Well that's pretty much it from Sportsday today - thanks for all your messages.

But you can still catch the close of play in the Women's Ashes Test over here if you're quick. 

It's not been a good day for England though...

See you again bright and early tomorrow, from 08:00 BST. 

In case you missed it earlier, Xherdan Shaqiri shirts have been flying off the pegs at Stoke City since his £12m transfer from Inter Milan. 

His is the fastest selling shirt in the club's history, external - and earlier on I plumped for Bojan as being the likely number two. 

Now I'm having second thoughts. 

What about Rory Delap? Michael Duberry? Or how many would Stanley Matthews have sold now?

Mark Hughes looks pleased as punch in that photo.

Just the three in  Eden Hazard, Alexis Sanchez and Nemanja Matic as far as I can see. Could well be something in that, Guy...

Ah Mario, where have you gone? Will you ever come back?

Has your club been linked to Chile international midfielder Charles Aranguiz this summer? 

If so you can stand down - here he is arriving in Germany this afternoon. Unless you're a Bayer Leverkusen fan that is...

The 26-year-old is set to sign for the Bundesliga club, German paper Bild are reporting.

South Africa coach Heyneke Meyer says that his team is behind him, despite accusations he is not picking enough black players.

Peter de Villiers, the Springboks' only black boss to date, accused Meyer of taking the country "back to the late '80s" , external with his team selection for Saturday's shock defeat by Argentina.

Meyer's starting XV included one mixed-race player and one who is black.

"I don't look at colour, I look at the best players," he said.

Former England World Cup-winner Will Greenwood believes Wales will not progress from their World Cup group.

Wales will face England and Australia in Twickenham in Group A, with the top two making it into the quarter-finals.

Greenwood, who won the Cup in 2003, says home advantage will be a deciding factor in England's favour and Australia will be too strong for Wales.

"I really don't think people can underestimate Twickenham," Greenwood told BBC Radio Wales Sport.

He does though, think that England will make at least the semi-finals...

There are still about 20 overs left of the day's play in Canterbury but are England even going to last that long? 

Laura Marsh is the latest to fall as the home side continue to suffer - they are now 129-8, 145 runs behind Australia's first-innings total with just two wickets left...

You can follow live text commentary on that one here.

Colleagues of Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro say she "has been treated harshly" after criticism from boss Jose Mourinho for being "naive".

Carneiro, 41, treated injured Eden Hazard in the final minutes ofChelsea's 2-2 draw with Swansea.

It meant the player had to go off the pitch, leaving Chelsea with nine men following Thibaut Courtois's red card.

Carneiro looks set to lose her place on the bench for the next Premier League match against Manchester City.

Former City physio Eamonn Salmon, now chief executive of the Football Medical Association (FMA) , external which represents professional medical staff in the sport, said Carneiro and first-team physio Jon Fearn's had "conducted themselves with integrity and professionalism".

And here's the unlucky souls who got a vote but didn't quite make the top 10.

You might spot a familiar name in 19...

11 Arjen Robben (NED – Bayern München)

12 Manuel Neuer ( GER – Bayern München)

13 Carlos Bacca (COL – Sevilla, now AC Milan)

14= Andres Iniesta (ESP – Barcelona)

14= Alvaro Morata (ESP – Juventus)

The Uefa website, external doesn't make it totally clear, but I'm assuming the amount of points each player has means the number of votes they got from the 54 suits. 

4 Gianluigi Buffon (Italy – Juventus) 24 points

5 Neymar (Brazil – Barcelona) 23

6 Eden Hazard (Belgium – Chelsea) 21

7 Andrea Pirlo (Italy – Juventus) 12

8 Arturo Vidal (Chile – Juventus, now Bayern München) 11

9 Carlos Tévez (Argentina – Juventus, now Boca Juniors) 8

10 Paul Pogba (France – Juventus) 5 

More votes for Buffon than for Neymar? Really?

Earlier we brought you the news that Barcelona's Uruguay forward Luis Suarez is on a three-man shortlist for Uefa's Best Player in Europe award for 2014-15 (that's last season).

Suarez will be up against Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid.

The same 54-member panel who voted for nominees picks a winner on 27 August at the Champions League group draw in Monaco.

Where was Gareth Bale? 

Here's a quick look at the players who just missed out on the top three...

A quarterback for the New York Jets will not be able to play for at least six weeks after a team-mate "sucker-punched" him and broke his jaw.

Geno Smith and linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali got into an altercation inside the locker room on Tuesday, Jets Coach Todd Bowles said.

"It had nothing to do with football," Bowles said of the fight. "It was something very childish."

Enemkpali, a relative newcomer, lost his job after landing the punch.

"You don't walk up to another man and punch him in the face," Bowles said.

Quite right you are, Todd.

Xherdan Shaqiri has been speaking about his £12m move to Stoke City. 

"I am really happy to be here and I can't wait to meet my new team-mates, to go on the pitch and do what I love. 

"It was always my dream to play in the Premier League and I am absolutely sure that I have made the right move. 

"It was for me a perfect position to come here and work with Mark Hughes, a great coach. I want to help the club to grow."

The number of home-grown players used in the Premier League last season was "not bad" but there is room for improvement, says Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn.

Greg Dyke, the FA chairman, said recently , external that English players in the top flight are an "endangered species".

Just 33.2% of the players who started games on the opening weekend were English, down from 35% last season.

"The 35% is not a bad number per se, just lower than Germany," said Glenn.

Almost 50% of starters in the Bundesliga last season were German, with Spain, France and Italy boasting figures , external of 58%, 56% and 43% respectively.

They're flying off the hangers in the Potteries. 

Replicas of Xherdan Shaqiri's Stoke shirt have become the fastest selling, external in the club's history.

I wonder who the second highest is? Bojan?

It would be interesting to know what those "certain conditions" are exactly, but Roma are being equally cryptic. 

They say they're paying £2.8m for the loan fee, and can buy the Bosnian striker for a further £7.8m at the end of the season. 

But they also say that deal is dependent on "certain conditions". 

Like scoring loads of goals, I guess?

We've been expecting this one for quite some time but it's finally confirmed: Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko joins Serie A club Roma.

Everton are close to completing the signing of Barnsley defender Mason Holgate.

BBC Radio Sheffield understands the Toffees are hopeful of signing the 18-year-old before the weekend.

Bournemouth, Manchester United and Newcastle have all been linked with moves for the player this summer.

If Holgate does make the move to Goodison Park, he would link up with former Tykes academy graduate John Stones, who joined the Premier League side from Barnsley in February 2013.
