Derek Underwood, one of England and Kent's greatest ever bowlers, has died at the age of 78. Slow left-armer Underwood took 297 wickets in 86 Tests between 1966 and 1982, the most by any England spinner. He claimed 2,465 wickets in 676 first-class matches overall, representing only Kent, the county of his birth, in a stellar 24-year domestic career. Underwood was appointed an MBE in 1981 and was president of the Marylebone Cricket Club in 2009. He also took 32 wickets in 26 one-day internationals and would have represented England more but for joining World Series Cricket in 1977 and the rebel tour of South Africa in 1981-82. Nicknamed 'Deadly', Underwood was one of 55 inaugural members inducted into the International Cricket Council Hall of Fame when it launched in 2009. Kent Cricket chair Simon Philip said the club is "in mourning following the passing of one of its greatest ever players". He added: "Derek was an outstanding contributor to both Kent and England, winning trophies for club and country and etching his name in the history books forevermore." Known for his high level of accuracy, Underwood would often bowl much quicker than most spinners but was also able to deceive batters with variations of pace and length. He was particularly challenging to face on uncovered pitches that had been affected by rain, his faster pace helping to skid the ball on to batters quickly, while also able to extract turn on surfaces starting to dry out. "Watching Derek weave his unique magic on a wet wicket was a privilege for all who were able to witness it," added Philip. "His induction into the ICC Hall of Fame shows the esteem in which he was held in world cricket. "An advocate for growing our game worldwide whilst protecting our sport's rich heritage, Derek also made substantial contributions off the field as well as on it, and he will be sorely missed by everyone at Kent Cricket." Underwood is sixth on England's Test wicket-takers list, having taken 42 more scalps than the next spinner and seventh overall, Graeme Swann. READ MORE

After every Premier League weekend, BBC football pundit Garth Crooks gathers his thoughts and gives you his Team of the Week. Here are this week's choices and, as ever, Garth also discusses the game's big talking points in the Crooks of the Matter. Listen to the latest Football Daily podcast Follow your Premier League club and get news, analysis and fan views sent direct to you Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa): To beat Arsenal took a superb team performance by Aston Villa from start to finish and it was a wonderful return to Emirates Stadium for manager Unai Emery. His team couldn't have performed any better than a 2-0 win away from home. As far as tactics go Aston Villa carried them out to the letter and it started with Emiliano Martinez. Playing out from the back, and when Arsenal are pressing, you have to have nerves of steel. Martinez remained unshakeable throughout this entire fixture. However, he is a goalkeeper first and foremost and when he was called on to produce something special he did precisely that. His point-blank save from Leandro Trossard at a crucial stage in the match was a turning point in the game and Villa never looked back. This is a team and a manager who look like they might be going places. Fabian Schar (Newcastle): Fabian Schar should have been booked in the first few minutes against Tottenham for his tackle on Son Heung-min and so should Dan Burn for pulling back James Maddison. If referees are going to be lenient in the opening exchanges, and I detect more officials are giving players a little latitude, it should not be for deliberate or premeditated offences. Let's not go back to the days when it was accepted a defender could have a free hit at a striker and the official would turn a blind eye. Having said that, the fixture was never in doubt once Newcastle realised that their visitors were never up for the battle. This was a poor show by Tottenham but an impressive performance in the end by Newcastle. From his very first tackle, Schar was determined to leave an impression on the game and he did just that. Joachim Andersen (Crystal Palace): To win at Anfield was a magnificent result for Crystal Palace and Joachim Andersen was at the heart of this victory for the Eagles. The Denmark international was outstanding alongside Nathaniel Clyne, Jefferson Lerma and Tyrick Mitchell, who between them kept an impressive clean sheet. The result almost certainly means that Palace will now avoid being sucked into any sort of scrap with Everton, Nottingham Forest or Luton, who are all desperately trying to avoid relegation. Meanwhile, Liverpool's Mo Salah was well off the pace and has been for some time. Jurgen Klopp's team looked like the midweek defeat against Atalanta in the Europa League had taken too much out of them and they appeared to be running on fumes. Whether Liverpool can recover from dropping points in their last two league fixtures and still mount a credible title challenge remains to be seen, but I think they may have blown it. Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City): He scored his first goal for the club at the Bernabeu in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in midweek and then along came his first Premier League strike against Luton Town just four days later. Both were quite superb, although the finish against Real Madrid would have carried far more significance. Nevertheless, the way the Croatia international has seamlessly slotted into the Manchester City set-up is incredibly impressive. Gvardiol's success since he burst into the team has given City options. The full-back is as comfortable on the ball as Joao Cancelo was when he was occupying the position and seems just as capable of scoring goals. City, who went two points clear at the top of the table, now look ominous. With six league games left to play in the Premier League, a second Treble is still very much on the cards. Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest): If Nottingham Forest are to stay in the Premier League this season they must keep Morgan Gibbs-White fit. He was their inspiration in the 2-2 draw against Wolves and his headed goal epitomised how the lad is not afraid to get in where it hurts in order to score goals. READ MORE

