Only 66 overs were possible in a rain-affected Intercontinental Cup match between UAE and Scotland that was eventually called off as a draw in Ayr. The teams were awarded seven points each at the end of the game, and UAE registered their first points of the competition.UAE scored 212 runs after being put in to bat, losing five wickets in their innings. Only seven overs were possible on the second day, after 59 were bowled on the opening day. The last two days of the match were abandoned without a ball being bowled.UAE overcame a poor start – they were 33 for 3 in the 10th over – through fifties from Shaiman Anwar and Rameez Shahzad. The pair added 123 runs for the fifth wicket before Anwar was dismissed for 78 off 129 balls. His innings included nine fours. Rameez carried on and was unbeaten on 74 when rain interrupted proceedings on the second day. He hit eight fours and two sixes in his 140-ball vigil.The wickets were split between pacers Alasdair Evans and Josh Davey, who took two apiece, and left-arm spinner Mark Watt, who had figures of 1 for 26.
Tottenham Hotspur could announce the appointment of Feyenoord manager Arne Slot "within days" if an agreement is secured, according to journalist Wayne Veysey.
Who could Spurs appoint as manager?
The Lilywhites are still hunting for Antonio Conte's permanent replacement at N17, coming after they parted company with him around two months ago.
Spurs and Conte split ways after the Premier League side ultimately failed to build upon their top four success last season, not to mention the Italian's scathing post-match rant after a 3-3 draw to Southampton.
Since the former Chelsea manager's departure, a succession of coaches have been linked with the vacancy, but chairman Daniel Levy is thought to have narrowed down his shortlist.
Indeed, reports suggest that the likes of Ruben Amorim of Sporting CP, Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi and Slot are all contending for the role – yet it is the latter man taking centre stage right now.
Feyenoord coachArneSlot
It is believed that the 44-year-old, fresh off the back of his first ever Eredivisie title win, is a serious target for Spurs and Slot is in pole position ahead of other candidates.
Talks have even been held with the former AZ Alkmaar boss, and now reporter Veysey has made a huge claim, writing in a piece for Football Insider.
According to his information, Spurs could announce Slot's appointment "within days" if an agreement is sealed, with negotiations thought to be progressing and at an advanced stage.
The Lilywhites are apparently "confident" of hiring the Dutchman "this week" and he is open to leaving Feyenoord despite his recent success with them.
If all goes to plan, the club could seemingly make serious strides imminently in their hunt for a new manager.
Who is Arne Slot?
While it remains to be seen if Veysey's big claim will come to fruition in the next few days, Slot certainly has his credentials when it comes to the Spurs job.
Not only does he now have a league title on his CV, but the Feyenoord boss also reached a Europa Conference League final last year – unluckily missing out on the trophy to Roma.
Slot has also been revered by Dutch media for his attack-minded and exciting style of play, with journalist Marcel van der Kraan (via talkSPORT) calling him a "maniac" in that regard:
“The best thing about Arne Slot is that he is probably the best attacking coach I have seen in the last 35-40 years at Feyenoord.
“He is very similar to Pep Guardiola, his ideas are very similar, he is a massive fan of Pep and he plays the same time.
“He goes ultra-attacking, he is almost like a maniac. Not on the touchline but it is fantastic to see how he has turned an average side into a wonderful attacking machine."
Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Sporting CP midfielder Manuel Ugarte ahead of a summer move, according to an intriguing update journalist Rob Pratley.
Is Ugarte a transfer target for Chelsea?
The 22-year-old is a wanted man this summer, with a number of top European clubs interested in signing him. He has been a key figure for Sporting all season long, shining in defensive midfield and catching the eye with his tackling ability and maturity beyond his years.
Chelsea are one of the clubs in the conversation when it comes to snapping up Ugarte, but the likes of Paris Saint-Germin and Liverpool have also been linked. The Uruguayan is arguably seen as one of Europe's top young prospects in his position, and while his current Sporting deal doesn't expire until the summer of 2026, he may jump at the opportunity for a fresh challenge at a bigger club.
Sporting CP midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
Has Ugarte agreed personal terms with Chelsea?
Taking to Twitter, Pratley claimed that personal terms have now actually been agreed between Chelsea and Ugarte, acting as a potential boost in their quest to snap him up, although an issue surrounding his termination clause could be a potential problem:
"I understand further to this that Chelsea have reached an agreement with Ugarte and his agent over personal terms. The remaining point is deal structure as CFC reluctant to trigger termination clause in one payment and would prefer a staggered deal."
This is certainly an encouraging update regarding Ugarte, who looks like such a massive talent, having been lauded for his "great timing, anticipation & positioning" and "superb ability to read the game" by football talent scout Jacek Kulig. He is already an eight-cap Uruguay international, and it would be a big surprise if he didn't significantly add to that tally as his career progresses.
The £16,000-a-week midfielder averaged 4.8 tackles and 2.2 interceptions per game in the Champions League in 2022/23, showing what a tenacious presence he is out of possession. That could be perfect in a Chelsea midfield that needs an injection of youth in it, considering N'Golo Kante is now 32 years of age, and Mateo Kovacic is 29.
