    Bit of green on the wicket that is for sure. Jimmy Anderson would fancy bowling first.

    Red cards for swearing at referees.

    Sam Budgett: All professional athletes should be red carded if any abuse is given to the referee, no problems in rugby.

    S: Disrespect and aggression are inexcusable, the greyer areas (confronting/contact) will need a common sense approach from refs.

    Neal Guilliotti: Simple: 10 yellow cards for dissent = 1 point deduction. Players and Managers will then enforce discipline.

    The 29-year-old, who has earned 22 caps, was overlooked for their triumphant Six Nations campaign after starting in the 2015 World Cup.

    "You always have to keep the goal there to get back in the England side. I don't think you can ever lose sight of it," he told BBC East Midlands Today.

    Barry Kane: The rules have always been there, just rarely enforced. Swear at a local ref, you get a red. Do it in PL and get nothing.

    Pillingworth: Swearing and abuse of officials ten years too late, already accepted as part of the game.

    Alex Shcnopple: It is about time something is done, it is petty & ridiculous reaction from players (even managers), supposed to be role models!

    Marcus Trescothick has shepherded Somerset to a 10-wicket victory against Nottinghamshire in quite incredible fashion in the County Championship.

    In the first innings, the 40-year-old was the last wicket to fall, as he equalled the Somerset record for first-class centuries, his 218 the 49th of his career.

    Then in the second innings he remained 37 not out in a century partnership with fellow opener Johann Myburgh, who scored 58, after Notts had set 99 to win.

    He was on the pitch in every minute of the match. Quite superb.

    The struggling Sauber team's future is secured in a takeover by the Switzerland-based company Longbow Finance.

    Founder Peter Sauber, who was chairman, has retired, but Monisha Kaltenborn remains chief executive officer. The team name will also stay. "We are very pleased we can secure the future of Sauber at the pinnacle of motorsport," said Kaltenborn.

    Former Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has given a fascinating, and rather damning, insight into life at Anfield under former manager Roy Hodgson.

    In an interview with Danish paper Jyllands-Posten, external (translated here by the Guardian), external Agger described training under Hodgson - who resigned as England manager after Euro 2016 - as "uninspiring".

    “I completely lost my desire to come to work because his training sessions were really hard to get through. Not physically but mentally," said Agger, who retired from playing this summer aged 31.

    "It was the same and the same and the same. Day in and day out."

    England's Ben Stokes says top-ranked Test bowler Yasir Shah of Pakistan is the "best leg spinner since Shane Warne".

    Yasir, 30, earned match figures of 10-141 as Pakistan beat England by 75 runs in the first Test at Lord's last week.

    Stokes and James Anderson missed the match but both return for Friday's second Test at Old Trafford.

    "They're a very good team but we go into the Test knowing how he goes about bowling and we should be able to counteract that," Stokes said.

    Red cards for swearing at referees

    Pete Yates: You don't need to be much of a lip-reader to know how players speak to refs. If players show some respect will be fine.

    Karl Eastwood: Nigel Owens commented he would like to ref a game of football but it would be 5-a-side by 1/2 time! It now needs that approach.

    Ben Smith: Maybe it should be the captain and only the captain that speaks with officials as well on match day.

    "We have done that with Bidwell and Button."
