Cycling, triathlon and netball have been given increased grassroots funding, but tennis, cricket and rugby have seen their money cut.

Sport England has also given tennis, as well as swimming and basketball, just one-year guaranteed finance with the rest dependent on results.
The body will give £493m to grassroots sports between 2013-17, up £54.7m.
Out of 46 sports, 32 have seen rises in funding, with 11 receiving less money and three getting the same amount.
Top five increases:
Cycling: Up by £7.3m to £32m
Netball: £6.6m to £25.3m
Football: £4.4m to £30m
Triathlon: £2.8m to £7.5m
Equestrian: £1.9m to £6m
Top five decreases:
Rugby League: Down by £10.1m to £17.5m
Rugby Union: £8.8m to £20m
Cricket: £7.7m to £27.5m
Tennis: £7.1m to £17.4m
Judo: £3.8m to £6.1m

Big winners were cycling, triathlon and netball, whose funds will increase by more than 30% after they impressed with future plans.
Boxing has also benefited, seeing a 26% rise to £5.8m.
Richard Caborn, chairman of the Amateur Boxing Association of England, said: "Boxing is one of the few sports that has continually delivered increases in grassroots participation over the last four years and it is great to see that this achievement has been recognised in the new funding announcement."
But the Lawn Tennis Association's four-year plan for increasing the numbers of people playing the sport was described as "not strong enough" and £10.3m of its £17.4m total has been put on hold. In addition its overall funding is being cut by £7.1m compared to the last period.
Sport England chief executive Jennie Price said: "Tennis has not performed well in terms of participation.
"Their plan simply wasn't strong enough to justify the four-year investment. They have only a one-year award for participation and they have to improve their plan for growing participation."
The LTA said it was on the right track but admitted there was still work to be done.
Swimming and basketball will have funding withheld as well, while Sport England assesses whether new participation plans are working.
David Sparkes, chief executive of the Amateur Swimming Association, said: "While we are disappointed with the one-year investment for participation, we are encouraged by the confidence Sport England has shown in our plans to increase swimming participation levels over the next four years."
Sport England said officials from cricket, rugby union and rugby league were "comfortable" with their funding cuts. It said the reductions were largely due to the end of spending on "large capital projects" between 2009 and 2013.
RFL chief executive Nigel Wood said: "We will now be looking carefully at the award details of [our] new Whole Sport plan to see how we take our important community and talent development work forward with the support of Sport England, and naturally we are disappointed that rugby league has not been able to maintain the previous level of funding."
Overall, the bulk of the funding is aimed at 14-25 year-olds, with £83m to help talented athletes get access to better facilities and coaching.
Key figures include:
Figures released earlier this month showed 15.5 million people aged 16 and over were playing sport at least once a week - 750,000 more than a year ago and 1.57 million more than when London won the Olympic and Paralympic bid in 2005.
"The conditions being attached to continued funding for swimming and tennis, plus the cuts to grants for cricket and both codes of rugby, are a reflection of the demand from government to get a return on its investments. Sports like cycling, triathlon and netball - who have strongly targeted participation with creative schemes - are seeing their efforts rewarded. It's a classic case of carrot and stick"
'Money comes with strings attached'
However the figures also showed the number of 16- to 19-year-olds participating in sport three times a week had dropped from 930,400 to 825,900.
Sport England's chief executive, Jennie Price, said: "We've learned a lot over the last four years and, with a record 15.5 million people already playing sport once a week, we are on track to deliver. We have worked very hard with the governing bodies of sport to make these decisions."
In total 46 sports will receive investment through each sport's governing body following a "robust and challenging process" to assess the quality of their plans and their ability to deliver for community sport and talent development.
Each sport will be subject to "tough performance management" through a "payment for results" approach that will see Sport England rewarding success and penalising failure.
Sport England's funding is separate to that of UK Sport, which will announce how it will disperse its money for elite Olympic athletes on Tuesday.


A mystery which has puzzled archaeologists for years might finally have been solved - an expert from Arizona University thinks he may have found Queen Nefertiti's tomb.

11 August 2015 Last updated at 18:57 BST
Queen Nefertiti is thought to have been the mother of Tutankhamun, an important ancient Egyptian King.
She is famous for her beauty, and her powerful reign.
But despite her importance in ancient Egyptian history it's always been a mystery where she was finally buried.
Now, Dr Nicholas Reeves, a leading expert on ancient Egypt, thinks he might have found a hidden doorway which leads to her tomb.
He looked at scans of the walls of Tutankhamun's tomb, to find secret doorways, hidden beneath the plaster.
Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered almost 100 years ago, but archaeologists have always wondered why it was so small, for such an important king.
Now, they think it could have been added on to the side of his mother's tomb, which could be far grander.
We won't know for sure, unless Egyptian authorities choose to break through to mystery doorway and have a look.
Egyptologist, Dr Joyce Tyldesley, told Leah how important the discovery could be.


Bonfires unsurprisingly dominate Tuesday's papers ahead of tonight's eleventh night celebrations.

Tensions have been growing in the build up to the annual Twelfth of July commemorations amid fears some bonfires have reached dangerous heights.
Four Belfast sites have been deemed a risk to health and safety and to property, and bonfire makers at those sites have been banned from adding any further materials to the already towering structures.
But despite the ban, issued by Belfast City Council, the Irish News, the Mirror and the News Letter all carry a defiant image of two masked men standing atop the Inverary Playing Fields bonfire in Belfast on their front pages.
The men appear to be breaching the order by continuing to add to the bonfire, which will be set alight later today.
The Irish News reports: "Men wearing balaclavas and scarves over their faces could be seen using a cherry picker to stack pallets on top of one of the four pyres at the centre of a controversial injunction."
It also reports that election posters belonging to Sinn FÃ©in and the Alliance Party have been placed on a bonfire in the Conway Street area near the Shankill Road.
Posters of Naomi Long and Michelle O'Neill, as well as Paul Maskey and John Finucane, are among those reported to have been used.
Mr Finucane last night told the Irish News that the Orange Order should "speak out about the hate crimes that have taken place at theses Eleventh night bonfires".
But the News Letter reports it was "unclear whether a court injunction taken against the organisers would lead to prosecutions".
Speaking to the paper, loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson said he would like to see the "rationale" behind the injunction.
"They (the council) now appear to be back-tracking slightly in relation to the lighting of bonfires," he said.
"So far as I'm concerned it's (the injunction) not worth the paper it's written on."
In a letter to the editor, Mr Bryson writes that "Sinn FÃ©in's fingerprints are all over these new movements agitating in relation to flags and bonfires".
In the Mirror the headline reads "up in smoke" as it claims there are fears police will not be able to cope if violence erupts.
Chair of the Police Federation of Northern Ireland, Mark Lindsay, has warned: "What we don't want is a drain on already stretched resources."
The Belfast Telegraph also leads with bonfires, but takes a different tack.
It has spoken to an east Belfast cleric who has "slammed" a "lack of leadership" in the run up to the Twelfth Day.
Pastor Lucas Parks, whose grandfather was an Orangeman, was speaking after fire officers boarded up the rear windows of his church to protect it from the bonfire at Ravenscroft Avenue car park on the Bloomfield Walkway after it is lit tonight.
Like the Iverary Playing Fields site, it is also the subject of an injunction issued on behalf of Belfast City Council.
Pastor Parks told the paper that five families who live in a nearby apartment block have moved out of their homes because they fear they will be engulfed in the flames of the Ravenscroft bonfire.
He said he approached the builders some weeks ago to plead with them over the towering structure.
"I couldn't repeat what they told me," he said.
"Some of them were in the 20s, some were as young as six or seven years old.
"Someone has to be the voice of justice and for the people who are afraid to speak out, it's been the Christian tradition to do that for thousands of years."


More than one third of bus stops used by the UK's main coach operator cannot accommodate wheelchair users, despite its fleet being able to carry them.

National Express stops at almost 1,200 bus stops across the country, but 436 have so many restrictions they prevent drivers from using their lifts to carry wheelchair users aboard.
This means that some disabled people are left unable to travel by coach.
Disabled People Minister Mark Harper says the situation is "unacceptable".
He is now leading calls for councils to make bus stations and stops more accessible.
Obstacle course
"It is simply unacceptable that in the 21st Century more is not being done to make coach stations and stops more accessible to disabled travellers," he said.
"There is little point in making sure buses themselves are accessible if those who operate the places where people are collected from are not doing what they can to help.
"This isn't just about doing what's right - it's also about recognising the business case - as disabled people and their household have an annual spending power of Â£200 billion."
The entire National Express fleet of 550 vehicles is wheelchair accessible - meaning wheelchair users can be carried at the front of their coaches.
Wheelchairs are brought on to the coach using a lift which requires a clear space for a three metre extension from the side of the vehicle.
But at a third of bus stops, objects - such as lamp-posts, bollards, railings, public seating or signs - prevent the lift from operating.
Wheelchair user David Redgewell, 47, from Alvestone, in Gloucestershire, said the lack of accessibility at some bus stops had forced him to change buses and added many hours to his trips.
"A business trip from Bristol to Perth took 14 hours instead of 12 because I had to change in Glasgow as the coach parking bays in Perth were too shallow for the lift to be used," said the disability issues campaigner.
"When I went from Bristol to Ilfracombe in June, I had to take a detour via Barnstaple because Ilfracombe doesn't allow a disabled ramp to be lowered. And in London I couldn't get to Earls Court directly because there isn't access for the coach lift.
"It can be very frustrating and annoying because often the coaches are accessible, but the bus stops are not."
Tom Stables, National Express managing director said: "We carry millions of passengers every year and are absolutely committed to getting people where they want to go whatever their circumstances.
"We hope that with the backing of the government that more station and bus stop owners will listen and take action in this crucial area."
Local authorities have a legal responsibility to comply with the Equality Act by making reasonable adjustments for disabled travellers.
Some 84% of buses and coaches in England meet new regulations to make them properly accessible to disabled people - ahead of a deadline by 2020.
Virtually all London's 8,500 buses are now fully low-floor accessible.

