MEN’S CRICKET: England will look to seal a 3-0 series win over the West Indies when the sides begin their final test at Edgbaston tomorrow.

England romped to an innings and 114-run win in the first match before the Windies collapsed to a 241 run loss last week.

Gus Atkinson’s introduction to test cricket has seen the Surrey paceman take 16 wickets in two matches, two more than he managed in his five county championship games.

WOMEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE: Two-time winners the Newcastle Knights begin the defence of their National Rugby League Premiership title when they take on last year’s runners-up the Sydney Roosters tomorrow.

A win for Newcastle will see them become the first women’s team to win 10 consecutive NRL games.

Roosters’ influential player Corban Baxter has already been ruled out for the season after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament.

WOMEN’S CRICKET: Bangladesh meet defending champions and seven-time winners India in tomorrow morning’s first semi-final at the Twenty20 Asian Cup in Dambulla.

The Indians cruised through their qualifying group with an unbeaten record while Bangladesh lost once, to hosts Sri Lanka who play Pakistan in the second semi-final tomorrow afternoon.

MEN’S FOOTBALL: The Lowland League kicks off its new season tomorrow evening as Celtic reserves play the Cumbernauld Colts at Airdrie’s Excelsior Stadium and East Stirlingshire head into Edinburgh to face Hearts B.

Last year’s champions East Kilbride, who narrowly missed out on promotion to League Two after losing to Stranraer in the play-off final, get their ball rolling against the Civil Service Strollers on Saturday.
