Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps.

The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at one of the wickets with the bat and then running between the wickets, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this (by preventing the ball from leaving the field, and getting the ball to either wicket) and dismiss each batter (so they are "out").

Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side either catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground, or hitting a wicket with the ball before a batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket.

When ten batters have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles.

The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee in international matches.

They communicate with two off-field scorers who record the match's statistical information.

The Premier League is the highest level of the English football league system.

Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League (EFL).

Seasons typically run from August to May, with each team playing 38 matches against all other teams, both home and away.

Most games are played on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, with occasional weekday evening fixtures.

Tennis is a racket sport that is played either individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles).

Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court.

The object of the game is to manoeuvre the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return.

The player who is unable to return the ball validly will not gain a point, while the opposite player will.

Horse racing is an equestrian performance sport, typically involving two or more horses ridden by jockeys (or sometimes driven without riders) over a set distance for competition.

It is one of the most ancient of all sports, as its basic premise – to identify which of two or more horses is the fastest over a set course or distance – has been mostly unchanged since at least classical antiquity.