If you tuned into University Challenge on Monday, you'll know that a team from Ulster University (UU) lost narrowly to Edinburgh University.

It was the very first time UU has entered a team on the quiz and with an average age of 50 they were some of the oldest competitors to take part.
They may have suffered a loss, but at only five points behind their rivals, they can hold their heads up high.
Team member, Matthew Milliken, a PHD student, said it was "tremendous fun".
The UU team was made up of members drawn from the four campuses in Belfast, Coleraine, Jordanstown and Londonderry.
As well as Matthew, from Comber, County Down, it consisted of Cathal McDaid from Buncrana, County Donegal, Kate Ritchie from Waringstown, County Down, and captain Ian Jack from Peterhead in Aberdeenshire.
Matthew told BBC's Good Morning Ulster that the team hadn't set their sights too high.
"We set ourselves a target of not being the lowest ever score, but we exceeded that ambition."
They even got a tweet today from University Challenge legend Bobby Seagull who said it was the highest losing score in the last six years.
Monkman v Seagull: The greatest face-off of all time?
Why do University Challenge contestants go viral?
The team were able to have a joke with the famously stern presenter, Jeremy Paxman.
"In the picture round, the picture came up on the screen in front of us. It was a round on actors who had played a part on Broadway and gone on to win an Oscar for the film," Matthew said.
"The picture was Yul Brynner and I do have a pretty similar hairstyle to him. I buzzed in with the right answer.
"Jeremy Paxman, looked across at me, raised an eyebrow knowingly and I removed my glasses and wiped my baldy head.
"As I said to my daughter, 'Your daddy's a meme' ".
Matthew added that the university had never made an attempt to get on the show before.
"It would be really easy for it [to be] populated with Oxbridge students. There are so many colleges and phenomenally intelligent young people over there.
"We're a bunch of folk who have, perhaps struggled a bit to come through this stage of education. I proudly boast that I scrapped two A Levels and went to the poly.
"I wasn't one of these kids who grew up watching the programme. It was a much more recent advent in my world."
However, it's not all over for the team, as they will still have the opportunity to compete in the play-offs.
We have everything crossed for you.


Hundreds of planning applications are to be reviewed after a council admitted its air pollution data was "falsified" to make it look cleaner.

Cheshire East Council said "deliberate and systematic manipulation" took place from 2012 to 2014.
Cheshire Police is investigating whether any crimes were committed.
The council has apologised and said the falsified figures had caused "serious problems" in assessing applications for new developments.
"Serious" errors in the council's air quality data readings, from 2012 to 2014, made them appear lower than they really were, an external investigation has revealed.
Falsified data "may have affected" decisions made on planning applications in Nantwich, Congleton, Crewe, Holmes Chapel and Sandbach, it concluded.
Emails seen by the BBC last month showed that auditors believed the number and nature of the inaccuracies meant human error was "unlikely" to have been responsible.
Sean Hannaby, the council's director of planning and sustainable development, said: "We would like to assure everyone that we have done everything we can to rectify these failings.
"There are no immediate health protection measures needed as a result of these errors."
Councillors have to decide if a development will:
All UK local authorities are obliged to monitor local air quality and submit their findings to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
Defra said the data provided "an overview of pollution in locations where people are likely to be present and reveals historic trends which indicate whether policies to improve air quality are having the desired effect".
Air pollutants include nitrogen dioxide from exhaust emissions which the government has been ordered to cut.
If a council does not meet national objectives it is obliged to declare an Air Quality Management Area and publish an action plan.
An internal review by Cheshire East Council auditors in 2016 found the air quality data submitted was different to the original data provided by the laboratory that analysed readings from the council's monitoring equipment.
The falsified data was from testing stations "spread over a wide geographical area, which implies that the manipulation was not motivated by a wish to favour specific sites", the council's report summary said.
Cheshire East Council has not commented on any potential disciplinary action.
A Defra spokesperson said: "We are aware of this issue and understand the local authority is now considering its response to the investigation."


Chinese officials have condemned a US ship's passage near disputed islands in the South China Sea as "illegal" and a threat to their country's sovereignty.

The guided-missile destroyer USS Lassen breached the 12-nautical mile zone China claims around Subi and Mischief reefs in the Spratly archipelago.
The US has confirmed the operation took place, apparently as part of its Freedom of Navigation programme.
The operation is a challenge to China's claims over the artificial islands.
Lu Kang, a spokesman for China's foreign ministry, said Beijing would "resolutely respond to any country's deliberately provocative actions".
He added that the ship had been "tracked and warned" while on the mission to deliberately enter the disputed waters.
The Chinese foreign ministry summoned the US ambassador to protest over the move.
Meanwhile, US Defence Secretary Ash Carter confirmed that the USS Lassen had passed within 12 miles of the islands, during questioning by the Senate Armed Forces Committee.
US Defence Department spokesman Cdr Bill Urban had earlier said that "the United States is conducting routine operations in the South China Sea in accordance with international law".
The move was welcomed by several countries in the East Asia region, including the Philippines and Japan.
China claims most of the South and East China seas. Other countries in South-East Asia have competing claims for the Spratly Islands, Paracel Islands and Scarborough Shoal, which are thought to have resource-rich waters around them.
The reefs, which were submerged, were turned into islands by China by a massive dredging project which began in late 2013.
China says this work is legal and in a meeting with US President Barack Obama last month in Washington, President Xi Jinping said China had "no intention to militarise" the islands.
But Washington believes Beijing is constructing military facilities, designed to reinforce its disputed claim to most of the region - a major shipping zone.
The US Freedom of Navigation programme challenges what it deems to be "excessive claims" to the world's oceans and airspace.
It was developed to promote international adherence to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, even though the US has not formally ratified the treaty.
In 2013 and 2014, the US conducted Freedom of Navigation operations of different kinds against China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam - each of whom occupies territory in the South China Sea.
China's island factory
Why is the South China Sea contentious?
International maritime law allows countries to claim ownership of the 12-nautical mile area surrounding natural islands, but does not allow nations to claim ownership of submerged features that have been raised by human intervention.
A senior US defence official told Reuters news agency the warship began its mission early on Tuesday local time near the reefs and would spend several hours there.
The USS Lassen, a guided-missile destroyer, was expected to be accompanied by a US Navy P-8A surveillance plane and a P-3 surveillance plane, according to the unnamed official, speaking to US media.
Additional patrols could follow in the coming weeks, the official added.
Why build a series of tiny islands in the middle of a vast sea? - Celia Hatton, BBC News, Beijing
China has altered Asia's geography by dredging sand from the sea bottom and piling it on existing reefs to build several new islands.
Vague explanations have been offered to justify this costly exercise. Officially, the islands will be used for rescue operations and environmental projects.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has pledged the islands would not be "militarised".
However, many are sceptical of China's geopolitical aims. In recent years, China has amplified its claims in the South China Sea. Critics fear Beijing will use the islands' airstrips to exert control over the area.
At the same time, the United States is exerting its own influence in Asia, pivoting more of its military and economic attention to the region. The new islands are relatively tiny, but the tensions they could create between Beijing and Washington could have global implications.

Wigan Warriors cruised to derby victory at St Helens for the first time since April 2014 with a dominant four-try Super League display.

The Warriors held the home side out for an hour, racking up points through Dom Manfredi, Sam Powell and Joel Tomkins tries in the first half.
Joe Greenwood's score gave Saints a glimmer of hope, but Matty Smith's try restored Wigan's advantage.
Theo Fages' score came too late as Saints crashed to defeat.
The rocking atmosphere and Saints' optimism was gradually subdued by Wigan's suffocating defence, while the intensity boiled over in sporadic bursts such as Tomkins' hit on Kyle Amor in the opening half.
Shaun Wane's Warriors had their proud home record ended by Widnes last time out despite leading for long periods, but showed their defensive mettle at Langtree Park to hold on to their advantage.
Manfredi scored the opening try after Saints indiscipline coughed up a penalty, and the winger showed his worth again soon after with a run that created the platform for Powell's solo effort.
Tomkins' score before half-time tightened the visitors' grip and the deficit might have been bigger if Oliver Gildart's try had not been chalked off for a ball steal.
Saints were desperate to get on the scoresheet and were rewarded when Fages put Greenwood over.
Smith's score looked to have settled it but Fages' try late on kept nerves jangling slightly before the hooter finally buzzed to give Wigan the points.
St Helens coach Keiron Cunningham:
"I thought we started phenomenally well - it was probably one of our best starts of the year - but there were a couple of opportunities we didn't take and one thing led to another.
"We put ourselves in a bad spot in the last 15 minutes of the first half. We got on the back foot and couldn't get it back.
"Some of the tries they didn't have to earn, whereas we had to fight and scrap for everything we got so it's disappointing but we get to go again on Monday.
"I can't question the effort of the players in the second half, the guts and determination they showed to get us back into the game was brilliant but we've got to be a bit more ruthless as a team."
Wigan coach Shaun Wane:
"It's a great feeling, I just didn't think the score reflected the game.
"We got hammered with penalties, which put us under the pump and the 50-50s didn't go our way,
"But I'm very proud. It's a tough place to come. Saints are a well-coached team and they have some talent, so to get the two points means a lot to Wigan people.
"I thought we looked in control most of the time and it would have been a bigger win if we had been smarter."
St Helens: McDonnell; Makinson, Peyroux, Dawson, Owens; Fages, Walsh; Tasi, Burns, Amor, Wilkin, Greenwood, McCarthy-Scarsbrook.
Replacements: Walmsley, Roby, Richards, Thompson.
Wigan: Sarginson; Manfredi, Gelling, Gildart, Charnley; O'Loughlin, Smith; Flower, Powell, Clubb, J Tomkins, Bateman, Burke.
Replacements: Mossop, Tautai, Sutton, Gregson.

