it didn't take england long. sterling was confident and spain looks like they might have blown england early on. but then raheem sterling scored his first international goal for three yea rs. first international goal for three years. there were a few chances that we re years. there were a few chances that were squandered in croatia last week but a second goal silenced that. sterling having to wait all that time frowning and go, a few made after scoring his first coming he had another. after half—time, spain came storming back. there was then a fortu nate came storming back. there was then a fortunate moment in goal, where he could have given away a penalty. spain were furious, but the referee said no to their appeals. with the last action, of an absorbing and thrilling game, ramos pulled one backin thrilling game, ramos pulled one back in injury time. with that, the referee blew for the final whistle. england had held on and it was backs to the wall for the majority of the second half. they were 3—0 up and th

southern england. it is going to feel cooler today. there are showers, not all of us will see them, the best of the sunshine will be across north wales and northern ireland, and you could see temperatures of 26 or 27. through the evening and overnight, those showers will fade. we will have more cloud coming in from the north sea across eastern areas. we have got a weather front coming in from the atlantic, which for the end of the night will be straddled across north—west scotland and northern ireland. tonight was my temperatures, roughly 10— 16. tomorrow, we start off with that cloud across north—west scotland and northern ireland. slowly through the day it will push east. it will wea ken day it will push east. it will weaken as it does. you could see the odd shower coming out of it in parts of eastern southern scotland. for the rest of the uk, lots of dry weather. as a result, temperatures will be higher. the maximum temperature in the south tomorrow will be about 2728, maybe 29. be high and th

reed england overachieved in this world cup no one ever expected england to get into the semifinals, despite all of the talk, it was never expected. and they can still overachieved, but he can hold his head up high, they have done better than they were expected of this young new team. this is a young and inexperienced team that done tremendously well and have united and are working well and for the first time, and 25 years, england, going into the world cup, attacking, not defensive, not, it is attacking, not defensive, not, it is a huge difference. 17 players on the england squad, the last world cup game. so it is quite shrinking, it is quite incredible does watching the game. there are all pundits, they are comrades on the sidelines. it isa they are comrades on the sidelines. it is a huge difference, whether we win or lose, we have done outstandingly well and it's fantastic, a good team that really made it exciting, and we look forward to the european cup in two is times, and will do well there as well. still a long way to go, you get a sense that people are still confident, they'r

england certainly togetherness. england certainly together winning the social media world cup in all aspects. all the videos. they are sensational. the entire competition and spirit and the support of england has been remarkable. you mentioned that they are fun. that look like they have the pressure of the entire world on them, like they are carrying everything on their shoulders. like this is all too much and it isjust ajob, this is all too much and it isjust a job, which it felt like in the past. when you listen to the old players, they talk about the fear of failure, the worrying about what the nation will say if you misstep. with them, they are having the time of their lives and backing by extension, we are all having the time of our lives watching them. those unicorns must take some inflating. you have experience of that? i do. they do take some puff. thank you so much. just to confirm, it is coming home. yet mac. -- yep. not such good news for britain's kyle edmund, though. he's been knocked out of wimbledon b

so what of england ? may perhaps win in the final. so what of england? they will have to try and lift themselves for the match that nobody wants to play in a third—place play—off against eltham in st petersburg on saturday. their fa ns in st petersburg on saturday. their fans came he was such belief that they would reach their first world cup final since 1966. i think a lot of us thought we would go out in the quarter—finals, but i am really proud of the team and how they performed. i think it is a very young team, i don't think it will be looking good going into the future. so proud of the way that they played, the football that they played, the football that they played, unbelievable. to get to a semi—final, we never expected it. played, unbelievable. to get to a semi—final, we never expected itm is hard to say right now you are happy,a is hard to say right now you are happy, a semi—final would have been a good result before the tournament but right now it feels different. the english fans here and millions backin the english fans here and

we have seen england shirts as well. we have seen england shirts as well. we do have plenty to celebrate. we had an rendition of football is coming home, we have not heard that here before. they are looking for another celebration with kyle edmund. he is taking on the three—time champion over on centre court. spurred on by the home fans winning the first set. we can go live there now. currently still one said and in the first game, kyle edmund leading 40—30. we will keep up on that and come back to it. him and fans certainly one another way to celebrate, but someone another way to celebrate, but someone who will not be anything celebrate,. the french open champion was knocked out in the third round earlier. another shock at this tournament this week. she was beaten by in the third round, chez fought back after trailing 5—2, but broke in the night game to stay alive in the decider. another match point on her way to victory. is amazing for me to be there. on the first day i was there but i was a little bit tired and i was trying too much. it is hard to