The biggest issue could be if Ugarte wants to be playing European football next season – something that PSG could guarantee, for example, among other clubs – with Chelsea's dreadful performance in the Premier League meaning that they will only have domestic action to focus on in 2023/24.
A career-best unbeaten 79 from Harvey Hosein rescued Derbyshire on the opening day of the Division Two match against Leicestershire at Derby

A career-best unbeaten 79 from Harvey Hosein rescued Derbyshire on the opening day of the Division Two match against Leicestershire at Derby.The home side had slipped to 151 for 5, despite a half century from Alex Hughes, with Charlie Shreck taking three wickets but Hosein took advantage of a bad miss by Rob Sayer to steer his side to a respectable 282 for 8 when bad light ended play early.Derbyshire were trying to avoid becoming the first team in the county’s history since 1924 to go through a season without winning a Championship game but they started badly after Leicestershire decided to bowl first.There was certainly some early movement for Clint McKay who nipped one back to trap Billy Godleman in front in the seventh over of the morning and he should have had Ben Slater in his next over but Richard Jones spilled a simple catch at point.It was not an expensive miss because Slater completely mistimed a drive at Shreck’s first ball and chipped a gently catch to mid-off but that was Leicestershire’s last success before lunch as Hughes and Wayne Madsen played carefully to put the innings back on track.Madsen had bagged a pair in the previous game but he was looking set when Jones moved one away just enough to draw him into playing and give Ned Eckersley his first of four catches.Hughes was less convinced he got a touch against Shreck three overs later and he had Neil Broom taken at first slip in his next over to leave Derbyshire facing another first innings failure.Tom Wood was stuck on 8 for 40 balls on his first-class debut before Neil Dexter bowled the 22-year-old but Hosein played positively from the start although he should have been dismissed on 32 but Sayer fumbled a straight-forward return catch.With help from Tom Milnes and Tony Palladino, Hosein guided Derbyshire to a second batting point as Leicestershire began to unravel in the closing stages of the day.Hosein was given another life on 78 when he drove at McKay and Harry Dearden on his senior debut dropped the catch at second slip before the umpires decided that even with the floodlights on, the light was not good enough for play to continue shortly before 5pm.

With the summer transfer window on the horizon, Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing a summer swoop for Aston Villa hotshot, Ollie Watkins, amid the uncertainty surrounding Harry Kane's future at the club.
According to reports in Spain late last week, the Villa marksman has been identified as a possible replacement for his England colleague at N17, with Kane having been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid of late with just 12 months left to run on his existing deal.
This latest piece suggests that the Lilywhites have shown an 'interest' in snapping up Watkins as a result, albeit with Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester United also said to be monitoring the 27-year-old ahead of the summer transfer window.
While the report goes on to add that the former Brentford striker has a market value of around €32m (£28m), there have been previous suggestions that the seven-cap ace is worth closer to £70m, having been in talk over a new deal at Villa Park.
That may appear a sizeable outlay for Daniel Levy and co, although Watkins could well be a perfect striking solution for Spurs next season…
Should Tottenham sign Watkins?
The one-time Exeter City man has certainly emerged as an attractive target having enjoyed a stellar end to the 2022/23 campaign, the £75k-per-week machine ending the season with a respectable haul of 15 league goals – taking his total tally in the competition to 40 goals across the last three seasons.
That fine record from the "lethal" goalscorer – as praised by pundit Trevor Sinclair – has seemingly caught the attention of those in north London, with it no surprise that Watkins is being lined up amid the rampant speculation surrounding the future of Kane.
The addition of the Villa man could also be a perfect match for prospective new boss, Ange Postecoglou, with the Greek-Aussie looking all but certain to be named as the next permanent manager at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Celtic's Kyogo Furuhashi
While the 57-year-old is not yet in the door, there have been claims that the Celtic coach is keen to bring prolific forward, Kyogo Furuhashi with him from Parkhead, with the Japanese international having ended the recent campaign with 34 goals to his name in all competitions.
With Watkins offering the benefit of having already shown his class in the Premier League, the Englishman could well prove to be a dream alternative to the current Hoops star, thus allowing Postecoglou to find his next talisman in the process.
Aside from knowing where the back of the net is, the two men are also alike due to their impressive movement when leading the line, with Postecoglou previously hailing Kyogo as the "best" he has ever seen with regard to that trait.
Watkins is also adept at being able to stretch a defence, with the Torquay native – who has been studying the likes of Edinson Cavani in order to improve that side of his game – having been lauded by journalist Josh Bunting, who stated:
"His movement opens up the centre-backs and it allows him to make those direct runs in between."
The comparison between the pair can also be made due to their quality off the ball, with Watkins described as "selfless in terms of what his work rate is" by ex-Villans boss Dean Smith, while Kyogo has also been described as someone who "hounds defences" by former Bhoys ace, John Collins.
