England captain Ben Stokes and bowler Gus Atkinson "were present at a nightclub in the early hours of Monday when an incident took place", a statement from the ECB said. It continued: "We are currently seeking further information, and an announcement regarding the squad for the second Test will be made in due course. "The Cricket Regulator has been informed and we will provide a further update when possible."

Rugby club Saracens responded to reports linking the incident to a player from the Gallagher Prem side. The Saracens statement read: "We are aware of an incident involving an academy player connected to Saracens on Sunday evening. "The club is currently establishing the full facts and is in contact with the relevant authorities and individuals involved. Once this process is complete, the matter will be reviewed and addressed appropriately. "We will make no further comment at this time." England, playing their first Test since losing the Ashes, had wrapped up a 115-run win over the Black Caps at Lord's on Sunday. Stokes, 35, helped steer his team to victory despite complaining about the standard of the Lord's pitch. Atkinson played a major role in the win - taking five wickets in New Zealand's second innings and seven in the match. England will resume their Test series against New Zealand on 17 June at The Kia Oval in south London.

Artist Talay Riley, whose real name was Mark Orabiyi, died after he was found with stab wounds in Silvertown on Friday, the Metropolitan Police said. The Grammy award-winning songwriter was pronounced dead at the scene. The musician worked with Dua Lipa, Britney Spears, Ellie Goulding and numerous other artists. He has almost 77,000 listeners on Spotify and had toured with Usher and other artists. In a tribute on social media, his brother, artist Scribz Riley, whose real name is Michael Orabiyi, said: "My heart is shattered! This doesn't feel real. It feels like a bad dream. Just before he went to sleep we spoke about the future, staying positive and about everything we still had left to do. I never imagined that would be our last conversation." He added his brother was a "friend to many, a mentor, an inspiration, and a light in so many people's lives". "He loved deeply, gave freely, and touched countless people through his talent, kindness, and spirit," he said. Rapper Stormzy commented on the post: "I'm sorry bro", while singer Kehlani wrote "Big hugs Scribs I'm so sorry" and British rapper Wretch 32 said: "Sending love to you & your family bro. Your brother was a gem & will be missed & never forgotten, Never! RIP." Craig David, Paloma Faith and Oritse Williams also joined in the social media tributes. "Omg I am in shock. I had no idea I worked with him quite a few times and he was such and amazing talent and fun person to be around," Paloma Faith said. In a statement, Orabiyi's family said: "Mark was a beloved son, brother, uncle and friend. He brought love, light and joy to our family and to all who knew him. "We will always cherish his kindness, beautiful spirit and remarkable talent. His presence touched many lives, and his memory will remain in our hearts forever. "May his soul rest in perfect peace." A second man in his 20s, who suffered stab wounds in the incident on Friday, remains in hospital, police said. His condition is not believed to be life-threatening. Three people have been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the incident, the Metropolitan Police said. A 27-year-old man has been released on bail pending further inquiries. A 24-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman were released with no further action after police questioning. The artist received a writing credit for the song Lights On on R&B artists H.E.R's self-titled album, which won a Grammy in 2019.