doesn't these two england players because eddie jones doesn't take these two england players because eddiejones doesn't take any rubbish? eddie jones is on a brief to win the world cup next year. it could start with danny cipriani, eddiejones would not have liked to see one of his plays with his picture all over the front pages. however, if eddie jones picture all over the front pages. however, if eddiejones feels danny cipriani's form means he will improve the england team in november and that he is the number—1 fly half, he will pick him for november. he at least has the chance to perform on the pitch. ashton doesn't have that opportunity. he needed to hit the ground running on his return from france. so too only to be available in october with two challenge cup games before the n series, he's up against it. i am struggling to see how can force his way in. thank you very much, chris. we are moving on to cricket now. england have madejust one change to the side who lost so spectacularly to india in the third test — they've recalled batsmanjames vince as cover forjohnny bairstow

and england expects. and gerryjackson is in newcastle for us where england fans are watching at the big screen. it is hot in nizhny novgorod, how hot is it in newcastle? well, they're saying around 23 degrees. i wouldn't be surprised if it is hotter here. if an england goal goes in here, 1800 will erupt withjoe. this is what they have waited four yea rs this is what they have waited four years for. when the fans gathered for the national anthem, they all stood up and all sang. i have never seen anything like it outside a stadium. they have all paid for a ticket to watch this game and england expects. what is, when you have been talking to the fan, they're optimistic, but what kind of scoreline are they expect something well, remember, these are england fa ns m ost well, remember, these are england fans most of them are wearing england shirts. they know that we didn't get beyond the group stage in the last world cup and we got knocked out of euro 2016 by iceland. but this is not the day to dwell on things

but this england team is very new, marcus ratchford was eight last time they won an england match in 2006. —— last time they won and knockout match. you can see today they are very chilled ahead of this game, and they spoke about writing their own history, leaving those failures behind. let's have a look at the stadium. 43,000 seats. 3000 england fa ns stadium. 43,000 seats. 3000 england fans here tonight officially, but with up to 6000 expected in moscow, and they will find themselves outnumbered by the very loud colombian fans who are hoping to get to their second consecutive quarterfinal at the world cup. natalie, thank you forjoining us. from moscow. here are today's fixtures. sweden will play switzerland and the other last 16 tie, then england against colombia at 7pm, with full commentary on five live. both british number one's are wimbledon today. it has been great forjoanna contact. she has made the start she wanted to against the russian earlier today. it just start she wanted to against the russian earlier today. itjust ended a few minutes ago. but she did not make it ea

a total of 287 for england. but current‘s day was just 287 for england. but current‘s day wasjust beginning. current 287 for england. but current‘s day was just beginning. current thought he had the jake lbw. two balls later and no need for technology. current load them in. a baby faced 20—year—old. 0ver load them in. a baby faced 20—year—old. over to india's skipper. so india were 76 — three at lunch with their captain and superstar virat kohli at the crease. but these are the swinging conditions where he has been posted before. initially, england went around him. rahane was the first to fall in and enthralling spell by then stokes. he will mix the next test because he is in court. —— he will miss the next test. but kohli was the one they wanted. it takes long minutes to create this chance. and longer still for dawid malan to regret not taking it. england dropped more catches. proving kohli was costly, having escaped on 21 he passed 50 and in case the man who had missed them wasn't feeling bad enough, dawid malan then drops him again. h

come on, england! england — world cup semifinalists. and they would face croatia — possibly a weary one after more extra time and penalties. this was a match too far for russia. at least they didn't have too far to get home. as for brazil, beaten by belgium and de bruyne. might have a go here. does! it's a scorcher! the first semifinal for them for over 30 years. france looked to be peaking atjust the right time, although a uruguayan flap flattered the french. they fully deserved their place in the last four. there was an all—european line—up in the semifinals, france and belgium both claiming to have a golden generation. two teams packed with stars, going head to head for a place in the world cup final. it should be an absolute cracker. it wasn't really that in st petersburg, not that france minded one bit. in goes the corner. into the net from samuel umtiti! france strike first in the semifinal! just the one goal decided it. france now one match away from football's greatest prize. but who would they meet? the moment has come. e

