The final part of England batsman Ollie Pope's interview with 5 live earlier today and he admits playing behind closed doors will be strange, with captain Joe Root suggesting Barmy Army chants could be played, external over the PA system to compensate.

"It will be bizarre, especially because we’re so lucky with the Barmy Army, they’re a really amazing crowd, they're so loud through the whole day, it will be weird hitting a boundary and the only people you can hear are probably your teammates on the balcony," Pope says.

"Joe said potentially getting some sounds in to try and make it feel a bit more natural but I guess when someone takes a wicket normally you’re getting a massive roar and it’s just going to be us celebrating, I guess it will be strange at first but we’ll get used to it again pretty quickly."

The PGA Tour will use three mobile laboratories for testing at all tournaments as golf returns next week with the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas, after an absence of almost three months because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The PGA Tour said that approximately 400 individuals will be tested on-site each week.

More from England batsman Ollie Pope, who explains how preparations will change because of coronavirus.

On the subject of fielding practice he says: "We’ve got our six cricket balls each, we’ve got to write our initials on them, we’ve got to go over to a net and throw our own cricket balls into a net and get our throwing done there," he tells BBC Radio 5 Live.

"Then when you’re having a hit, someone’s got to throw the ball down to you and you’re not even allowed to pick up the ball with your glove and throw it back, you’ve got to just hit it with your bat along the floor so there are a few new things that are going to have to become second nature I guess for the next few weeks."

England batsman Ollie Pope has been telling BBC Radio 5 Live the enforced absence from cricket can have an inspirational effect for next month's series with West Indies and beyond.

"I think you can use the months we've had off in two different ways and I think as international cricketers, the schedule so packed, especially when you're touring all winter and playing all summer so I think for a lot of the guys it's actually been a good refreshing break to actually get that hunger that’s still there but even more," said the 22-year-old Surrey right-hander.

"I was lucky enough that I had a three month break last summer and I unfortunately did my shoulder but I actually found I came back and I have this new hunger for the game that wasn’t necessarily there before.

"I came back stronger and more physically fit and mentally just refreshed so I think actually really helped my game so hopefully we’ll see a few of those examples this time around as well.”

Police will look at the final proposed Premier League fixture list before recommending whether whether any games in London should be moved to neutral venues.

Tottenham’s match against north London rivals Arsenal is one of the matches still to be played and Spurs also have to host West Ham, who in turn have a home game against Chelsea at the London Stadium.

A statement from the Metropolitan Police read: "The MPS have been in regular contact with the NPCC football lead DCC Mark Roberts who is co-ordinating the policing response to the restart of any football matches across the UK.

"Whilst agreement has been reached as to when the season may recommence, the plans for this to happen are still being finalised.

"We remain in contact with all the relevant bodies and will make plans as necessary when we receive a final proposed schedule for games."

Former Wolves fitness coach Tony Daley believes Championship players are returning to action too early.

The English Football League announced on Sunday that the league is due to resume on 20 June after it was halted in March by the coronavirus pandemic.

Ex-Aston Villa and England international Daley, who spent 10 years as fitness and conditioning coach at Molineux, told the PA news agency: "It’s definitely a week, minimum, too early to come back (to playing).

"Players will have been doing something to tick over but you can't substitute football fitness, contact, accelerating, decelerating and in two-and-a-half weeks

"They will have been mentally switched off and to come back in two-and-a-half weeks, it's a big ask. It can be done but I won't be surprised if there's a large increase in soft muscle injuries."

Three West Indies players have chosen not to travel to England for next month's Test series because of coronavirus fears.

Batsmen Shimron Hetmyer and Darren Bravo and all-rounder Keemo Paul opted out of a 25-man touring party.

West Indies arrive on 9 June and will be based at Emirates Old Trafford for initial quarantine and training.

Manchester City have reminded midfielder Phil Foden of his responsibilities after he appeared to break social distancing guidelines by playing football on the beach.

The 20-year-old was pictured having a kickabout and had his photo taken with several people on Sunday.

Government guidelines say people can take part in sport so long as they maintain a two-metre distance from other competitors.

Premier League players are now taking part in contact training with their clubs, but they have been told to maintain social distancing at all other times.

Last month City defender Kyle Walker was pictured visiting his family in Sheffield during lockdown, but the club did not punish him based on personal circumstances.

Tottenham forward Son Heung-min says his military service in South Korea was "tough" but he "really enjoyed it".

Son, 27, completed his three-week mandatory military service in May.

He had returned to his homeland in March to continue his recovery from a fractured arm while the season is suspended because of coronavirus.

All South Korean men must complete military service by the age of 28. He had earned exemption from the mandatory 21-month military service after helping South Korea win the 2018 Asian Games.

"It was a good experience," Son told the Spurs website. "I couldn't say everything that I've done but I really enjoyed it. Those guys were nice. The three weeks were tough but I tried to enjoy it.

"I don't know how the people felt, but for me the three weeks have been long but it was a good experience, I enjoyed it.

"The first day when we don't know each other was a bit weird but soon we got to know each other. We spent every day together in one room, 10 people very close, working together, we helped each other so the time was fantastic.

"Those guys, the first day and second day they couldn't even speak to me but by the end they were joking with me and we were enjoying everyone together."