Next-generation smartphones could avoid signal drop-outs thanks to new data-rich maps being produced by Ordnance Survey.

The detailed 3D models feature buildings, proposed constructions, hills, trees and weather cycles, all of which can interfere with 5G signals.
Researchers will be able to test towers in various locations and instantly see how well they might perform.
One analyst said the tool would help networks provide better coverage.
Next-generation 5G networks will offer consumers faster connections and increased bandwidth for activities such as video streaming.
But Ordnance Survey says the higher frequency signals have a shorter range than current 3G and 4G signals, and are more susceptible to interference from "even raindrops and leaves".
The planning tool will use Ordnance Survey's mapping data and high-resolution aerial images to produce its 3D models, while weather data will be provided by the Met Office.
"The character of 5G means the location of cell towers is more sensitive - so it will be very important to fully understand the topography of each area," said Ben Wood, analyst at CCS Insight.
"The better the tools networks have to help site cell towers correctly, the more likely we'll get high quality coverage from the get-go."
Ordnance Survey said its maps were so detailed, they even included vegetation cycles to determine how trees might affect 5G coverage during different seasons.
Parts of Bournemouth have already been modelled using the experimental tool, which Ordnance Survey hopes will be rolled out across the UK.
"It will be a useful tool for companies deploying 5G networks," said Mr Wood. "But there is no alternative to spending the money to install a lot of cell sites."


A former council worker accused of using his position to gain contact details for a 15-year-old girl before propositioning her for sex has appeared in court.

Aaron Whitman, 26, of West Bergholt, Essex, faces five charges, including inciting an underage girl to have sex.
He is also accused of misconduct in a public office while working for Essex County Council.
He appeared at Colchester Magistrates' Court where he did not enter a plea.
The charges date back to between July 2013 and September 2014,  when he worked as a business administrator for the council.
He was bailed to appear at Ipswich Crown Court in January.


Chelsea have signed goalkeeper Eduardo from Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb for an undisclosed fee.

The 33-year-old Portugal international has agreed a one-year contract.

Norwich City kept their Championship play-off hopes alive by beating Barnsley at Carrow Road.

Jacob Murphy fired in his 10th goal of the season from inside the box to give the Canaries the lead at the break.
Adam Hammill, Angus MacDonald and Marley Watkins all went close for the visitors after the restart.
Norwich then stretched their lead thanks to MacDonald's own goal to leave them five points behind sixth-placed Sheffield Wednesday.
Victory means caretaker boss Alan Irvine has now claimed four points from a possible six since the departure of Alex Neil.
The hosts dominated the early proceedings, with Jonny Howson and Alex Pritchard both being denied by Barnsley keeper Adam Davies.
After Hammill had a goal ruled out for a clear offside at the other end, winger Murphy gave the Canaries a deserved lead moments before the break when, having being picked out by Cameron Jerome, he drilled a shot low and into the corner of the net.
Hammill was unlucky to not get a strong enough flick on Andy Yiadom's cross to make it 1-1 after the restart and MacDonald saw a close-range effort well saved by Michael McGovern from the resulting corner.
But, after Steven Naismith fired over for the Canaries with just the keeper to beat, they doubled their lead in fortunate circumstances as an effort from Murphy deflected off MacDonald into the net.
Jerome and Howson then went close to adding a third as Norwich coasted to three points.
Norwich caretaker manager Alan Irvine:
"I was asked to take charge for two games and I have done that. I haven't heard anything more about what happens going forward, but I should imagine I will be speaking to someone soon to find out what happens next week.
"If that is to be my last game in charge it was a good way to finish - and the win certainly makes it interesting as far as the play-offs are concerned.
"Being five points behind sounds a lot better than being eight points behind - and as I said last week there are still plenty of points to play for."
Barnsley manager Paul Heckingbottom:
"The take-away message from that game is hit the target, score goals.
"There were plenty of positives to take away from it, but if you are going to get anything in this league you have got to be clinical in front of goal.
"It's frustrating, but there is still plenty to play for. We will keep striving to get that perfect performance and obviously want to win as many games as possible between now and the end of the season."

Free training workshops have been offered to artists as part of an effort to create a new workforce of animators in the Highlands and Islands.

King Rollo Films, the makers of children's TV programmes Spot, Maisy, Mama Mirabelle, Humf and Poppy Cat, wants to develop a new series on Skye.
It has teamed up with Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) and XpoNorth to offer the workshops.
The training will be held on Skye in December and January.
Gaelic language college Sabhal MÃ²r Ostaig UHI will host the workshops.
The organisers of creative industries festival XpoNorth said the training would "equip talented artists and train up a new workforce for the Highlands and Islands".
In March, King Rollo Films announced its plans to write, animate and produce a new television series on Skye.
HIE has been helping the Bafta award-winning company to find writers and artists to work on it.


Ambulance crews are finding it "increasingly difficult to cope", an audit of the service in England says.

The warning by the National Audit Office comes just two months after a BBC investigation highlighted increasing delays answering 999 calls.
The NAO said rising demand, recruitment problems and wider NHS pressures meant crews were failing to hit targets.
It comes as NHS bosses are looking at relaxing the eight-minute target for calls where it may not be necessary.
In November the BBC revealed ambulances were increasingly being delayed outside A&E units as hospital staff were too busy to take on the patients being brought in.
And the investigation found just one of the 13 services in the UK was meeting its key target - the eight-minute goal to reach the most life-threatening cases.
This NAO review just looked at performance in England. It too highlighted these problems and urged NHS bosses to review what was happening.
It pointed to the discrepancy between the rise in demand - 30% over four years - compared to the rise in budget - 16% over the same period.
NAO head Amyas Morse said action was needed as ambulances were a "vital" part of the service.
Christina McAnea, of Unison, which represents ambulance staff, said: "There's simply not enough money to cope."
NHS England said steps were being taken. Ambulances have been given longer to assess calls before a response needs to be sent - about a quarter of crews are called back before they reach the scene because call handlers have to make quick decisions about who needs an emergency response.
Three ambulance services - South Western, Yorkshire and West Midlands - are piloting a scheme which is seeing some urgent calls, such as strokes and fits, re-categorised as not needing an eight-minute response. Evidence suggests such quick responses are not necessary in these cases.
Prof Keith Willett, of NHS England, said: "These trials are designed to makes sure ambulances focus on the right priority - getting to the most urgent patients in the quickest possible time and improving the service to all patients who dial 999."


Polish Olympic champion Adrian Zielinski has joined brother Tomasz in being sent home from Rio 2016 after testing positive for nandrolone.

Adrian Zielinski, who had moved up to -94kg after winning gold in the -85kg in London, failed a drugs test at the Polish Championships in July.
The Polish Weightlifting Federation said the 27-year-old has a legal right to have his B sample tested.
His 25-year-old brother Tomasz was sent home from Brazil on Tuesday.
Nandrolone is an anabolic steroid which can help athletes to train harder and aids recovery time.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport's anti-doping panel in Rio has already heard Tomasz Zielinski's case and banned him from the Games. The International Weightlifting Federation will now decide on any sanction.
His is the third case to be heard by the specially-convened anti-doping panel since the Games started.
It banned Bulgarian runner Silvia Danekova after she tested positive for blood booster EPO, and China's teenage swimmer Chen Xinyi has accepted a provisional suspension while a positive drug test is investigated.

Former Rangers owner Craig Whyte and ex-chief executive Charles Green have been charged with conspiracy and involvement in serious organised crime.

David Whitehouse, from administrators Duff and Phelps, faces the same charges while Mr Green, 62,  is also accused of fraud.
An angry crowd of fans shouted abuse as police escorted them from Glasgow Sheriff Court.
All three have been granted bail to return to court at a later date.
The three men were arrested on Tuesday after a police investigation into the sale of Rangers assets in 2012.
Another accountant, 51-year-old Paul Clark, who ran the club while it was in administration, has also been arrested.
Rangers was sold to Craig Whyte by its former owner Sir David Murray in 2011 for a nominal sum of Â£1.
But it entered administration in February 2012 after running out of cash.
Mr Whitehouse, 50, who worked at Duff and Phelps, was appointed as joint administrator, along with colleague Mr Clark.
When an agreement with creditors could not be struck to allow the club to exit administration, a sale of Rangers' assets to a consortium led by Mr Green was concluded.
He was at the helm when Rangers were allowed to join the Third Division but stepped down in 2013 following allegations that he was working in conjunction with Mr Whyte, 44.
Charles Green was shielded by police officers when he left by the front door of the court at around 15:30 BST on Wednesday.
A group of around 20 supporters shouted and tried to jostle the former Sheffield United chief executive.
Mr Whitehouse left the court to equally angry scenes around 20 minutes later.
Craig Whyte, 44, then made his exit just before 19:00 and was met by another angry crowd.
The trio have been charged under Section 28 of the Criminal Justice Licensing Act 2010, which covers serious organised crime offences. They have also been charged with conspiracy.
In addition Mr Green has been charged with fraud and also an offence under Section 190 of the Companies Act 2006.
They made no plea or declaration.