england beat croatia at wembley. joe root wants england to "set the trend" after a first series win in sri lanka in 17 years. and novak djokovic is bidding for a record—equalling sixth title at the atp finals in london. hello and welcome to sportsday. thanks forjoining us. they left it late but england got their revenge on the team that knocked them out of the world cup. gareth southgate‘s men were a goal down to croatia at wembley and looking like being relegated from the elite group of the nations league, but two goals from jesse lingard and harry kane in the final 12 minutes of the match saw them win 2—1, and with it book their place in next year's finals. john watson was watching the drama unfold at wembley. john — a great comeback from england. yeah, what a comeback indeed, as you say. it was clear at the start of the day what england had to do a commoner permutations they had, england had to win to book their place in the semifinals in portugal next summer. blues and they would have been relegated into

matches england were out. their fans should not get too carried away or excited just yet. it is only a start, it was just a poor panama side they demolished today, of course. there will be harder challenges and future, not least a good belgian side. the outcome of that match will determine who gareth southgate's side meets in the knockout stages. the footballing world have sat up and taken notice of that performance, and england should not fear anybody right now. new measures to tackle child obesity in england have been announced by the government, including plans to ban shops displaying unhealthy snacks at the checkout and tighter restrictions on television advertising. the health secretary says the cost of obesity is too great to ignore — but campaigners say the new proposals don't go far enough. here's our health editor hugh pym. looking after the health of future generations. that is the aim of the government's plan. this class is run bya government's plan. this class is run by a healthy lifestyle initia

england have held it aloft a times ina england have held it aloft a times in a row. it's going to be a replica. john in a row. it's going to be a replica. jotheffrey in a row. it's going to be a replica. john jeffrey and dean richards got themselves in trouble in 88 for playing football with it down princes street in edinburgh. it isa down princes street in edinburgh. it is a lovely thing, that trophy, in edinburgh. it is and i wouldn't want them doing it again on saturday if they can get a result, scotland and massive underdogs, and that is where we operate best, the first game against wales in the six nations, maybe we got a bit carried away and i think eddie is trying to do that a little bit now by saying how good scotla nd little bit now by saying how good scotland are. when scotland are the underdogs they really pull out all the stops. the talking is almost over. your final word the stops. the talking is almost over. yourfinal word on this match tomorrow, paul. england come here confident, eddie jones has been open about it saying their preparation has been fant

england win! victory. euphoria. but england's success has posed many a dilemma. these two are getting married this afternoon near great yarmouth. they have decided to also showed the match to guess rather than ignore it. hopefully it will be a conversation starter instead of people sitting on their phones and hiding away the blue we hope we win or it might be miserable. us series a lot, it is coming home. it is coming home. london. we barbecue is being readied, this meat has been selling fast. sausages and burgers. we will win the football 2—1 come on, england. the british beer and pub association believes £24 million will be pumped into the economy. this woman has never sold so many flags so quickly. everything has gone and we had to reorderfrom suppliers to be a good year. as soon as they score, you hear a screen, looking through the window. a nation prepares. temperatures are high. so why the hopes and expectations. the market, bbc news. —— tim muffett. our moscow correspondent, sarah rainsford, is in samara where the match takes place. it is great talk

come on, england! # is coming home. come on, england! # it's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming, football is coming home. # it's coming home! far too many people are getting carried away. england take on sweden in the quarterfinal. you can watch the build—up from two o'clock on bbc one with gary lineker and the team in moscow. mike, i am sure you have seen all these omens going around. the last time england won the world cup was obviously 1966. if you multiply one by one and you multiply that by the square of nine and multiply that by the square of six and multiply that by the square of the other six and divide that by 52, which is the number of years since england last one the world cup, you come out with 2000 and 18.7, seven being the month ofjuly, so it had to happen! i didn't follow that quite closely, but i love that. also, man city won the league. burnley qualified for europe the last time all that happened. there are some stats doing around on that as well. i am the most pessimistic football fan. i am going for 2—2, en

