Kilmarnock are facing a battle to re-sign Will Dennis for next season.

Killie boss Derek McInnes is keen to lure the keeper from Bournemouth for a second loan spell. But the Cherries want Dennis to be part of their goalkeeping squad. The Premier League side released former Motherwell keeper Darren Randolph but Dennis is very much part of their plans.

Rugby Park gaffer McInnes has done the majority of his business early. He has been linked with a loan for Ipswich Town and Scotland Under-21 cap Cieran Slicker, along with rivals Hibs. McInnes also has several goalkeeping options that he is looking at if Bournemouth won’t play ball over Dennis. The hope is that the offer of European football will prove a big draw at Rugby Park after Killie finished fourth in the Scottish Premiership and secured a spot in the Europa League qualifiers for the first time since Steve Clarke guided them to third in 2019.

England captain Harry Kane has said he is feeling as "fit as I have all season" and is "getting fitter with each game" as he responded to criticism of the national team's performances at Euro 2024. Kane's comments come after Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate suggested his players are not fit enough following flat performances against Serbia and Denmark. England are in a strong position to reach the knockout stages, but Southgate has said this week his players have "limitations" and are struggling to play a pressing game and disrupt the opposing team because of their physical condition.

England seal T20 World Cup semi-final spot as Jordan and Buttler punish USA
It may have been a mis-match on the day – a battering to use Harry Brook’s recent phrase of choice – and one that booked England’s place in the semi-finals of the men’s T20 World Cup. Kensington Oval is where Jordan caught the bug as a kid, be it the inter-school finals he played in for Combermere or the international cricket watched; the ground where, aged five, he came to watch his first Test match between West Indies and England in 1994 and was transfixed by the buzz in the stands, the sound of conch shells being blown. As such, even factoring in limited opposition and the greater prevalence of hat-tricks in T20 cricket – just ask Pat Cummins, owner of two already in this tournament – Jordan’s delight upon detonating Saurabh Netravalkar’s middle stump was unbridled.