Manchester City moved to the Premier League summit with a 5-1 win over Luton on Saturday and were handed a further advantage in the title race when Liverpool and Arsenal suffered surprise defeats on Sunday. City sit two points clear, but with that margin separating three teams it remains the tightest title race at this stage of a season since 1998-99. "What it means for the title race, I am not dumb. The answer is pretty easy," said Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp after his side's 1-0 defeat by Crystal Palace at Anfield. Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice insisted he did not watch or even know the Liverpool score before the Gunners were beaten 2-0 by Aston Villa later on Sunday. "I still think there will be plenty more twists and turns to go," Rice added. "We're in a three-horse title race with two unbelievable sides but, as you've seen with other results today, the Premier League can throw up anything. "Six finals to go in the Premier League and we'll give it everything." Man City now firm favourites Opta, with its 10,000 'supercomputer' simulations, believes Manchester City's dressing room is the place to be. Following their rivals' defeats, City are rated as having a 70.1% chance of lifting the trophy for a fourth time in a row.

"From what was a very strong position for Rangers, it becomes a very strong position for Celtic" - all thanks to one historic afternoon in Dingwall. Former Scotland striker John Robertson was responding to Ross County's first-ever win over their visitors from Glasgow. Philippe Clement's Rangers headed to the Highlands with their eyes on maximum points from their two games in hand. They knew that winning Sunday's game and Wednesday's match at Dundee would take them top of the Scottish Premiership again by two points. Instead, a 3-2 defeat leaves Rangers four adrift of the reigning champions and with games fast running out to overhaul their city rivals. It now looks like Rangers will have to win the final Old Firm derby of the season - having already failed to beat Celtic on three occasions this season - to have any chance of a 56th Scottish title. And do so at Celtic Park. County make history as Rangers suffer title blow Celtic 'coming alive' as St Mirren beaten Worst defensive display under Clement? Then-leaders Rangers were let off the hook in early March when their last domestic slip-up, a home defeat by Motherwell, was followed the next day by Heart of Midlothian's victory over Celtic. However, the warning signs were possibly there that Rangers' previous 11-game winning run masked an element of fragility. Clement's side earned another reprieve last weekend when they gifted Celtic a 2-0 lead and also came from 3-2 behind to earn a draw that kept them a point behind but with a game in hand. READ MORE

Andy Robertson insisted Liverpool will "keep fighting" despite their Premier League title hopes suffering a huge blow as they fell to a 1-0 defeat by Crystal Palace at Anfield. Eberechi Eze converted from Tyrick Mitchell's cut-back to finish off a flowing Palace move early on and the visitors were deservedly in front at the break. Jurgen Klopp's Reds ramped up the pressure in the second half but, just as in recent games against Manchester United and Atalanta, their finishing let them down as they lost at home in the league for the first time since October 2022. Defeat leaves Liverpool two points behind leaders Manchester City and level on points with Arsenal, who were beaten 2-0 by Aston Villa in Sunday's late kick-off. "I think we are always still in it. We are still there," Liverpool full-back Robertson told Sky Sports. "We will keep fighting, keep going to the end, and let's see where it gets us. "With six games to go we will give it everything we have got. The problem is there's two world-class teams doing it as well and that's the difficult part." 'Was this the day the Premier League title tide turned?' Palace started brightly and led through Eze's well-worked opener, before a slip from Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk gave Jean-Philippe Mateta a golden opportunity to double their lead. The striker was clean through and lifted his effort past the returning Alisson Becker but Scotland skipper Robertson sprinted back to hook the ball off the line. Liverpool rallied and Wataru Endo struck the bar after Palace failed to deal with a corner before Dean Henderson made a fine reaction save to deny Luis Diaz. Oliver Glasner's Palace retained a threat on the counter-attack until the break but were largely penned inside their own half in the second 45 minutes. Henderson made another superb stop from Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota's close-range effort was blocked by Nathaniel Clyne with the goalkeeper nowhere to be seen and Curtis Jones somehow sliced wide when through on goal.

Masters 2024 final leaderboard -11 Scheffler (US); -7 Aberg (Swe); -4 Morikawa (US), Homa (US), Fleetwood (Eng); -2 DeChambeau (US), Smith (Aus) Selected others: E Hatton (Eng), +4 McIlroy (NI), Fitzpatrick (Eng); +9 Rahm (Spa), Willett (Eng); +16 Woods (US) Full leaderboard World number one Scottie Scheffler won the Masters for a second time after a commanding performance at Augusta National demonstrated why he was the red-hot pre-tournament favourite. Scheffler, who led overnight by a shot, hit a four-under 68 in Sunday's final round to finish four clear on 11 under. Sweden's Ludvig Aberg shot 69 to finish runner-up on his major debut. England's Tommy Fleetwood (69) ended joint third with American pair Collin Morikawa (74) and Max Homa (73). Fleetwood put together an impressive round to make a late charge up the leaderboard and record his best finish at the Masters. But catching Scheffler was out of reach. The 27-year-old American showed rare emotion on the 18th green as he received the acclaim of the Augusta patrons after wrapping up his second Masters victory in three years. There had been a possibility the 2022 champion might not even play the final round. Scheffler's wife Meredith is due to give birth to their first child and the Texan said on Saturday he was prepared to leave Augusta mid-round if she went into labour on Sunday. Addressing his wife during the Green Jacket presentation ceremony, Scheffler said: "I love you and I'm coming home. I'll be home as quick as I can." He added: "I can't put into words what it is like to win here again and what it will be like to become a father for the first time." READ MORE

