Lancashire pair Liam Livingstone and Haseem Hameed made hundreds but it was not enough to avoid an ultimately tame draw with Warwickshire at Old Trafford.

Having led by 215 overnight, Hameed, who resumed on 81, reached his maiden first-class century (103) as the hosts batted on until just before lunch.
The defiant Livingstone was still there on 106 when Lancs declared on 266-8.
But, set 312 to win on a spinner's wicket, the Bears made no attempt to go for the runs as they finished on 195-2.
Ian Bell and his former England team-mate Jonathan Trott saw out time in an unbroken 111-run third-wicket stand before hands were shaken at 17:30 BST.
After the loss of fellow opener Andy Umeed, caught behind, Varun Chopra made 48 before failing to read Matt Parkinson's top-spinner.
But he proved the only victim for the teenage leg-spinner, who sent down 30 overs but could not match his first-innings heroics when he took 5-49.
Bell's unbeaten 55 was the third time he has passed 50 in eight Championship innings for the Bears this season - but his first half-century in two months in first-class cricket.
The morning session belonged to Hameed, who took 291 balls to reach three figures for the first time, and Livingstone, who faced just 115 balls for his ton.
Having got there with a six over long-on and a straight-driven four off Rikki Clarke, Livingstone now averages 97.2 in first-class cricket this season.
The draw keeps Lancashire top, as third-placed Durham's home game with second-placed Yorkshire ended in a draw.
Lancashire director of cricket Ashley Giles told BBC Radio Manchester:
"It was a really good game of cricket and a good test for us against a very good Warwickshire team. Again we've shown that we are not here to be pushed about by some of the big teams.
"Most importantly our youngsters have come through again and produced big performances. We have a core of players who could be around for a decade or more and that's a really good position for this club to be in.
"We had Matt Parkinson bowling like that on his debut, Haseem Hameed scoring his first hundred and Liam Livingstone scoring a run-a-ball hundred.
"Haseem is going to be a star, I'm sure. Some of Livingstone's strokeplay is just different. He's a modern player who hits the ball very cleanly and has very quick hands. And the most impressive thing about Matt Parkinson was his composure. He spins the ball. He has variations and today he bowled at two of the best players in the country."
Warwickshire captain Ian Bell told BBC WM:
"It was a really good few days of cricket. It very hard, really scrappy cricket.
"The wicket was not particularly easy for any batter who wanted to get in and play fluently and score at a good rate and then it spun later on.
"We're really happy with the way it went. It ebbed and flowed.
"We had opportunities and Lancashire had a couple of key partnerships that got them back on track."


The preferred candidate to be the new Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police has been named by the region's Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).

Stephen Watson, currently the Deputy Chief Constable of Durham Constabulary, has been selected as the man to replace outgoing police chief David Crompton.
Mr Crompton was suspended following the Hillsborough Inquests and proceeding to dismiss him from service are under way.
PCC Dr Alan Billings said Mr Watson would be appointed in November.
Dr Billings said: "South Yorkshire Police is one of the most high profile forces in the country at the present time and I am confident that, subject to Police and Crime Panel approval, we have selected a chief constable who will be able to lead the force through transformational change as we continue to restore trust and confidence with our public, partners and staff.
"Mr Watson impressed us all with his experience, energy, drive and leadership qualities."
Mr Watson, who began his police career at Lancashire Constabulary in 1988, was one of three candidates interviewed for the job.
He said he was "delighted" to be selected and is "looking forward to taking up the role".
He said: "I fully recognise the difficulties that the force has faced in recent times and I am committed to leading the organisation through times of change."
Mr Watson has previously worked at Merseyside Police as Chief Superintendent and the Metropolitan Police as Commander for the East Area. He joined Durham Constabulary in 2015.
Prior to his suspension, Mr Crompton had intended to step down in November after four years in the post and 31 years in policing.


Cricket South Africa is planning to launch a new Twenty20 league to be played in late 2017.

The country's current T20 Challenge series consists of six teams but the new T20 Global League would be made up of eight city-based franchises.
"We are confident the window we have chosen will make it possible to attract top-class players," said CSA chief executive Haroon Lorgat.
CSA informed the International Cricket Council of its plans this week.
A worldwide tender has been put out by CSA and the deadline for expressions of interest is Friday, 3 March.
"Our vision is to drive the creation of a new T20 destination league  that would energise the sport of cricket in South Africa by creating a global platform for the best-in-class to perform and showcase their talent to a global audience," said CSA president Chris Nenzani.
"We have received a very favourable response to our plans from the ICC and member boards and look to their support."


Street cleaners threw away yarn bombed knitwear installed for an arts trail leaving just the display tags explaining what it was for.

The clothing was put on Beeston's Beeman statue on Thursday evening for the I Love Beeston Arts Trail but was gone less than 12 hours later.
The Nottinghamshire knitters said they were heartbroken. The council said it was a genuine mistake and apologised.
Organisers called for more "guerrilla knitters" to create new clothes.
The arts trail event was organised by Beeston Business Improvement District, a group established to promote local companies.
Becky Kennedy, one of the knitters, created 24 bees and said it took weeks of planning and knitting.
"It's just so heartbreaking. It wasn't even up 12 hours. While we were doing it, there were a lot of passersby and everyone was really into it, taking selfies and commenting.
"It's just a bit odd that they cleared away the colourful knitting, but left the tags which explained what it was all about.
"There has been a great response on social media. It has inadvertently brought people together."
A spokesman for the council said it was a genuine mistake and the cleaners did not know about the art trail.
"The council wishes to offer its sincere apologies to the organisers of the Beeston Arts Trail for this error and any distress caused to those who spent time making the items," she added.


Lionel Messi is free to represent Argentina in their World Cup qualifiers after his four-match international ban was overturned on appeal.

The 29-year-old Barcelona forward was suspended for directing "insulting words" at an assistant referee during a 1-0 win over Chile in March.
He missed one match - Argentina's 2-0 World Cup qualifying loss to Bolivia.
A Fifa appeal committee said while his behaviour was "reproachable", the evidence was not sufficient.
He will now be available for matches against Uruguay, Venezuela and Peru as Argentina fight to secure a place at next summer's World Cup finals in Russia.
A fine of 10,000 Swiss francs (£7,800) was also lifted.
During the Chile game, Messi was caught on camera venting his anger at an assistant who signalled he had committed a foul.
He was not shown a card at the time.
The Fifa appeal committee concluded "the evidence available was not sufficient to establish" an infringement had occurred.
"The appeal committee nevertheless underlines the importance of always showing respect to the match officials, stressing that such a principle is essential in football and any unsporting conduct that may be contrary to the principles of fair play cannot be accepted," it said in a statement.
Messi had faced missing Argentina's next three qualifiers, but will now be available for all four of their remaining matches.
Argentina are fifth in their group of 10, with the top four qualifying automatically and the fifth team going into a play-off.
31 August -  Uruguay (A)
5 September - Venezuela (H)
5 October - Peru (H)
10 October - Ecuador (A)


A former teacher at a boys' preparatory school who was caught with thousands of indecent images of children has been given a suspended jail term.

Anthony Fuggle was sentenced to four months, suspended for two years, at Kingston Crown Court, south London.
Fuggle, 58, admitted six counts of possessing indecent images of children.
The ex-classics master at Colet Court, in Barnes, also admitted seven charges of making indecent images of children on or before 10 September 2013.
He was found to be in possession of more than 1,000 still and moving images of children, the court heard.
Colet Court is a junior division of St Paul's Preparatory School. Alumni include Chancellor George Osborne.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: "There was no evidence to suggest that any of the children in the pictures were students at St Paul's or Colet Court."
Fuggle, from Sutton, south London, is understood to have resigned from his post at the school after he was arrested in September 2013.
Investigations revealed the teacher had downloaded almost 2,000 images of children, some of whom were as young as 12.
Four counts of making images of the most severe level, Category A, were left to lie on file after he pleaded not guilty to them.
Jane Humphryes QC told the court Fuggle had been seeking help and was attending weekly therapy sessions.
Fuggle was the first person to be charged under the Metropolitan Police's Operation Winthorpe.
It was set up to investigate allegations of historical sexual abuse and misconduct at St Paul's and Colet Court.


The latest software update for iPhone 6 handsets is rendering the devices useless if it detects repairs not carried out by Apple.

The problem is known as "error 53" and has appeared in Apple products before.
The Guardian reports that users' phones were disabled after the Touch ID home button was repaired by a non-Apple engineer.
Apple has confirmed that the error message is a "security measure" taken to prevent fraudulent transactions.
"We take customer security very seriously and error 53 is the result of security checks designed to protect our customers. iOS checks that the Touch ID sensor in your iPhone or iPad correctly matches your device's other components," it said in a statement.
"If iOS finds a mismatch, the check fails and Touch ID, including for Apple Pay use, is disabled. This security measure is necessary to protect your device and prevent a fraudulent Touch ID sensor from being used.
"If a customer encounters error 53, we encourage them to contact Apple Support."
In its report, the Guardian cites the experiences of a freelance photographer, Antonio Olmos, who says the problem occurred on his phone after he upgraded its software.
"When Olmos, who says he has spent thousands of pounds on Apple products over the years, took it to an Apple store in London, staff told him there was nothing they could do, and that his phone was now junk," the paper reported.
Many iPhone 6 customers have been discussing error 53 online.
At Apple's discussion forums, one user named wallihall wrote: "With this update I'm unable to use the phone, and still have to pay for the phone itself.
"I did get the front screen replaced, and I understand that it's now considered "tampered with", but at least let me use my iPhone on the old IOS system... I can't retrieve old photos or important documents I once had."
Apple told the paper that iPhone software checks whether any repairs were authorised by Apple.
A spokeswoman said: "When an iPhone is serviced by an unauthorised repair provider, faulty screens or other invalid components that affect the touch ID sensor could cause the check to fail if the pairing cannot be validated."