A main road into Cardiff has reopened after closing when a police car and a Royal Mail van were involved in an accident in the early hours of Monday.

Penarth Road in Grangetown shut at its junction with Corporation Road and Clare Road following a collision between the two vehicles.
The mail van then crashed into a nearby building. The two people in the police car were taken to hospital.
The road was shut for nearly six hours while recovery operations took place.
South Wales Police said the two people were treated for injuries which were not life-threatening. The collision happened shortly after 03.30 BST.
Buses were diverted along Avondale Road and Clare Road at the One Stop shop to avoid the closure.
A Royal Mail spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a Royal Mail vehicle was involved in a road traffic accident this morning at 3.40am near the junction with Clare Road and Penarth Road, Cardiff.
"The male driver was shaken up, but thankfully not seriously injured."


League Two side Bury have signed teenage forward Courtney Duffus on loan from Everton until January.

The 19-year-old, who joined Everton from Cheltenham in 2011, helped the Toffees win the Premier League Under-18 title last season and is now a regular in their under-21 side.
Shakers boss David Flitcroft told the club website: "Courtney is a player we have watched for a while now.
"He has pace, power and wants to run in from behind and hurt other sides."


The January window is about to open and the transfer rumours will start to hot up.

Will Premier League leaders Chelsea add to their squad? Are Manchester United missing a defender?

Durham require another 246 runs to beat Derbyshire in an intriguing Division Two encounter at Chesterfield.

The visitors resumed on 274-8 and Barry McCarthy (39) and Paul Coughlin (73 not out) took their ninth-wicket stand to 90, before Durham were all out for 301.
Derbyshire had a first-innings lead of 67 but they slumped to 31-3 in their second, before Alex Hughes (108 not out) saw them to 214 all out.
Needing 282 to win, Durham closed on 36-0 with Michael Richardson on 29.
Derbyshire were frustrated in the morning session as Durham's tail pushed the visitors' total past 300 after being 205-8 on day two.
In reply, Hughes was one of only three Derbyshire players to reach double figures, with Luis Reece making 37 and first-innings centurion Matt Critchley scoring 28.


A ceilidh and a torchlight procession are to be held on Saturday to mark a year since a community buyout of a Cold War surveillance station on Lewis.

The radio and radar station set up at Aird Uig, Gallan Head, 60 years ago was part of Nato's early warning system against Soviet submarines and aircraft.
Gallan Head Community Trust bought the site from the Ministry of Defence with help of grant funding.
It is working on turning parts of the site into a space observatory.
A marine research centre is also planned at what is to be called The Cetus Observatory.
The trust said: "Cetus will be a ground-breaking, multi-purpose space for observing the dark skies, changeable weather, listening to and spotting whales and getting absorbed in every aspect of nature and science.
"The observatory will hold an internet operated robotic telescope, a small radio telescope, a small radar, a solar telescope, a planetarium, a space exhibition, giant wide field binoculars for viewing cetaceans and birdlife, nature webcams, a cafÃ©, educational facilities, and a small shop.
It added: "Outside the centre there will be a circular path around the headland, in some places leading to observation shelters, excellent for daytime marine life spotting walks or night-time star gazing."


The parents of a boy left fighting for his life after being stabbed have released a picture of him in intensive care in a bid to find his attackers.

Jamel Boyce, 17, was left critically ill after being stabbed in the chest and leg in Clapham, south-west London, on 14 October.
His mother Pansy said it was "impossible" to describe the pain her family was suffering.
But she hoped the image would show the devastating impact of knife crime.
Detectives said the "minor scuffle" with four males may have appeared trivial to onlookers, but the teenager collapsed soon afterwards.
Jamel, a business student, was at a McDonald's in Clapham High Street when there was a dispute with the people he was with at about 15:00 BST on 14 October.
Four hours later the teenager was attacked in a road around 200 yards from the restaurant.
Bystanders gave him first aid before the arrival of paramedics who took him to hospital.
Mrs Boyce said: "It breaks my heart to release this picture of Jamel but it shows plainly the devastating impact that carrying and using a knife can have.
"I would hate for any other mother or family to go through what we are going through right now.
"If you know what happened, and who did this to my son, please look into your conscience and speak to police."


In 1953, British Pathé and BBC cameras captured the sumptuous spectacle of the newly crowned Queen's first visit to Northern Ireland.

The footage tells you a lot about society at the time.
Crowds, dozens deep, lined the roads and railways to catch a glimpse of the sovereign.
Over pictures of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at Stormont, the Pathé narrator says: "Her Majesty the Queen has found overflowing expression of the undoubted loyalty and love of all her people in Northern Ireland."
1953 is the year in which the republican writer and former Sinn Féin publicity director Danny Morrison was born.
After viewing the footage, he observes that the way the royal visit was handled and reported suggested the nationalist community did not exist.
He says that the royal tour would not have meant anything to nationalists.
"They would not necessarily have resented it," he said, "but back then before the civil rights campaign, they would have accepted that was their lot."
By 1966, there had been the first rumblings of conflict - and in that year, the Queen visited Northern Ireland for the last time before the Troubles broke out.
She opened the bridge in Belfast which bears her name.
But in a sign of the coming hostilities, a young nationalist dropped a brick from a high building onto the bonnet of the royal car.
The monarch did not return to Northern Ireland until 1977 - her Silver Jubilee year.
Security was so tight that the Queen had to stay overnight at sea and take her first ever helicopter flight to get to Belfast.
Republicans staged a demonstration which they called the "Queen of Death March".
It ended in a clash with the security forces.
Two years later, the royal family lost one of their own.
Lord Mountbatten was one of four people killed by an IRA bomb on their fishing boat off the western Irish coast.
An end to the violence felt a long way off.
But in the early 1990s, amidst whispers of the moves towards the peace process, the Queen began to undertake visits to Northern Ireland again.
In 1998, there was a moment which showed the potential power in sovereign symbolism.
The Queen took part in a public event with the Irish President Mary McAleese for the first time - on a World War One battlefield in Belgium.
They opened the Island of Ireland Peace Park at Messines.
Londonderry community worker and former loyalist leader Glenn Barr was one of the people who led the project.
He says the lesson of history was very relevant.
"This is the choice," he reflects. "You can learn to solve your differences through dialogue, or you fight a civil war and fill the graveyards of Ireland north and south, and you'll have to sit down and talk at the end of it."
He remembers that the potent image which was broadcast globally helped to open the way for more of the same.
"We knew there were talks then about the possibility of Messines setting the scene for Her Majesty to visit the Republic at some point," he says.
"We were very aware that a magnetic friendship had appeared between Her Majesty and President McAleese."
That friendship continued to grow.
It culminated in 2011, when the Queen came to the Republic of Ireland for a state visit.
She stood beside the Irish President at Dublin's Garden of Remembrance - and laid a wreath in memory of the rebels who fought British rule.
Sinn Féin did not meet the monarch on that visit.
But the gestures - which also included the Queen addressing dignitaries in Irish during a banquet - helped to change republican thinking.
The following year, Martin McGuinness became the first republican leader to shake her hand, during a visit to Belfast.
The meetings which were once unthinkable became more regular.
But this week has seen more history made and healing found.
The future King made a poignant pilgrimage to the place his mentor was murdered.
And the heir to the throne met the Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams, in public and private.
Danny Morrison says that for republicans, meeting the royals who are technically at the head of the Crown Forces was a difficult step.
But he thinks that the changed royal-republican relationship is "extraordinary".
"I am an Irish republican, but I have to recognise that the British people revere their head of state. I think it represents that we're moving away from conflict, away from disagreement and difference and towards accommodation, peace and respect," he said.
Glenn Barr says "you couldn't have a more meaningful gesture than Gerry Adams meeting Prince Charles, and Martin McGuinness shaking hands with Her Majesty the Queen".
"If that's the leadership she has given to us as her people, then we should take it," he added.
The relationship between royalty and republicanism used to mirror the faultlines during the Troubles.
But now historic handshakes have come to symbolise restoration and reconciliation.

The world's largest money manager BlackRock reportedly plans to cut 400 jobs, or about 3% of its workforce, in its biggest round of layoffs to date.

The layoffs will be announced in the coming weeks, according to unnamed sources who spoke to Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal.
A memo from BlackRock's president Rob Kapito and chief operating officer Rob Goldstein said the job cuts have not been finalised.
BlackRock declined to comment.
The last time BlackRock cut a significant number of jobs was in 2013 but the firm ended the year with a higher headcount.
The new round of layoffs comes following months of volatility in the financial markets, which has negatively impacted the income made by traditional banks and other investment houses.
Rivals like Franklin Resources, AllianceBernstein and State Street are also shedding jobs as part of their cost-cutting efforts.
BlackRock has 13,000 employees globally and manages around $4.6tn in assets.


Welsh schoolboy Jackson Page lost 6-4 to Alexander Ursenbacher of Switzerland in the final of the under-21 event at snooker's European Championships in Cyprus.

The 15-year-old was aiming to add the under-21 title to the under-18 title he had already won at the championships.
He had beaten fellow Welshman, 18-year-old Tyler Rees in the semi-final.
Page is now in the senior men's event in Cyprus with a game against Bulgaria's Viktor Iliev on Monday.
In February Page reached the third round of the Welsh Open in Cardiff before losing to Judd Trump.


No-one has been prosecuted for paying for sex in Northern Ireland despite the fact it has been illegal for more than a year, it has emerged.

