Chris Ashton equalled the all-time Premiership try-scoring record as he touched down twice in Leicester Tigers’ 22-17 win at Exeter Chiefs.

Ashton scored the 91st and 92nd tries of his career, lifting him above Mark Cueto and level with Tom Varndell at the top of the standings.

While England’s cricket team crashed to a painful defeat in the West Indies, Harry Kane scored the winner for the footballers who edged past Switzerland at Wembley.

Max Verstappen clinched victory in a dramatic Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Josh Warrington stopped Kiko Martinez, and Huddersfield Giants survived a Challenge Cup scare.
