The British rivals have 'completed the deal' for a second fight, according to The Ring Magazine, and will resume their rivalry after Eubank Jr claimed a thrilling points win at the same venue in April. Negotiations between the duo had appeared to have fallen apart last month, with Benn insisting he would look at alternative options after a rematch in September could not be agreed, but the fight will now take place before the end of the year.

Eubank Jr failed to make the middleweight limit for the first fight, although he did make the rehydration limit on the following morning, and the weight terms for the return bout are yet to be confirmed. The British Boxing Board of Control issued Eubank Jr with a £10,000 fine for misuse of social media after posting footage that suggested he was using a sauna to make weight. Benn has admitted he needs to be "less emotional" when he shares the ring again with his British rival. "I'm going to go in there and steam straight into him. Same as the first one, less emotional, shall we say," he told Sky Sports last month. "Less heart, more brains, you know? "I felt like in the fight, my demeanour was all win. I was up 30 seconds before the bell [to start each round]. I was up, ready to go. "You look at my demeanour and look at his, who's deflated? "For me, I'm excited to run it back, more educated. Experience gained, lessons learned, going to get in there and handle business." Nelson: Benn will win the rematch Sky Sports expert Johnny Nelson is backing Benn to gain revenge over Eubank Jr in their rematch. "I don't think Eubank can improve on his performance," said Nelson. "At times in the fight, I thought his legs looked stiff, looked stationary, like he was stuck in quicksand. "I do see improvement there for Conor and I do think the result will be the other way around in the next fight. He'll go the distance all over again but Conor now knows what he's capable of doing. "That's a bold statement to make because I have ultimate respect for both fighters, to Chris and his dad, Conor and his dad, but you're saying what you see. If they fight again, I think Conor wins."

Fittingly, it was Mohammed Siraj (5-104) who cleaned up Gus Atkinson (17) to seal India's win in the fifth Test, snaring his 23rd wicket of the series as England were all out for 367 while trying to pull off their second-highest chase of 374 - having knocked off 371 to win the opening Test at Headingley in late June. The stricken Woakes, who suffered a suspected left shoulder dislocation fielding on day one and now seems likely to miss The Ashes, came out at No 11 with 17 runs needed, but did not face a ball as Atkinson hogged strike. The cheers from England fans after Atkinson clipped Prasidh Krishna to long-on for one at the end of the 85th over were replaced by wild India celebrations a ball later when Siraj nailed Atkinson's off stump.

Stream cricket with no contract 📺Got Sky Sports? Watch cricket on Sky Sports app 📱 The moment would have been all the sweeter for Siraj after he failed to catch Harry Brook on 19 on day four - treading on the boundary cushion at deep fine leg after pouching the ball - with Brook (111) and Joe Root (105) subsequently taking England to 301-3 with a fourth-wicket stand of 195. However, India's quicks fought back that evening, getting the old ball to talk under leaden skies and in front of a raucous away support, with England closing on 339-6 and Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton given a thorough test before rain halted play early. A drama-laced final morning felt guaranteed and duly transpired with Overton (9) striking the first two balls for four to cut England's ask to 27 before the tireless Siraj nicked off Smith and pinned Overton lbw - England eight down with 20 needed. Every ball became an event - lbw shouts here, deliveries fizzing past edges there - and when Krishna (4-126) then castled Josh Tongue (0), Woakes made his brave entrance to rapturous applause. Atkinson whittled the requirement down to 11 as Akash Deep tipped his leg-side heave over the rope at deep midwicket for six but he was then poleaxed by Siraj without the need for the second new ball. Ashes awaits for England after series for the ages It was a remarkable end to a sensational series that featured outstanding individual performances, gripping games - all of which went to a fifth day - and oodles of needle. Zak Crawley's third-evening time-wasting in the third Test at Lord's was the catalyst for notable rancour between the sides, animosity that spilled over into the fourth match in Manchester and finale in London with spicy send-offs and verbal exchanges. In the end, though, India kept their cool, condemning England to defeat in the final Test of a series for the fourth time in a row, after closing losses to Sri Lanka at home last summer and in Pakistan and New Zealand over the winter. England remain without a series win in a contest of five matches since drubbing India 4-1 at home in 2018, a run they will hope to snap when they travel to Australia for The Ashes this winter, with the barbs already started by ex-Australia opener David Warner. England still have questions to answer before then, perhaps most pressingly who their spinner will be, but will head down under with real optimism for the first time in quite a while, partly due to shakiness in Australia's batting line-up. India leave with series draw and future looks bright Now, though, is the time to champion India as a 2-2 draw is perhaps the least the tourists deserved. They arguably won more sessions across the five games than their opponents and while they were unable to secure victory, they at least ended a run of two series defeats on the trot after being swept 3-0 at home by New Zealand and going down 3-1 in Australia. Another poor result may have piled the pressure on prickly head coach Gautam Gambhir, who was involved in an unseemly clash with Oval groundsman Lee Fortis two days out from the fifth Test. But this creditable draw will give him some breathing space and the future looks so bright for India with Siraj, run-machine skipper Shubman Gill - who plundered 754 runs against England - Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul set to form the nucleus. India have Test series at home to West Indies and South Africa this autumn and winter, while for England it is now full focus on The Ashes as they plot how to win the urn for the first time in a decade - and win it overseas for the first time since 2010/11. If that series is anything like their battle with India, we are in for an absolute treat.