The law - the first of its kind in the UK - was introduced last June after a majority of MLAs at Stormont backed it.
It was feared the law would push the sex trade further underground and expose sex workers to greater risk.
But figures from the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) have shown no-one has ended up in court for paying for sex.
According to the PSNI, more than 800 men are paying for sex in Northern Ireland every day, but over the past year, only 10 men have been investigated by police.
Out of the seven of those cases referred to the PPS, three were thrown out, two men received cautions while the remaining two cases are still being considered by a senior prosecutor.
Defending the PSNI's record, Det Supt John McVea said there had been some successful outcomes.
"There are a number of people who have received cautions at the direction of the PPS. Our priority is to protect the vulnerable and to target human trafficking and sexual exploitation," he said.
Making it illegal to pay for sex has acted as a deterrent and that has been welcomed, he added.
"We have identified 60 people in the past year who have been the victims of human trafficking," said Det Supt McVea.
"That is a considerable number and we feel we have made a significant impact on human trafficking throughout Northern Ireland. Paying for sex within this act is a not a priority, our priority is to target the human trafficking element and sexual exploitation."
Det Supt McVea said the PSNI's aim was "not about targeting an individual sex worker", but to ensure that sex workers are not vulnerable and do not fall victim to a crime.
He added, however, that: "If we come across criminality we will address it, and that's where the ten cases have been referred to the PPS in the past year."
The lack of prosecutions has come as no surprise to David Ford, who was the Justice Minister when the law was introduced.
"The challenge for police is how they actually produce evidence from what is, in effect, a consensual business relationship between two adults. There clearly is a lot of work that needs to be done to fight trafficking, but that is not the same thing," said Mr Ford.
"We need a more detailed look at the issues around prostitution rather than tacking on this one clause to a bill dealing with the more important issue of human trafficking."
The DUP's Lord Morrow, who pushed for the new law, said it is too early to judge how effective the law will be.
"Those of us who are legislators don't have any control over the PPS, however, we are expecting that there will be a change coming in the next 12 months," said Lord Morrow.
"I believe, as the police have already assured me, that this is a precious piece of legislation in the tool box which they will be using."
Lord Morrow said he has warned the PPS that questions will be raised if there are no prosecutions in the next 12 months.
"I can't tell the police what their priorities should be, but I believe they value the new law and they are keen to see the implementation and enforcement.
"I look to the PPS to do what they are supposed to be doing, and if over the next 12 months there is no change we will be talking to the PPS to ask them to explain the reason why," he added.
One sex worker in Belfast - Catriona - told the BBC that the new law has put her at greater risk.
"I'm not surprised there have been no prosecutions as it was always going to be difficult to get the evidence.
"My clients are aware of the law and if anything it has left sex workers at greater risk, as it is harder to scan our clients," she said.
"They are reluctant to be upfront about who they are and that means we aren't sure who we are seeing or if they are genuine. Clients are more fearful they will be found out and will end up in court and have their names in the newspaper."
She added: "I think the police have better things to be doing than going after people who are having consenting sex."
Under the legislation, those who are convicted of paying for sex will face a fine of Â£1,000 and up to a year in prison.
Politicians at Stormont are due to review the law in two years' time.

Mercedes' Nico Rosberg took pole position for the Belgian Grand Prix, which team-mate and title rival Lewis Hamilton will start from the back.

Hamilton has been hit with engine penalties amounting to 55 grid places, and has the choice of starting from the back of the grid or the pit lane.
Hamilton starts the race 19 points ahead of Rosberg in the championship.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen qualified second ahead of the Ferraris of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was fifth in front of Force India's Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg.
Rosberg now has a great chance to seriously reduce his championship deficit to Hamilton.
The world champion knows his task is one of 'damage limitation' - to climb as far back up the field as he can.
Hamilton, who did only one slow run in the first part of qualifying to ensure he made it into the race without trouble, said: "It's definitely the weirdest qualifying session or weekend I've had so far.
"We are just taking all the experience and trying to use it. We already know Sunday is a lot different.
"The temperature of the track has made it incredibly hard to get the set-up right and there is only so much you can do to get the tyres to last long. But hopefully we've done it right."
The race promises to be enlivened by divergent tyre strategies, with Rosberg, the Ferraris and Ricciardo starting the race on the soft tyre and Verstappen on the super-soft, which is proving very fragile and runs out of grip after just a few laps.
That situation is likely to have left Ricciardo full of regret. His running in Friday practice suggested he was the closest rival to Mercedes on race pace.
But mistakes on both his runs in final qualifying left him 0.3secs off the pace of Verstappen, who out-qualified the Australian for only the second time since they became team-mates at the Spanish Grand Prix in May.
The Dutchman delighted the thousands of his home fans who have crossed the border to cheer on their new national hero, who earlier this season became the youngest man ever to win an F1 grand prix.
Although Ferrari looked uncompetitive on Friday, they have turned things around overnight and Raikkonen was only 0.166secs off Rosberg's pace in qualifying - and just 0.017secs slower than Verstappen.
Vettel was 0.198secs off Raikkonen's pace, continuing his rocky form of recent races, and bemoaned over the radio at the end of the session the fact his tyres had lost grip even before the end of his single flying lap.
Hamilton is not the only superstar who will start at the back. He will be joined there by McLaren's Fernando Alonso, who so far has a total of 35 grid places in terms of engine penalties and may yet be hit with more.
The Spaniard had a worrying day, doing only three laps in final practice because of an engine problem and then grinding to a halt after only 500 metres of qualifying with another.
He said it was possible Honda may have to change his engine again before the race.
His team-mate Jenson Button qualified ninth, splitting the Williams of Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa.

Toyota and John Deere have said they will halt work at plants near China's port of Tianjin where huge explosions last week killed more than 100 people.

Toyota's production lines will be closed until the end of Wednesday while John Deere suspended work indefinitely.
Renault also said its car deliveries in China may fall in August and September after the blast burned 1,500 of its imported cars.
And Volkswagen said 2,700 of its cars were damaged.
Evacuation advisories have been issued for the area around the blast site.
The site is likely to have housed hundreds of tonnes of highly toxic chemicals.
Toyota said more than 50 of its staff were injured.
At least 114 people died in the explosions, officials said on Sunday, and more than 700 have needed hospital treatment.
The blasts on Wednesday came during holidays for Toyota workers, so there has been no impact on production so far at its three lines near the affected area, the Japanese carmaker said in a statement.
"However, due to ongoing evacuation advisories, none of the three lines at Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co Ltd" will be in operation between 17 and 19 August, Toyota said.
US company John Deere also suspended operations near Tianjin after some of its workers were injured and several buildings were damaged.
The maker of tractors and agricultural machinery said it was halting work indefinitely.
A small number of employees were injured, and windows and doors at some of the company's plant had been blown out, a spokesman said.
The full scope of the damage is not yet established as the evacuation has blocked staff from returning to assess the plant.
The John Deere plant in Tianjin primarily manufactures agricultural and construction equipment as well as engines for the Asian market.


The BBC's director of news has denied accusations the corporation was biased in its general election coverage, saying it was "scrupulously impartial".

James Harding said "the fabled left-wing bias" was "unfair and unfounded", and was "hard to take seriously" given the Conservative victory.
He said the argument the BBC was too right-wing was "equally implausible".
He added although politicians had complained about the issue, the public had not "in any meaningful numbers".
"I was quite astonished by the ferocity and frequency of complaints from all parties," Mr Harding said at a Voice of the Listener and Viewer conference.
"I was struck by how many politicians and spokespeople paid lip service to the idea of the BBC's editorial independence, but, nonetheless, did think it was their place to say what should be leading the news."
During the election campaign, UKIP's Nigel Farage complained about his party's treatment at not being invited to the BBC's Question Time leaders' debate.
"I believe they are guilty of blatant prejudice," he told LBC radio.
Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen also complained over the audience composition for the Question Time special programme, which some newspapers claimed was biased in favour of Labour and Liberal Democrat voters.
"This confirms what we have known for a long time - the unashamed left-wing bias of the BBC," Mr Bridgen said.
'Unhappy coincidence'
Mr Harding said he "got it in the ear" from all political parties.
"Labour was angry about the focus on the SNP, the Tories regularly questioned our running orders and editorial decisions, the Lib Dems felt they weren't getting sufficient airtime and the Greens complained about being treated like a protest movement not a party," he said.
He added it was an "unhappy coincidence" charter renewal and the level of the BBC's future funding would be decided so soon after the election.
Mr Harding said "people from all parties made the connection between their dissatisfaction with the election coverage and the fact that the next government will set the licence fee".
The journalist admitted the corporation - along with other media organisations - "allowed the poll numbers to infect our thinking", leading to too much "coalitionology".
"With the benefit of hindsight, we would all have been better off with less discussion of deals and allowed the dissection of policy to speak for itself," he said.
BBC figures showed the corporations' election coverage reached 9 in 10 UK adults in the last week of the campaign, with the BBC News website used by a record 31.2 million global browsers on 8 May.


Poseidon Adventure director Ronald "Ronnie" Neame has died in hospital in Los Angeles at the age of 99.

