LAWRENCE BOOTH AT LORD'S: Rumours circulated in St John's Wood on Sunday night that Lord's were planning to rename their honours boards after Gus Atkinson as England won the second Test against Sri Lanka - and the series - with a day to spare. Not content with completing a technically perfect century from No 8 on Friday morning, Atkinson blew away the tourists' resistance on the fourth afternoon to finish with five for 62 and continue a golden first summer in Test cricket that will culminate this week on home turf at the Oval. Throw in the 12 wickets he took here on debut against West Indies in July, and he may soon be claiming copyright on the dressing-room boards that famously celebrate international excellence at the home of cricket.

The former New Zealand sports star appeared in the District Court at New Plymouth on Thursday, where he pleaded guilty to three representative charges of posting an intimate visual recording without consent.

A Quavers crisp packet from almost half a century ago has been dug up accidentally by a man in his back garden. Cenk Albayrak-Touye unearthed the remarkably intact - watertight, with no holes at all - snack in Poole, Dorset, and they are dated October 31, 1975. The 28-year-old also found an old beer bottle but said it was the yellow packaging that first caught his eye, before confirming it was the 'curly potato puffs' after washing it clean. 'I was digging up the garden to re-turf the lawn and started finding all this rubbish,' he said. 'It was like a time capsule. I saw this yellow packet covered in dirt and I hosed it down to find it completely intact. It was like it had been put there yesterday.'
