Discuss the day's big stories in the world of sport, send us your favourite links and follow us on Twitter 9.55am: OK, morning meeting update: • Notts County: The club have said this morning that executive chairman, Peter Trembling, is mounting a management buyout. The club claims that Sven-Goran Eriksson is involved in the buyout, but it is not believed that he is central to the plan, nor that he has been involved in any detailed proposal. We'll monitor this throughout. • We'll be following up the Champions League action, with Football Weekly Extra and James Richardson's European paper round-up video. On the pod today: Barry Glendenning, Jonathan Wilson and myself. Feel free to post your questions below. • Stoke's press conference with Tony Pulis should be an interesting one at 2pm this afternoon, for obvious reasons. • Team Sky is due to unveil Bradley Wiggins as team leader at around 11am this morning. William Fotheringham will be blogging after any confirmation. • And also on the blog: Classic YouTube, the Breakdown rugby union weekly email excerpt from Eddie Butler, plus Amy Lawrence's latest weekly European football blog. JD 9.28am: Cook's innings is over, dismissed for 81. He has become the third victim for the left-arm medium-pacer Charl Pietersen, a player who had a pretty uneventful time at Northants three years ago. Now he is proving to be England's chief tormentor. MR 8.50am: While England are looking to build a total in South Africa and we await this morning's planning meeting to discuss the day's stories, take a look at Paul Weaver's article on the South African search for the next Makhaya Ntini. MR 8.39am: But England have not enjoyed the best of starts. Collingwood, in such good form during the recent one-day series, has been dismissed in the second over of the morning. England are now 148 for four and Ian Bell has joined Cook at the crease. MR 8.37am: After rain ended play early yesterday, the second day of England's tour match with the South African Invitation XI in East London has started on time. Alastair Cook and Paul Collingwood are at the crease for the tourists, looking to build on the 51 partnership of yesterday that took them to 142 for three at the close. MR 8.30am: Good morning and welcome to our daily sports news blog. You probably know the drill by now, but if not, the idea is this: throughout the day we will update this page with news, links, and what's expected to happen in the hours ahead. Time permitting, we'll also try to wade in below the line, answering your questions and comments. However we'd like your input as much as possible – please send us your favourite links to stories/clips on YouTube etc and we'll flag up the best above the line.
