Sensational Scheffler reminds everyone why he is still No 1 with Masters masterclass | Andy Bull

Now, even at the age of 37, he was still too fast, fluid and accurate for the lumbering Makhmudov.The Russian from Dagestan hits hard and 17 of his previous 21 victories had featured successful stoppages within the first three rounds.

County cricket: Northants make history with four hundreds as Leics frustrate Surrey – as it happened

Leicestershire gave Surrey a shock at the Oval, defying, not collapsing in the face of 520.

Just trust in Willie and let history do the rest.For a moment or two, when Jordans established a seven-length lead on the turn for home, the prospect of a 28-1 upset loomed large