Ireland's Conor McGregor will return after almost three years out against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in Las Vegas on 29 June. Former two-weight champion McGregor, 35, has not fought since July 2021 and has lost his past two fights. The UFC confirmed the welterweight bout with American Chandler following UFC 300 in Las Vegas on Saturday. McGregor has 22 wins and six defeats in his MMA career, while 37-year-old Chandler is 23-8. Pereira knocks out Hill to retain UFC title at UFC 300 McGregor broke a leg in defeat by Poirier in his most recent fight in July 2021. He also lost to Poirier by second-round stoppage six months earlier. McGregor has won only once since becoming the UFC's first simultaneous two-weight champion - at lightweight and featherweight - in 2016. Chandler has been involved in some thrilling fights since moving from Bellator to the UFC in 2021, despite losing three of his five bouts. He lost to then champion Charles Oliveira in his second UFC fight before defeats by Justin Gaethje and Poirier. The McGregor-Chandler match-up was confirmed but no set date early last year, when they were opposing coaches in the UFC's Ultimate Fighter reality TV series. source

Alexander Isak's rich goalscoring form at St James' Park continued as Newcastle beat Tottenham to boost their hopes of European football next season. Isak produced two clinical finishes to score in each half as he netted on home turf for the sixth consecutive match. The striker now has 17 goals in 24 Premier League appearances this season. Anthony Gordan and Fabian Schar were also on target for the Magpies, while Timo Werner had two chances for Spurs but his finishing let him down. Newcastle's emphatic victory lifted them up to sixth in the table - above Manchester United, who drew 2-2 with Bournemouth, on goal difference. Spurs dropped to fifth, below Aston Villa on goal difference. Isak's star continues to rise Isak the latest in lineage of Newcastle strikers From Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole to Malcolm Macdonald and Jackie Milburn, Newcastle's fans have long held a special affinity for a goalscoring striker. Isak may have the number 14 emblazoned on the back of his shirt, but the Sweden striker is cut from the same cloth as names typically associated with the fabled number nine. READ MORE

When Jim Miller walks out at a sold out T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to face Bobby Green at UFC 300 on Saturday, he will set a unique record. The American lightweight is the only athlete who also fought at the UFC's landmark 100 and 200 events. The 40-year-old was victorious at both, beating Mac Danzig in 2009 and Takanori Gomi in 2016. When Miller faced the press at the pre-fight media conference, he sported a commemorative UFC 100 jacket to celebrate his achievement. "This is the first time I've ever worn it. I pulled it out of the closet, there's still dog hair on it. It's been in the closet for 15 years and I was like 'do you know what, this is the week to bring this out'," said Miller. "Funnily enough, all the fighters are getting a UFC 300 jacket. But nobody else on the card has got this puppy." Fighters to get $300,000 bonuses at UFC 300 Miller debuted in the UFC in 2008 and holds the record for the most fights in the organisation at 43 and the most wins, totalling 26. What makes Miller's longevity more remarkable is that before UFC 200, he was having doubts if he would make it to the event. Miller was suffering from Lyme disease - a condition caught from tick bites with symptoms including tiredness and loss of energy. "When I first started talking about [UFC 300] I was like 'OK, maybe I'll drag myself to that card', because that's what I was doing for 200 - I was having a really rough time," said Miller. "I feel I have four parts to my career - the prelim career, Lyme disease, coming out of Lyme and figuring out how to make this work being over 35. And now I've figured it out and got the right people around me." Miller has never fought for a title during his 16-year UFC career but championships will not define his legacy. READ MORE

It's all or nothing for Manchester United's season when they play their Women's FA Cup semi-final on Sunday - but why has their campaign been such a disappointment so far? Marc Skinner's side exceeded many people's expectations in 2022-23 by finishing runners-up in the Women's Super League after challenging for the title until the final day, and qualifying for the Champions League for the first time. This season, however, they are fourth - 15 points behind leaders Manchester City with four games to go - and look unlikely to catch third-placed Arsenal and make it back into Europe. Skinner wants to 'build success' at Man Utd It's not just United's results that have been underwhelming, it's some of their performances as well. I wanted to explore why, so I started thinking about why they were so effective last year, and looking at how good they are at the same things now. Why are they conceding more goals? The most obvious area where United have dropped off since last season is at the back. They are still scoring an average of more than two goals in every WSL game, but the rate at which they are conceding has more than doubled - from 0.55 goals per game, to 1.28. READ MORE
