Wales and Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is on a three-man shortlist for Uefa's Best Player in Europe award.

His club-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, who helped Portugal win Euro 2016, and France and Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann are also contenders.

Barcelona's Lionel Messi, who won the award for a second time last year, was fifth in the previous round of voting.

Journalists from Uefa's 55 member associations will vote for their best player on Thursday, 25 August.

It's lunch on day three of the third Test between England and Pakistan at Edgbaston.

England are being made to struggle as the tourists have turned a 40-run deficit into a 39 run first innings lead with five wickets still intact.

England's limited success this morning has yielded just two wickets for the cost of 79 runs before the interval.

The waves crashed in but the goals didn't.

Last night, the beach here in Barra - an up and coming area in Rio - was populated by locals taking in Brazil's 0-0 draw with South Africa.

There were a few cries of frustration audible but surely these people can take some comfort from the fact they get to watch the game next to a stunning beach? It beats being on the sofa or a cold Tuesday night at Stoke (sorry Potters fans).

Chris Smalling was training this morning, raising the possibility he could be available for Manchester United’s Community Shield encounter with Leicester at Wembley on Sunday.

Smalling is yet to play in pre-season after suffering what manager Jose Mourinho described as “a recurrence of a small injury”.

The England defender was part of the main group for the open section of this morning’s session, although whether Mourinho is thinking of starting him against Leicester is open to question.

Smalling is suspended for the opening Premier League game of the season at Bournemouth on 14 August following his red card in the FA Cup final win over Crystal Palace.

Mourinho is due to hold a pre-match press conference at 13:30BST.

Are you in the mood for some dramatic football action? Well here you go...

Just 76 days after Manchester United won the FA Cup, the 2016-17 competition gets under way this weekend with the extra preliminary round.

The 2016-17 competition begins with 183 extra preliminary round ties - the first of 13 hurdles before the final on 27 May, 2017.

Hinckley AFC, who play in the Leicestershire village of Heather, have brought forward their home tie with Heanor Town because it clashes with one of the area's biggest annual events - the Heather Scarecrow Festival.

Their facilities are being used for the festival - which attracts thousands of visitors every year - and the match will now take place on Friday (19:45 BST) as opposed to Saturday.

"This is our third season at Heather but it's the first time we have had to move a game because of the scarecrow festival," said Steve Jelfs, chairman of Hinckley AFC, who play in the 10th-tier Midland Football League Division One.
