Liam Patterson-White and Jack Haynes impress as Nottinghamshire thrash Hampshire
Liam Patterson-White and Jack Haynes both hit centuries as Rothesay County Championship Division One leaders Nottinghamshire cruised to a 366-run win with a day to spare against Hampshire at Trent Bridge.
All-rounder Patterson-White struck 21 fours and two sixes in a career-best 135 and shared in a seventh-wicket partnership of 238 with Haynes, who made 120, as Nottinghamshire reached 345 in their second innings.
That left Hampshire with an improbable run chase of 483 for victory and they were skittled for 116 as Lyndon James (five for 22) and Brett Hutton (four for 56) tore through their battling line-up in less than 34 overs.
Nottinghamshire notched their third win of the season by their second-biggest winning margin by runs in Championship history.
Second-placed Warwickshire will bid for victory on the last day of their match at Edgbaston against defending champions Surrey, who trail by 296 runs with one first-innings wicket remaining.
Surrey resumed on 98 for one after Warwickshire had declared on 665 for five on Saturday and, although Ben Foakes in unbeaten on 85, the visitors appear set to follow on as they closed on 369 for nine.
Yorkshire are on course for their second win of the season as Essex need 456 runs with four wickets in hand on the final day after they reached 64 for four in their second innings at Chelmsford.
Visiting opener Adam Lyth took his overnight score of 79 on to a superb 185 and Jonny Bairstow contributed 79 before Yorkshire declared on 426 for six.
Division One bottom side Worcestershire face a tough task in pursuit of their first win of the season as they need 244 on the final day against Sussex at Hove with seven wickets remaining.
Worcestershire closed on 117 for three – opener Jack Libby is unbeaten on 64 – after Sussex were all out for 256 in their second innings for a lead of 360.
In Division Two, Glamorgan romped to one of their biggest Championship wins, by an innings and 161 runs against Kent, to notch their first win of the season with one day remaining.
Despite Chris Benjamin's unbeaten 94, Kent were bowled out for 212 in their first innings – Glamorgan had declared on 549 for nine – and after following on 337 runs behind, they were dismissed for 176 second time round.
Glamorgan's Timm van der Gugten and Asitha Fernando both took three wickets.
Northamptonshire leg-spinner Calvin Harrison's four for 32 on Sunday proved decisive in his side's first win of the season, by 70 runs against Lancashire.
Bottom club Lancashire, still without a win, needed 236 in their second innings for victory and reached 116 for two before losing their last eight wickets for 49 runs as they slumped to 165 all out.

