Some more from Wales and Real Madrid forwards Gareth Bale.

"It's all a bit surreal," he says. "Each time a major Championship was going on I was at home watching on TV. This is a new experience.

"When I first heard the news Joe Ledley had broken his leg I was devastated. It's amazing he has recovered and can play a big part."

Asked about his own fitness, Bale says he is "100% fit".

The two pupils from Whitchurch High are first up to ask Gareth Bale questions. Dillan asked Bale about the support they have had, and the Real Madrid forward answers: "We are all looking forward to it. The support we have had from everyone here has been immense and inspires us to do better, Hopefully we can do the country proud."

Asked by Morgan if he could have one former Wales international out in France, Bale says: "Ryan Giggs."

Midfielders Alexander Kacaniklic and Jamie O'Hara are among four players released by Championship club Fulham.

A lot has been spoken about England's attacking ability, but goalkeeper Joe Hart has faith in his defence as well

"I fully believe in the guys we have got," he says. We're going to attack as a team and we're going to defend as a team. We're ready."

Hart also said he would be prepared to take a penalty if England progress to the latter stages of the tournament.

More from Joe Hart, talking about his side's previous tournament failures. "If we can be on the right end of key moments then we will go far," says Hart.

"Playing to a decent standard isn't enough, we have to be ruthless at both ends of the pitch."

"I've gone into every tournament confident," says England goalkeeper Joe Hart. "This is a new one. The majority are a new set of players.

"We have certainly got all the backing we need. Now it's down to us to perform."

Some quotes from England goalkeeper Joe Hart: "Everyone is good and available for the game (against Russia on Saturday).

"I'm looking forward to it. I bring experience, I don't bring a great deal of success. We have got a bright squad.

"You have got to enjoy it. As a huge England fan, if I wasn't involved I'd be watching the game."

Coming up will be England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who is set to face the media shortly.

Also in the next hour we are expecting to hear from Wales forward Gareth Bale. Stay with us and we will bring you the best quotes from both men.

As you can see, Nick Compton came in to bat and, unfortunately, but as has happened too often recently, he is back out again very quickly.

He only scored one. Next in, Joe Root. But wait. He's gone as well after only scoring three. England 71-3 after being 56-0 only 30 minutes ago.

Tributes are paid following the death of young fast bowler Hamza Ali, aged 20, who represented Hampshire and MCC.

"Hamza greatly impressed us with his energy, enthusiasm and exceptional all-round talent," said MCC head coach Steve Kirby.

Hampshire players will wear black armbands as a mark of respect during their T20 Blast game with Surrey later on Thursday. 

Yep, it is our fault. Just after we said England were progressing nicely against Sri Lanka, they go and lose their first wicket with Alex Hales the man out after 'a horrible shot'.

He scored 18 and England are currently 58-1 with Alastair Cook unbeaten on 38.

Jay O'Shea and Lee Novak are understood to be transfer targets for League Two club Portsmouth.

But, there are obstacles to signing both with Pompey having already made what's believed to be a substantial bid for 27-year-old midfielder O'Shea, who was part of the Chesterfield team manager Paul Cook led to the League One play-offs. 

Striker Novak is out of contract with Birmingham and after initial negotiations. Pompey had thought they were close to a deal. But, the 27-year-old, who was on loan at Chesterfield last season, has opted to continue talking to other clubs.

Muhammad Ali's funeral takes place on Friday.

It has been a bright start from England openers Alastair Cook and Alex Hales, who have guided their side to 55-0 in the first day of the third Test against Sri Lanka.
