England announce 13-man squad for Ashes
Football transfer window opens
Blind appointed Netherlands coach
Connor Bowen: They've put Rashid in to make it look like a selection dilemma but he won't be picked. They will stick with Moeen.
Rich Hird: Should be picking Bairstow, hitting 200+ for Yorkshire and saving England in ODIs. Gives Buttler a chance to recover as well.
Conor Matchett: Rashid is a necessary pick, but start with Ali for a test before chucking him in. England will need a full-time spinner.
Adil Rashid reveals it was not new coach Trevor Bayliss who told him of his selection in a 13-man squad for the first Ashes Test next week: "I haven't actually spoken to him yet but I got a message from one of the selectors telling me I was in so I'm very delighted.
"It's nice to be part of the squad, if I do get a heads up to play I will obviously try my best, if I don't it is always a learning curve."
Bad news for Britain's Liam Broady.
The 21-year-old from Stockport, who pulled off a sensational five-set win over Marinko Matosevic on Monday, is out of Wimbledon after coming unstuck against Belgian number 16 seed David Goffin.
Image source, Getty ImagesAfter a close first set, Broady - perhaps feeling the after-effects of that exhausting five-setter - lost 6-7 (3-7) 1-6 1-6.
Still, that £47,000 prize money for reaching round two will soften the blow a little.
Champion and number one seed Novak Djokovic has started his second round match against Jarkko Nieminen. It's currently 5-4 to the champ - you can follow that, and all the Wimbledon action, here.
Australia coach Darren Lehmann with his thoughts on the England squad: "Pretty much as we thought it would be so we'll have to play well. They've got some quality players but we've got a lot of blokes who have played county cricket so we know them."
[On the injury to seamer Ryan Harris] "He's going to have some scans done and well know more in a day or two. Well get down to Cardiff, have a look at the wicket and work out what the best attack is to get 20 wickets."
BBC Radio Solent Sport:, external The Ageas Bowl release 2,000 extra seats for September's ODI between England & Australia. Will take capacity up to 21,000.
So what do you think of the England cricket squad?
Seven of the 13-man team have never played in a home series against the Aussies before.
Have the selectors got the balance right or are there a few glaring omissions - Jonny Bairstow perhaps? And how do you rate our chances this summer?
Let us know now at #bbcsportsday
Image source, ReutersUncapped Yorkshire leg-spinner Adil Rashid is included in a 13-man England squad for the first Ashes Test with Australia in Cardiff next Wednesday.
The 27-year-old took eight wickets in the recent one-day series win against New Zealand but was not chosen by new coach Trevor Bayliss for the four-day bonding trip to Spain.
Fast bowlers Liam Plunkett and Mark Footitt, who were part of that training squad, are not selected.
England squad: Alastair Cook, Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Gary Balance, Ian Bell, Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler, Steven Finn, Adam Lyth, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Mark Wood.
Surrey will bid to host one of the six new Women's Super League franchises, while Hampshire are also considering the possibility of having a side in the competition.
The England and Wales Cricket Board has pledged £3m for a new professional competition from 2016, with the process to determine hosts under way.
"It's very early days, but something we're looking in to," Hampshire commercial director Stuart Robertson told BBC Radio Solent.
Surrey will look to use The Oval as the focus of its bid. "Our vision is this team will share the same resources and facilities available to the Surrey players and the international teams that currently play at The Oval," a club spokesman said.
We've all had bad days on the pitch - but none quite as bad as JK Raudteetoolised.
The club from Estonia's lowest footballing league have been walloped 31-0 by top-flight outfit Paide Linnameeskond.
Raudteetoolised were 19-0 down by half-time but managed to stem the flow after the break - conceding just the 12.
Linnameeskond midfielder Sander Sinilaid helped himself to eight goals, while attacker Sander Roivassepp went one better and scored nine times.
Still, at least the Raudteetoolised players saw the funny side, posing for this pic after the final whistle...

BBC Sport at Chelmsford
"Entertaining stuff at an increasingly sticky Chelmsford, where we have now reached lunch.
"Australia break on 135-3, David Warner falling in the penultimate over before the interval, dabbing Jamie Porter to gully for 94. The opener had been set for a hundred in a session.
"Essex looked set for a day chasing leather, but have stuck to their task. There's been runs, wickets, sun and some good fun."
John C Lawton: Has any manager ever been sacked after winning seven of last eight games in charge?
Gary Hornsby: Nigel Worthington spotted walking into the King Power...

Signed Orange: An actual ostrich. They are a minority in sport and are looked over time and again for management roles.
Fair point Orange, but how would they get their tactics across?

The 23-year-old scored 16 times from 31 league starts during Watford's promotion-winning campaign, adding to the 22 goals he scored during his first year at Vicarage Road in 2012-13.
Ben Moore: I saw Klopp on the train to Leicester this morning... I think I'd take him as the new manager at a push. Or Guardiola.
Euan Wilson: The man who should replace Pearson is obviously Ian Holloway. Terrible in the Prem and you'll go down but he'll get you playoffs.
Image source, Getty ImagesAaron Bott: Gus Hiddink to replace Nigel Pearson. He heard about the impending vacancy at Leicester and quit the Netherlands.
Alan Carr: Survived first season in the Prem with an average squad? Big Sam is their best option. Act now and get a free Kevin Nolan!