Alex Davies-Jones, who resigned from government last month, joined a survivors' representative to hand-deliver the letter on Monday afternoon. It also asks Sir Keir Starmer to launch a public inquiry into Epstein's network in the UK The representative, Carly Elizabeth Hamilton, and survivor Lisa Phillips, write that they are "no longer prepared to accept expressions of regret without action". The letter shared exclusively with Sky's political correspondent Ali Fortescue, tells Sir Keir and his chief secretary, Darren Jones: "It is our belief that you do not fully understand the horrific trauma that survivors endured." This is the third time since 27 April that Ms Phillips has written to the prime minister asking for a meeting, although Sky News understands that because she is not a constituent, only the second letter reached him. Today's letter follows Mr Jones's admission to the House of Commons last week that he "at best subconsciously" treated Lord Mandelson, a close friend of deceased financier Epstein, "differently" because he "believed him to have influence and power within the Labour Party". Mr Jones had added: "I'd like to apologise to the House, to the victims, to Lisa, and commit to then doing something about it." Hours later, The Spectator magazine published a message from the Mr Jones to Mandelson on the day that he was sacked as ambassador to the US after fresh revelations about the closeness of his relationship with Epstein, which the peer has previously apologised for and admitted went on for too long. Mr Jones reportedly wrote: "You've been doing such a great job, and you worked wonders with Trump. I'm so sorry about today." Ms Phillips writes in Monday's letter: "For survivors, this is not simply contradictory - it is deeply hurtful and profoundly damaging to trust. "It is devastating because we believe that, at this stage, you knew of Peter Mandelson's close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, yet you were offering him comfort and support, knowing why he was being removed because of that close relationship with his 'best pal'. Again, this is another blow for survivors." She adds: "When powerful political figures receive sympathy, praise and protection while victims continue to fight for recognition, that question [of who will believe us] is answered once again." 'How can survivors have confidence?' Turning to the prime minister, Ms Phillips notes that he has previously accepted responsibility for appointing Lord Mandelson to the senior diplomatic role and apologised for it. But she adds: "If a senior minister acknowledges knowing about many of the stories surrounding Peter Mandelson 'from many, many years ago', and admits that he treated him differently because of his influence and power, how can survivors have confidence that political relationships did not contribute to a culture of silence?" She calls for "action" from Mr Jones and the prime minister in the form of an "immediate public inquiry, meaningful engagement with survivors and a commitment that institutional failures will never again be allowed to silence victims". Survivors of Epstein's abuse say an independent inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2005 should be established, arguing that survivors are seeking accountability and answers about the paedophile's network and those connected to it. Ms Phillips also requests that the prime minister meet with her alongside other Epstein survivor advocates, the former victims minister who delivered the letter to Number 10 today, and representatives from multiple police forces. She says: "Those who come forward deserve more than apologies. They deserve to be heard. They deserve to be believed. They deserve action." Ms Davies-Jones resigned as victims minister last month, and said in parliament last week: "While significant effort appears to have gone into cultivating relationships with influential figures in the tech world, victims were left feeling unheard and overlooked. That is the wrong way round. "I sought to use my position in government to advocate for victims. But when you are forced to fight tooth and nail simply to have those voices heard, something is not working as it should. That is why I took the difficult but necessary decision to resign." She has previously urged the prime minister to meet with Epstein survivors, saying they risk being an "afterthought". Mr Jones and Downing Street have been contacted for comment about the letter delivered earlier today. A government spokesperson previously said: "Our thoughts remain with the victims of Epstein, who have lived with unimaginable trauma, and it is crucial that accountability is delivered." They added: "The Epstein scandal has exposed a culture that didn't value the lives of women. That is why government is deploying the full power of the state to halve violence against women and girls within a decade." Lord Mandelson has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing. He previously apologised for maintaining his relationship with Epstein, which he admitted went on for too long.

In January, ECB chief executive Richard Gould said England players would be subjected to a midnight curfew, among other restrictions, following incidents in New Zealand and during the Ashes last winter. An ECB statement read: "The ECB is currently investigating a breach of team protocols following the conclusion of the first Men's Test against New Zealand. Reset or repeat?

