Tribe ton boosts Glamorgan at Leicestershire
Rothesay County Championship Division Two, Uptonsteel County Ground, Leicester (day one)Glamorgan 305-5 (96 overs): Tribe 107, Ingram 56*; Van Beek 2-66Leicestershire: Yet to batLeicestershire 1 pt, Glamorgan 2 ptsMatch scorecard
Asa Tribe hit a maiden first-class century for Glamorgan as they reached a solid 305-5 on a mostly slow-scoring day against Leicestershire.The 21-year-old Jersey batter hit 14 fours and a six in his 107 as he led Glamorgan's efforts in the first two sessions. Leicestershire's seamers put the brakes on in the second half of the day as the Kookaburra ball, being used for the first time in this county season, proved tough to get away. All the Glamorgan top order got starts, but Colin Ingram was the only other batter to pass 50.Logan van Beek, with two for 66, was the most successful Foxes bowler.
The in-form opponents made changes from their pre-T20 Blast Championship outings with Liam Trevaskis, Chris Wright and Sam Wood coming in for the Foxes while Glamorgan recalled Ingram, Ben Kellaway, Ned Leonard and Mason Crane -the leg spinner having his first red-ball outing of the season.Tribe started brightly with a string of boundaries while Zain Ul Hassan began cautiously before upping his own scoring rate.The pair added 98 before veteran Wright, in his second spell, had Ul Hassan caught behind down leg-side for 36, skipper Peter Handscomb wearing the gloves after leaving out specialist keeper Ben Cox.But the afternoon session had a very different feel as Leicestershire tightened their lines with the older Kookaburra ball to see scoring rates drop.Sam Northeast started carefully and reached 21 before being given out caught behind hooking at Wood, though the ball appeared to have come off his helmet.Tribe was dropped behind off Ben Green on 76 before working his way responsibly towards three figures off 158 balls, reaching the landmark when he turned Liam Trevaskis to square leg for a couple. But Logan van Beek found the edge of his bat soon afterwards and Hansdcomb took a third catch. Tribe's dismissal saw the game drop into a lower gear as the normally attacking pair of Kiran Carlson and Colin Ingram added 60 at just over three an over before Carlson was yorked by left-arm spinner Liam Trevaskis for 43.The Foxes strangely opted to use occasional spinner Rishi Patel to bowl for the first time in the Championship as they delayed taking the new ball for four overs. Van Beek got a reward from the new cherry as Ben Kellaway was trapped lbw for 25 to keep the Foxes in the hunt, before Ingram reached a half-century with few flashes of his trademark aggression to keep Glamorgan slightly on top.

Premier League questions Chelsea over ‘unauthorised ticket seller' co-owned by Todd Boehly
The Premier League has demanded answers from Chelsea over the 'unauthorised' reselling of Premier League tickets by a website co-owned by Todd Boehly. In an open letter, the Chelsea Supporters' Trust requested in March that the English top tier act 'swiftly' in investigating club chairman Boehly's involvement in Vivid Seats. Richard Masters, the league's chief executive, has now confirmed at a Football Supporters' Association event that the competition had written to the club. According to minutes of the recent FSA event, Masters 'confirmed the PL [Premier League] had written to Chelsea to seek clarification on the club's position with the matter ongoing. RM [Masters] advised the PL would reply to CST [Chelsea Supporters' Trust] once the PL had concluded its discussions with the club.' Telegraph Sport first reported in February how Vivid Seats, a US-based online marketplace of which Boehly is both an investor and director, was allowing foreign-based users to buy and sell Premier League tickets for up to tens of thousands of pounds. Boehly has not been accused of any wrongdoing. CST had asked the league to 'act and investigate' the situation which they believe is both a 'breach of trust' and 'a clear conflict of interest'. The trust has also submitted evidence against the American company to the Government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Chelsea recently pledged to take action on ticket touting but did not name Vivid Seats or other ticket resellers. Vivid does not allow fans based in Britain to buy or sell tickets – the latter of which would be illegal – but its business model does raise the prospect of Chelsea co-owner Boehly profiting from the kind of activity his own club have repeatedly denounced. The CST wrote in its March letter to Masters: 'We have received a significant amount of correspondence from concerned CST members and supporters from the wider Chelsea FC fan base on this issue that cannot be ignored.' Boehly has not commented but Vivid Seats previously said in a statement: 'As a global business, we are always respectful and cognisant of local regulatory policies and procedures that are in place in any market to ensure we are compliant. As such, our policy restricts the sale of EPL tickets from UK sellers. We can confirm that we do not have any UK sellers listing EPL inventory on our marketplace. Additionally, Vivid Seats does not and has never directly marketed or advertised Premier League tickets to UK customers.' Boehly, a director and investor in Vivid, described as an 'unauthorised ticket seller' by the league, also owns a 13 per cent stake in Chelsea.

Legendary BBC and ITV commentator retires after glittering 48-year career as sporting icons say goodbye
ICONIC broadcaster Steve Ryder is hanging up his mic after 48 years. The 75-year-old worked at both ITV and the BBC during his nearly five-decade career. 3 3 3 Ryder signed off for the final time on Sunday at the British Touring Car Championship from Oulton Park. He bid farewell to broadcasting after the race weekend, which was shown live on ITV4. A host of drivers from the past and present recorded messages for Ryder. The two-minute montage featured a host of famous names from the world of F1. Lando Norris, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Jenson Button and David Coulthard all contributed to the emotional goodbye. Ryder is best known for hosting the BBC sports show Grandstand. He also fronted coverage of rugby, golf, motorsports and rowing for the Beeb, as well as Sports Personality of the Year. Ryder left the BBC in 2005 to join ITV, where he has since taken charge of their F1 coverage and World Cup broadcasts. Speaking about his decision to retire, he told The Mail: "The biggest emotion as you get into the last two minutes of something like that is, 'For God's sake, don't c**k it up!' "Because you'd be thinking about that for the next 20 years. Lando Norris punished by F1 bosses with five-second penalty after being snitched on by rival Max Verstappen "I've probably outstayed my welcome. I've been hugely lucky with the places that the career has taken me. "But it's close to 50 years now, so the cracks are showing." Ryder was diagnosed with prostate cancer in October 2023. He underwent emergency surgery, which successfully prevented the tumour from spreading. He told BBC Breakfast: "They took one look and said, 'We're going to operate in two weeks'. "No messing around. We did Brands Hatch for ITV on the Sunday and I had the operation on the Thursday. "So it slotted into the schedule quite nicely!"