The driver who was behind the wheel of the bin lorry that crashed in Glasgow has been suspended by his employer.

Glasgow City Council confirmed Harry Clarke had been suspended following evidence at the ongoing inquiry into the tragedy, which killed six people.
The inquiry has heard Mr Clarke, 58, previously fainted while working as a bus driver but failed to disclose the incident when he joined the council.
It has also heard a claim Mr Clarke "lied through his teeth" to doctors.
A spokesman for the council confirmed that it had suspended Mr Clarke on a precautionary basis pending a full disciplinary investigation.
He added: "A number of allegations have been made during the enquiry in regard to Mr Clarke's conduct before and at the point where he commenced employment with the council.
"These allegations have yet to be put to Mr Clarke and he has not yet had the opportunity of responding to them. The internal investigation will therefore take place at the conclusion of the fatal accident inquiry".
The fatal accident inquiry (FAI) at Glasgow Sheriff Court has previously heard evidence that Mr Clarke had suffered episodes of dizziness and fainting for decades before the fatal crash on 22 December, when several witnesses reported seeing him slumped behind the wheel on the bin lorry as it went out of control in the city centre.
But he failed to disclose his health history to the DVLA and on job application forms, and was said to have continued to deny any history of blackouts even after the bin lorry crash.
In April 2010 - shortly before he joined the council - Mr Clarke fainted on a stationary bus while working as a driver for First Bus.
The FAI has heard claims that Mr Clarke was "on his last legs" at the bus firm following repeated sick days prior to his blackout.
Paramedics examined him on the bus and he refused to accompany them to hospital, instead returning to the depot where he informed his managers about the blackout.
He visited Baillieston Health Centre and told his GP, Dr Gerard McKaig, that he fainted "at work, in canteen, hot environment, no warning signs".
Later, he visited a second GP, Dr John Langan, and repeated his claim that he fainted in the work canteen but then told him he had felt light-headed beforehand.
However, two letters from First's medical officer Dr Kenneth Lyons indicated that Mr Clarke fainted on a stationary bus.
DVLA guidelines to GPs state that people who have fainted may be fit to return to the wheel if there was provocational factors, such as a hot environment, prodromal features such as light headedness, and if a faint "is unlikely to occur while sitting or lying".
Dr Langan later wrote to First Bus diagnosing the blackout as a "simple" faint which did not require Mr Clarke to give up driving.
The GP said he would have looked at Mr Clarke's medical history over the past five years before making his diagnosis.
He said "nothing jumped out at me at the time" to merit diagnosing a more serious condition.
During Thursday's evidence, Ronald Conway, the solicitor advocate acting for the family of bin lorry crash victim Stephenie Tait, put it to Dr Langan: "Mr Clarke has lied through his teeth to you and Dr McKaig and one of the reasons he has got away with it is because you failed to properly interrogate and tease out the details of the incident at your encounter with him."
Dr Langan replied: "If a patient misled me or lied to me, that's not something I usually expect to happen."
The Crown Office has already said  there will be no criminal prosecution over the crash, with senior lawyers deeming it a "tragic accident".
Erin McQuade, 18, her grandparents Jack Sweeney, 68, and his 69-year-old wife Lorraine, all from Dumbarton, died in the incident in the city's Queen Street and George Square.
Stephenie Tait, 29, and Jacqueline Morton, 51, both from Glasgow, and Gillian Ewing, 52, from Edinburgh, were also killed when the truck mounted the pavement before crashing into the side of the Millennium Hotel.
A further 15 people were injured.


A third Tyrone councillor has quit the SDLP over the party's internal differences.

Joanne Donnelly, from Omagh, said she would back Josephine Deehan and Patsy Kelly, who left the party last week.
They will contest the assembly election in West Tyrone as independent social democrats.
In a statement released last Tuesday, Ms Deehan and Mr Kelly said supporters felt the party was "out of touch".
Councillor Donnelly said the decision to leave the party "broke her heart", but there was a culture which needed to change.
The resignations are seen as the first test of Mr Eastwood's leadership.
"These issues are difficult. We're a democratic party, we've had two selection conventions - one to replace Joe Byrne as an MLA, the other to decide who our candidate was going to be," Mr Eastwood said.
"We'd one person put their name forward - that was Daniel McCrosssan. He got unanimous support from the party membership, unanimous support.
"If people wanted to put their name forward, they should have put their name forward."


The sister-in-law of a teenage girl who was beaten to death in the family home collapsed in the dock when a jury convicted her of murder.

Shahena Uddin, 19,  was subjected to a "regime of fear" at the hands of Salma Begum, St Albans Crown Court heard.
Ambulance staff called to the family home in Leavesden Road, Watford, on 11 October last year found her body in the bathroom.
Mr Justice Spencer adjourned sentence until Monday.
But he told the jury Begum would receive a mandatory life sentence and he would have to decide the minimum term she should serve.
The jury cleared Ms Uddin's oldest brother Suhail Uddin, 35, of murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter.
He and three other brothers, Jewell, 27, Jhuhal, 33 and Tohel Uddin, 24, along with Ms Uddin's older sister Rehena Uddin, 22, were found guilty of causing or allowing the death of a vulnerable adult.
All five and Begum were found guilty of conspiracy to pervert the course of public justice by attempting to impede the police investigation.
At the end of the prosecution case, Mr Justice Spencer ruled that Laila Begum, 25, the wife of Jhuhal Uddin, had no case to answer on charges of causing or allowing the death of a vulnerable adult and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
The prosecution said Ms Uddin was beaten to death at the family house during the night of 10-11 October.
Paramedics found Ms Uddin's body, bearing the marks of a severe beating, at her home where she was frequently beaten.
Pathologist Dr Robert Chapman, who carried out a post-mortem examination, said her head was covered in bruising, her lips cut and her eyes black and swollen.
He found bruising to her shoulders and legs and strike marks across her right breast, and it appeared a "rod-like" object had been used to strike her.
He concluded she choked on her own vomit after becoming unconscious.
Begum, the only defendant to give evidence in court, claimed Ms Uddin had died because she was sick and had hit her head on a toilet.


Eurotunnel passengers have faced fresh delays after "migrant activity" led to extra security measures in France.

The firm said there were waiting times of up to three and a half hours at the terminal in Folkestone and an hour in Calais.
It tweeted the delays were "due to increased security measures" and said it was working hard to minimise them.
On Thursday, a teenager thought to be from east Africa was killed by freight train near the tunnel in Calais.
The boy is the 11th person to have died in or near the tunnel while trying to reach Britain, since late June.
In a statement, Eurotunnel said: "There is a waiting time of approximately three and a half hours on the terminal.
"We regret that we are currently unable to sell tickets to non-reserved customers.
"We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause to your journey."
The rail operator also tweeted earlier that services had been affected by a power problem on the national French network but issues were later resolved.
It said security systems would be checked within the Channel Tunnel before any trains were allowed to enter.
There has been a fall in intrusion attempts at Eurotunnel's terminal in Calais after extra security measures were introduced in Europe.
The situation in Calais is part of a wider crisis across Europe, with migrants and refugees heading north from the Mediterranean.


The operation of the Tyne and Wear Metro has been returned to the public body Nexus.

German company DB Regio took over running the system from Nexus in 2010 but has consistently failed to hit punctuality targets.
The firm has been penalised by Â£4.4m over the seven years and its contract has not been renewed. It has been approached for comment.
However, Nexus managing director Tobyn Hughes said the service was improving.
"Although it has undoubtedly had one or two moments of difficulty, generally the contract has gone well," he said.
"Every day around 450 trains operate on the system, carrying around 130,000 people and day in, day out this system continues to perform."
The network has seen an increasing number of complaints about poor service and low levels of customer satisfaction.
Metro's Public Transport Users group welcomed the return of Nexus, but said the existing 40-year-old trains needed to be replaced with a new fleet.
Nexus is bidding for Â£550m from the government to improve the system.


Air pollution is causing around 467,000 premature deaths in Europe every year, the European Environment Agency (EEA) has warned.