at least england of what it wants so. the good news for belgium is that whatever happens in the match between them they shouldn't have too much trouble the other side's in group g. two countries who have never made it past the group stage at a world cup in fact have never even qualified for a world cup of. a like goal from roman torres against costa rica in the final qualifier secured panama's place at their maiden world. it was a huge moment for the nation finally qualifying for the world cup the eleventh attempt that goes into perspective but since then their preparations have been going well. they lost two recent friendlies against denmark in switzerland conceding seven and scoring. anything can happen in football but panama winning again at russia twenty eight would be a giant achievement and the same could be said that you know. the country might be set for its fifth appearance at a world cup but the team has only once in twelve games. it is very first world cup match against mexico way back in one thousand nine hund

you said 18 months ago when he took over, that england would be on the verge ofa that england would be on the verge of a world cup semifinal, they can beat sweden, then it would be hard to believe quite frankly. they can go no further than that. it is a with this team and their fans. there've always been able to achieve for that record went over panama, but then, tonight was the real test i think it was fair to say. this was the real mama will discover exactly what kind of character the team had. they had been practising penalties. they had been practising penalties. the players were asked all week because of the fact of such an extent, the tactics are questioned, what they? when they played against belgium, the worst they should've just gone for it, but he feels he had been vindicated. if you go one step further to the semifinals then who knows of this team is capable of. but this was a real coming—of—age moment, not just of. but this was a real coming—of—age moment, notjust for men like him, who are in charge of the penalty shoot out, they would have learned so much as you sa

and what about the expectation for england? so many good luck m essa g es a cross for england? so many good luck messages across social media from fans, celebrities and former players. we picked one out which we thought the england players would enjoy. hello, lads, ijust want to give you the best of luck over in russia, i hope you do the country proud. enjoy the moment, give it your best, no regrets and hopefully your best, no regrets and hopefully you can go a lot better than how we did. all the best, boys. so, that is the message from a former captain steven gerrard. let's take you live now back to the arena in volgograd, because we have the anthems... national anthem plays harry kane captaining england, gareth southgate also at his first world cup. that is the xi who will kick off in a matter of seconds, really, . kick off in a matter of seconds, really,. that is the xi, gareth southgate's first world cup xi. they face tunisia in their group g opener. belgium have already won in the same group earlier today, putting a marker down. we will see how england respond. such an ine

england's new—look defence gave them a helping hand. england had their chances. david de gea's save stopped a sure—fire equaliser. but excitement soon gave way to concern. a horrible clash turning luke shaw's first england start in three years into a night to forget. he is ok but in the nine minutes added for the injury, england thought they had the equaliser. danny welbeck! inexplicably, the referee ruled it out for a foul. but as controversy raged, the fact remains, england still can't beat the big boys. summer flings don't mean a thing if the romance doesn't continue. england have now lost three consecutive matches for the first time in 30 years. reality check time. natalie pirks, bbc news, wembley. northern ireland's nations league campaign also started with defeat to bosnia—herzegovina. despite dominating for most of the match at windsor park, they fell behind in the first half, haris duljevic the scorer. bosnia then scored again, before a late consoloation from substitute will grigg but it stayed 2—1 and northern ireland are bottom of their group. —

joyful game, we just want england. come on, england! adopt you get a sense of how excited people are. an interesting fact, 10 million of these will be bought in bars and pubs across the country, which gives you a sense of how gripping... how people are looking forward to this game so much. studio: thank you noel. great atmosphere right around the country. go and get yourself a drink next lemaitre mike knowles phillips in southgate, richard askam in manchester and sarah campbell in south london. we can talk to michael caulfield, a sports psychologist who worked with gareth southgate when he was at middlesbrough. he is in our oxford studio. a lot has been said about the changed psychology gareth southgate has brought in whether players are no longer terrified, they are excited. how has he done it? he has used his own personal experience and skills, which he has developed as a leader over last 12 yea rs, developed as a leader over last 12 years, when he got thejob he realised if the team was ever to fulfil its potential, it had to stop bei

england will feel they can go all the way. about 6000 england fans in the capital. they will be making their way, about ten spots on the metro. they will figure out how they get to samara and tickets are that quarterfinal on saturday against sweden and if you look at how this world cup is panning out, gareth southgate's team knew that getting past: there would be tough. they made it tough for themselves but they are too fairly easy teams away from reaching a world cup final. the swedes first and then what would be russia or croatia who play in that other quarterfinal. if you look at the other half of the draw, it is so tough. the favourite form is going tough. the favourite form is going to come from outside, france against uruguay on friday and we have brazil against belgium. brazil probably growing into this tournament but england, after getting out ofjail free, really, after being so deflated and getting pushed to extra time and pushed to the dreaded penalties. they will feel that they are world beaters and they have this momentum behind them and the belief they

