    Fifa have called a news conference at 5pm.

    Here is what we know so far:

    • Jerome Valcke, Sepp Blatter's top deputy has denied allegations that he is the high-ranking official who made key payments in a bribery scandal.

    • Last Wednesday seven senior Fifa officials were detained at an annual convention in Zurich, among 14 people indicted by US prosecutors. Valcke and Blatter were not among the seven.

    • On the same day, Fifa was also rocked by the news that Swiss authorities had begun a separate criminal investigation into how the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were allocated.

    • Fifa has provisionally suspended Concacaf general secretary Enrique Sanz from all football-related activities.

    • Congolese Football Association vice-president Jean Guy Blaise Mayolas and general secretary Badji Mombo Wantete have also been suspended for apparent "breaches of the Fifa code of ethics".

    Sussex will face no punishment despite the pitch for their Championship match against Warwickshire at Hove last week being rated as "poor" by the umpires.

    Sussex beat the Bears inside three days, with neither side scoring more than 200 runs in either innings.

    The England & Wales Cricket Board requires that counties "shall actively prepare the best quality pitch that it can" for matches they stage.

    A committee found there was no evidence Sussex had breached this requirement.

    "Northants are struggling for survival against Glamorgan, after being forced to follow on 214 runs behind.

    "Graham Wagg struck twice early in the visitors' second innings after Andrew Salter and Craig Meschede both claimed cheap three-wicket hauls in their first knock.

    "Adam Rossington and Josh Cobb both made fifties for Northants but their partnership was ended when Rossington was run out backing up at the non-striker's end."