Harris (89no off 42 balls) shared a Spirit-record stand of 100 from 52 balls with Cordelia Griffith (50 off 29) - the latter notching her maiden Hundred fifty - as the hosts carded 176-5, the second-highest score in the women's competition. Harris was dropped on 22 by Ryana MacDonald-Gay at long-off and punished Invincibles for that error, nailing six sixes - including back-to-back maximums off spinner Sophia Smale - and seven fours.

Watch The Hundred on Sky Sports app 📱Get the Sky Sports push notifications you want 🔔 Beginning a daunting chase, Invincibles saw skipper Lauren Winfield-Hill (0) pinned lbw second ball by Tara Norris and, bar a breezy 22 off 13 balls from Alice Capsey, they struggled to get going early on. However, Lanning (85 off 51), who had been scratchy to start, then ignited with a barrage of boundaries and when she went six, four, four, six off Eva Gray to leave the requirement 27 from 10 balls, the visitors had real hope. But Lanning then holed out at deep midwicket off Issy Wong (2-26) three balls later and Invincibles ended on 159-4 with Spirit skipper Charlie Dean conceding just three of the 21 runs needed from the final five deliveries. Wong earlier bowled Marizanne Kapp (33 off 21), while leg-spinner Sarah Glenn - looking to force her way back into the England set-up ahead of this autumn's World Cup in India - trapped Capsey lbw.

The McLaren pair have left the rest of the field behind them as they each seek a maiden world championship having combined to bring their team a constructors' title last year. The battle has ebbed and flowed wonderfully over the first 14 rounds, with Norris' victory in Hungary before the break having cut Piastri's lead to just nine points.

Australian GP: Norris triumphs as Piastri spins on home soil Norris started the season perfectly by converting pole position into victory as he mastered a chaotic opener in mixed conditions. He was challenged for the majority of the race by team-mate Piastri until huge drama on Lap 44 when sudden heavy rain led to both McLarens sliding wide in the final sector. Norris managed to swiftly get back on the road but Piastri, much to the devastation of his home fans, got stuck on the wet grass for over a minute. Norris held off Max Verstappen in the closing stages to take a thrilling win, while Piastri could only recover to ninth. POINTS: Norris 25-2 Piastri Chinese GP: Piastri hits back at first 2025 Sprint weekend Piastri followed Lewis Hamilton home in the first Sprint of the season while Norris paid the price for a poor Sprint Qualifying and a difficult opening lap, ending the shortened contest in eighth. Although George Russell split the McLarens in main Qualifying, Piastri pinched the Mercedes driver on the run down to Turn 1 which allowed Norris to get into second place. The McLaren duo held onto those positions at the chequered flag, although Norris needed to manage a brake issue in the last eight laps as he narrowly held off Russell. POINTS: Norris 44-34 Piastri Japanese GP: Norris edges Piastri as Verstappen wins Max Verstappen paused talk of an all-McLaren title battle by producing a mighty lap to take pole position at Suzuka before going on to win his first race of the season by holding off Norris and Piastri. The top three started and finished in the same positions with Norris almost getting alongside Verstappen during the only pit stop of the race. Piastri got close to challenging Norris towards the end of the Grand Prix but ultimately had to settle for third. POINTS: Norris 62-49 Piastri Bahrain GP: Piastri dominates as Norris endures messy weekend Piastri found his groove in Bahrain to put together a flawless weekend that saw him take pole position before cruising to a lights-to-flag race victory. It was far less straightforward for Norris as another qualifying blunder left him starting from sixth, before a five-second time penalty for starting from beyond his grid slot stiffened his task. His spirit couldn't be questioned as he came through tussles with the Ferraris of both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc to get back up to third, but a messy afternoon ultimately saw him run out of time to take second from Russell and his championship lead reduced to three points. POINTS: Norris 77-74 Piastri Saudi Arabian GP: Piastri earns title lead with win after Norris crash Norris' qualifying woes reached new heights in Saudi Arabia as he this time found one of the waiting walls of the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. Thankfully for him, the accident came in Q3 so he was at least assured of 10th on the grid as Piastri qualified second behind Verstappen. Piastri showed his championship mettle by getting the better of Verstappen at the start, with the Dutchman's desperate attempts to stay in front earning him a time penalty that would set the McLaren up for victory. Norris put together a strong charge to put himself in podium contention, but was ultimately denied a podium by Leclerc as Piastri earned his first ever lead of the Drivers' Championship. POINTS: Norris 89-99 Piastri Miami GP: Piastri seals hat-trick of wins The second Sprint weekend of the season provided plenty of drama as Italian teenager Kimi Antonelli took a shock Sprint pole for Mercedes, before Norris benefitted from a timely Safety Car to beat Piastri in a wet-dry 19-lap contest. Verstappen snatched another grand prix pole from Norris but with Piastri only fourth on the grid the Brit was set up to make ground on his team-mate. It went wrong for Norris at the start as a tussle with Verstappen left him off the tarmac and down in sixth. While he was fighting his way back through the field, Piastri was masterfully taking the lead from Verstappen. Norris eventually got past Verstappen after another battle, but had once more given up too much ground to be able to challenge Piastri for the win, with the Australian stretching out his lead in the standings. POINTS: Norris 115-131 Piastri Emilia-Romagna GP: Norris makes late pass on Piastri to stop rot Having seen Piastri win three successive races, Norris stopped the rot with a late overtake on his team-mate to take second in Imola as Verstappen delivered another upset. Piastri started on pole but was passed around the outside by Verstappen at the first chicane. McLaren pitted Piastri early but the Australian lost time in the traffic, while Norris eventually extended his first stint in a McLaren split of strategies. A Safety Car then played into Norris' hands, putting him on the back of second-placed Piastri with much fresher tyres, which led to an overtake around the outside of Turn 2 with six laps remaining to reduce his championship deficit. POINTS: Norris 133-146 Piastri Monaco GP: Norris masters Monaco Norris took the all-important pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix and then overcame the introduction of a second mandatory pit stop, which the FIA had hoped would spice of the race. The fact that the new rules didn't change much suited Norris just fine, with Piastri having to settle for tor third having been out-qualified by Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. The result almost put Norris back on level terms. POINTS: Norris 158-161 Piastri Spanish GP: Piastri dominates in Barcelona Scruffy laps in Q3 for Norris and a great effort from Piastri gave the latter his fourth pole of the season. Verstappen jumped Norris at the start and by the time the McLaren driver had got back ahead on Lap 13, Piastri was well clear. A late Safety Car for Kimi Antonelli's broken Mercedes brought the field together with seven laps remaining, but Piastri nailed the restart and Norris never got close to challenging him for the win. POINTS: Norris 176-186 Piastri Canadian GP: It finally happened! Norris and Piastri collide A new version of the McLaren suspension designed to give Norris a more favourable feeling at the front of the car appeared to boost the Brit as he impressed throughout practice, but another error-strewn Q3 left him only seventh on the grid as Piastri took third. As front-row occupants George Russell and Verstappen battled for the win, Piastri faced late pressure from the charging Norris