Hampshire’s innings had two distinct sections. A scrappy half where every run had to be fought for, and then the other, where fun was the operative word.Having been put in, James Vince middled two gorgeous fours before he and opening partner Toby Albert were caught pulling Charlie Bennett, who bowled better than his 2-44 suggested.Tom Prest also holed out but Weatherley and Stubbs grafted in a 64-run partnership to put Hampshire in the right direction for some death overs destruction.When Weatherley found long-on, Stubbs and Cartwright pumped out 84 from the final 37 balls.Stubbs took down Luc Benkenstein with a…

Several of today’s papers lead on an essay by former Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair criticising the Labour government. The Telegraph summarises his words with “Starmer has no plan for Britain”, calling Sir Tony’s comments a “stinging attack”. In a follow up to the news that former SNP chief Peter Murrell admitted to embezzling £400,000 from the Scottish party, the Telegraph says a witness “casts doubt” on Murrell’s wife, former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, not knowing of his crime. It reports Sturgeon had said she was unaware of a motorhome Murrell had bought, but one man says he saw her…

Defeating Tabur stretched Sinner’s winning streak to 30 matches, which has already yielded clay-court titles in Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome.His most recent triumph in Rome meant he completed the full set of nine ATP Masters 1000 titles – known as the ‘career Golden Masters’.Sinner dominated the opening two sets, with winners flowing from his racquet while unforced errors were kept to a minimum.Tabur did not have a break point in the match as Sinner wrapped up victory in two hours and eight minutes.Sinner’s path to the Coupe des Mousquetaires is already without one major obstacle because Alcaraz is absent…

As part of the audit, they are considering numerous factors to work out why it has become such a problem.For example, Spurs are analysing the “bounce” on the club’s home pitch in comparison to that at rival grounds and their Enfield training centre.At present, the club have found there is no major difference between the conditions of other pitches in comparison to their home ground, but testing is ongoing.There is a view that certain knee injuries are unavoidable – Odobert for instance damaged his ACL following an awkward landing.It is also understood Spurs are confident the on-field treatment of Simons’…
