Bernie Ecclestone has confirmed a three-year extension of Monzas deal to host the Italian Grand Prix, ensuring the historic race remains on the calendar until at least 2019.The future of the race had been in doubt after drawn-out negotiations between Ecclestone and the president of Italys motorsport federation Angelo Sticchi Damiani this year. It is the first time the Automobile Club dItalia had taken charge of negotiations with Ecclestone and they were made to sweat as the F1 CEO threatened to move the race to Imola or drop it completely.However, the ACI stood firm and insisted it was Monza or nothing, leading to the three-year extension that was announced on Friday. Speaking during a press conference on Friday afternoon, Ecclestone said the contract was in the process of being drawn up but the deal had been done.Were getting all the small details that are important in a contract together and well sign it, Ecclestone said. So theres no problem with having a race here at all. It will be here. The contract is only going to be for three years but hopefully were here for another hundred years.The Italian Grand Prix has been on the calendar since 1950 and has taken place at Monza every year with exception of the 1980 event, which was held at Imola.

Anderson, on the mend after a stress fracture of his right shoulder blade, told Sky Sports on day one of the drawn first Test that he is hopeful of returning to action in Visakhapatnam on Thursday.But with only two days of practice scheduled before the next Test - and with Englands spinners having acquitted themselves well in the series opener - Hussain says the tourists should not make changes for the sake of it. Mike Atherton says the drawn first Test will feel like a win for England England are going to need their three spinners in the second Test - they probably wont need Jimmy Anderson, the former England captain told Sky Sports.I can see the same side being played. I cant see any reason to change the side and then maybe Jimmy Anderson comes in for the game after in Mohali.From what we hear, Visakhapatnam, from ball one will spin; it wont be ridiculous spin like Dhaka or Chittagong but conditions will be completely different from here.

We hear from captains Alastair Cook and Virat Kohli after the drawn first Test In contrast, Rashids upturn in form coupled with 113 runs on debut from opener Haseeb Hameed have helped to boost England in the wake of their 1-1 series draw with Bangladesh.Hussain told Sky Sports after day four that Hameed already looks like he belongs at Test level and, after the contest was over, said the 19-year-old will only benefit from batting with Alastair Cook.England have tried a string of opening combinations since Andrew Strauss retirement but it looks as though theyve found a partner for Cook in Hameed - but it is only one game.He answered his questions in the post-match interview as if hed been around for years. He is unflappable, he is very calm. England opener Haseeb Hameed reflects on his Test debut It did him some good not playing on the two pitches in Bangladesh because he might have been wrongly assessed.Instead hes been around the set-up for a while and the team has taken to him. Hameed knows what he wants in the nets and guys like that generally go on and have good careers.Hell learn from Cook - hes got the greatest master he could wish for at the other end - but hell do it his way.Watch the second Test between India and England at Visakhapatnam live on Sky Sports 2 from 3.30am on Thursday.
