Sporting events cancelled due to London riots

LONDON: Police ordered football clubs in London to postpone matches as violence and looting spread across the British capital with buildings being set ablaze.

As police struggled to contain the spiraling disorder, League Cup matches due to take place at West Ham and Charlton on Tuesday were postponed due to security resources being stretched.

England's friendly against the Netherlands on Wednesday at Wembley Stadium was also cancelled.

Meanwhile the Indian cricket which is scheduled to play a test match against England in Birmingham has been directed to not leave their hotel.
