Paul Seixas of France celebrates as he crosses the finish line to win the Belgian cycling classic Fleche Wallonne (Walloon Arrow), in Huy, Belgium, April 22, 2026

MEN’S CRICKET: Sussex put County Championship Division One’s only remaining 100 per cent record on the line when they visit bottom-of-the-table Yorkshire tomorrow.

Winless Yorkshire haven’t even picked up a bonus batting point yet.

Unbeaten reigning champions Nottingham face Warwickshire while Surrey, who have drawn both of their matches, host Essex and the newly promoted sides meet when Glamorgan take on Leicestershire in Cardiff.


CYCLING: 19-year-old French rider Paul Seixas overcame an early crash to win Wednesday’s La Fleche Wallonne race by three seconds from Switzerland’s Mauro Schmid, with Briton Ben Tullett in third.

Dutch rider Demi Vollering attacked at the base of the final Mur de Huy climb to win the women’s event by a bike length from compatriot, and defending champion, Puck Pieterse with Spain’s Paula Blasi in third.


WOMEN’S FOOTBALL: It’s first against second when Hearts are at Rangers in the Premier League later tomorrow afternoon.

Hearts currently enjoy a one-point lead over the light blues, with Glasgow City in third, just two points off the top, before they travel to Partick Thistle.

Tomorrow evening’s other game sees defending champions Hibernian looking to extend their eight match unbeaten run when they visit fourth-placed Celtic.


MEN’S BASKETBALL: Adam Mokoka netted 14 points and made nine defensive rebounds as Bourg-en-Bresse turned in a superb defensive performance to claim a surprise 70-62 win over Besiktas in Wednesday evening’s first-leg of the EuroCup final in Istanbul.

It was the Turks’ first home loss in 12 games this season.

The second match of the potentially three-legged final takes place in eastern France next Tuesday.