People in urban areas are especially at risk, with around 85% exposed to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) at levels deemed harmful by the World Health Organization (WHO).
These particles are too small to see or smell, but have a devastating impact.
PM2.5 can cause or aggravate heart disease, asthma and lung cancer.
It's pretty bad. Within the European Union (EU), more than 430,000 people died prematurely due to PM2.5 in 2013, the most recent year with figures available.
According to the EEA's Air quality in Europe - 2016 report, the toxic gas nitrogen dioxide (NO2) - released by vehicles and central heating boilers - has an impact equivalent to 71,000 premature deaths a year.
Ground-level ozone (O3) is also killing people - an estimated 17,000 annually in the EU.
Unlike the protective ozone layer in the stratosphere, ground-level ozone is harmful, formed when emissions like NO2 react with other pollutants and "cook" in heat or sunlight.
The European countries with the worst levels of PM2.5 are Bulgaria, Poland and the Czech Republic.
Nations like Poland where coal is a major source of electricity production tend to rank at the bottom of air quality measures, according to the EEA.
In 2013, Bulgaria provided four of the five worst European cities for high particulate matter. Costs to ill-health from coal power plants in the country are estimated to be up to €4.6bn ($4.8bn; £3.9bn) per year.
In the UK, air pollution overall costs the economy more than £20bn per year - just under 16% of the NHS's annual £116bn budget.
Technically, European air quality actually improved between 2000 and 2014. Levels of PM10 - another tiny pollutant particle - fell in 75% of the EEA's monitored locations.
PM2.5 concentrations also dropped on average between 2006 and 2014.
But EEA executive director Hans Bruyninckx says "unacceptable damage to human health and the environment" is still rife.
Outdoor air pollution contributes to about 40,000 early deaths a year in the UK, according to the Royal Colleges of Physicians and of Paediatrics and Child Health.
Statues dressed with gas masks for pollution protest
City trees 'can boost air quality'
Pollution particles 'get into brain'
PM particles may contain smoke, dust, soot, metals, nitrates, sulphates, water and rubber from tyres.
They can get deep into your lungs, causing irritation and inflammation, and some may make it into your bloodstream.
Heart disease and lung conditions are most commonly linked to inhaling air pollution, but your liver, spleen, central nervous system, brain, and even reproductive system can also be damaged.
PM2.5 and PM10 can increase susceptibility to viral and bacterial pathogens, triggering pneumonia in vulnerable people.
Children are most susceptible to illness from air pollution. A major study conducted over six years found that children living in highly polluted parts of cities have up to 10% less lung capacity than normal, and the damage can be permanent.
Probably not. According to WHO data released two months ago, nine out of 10 people on the planet now breathe polluted air.
Europe is less affected by indoor air pollution, which the WHO cites as a major killer in large parts of Africa and south Asia.
Around three billion people still cook and heat their homes using solid fuels like wood or animal dung on open fires, and 4.3 million a year die prematurely from illness attributable to the resulting "household air pollution" - mostly from strokes, heart disease or lung deficiencies.
Country-by-country data showed that Turkmenistan has the highest death rate connected to outdoor air pollution.
Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Egypt rounded out the top five.
"Rich countries are getting much better in improving the quality of the air," Dr Carlos Dora from the WHO told the Associated Press.
"Poorer countries are getting worse. That is the overall trend."
Europe is lagging behind North America, however, mostly because it depends more on diesel fuel and farming practices that create ammonia and methane.
China, the country with the sixth-highest death rate linked to air pollution, is relatively wealthy, but is plagued by smog in its cities and polluted air from industrial sources.
India has generated the most troubling smog headlines in recent months. Smoke from fireworks set off during Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights, sent Delhi's PM2.5 levels soaring to more than 90 times the level considered safe by the WHO.
Toxic air is a leading cause of premature death in India, where 620,000 people perish every year from pollution-related diseases.


Watford and Middlesbrough played out an uninspiring goalless draw as Hornets fans paid tribute to former manager Graham Taylor, who died earlier this week.

After a first half that only had three shots - the lowest in any match in the Premier League this season - Watford created the best chances in the second period.
On-loan substitute Tom Cleverley hit the post late on, Etienne Capoue shot over and Abdoulaye Doucoure headed wide on an emotional afternoon at Vicarage Road.
Middlesbrough's best chance fell to debutant Rudy Gestede, but he shot narrowly over.
The result means Watford remain 14th, with Middlesbrough in 16th position, four points above the relegation zone.
Former England manager Taylor died on Thursday, aged 72, and fans paid their respects to the man regarded as the best Hornets boss of all time.
He took the club from the old Fourth Division to a second-placed finish in the top flight in five seasons, and also led them to the 1984 FA Cup final, which they lost 2-0 to Everton.
Before the game there was a mosaic from the Watford fans spelling out the initials GT and a heart. A minute's applause was also heard before the match and chants of 'only one Graham Taylor' were a frequent part of the afternoon.
The game was also attended by Taylor's wife Rita and daughters Joanne and Karen while at half-time a number of former Watford players went on to the pitch to talk about their memories of Taylor.
Aitor Karanka's side are the lowest goalscorers in the Premier League with only 17 in 21 matches.
They only had one effort on target - a Fabio shot palmed away by Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes, who later suffered a back injury when he landed badly after he punched the ball away from Alvaro Negredo.
Cristhian Stuani wasted another rare chance for Boro as his lofted shot ended on top of the net.
However, Karanka will be optimistic by Gestede's performance when he came on for the last 25 minutes following a £6m move from Aston Villa earlier this month.
Watford also have problems getting goals with captain Troy Deeney - one of three players to be booked along with team-mate Miguel Britos and Watford's Fabio in a late scuffle - now on a run of one goal in 14 games.
He did, however, set up Cleverley with a flick-on after a long throw but the midfielder, on loan from Everton, could only hit the post.
Boro goalkeeper Victor Valdes also did well to save a shot from Doucoure and a header from Stefano Okaka.
Watford manager Walter Mazzarri said: "In the second half we had six or seven very good chances and hit the post so we were unlucky but I'm happy with the performance.
"In some of the games we were not lucky at all and today we were very unlucky, the important thing is to keep playing and the victory will come."
On the tribute to former Hornets manager Graham Taylor, Mazzarri said: "It was beautiful, there were a lot of emotions, everyone was emotional.
"We wanted to give this victory to this great person who passed away and that is the only thing we missed."
Watford captain Troy Deeney said: "Today was more about Graham Taylor and not the result. It would have been nice to get a winner and dedicate it to him.
"You could see how emotional everyone was and it showed how much people care about him. Hopefully this game can be remembered for Graham and not the result. The main thing is we didn't lose.
"There are no words that I can use to sum up how great a man he was and we just wish his family all the best at this difficult time."
Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka said: "It was not the best game to watch, for us it was a good game and we showed once again we are a consistent team.
"I would like to have had more chances but they are a strong team and we had to defend.
"We will score goals, we have good players and we created chances but sometimes it is difficult if you are playing against a physical team.
"As a coach until the 31st (of January) you are always expecting for something to happen, the aim is to finish the transfer market with a better squad than we have got at the moment."
Watford are away at Bournemouth in the Premier League next Saturday (15:00 GMT), while Middlesbrough entertain West Ham at the same time.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce says the Football Association was "wrong" to charge Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson over his argument with a fan.

Pearson is accused of using "abusive and/or insulting words" towards a Foxes supporter in the defeat by Liverpool.
Allardyce said: "He should get a warning about his future conduct, because he hasn't stepped out of line."
He added that the FA is "as scared as everyone else about being politically correct".
West Ham face Leicester in the Premier League at Upton Park on Saturday.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Pearson has accepted the charge and requested a personal hearing, but refused to apologise to the spectator.
Allardyce, who has been the target of abuse from West Ham fans, said: "It depends on what position you are in and if somebody has baited you as much as that fella did. Then if you get a reaction, you get a reaction.
"We are all human beings, aren't we? When you lose your rag, what do you do? Do you stay calm? No. So we cannot be angels all the time in this badly politically correct world we have.
"This politically correct world drives you up the wall. We will be shutting the door too hard soon; it will make too big a noise for somebody and that will upset."
Allardyce said Pearson was let down by Leicester security staff, who should have made the fan leave the ground.
He added: "They should have gone over, nipped him by the collar and pushed him out and said, 'Don't bother coming back here'.
"It is what Manchester United have been doing for years to stop anything like that happening."


The chief executive of a trust which runs 10 schools in Kent and Hampshire has been suspended pending an investigation into her conduct.

The Thinking Schools Academy Trust (TSAT) said Denise Shepherd had been suspended after it received "an allegation from an individual".
TSAT said it could not give details of the allegation for fear of prejudicing its investigation.
It added Ms Shepherd's suspension would not affect pupils' education.
The trust runs both primary and secondary schools in Strood, Chatham, Rochester and Portsmouth.
It said Stuart Gardner, the previous executive head of Chatham Grammar School for Boys and The Victory Academy in Chatham, had assumed the role of TSAT's director of secondary education.
He will be supported by Claire Stevens, director of primary education.
"The trust, which is duty bound to investigate any allegation, took the decision to suspend Ms Shepherd whilst it investigated the substance of the allegation," it said in a statement.
"Whilst this investigation is being undertaken we are unable to make any further comments about the detail of the allegation so as not to prejudice the outcome for either party."

Three dogs have died and several others are unwell after drinking from a fishing lake in Kent, police have said.

