8:37am: Football. Tottenham suffered a fright before sneaking past Inter Milan to reach the Europa League quarter-finals and restore some national pride following England’s Champions League misery.
With Manchester United and Arsenal beaten at the last 16 stage of Europe’s premier club competition, it was left to the Europa League participants to maintain English interest in European football this season.
Spurs lost 4-1 on Thursday night, but went through on away goals thanks to last week’s 3-0 success at White Hart Lane. Without the suspended Gareth Bale, Spurs made hard work of progressing and needed extra-time to do so after trailing 3-0 when the 90 minutes were up.
Internazionale 4 (Antonio Cassano 20, Rodrigo Palacio 52, William Gallas 75 og, Ricky Alvarez 110) bt Tottenham Hotspur 1 (Emmanuel Adebayor 96) at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

8:34am Chris Barrett: Cricket. Shane Watson could be back in India for next week's fourth Test after his wife gave birth to their first child on Thursday.
The vice-captain's controversial suspension from the third Test proved to be a blessing in disguise, allowing him to be home in time to be at his wife Lee's side as she delivered a baby boy they named Will in a Sydney hospital.