"We are currently seeking further information, and an announcement regarding the squad for the second Test will be made in due course. "The Cricket Regulator has been informed and we will provide a further update when possible." According to The Telegraph, Saracens rugby players were also present. "We are aware of an incident involving an academy player connected to Saracens on Sunday evening," Saracens told Sky Sports News. "The club is currently establishing the full facts and is in contact with the relevant authorities and individuals involved. Once this process is complete, the matter will be reviewed and addressed appropriately. "We will make no further comment at this time." England wrapped up a 115-run win over the Black Caps at Lord's on Sunday in their first Test since their Ashes humiliation. England captain Stokes steered his side to victory, despite expressing frustration over the standard of the Lord's pitch, while Atkinson did much of the damage with second-innings figures of 5-30. 'It is a surprise that Stokes is involved' Geraint Hughes, Sky Sports News correspondent: There will be disappointment because there's a huge amount of scrutiny on the England men's cricket team and the women's team as well because they represent so much to so many as well. A happy medium has to be struck, but there will be disappointment because there have been breeches of acceptable behaviour before and in recent times. Ben Stokes has led England on and off the field, ever since he became captain and before. He actually became captain in April 2022 so it's well over four years. He has been the captain under head coach Brendon McCullum quite a long time as well. He also vowed to turn his life around after he was acquitted in the crown court system in 2018 of affray after a fight near a Bristol nightclub. He was a major, integral part of England winning the World Cup at Lord's in 2019. Who can forget that final against New Zealand? He then became Test captain when Joe Root left that role and for well over four years now he's been in charge and he's set exacting standards on the pitch, but also off the pitch as well. He's been very open about his mental health but also his expected high standards, so 'yes' it is a surprise that Ben Stokes is involved in this breach of team protocols. Is there a drinking culture in the England men's cricket team? In March, ECB managing director Rob Key insisted the England men's team "does not have a drinking problem" following an incident involving Harry Brook in New Zealand and a mid-Ashes trip to Noosa. Brook admitted he was fortunate to keep his England ODI captaincy position after describing his altercation with a nightclub bouncer the night before a one-day international against New Zealand last winter as a "terrible mistake". The 26-year-old was issued with a final warning and fined approximately £30,000. He is the current vice captain of the Test side and would be in line to replace Stokes as captain should he miss any upcoming matches. "I don't think they have a drinking problem," Key said. I don't think it's fair to put everyone into that bracket. I think the majority of those players are unbelievably diligent and will do whatever they can to try and maximise their potential and play as well as they can for England. "Like a lot of teams, there's two or three players that can be irresponsible with alcohol given that opportunity. What we're trying to do is try and find that happy medium. "It's not about drinking so they can get away from the game. Cricket is different to a lot of other sports, especially international cricket when you are away for the entire year, almost. Even if you're playing at home, you're away." Key continued: "The stress, the scrutiny on these multi-format players is tough. So, can we be better? Do we need to keep evolving? I think the game does, to be honest, and that's not a problem I'm going to be able to solve on my own. We need to be able to create opportunities and situations where these players can make the right decisions. "We can take away the temptation, but as I said, it's finding that sweet spot in the middle. Because you go too hard on them, like your kids, then they rebel one way. For the most part, this team, we try to trust them as much as we can and they've made good decisions. "The Harry Brook-Wellington incident clearly hit us hard and no more so than Harry in particular. He's not the first person, he probably won't be the last either to do that, but I'm hoping that will be the making of him. Going back to that decision, a lot of the stuff that I've read and seen, we've spoken about, we debated all of those things. "We believe that Harry Brook made a horrendous mistake, but he came to us - and Harry up to that point had a pretty clean slate. Before any of this Wellington business came about, Harry Brook had committed to English cricket. He had said 'no I don't want to go to the IPL, I'll get banned for three years because I want to do what's best for England cricket and my England cricket career', and I believe that deserves some credit and that's why we made the decision we did."

