All eyes are on the Olympics, but away from the glare in England, a new format tournament threatens to disrupt cricket

Residents on the NSW Central Coast say common sense has prevailed after police withdrew hundreds of $263 fines on residents parking outside their own homes.

Welcome to the Evening Standard's LIVE coverage as the coronavirus crisis continues to heavily impact sport across the globe.

Reel &amp; Motion Pictures and Dushyant Corporation’s <em>The Hundred Bucks</em> (A) is the story of a call girl. Mohini (Kavita Tripathi) is a call girl who solicits clients in an auto rickshaw driven by Abdul (Dinesh Bawra). Abdul needs money to pay the school fees of his child. Mohini promises to give him money for the fees but as luck would have it, she doesn’t find any client for a long time. A lady police inspector first has sex with Mohini but doesn’t pay her anything. After that, an MLA has sex with Mohini but again, for free. Mohini now goes to her lover but there, she kills one of his men when he tries to rape her. She runs away from there. Then, she meets a noble man who takes her for a night out but pays her Rs. 3,000 without seeking her services. Mohini pays Abdul Rs. 1,700 for his child’s fees the next morning. Vishnupriya Singh’s story is asinine. M. Saleem’s screenplay is also stupid and doesn’t add up to much. The drama goes on and on without really arriving at anything. M. Saleem’s dialogues are commonplace. Kavita Tripathi does a fair job as Mohini. Dinesh Bawra lends decent support as Abdul. Zaid Shaikh and the others are ordinary. Dushyant Pratap Singh’s direction is terribly weak. Music (Santokh Singh, Dushyant Pratap Singh and Indrani Bhattacharjee) is weak. Lyrics are barely functional. Yogesh Singh’s camerawork hardly deserves separate mention. Hardik Shaikh’s editing leaves a lot to be desired. On the whole, <em>The Hundred Bucks</em> is a poor show all the way and will, therefore, flop.

EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: The ECB already conduct more drugs tests than any other domestic board, with more than 350 taking place last summer, and even more due to occur this summer.

PAUL NEWMAN: David Warner yesterday became the first big name to pull out of the ECB's new Hundred competition to concentrate on international cricket.

PAUL NEWMAN: It is not without irony that Tom Harrison, the ECB chief executive, spoke of rewarding cricket's 'core audience' if the game can squeeze a truncated season into this summer.

EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: Sky Sports have given their blessing to the ECB postponing The Hundred for 12 months - despite the competition's importance to their £1.1bn television deal.

EXCLUSIVE BY DAVID COVERDALE: The ECB are under pressure to save counties by paying them their full instalments for the Hundred despite the competition's imminent postponement.

COMMENT: The postponement of the controversial new format for at least a year - which will be confirmed on Friday - gives the ECB the opportunity to admit their mistake.

The ECB had initially announced that no cricket would be played in the UK until May 28 at the earliest, but - as expected - the pandemic has caused a further delay.

The Hundred's inaugural season is set to be formally delayed at a board meeting of the England and Wales Board Cricket Board.

EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: The ECB will become the first governing body or league in the country to lose domestic television income as a result of the coronavirus lockdown.

CHARLES SALE - SPORTS AGENDA: The troubled Hundred format on which the England Cricket Board are placing so much importance is facing a critical fortnight.

Ministers have warned lockdown may need to remain for months until the number of new cases falls below 1,000 per day after Professor Chris Whitty said a second peak could be worse than the first. 

The flagship tournament, which the ECB expects can match the global popularity of that of the Indian Premier League and the Big Bash League, could add to the long list of events being put on hold due to the pandemic.

The women’s Twenty20 World Cup in Australia proved a massive success this year with an 86,000-plus crowd watching the hosts beat India in the 8 March final in Melbourne.

A brainchild of the ECB, The Hundred will be 100-balls-per-side format and will be played by eight franchises rather than the established 18 first-class counties.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has cancelled contracts of the players who were due to participate in the inaugural edition of 'The Hundred' which was pushed to next year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The new 100-balls-per-side format, to be played by eight teams in separate men's and women's tournaments, was scheduled to be held between July 17 and August 15 but had to be postponed because of the pandemic.

Kolkata Knight Riders CEO Venky Mysore did not entirely rule out the possibility of the popular IPL franchise "evaluating" investment opportunities in England and Wales Cricket Board's ambitious franchise league 'The Hundred', which had to be shelved this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. British newspaper The Telegraph on Tuesday quoted Mysore saying that they would surely be keen to "explore" investment opportunities in The Hundred.
