    What would you ban from your club and why?

    Kieran Lynch:, external I'd ban players from surrounding the referee after a decision, it's disgraceful.

    Nick Frost:, external At Chelsea I would ban excuses. They have the quality to do it. The referee only has so much influence Jose.

    Ged Lynam:, external Autobiographies. No player or manager should be allowed to release one until they have retired. They're just irritating.

    Pakistan are all out, at last.

    Stuart Broad destroyed the wickets with a superb bit of swing bowling at pace to remove Asad Shafiq for 46, then Riaz was run out by Ian Bell.

    Pakistan are 355 all out. Just the 284 runs for England to get to win then. What can possibly go wrong?

    Football

    Trabzonspor president Ibrahim Ethem Haciosmanoglu and several members of his board have been given lengthy bans after a referee was locked in his dressing room at their stadium.

    Haciosmanoglu was angered by match official Cagatay Sahan's decision not to award his team a penalty in a recent game and ordered Sahan and his assistants to be locked in overnight.

    They were released when Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan reportedly intervened.

    "I told stadium security not to let the referees leave until the morning, until I arrived, but a very important person called me and asked me not to cause embarrassment in Turkey and around the world," Haciosmanoglu said.

    The Turkish Football Federation has banned Haciosmanoglu from carrying out his official functions for 280 days and fined him 150,000 Turkish lira (£34,250).

    Earlier Daily Mail boxing writer Jeff Powell told BBC Radio 5 live: "As far as the Khans are concerned it is a done deal. I had a long chat with Amir’s father Shah and he says he has agreed the deal in every detail, accepted all the terms and conditions, sent off the paperwork and are expecting to get their end of the contract from Pacquiao’s camp next week."

    Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum had earlier denied the story but Powell said: “I think Bob  is stalling a bit to see if they can tempt Floyd Mayweather out of retirement, but he has indicated that he won’t."

    Real Madrid's Gareth Bale will not be in Wales' squad for the friendly against the Netherlands on 13 November.

    The 26-year-old had been expected to be named by manager Chris Coleman, but following conversations with his club he has not been selected.

    Remember the Steven Gerrard story from earlier, about the Reds former skipper returning to the club?

    Well, according to Reuters, Liverpool fans shouldn't get too excited just yet.

    Gerrard - now an LA Galaxy player - has been invited to train at the club during the American close-season.

    But there have been no discussions about a playing contract, according to sources close to manager Juergen Klopp.

    Football: Chris Powell sacked as Huddersfield manager

    Some more on the news that ex-England international Chris Powell has lost his job as manager of Championship side Huddersfield Town.

    It's tea at the Test, and there's been a wicket just before the teams depart the pitch.

    Yasir Shah departs for four, caught by Stuart Broad off the bowling of Adil Rashid. That's Rashid's first wicket of the innings - and it seems not everyone is impressed with him and England's two other spin merchants, Patel and Moeen.

    Pakistan are 319-8, leading by what is now looking like a whopping 247 runs.

    Huddersfield Town have sacked boss Chris Powell after just three league wins this season.

    BBC Radio Leeds understands that the former England full-back has lost his job for failing to meet the board's objectives.

    The 46-year-old former Charlton boss was appointed Terriers manager in September 2014 and guided them to safety in the Championship last season.

    However, Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Reading saw them drop to 18th in the table.

    As you will no doubt be aware, former England cricketer Tom Graveney has died at the age of 88. An elegant batsman, Graveney played 79 Tests for England, scoring 11 centuries at an average of 44.38.

    Paying tribute on BBC Radio 5 live, cricket reporter Pat Murphy said: "He always had time for people, and that sums up Tom Graveney as a batsman. Think of David Gower or Ian Bell."
