they we re named for the cup in melbourne. they were tied at the end of three holes and it was declared a draw. tiger woods coming up a joint second place at the weekend is releasing —— relishing his return to form an it's a return to one of his favourite hau nts a return to one of his favourite haunts as he prepares to play the arnold palmer invitational on the weekend. for me to go from not knowing whether i would be able to play the game again to i might be able to play at the tournament level, i might make a couple of cuts. i might be able to possibly get myself into the mix. oh, i am in the mix. so there is a process and evolution to it. it's been quick but still, i have to say, ijust enjoyed all of this because at one point, i wasn't even a thought. i didn't ever think of playing out here. plenty of champions league reaction at our website. on a night where sevilla went through and manchester united went through and manchester united went out. all of us, thank you for joining us. plenty to talk about in the weather s

british number one johanna konta past lewis hamilton in melbourne. british number onejohanna konta has reached the fourth round at the miami open, with a big win over police of belgian. the australian prime minister says that he shocked and bitterly disappointed, the head of cricket australia has apologised for the ball tampering scandal that has marred the test with south africa, steve smith has been suspended for one match and find his entire match the after admitting conspiring with cameron bancroft to manipulate the ball. smith was booed on to the ground as he came in to bat. australia were 59—4. lost his wicket forjust seven as australia put in a really lacklustre showing, bowled out forjust 107, losing the match by a massive 322 runs. all the talk of course was about what one back page down under called smith's shame. australians that i had been speaking to and had contact with today are the stated, feeling utterly let down by the way that their team has behaved. they don't like cheats, their captain has come out to admit he has cheated. it i

that is the sense we got from the press conference involving james sutherland in melbourne. he was acutely aware that he knew that the journalist wanted him to give him something concrete about what he was going to do and he probably knew that, saying that there would be an investigation might not sound that he was acting tough enough but from his perspective, you can see that he wa nts to his perspective, you can see that he wants to cover all the facts, he knew about this and who was ultimately responsible for taking any action, and it does seem, given the clamourfor any action, and it does seem, given the clamour for steve smith, the captain, to resign, that his position is under great peril, given that he said that he knew about this plan to tap with the ball in advance and in the press conference he gave at the end of the play at cape town he said he was embarrassed and very sorry and quite soon, he will have to a nswer sorry and quite soon, he will have to answer those questions from cricket australia's investigators as well. do we get any sense of what the australian

now, melbourne, the formula 1 season began with a blow for defending champion lewis hamilton, having taken a brilliant pole position, he ended up in second place after a spot of bad luck with the safety car allowed ferrari's sebastian vettel take the chequered flag. voiceover: for the fifth year in a row, lewis hamilton started from pole in melbourne, but he has only won twice at albert park. that statistic looked set to improve, as the mercedes driver opened up a three—second lead over the two ferraris. the only drama was unfolding behind him, max verstappen with an uncharacteristic mistake. romain grosjean forced to retire, missing out on five finish. his misfortune had unexpected consequences, while the car of the frenchman was being removed, all the other drivers had to slow down, sebastian vettel seized the opportunity to stop for fresh tyres; his ferrari team returned him to the track ahead of lewis hamilton. why didn't you tell me vettel was in the pits?! we thought we were safe, obviously, there is something wrong. overtaking was extremely difficult, sebastian vettel was ab

formula 1 is back, the cars reveal their early form ahead of the first race of the season in melbourne. and it is sport relief, there is a whole host of events taking place, we have also spoken with the double winter olympic champion lizzie yarnold, she will be involved later on and she will be telling us what her future in sport may hold. it is always hard to a nswer may hold. it is always hard to answer that question straightaway, my automatic response is, do you know what you are doing in four yea rs' know what you are doing in four years' time! plenty to come, we have to start with the international football weekend, the first of what could be two very important friendlies for the england manager gareth southgate as he looks to cement his thinking ahead of this summer's world cup. with a number of new faces in his squad, could someone force their way into a surprise seat on the plane to russia. we are in amsterdam, england will be taking on the netherlands, and there is plenty for gareth southgate to ponder. there is indeed, a hell of a lot for him to ponder, just three months out

the drivers and teams headed to melbourne this week to prepare with much fanfare. a great formula 1 season should leave you feeling shaken, rather than stirred. last year, stoffel vandoorne and fernando alonso could have been forgiven for wanting a stiff drink. they probably spent more time in this simulator than racing as their mclaren team was troubled by reliability. the new cap marks a return back to their historic papaya orange colour. alonso will hope it does not leave him red—faced. alonso will hope it does not leave him red-faced. there has been concern for many teams and also for us, but we addressed everything and the fact in the last couple of weeks, so we should be in a strong position for australia and you can capitalise on some of the things that may happen to the other teams. the field will be stacked against the spaniard, repeating this on the podium. but one man guaranteed to be drenched in the stuff is lewis hamilton. winning nine races last season saw hamilton. winning nine races last season saw him crowned champion for a fourth time and pre—

earlier i spoke to andrew mccormack, a sports reporter for seven news in melbourne. i began by asking whether he was surprised that cricket australia had not thus far announced any action against the team members. well, yes and no, to a certain extent. thank you for having me. i can tell you what, everybody to a man in australia has woken up absolutely outraged by what they have seen in cape town overnight. we are baying for blood this morning, most of the general public wants something to be done, and swift action to be taken by cricket australia. but they have given a stay of execution, as it were, to steve smith. with two days left of the test match it looks like he will walk onto the pitch in cape town tonight, day 4 of the test against south africa, still as australian captain. that is despite admitting to cheating. there is no bones about it. ball tampering is cheating. it was deliberate, it was premeditated, it was calculated, and it was notjust steve smith and cameron bancroft, who was caught on footage using a piece of tape to add adhesive to the rough side

still would have lost that series, australia probably needed their little trick of the trade, maybe in melbourne it did not work, but other than that, i don't think they required it. but i am pretty sure it has been going on for quite a while. and amid so much controversy, it is easy to forget that there is another test match to be played in this acrimonious series. australia, now trailing 2—1, will travel to johannesburg tomorrow, but it's their actions here that threaten to overshadow their tour of south africa. dan roan, bbc news, cape town. newsnight is coming up on bbc two. here's emily. tonight we will hear from tony blair on brexit and a senior member of corbyn‘s team respond to the charges of anti—semitism on labour. join me now on bbc two. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm holly hamilton. coming up on the programme. australia move out of cape town while investigators move in but are there now questions over ball tampering in the ashes? i can't believe that this hasn't happened before. i'm pretty sure it was going on througho