it is a situation england will be concerned about. kohli kept going and although he was offered a chance in the nervous 90s, went to a century, his fourth slowest in his career which shows how he has adapted to the pace of the game. he's an amazing form. eventually chris woakes got him in an lbw. then they had to score runs as quickly as they could to get the india lead up above 500 and that would really worry england. then he had to pick his moment and decide when he wanted to declare which he did at 20 to six which gave england a nasty session in the evening to get through. that was a difficult situation for them to get through. jennings and cook at the crease. england 23 for no wicket after that declaration at the close and that is at least something for them to cling to what they are right up against it in this match. the bit more about that because what hope if any can england take from the current situation? it's difficult. at least we have got through that session, that will be a plus. no opening batsmen monster go out there wi

how are the england tea m arrived at last. how are the england team doing in terms of settling in? very well, victoria. good morning. happy world cup day. over the next month we will see 32 teams battle it out in the biggest sporting tournament in the world. the likes of lionel messi and cristiano ronaldo are on show and despite england taking one of their youngest ever squads to a world cup, there is a lot of optimism around gareth southgate's side as they edge towards their opening match on monday. the england squad trained at their base in repino for the first time yesterday — an open session watched by the media and around 400 local schoolchildren as well as fans. the small village becoming a hive of activity upon england's arrival but there are questions over how much there will be for the players to do in the village. so far they have no complaints. we've got a nice little basketball net set up. we have a golf simulator. we have got uno cards. we all play a lot of uno. general cards, ping—pong is, at snooker. we are spoiled. we have got everything. there is no reason to b

i was looking forward to a france — england final. it this to a france — england final. it this to bea to a france — england final. it this to be a france— croatian final. and i hope france thrashed the pants off of croatian. there we are, i said it, i will not say... the only saving grace is that we will not lose in the final to france. it would be somewhat awkward considering breaks it. do you think they would have been watching tonight this match, or you know they we re tonight this match, or you know they were watching? i know that they were watching. they have an extra day to re st watching. they have an extra day to rest which the croatians don't have. it did go to extra time, an extra 30 minutes. yes, thank you for helping. they were resting, but i know they we re they were resting, but i know they were going to be watching this match. they will be making their way to moscow. and another person making their way to moscow as he made a promise some time ago when he meant all the players is president emmanuel macron. unlike united kingdom who is boycotting the en

at least england of what it wants so. the good news for belgium and england is that whatever happens in the match between them they shouldn't have too much trouble the other side's in group g. two countries who have never made it past the group stage at a world cup in fact have never even qualified for a world cup. like goal from roman torres against costa rica in the final qualifier secured panama's place at their maiden world. it was a huge moment for the nation finally qualifying for the world cup the eleventh attempt that was in perspective but since then their preparations have been going well. they lost two recent friendlies against denmark in switzerland conceding seven and scoring. anything can happen in football but panama winning a game at russia twenty eight would be a giant achievement and the same could be said that you know. the country might be set for its fifth appearance at a world cup but the team has only one in twelve games. it is very first world cup match against mexico way back in one thousand nine

i do think that england although played against belgium in the first group hasn't had that true test yet whereas colombia you know we've had two somewhat you know major test japan losing and then poland so i think we have that better preparation in terms of game play but it's going to be a very very close game and i think set pieces will be a key factor both sides you know england side and colombia side as we've had scored two or three goals on set pieces with getting enough so i'm going with a long get to one thousand straws for joining me by the best team win. they gave us national camera. roughly once they showed some new play you for the. future uncool videos during the world cup and someone with the broccoli strung out . lying down more on string i don't really don't t.v. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution two to clear the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still war here i mean your list with video at three in the. school in the middle of the former ukrainian preside

