Horse racing

Racing got under way on Thursday night in front of a sell-out 10,000 crowd at the new Welsh venue of Ffos Las, the first turf track to open in Britain since Taunton in 1927. The £21 million project has been created by South Wales civil engineering firm The Walters Group, under company chairman and racehorse owner Dai Walters. The venue has been carved out of what used to be the site of the largest opencast mine in Europe until it closed in 1997.

Cricket

Pakistan captain Younus Khan dedicated his team's Twenty20 World Cup semi-final win over South Africa to the long-suffering fans afflicted by militant violence back home. Pakistan did not play a single test last year and last March six Sri Lanka players were wounded by a group of armed militants who fired on the team bus in Lahore. "We know it will give a big lift to everyone back home if we can win this competition," Younus told a news conference. "This World Cup is everything to us."