Paying tribute to a directing great
The British film-maker, who died on Wednesday, never recovered after suffering from a fall, said family friend and BBC correspondent Peter Bowes.
London-born Neame also worked as a cinematographer on films including Blithe Spirit and In Which We Serve.
He directed The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, starring Dame Maggie Smith.
She won the best actress Oscar in 1969 for her portrayal of the inspirational teacher of six young girls.
Neame also co-wrote screenplays including Great Expectations and Brief Encounter.
Classic disaster film The Poseidon Adventure, released in 1972 and co-directed with Irwin Allen, starred Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine and Shelley Winters and was mauled by critics.
Speaking to the BBC in 2006, he said he was surprised by its enduring appeal adding that he "never believed that it was more than just an average picture".
He was also critical of modern film-making saying movies had "become too frenetic, partly because the stories are not good enough".
"So they try to make up for their lack of good characterisation and storytelling by quick cutting and frenetic use of the camera," he added.
"And I think that's a pity."


England missed the chance for a series whitewash as Pakistan earned a consolation four-wicket win in the fifth one-day international in Cardiff.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Chasing 303, Pakistan slipped to 77-3 before Sarfraz Ahmed (90) and Shoaib Malik (77) shared 163.
Despite a late wobble, the tourists got home with 10 balls to spare.
England's 302-9 came via 87 from Jason Roy and Ben Stokes' 75, but they took only 42 runs off the last eight overs in a slide of five wickets for 64.
They were stifled by some impressive pace bowling from Hasan Ali, who took 4-60, and Mohammad Amir (3-50).
Eoin Morgan's men also gifted wickets as a result of their desire to attack whatever the situation - a new approach to one-day cricket that has brought a dramatic improvement and spectacular results since the 2015 World Cup, including the record-breaking total of 444-3 in the third ODI.
England end the series as 4-1 winners, missing out on a first 5-0 home whitewash, and complete their summer with a T20 at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Pakistan, outplayed throughout the series, were firmly on the back foot when the extra pace of Mark Wood bowled Babar Azam and had Azhar Ali caught behind in the same over.
But Sarfraz and Malik combined to compile the highest Pakistan fourth-wicket partnership in an ODI against England.
When on nine, Malik offered a difficult chance to a diving Joe Root at short cover but, apart from that, the England attack had few answers.
Sarfraz, favouring the leg side, dished out some particularly brutal treatment to debutant left-arm spinner Liam Dawson.
Malik played the supporting role, but followed Sarfraz in needlessly holing out off Dawson and, when a Jonny Bairstow direct hit ran out Mohammad Nawaz, Pakistan had lost three wickets for 26 runs.
With 37 still required, Mohammad Rizwan and Wales-born Imad Wasim absorbed the pressure and ensured there was no further drama, delighting a large contingent of raucous Pakistan supporters in the crowd.
England once again shuffled their side, leaving out spinners Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali partly because of the grey conditions in Cardiff and also to look at Hampshire's Dawson before the winter tours to Bangladesh and India.
If the amount of turn in the surface showed selecting only one spinner to be a mistake - Pakistan left-armer Imad was particularly effective for figures of 1-33 - then the visiting batsmen ensured Dawson endured a mixed debut.
Sarfraz swept and used his feet to hit through the leg side, while Malik lofted two huge sixes.
Although Dawson would eventually remove both men, he and the recalled Chris Jordan went for a combined 122 from 15.2 overs.
Still, it was posting a score that was no more than par that ultimately led to England's defeat.
While Roy sparkled off his pads and down the ground, and Stokes peppered the boundary after a slow start - the first 32 deliveries of his 76-ball stay yielded only 12 runs - the imposing total that looked likely at 170-4 from 30 overs did not materialise.
Bairstow pulled Umar Gul to deep square leg, Stokes lapped Hasan to short fine leg, Chris Woakes played on off the same bowler, Dawson miscued Amir to mid-wicket and David Willey was caught in the deep on the leg side.
With Hasan and Amir cleverly bowling the ball into the pitch, England were left to bat out the overs, falling short of a score good enough to complete the clean sweep.
England captain Eoin Morgan: "There are no regrets - it was an opportunity to get Liam Dawson onto the international stage. It was important looking ahead to the winter in case we go to three spinners. I'm very proud of this group of players, they've been exceptional over the summer."
Man of the series Joe Root: "We've still got areas where we can improve going into this winter and then the Champions Trophy. You want the guys to go out, express themselves and play their natural way. The more they can do that, the better."
Pakistan skipper Azhar Ali: "We wanted to finish on a high, we've had a tough tour. We didn't bowl well to start with but we held it back to a total that was reachable. There are a lot of positive signs, we just need to play good cricket consistently."


League One side Millwall have signed striker Harry Smith from Folkestone Invicta for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old, who has been on trial with the Lions this summer, has agreed a two-year contract at The Den.
Smith scored 13 goals as Folkestone won the Ryman League South Division last season and becomes Millwall's fifth signing of the transfer window.
"Harry has the attributes to be a very good footballer but he has a lot to improve on," boss Neil Harris said.

Disabled teenagers face "unacceptable" hurdles to accessing further education in Wales, a solicitor representing families has claimed.

Many are only offered places at local mainstream day colleges, despite more suitable specialist residential places being empty.
Solicitor Michael Imperato said the situation was a "hidden scandal".
The Welsh Government said it was committed to giving everyone access to education.
Under the current application process, managed by Careers Wales on behalf of the Welsh Government, a student has to apply to their local FE college first.
A specialist college is then only considered if their needs cannot be met by the mainstream college and there is currently no right of appeal.
Some families are taking legal advice to challenge the system to get their children places at colleges they say are more suitable for their needs.
Mr Imperato, who has represented families, said disabled learners in Wales were a "forgotten group".
He told the BBC Wales Today programme disabled students were being pushed towards colleges that might not be suitable for them.
"There's no objectivity in the system in assessing their needs; there are no rights of appeal. In my view it's a hidden scandal in Welsh education."
Catrin James, 20, from Cardiff, has learning disabilities. Her parents wrote to First Minister Carwyn Jones after trying to get her into a residential college.
They felt their local college would not meet her needs and a residential place at Bridgend College would increase her independence.
Catrin found out just before term started she had a place at Weston House, a specialist residential centre in the college grounds.
She said: "I felt very nervous before I came here because I didn't know if I could go to Bridgend or not.
"But then when I heard I could come here I felt really happy and settled in really quickly, and my nerves went completely."
Catrin's mother Rhian said many people are told by officials they "have no hope."
There are five FE colleges in Wales which offer specialist residential provision, including Weston House in Bridgend.
Weston House said it currently has 13 spare places out of a maximum of 35.
Ruth Thomas, chairwoman of Natspec, the membership organisation of specialist further education colleges, said some young people were having to wait too long to get funding decisions from the Welsh Government.
"For a young person with additional needs such delays cause a tremendous stress on the entire family," she said.
The Welsh Government said ministers considered applications and made every effort to respond in a timely fashion.
A new Additional Learning Needs Bill will be presented to the Assembly in December to make it more clear what the Welsh Government will fund.


A cross-party group of peers has dropped a second attempt to add the so-called "snoopers' charter" to the government's counter-terrorism bill.

Lords King, Blair, Carlile and West wanted measures on communications data, rejected by the Lib Dems in 2012, to be included in the bill, saying they were vital tools for combating terrorism.
But they withdrew their amendment and it did not go to a vote.
The counter-terrorism bill will give new powers to UK security services.
It will also allow the home secretary to impose temporary exclusion orders on British terror suspects.
The legislation had already cleared its first hurdle in the House of Lords, and undergone detailed scrutiny in committee.
During the first of two days of report-stage scrutiny, Lord King, a Conservative former defence secretary, said there was a "significant gap," exposed by the recent Paris shootings, which could be plugged by a temporary stop-gap measure.
But he said that without the required support the amendment to add communications data powers was doomed to fail.
He said: "We will lose an opportunity to put in place a temporary stop-gap measure that could have reduced the threat to our nation from terrorism at the present time.
"We just have to pray that we don't pay too high a price for that."
Along with former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lord Blair, former Lib Dem independent reviewer of anti-terror laws Lord Carlile and former Labour security minister Lord West, Lord King wanted to add whole sections of the defeated Communications Data Bill to the counter-terrorism legislation.
The proposed amendments sought to require internet service providers to log more of what people do online and to make that data more easily accessible to law enforcement and security services.
They scaled back the number of agencies that could demand access to the data from the hundreds included in the original bill to just three: the police and the two security services.
Opponents of the so-called snoopers' charter say it would amount to mass surveillance of internet communications by the state.
The Counter Terrorism Bill also includes a requirement on universities and councils to take steps to counter radicalisation.
It also includes:
Under the exclusion orders proposal, Home Secretary Theresa May would be able to sign an order to ban a suspected extremist from returning to the UK, for up to two years at a time.
The individual could return if they agreed to some kind of investigation or monitoring arrangements to ensure they were not a threat.
Labour has called for a judge to have a role when the orders are imposed, a view echoed by David Anderson QC, the government's independent reviewer of terror legislation.


A two-year-old girl has died after she was struck by a car that failed to stop at the scene in Dublin's Phoenix Park.

It happened on the North Road at about 18:25 local time on Sunday.
The child was taken to the Children's University Hospital in Temple Street in a serious condition and was pronounced dead during the early hours of Monday.
A 24-year-old man who was arrested a short time after the collision remains in custody. He is being questioned at Blanchardstown Garda (police) station.


Martin Boyle has signed a new two-year contract extension at Hibernian.

The 24-year-old forward moved to Easter Road on loan from Dundee in January 2015, making the move permanent in the following summer.
Boyle scored nine goals this season as Hibs won the Championship and promotion to the Premiership.
"He can play in a variety of positions and always gives 100%, and his pace is a great asset to have," said manager Neil Lennon.
"His game isn't just about pace, he can also score goals, lay on assists and is able to help us transition from defence to attack."
The news comes the day after Hibs confirmed that defender Liam Fontaine is staying on for another season.
The 31-year-old former Bristol City centre-back has been at the club since 2014 and has played 98 games, including last year's Scottish Cup final triumph.