Brooklands Lake in Powder Mill Lane, Dartford has been cordoned off and the Environment Agency notified.
Vets are working to save the life of a fourth dog which became unwell after entering the lake. It is understood the dogs were all being walked together.
It is thought a local vet is treating seven dogs in all and the animals have "unidentified poisoning".
Police said they were warning people to stay away from the lakes as a precaution.
It has not yet been confirmed whether the dogs became ill due to water from the lake.
Dog owner Chris Barnett said her Jack Russell, Millie, was taken ill after walking at the lake last week.
"She picked something up and she was so ill all night but the next day she was OK," she said.
"I have heard somebody is putting stuff down for dogs to eat.
"I am certainly not going there for the next few weeks until things are cleared up."
The Environment Agency said water samples were being taken but it was not believed any fish had been harmed.
A spokesman said officials were warning anglers to stay away until more was known about the incident.
Brooklands Lakes is a fishing venue run by Dartford Borough Council.
The council said parts of the lakes and associated footpaths were closed to pedestrians and dog walkers while the water was tested.
It said it was likely they would remain shut until the results were known.
People were also advised to stay away from the lake in 2013 after blue-green algae was found after a spell of hot and dry weather.
The council said at the time the algae was potentially harmful to humans and toxic to animals.


A medical dressing that changes colour when it detects infection could cut the unnecessary use of antibiotics, say scientists at Bath University.

It works by releasing fluorescent dye from tiny capsules when toxins are given out by bacteria in a wound.
This allows doctors to identify bacterial infections and treat them more quickly, particularly in children with burns.
Researchers said it could help to save lives.
Children with burn wounds are particularly susceptible to bacterial infections because of their immature immune systems.
These infections can slow the healing of wounds, leading to longer stays in hospital and sometimes permanent scarring. In severe cases, infections can kill.
Doctors find it very difficult to diagnose infections quickly and easily without removing the dressing, which can be painful and create more scarring.
Because of this, antibiotics are often prescribed as a precaution before the infection is confirmed.
However, treatment with antibiotics when there is no infection can lead to bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics - and antibiotic resistance is a major health concern.
Dr Toby Jenkins, reader in biophysical chemistry at Bath, leading the project, said "it could really help to save lives."
The team has been awarded almost Â£1m by the Medical Research Council to test the responsiveness of the prototype dressing to samples taken from the wounds of burns victims.


An IT expert has been charged with hacking into Kenya's Revenue Authority and stealing $39m (Â£31m).

Alex Mutungi Mutuku, 28, is accused of electronic fraud but he denies any wrongdoing.
The prosecution says he is part of an international network stealing money from several state bodies.
The government says there is a ring involving expatriates from the United States and other countries, along with police officers and civil servants.
A thorough background check on state employees is now being conducted, government spokesperson Eric Kiraithe told the BBC.
Other state agencies affected by the alleged hacking include the e-citizen online payment portal where users pay for government services.

Mr Mutuku was arrested after police conducted an operation following a tip-off that institutions were losing money.
A lawyer for Mr Mutuku, Tacey Makori, has asked for him to be released, arguing that police had failed to show enough evidence to warrant an extended detention.
He is being held while anti-cybercrime officers dig deeper into what they believe is an elaborate fraud scheme with international connections.
It allegedly involves hackers with access to high-tech equipment and software which enabled them to steal from corporations, Kenya's Standard newspaper reports.
"It is a case of remote control hacking where the suspects operate smoothly with their machines and the next minute you realise you have no money in your account," state prosecutor Edwin Okello is quoted by the newspaper as saying.
"The information we have is just a tip of the iceberg. The racket is big and involves people outside the country."
The cybercrime unit says Kenya lost $165m (Â£132m) through hacking in 2016.
Earlier this month, several people including foreign nationals were arrested in Nairobi over their involvement in theft of funds through hacking.
Ten suspects have so far been charged in court.


A public consultation is due to take place over a planned new £11.8m link road which is intended to tackle congestion in Greater Manchester.

Wigan Council wants to build the road between central Wigan, the M6 and the M58.
The 1.4mile (2.2 km) stretch would connect the M58/M6 junction at Orrell through to Billinge Road and on to Pemberton Business Park.
A drop-in consultation session will take place on Tuesday in Pemberton.
A new section of road would also be constructed near to the eastern end of Leopold Street through to Billinge Road.
Following the consultation, a planning application will be submitted in which views can also be put forward.
Councillor David Molyneux said: "It's crucial for the growth of the local economy and for all of us in the borough that we have a transport infrastructure that is fit for the future and works for us all in the years and decades ahead."


A former Royal Marine sergeant jailed for killing a wounded Taliban fighter in Afghanistan says his first days of freedom are "a really good feeling".

Alexander Blackman was freed 11 days ago after serving three years in prison for killing a Taliban insurgent.
He said: "It's hard to explain how really good it is, just the freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want."
His wife Claire said having her husband back home was "wonderful".
Blackman, 42, received a life sentence in 2013, but his murder conviction was reduced to manslaughter after a high-profile campaign led by his wife.
He added: "You feel like going outside for five minutes, you can, you feel like going outside for the whole day, you can. It's a really good feeling."
Mrs Blackman's work won a huge amount of public support and funding to pay for the legal battle to appeal the original conviction for murder and subsequent life sentence.
She said: "It's really here, we really did it and I did often wonder if it would ever come but it took a long time to sink in, I didn't quite believe it but now he's home it's wonderful."
The shooting took place after a British patrol base came under fire in 2011.
Speaking of the moment he killed the Taliban fighter, Blackman said: "I still don't know exactly why I did it.
"A moment of madness is the best description I can give, it's not exactly the proudest moment of my life when I look back on it.
"I've spent a lot of time thinking about it and I haven't got a definitive answer."
When asked if he would do the same, he said the circumstances were "unique" and unlikely to be replicated again.
Mrs Blackman added: "It's not for me to judge, I have no concept of just how incredibly stressful it must have been out there.
"I feel personally, fairly certain, that if he had a time machine and could go back and do things differently, he absolutely would but we don't have access to such things.
"What he's done he's done and we've had the chance to move on and we're looking forward to doing that."
Blackman added: "Hindsight is a wonderful thing and given what's especially happened to us in our life, if you could go back you would change things and perhaps do things different."
Excerpts of the ex-marine's helmet camera were shown during his trial.
He explained: "The trouble we found with that is that it's a five minute section of an incident that took well over an hour, and to be fair you can put quite a few different spins on what's said and, unless you were actually there, you don't know the full story.
"Obviously, I told my version of events when I was at trial along with the other guys that were there. I'm content that what I [said] was my belief at the time, if other people have other views, they are entitled to do that."


A legislator from India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has declared war on a popular street snack, to general public bewilderment.

Momos, steamed meat or vegetable dumplings, are often associated with Tibetan and Nepali cuisine.
Ramesh Arora, from Indian-administered Kashmir, wants them banned for causing "life-threatening diseases".
He says they contain the food additive MSG which many Indians believe to be harmful.
However, some global studies have shown that monosodium glutamate is not as unhealthy as it is made out to be.
Reaction to Mr Arora's campaign has ranged from amusement to outrage.
Mr Arora has reportedly been campaigning against momos very seriously. The Hindustan Times newspaper reported that he has been speaking about the supposed bad effects of momos for at least five months.
But it's not just momos that have him worried.
Mr Arora says Chinese street food - also popular with Indians - is also full of MSG and can cause illnesses like stomach cancer, migraines and obesity.
Many Indians are aware that these foods contain MSG flavouring, but this has clearly not deterred them from eating them.
The Food and Drug Association (FDA) in the US says the addition of MSG to foods is GRAS, or Generally Recognised As Safe.
Mr Arora has also met the state health minister, Bali Bhagat, in an effort to convince him to ban the offending foods.
But for thousands of hungry Indians, there seems to be no move to take them off the streets just yet.


China has accused the US of militarising the disputed South China Sea through its air and naval patrols.

The accusation comes days after the US and Taiwan said China appeared to have deployed surface-to-air missiles on a contested island in the region.
Vietnam has called the reported move a "serious violation". The Philippines and Australia also expressed concern.
China dismissed the reports as "hype", but said it had the right under international law to defend itself.
Several nations claim territory in the resource-rich South China Sea, which is also an important shipping route.
Taiwan and US officials say satellite images taken on 14 February indicate that China has deployed missiles on Woody or Yongxing Island in the Paracels.
The island is claimed by China, Taiwan and Vietnam.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Wednesday: "There is every evidence, every day, that there has been an increase of militarisation from one kind or another. It's a serious concern."
However, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei hit back on Friday, telling reporters that US air and naval patrols in the region were what had "escalated tensions" in the region.
"That's the real militarisation of the South China Sea," he added.
The US says it does not take sides on territorial disputes, but has previously sent B-52 bombers and a naval destroyer near the disputed islands.
It says it conducts such "freedom of navigation" operations to ensure access to key shipping and air routes.
On Friday, Vietnam said it had issued diplomatic notes to the UN Secretary General and the Chinese embassy to protest against China's apparent deployment of missiles on Woody Island.
"These are serious infringements of Vietnam's sovereignty over the Paracels," foreign ministry spokesman Le Hai Binh said.
The Philippines also said it was "gravely concerned", and that China's actions would "aggravate the already tense situation".
Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said China should avoid "falling into the Thucydides Trap", where "a rising power creates anxiety among other powers such that conflict occurs".
Rival countries have wrangled over territory in the South China Sea for centuries, but tension has steadily increased in recent years.
Its islets and waters are claimed in part or in whole by Taiwan, China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei.
China has backed its expansive claims with island-building and naval patrols, while the US says it opposes restrictions on freedom of navigation and unlawful sovereignty claims - by all sides, but seen by many as aimed at China.
The frictions have sparked concern that the area is becoming a flashpoint with global consequences.