i think england will win 3-0. england's coming home. one of those who played back in 1966 thinks england can repeat that team's success. england can repeat that team's success. it is about time, mind you, that we have got as far as we have got. it has been a long time since 1966. i am got. it has been a long time since 1966. iam pretty got. it has been a long time since 1966. i am pretty certain we will get in the final. and that would be absolutely wonderful. this was saturday. millions will be hoping these scenes will be repeated this evening. more on that throughout the afternoon. it's emerged that the 12 boys rescued from a cave in thailand were heavily sedated to keep them calm, and were only semi—conscious as they were brought out by divers. officials say the boys and their coach are in ‘good health‘ as they recover from their ordeal and showing no signs of stress. these new pictures of rescue personnel work at the tham luang cave complex in the northern province of chiang rai have come into us within the last hour. the bbc

england must chase. stokes managed to bowl a therapeutic wicket but as the sun finally came out, it felt as if it had set on england. patrick geary, bbc news. there were three premier league games today. watford and burnley fans, we'll get to your teams shortly. but what about the two manchester clubs? their days couldn't have been any more different — with united suffering a suprise 3—2 defeat at brighton, while champions city hit huddersfield for six, sergio aguero scoring a hat trick, as holly hamilton reports. their last trip to the south coast endedin their last trip to the south coast ended in defeat, a result manchester united want to put behind them. this time, would it be brighton fans feeling deflated? time, would it be brighton fans feeling deflated 7 it time, would it be brighton fans feeling deflated? it wasn't long before they could breathe a sigh of relief. glenn murray from seagulls ahead midway through the first half. two minutes later, shane duffy doubled their lead. this wasn't a j

yes, some extremely dedicated england fa ns some extremely dedicated england fans that we've been meeting over the past couple of days, they are pretty pleased that they make that investment because this was, for a lot of people, they did not think england will get this far and as soon as they were sitting on their sofas or the pub watching england progress and perform, a lot of them started scrabbling to get tickets, spending a small fortune to get it and to experience the moment. the moment i think has been well worth it. they have been saying a huge jubilant crowd here, at the stadium himself, extremely pleased with the performance and this morning, in samara, ithink performance and this morning, in samara, i think it is fair to say that the bleary eyes and saw heads as the celebrations went on well into the night. amongst those england fans, there was one of rather unusual person, an man who bore a striking resemblance to perhaps the most popular person among england fans.|j perhaps the most popular person among england fans. i few people have been telling me over the years, finally g

good afternoon and good luck to england today. not right in what way? england today. not right in what 7 i england today. not right in what way? i want to get a workable proposal on the table and i am happy to work with the government to put that in place. i have not seen the details on this yet but it seems from what has come out in my view that this one is not going to be workable. the customs element is a bit like an honesty box where the eu is supposed to trust us to collect deferential tariffs depending on whether goods are destined for the eu orfor others. i cannot see them agreeing to that in a blue fit. u nless we agreeing to that in a blue fit. unless we were to voluntarily agreed to match eu tariffs with the same ta riffs of to match eu tariffs with the same tariffs of our own. then that problem disappears. then we are in a customs union effectively and we are ina single customs union effectively and we are in a single market which seems to have been agreed yesterday. well thatis have been agreed yesterday. well that is not leaving the european union. given

but for england, this is a first. commentator: england win a world cup penalty shoot out! their world cup success over the summer, driven by a new generation of stars, seemed to mark a clear break from the rooney era. for one night, though, and for one man, english football is turning back the clock. andy swiss, bbc news. stoke's winger, james mclean, says the fa are turning a blind eye to sectarian abuse. mclean is the subject of an fa investigation after calling some stoke fans "uneducated cavemen" for abuse he received in saturday's goal—less draw against middlesbrough for not wearing a poppy, but he says the fa allow fans to chant and sing anti—irish abuse without repercussion. in an instagram post today, he said, "week in, week out for the past seven years, i get constant sectarian abuse, death threats, objects being thrown, chanting, which is heard loud and clear every week." he goes on to say that "if it was a person's skin colour or if it was anti—muslim, someone's gender, there would be an uproar and it would be taken in a completely different way but, like

england— italy on sunday. that could bea england— italy on sunday. that could be a good omen for wales, going very well in common —— colwyn bay. you think —— you just feel like england, france and ireland are doing better than scotland and italy. the world cup was a great success last yea r, italy. the world cup was a great success last year, so i think those three teams would be ahead of wales, scotla nd three teams would be ahead of wales, scotland and italy, but it is a great start for wales, and hopefully that will be a sign of things to come for the rest of the weekend. there has been a lot of chat about the scots, could it be their year? a long time since they had a big win away from home, 16 years since they last won here. but do you sense a real resurgence in the scottish team, what gregor townsend is doing for them? i think whenever you play scotla nd for them? i think whenever you play scotland in the past they were well drilled, now they have a six —— serious x factor. they have got lots of confidence, they come down to wales w

