(4.3m transfer fee, 5 year contract). Michael Chopra has also moved, to Ipswich from Cardiff.

Yorkshire won against Lancashire in the Roses Derby, and Sussex lost their unbeaten streak to Middlesex. Nottinghamshire lead the North group, with Hampshire in charge in the South group. James Anderson has recovered from injury to take his place in the England squad for the 3rd test against Sri Lanka, replacing Surrey's Jade Dernbach.
Tennis : Andy Murray defeated Andy Roddick in one semi-final at Queens, with fellow Briton James Ward losing to J0-Wilfried Tsonga in the other. The final is due to be played on Sunday, but heavily delayed because of rain. Murray looked in stunning form, therefore meaning he is the favourite to win the championship.
