"In a fast-forward world he is a player from another time, a writer of epic novels in an age of the tweet, probably the last of the pure Test specialists his country will produce."

WIth England and Wales cutting their Euro 2016 squads down to 23 today, rejection is a big debate of the day.

We want to hear about how you've reacted when you've had a sporting snub. Sent a text to drop you for a cup final? Picked last at school behind someone who has never played cricket before?

Alternatively, how would you react if you were one of the players dropped today? Would you go full Paul Gascoigne 1998?

Let us know using #mysportingrejection on Twitter.

It looks like it might come down to Daniel Sturridge or Marcus Rashford for a place in England's Euro 2016 squad. Which of the two would you bring? Or would you bring them both? Or leave the pair at home?

In the process of beating Sri Lanka, England captain Alastair Cook became the youngest player to score 10,000 Test runs.

Aged 31, five months and five days, he achieved the landmark by reaching five on the fourth day of the second Test against Sri Lanka at Chester-le-Street.  

"It's a very special moment for me," Cook said. "You forget about all the hard times you have as a cricketer."

It was another good day at the office for England's cricket side yesterday. It may have taken them slightly longer than they thought, but they wrapped up another Test victory - and subsequently sealed the series - against Sri Lanka.

Just the nine-wicket margin this time around.

Porto have sacked coach Jose Peseiro after less than five months in charge.

The club are now looking for their 10th boss since Jose Mourinho left for Chelsea 12 years ago.

They finished third in the league, while Peseiro's final game in charge was the Portuguese Cup final, which they lost on penalties to Braga.

In 2014 Carl Froch settled his rivalry with George Groves in brutal fashion as he knocked his bitter enemy out cold with a crunching right hand in the eighth round of their rematch to retain his WBA and IBF super-middleweight titles in front of 80,00 fans at Wembley.

Roy Hodgson will do it for real this summer, but before then why don't you have a go at selecting your England starting XI for the Euro 2016 opener against Russia?

Milner in midfield? Vardy up top? The choice is yours...

AFC Wimbledon striker Adebayo Akinfenwa is eyeing up a film career after ending his spell with AFC Wimbledon in style. The striker has called on football managers AND Hollywood movie producers to get in touch after his goal-scoring exploits in the League Two playoff final at Wembley.

You can listen to what he had to say here.

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick, 34, has signed a new contract, according to former Red Devils player Paddy Crerand. 

Crerand told MUTV: "Something that happened today that nobody has mentioned, and I'm delighted that he has signed another contract: Michael Carrick. He's signed a contract for another year."

Now granted, this is the Crerand who said the story BBC Sport broke about Louis van Gaal being sacked and replaced by Jose Mourinho was “rubbish”...

Jose Mourinho visited Manchester United's training ground for the first time yesterday.

He was shown round by executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and met Bobby Charlton, plus other members of the club's staff.

He did not meet Ryan Giggs though as the United assistant, whose future is uncertain, is on holiday.

Roy Hodgson will name his 23-man squad for Euro 2016 today. John Terry won't be in it, but the Chelsea defender's former international team-mate Danny Mills believes he should be. In fact, Mills has told 5 live he would have begged Terry to come out of retirement for the tournament.

You can listen to more from Mills here.

In 2004 Chelsea dismissed manager Claudio Ranieri despite the Italian having guided the club to the Champions League semi-finals and second place in the Premiership. 

Hmmmm, I wonder whatever happened to Ranieri.

The Times go with something different, namely the cricket. Alistair Cook passing the 10,000-run mark makes him a "true great", according to the paper, who also suggest that Andros Townsend and Danny Drinkwater are fearing for their places in England's Euro 2016 squad.

There is a similar vibe to the Daily Star, minus the Zidane and the pun.

The Daily Mirror split their back page between three stories: Marcus Rashford's new Manchester United deal, Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane backing Gareth Bale to beat England on his own and Daniel Sturridge sweating over whether he will be included in England's Euro 2016 squad.

I suspect they've only done this to shoehorn in that pun.