but england needed another. while it was heartbreak of the world cup last summer, captain harry kane made sure of a different outcome this time, getting the ball over the line, and his team, too. it would not have felt as good. we have been thinking about this all the way up to the march camp. they couldn't have gone any better. to grind it out and come back from behind and turn it around is a great feeling. captain harry kane speaking after the game, who arguably was quiet today by his high standards, but popping up with that crucial goal when it mattered. the benefits of this tournament have been plain to see, haven't they? we have once again witnessed a huge win for england over croatia. and over spain as well, one of the world's best. the victory over spain felt like a watershed moment for this england team in their evolution. as we know, a change in tactics and personnel from gareth southgate, this tournament has enabled him to do that, and that has certainly brought about results as well. and you can see j

they should not get carried away, england have not get carried away, england have not won a knockout match in a major tournament for some 12 long years and it is hard still to know what to make of them after these three matches, given they made eight changes here this evening and there is the welcome of surprises, like germany's shock exit. relatively happy with how things have panned out but now they need to make sure they going to be big match on tuesday and that will determine whether the calculated gamble by southgate this evening turns out to bea southgate this evening turns out to be a master stroke or something he comes to regret. our sports editor, things indeed. we look forward to the last 16 starting on saturday. let's head back to the bbc sports centre now. thank you very much. staying with football, england's record goalscorer wayne rooney has signed a deal tojoin mls side dc united. the move was confirmed by everton this afternoon. he'll officially complete his move when the us mid—season transfer window opens injuly. there's no transfer fee but the deal is worth £10

a long again, best of sunshine along england again, best of sunshine a long england and wales, few breaks in that will out —— have sunny spells arriving to the west later today. temperature wise, 19 celsius, scotla nd temperature wise, 19 celsius, scotland 21, northern ireland, and england and wales 30. moving to an monday, it'll slip its way south bring cloud outbreaks, far north of england further south stays dry, plenty of sunshine on monday and tuesday, and again feeling very hot in the southeast, bye—bye. hello this is bbc news. the headlines. detectives searching for the missing midwife samantha eastwood say they have found a body — three people have been arrested. new analysis suggests only a third of plastic food containers can be be recycled — the rest is sent to landfill. this report actually is no surprise for us, it is just confirms something that we've known for a long time, the producers are putting plastic product on the market without any thought about what happens to them at the end of their life. hot air from north africa causes a severe heatwave in spain and p

jonny wilkinson is england's iran! —— he drops for world cup glory! —— england's iran! still gives you goose bumps. england already won the series and it was another good day for england's cricketers on the second day of the final test in colombo. they have a 99 run lead, adil rashid taking five wickets as sri lanka collapsed to 240 all out. ben croucher was watching. pitchers in sri lanka have a tendency to turn and crumble, and the same can apply to sri lankans batting orders. a high five for adil rashid before he spun the game england's way. he watched on as their tale took their way to 336 all out. if you thought that catch was good, jennings started a competition with himself. it doesn't matter how you take them, just that you do. whatever he had a lunch wasn't catching joe root, he had to take this one of the ten as back into groups he was dismissed within a split second. if you missed it, here is almost a carbon copy, different ball, different batsmen, same field and an even more stunning result. sri lanka were being blown away by a rashid whirlwind twisting the

of 150 plus, also an england record. as far as the rest of the world is concerned, only five have scored more runs than alistair cook and he could move up another place with a couple of big scores in the final test of the series against india at the oval. and it is cook's massive knocks at key points in england history that make him stand out, the essex man brought into the team at 21 on the tour of india brought into the team at 21 on the tourof india in brought into the team at 21 on the tour of india in 2006 when he scored 104 not out on debut and at the start of a formidable opening partnership for england with andrew strauss at the top of the order. the 2010-11 strauss at the top of the order. the 2010—11 ashes series will go down as cook's greatest, england's only series win in australia over the course of the last 30 years and cook scored 700 runs in that series, and his highest career test school was in england's massive win over india in 2011 at edgbaston, these are sporting memories that have been built on pa