Around 100 firefighters and 15 fire engines are tackling the blaze at a recycling centre in Bermondsey. The London Fire Brigade (LFB) has declared a major incident. It said firefighters attended the scene after receiving multiple calls reporting the fire around 5.30pm on Monday. Two of its 32m turntable ladders have also been deployed to fight the fire from above. Pictures and footage from the scene showed dark clouds of smoke billowing over nearby buildings. The LFB has urged local residents to keep their windows and doors closed. The fire has caused major disruption to rail services at London Bridge railway station, National Rail said. Southeastern and Thameslink trains going to or through London Bridge may be cancelled or diverted, or only run part of their normal route.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. "Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he's living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around one million people across the UK," the Alzheimer's Society said. The charity said the 78-year-old has decided to speak out in a new documentary which will air on Channel 4 later this month. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer praised Mr Snow as a "true giant in journalism" and said his decision to go public with his diagnosis is "helping others feel less alone and raising awareness of a condition that affects so many families". Michelle Dyson, CEO of Alzheimer's Society, said: "Jon's decision to talk publicly about his dementia diagnosis is a real act of courage and his story will resonate with so many. "His support for Alzheimer's Society will help spark a national conversation about dementia that we so desperately need. "Despite being the UK's biggest killer, dementia is still not treated with the same urgency as other major health conditions like cancer. "Alongside his wife Precious, Jon is shining a light on the need for faster, fairer access to diagnosis. "I would encourage anyone needing help or information to call our Dementia Support Line on 0333 150 3456 or visit alzheimers.org.uk." Read more from Sky News:Anthony Head dies aged 72Two men found guilty of stabbing TV presenter Mr Snow, who gave an exclusive interview to the Daily Mail, revealed he has had the disease since 2023 and that before his diagnosis he was reluctant to see a doctor and had insisted there was nothing wrong. The journalist also revealed he was part of a clinical trial for the condition and has previously spoken about how his mother, Joan, struggled with Alzheimer's in the years leading up to her death. Alzheimer's is the ongoing decline of brain functioning and can affect memory, thinking skills and other mental abilities, according to the NHS. Louisa Compton, head of news, current affairs, specialist factual and sport at Channel 4, said: "It is a profound privilege that we are able to document his last big investigation, in a sensitively made film that frames Jon's current affairs nous alongside a new life lived with Alzheimer's. "We hope this film will go a long way to raise awareness of how to live whilst facing a life-changing diagnosis."

SNP leader Mr Swinney also said he had no knowledge of Murrell and his family reportedly selling their Portuguese villa before the ex-SNP chief executive claimed legal aid during his embezzlement case. Ms Sturgeon has acknowledged that some of the gifts she received from her estranged husband were bought using cash embezzled from party members. Murrell, who embezzled £400,310.65, admitted to using SNP money to pay for goods that included a 9ct gold pendant he bought for Ms Sturgeon. Speaking in Glasgow on Monday, Mr Swinney was asked whether Ms Sturgeon should return any items bought for her with such funds. He said: "There's a process under way involving the Crown, which has made representations to the court about a confiscation order, which will relate to all of these different issues. "So, I think it's best if I leave that to the court to decide on these particular issues, because they will be material to the judgment that's got to be arrived at in response to the claim made by the Crown." Read more:Operation Branchform timeline: The downfall of Peter Murrell Murrell is set to face legal action to recover the money he embezzled from his party - which he ran as chief executive from 2001 to 2023. The 61-year-old used false invoices and fake expenses to bankroll a lavish lifestyle, which included the purchase of a state-of-the-art motorhome. It was reported at the weekend that Murrell and his family sold their jointly-owned villa in Portugal after receiving legal aid. Mr Swinney said he had "no knowledge" of the sale but that legal aid claims were "assessed on the basis of very strict criteria". He added the Scottish Legal Aid Board (SLAB) has said it was satisfied "that the correct judgments have been pursued". Last week, Mr Swinney revealed his party had "opened up discussions" with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) amid concerns Murrell's embezzlement may have led to illegal VAT claims. Opposition parties are also calling for a Holyrood inquiry into the SNP - something not supported by the party. Ms Sturgeon earlier spoke of the "pain" and "bewilderment" she felt after discovering that some of the gifts Murrell gave her had been purchased with money he embezzled, including the £425 gold necklace he bought for her from a shop in Shetland that she was often pictured wearing. "I loved that necklace and I wore it a lot," the former first minister said in an interview. "And this is the other thing, the idea that I would have gone about wearing things that I had known were anything other than what they were presented as, a gift from my husband. "And to then find out that these were gifts given to me that he'd bought with the party's money causes a level of, I don't know, pain, bewilderment... I'm going to try. I am just not sure I will ever properly come to terms with that." Ms Sturgeon said she felt like she was "serving a sentence for a crime I did not commit". A spokesperson for SLAB said: "Unlike civil legal aid, SLAB don't have any specific powers in criminal legal aid to recover (clawback) any assets which may be released to Peter Murrell at the end of the case to offset the legal aid costs. "However, we are considering if there are other legal measures that might be used to safeguard the legal aid fund in this event. "We would work with the Scottish government and the legal profession if it was decided that the current powers in criminal legal aid to recover assets which may be released at the end of a case to offset legal aid costs should be reviewed as part of the reform process."