in the fight for fourth, before disaster struck! Norris went for it with five laps to go at the Turn 10 hairpin but Piastri ducked back underneath, and the McLaren duo ran side by side down the back straight. Piastri got ahead into the final chicane, only for Norris to have a better exit so he looked for a gap that was never really there as they crossed the finish line, hitting the rear of his team-mate and dramatically crashing out. Norris accepted blame immediately and apologised to the team and Piastri, with the Australian quite happily accepting having been able to build his biggest lead of the year by finishing fourth. POINTS: Norris 176-198 Piastri Austrian GP: Norris bounces back Norris continued to look more comfortable in the upgraded McLaren as he took a dominant pole, with Piastri having to settle for third on the grid behind Leclerc after having his second flying lap in Q3 ruined by yellow flags. The Australian put that disappointment behind him by immediately passing the Ferrari on the opening lap, setting up a race-long battle for victory between the McLarens. Piastri showed impressive pace to push Norris all the way, but the latter kept his composure to complete a perfect response to the drama of Canada. POINTS: Norris 201-216 Piastri British GP: Piastri's costly error gifts Norris home win Having both been stunned by Verstappen again in qualifying, rain on race day played into the McLaren drivers' hands at Silverstone. Piastri easily got past as the Dutchman struggled in the wet with a wrong set-up but was punished for blunder on a Safety Car restart on Lap 21. The Australian was deemed to have braked "erratically" after the Safety Car lights went out which saw Verstappen dart to the right to avoid his rival, so Piastri was given a 10-second time penalty. He served it at the final pit stop when the drivers switched for slicks which gave Norris the lead and a special home win to the delight of the British fans. POINTS: Norris 226-234 Piastri Belgian GP: Piastri brilliance extends championship lead Piastri lost out to Verstappen in a tense Belgian Grand Prix Sprint, with Norris finishing behind the leading duo in third. However, Piastri made up for it with some magic on the opening lap of the main race on the next day. Norris took pole but in wet conditions, Piastri timed his run perfectly through Eau Rouge to get into Norris' slipstream and breeze past his team-mate on the Kemmel Straight. He did not put a foot wrong over the remaining 43-and-a-half laps, even with Norris on the theoretically better hard tyres compared to Piastri on the mediums when the drivers switched to slicks. Three crucial small errors from Norris meant he never got close to closing down his nine-second deficit to Piastri after the only pit stop phase. POINTS: Norris 250-266 Piastri Hungarian GP: Norris fends off Piastri in thriller Leclerc upstaged the McLarens in a dramatic qualifying at the Hungaroring, leaving Piastri second and Norris third. However, Norris lost ground at the start and dropped to fifth, so his chances of victory quickly became slim. A two-stop race was expected, so Piastri attempted to undercut Leclerc at the first round of pit stops but was unable to execute it, while Norris benefitted from Russell pitting soon after the leaders to not lose too much time. McLaren decided to give Norris the option of a one-stop strategy, to which he said "why not" as the race approached half distance. After Leclerc and Piastri pitted for a second time, Norris was now leading but with significantly worse tyres for the last 25 laps. Piastri whittled away at his 12-second deficit to Norris, while overtaking Leclerc due to a tyre offset and the Ferrari driver struggling with an issue. With five laps to go, Piastri got within DRS range. He had a half-look to the inside of Norris into Turn 1 with three laps remaining then gave McLaren a scare as he locked up at the start of the penultimate lap and nearly hit his team-mate. Norris managed to hold on and take a crucial win to leave the title race finely poised going into the sport's summer break.