Northern Ireland will take on New Zealand in a friendly encounter at Windsor Park on 2 June.

The Belfast game will be used as preparation for a 2018 World Cup qualifier away against Azerbaijan eight days later.
"The players will need a game at that time as some of their seasons will have finished as early as the end of April," said NI manager MIchael O'Neill.
"We'll use it sensibly and get as many of the squad on the pitch as possible."
Northern Ireland beat Azerbaijan 4-0 in their last qualifier in November and sit second in Group C.
O'Neill revealed that preparations for the trip to Azerbaijan will include two training camps in Britain before the game against the All Whites, followed by an overseas training camp.
He added: "I wanted a home game following our first two camps and it will come at a good time for us. It's not too close to the Azerbaijan game and it will help to keep the players sharp."
It is also a warm-up game for New Zealand as they prepare for the Confederations Cup in Russia, where they will face the hosts, Portugal and Mexico in the group stage.
New Zealand captain Winston Reid, who plays at centre-back for West Ham, is one of their best known players along with Chris Wood, the striker currently topping the scoring charts for Leeds United.


Wolverhampton is the least prosperous area in the UK, according to findings from an international think-tank.

The prosperity index was compiled by the Legatum Institute and is based on data from 170 locations across the country.
According to the organisation, prosperity was measured by average incomes and happiness levels.
The Black Country borough of Sandwell was ranked second-last in terms of prosperity.
In addition, Blackpool, Liverpool and East Derbyshire were ranked in the bottom five.
With the exception of the Outer Hebrides, the top five most prosperous areas in Britain are in London, according to the index.
The findings are based on local GDP figures from 2011 and the Office for National Statistics well-being data from 2013-14.
Sian Hansen, executive director at the Legatum Institute, said: "The data shows that Wolverhampton is the least prosperous part of the UK because its citizens report the lowest levels of satisfaction with their lives.
"Some of the most prosperous areas of the country are those where, regardless of their income, people have the opportunity to lead healthy, fulfilling and prosperous lives."
Wolverhampton residents and workers were split about the study's findings.
"I think it's a bit harsh to be bottom," said 23-year-old Shane Parker, from Coseley.
"It's not as bad as some people think, there are places in Birmingham that are much worse.
Angela Scrivens, 42, from Bilston, said: "I think the town itself is quite dull, but the people can be quite happy.
"It's gone through a rough patch lately, but the town centre is being done up, and hopefully that will bring in more jobs and people."
Sharon Kiteley, 47, from Dudley, said: "Whenever I've looked around I've always seen happy smiling faces, so I can't believe it's come last.
Responding to the findings, the leader of the City of Wolverhampton Council, Councillor Roger Lawrence, said: "Whilst it's fair to say that Wolverhampton took a battering during the recession, we're now seeing some really positive signs of recovery.
"The data used is from 2011 and 2013-14. Wolverhampton's come a long way since then and as we approach 2016 there's a lot going on in our city."


A Canadian sex-toy maker has been accused of tracking data on the intimate habits of thousands of its customers.

The Ottawa-based company, Standard Innovation, has agreed a collective payout up to a total of C$4m (Â£2.4m) for users in the US, where the lawsuit was filed.
But where does that leave other sex-toy users?
Are there new forms of protection that people should now consider?
In Standard Innovation's case, an app was at the root of the problem.
The We-Connect app connected to its We-Vibe vibrator, and the data collected was sent back to the company, including details on temperatures, settings and usage.
A class-action lawsuit was filed in September 2016 by customers who alleged the company violated their privacy rights.
This week, the company agreed its payout for US customers who bought the product before 26 September last year.
Under the deal, those who used the We-Connect app will be paid up to C$10,000 each.
Customers who bought the toy, but did not activate the accompanying app, will receive up to US$199 each.
The settlement only applies to customers in the US, and Standard Innovation says it has since enhanced its privacy notice and app security.
According to Ann Summers, a British retail chain that specialises in sex toys, the market is becoming increasingly hi-tech.
"Our company has been around since the early 1970s," said spokeswoman Kyrsty Hazell-Page. "Back then, products didn't even vibrate. Then they moved from battery-powered to USB-charged, then came apps and now virtual reality is the next big thing."
The We-Connect app allowed users to control the device's intensity via their mobile phone.
It also enabled a user to allow another user to activate the product from afar via Bluetooth technology.
Standard Innovation said the data it collected was for market-research purposes, but some users felt violated, as the information is particularly personal.
The lawsuit also voiced concerns that the information could be linked to the email address they provided to the company.
The company has since said there has been no breach of our customers' personal information or data.
It says it has also changed its privacy practices, and says "data is used in aggregate and anonymous form that does not personally identify any individual".
At Ann Summers, Ms Hazell-Page said the industry was learning from the case: "We have to be really mindful as it is really important that we protect customers' safety and data in everything we do."
The retain chain, which sells We-Vibe products, said, "We are satisfied with the security changes undertaken by them in September".
Two hackers at Def Con, a US hacking convention, gave a talk at the August 2016 event called The Internet of Vibrating Things, in which they demonstrated how data is sent from the We-Vibe device to Standard Innovation.
The pair, who go by the names of Goldfisk and Follower, also showed how third parties could intercept the data, or even take control of the vibrator and commit what they called "potentially sexual assault".
"Cybersecurity issues are now in all area of life," said cybersecurity specialist Jessica Barker, who runs website Cyber.uk.
More and more products are being invented with internet compatibility, from light switches to fridges, creating what has called "the internet of things".
"In general, the more connect we are the more this opens us up to vulnerabilities, which all sorts of people could take advantage of," said Ms Barker.
In the US, parents have even been warned about the possibility of baby monitors being hacked.
New EU data-protection laws are expected to have an effect, as, from May 2018, companies could face huge fines if they misuse personal data or fail be transparent about its usage.
The law is designed to protect EU citizens but companies based outside the union will also have to comply if they are serving EU consumers.
Earlier this month, the Wikileaks website published allegations that the CIA had developed ways to listen in on smartphones and smart-TV microphones.
However, Ms Barker says intelligence agencies "do not have the resource or the will" to be monitoring the average person's sex life.
"What people need to be more concerned about is cybercrime," she said. "If a product can take video footage, this could be used to extort you. We have seen this already in what we call sextortion cases."
This is when a person consents to sending someone sexual images but the recipient turns out to be a fraudster, or possibly part of a criminal gang, who then threatens to release the footage unless they receive a payoff.
Clicking on a suspect file sent via email can also lead to malware infecting a computer, and could allow someone to hack into the machine's camera.
This is not a new crime. One of the most famous cases came in 2013, when Jared James Abrahams, a 20-year-old computer-science student from California, hacked and threatened two dozen women, including a winner of the Miss Teen USA beauty pageant.  He was later sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Ms Barker recommends covering the camera lens on your laptop, either by using a sticker, a piece of tape or a widget sold for this purpose.
Even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is thought to take this precautionary measure.
Kellyanne Conway, an advisor to US President Trump, was mocked earlier in the week for comments suggesting that microwaves could be used as cameras to spy on people.
"I'm not Inspector Gadget," she later told US news network CNN. "I don't believe people are using their microwave to spy on the Trump campaign. However, I am not in the job of having evidence."
Technology website Wired looked into the matter and concluded: "Microwave ovens are not an effective spy tool."
Wired referred specifically to the idea of microwaves as cameras. It said the microwave would have to have an outward-facing webcam built into its design before it could be taken over by outside forces.
There are no known microwaves with webcams on the market.
However, the idea has been mooted on online forum Reddit, where a user once asked if one could be created so that you could check on your dinner from a device in another room.


India has successfully conducted a fourth test launch of its nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile.

The Agni-V missile was launched from a site off the east coast on Monday.
It has a range of more than 5,000km (3,100 miles), potentially bringing targets in China within striking distance.
President Pranab Mukherjee tweeted that the launch "will enhance our strategic and deterrence  capabilities".
India launches long-range missile
India conducted the first test launch of the Agni V in 2012, the second in 2013 and the third one in 2015, PTI news agency reported.
The Agni-V is 17.5m (57ft) tall and solid-fuelled. It has three stages and a launch weight of 50 tonnes.
The missiles are among India's most sophisticated weapons. Agni means "fire" in Hindi and Sanskrit.


Ireland's president has raised the prospect of Pope Francis visiting Northern Ireland next year.

Pope Francis has promised to visit Ireland for the World Meeting of Families in August 2018.
Michael D Higgins held a 15-minute audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Monday, then met the secretary of state of the Vatican.
Afterwards, he said "there is a better prospect and more scope" for a papal visit to Northern Ireland.
Mr Higgins said that during the longer meeting with secretary of state Cardinal Petro Parolin there was the opportunity to discuss "the changed circumstances of the last papal visit and the different circumstances now".
He added: "I have to say as well that, in all of that, in that second longer meeting, we were able to discuss specifically the importance of the Brexit negotiations in relation to the peace process.
"I think there was general agreement that circumstances were quite different now, and therefore the difficulties that might have been anticipated years ago, these circumstances were changed."
When pressed if Pope Francis and Cardinal Parolin both felt that circumstances had changed, President Higgins said: "Yes, there is agreement that circumstances have changed and that there is a better prospect and more scope."
Last year, the late Martin McGuinness, then Northern Ireland's deputy first minister, said he believed Pope Francis would cross the border and visit Northern Ireland in August 2018.
He told journalists: "I've been around a long time and I know how these things work."
A spokesman for First Minister Arlene Foster said if the Pope visited Northern Ireland as a head of state, she would meet him.
However, the Irish Catholic press office refused to confirm the visit would take place at the time.
According to a statement, President Higgins and the Pope also discussed migration, climate change, global poverty and the forthcoming Brexit negotiations during Monday's meeting.
The president and his wife presented Pope Francis with a climate bell designed by the Irish artist Vivienne Roche.
In return, the Pope Francis presented the president and his wife with medallions with an inscription of Isaiah, in which the Old Testament prophet refers to the desert becoming a fertile field, and the field then becoming a forest.