The number of mortgages being approved by banks and building societies is at its lowest for a year and a half, according to Bank of England figures.

During July - the first full month after the Brexit vote - 60,912 new mortgages were approved.
That was down from 64,152 approvals in June, and was the lowest total since January 2015.
The total amount lent out for house purchases was £10.4bn, down from £11.1bn in June.
The figures also show a 12.4% drop in the number of mortgage approvals on the same month a year ago.
The number of approvals has been falling steadily since March, when there was a rush to buy ahead of tax changes.
"Mortgage approvals for house purchases have progressively slowed after being buoyed in the first quarter by buy-to-let and second home sectors rushing to beat April's Stamp Duty increase for these sectors," said Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight.
"It is also highly possible that mortgage activity was hit in July by heightened uncertainty following June's vote for Brexit."
The Bank of England figures also show that growth in the amount being borrowed by consumers on credit cards and other loans eased off in July.
UK residents borrowed an extra £1.2bn during the month - down from £1.9bn in June, and 17% less than in July 2015.
This is the first time that growth in unsecured consumer credit has slowed since December 2014.
However, credit card lending by itself rose by £0.5bn in July to a record of £65.5bn.
"We remain concerned that while most households will be able to handle this extra borrowing, a minority of households could find themselves exposed to financial difficulty," said Joanna Elson, chief executive of the Money Advice Trust.

Six people have been hurt, two seriously, in a crash between a car and an ambulance on a 999 call in Kent.

A black Mercedes, carrying a family of five, collided with the ambulance on Babs Oak Hill in Sturry just before 14:00 BST.
Two girls, aged 12 and 14, were cut free from the car and airlifted to hospital with serious injuries.
Three other family members were taken to hospital with injuries not thought to be serious.
A South East Coast Ambulance Service spokesperson said one male staff member was taken to hospital with an ankle injury.
The ambulance was not carrying a patient at the time of the crash.
'Horrendous'
The two vehicles collided before leaving the road and ploughing through a fence into the garden of a property close to the A28.
The property owner John Lawrence told the BBC:  "It came straight through the fence and all chaos was let loose.
"We ran to see if we could offer help to the people in the vehicle...  It was just horrendous to see."
The South East Coast Ambulance Service said: "Our thoughts are with all those involved."
At 18:40 BST Kent Police said: "If you are planning to drive in this area please be patient, as the road is likely to remain closed for a number of hours."
Anyone who witnessed the collision, or saw either vehicle in the moments leading up to it, is asked to contact the Kent Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit.


French President Francois Hollande has said he wants the UK to stay in the EU - and warned of the "consequences" for immigration and the economy of leaving.

A French government minister earlier suggested his country could end UK border controls in Calais.
Asked whether he would do this, Mr Hollande said: "I don't want to scare you, I just want to say the truth - there will be consequences."
Leave campaigners have dismissed the Calais claims as "scaremongering".
Speaking to reporters at a summit in Northern France, Mr Hollande said: "There will be consequences if the UK is to leave the EU, there will be consequences in many areas, in the single market, in the financial trade, in development, in the economic development between our two countries.
"It doesn't mean that everything will be destroyed, I don't want to give you catastrophic scenarios, but there will be consequences."
He said the change would not put the historic relationship between the UK and France in question - but it would have an impact on "the way we handle the situation in terms of immigration".
Mr Hollande also said unaccompanied children in the Calais refugee camp known as the "Jungle" who have relatives in Britain should be "quickly" reunited with them.
"When these youngsters have a family tie in the United Kingdom, they should go to the United Kingdom quickly and efficiently," said the French president.
Prime Minister David Cameron agreed that the system had to work "better, more speedily".
Mr Cameron announced Â£17m to help the French authorities deal with the migrants attempting to get into the UK from Calais and Dunkirk. It will be used for security, shelter for migrants and help with returns.
He also announced a Â£1.5bn investment in a new phase of building advanced Anglo-French drones.
Challenged over Leave campaign claims the Remain camp is relying on "scare" tactics, Mr Cameron said: "When it comes to terrorism, when it comes to security, when it comes to our borders, we are better off, we are stronger inside a reformed EU.
"I will go on making these arguments, drawing on my experience, not making hypothetical claims, dealing with the reality."
He said voters should heed warnings about the risks of the UK leaving the EU from business and world leaders - and accused Leave campaigners of indulging in "David Icke-style" conspiracy theories.
France's economy minister Emmanuel Macron earlier sparked a row when he told the Financial Times his country could end UK border controls in Calais.
He also said France would limit access to the single market and try to tempt London's bankers to relocate.
Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin said "propaganda" was "being produced by other European governments at the request of the prime minister to try to scare people away from voting to leave".
He added: "We pay a great deal of money into the EU and it subsidises a great deal of French farming.  Surprise surprise, they don't want us to leave the EU.
"But this is a choice for the British people, not for the French government, and actually we're being asked to believe all sorts of ludicrous things."
The 'Treaty of Le Touquet'  was signed in 2003 by then Home Secretary David Blunkett and his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy following riots at the Sangatte migrant camp near Calais.
It was meant to ease the pressure on Britain's border force from migrants attempting to board channel tunnel trains. The now defunct Sangatte camp had been set up in 1999 to house thousands of asylum seekers trying to get to the UK through the tunnel.
Under the Le Touquet treaty, French border police have immigration checkpoints at Dover, while the UK has immigration checkpoints at Calais and Dunkirk.
In theory this stops those seeking to reach the UK from doing so without their immigration status being checked first, but this has led to the establishment of a new generation of camps near Calais.
Conservative MP Peter Bone, of the Grassroots Out campaign, said: "If asylum seekers start arriving at Dover, we will send them straight back. As an independent nation, outside of the EU, we will control our own borders whether the French government likes it or not."
The agreement between France and the UK that allows the UK to conduct border controls on the French side of the Channel is a bilateral treaty that is not connected to Britain's EU membership.
It is meant to stop people from travelling across the Channel without their immigration status being checked - but has led to the establishment of the so-called Jungle camp in Calais, where about 4,000 migrants are thought to be waiting to cross.
On Monday, there were clashes as French demolition teams dismantled huts in the Jungle.
France could opt to end the border treaty any time - but the country's interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve has said to do so would be "foolhardy" and cause "a humanitarian disaster".
His colleague, economy minister Emmanuel Macron, gave a different view in his FT interview, saying of Britain's EU membership: "The day this relationship unravels, migrants will no longer be in Calais."
It follows hotly disputed claims by Mr Cameron that migrant camps could move to England if the UK left the EU.
Over the past few weeks, the rhetoric on Calais here has grown louder and more strident.
There is pressure from politicians on both the left and the right to tackle the migrant situation in Calais, and those close to government ministers say that includes those in the Cabinet.
No one has said that a change in policy is currently being discussed, and newspapers this morning suggest Paris isn't currently counting on ending the Le Touquet agreement, but one source with close ties to the government told me there's real concern than a UK exit from Europe will leave France exposed to legal problems over the right to free movement of people within the EU.
Mr Hollande is facing tough opposition from the far right Front National, as he heads towards a presidential election campaign.
But shifting the border back onto British soil could end up encouraging migrant flows through France.
In his FT interview, Mr Macron also stressed that France would roll out a "red carpet" to London's bankers if the UK voted to leave the EU.
He said a country leaving the single market would "not be able to secure the same terms", and the EU's "collective energy would be spent on unwinding existing links, not re-creating new ones".


S4C has said it needs a major overhaul of its funding and its remit to avoid becoming a "second-class service".

The Welsh-language broadcaster has published a document setting out its 10-year vision, ahead of an independent review of its role and remit.
S4C relies heavily on public funding, with £74.5m from the BBC licence fee a year and £6.8m from the UK government.
It said an additional £6m was necessary to enable its content to appear on all new platforms.
Chief executive Ian Jones said money was also needed for programmes to prevent it becoming a "second-class service", but he would not say how much was required.
He told BBC Wales that S4C had to follow audiences now viewing TV content on digital devices.
"We don't have a choice, we have to target those viewers on the platforms of their choice and the platforms they want to use,"  he said.
"And that costs. Therefore, we need sufficient finance to do that."
S4C says cuts to its funding by the UK government meant its budget fell by more than a third since 2010 and that an increased income and a broader remit would provide long-term security.
An independent review of S4C, commissioned by the UK government, is due to take place by the autumn.
Mr Jones said the channel's future depended on implementing significant changes.
"I don't think we've got a choice, we have to do this," he said.
"If we can't get sufficient finance to enable us to pursue this vision, there is only one place where we can find that finance and that is to cut the current programme budget."
S4C's 10-year vision, published in a document called Pushing the Boundaries, calls for its content to be available on all new platforms - and for its remit in law to be redefined from that of a television channel to become a public service media company.
The channel argues the changes would give it greater freedom to pursue new programme-making and commercial opportunities, while it currently works to a remit set out in 1982, when the channel came on air.
It also says it wants to create content that is "more relevant, competitive and diverse," and to increase the "economic, linguistic and educational benefits" of its work.
To do this, S4C says it needs £6m to ensure its programming is available on all new devices and digital platforms. It says it also needs more money to spend on programmes but stops short of setting an exact cost.
S4C's WISH-LIST: THE NEXT 10 YEARS
S4C's document argues it would provide greater public value in future by providing a wider opportunity for Welsh-language programming to be accessed beyond traditional television sets.
It also vows to offer more educational content and do more to improve media skills in Wales.
Its commercial arm currently generates an income of around £2m a year which is reinvested into the channel.
But S4C argues it could "extract more value" from on-air brands in future if existing restrictions are lifted and confirms it is currently considering plans for a real-life Fferm Cyw /Cyw Farm based on its children's programming strand.
The document also addresses the future governance of the channel, including a proposal to remove the BBC appointee from the S4C Authority.