Inserted after losing the toss, England slumped to 19-3, with captain Nat Sciver-Brunt scoring three on her return to the side after Danni Wyatt-Hodge (4) and Amy Jones (2) were dismissed. England were indebted to Alice Capsey (45 off 36 balls) and Freya Kemp (41 off 27 balls) for salvaging a score of 157-6 from 20 overs, but it proved well short against a stacked Australian batting line-up. Scorecard: England vs Australia, T20I, CardiffStream T20 World Cup matches FREE in Sky Sports AppWatch the Women's T20 World Cup live on Sky Sports and NOW A 51-run first-wicket stand between Beth Mooney (43 off 24) and Georgia Voll, and Ellyse Perry's 64 off 44 moved Australia to the cusp of victory before Tahlia McGrath hit the winning runs with 10 balls to spare. England return to Sophia Gardens to face India in their final T20 World Cup warm-up on Wednesday before kicking off the tournament against Sri Lanka at Edgbaston on Friday, live on Sky Sports. World Cup warm-up defeat for England against Australia England found themselves three wickets down just 25 balls into their innings with the bat after being inserted by Australia. Wyatt-Hodge sparked the top-order collapse when her middle stump was uprooted by Kim Garth in the second over, with England's other opener, Jones, falling in the next when she chipped to McGrath off Megan Schutt. That brought Sciver-Brunt to the crease, but the England captain's comeback would last just seven balls before she was clean bowled by Alana King's first delivery. Capsey and Knight, six days on from their match-winning heroics against India in Taunton, steadied the England ship with a 54-run stand for the fourth wicket. That partnership ended when Knight found the hands of McGrath at backward point while attempting a reverse sweep off King. The big-hitting Freya Kemp proved a more than able deputy alongside Capsey, who fell five runs short of a half-century to a dubious lbw decision off Schutt, the ball striking her pad after she had ventured way down the wicket. Kemp and Dani Gibson ensured Capsey's departure did not derail England, adding fifty for the sixth wicket to help post a respectable total before Kemp fell to Sutherland in the final over. Australia's openers extinguished any hope of an England victory by accumulating a third of the required runs before Voll nicked behind off Lauren Filer's final ball of the powerplay. Capsey followed her heroics with the bat by bowling Mooney, who fell seven runs short of her half-century, but that only spurred Perry on further. More than 50 per cent of Perry's runs came from boundaries as she struck nine fours to move Australia into a winning position that not even the loss of Ash Gardner to Lauren Bell and Grace Harris to Sophie Ecclestone in the space of four balls could derail. Perry was denied the chance to seal victory when she fell to a superb Gibson catch on the boundary, leaving McGrath to scramble a game-clinching two. Sciver-Brunt pleased by fightback with bat England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt: "We didn't have the best of starts with the bat but we had some brilliant partnerships to get us a great score. "That set up a platform for Freya Kemp and Dani Gibson to come in and accelerate towards the end. From where we were, we got a great score. "Alice Capsey seems really clear with what she wants to do and how she wants to go about it. She really committed to her shots. "The rest of us can learn a bit from her - but hopefully she doesn't waste her runs in the warm-up games! It is great to have people in form. "Kemp can be so explosive with the bat and offers that all-round performance. She can affect the game from anywhere." Plenty of positives for Australia Australia captain Sophie Molineux: "It was very pleasing from all three aspects of the game. "The girls did well, there was heaps of energy, a few different combinations with the ball, the spinners got into the game and Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney took the game on with the bat. "There were lots of positives."
