Leaders Notts thump Hampshire by 366 runs

Rothesay County Championship Division One, Trent Bridge (day three)Nottinghamshire 333 & 345: Patterson-White 135, Haynes 120; Abbott 3-62Hampshire 196 & 116: Baker 27; James 5-22, Hutton 4-56Notts (21 pts) beat Hampshire (3 pts) by 366 runsMatch scorecard
Hampshire collapsed to defeat after centuries from Jack Haynes and Liam Patterson-White had batted them out of the game as Division One leaders Nottinghamshire romped to a third victory in their opening five matches of the County Championship season, winning by a massive 366-run margin.All-rounder Patterson-White struck a magnificent career-best 135 containing 21 fours and two sixes, with Haynes making 120, the pair sharing a seventh-wicket stand of 238 as the Trent Bridge side made 345 in their second innings.Chasing down 483 to win looked wholly unrealistic on a pitch that has made the new ball a potent weapon but Hampshire supporters would have hoped at least to see the match taken to a fourth day.Instead they witnessed their team bowled out for a miserable 116 by 17:30 BST with former favourite Mohammad Abbas not even among the wickets as the bowling honours were shared between Lyndon James (5-22) and Brett Hutton (4-56).The winning margin is Nottinghamshire's second largest by runs in their Championship history.The mayhem of the final session was in complete contrast with the first, when it felt like a different match as Nottinghamshire's seventh wicket pair, whose partnership was worth 87 at Saturday's close, added another 144 runs before lunch.Haynes, 60 overnight, had given his team-mate a 21-run start but in the event, as Hampshire's bowlers toiled in vain to conjure life from an aging ball on a pitch that looked benign for the first time in the match, Patterson-White was first to three figures.He reached the milestone from 139 balls with a mighty pull for six off Sonny Baker. It was his second six of the innings, having hit 76 runs of his hundred runs in boundaries.Given that he had not made even a half-century in 32 innings over three seasons before this one and had struggled to keep his place in the side, it was little wonder he allowed himself a lengthy celebration.Moments later, he overtook his previous career-best - 101 against Somerset at Taunton in 2021 - before a single off Baker completed Haynes's hundred, from 137 balls, also with 16 fours, his second in five innings.Haynes, dropped at deep square leg on 80, departed three overs after lunch. Kyle Abbott now had the new ball in hand but it was coming back for a second run to deep mid-wicket that cost Haynes, Baker's throw to the wicketkeeper beating him comfortably.Nonetheless, the completed first run was enough to take the partnership to 238, Nottinghamshire's second biggest for the seventh wicket against any opponent.Abbott followed up with a more conventional new-ball wicket in his next over - taking his tally for the season to 23 as the country's leading wicket-taker so far - as Hutton was caught behind without scoring, after which Farhan Ahmed was yorked by James Fuller and Patterson-White bowled off a bottom edge.It gave Hampshire a theoretical target of 483 to win the match or else bat long enough to salvage some pride. Yet the chances of achieving even that quickly diminished as they slipped to 33-3 at tea.Abbas bowled six wicketless overs but from the other end Hutton had a leaden-footed Fletcha Middleton leg before and Mark Stoneman caught behind off a thin outside edge. First change James then dismissed Prest, who top-edged a cut as Kyle Verreynne held a second catch.And there was little sign of Hampshire trying to bed in for a fight after tea as wickets tumbled with unseemly frequency.Ben Brown's loose pull off Hutton came down in the hands of square leg, Nick Gubbins fell tamely to a catch at extra cover off, Liam Dawson was caught on the boundary hooking, Fuller flicked straight to midwicket, Toby Albert, dropped at first slip, edged to third - albeit superbly caught by Haynes - and Brad Wheal was caught at mid-off, leaving the visitors 82-9.Abbott and Baker kept the home side's celebrations on hold for 10 overs before the latter sliced to backward point for 27 as Hampshire's top scorer, Patterson-White aptly taking the final wicket.ECB Reporters' Network supported by Rothesay