Further sanctions will be considered against Russia over the "appalling" behaviour of the Syrian regime, Boris Johnson says.

The foreign secretary urged Russia to "work with the rest of the world" rather than "stick like glue" to President Assad's regime.
G7 leaders are meeting to search for a unified solution to the Syrian war.
Russia and the United States have criticised each other following a US strike against a Syrian airbase.
US officials say the base was used to launch a chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of civilians.
Syria has denied using any chemical agents, and Russia says the US has failed to provide evidence Syria has chemical weapons.
Russia also accused the US of encouraging "terrorists" with its unilateral actions.
The UK government has backed the US action - and Mr Johnson, speaking as he arrived for the G7 talks in Lucca, said the strikes had "changed the game".
He said the evidence that President Assad's regime was behind a chemical weapons attack was "absolutely conclusive" and said Russian President Vladimir Putin was "toxifying the reputation of Russia by his continual association with a guy who has flagrantly poisoned his own people".
Asked about the possibility of further sanctions, he said "we will be discussing the possibility of further sanctions on some of the Syrian military figures and indeed on some of the Russian military figures who've been involved in co-ordinating the Syrian military efforts and who are therefore contaminated by the appalling behaviour of the Assad regime".
Earlier Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn - who did not support the US strikes on the Syrian airbase - warned of a "proxy war" developing between the United States and Russia.
The Labour leader also accused Foreign Secretary Mr Johnson of "encouraging further bombing" for suggesting the US could launch more missile strikes against the Syrian regime.
The Labour leader said Mr Johnson should have held "robust" talks with Russia rather than pulling out of a planned trip to Moscow, adding: "The solution has to be political."
He said: "Surely we have to get Russia and America around the table together to put pressure on respective parties to this war, because it's in danger of becoming a proxy war between them, in order to have a meaningful and effective ceasefire."
The Foreign Office is believed to have prepared a paper on possible sanctions that could be imposed on Russia that will be considered by G7 countries, BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said.
Russia will also be offered a greater role in international affairs should it end its support for President Assad, in what Foreign Office sources described as "a carrot and stick approach", he added.


Crime scene samples sent for forensic analysis by police forces in the East of England have fallen by almost a quarter, scientists have claimed.

Experts have said the fall is a direct result of police budget cuts.
The Forensic Science Service (FSS) at Huntingdon said cuts could lead to failed investigations and miscarriages of justice.
Police say the use of forensic services has reduced for financial and other reasons but deny falling standards.
The FSS is used by police forces in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire and Suffolk.
Some are carrying out forensic work themselves or are screening evidence to send what they believe are the best samples for analysis.
The average number of samples sent to laboratories in the past year is down by 23%, the FSS said.
Last month, Crime Reduction Minister James Brokenshire said advice from the Association of Chief Police Officers, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and others suggested that the UK forensics market would contract from £170m in 2009 towards about £110m by 2015.
In addition, police forces have been bringing forensic work in-house, in order to make cost savings.
FSS scientist and spokesman for the Prospect union, John Page said the issue of cost is never far from police officers' minds.
"The question that is often raised is how much is it going to cost," Mr Page said.
"In cases involving assaults, rapes and murders, submissions are not as extensive as they used to be.
"Also, submissions aren't necessarily all going to the same provider so it's creating a mish-mash service for the criminal justice system.
"It may well be that I go to a crime scene and choose some stains to DNA profile. Those stains may go to a different provider for analysis and I never see the results."
Forensic scientists are also concerned that police are increasingly carrying out in-house forensic work which is, they say, currently not of the standard of outside laboratories.
They are worried that police are pre-screening crime scene material themselves before choosing what to submit for analysis.
Roger Blackmore, a private sector forensic scientist from Cambridgeshire-based Hayward Associates, said: "In the vast majority of cases the police will probably be right, they can reduce the amount of work they undertake and they will still get the same results.
"But where they have had to skimp on examination or items submitted for examination they may actually miss evidence.
"There are possibilities for miscarriages of justice, or that the police won't obtain the correct or the maximum amount of evidence."
Suffolk Police said financial pressures have forced it to cut back on speculative DNA testing in crimes such as assaults, burglaries, thefts and criminal damage.
A spokesman said: "The number of submissions of speculative DNA samples from undetected volume crime has reduced this year.
"This is in response to the financial pressures currently experienced by the police service.
"Notwithstanding this, the submission of samples is prioritised according to the seriousness of the crime and the potential of DNA samples to assist in its detection."
Essex Police said: "Over the past year Essex Police has reassessed how DNA samples are selected for submission to forensic providers such as the FSS.
"This followed a review of our submissions policy in 2009.
"In assessing an article for submission we will take into account a number of issues such as the type of crime and potential success rates.
"We work closely with the FSS to analyse our previous submissions so we have the greatest understanding of how we can make the best use of technology such as DNA."
Cambridgeshire Police said it is cutting DNA testing in crimes where the chance of obtaining a sample is low.
Mr Page said that the imminent closure of the FSS by the government is a serious body blow to the criminal justice system.
"It creates the real likelihood of the guilty not being found guilty and those who are innocent not being exonerated for crimes which they haven't committed," he said.
A Home Office spokesperson said: "The continued availability of a professional and effective forensics service to the criminal justice system is our priority.
"The FSS is making huge financial losses and it is vital that we take clear and decisive action.
"It is not the sole provider of forensic services to the criminal justice system and it has lost market share over time due to increasing competition.
"This will have an impact on the samples it receives.
"We are confident that our plans will not adversely affect the criminal justice system, providing the best value for money for the taxpayer and supporting the market so that other forensics providers can adjust to meet demand."


Electronics company Samsung has admitted it gave a horse to the daughter of a woman who is at the centre of a corruption scandal embroiling the South Korean president.

Lawmakers were questioning leaders of big businesses in a rare TV hearing, as part of a huge corruption inquiry.
Eight firms admit donating funds linked to President Park Geun-hye, but deny seeking favours.
Parliament is due to vote on Friday on Ms Park's impeachment over the scandal.
Massive protests have been held in recent weeks demanding her resignation.
The executives are being questioned by a cross-party committee of lawmakers. The panel has no power to punish but its chairman has said the hearing is a place for apology.
The conglomerates are all accused of giving large donations to non-profit foundations operated by Choi Soon-sil, a close confidante of Ms Park. Ms Choi has been charged with coercion and attempted fraud.
Samsung has been accused of donating in exchange for support of a controversial merger that effectively strengthened the position of de-facto company head Lee Jae-yong.
The company gave a total of 20.4bn won (Â£16m; $17.46m) to the two foundations.
Prosecutors argued that Samsung paid $3m towards equestrian training for dressage competitor Chung Yoo-ra, the daughter of Ms Choi.
They say that Ms Chung spent some of the money on the horse, Vitani V, thought to be worth around $850,000.
Lee Jae-yong confirmed to the inquiry that the company had paid for the horse, saying he regretted doing this.
But he denied that money donated to the foundations had been given "in return for something".
Mr Lee apologised for Samsung's involvement in the scandal and said his company would "take all responsibility" if there were any.
One of the corporate bosses acknowledged that it was difficult for firms to say no to government requests.
"It's a South Korean reality that if there is a government request, it is difficult for companies to decline," said Huh Chang-soo, head of the GS Group and chairman of the Federation of Korean Industries lobby group.
These are men who never appear in public if they can help it. They normally live in an enclave of power and wealth, hidden behind the shaded glass of chauffeur-driven black cars.
But they filed in, each in their corporate uniform of a dark suit. They raised their right hands and promised to tell the truth.  And then they were subject to what they are not used to: hard questions which some might deem impertinent.
The hearing has the air of a spectacle because press photographers have been allowed to stay and they crane towards the business titans from ladders, constantly firing off loud barrages of clicks.
The de-facto head of Samsung, Lee Jae-yong, seemed discomfited by questioning. His eyes moistened when his bed-ridden father was mentioned. And he gulped when asked how much inheritance tax he had paid. He didn't know, he said.
He did defend donations to funds controlled by a friend of the president, saying his company often gave money to what seemed like a good cause.
South Korea's family-owned conglomerates, known as chaebols, have increasingly been perceived as a symbol of the out-of-touch elite, and have become a target of public fury in recent protests calling for Ms Park's resignation.
Ms Park has apologised multiple times to the public for allowing Ms Choi inappropriate access to government decisions but has stopped short of resigning.
Last week she said she would leave it to parliament to decide her fate, and on Tuesday she was quoted by her party's leader as saying she would accept the outcome of Friday's impeachment vote.


