SPEEDWAY: It’s all square before tonight’s second leg of the Premiership Knockout Cup final after Nicolai Klindt top-scored with 14+2 points to help King’s Lynn come from behind and draw 45-45 with Leicester on Monday evening.

MEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE: The Super League has announced that it will expand from 12 to 14 teams at the end of this season.

Super League was reduced from 14 to 12 teams in 2015.
