England

England's men lost to Canada for the first time at hockey after going down 2-1 at Bisham Abbey in the opening fixture of a four-Test series.
The tourists took a 20th-minute lead from Michael Lee's penalty corner but James Tindall quickly levelled matters.

But Canada hit the winner - their first in 13 attempts against England - eight minutes before half-time when Paul Wettlaufer converted a penalty corner.

The teams play a second unofficial game, also at Bisham, on Monday.

Guildford defender Peter Riley, Surbiton's Matt Lee and Cannock defender and setpiece specialist Simon Ramsden all made their first senior appearances.