Concerns over a Trump presidency are set to dominate the early days of global climate talks in Morocco.

Some 20,000 participants are meeting in Marrakech for two weeks, starting on Monday, to agree new rules to limit warming on the planet.
These plans were boosted when the Paris Climate Agreement came into force last week.
However Mr Trump, who calls climate change a "hoax", has vowed to cancel the deal if elected.
Signed by 193 countries in the French capital last December, the Paris Agreement is now international law, having been ratified by at least 55 countries representing over 55% of global emissions.
The UN deal, hammered out after years of failed talks, aims to keep the rise in global temperatures under 2 degrees Celsius by the end of this century, and "will pursue efforts" to limit the rise to 1.5C.
When countries put forward their own plans, or intended nationally determined contributions (INDCS) on what they will do to cut emissions and transition to renewables, much of the detail about how to verify these plans was left vague.
This will be one of the tasks that negotiators from all over the world will face in Marrakech at the Conference of the Parties (COP22) over the next two weeks.
But the early days of the talks will be dominated by the prospect of Donald Trump gaining the White House.
Earlier this year Mr Trump said he would "cancel" the Paris agreement if elected. The deal was "bad for US business" and would allow "foreign bureaucrats control over how much energy we use", he said.
Concern over the rise of Mr Trump helped galvanise the global push to bring the Paris agreement into force.  Now that it is operational and binding on countries, taking the US out of the deal would not be easy.
"The Paris agreement prohibits any exit for a period of three years, plus a year-long notice period, so there will be four stable years," said Segolene Royal, the French environment minister who played a role in negotiating the treaty.
While Mr Trump would not be able to withdraw easily from Paris, his scepticism about climate science and his determination to revive the coal industry put him at odds with most international leaders.
"Electing a climate science conspiracy theorist like Trump would make America a global laughing stock and embarrassment, all the while relinquishing our leadership role in the world," said Khalid Potts from US environmental group, the Sierra Club.
"The ice caps don't negotiate, and neither do rising seas. Donald Trump's moral failure to acknowledge the climate crisis might very well mean planetary disaster if he is elected."
While negotiators await the outcome of the US election, there are several other factors that might also slow progress in these talks.
One key element that might hold things up is the fact that so far only 100 have ratified the Paris agreement. There is a concern that it would be unfair if these early adopters had the chance to set the future rules under which all countries would have to operate.
"The momentum of the entry into force will help to push for progress in discussing the overall implementation process," Dennis Taenzler from adelphi, a climate change think tank, told BBC News.
"There is some reason to expect that key decisions will be postponed until additional parties will have ratified as well."
Another big question for the Marrakech meeting is whether countries will see it as an opportunity to push for greater action and go further than they did in Paris.
In recent days, an analysis from the UN Environment Programme suggested that the national plans on the table will need to have their level of ambition increased by about 25% if the Paris targets are to be met.
There are some positive signs. Last month at a meeting in Rwanda, countries agreed to phase out the use of HFCs, gases with significant global warming potential.
International aviation has taken the first, limited steps to put in place a global limit on aircraft emissions. In recent days China has announced a plan to tighten the level of carbon emissions per unit of GDP.
"There are actually some remarkable things going on, even in North America, with Canada introducing a carbon tax. Canada, US and Mexico had a remarkable tri-party agreement on methane for example," said Andrew Steer from the World Resources Institute.
"You've got a surprising number of countries around the world that are putting in place carbon pricing - something like 40 countries have committed to do that. Already there are 200 million Chinese under a price on carbon, and by this time next year we hope there will be 1.1 billion Chinese under a price on carbon."
The Marrakech meeting will also see significant debate about the format for a future "global stock take" - a five yearly review of progress that countries have made against the targets that they have signed up to. It is a key part of the Paris agreement, designed to ratchet up ambition over time.
There will also be reviews on finance to see if richer countries have made progress on the promise to deliver $100bn in climate aid to developing nations by 2020.
One issue that could see sparks fly is the question of loss and damage. The question of compensation for the long term impacts of climate change is one of the most contentious as poor countries see it as a moral obligation of the rich, while the developed world is extremely wary of establishing a legal liability for the damage caused by their greenhouse gas emissions.
It has been lurking on the sidelines since it almost derailed the entire UN talks process back in 2013. It will be interesting to see if it causes similar rancour in Marrakech.

A micro-budget Scottish fantasy is to be pitched to film professionals at the Edinburgh International Film Festival this weekend.

Scenes for The Gael King have already been shot in Airth, near Falkirk, and other locations in Scotland.
It is being made by Fellowship Film, which involves brothers Philip and Matthew Todd and their cousins John Walkinshaw and Tom Walkinshaw.
The feature's plot centres on a fictional king, Alpin Mac Eachdach.
Matthew Todd said: "Alpin, King of Dalriata, must overcome the impossible to save his brother, unite his kingdom and defeat the great evil that has arisen in Dorcha Forest.
"The film is set and being produced entirely in Scotland.
"We have one production office in Edinburgh and one in Glasgow. The primary location base is in Airth, but the film will include some of Scotland's finest countryside."
Family-run Fellowship Film are among independent film-makers who have been invited to pitch their productions to industry professionals at EIFF's Works in Progress event on Sunday.
Mr Todd said: "We are at a very interesting moment in the project where the director and producer have recently returned from the Cannes Film Market where we received a very positive response to the film.
"Even more exciting is that we were accepted into the Edinburgh International Film Festival Works in Progress event.
"We are holding out for an international distribution deal and have big plans for The Gael King."
The film-maker added: "Meanwhile, we have a film to finish.
"The last block of filming will be pick-ups and an epic prologue where we will digitally recreate the real and ancient fortress of Dunadd."
Dunadd was constructed 2,000 years ago on Moine Mhor, a large bog at the southern end of Kilmartin Glen in Argyll.
The fort was a power base for Gaelic kings in the 500s to 800s AD.


Tony Smith's Warrington maintained their perfect start to the season and went top of Super League by beating Wakefield, who are coached by his older brother Brian.

Tries for Ben Currie and Kevin Penny gave the hosts an early lead.
Craig Hall and Anthony Tupou touched down for Wakefield either side of a Kurt Gidley try for Wire.
But two tries from Chris Sandow and one from Currie secured a home win, despite Jonny Molloy's late try for Wildcats.
A difficult night for Wakefield began before kick-off, with full-back Ben Jones-Bishop suffering an injury in the warm-up.
Both sides struggled to create chances with ball in hand, but a string of Wakefield errors allowed the hosts to control field position throughout the first half.
Warrington dominated the game in all areas after the interval as they earned their third successive win, but their celebrations were dampened when highly impressive half-back Gidley was taken off after taking a blow to the head.
Warrington head coach Tony Smith:
"The results are okay but we know there is a lot more to come.
"A few players were off their game and we haven't quite hit the straps yet.
"We lacked some tempo but Wakefield played very well. They are a huge improvement on last year and I'm not saying that because my elder brother is their coach."
Wakefield head coach Brian Smith:
"We self inflicted at times and there was some very loose passing at the start and end of the game.
"But we competed very hard and if anyone looks at the scoreline they will think it lopsided but it wasn't.
"I have to give a big rap to my younger brother with Warrington having the makings of a very good team.
"If they are not up there or thereabouts at the end of the season I will be very surprised."
Warrington: Russell; Penny, Evans, Atkins, Lineham; Gidley, Sandow; Hill, Clark, Sims, Currie, Hughes, Westerman.
Replacements: Dwyer, King, Julien, Cox.
Wakefield: Hall; Lyne, Arundel, Walton, Johnstone; Miller, Finn; Scruton, Howarth, England, Molloy, Ashurst, Simon.
Replacements: Sio, Tupou, Arona, Annakin.
Referee: Richard Silverwood


A scientific notebook compiled by World War Two codebreaker Alan Turing has sold for $1m in New York.

It is one of very few manuscripts from the head of the team that cracked the Germans' Enigma code.
The handwritten notes, dating from 1942 when he worked at Bletchley Park, were entrusted to mathematician Robin Gandy after Turing's death.
The notebook was sold at Bonhams for $1,025,000 (Â£700,850) to an unnamed buyer.
BBC iWonder â€“ Timeline of Alan Turingâ€™s life
Mr Gandy deposited Turing's papers at the Archive Centre at King's College in Cambridge in 1977.
But Mr Gandy retained the 56-page notebook because of a deeply personal message written in the blank centre pages of the notebook which he wanted to keep private.
The notes remained hidden among personal effects until after his death.
Scholar Andrew Hodges, said: "Alan Turing was parsimonious with his words and everything from his pen has special value.
"This notebook shines extra light on how, even when he was enmeshed in great world events, he remained committed to free-thinking work in pure mathematics."
Turing killed himself in 1954 after hormone treatment to "cure" his homosexuality which he was undergoing as an alternative to imprisonment.
The story of his life was told in the 2014 Oscar-winning film The Imitation Game.
