Cricket corruption sentencing postponed

The judge presiding over the corruption case of the three former Pakistani cricketers has adjourned sentencing until tomorrow morning.

Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir have all been found guilty of conspiracy to cheat and conspiracy to obtain and accept corrupt payments, crimes which carry a maximum sentence of nine years in prison.

Mr Justice Cook heard from all three of the cricketers' lawyers throughout the day, before deciding that he needed to consider what punishments were required overnight.

Agent Mazhar Majeed has also been charged with the same offences.
