For the new series, a glut of huge names and personalities from across the worlds of film, TV, music, modelling and broadcasting have also been selected.Michael Sheen, the award-winning Welsh…

The 7,500-capacity Copper Box was some way short of full, with the upper tier closed and empty seats dotted around the arena.But Fisher’s “Bosh Army” did their best to fill the gaps with noise, giving the “Romford Bull” a raucous reception.Alongside his social-media star father “Big John”, Fisher has built a loyal following through an unusually unfiltered glimpse into family life, training camps and the pair’s well-documented enthusiasm for Chinese takeaways.Fisher started with intent, swinging heavy hooks and reddening Pirotton’s eye in the opening round.The little-known Belgian was unfazed by the home support or Fisher’s pressure, but his eye was…

Resuming on ten without loss, Lancashire scored only 66 runs and lost three wickets in 32 overs during the morning session.And the manner of the dismissals epitomised the county’s travails with the bat this season. Having made 17 in 110 minutes Keaton Jennings swept Parkinson to Shaf Ghafari at deep square leg; two overs later, fine work by Ben McKinney and Parkinson ran out Michael Jones for 11 after the opener had dithered over a quick single with Bohannon.A third wicket was wasted when Marcus Harris swung Parkinson to Ghafari at deep midwicket and departed for 11.A quarter of an…