TNT Sports brands rugby rebel league ‘delusional'
Power brokers at TNT Sports, England's principal rugby broadcaster, have rubbished the emergence of a proposed breakaway league, called R360, branding it 'delusional' and ' commercially unsustainable '. Telegraph Sport revealed last week how Mike Tindall, the Rugby World Cup winner and member of the Royal family, was one of the driving forces behind rugby's new breakaway global league, pitched as 'driving generational change in rugby', which is scheduled to launch later this year with a number of players reportedly having signed pre-contractual agreements which are valid until September. But the concept has been derided by both TNT Sports and Premiership Rugby, the two bodies who agreed a new television deal until the end of the 2030-31 season last month. 'I'm going to take my TNT Sports hat off just for the moment,' said Andrew Georgiou, president and managing director of Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, which owns TNT. 'I've been involved in sport for 25 years. I can't tell you how many of these PowerPoint presentations have come across my desk with people who were absolutely certain that what they had on that page was going to be the new thing. It was going to be absolutely the new thing. 'I don't know the details of what's happening, no one's come to us and made a presentation, no one's told us what the new format is, no one told us what the new schedule is. I mean, I actually don't know much about it. But the one question that I think you guys should be asking is, 'how are they going to grow the revenue by putting this event on?' Where's the money coming from? The media industry is going through a massive generational change. There's been more change in the media industry in the last five years than there has been since the invention of cable television in the late 70s and early 80s. 'So, if these folks believe that they are going to grow the revenue by putting this thing on, I think they're delusional. I really do. What it will do is further complicate what is already a well-functioning rugby ecosystem. And so I would just ask some pretty fundamental questions around whether this is a commercially sustainable model. The fact that it's being likened to LIV Golf, I think is a perfect analogy. It's a perfect comparator to what this is really going to be. Commercially unsustainable.' When it was suggested that TNT Sports, therefore, would not be interested in bidding for broadcast rights on the new league, Georgiou replied: 'You bet.' Both TNT and the Premiership have experienced unprecedented growth this season. The league has seen 30 sold-out match days up from 18 last season and 13 the season before. This weekend's final, between Bath and Leicester, sold out in record time – with last season's show-piece also a full house – while growth among fans aged between 18 and 34 increased by 30 per cent in one year. Furthermore, Bath's play-off victory over Bristol last week was the most-viewed Friday night match ever on TNT. Red Bull's investment in Newcastle is understood to be nearing completion and Simon Massie-Taylor, Premiership Rugby's chief executive, believes that the league's previous financial woes are behind them and a new chapter is beginning. At board level, the Premiership will not allow itself to become distracted by R360 and Massie-Taylor has said that 'there has not been any engagement' with the breakaway league. 'It's not a threat per se,' said Massie-Taylor. 'But we have no idea how it could ever work full stop. But definitely for the club game. In England, in France, URC, southern hemisphere, how would it actually work and help develop the club game? 'But rugby needs roots, it doesn't need pop-ups. Rugby needs roots. The complicated thing about rugby is there's an international game, there's a club game that relies on, there's a community game. The whole thing's linked, the community game's inspired by both. Funding comes down to help the community game and there's this whole sort of connectedness to it. And that sometimes is an inhibitor to growth because you have to find a solution that compromises all these types of things. 'But without those roots, it's very difficult to understand how a system could ever work. The whole phrase [is] 'it takes a village', right? That one person who's going to turn up and go out on the field, there's a whole system, a whole team, a whole grass-roots network that needs to develop that person beyond just rocking up. 'I'd be worried if players are counting on that because they may miss out on genuine opportunities that exist within their club. Things need sanctioning for a start and things need money coming through the door before these people can actually get paid.'

Bukayo Saka to have 2+ shots on target against Senegal BOOSTED to 3/1 - with England star set to play for the first time under Thomas Tuchel
England will return to action against Senegal on Tuesday night, and will be hoping for a much-improved outing after their dour display in their 1-0 win over Andorra on Saturday. The Three Lions laboured to their victory, with Harry Kane 's goal sparing their blushes, and Thomas Tuchel questioned the attitude of his players after the match. England will be back on home soil to take on Senegal at the City Ground in Nottingham, and are set to have Bukayo Saka back in the ranks after he missed Saturday's victory with a fitness issue. The Arsenal man is yet to play under Tuchel, but that looks set to change and he appears likely to be thrown in from the start after facing the media on Monday. Sky Bet are offering three Price Boosts for the game, including Saka to have two or more shots on target at 3/1. Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold to commit at least one foul has been boosted to evens, and Kane to score 2+ goals has been enhanced from 9/2 to 6/1, Sky Bet Price Boosts for England vs Senegal Trent Alexander-Arnold to commit 1+ fouls - WAS 4/5 NOW 1/1 Bukayo Saka to have 2+ shots on target - WAS 2/1 NOW 3/1 Harry Kane to score 2+ goals WAS 9/2 NOW 6/1

Steven Gerrard favourite for Championship job that would see him replace former team-mate as manager
STEVEN GERRARD is the bookies' favourite to become Middlesbrough's next manager. The Liverpool legend has been out of work since leaving Al-Ettifaq in January. 1 He was linked with a return to Rangers but pulled out of the race before Russell Martin was appointed. Instead his return to management could come at Championship side Middlesbrough. If he gets the job he will succeed his former England team-mate Michael Carrick, who was sacked last week. Gerrard, 45, is the bookies' favourite to take over at the Riverside Stadium, ahead of Rob Edwards and Steve Cooper. It appears the former Three Lions star is keen on a return to the UK after an ill-fated spell in the Middle East. Gerrard lasted just 18 months at Al-Ettifaq and won 23 of his 59 matches in charge. That stint came after he was sacked at Aston Villa following a return of two wins in the opening 12 games of the 2022-23 Premier League season. His best reign came at Rangers, where he oversaw the club's first league title for nine years in 2021. He accumulated 102 points and went unbeaten in the Scottish Premier League, ending Celtic 's period of dominance. Gerrard won 65 per cent of his games in charge at Ibrox.