Ireland's hopes of qualifying for next year's World Cup suffered a setback as they were beaten 6-2 by Belgium at the World League semi-finals tournament.

A Stephen Cole goal gave Ireland an early lead which they held until the end of the first quarter.
However, second-quarter goals from Simon Gougnard and Cedric Charlier helped Belgium lead 3-1 at half-time.
With Tom Boom notching a hat-trick, Belgium moved 6-1 ahead before Alan Sothern's late reply.
Ireland keeper David Harte made a series of brilliant saves - including taking a point-blank shot on his mask in the third quarter as the Olympic silver medallists produced relentless pressure.
"Belgium are a good team and have got a lot of power in a lot of areas," said Ireland coach Craig Fulton after the game in Johannesburg.
"Their corners are a strength so when you give away soft ones, it does hurt you. We had a good few phases but couldn't sustain it for longer periods."
Despite the loss, Ireland are next in action against Egypt on Thursday where a win will assure Fulton's side of a place in the quarter-finals and a big step toward securing a 2018 World Cup ticket.
"It's about the next game and there are some areas to improve on but I am really looking forward to the next phase," Fulton added.
The Irish will qualify for the 2018 World Cup if they finish in the top five in the 10-team tournament in Johannesburg.
Ireland, who defeated hosts South Africa 2-0 in their opener on Sunday, will also play Egypt and Germany in Group B.
The Irish side went into the tournament as the fifth highest ranked of the competing nations.
Ireland squad: David Harte (GK), Jamie Carr (GK), John Jackson, Jonathan Bell, Matthew Bell, Chris Cargo, Matthew Nelson, Alan Sothern, Eugene Magee, Neal Glassey, Shane O Donoghue, Sean Murray, John McKee, Paul Gleghorne, Jeremy Duncan, Conor Harte, Stuart Loughrey, Stephen Cole.


Part of one of Swindon's busiest roads will be turned into a bus-only route as part of a £350m town centre revamp.

Work is due to start on Fleming Way, between its junctions with Prince's Street and Station Road, in 2016.
It will see the elevated section of the road lowered to pedestrian level and an "uninviting" subway removed.
The project is being run by Forward Swindon, which is leading the regeneration on behalf of Swindon Borough Council.
Chief executive Ian Piper said the town centre was currently "split in two" by Fleming Way.
"[This makes] access to shopping and social facilities difficult for workers and visitors," he said.
"By removing this physical barrier, we will make Swindon town centre a more vibrant and attractive place to work and to visit."
Once the changes to Fleming Way have been completed the bus station will relocate to the western end of the road.
Developers say the area will include a "linear park" connecting the business district and the station to the north with shops and restaurants.
The redevelopment of Fleming Way and the surrounding area is the latest stage in the Kimmerfields development in the town centre.
Forward Swindon is an independent company established and funded by Swindon Borough Council in 2010 to "deliver and facilitate economic growth and property development in the town".


On a freezing night last December, Charlotte Bevan and her newborn baby daughter went missing from a hospital in Bristol.

Still wearing her slippers, the 30-year-old first-time mother walked from St Michael's Hospital in the centre of the city to the Avon Gorge, where she threw herself off the cliff-face with baby Zaani in her arms.
At the inquest into her death it was revealed that Ms Bevan had a long history of mental health problems and had suffered an "undiagnosed psychotic relapse" before the tragedy.
Her father died from a brain tumour when she was 15 years old and in the years that followed, she self-harmed, was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was sectioned four times under the Mental Health Act.
In 2010, suffering from depression and experiencing paranoid psychotic episodes, Ms Bevan was prescribed risperidone.
The inquest heard she stopped taking the anti-psychotic drug to breastfeed her new baby.
Midwife Alison Woozley told the hearing she had a "sense of foreboding" before Zaani's birth, when she expressed concern that Ms Bevan had stopped taking her medication prematurely.
"She became very, very angry. She was right in my face, saying 'I know my rights as a woman, how dare you tell me what to do'.
"I was extremely concerned for Charlotte's well-being but also for the well-being of the baby. My anxiety was how she could look after a baby," she said.
Psychiatrist Laurence Mynors-Wallis said there were "significant failings" in Ms Bevan's care.
"There wasn't a watertight care plan in place," he told the inquest.
"A care plan is core to delivering the interventions that are needed for people with mental illnesses, especially those who are going through childbirth - which is a stressful experience.
"It is important as well because she would be coming into contact with a series of professionals who aren't experts in mental health."
Dr Mynors-Wallis questioned whether St Michaels Hospital was the right place for Charlotte to give birth.
Nurses there were not trained to deal with "complex" patients and may have "normalised her behaviour as that of being an exhausted mother", he said.
There is a specialist centre for patients with mental health issues at Southmead Hospital, in the north of Bristol.
More questions about Ms Bevan's care are likely be answered in a Serious Case Review which is under way and expected to report its findings once complete.
In an interview with the BBC, Ms Bevan's friend Aniel Paranjpe said her "outgoing" personality could change "suddenly, unpredictably".
Mr Paranjpe first met Ms Bevan about a decade ago in Glastonbury, when he was working in a health food shop where she was a customer.
When he moved to Brighton in 2008 Ms Bevan - who was studying massage and natural therapies - slept on his sofa for three months,  he said.
"She wore her heart on her sleeve and she was fairly outgoing.
"But I think there was something holding her back from being the expressionist, the confident person that she could have been.
"I think on most days, if you turn the clock back to when she was here, she was fine.
"But there were trigger moments that would set her off into a depression."
The same year, as her family became increasingly concerned about her "chaotic lifestyle", Ms Bevan was sectioned for the first time.
Mr Paranjpe continued to receive news about her through Facebook and in April 2014 she told him she was pregnant and that she would visit him in Brighton with her partner Pascal Malbrouck and the baby.
"She told me a lot about her dreams and all the fun she was going to have... and it sounded great," he said.
"It sounded like she had a head for all of that and really wanted to get on with life in another way, as a family."
On 28 November, two weeks overdue, Zaani Tiana Bevan Malbrouck was born.
The inquest heard Ms Bevan was "happy on the day of the birth" but her partner Pascal said she became "worse and worse and worse" as she was not sleeping or eating.
Her sister Janet Tibbs, following a visit on 30 November, said she had been "worried for Zaani" as her sister had appeared "sketchy and on edge".
Two days later, with temperatures close to freezing, the new mother walked out of the hospital carrying her four-day-old daughter, wrapped in just a blanket.
Their bodies were later discovered in the Avon Gorge by a passerby who spotted the white hospital slippers and a multicoloured-blanket.
"I just thought I will hear from her when the baby has been delivered," said Mr Paranjpe.
"Then I heard the news and realised that it was too late."


A series of reports have described how Jimmy Savile targeted patients and workers at hospitals in England and Wales over 50 years.

His victims ranged from five years old to pensioners, and he attacked men, women, girls and boys.
The health secretary has apologised to victims and admits they have been "let down badly".
Some of the details in this article are disturbing.
Who was Jimmy Savile?
He was a Radio 1 DJ, but he was probably best known for presenting Top of the Pops. He fronted the first episode in 1964 and re-appeared for the last weekly show in 2006.
He often presented programmes aimed at teenagers and children, especially Jim'll Fix It.
Each week he would "fix it" for young viewers to have their wishes come true.
He was a larger than life character, with outlandish hair, colourful clothes and flashy jewellery.
But even though he was seen as quirky, he was respected as a charity campaigner.
He was awarded the OBE in 1971 and was knighted in 1990.
How did the sex abuse stories come out?
There were rumours about him abusing children during his lifetime.
In 2007 and 2008 he was questioned over claims dating back to the 1970s. But there wasn't enough evidence to take it any further.
It's now come out that if authorities had taken victims seriously, he could have been prosecuted in 2009.
He died in 2011. A year later, ITV broadcast a documentary called Exposure: The Other Side of Jimmy Savile.
Several women claimed he sexually abused them when they were underage. This triggered more and more claims against him.
Why was Jimmy Savile linked to hospitals?
He was associated with hospitals all the way through his career. He worked on the radio station at Leeds General Infirmary.
Over the years he returned as a fundraiser and volunteer porter.
Now 28 NHS sites across England and Wales have looked into abuse claims about Jimmy Savile. Most reported one or two cases.
But two hospitals in particular had many more stories.
What did the report from Leeds General Infirmary say?
60 people, both staff and patients, came forward and said they had been abused by Jimmy Savile. Some were rude comments, or inappropriate touching. There were three rape claims.
The age of victims ranged from five to 75, but most were teenagers.
The first case happened in 1962, when the presenter was 36. The last claim investigators heard about was in 2009. He was 82 years old.
Nine of the victims did tell staff what was going on, but they weren't taken seriously. Senior managers were never told.
Did he abuse dead bodies?
This is one of the most disturbing claims to come out of this. The report chairwoman said he had an "unwholesome interest in the dead".
She told how one woman said that when she was a student nurse at Leeds General Infirmary, Jimmy Savile told her he would go down to the mortuary and have sex with dead bodies.
There were also claims that he wore rings "made from the glass eyes of dead bodies at the mortuary".
The report says there is no way of telling if this is true or not but that controls on people going into the morgue weren't strict enough.
What was his connection with Broadmoor?
Jimmy Savile was linked with Broadmoor Psychiatric Hospital from 1968 onwards. He had a set of keys, an office and living quarters at the high security facility.
He had an official role there, heading up a task force about patient welfare.
The report looked into 11 claims of sexual abuse, and told how Jimmy Savile would watch and comment as female patients showered.
Investigators think the real number of cases there could well be much higher, because many former patients would want to forget their time there.
What has the reaction been?
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has described him as "a sickening and prolific sexual abuser who repeatedly exploited the trust of a nation for his own vile purposes".
He apologised on behalf of the government and the NHS to all victims.
The solicitor representing many of Savile's victims says there needs to be a change in the law so that staff have to report suspicions of abuse.
Is this the end of this story?
Sadly not. Another hospital was due to report back too, but now it has been given fresh evidence.
The BBC is also expected to release information later in the year, looking at what Jimmy Savile did in its buildings.