The Cruyff Courts, as they are now named, certainly look a little different to the ones he spent hours playing on; the concrete surface has gone, but the soul, the feel of the place remains, evoking some of Gakpo's happiest childhood memories. Back for the first time as a Premier League champion at the place where he did so much of his growing up fills him with immense pride. "You know, when you're young, you just do whatever you like and I liked to play football a lot, so that's what I did a lot," he says. "I wouldn't believe you if you'd told me I'd be a Premier League champion, I wouldn't be thinking about it. "Being here now it does make you think back about everything you've been through, those moments, we reached something very special this year." Transfer Centre LIVE! | Liverpool news & transfers🔴Summer transfer window: Key dates | Liverpool fixtures & scoresGet BREAKING NEWS notifications to your phone! 🔔Sky Sports to show 215 live PL games from next season In a matter of minutes, word is out and a small crowd begins to gather, all hoping to get a glimpse of the Liverpool star. Born in a house a short walk away from these cages, Gakpo represents the dreams and ambitions of so many of the people that wait patiently to get a picture and a quick word at the end. He was made here in Eindhoven and became one of the best in a place that is known as the "City of Innovation". Gakpo is just getting started. I ask where he keeps the winners' medal. "It's now in England, but when my dad comes back from Africa, I think I have to give it to him. I cannot keep it myself. So I have to win it again, so maybe I can keep that one." His dad, Johnny, is part of what weaves this story together and, without him, Gakpo might not have experienced one of the most memorable seasons of his life. Gakpo managed 18 goals in all competitions and one of those came in the moment that, for him, stands above the rest - the home game against Manchester City in early December, which Liverpool won 2-0. "It felt like a statement: we are here and we really want to compete with them." The day the club finally clinched the title against Tottenham was another when Gakpo played a key role. From the moment he woke up, he had a sense of how it would unfold. "I thought this day just couldn't go wrong. So even when Tottenham scored, I think nobody on the pitch had a worried feeling or anything, because we knew we were going to seal the deal that day." When he scored, Gakpo celebrated by lifting his shirt to reveal a t-shirt with the phrase 'I belong to Jesus,' emulating Kaka's iconic moment from the 2007 Champions League final. The t-shirt had been at home for a while, but he had the belief he would score on such a historic occasion and goes on to smile as he talks about how Kaka has been in touch since. He recalls "I think, because for a lot of players it was the first time and it being the biggest league in the world it was very special, and an emotional day for everybody involved. "I think we were all very proud at the time, still are what we did last season but it also gave us a lot of hunger that we want to do it again and again, and even we felt a little bit of frustration that we were knocked out of the Champions League, because then maybe we had something more special." Even the most ardent Gakpo fans in Eindhoven cannot have predicted his or Liverpool's story this season as Arne Slot took over from Jurgen Klopp. It was a transformation that even the locals, who pride themselves on that innovation, would be proud of. "It's his detail that's amazing," says Gakpo when we talk about why his Liverpool career has flourished under the Dutch coach this season and how the team surprised the rest of the Premier League. "In some games you just saw what he was like, he would say to Virgil to do a slight change, and then you see the whole team adapting, and then maybe we score a goal or we defend better and then when it works out you really believe in what he wants. You know how he wants to play, and then you have to adapt to that." I ask what he is like as a person; the side we often don't get to see, the Ibiza title-winning-party-celebrations-side to Slot. Gakpo laughs. "He's just very normal. When we start to train or when we do a meeting, he's very focused on what he wants us to do, and what he wants to teach us. He's very serious, very demanding as well, from the quality, from the intensity, but when the training is over and we do maybe a team activity or something, and he's there, he's very relaxed. "I think everybody likes him as a person. Obviously, when you win, it makes it a little bit easier. Occasionally, like in the derby against Everton, we saw a little bit of raw emotion from the manager, but I think, overall, he's very calm, and tries to speak with logic a lot of times. He doesn't let the emotion get the better of him." The next part of Gakpo's story takes us on a short walk through the park from the Cruyff Courts to the place where the foundations were really built. His biggest football inspiration lay closer to home in a grassy patch of land in the shadows of the house where he was born. Gakpo has played under the likes of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ronald Koeman, Klopp and Slot, but there is one coach who was the toughest of all. "Dad was, by far," he says, pointing to the Cruyff Courts. "Playing football over there was the fun bit, but the hard work was done here. The toughest, but also the best. I am going to stick with him as a coach, I cannot fire him! In my early teens, I was not maybe enjoying it so much, but when I look at what it has brought me and we're still doing it, I just really enjoy it." Even after a Champions League game, if things haven't gone the way he might have hoped, the pair have been found out in the back garden going through drills. "It means I