MCC’s head of ticketing at Lord’s has been sacked for handing out tickets to leading matches for personal gain. A club statement sent to the 18,500 members, after an investigation involving external solicitors, revealed that Simon Wakefield had been dismissed “on grounds of gross misconduct” and had admitted the allegations.

Ali Orr is not your stereotypical Millwall supporter. The 23-year-old Hampshire opener, from Eastbourne on the south coast, is friendly, with an engaging smile and a measured approach.