A Chinese company is to invest £2bn in two eco-parks in north and south west Wales creating 1,000 jobs.

SinoFortone Group said the investment would build two 299MWe biomass power stations on Anglesey and in Port Talbot.
Heat from the plants will be recycled by hydroponic and aquaculture centres, producing prawns and vegetables.
The announcement was made as Chinese President Xi Jinping started his UK visit.
Development company SinoFortone Group said it had the support of the Chinese government and it would be the largest biomass power project in the world.
The project will take three years.
A co-operation agreement has been signed with the British Orthios Group, whose chief executive Sean McCormick said the "core objective" of the project was to increase the UK biomass energy supply while reducing carbon emissions and increasing food supply.
A Welsh government spokesman said: "We welcome any further progress on these two projects, which have the potential to create hundreds of jobs and provide a major boost for the local economy."
A spokesman for Anglesey council said: "This investment will bring a tremendous boost to the economy of the area.
"This news moves the project considerably closer to being realised."
The Anglesey biomass project pledges to deliver up to 500 jobs on the site of the former Anglesey Aluminium plant at Holyhead.
It hopes to create 120 jobs directly in the energy plant and more than 300 jobs producing seafood, fruit and vegetables in the adjoining eco-businesses.
Proposals were first unveiled by Mr McCormick in 2009 and received a licence four years ago.
Nearly 400 jobs were lost when the aluminium plant closed.
As many as 2,500 jobs and £2.3bn investment has already been pledged for the island over the next 15 years, with renewable energy projects and hopes of a new nuclear plant at Wylfa.
John Idris Jones, director of the Anglesey Energy Island project, said: "This is good news for the project and a step in the right direction.  We look forward now to seeing some work on this site."
Plans for a biomass plant in Port Talbot have also been put forward in recent years - receiving permission in 2007 - but it faced local opposition.
Ralph Windeatt, head of commercial at ABP South Wales, said: "We are delighted to be working alongside Orthios and SinoFortone to deliver the Port Talbot eco-park, a combined power and food facility that will deliver much welcomed economic growth, jobs and training opportunities in the region."
SinoFortone Group chief executive Dr Peter Zhang said: "We see this as a ground-changing model that many countries will benefit from and are delighted to be teamed with the Orthios team."


Derby County will have to break their record transfer fee to sign Hull City's Tom Ince, BBC Radio Derby reports.

Ince, 23, scored 11 goals in 18 games on loan at the Rams last season and has a year to run on his Hull contract.
But the loan agreement is understood to have included an option to buy.
The Rams' record signing, Wales striker Robert Earnshaw, cost £3.5m from Norwich City in 2007, but Ince is expected to cost less than the £6m which has been reported.
Former Derby head coach Steve McClaren confirmed the club wanted the ex-England U-21 international to return to the iPro Stadium in May.
And the appointment of new manager Paul Clement has not changed their stance, with new signings Darren Bent and Alex Pearce also having been identified before Clement took over.


Sheffield's Danny Willett used to play his golf "in the middle of a sheep field" - now he's about to play in his first Masters.

Willett, 27, has been paired with American Larry Mize and Australian amateur Byron Meth for the first two rounds at Augusta National.
"We used to go to Anglesey in Wales for two weeks in the summer and play the same nine-hole golf course three or four times," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"I think the longest club you hit was probably a seven iron on this par three course in the middle of a sheep field.
"You skip it forward 17 years and you've got an invite to the Masters. It's just a bit crazy really."
Willett, who is currently ranked 51st in the world, turned professional in 2008 after winning the English Amateur championship in 2007.
He climbed into the top 50 of the rankings in December last year after winning the Nedbank Challenge in South Africa.
His group will be the second to tee off on Thursday and Willett believes that his place in the field is a reward for his perseverance.
"There's been a lot of hard work and good information. That's what being a good athlete comes down to," he said.
"A lot of people get good information but don't work hard and then they wonder why they aren't achieving what they want to.
"This is my seventh year on the Tour and in itself it is a great achievement every year to keep doing what you are doing.
"It's all going in the right direction and I've just got to keep working hard and hopefully keep getting better."

President Obama has said he will take unilateral action to tackle the problem of gun violence in the US.

In his first weekly address of 2016, Mr Obama said he would meet Attorney General Loretta Lynch to discuss actions he could take.
He said he was using his executive powers as president because the US Congress has failed to address the problem.
Analysts say there will be a backlash from gun activists and Republicans.
But Mr Obama told Americans that he had received too many letters from parents, and teachers, and children, to sit around and do nothing.
"We know that we can't stop every act of violence," the president said. "But what if we tried to stop even one? What if Congress did something - anything - to protect our kids from gun violence?"
He has admitted that his inability to win Congressional backing for what he called "common sense gun laws" was the greatest frustration of his presidency.
The BBC's Laura Bicker in Washington says the president could use his executive authority in several areas, including expanding new background check requirements for buyers who purchase weapons from high-volume dealers.
However he is likely to face stiff opposition to his plans, our correspondent says.

The National Rifle Association has already launched a video series attacking gun control activists.
And in Texas, a new "open carry law" will allow Texans with a permit to wear handguns on their hips in holsters - openly displaying the fact they are armed.
Last month a Texas police chief warned the president that trying to disarm Americans could spark a revolution.
Previous efforts to introduce stricter gun control laws have repeatedly foundered despite the large number of people dying in gun attacks.
A joint Democrat-Republican bill following the 2013 shooting of 20 children and six adults at a primary school in Connecticut failed to get the 60 votes needed to broaden background checks and ban assault weapons.


Wales hooker Ken Owens is unlikely to feature for the Scarlets should the region reach the Pro12 final on 27 May.

Owens was assessed by British and Irish Lions medical staff earlier in the week and will be reassessed again next week.
The Scarlets captain will miss Friday's semi-final against Leinster after suffering an ankle injury in training.
The 30-year-old is one of 12 Welshmen included in the Lions squad, who are in a training camp in Wales and fly to New Zealand on Monday, 29 May.
The first tour game is against New Zealand Provincial Barbarians on 3 June.
"It's rugby at the end of the day, stuff does happen and players get injured," said Lions skills coach Neil Jenkins.
"Hopefully Ken is going to be fine although he is missing a big game for the Scarlets this weekend.
"With a bit of luck everything is going to be OK for the Lions."


A man who beat a church organist to death as he walked to a Christmas Eve service has been jailed for life.

Jonathan Bowling admitted attacking Alan Greaves with a pickaxe handle near St Saviour's Church in High Green.
Bowling, 22, who has a long history of violent offending, was told by a judge at Sheffield Crown Court he would serve a minimum of 25 years in prison.
Ashley Foster, 22, of Wesley Road, High Green was sentenced to nine years for manslaughter.
He was cleared of murder on Thursday after a trial.
Sentencing Bowling and Foster, Mr Justice Teare told them: "Why you wished to inflict violence on another human being on Christmas Eve is known only to you."
The judge said: "You chose your victim at random. Alan Greaves happened to be in front of you, on his way to serve the community, as he had always done, and you decided to inflict violence on him.
"Neither of you knew Alan Greaves. He had done nothing to provoke the attack on him.
"His wife, his family and his community have suffered a tragic and horrendous loss."
Mr Greaves's widow, Maureen, said she was "happy" with the sentences.
Outside court she said: "To think Ashley's got nine years is the very best we could have got in the circumstances of the manslaughter.
"To think that Jonathan's got 25 minimum and to think he'll probably never come out, I really am wonderfully pleased with the result."
Mrs Greaves said she would not read a letter Bowling had written to her.
"To put it into my hands the day he was going to get sentenced, I didn't think it was very appropriate," she said.
Mr Greaves, 68, a father of four, died in hospital three days after suffering head injuries in the attack.
Before the sentencing, prosecutor Robert Smith told the judge Bowling's previous convictions included an attack on a 36-year-old jogger when Bowling was 15.
The judge heard how Bowling was also convicted in his teens for brandishing a hammer when a police officer stopped him, threatening a woman with a hammer and headbutting a woman who complained because he was throwing snowballs at her window.
Foster had no previous convictions for violence.