also get to spend time with him, I don't live in Holland anymore, so then those moments are also like spending time with him. We really enjoy doing that, but it's still tough." Gakpo's dad was a footballer in Togo, his mum a rugby player for the Netherlands and the pair met when she travelled around the world, with them both eventually moving to Eindhoven. Throughout the day, Gakpo talks about making big decisions in life and how it has shaped his path. "Think about that one," he says, now sitting alongside his two brothers in the garden of the new family home. "Mum made that big decision and then for my Dad to make the decision to leave Africa to come to Europe is also a big decision," he says, now sitting alongside his two brothers in the garden of the new family home. "You need both situations, you need to be mentally very strong. That's what they learned at the end of it all, how to deal with such situations and how to always keep looking at yourself. How can you do better and how can you be honest to yourself and to grow." It is that courage in his conviction that comes through more than any of the sporting genes, though they certainly played their part. The sense of belief, the drive the ambition - and, as his brothers both joke, the stubbornness - that has taken him this far. It was evident from the age of seven, when Gakpo arrived at the PSV academy. Even before the club built a state-of-the-art complex, PSV had a reputation of nurturing and developing brilliant young players. The likes of Phillip Cocu, Arjen Robben and Memphis Depay stare down from the walls of the building and, most recently, Gakpo. Twan Scheepers, who worked with Gakpo when he first arrived, knew from early on that he had something a bit special. "Football was his life," he says. "He showed it then when he was around 10-years-old. He was an inspiration not only for the coaches, but also for the players around him. We looked at his skills and attributes and we thought 'OK, he's going to be a good player'. "What made him strong was that every day he worked hard. He wanted to get everything out of his abilities. His strength and his mentality, it's unbelievable. His conviction to be the best player of the team or the best striker, he always wanted to do more. "When he scored two goals, he wanted to score three goals. When he was a little bit down or his progress didn't go the way he wanted, he had the resilience and strength to come back. It's unbelievable." Scheepers is still at PSV and remains close to Gakpo and his family. He's had the privilege of watching him over the last few years at Anfield. "The first year is tough to adapt," he adds. "But he always had the ability to get better and also adapt. Liverpool, for Cody, was a big step. A very big step, but he made it." Thanks, in part, he believes to the confidence that Slot has given him this season; feeling like he really belongs, being settled. It's when he thinks Gakpo is at his best. I ask what he hopes Gakpo can achieve in the next five or so years, having secured his first Premier League title. "Sorry to say this to all the Liverpool fans, I don't know where his level may be or may stop if he stays in this form and stays fit. His mentality can bring him everywhere. To Madrid or Munich, those are the rumours I hear, or if he stays for five years at Liverpool. Whatever he decides, I hope he's happy." The stories linking Gakpo to Bayern Munich have been a constant this summer, but as we head to our final stop of the day, the mural of Gakpo next to the Philips Stadion, you do not get the sense he is in a hurry to move anywhere. "I think if you go somewhere, and I'm very grateful that I can play for Liverpool, which is one of the best clubs in the world, then you are there, the goal is that, as a team, you win trophies and leave a legacy for the teams to come and then, when you play in that team that wins a lot then, you will become an important part of the history of the club. That's what we're all going to fight for." I ask him about what his former coach and friend Scheepers said about him excelling in comfortable and familiar surroundings. "Yes, that's true". With that in mind, how much does he hope to still be around that club for the next few years, to see what they're capable of achieving? "I hope to be around as long as possible, because what Twan said is right. For everybody, when they feel at home in an environment, they are loved by the people in the club, and obviously by the fans, who are amazing at Liverpool. "It gives you more energy and desire to give them something back. We have a team that is still quite young in some positions, and hopefully we can stay together as long as possible and achieve something really beautiful. "For a club like Liverpool, we have to aim very high for the Champions League. That's the highest prize in Europe that we can win - and that's what we will fight for again next year." The next few weeks give Gakpo an opportunity to reset. He is spending time with his brothers and joining their dad in Togo to reconnect with family and friends, giving back to those that have helped him on his journey so far. It has already taken him from Eindhoven to Liverpool and, next summer, Gakpo is looking to dominate beyond on the world stage as part of a Netherlands team looking to lift the World Cup for the first time. "That would be amazing," Gakpo says. "That's also a goal we all fight for. We have a lot of players now who are reaching top teams, and this only gives us more quality and depth in the squad. Hopefully it will bring us very far next summer." With that there is another small group who appear, waiting for a picture with him in front of his mural. Someone else rolls down the car window, shouting how much they love him. One can only imagine what this city would be like if they do achieve that next year.
