Kevin Pietersen will be plying his trade in Division two again today. But what is the situation in Division One? Well...

Warwickshire need eight wickets to register their first Championship win of the summer after Worcestershire ended day three at Edgbaston on 88-2, chasing a huge victory target of 437.

Durham will resume on 15-1, needing another 246 for victory, after bowling out Notts for just 178 on the second day of their game at Chester-le-Street, with paceman Mark Wood taking 4-39.

Middlesex will resume on 126-6 in their second innings against Sussex at Hove, a lead of 203, while Yorkshire will be looking to polish off the Hampshire tail after reducing them to 223-8 despite Michael Carberry's 97.

Sri Lankan batting great Kumar Sangakkara, a team-mate of Kevin Pietersen's at Surrey, has been talking to BBC Radio 4 in light of KP's triple-century:

"I don't think KP thought he had to do something dramatic. He was doing something after the incoming chairman said the door was open as long as KP scores runs. That motivated KP to do what he did yesterday.

"He withdrew from the IPL to pay county cricket - it showed he was keen and committed to making a comeback.

"He had to score runs and he did - in one of the best innings I have seen on a wicket that was a lot more difficult to play on than he made it look."

We asked for your views on Kevin Pietersen's England future. Here are some of them...

Bob, Devon: Re KP's 326, this is against a Division 2 bowling attack from a team who haven't won in 2 years. Hmmm.

Deborah, Manchester: Another case of talent being more important that civility and professionalism. If I spoke out about someone the way he has, or behaved as he has, how could I ever expect to be employed by them? But because he has talent that should override his behaviour?

Kenny, Glasgow: As a cricket fan, I find the KP situation absolutely ludicrous. As a fan, I want to see the greatest cricket players in the world playing at the highest level. I want to see a genuine 'edge of the seat' contest between bat and ball! Based on those two points, what is the point of following or watching England? They provide neither. As for Strauss, he's obviously a 'yes' man, but he's actually done remarkably well to turn the whole fraternity of cricket supporters against him a day before his first press conference...... Way to go!

Sticking with football and last night also served up an absolute belter of a play-off game from League One, with Swindon and Sheffield United drawing 5-5 in the second leg of their semi-final. Town progress to the final courtesy of their 2-1 win in the first leg, but the Blades walk away with their heads held high.

The game set a new record for the highest number of goals in a play-off semi-final - and Mark Cooper's side will now take on Preston in the League One play-off final at Wembley on 24 May.

Moving away from cricket (and KP) for a moment and into the world of football. Last night, Swansea snatched a dramatic late win at the Emirates thanks to Bafetimbi Gomis's header and denied Arsenal the opportunity to move level on points with Manchester City in second place in the Premier League.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger was able to name the same team for a fifth successive game for the first time since 1994 but it was unable to get a win, despite having the majority of possession and chances. It means the Swans have now done the double over Arsenal for the first time since the 1981-82 season. Cap doffed.

There's plenty of Pietersen supporters out there if the early polling in our vote is anything to go by - with about 75% saying he should play for England again.

What does Andrew Strauss have to deal with first - after KP - in his new role?

"He has to appoint a coach. And what is the coach doing? It's not obvious.

"He has to ask if we're overloading players, particularly at the academy, and go back to players learning from playing cricket rather than being in a regulated system.

"And who picks the team? It's unclear who picks the team in many cricket sides. Perhaps selection should be taken out of the dressing room?

"In terms of Andrew Strauss, do you want someone to be interesting or good at their job? There's a massive misconception that the way to connect with the cricket public is by saying a lot."

We asked you if you thought Kevin Pietersen should play for England again and, if so, why. Here are some of your replies...

Niall Tasker: The squad should be picked based on players form rather than personal feelings of individuals.

Paul Campbell: No KP should not play for England again. Takes England backwards and he is a player that disrupts the dressing room.

Si Garnett: If Kevin Pietersen had hit 326 on Thursday/Friday last week he could have had his own majority parliament.

Ed Smith has been very forceful in his opinion that Kevin Pietersen should not be in the England side, telling BBC Radio 5 live that...

"I think it would be Andrew Strauss's own view. It's complicated. Where will he get in the side?

"He's a middle order batsman, which is the strongest element of the England side.

"Then there's the book he wrote criticising current England players and then his commitment - he has deals to play in competitions abroad.

"Fans are not divided. Social media is divided and social media is a poor reflection of cricket."

Kevin Pietersen and the rest of the Surrey side will be continuing their game with Leicestershire from 11:00 BST, with the batsman having the opportunity to put further pressure on the ECB by adding to his 326 runs. His side are 528-9 in response to Leicestershire's first-innings 292 all out. You can follow that via local radio commentary on our cricket page.

At around the same time, Andrew Strauss should be meeting the media. Lovely stuff.

There will be plenty of people having plenty to say about Kevin Pietersen today. But what does the man himself have to say? BBC Sport had a chat with the batsman after his career-best 326 not out on Monday, during which he said he is in the best form of his career and reiterated his desire to play for England again.

Allies of Kevin Pietersen have been taking to social media to support their friend.

Australian cricket legend Shane Warne points the finger at the ECB, while broadcaster Piers Morgan pretty much points the finger everywhere...

I suspect we may hear the number 326 quite a few times today. The Sun's, external back page is dominated by it, along with the suggestion that things may well get a touch awkward for Strauss when he meets the press later. That should be happening around 11:00 BST so make sure you're within viewing distance of Sportsday to get all the latest.

The back pages are awash with KP today. The Times , externalfocus the question on Andrew Strauss, stating that Pietersen has given the incoming director of cricket 326 reasons to pick him. If it is indeed true that the Surrey man is not going to be selected, then hopefully we'll find out later a few of the reasons why not.

Good morning all. We need to talk about Kevin.

The Kevin in question is, of course, Mr Pietersen; England's leading run-scorer in all formats, in many people's opinion still the best batsman the nation has at its disposal, arguably the most divisive figure in modern English sport, a man who wants to play for his country and the scorer this week of a career-best 326 not out.

He was also reportedly told last night by incoming ECB director of cricket Andrew Strauss that he will never play for England again.

Strauss is meeting the press later today. He won't have a choice but to talk about Kevin.
