MEN’S FOOTBALL: A full set of English Championship fixtures take place tomorrow evening with Southampton looking to extend their 16-match run when they host Plymouth in the early kick off. The pick of the other games include league leaders Leicester at Cardiff, second-placed Ipswich hosting strugglers QPR, form-team Coventry taking on Swansea, bottom club Rotherham facing Sunderland and it’s fourth against fifth when Leeds travel to West Brom. 

MEN’S RUGBY UNION: Exeter will move top of the English Premiership with a bonus point win in Bristol tomorrow night in front of what is guaranteed to be a bumper crowd at Ashton gate with 22,000 tickets already sold. Current table-toppers Bath are not in action until Sunday when they travel to Leicester and second-placed Sale play third-placed Northampton tomorrow. Exeter won the reverse fixture against Bristol 29-20 earlier this year. 

MEN’S CRICKET: New Zealand head into tomorrow’s game with Bangladesh one down in their three-match Twenty20 series after losing the opener by five wickets in Napier on Wednesday. Shoriful Islam took 3-26 as the Kiwis struggled to 134-9 before Liton Das hit an unbeaten 41 to steer the visitors home with eight balls to spare. New Zealand are ranked as the world’s third best short format team with Bangladesh in ninth.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: Despite leading by five points in the fourth quarter the Detroit Pistons slipped to a 118-112 loss at home to Brooklyn on Tuesday that sealed their 27th straight defeat, setting an unwanted record for the longest ever losing run in an NBA season. The Pistons head to Boston today to take on a Celtics team that has only lost six times and tops the Eastern Conference.