With the latter man having played an integral role in steering Postecoglou's men to treble glory this season – after finishing as the leading scorer for the Old Firm giants – perhaps Watkins can emulate that feat and become the Greek-Aussie's new leading man at Spurs.
Nic Maddinson produced a mature and patient innings to steer New South Wales into the Matador Cup final on an evening when history was made by the use of cricket’s first concussion substitute

Nic Maddinson produced a mature and patient innings to steer New South Wales into the Matador Cup final on an evening when history was made by the use of cricket’s first concussion substitute. Set 243 for victory against Victoria, the Blues were only five runs from their target when heavy rain forced play to be called off, their winning margin thus ending up as 31 runs via Duckworth-Lewis.The chase had started well for New South Wales, whose openers Daniel Hughes and Ed Cowan put on 38 before Hughes was struck on the helmet when he tried to pull a bouncer from Peter Siddle. Hughes was accompanied from the field by Dr John Orchard and after undergoing concussion tests, he was ruled out of the match and New South Wales activated their concussion substitute.Under Cricket Australia’s playing conditions this summer, a concussion substitute is available in men’s and women’s domestic one-day and T20 games, but not in Sheffield Shield games after the ICC rejected the idea for first-class cricket. Once a concussed player has been ruled out the team can make a “like-for-like” replacement, and the substitute can bat, bowl and field as if he started in the XI.New South Wales named Nick Larkin as the mid-match replacement for Hughes, and Larkin was just walking to the crease to begin what would have been a historic innings when the rain arrived at Drummoyne Oval and play was called off. The Blues had just lost 3 for 2 in ten deliveries to give Victoria the faintest sliver of hope, but the weather had the final say.Cowan made 64 from 87 deliveries before he was caught behind off the gloves trying to hook Scott Boland, but Moises Henriques then joined Maddinson for a 46-run stand. Henriques was bowled by Jon Holland for 27 and Kurtis Patterson added 28 before he chopped on off the bowling of Siddle to begin the late mini-collapse.But Maddinson and his batting colleagues had done enough to book a place in Sunday’s final with Queensland. Maddinson played a restrained innings by his standards, striking just four fours and two sixes on his way to 86 from 98 deliveries, turning the strike over and ensuring New South Wales did not falter in their chase.Maddinson eventually fell, bowled by Glenn Maxwell as the rain started, and four balls later Maxwell trapped Ryan Carters lbw for a duck, which would have brought Larkin to the crease. But New South Wales were saved from having to find the final five runs – and from any potential further wobbles – by the rain.Earlier, Henriques had won the toss and sent Victoria in to bat, and Pat Cummins began well by bowling Cameron White for 4. But Aaron Finch was in ominous form, striking seven fours and two sixes on his way to 51 from 36 deliveries when Doug Bollinger made the key breakthrough, bowling Finch and preventing a possible blowout.Victoria had contributions from Daniel Christian (38), Maxwell (38) and Matthew Wade (41), but did not quite manage to bat out their overs as they were dismissed for 242 in the 50th over. Cummins finished with 3 for 46, while Bollinger and Trent Copeland each claimed two wickets, but the Man of the Match was Josh Hazlewood for his miserly 10-over spell of 2 for 35.The Victorians were without fast bowler John Hastings, who has been sidelined for four to six weeks after breaking his left index finger during catching practice on Thursday.
Christian Pulisic has dropped a potential big hint on Instagram which suggests he could be moving to AC Milan this summer amid reports that he will leave Chelsea.
What's the latest on Christian Pulisic and AC Milan?
The USMNT star didn't really enjoy a particularly good season last campaign as he started just five Premier League matches across the entire campaign – scoring only one goal.
What's more, the Blues will be looking to offload a number of stars this summer with new boss Mauricio Pochettino reportedly set to press ahead with a major clearout. Indeed, 12 players could be sold in order to keep in line with Financial Fair Play rules.
As per the Evening Standard, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Edouard Mendy, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Hakim Ziyech, Mateo Kovacic, Marc Cucurella and Kai Havertz have all been touted as potential departures.
Alongside them, Pulisic is also expected to leave with Relevo's Matteo Moretto recently noting AC Milan could be his next destination.
Amid all this speculation, the 24-year-old has perhaps toyed with his fans when sharing a recent Instagram post. The winger is away with the USMNT and notably opted to include red and black dots in his wordless Instagram caption.
When does the 2023 summer transfer window open?
Of course, you can argue that these colours do match the training kit that he's wearing in the photo – which is predominantly black with the USA badge and Nike sponsor in red.
But the emojis posted aren't the usual red, white and blue you would associate with that country and their football team, so he may well have been dropping a bit of a hint about the next step in his career.
If that was indeed a deliberate post, then it does suggest he could be set for an imminent departure, already knowing what club he'll be joining despite the summer transfer window not actually opening until June 14.
His current contract runs until 2024 and so now would be the best time to move on if Chelsea want to bring in some funds with a sale, while also getting his £150k-p/w salary off their wage bill.
All in all, it really does feel as though the American attacker could be on his way to Serie A with AC Milan very soon.
