    Craig Cameron: A fair price is always the point that supply meets demand. Media complains about Arsenal, but waiting list is huge

  4. England's selection policy is 'the best'published at 16:03 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    More from Wasps director of rugby Dai Young, who believes selecting foreign-based players has "wrecked" Welsh regional rugby.

    "You see falling crowds, everybody wants to see their top stars. The games aren't as attractive with your top stars not playing," says the ex-Wales captain.

    "You lose control over your players as well, as in their fitness, their condition and their welfare and so on. To me England's stance is absolutely right and they should stick to it, otherwise you will see the quality of the Premiership dwindle.

    "I've seen it from Wales, and it's done much more harm than good allowing players to go. I certainly think England's stance is by far the best."

  5. 'Welsh selection policy wrecked regional game'published at 16:00 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Wasps director of rugby (and former Wales captain) Dai Young has been talking international selection policy following the news that Australia will now select overseas-based players if they have more than 60 caps.

    And it is strong stuff. Young says Wales' policy of selecting those playing outside of the country "wrecked" regional rugby.

    He adds the decision put domestic Welsh rugby under "a hell of a lot of pressure", while he believes England's policy of not selecting players who are based abroad "is absolutely right".

  6. Liverani banking on Orient 'quality'published at 15:51 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Leyton Orient manager Fabio Liverani says his squad still have the quality to survive relegation from League One.

    The O's are two points from safety with two games of the season remaining after Tuesday's 1-0 defeat at Rochdale.

    "Clearly we have to win both games and, at the same time, have to hope that the other teams don't do better than us," the Italian tells BBC London 94.9.

    "I believe in the players and believe we have the quality to win both games. Then, we will see."

    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...

    Ross: £20 adult, £10 concession, £5 under 12s.

    Mark Smith: £20-£25 is a fair price but other leagues need help not just the Premier League. Their prices are high too.

    John Ireland: £20-£30 would be fair for a game where entertainment is never guaranteed unlike theatre or cinema

  9. Hard beating 'brother' Williams - Stevenspublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Matthew Stevens talking about his 10-2 win against Mark Williams on BBC Two: "It was most unexpected really - I don't think I've beaten him since 2003. But I didn't say that to him, I was just trying to keep it out of my head. I felt comfortable out there, to beat Mark even 10-9 would be difficult. So to win 10-2 is beyond my wildest dreams really."

    On eliminating his long-time friend Williams: "It's not nice, we have grown up with each other since we were young. We are like brothers. It is hard but we are both professionals and luckily for me it was my turn to win."

    "The bottom line is we need to win two games of football. It is time for me to put the players under pressure and say that Saturday we need to beat Derby."

  17. Get involvedpublished at 14:49 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Joe Shaughnessy: £20-35. Season tickets need lowering the most though, anything over £1000 is a joke!

    Russell Newcombe: I think £40 for top of the league £20 for bottom an a sliding scale.

    Aidan: £15 maximum. Bundesliga games are less than that though despite Germany having a better quality league.