England vs West Indies: Score and latest updates from third T20

6:51PM OVER 4: ENG 51/0 (Smith 28 Duckett 23) Smith retreats to leg, clears the front leg and thumps a lofted drive off Shepherd over cover for four. He goes for it again but doesn't connect properly and pops it over cover for two off the toe. He has been moving horizontally across his crease but now Smith moves vertically as well, dropping back and over to off to mow Shepherd over midwicket for six and ends the over by picking the slower ball and lofting it straight back on the drive for four. 6:47PM OVER 3: ENG 33/0 (Smith 11 Duckett 22) West Indies post a point sweeper and a deep backward square to stop Duckett's orthodox and reverse sweep so he simply clumps a slog sweep over midwicket for four. He comes down the track to Hosein's next delivery and spoons it back over the bowler's head without middling it. Nonetheless it clears the retreating mid-on and they run two. The left-hander leans across to fetch one Hosein tries to hide outside off-stump and clears the sweeper at backward square for a steepling six then hammers a straight drive on the charge for four more. By trying to stifle his reverse-sweep, they opened up midwicket and he punished them. The challenge here is very different to diddy Bristol. The playing area is vast, possibly the largest of England's home venues. At various others, that plink down the ground from Duckett would have gone for six. I suspect that a big score will be achieved by a steady cruising speed throughout the innings rather than a big, six-fuelled acceleration like the West Indies had the other night. Anyway, very good start from Duckett and England. 6:40PM OVER 2: ENG 16/0 (Smith 10 Duckett 6) Jason Holder opens the bowling from the Pavilion End. Smith drives crisply through the covers for two and the opens the face to smear a single through point. Duckett flicks Holder behind square for a single though the initial call was for two. The ball rifled across the grass too quickly for that to be feasible. Smith chances his arm with an expansive shot, driving on the up over mid-on for four but then splices his pull over midwicket for a single when the bat speed and intent suggested a boundary all the way. 6:35PM OVER 1: ENG 7/0 (Smith 2 Duckett 5) The slow left-armer starts round the wicket to Smith who uses the curve to drive through mid-on for a single. A wee breeze gives the spinner some drift in to the right-hander, and away from Duckett who works a single away between mid-on and midwicket. Smith shuffles back in his crease to clip the arm-ball through mid-on for another before Duckett ends the over with a clumping reverse-sweep, picking the ball off off-stump square for four. Good evening from the Utilita Bowl. Warm evening here. It's been a sorry trip for the West Indies – the women were whitewashed, and now the men might be too. On another note, I wondered if England might rest Brydon Carse, given his importance to the Test team in 10 days' time. But he's a key ally of Brook and a big part of this team. 6:30PM The teams are out And Akeal Hosein, the left-arm spinner, has the new ball. 6:29PM Longest boundaries in the series Aaron Finch is the only player to make a hundred in a T20I at Southampton, 156 vs England in 2013. In that match Joe Root made an unbeaten 90, the next highest score in the 12 T20Is played at the Rose Bowl. 6:08PM Harry Brook speaks 'We want to start nailing teams down into the ground. Come out and play the same way, try to have a dominant finish to the series.' He goes on to say they are unchanged because he wants the players to get used to the feeling of winning. 'People say winning is a habit. That's something we have to get going towards that World Cup in February next year. We want to keep on motoring the way we have done.' 6:06PM Team news England are unchanged. West Indies bring in Shimron Hetmyer for Roston Chase. England Smith, Duckett, Buttler (wk), Brook (capt), Banton, Bethell, Jacks, Dawson, Carse, Rashid, Wood. West Indies Lewis, Charles, Hetmyer, Hope (capt/wk), Rutherford, Powell, Shepherd, Holder, Motie, A Joseph, Hosein. 6:03PM West Indies win the toss And have put England in to bat. Shai Hope: 'We're going to back ourselves chasing here.' Harry Brook says he would have bowled first, too 'but what will be will be'.

England v Senegal: men's international football friendly

Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Hello and welcome to the City Ground the Guardian liveblog bunker for live coverage of England v Senegal at the City Ground. Thomas Tuchel isn't in the business of selling tickets or building hype, but his unsparing appraisal of England's performance against Andorra – Kevin the Teenager tribute included – has increased the interest in what could otherwise have been just another friendly. This is only the second meeting between the sides, a slight surprise given their status in world football. The first was in the last 16 of Qatar 2022, when England surged to a 3-0 victory after an even first 35 minutes. The next World Cup is the endgame for Tuchel and England, but tonight's match has a standalone appeal that probably wasn't there 72 hours ago. Kick off 7.45pm. Share

Manager search delay shows owner's 'contempt', says Supporters' Trust

Cardiff City Supporters' Trust (CCST) has accused owner Vincent Tan of treating the club's fanbase with "contempt" over what the fans' body says is an "intolerable" delay and lack of communication over the appointment of a new had three different managers as they were relegated from the Championship this season and are now looking for a ninth boss in four Bulut was fired in September and his successor Omar Riza received his marching orders in April. Aaron Ramsey was appointed Cardiff interim manager for the final three games of the 2024-25 Championship season but was unable to keep them from club said in May that it would trial a new process to appoint the next manager, by assembling a sub-committee, and were hopeful of appointing a new boss by the end of that with the process now dragging on towards the middle of June, CCST issued a statement expressing its concern."Time is moving on, critical pre-season decisions need to be made in terms of the squad which cannot happen without a manager," read the statement."It is as long ago as 19 April that Omer Riza was relieved of his duties and 3 May was the final game of the season and it is 10 June that this communication is being written with still no sign of an appointment. "As the ultimate power within the club does Vincent Tan have a sense of urgency?"The club may say that there is no reason to panic but it is fair to say that the fanbase view the situation with some concern and anger. "That fact that there has been a deafening silence from the club has not been helpful... we are led to believe that the current state of inertia/indecision is purely down to the owner [Tan] and... [chief executive] Ken Choo."The statement continued: "This situation is intolerable and only serves to demonstrate the contempt the owner holds the fanbase in."We have no idea where we are in the process. Are the experts employed to assist in the job of finding a new manager still in the building? Are they continuing to advise? We hope they are but we just don't know."We will continue to liaise with the club to try and urge them to improve communication as fans deserve to be treated better."
