T20 Blast Quarter-Finals Notts v Essex - Aug 8 Northants v Middlesex - Aug 9 Gloucestershire v Durham - Aug 10 Glamorgan v Yorkshire - Aug 11 Yorkshire progressed from their group for only the second time in nine seasons after half-centuries from Jack Leaning (64 from 29 balls) and Alex Lees (59 from 50) and impressive bowling from Tim Bresnan (3-15) propelled the side to a 14-run victory at Northants.Durham also advanced from the North Group following a 13-run triumph over Derbyshire, Calum MacLeod (83 from 50) and Mark Stoneman (82 from 56) putting on a Durham record 141 for the second wicket as the Jets pipped the Falcons to fourth spot in the table. Watch this brilliant catch from Chesney Hughes to dismiss Keaton Jennings during the game between Durham and Derbyshire Essex, meanwhile, landed the last qualification place from the South Group courtesy of the point they picked up from their washed out game at home to Glamorgan - the rain preventing the Eagles from replying to Glamorgans 184-5, in which Colin Ingram cracked 101 from 56 balls. Colin Ingram hit a century for Glamorgan Surreys Jason Roy plundered the highest score of the night, though - the England limited-overs opener biffing an unbeaten 120 from 62 balls, including 15 fours and three sixes, as the London side beat Kent by 37 runs at The Oval.Roy and Aaron Finch (79 from 51) thrashed 187 for the opening wicket in 17.2 overs as Surrey racked up 212-4 before restricting Kent to 175-7 in reply - but the rain in Chelmsford meant Gareth Battys men missed out on the quarter-finals. Jason Roy smashed an unbeaten 120 for Surrey Birmingham Bears hopes of progression were also dashed as they slipped up against reigning champions Lancashire Lightning, despite only being set 125 for victory at Emirates Old Trafford.Lancashire could only post 124-5 from their 20 overs, thanks mainly to an unbroken sixth-wicket stand of 65 between Tom Moores (39no from 32) and Jordan Clark (31no from 18).But Birmingham ended on 94-8 - teenage pacer Saqib Mahmood the pick of the Lancashire attack with figures of 3-18 - to fall out of the top four positions in the North Group.North Group table toppers Nottinghamshire wrapped up their league campaign with a stunning eight-wicket win over rock-bottom Leicestershire Foxes on Duckworth-Lewis. Dan Christian faced 16 balls - and hit six of them for six! Michael Lumb (69no from 26) clubbed nine fours and five sixes for Notts, while Dan Christian (54 from 16) hammered six maximums - including four in a row off Rob Sayer - at a soggy Trent Bridge.Gloucestershire secured top spot in the South Group with a four-wicket win over Middlesex, Benny Howell (3-18) shining with the ball before Jack Taylor (44no off 23) sealed victory with a six.Somerset, however, were consigned to bottom place in the South Group following an 83-run hammering by Hampshire at The Ageas Bowl in which they were bundled out for 98 in 15.2 overs.Liam Dawson (5-17) mopped up Somersets middle and lower order with his left-arm spin after Tom Alsop had cracked a T20 best 85 from 57 balls in Hampshires 181-3.

He reps the 4-1-6The insecurity of Canadian basketball fans is not what it once was with the home grown talent making its way to the big leagues, but it is still nice to see the local kids remembering where they come from once they make their way south.Late last summer, London bookmakers were offering 2-to-1 odds Manchester United would retain the BPL title and meagre 1-to-14 odds they would finish in amongst the Champions League spots. Not sure any bookies were offering odds that, deep into the business end of the season, Liverpool would be placing job ads related to a victory parade the club are planning to possibly stage the day after the season ends. For those who recollect the quite extraordinary city scenes the day after Liverpool had beaten AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League Final when a reported 750,000 people lined the route as an open top bus carrying the European champions made its way from John Lennon Airport to City Hall, these arent the type of events you leave to chance. Even the Queen got in on the act then, as she sent the club her congratulations from Edmonton on the last day of her Canadian tour. A bus of an entirely different nature may have derailed Liverpools title bid after their club record equalling 11-game winning streak grinded to a rather abrupt halt last Sunday, but there can be no denying Liverpools rightful place at the head table - that Champions League virtuous circle more commonly referred to as the "top four." Having finished last season in a very distant seventh place, the turnaround at Liverpool has been nothing short of remarkable and especially when you consider the spending power and superior squad strengths of their title rivals. With Champions League football assured for next season, the target Brendan Rodgers set out with last August, making it all that more special their place back amongst the elite of English football, has come at the expense of their bitter rivals Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson may have preached patience for the incoming manager to the 75,000 in attendance at Old Trafford at his final home game last May, but how about the patience of the Anfield faithful who have waited almost a quarter of a century since their last championship triumph? Although the Chelsea reversal last week handed the initiative to Manchester City, that disappointment pales into insignificance when recalling how the 1989 title was decided. Arsenal not only had to go to Anfield on the last day of the 1989 season and win, but they had to do so by a two-goal advantage. With 90 minutes on the clock and Arsenal leading 1-0 the title was Liverpools.dddddddddddd Then, with time running out in added time, up popped Arsenals Michael Thomas to score the decisive goal. Seconds later came the final whistle, as Liverpool players lay completely distraught on the hallowed Anfield turf. Arsenal celebrated, the Kop, for once, in stunned silence. How cruel the beautiful game can be. No victory parades will be staged for the clubs who escape the dreaded drop going into the penultimate weekend of the season, with even FA Cup finalists Hull all the way up in 13th place not safe yet. Following a run of five-straight defeats that firmly rooted Sunderland to the foot of the table in mid-April, it led to questions been asked if Gus Poyet, who had only replaced Paolo Di Canio in October, would resign before seasons end. But my how the club have responded, most famously taking Jose Mourinhos unbeaten BPL home record, earlier this year. On Friday, 21-year old striker Connor Wickham was named BPL player of the month for April, his five goals playing a huge part as the club moved out of the bottom three for the first time since February. With a game in hand against the teams below them, Sunderland control their own destiny. Norwich, Fulham and Cardiff will need help from others this weekend. With the possibility that top place could change hands three times between tomorrow and Monday afternoon when Liverpool play, the real prospect exists come the final game of the season next Sunday that three clubs will still be in contention for the title. This would be the first time this has occurred in the BPL-era and, in doing so, will plunge the league into a silverware crisis. As there are only two BPL trophies in existence and, as traditionally the trophy is handed out on the last day of the season, a trophy will be needed next Sunday at Anfield, the Etihad and in Cardiff where Chelsea plays. So come the final whistle between Crystal Palace and Liverpool at Selhurst Park on Monday afternoon, the Premier League may have to put a call and a delicate request into Old Tra
