6:33 pm
there's still lots of come, i'm still 28 years old and i know i have the top ten level in me. leicester are looking to power up their promotion push, the championship leaders can go ten points clear tonight a blow for india but a boost for england. virat kohli will miss the first two tests of the series also coming up on sportsday... will it be another grand slam year in the six nations? we hearfrom ireland's new captain and a $1 million putt for the biggest win of his life, but why did this golfer have to give up his paycheque? evening. cameron norrie says he has what it takes to get back into the world's top ten, after reaching the second week
6:34 pm
of the australian open for the first time. he pushed the sixth seed alexander zverev so close in their fourth round match earlier today, eventually losing on a tie break in the deciding set, we'll hear from our tennis co—respondent in melbourne in just a moment, but first, here's nesta macgregor who was watching the match. facing an old foe, cameron norrie promised to do the homework necessary to finally ace this german test. however, the maths didn't favour him. in four previous meetings with alexander zverev, he hadn't won. an extraordinary rally. and when the first sets went against the british number one, another tennis lesson seemed on the cards. the pair know each other well. they practise together. but some things you just can't study for. oh, he needed something special to get over the line. a set apiece, the german again showed his class a delicate touch at the net. oh, wow. remarkably, the 28—year—old brit had never taken a single set off his german opponent.
6:35 pm
but after three hours on court, he'd now taken two. sensational. going into the decider, history beckoned, norrie, eyeing a place in the australian open quarterfinals. but in the end, the top marks went to the german. cameron norrie on the way home, but a performance he can be proud of, and he can always retake the test next year. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. so no british players are left in the singles draw, but norrie will take plenty out of his run to the last 16 in melbourne. he is probably one of the best players in the world at the moment and playing within somewhat deep into the grand slam, those five sets, a few points in it, i think it is exactly where i want to be and i can take confidence from that, there is still lots to come.
6:36 pm
i'm still 28 years old and i think, you look at the longevity of the other players playing now, i think they are getting better so ijust want to keep learning and keep pushing and keep improving. i learned a lot last year and be years before and i know i've got the top ten level in me. the first of the quarterfinals are coming up overnight, i spoke to our tennis correspondent russell fuller in melbourne, to look ahead to those, but first i asked him about norrie�*s defeat to zverev. ultimately, when the stakes were at the highest my he made too many mistakes in that tie—break, which alexander zverev won comfortably. he did very well in that fifth set making life difficult for cameron norrie, so when you lift —— lose out on a grand slam quarterfinal but that fine margin, it's a crushing defeat, but cameron norrie has already said he thinks the best is yet to come. he has reached a grand slam semifinal at wimbledon, has been a top ten player, but he looks at life at the age of 28 and
6:37 pm
thought" how do i get better? and hardware a prove —— improve? " and he thinks be more aggressive is the answer, butjust short he thinks be more aggressive is the answer, but just short today, he thinks be more aggressive is the answer, butjust short today, but he would be exciting to watch as he continues to play in that vein. alexander zverev goes through against carlos alcaraz, and he looked very good carlos alcaraz. 6—4— 6—4, looked very good carlos alcaraz. 6-4- 6-4, 6-0 looked very good carlos alcaraz. 6—4— 6—4, 6—0 against his opponent who has been unseated but very good in the last few months and it's top—seeded player in the past, even though we were slightly unsure what to expect from carlos alcaraz at the start of the year because he played no warm up, if there is any doubt we can all be assured he is playing some good tennis. by his ridiculously high standards, a 20—year—old, he didn't finish the work —— year well, he won all six tournaments, nixon in wimbledon last
6:38 pm

6:39 pm
to leave the court and retire after three games, but nothing to suggest she would not have won that match. she was brilliant in beets in the world number one english with it, so she could be a grand some findings. the other press dimension in the draw is the 12 seed from china, on 21 years of age, quarterfinals and the us open and now in melbourne. the first of the quarterfinals coming up for the first of the quarterfinals coming upfor us the first of the quarterfinals coming up for us in the early hours, we have coco gauff and seven into, note about djokovic back on court as well. note about d'okovic back on court as well. ., ., .,, well. the overnight part of her nose and vote coco _ well. the overnight part of her nose and vote coco gauff— well. the overnight part of her nose and vote coco gauff against - well. the overnight part of her nose and vote coco gauff against another player from and vote coco gauff against another playerfrom ukraine and vote coco gauff against another player from ukraine was and vote coco gauff against another playerfrom ukraine was made and vote coco gauff against another player from ukraine was made the less it, and his 19th meeting between novak djokovic and taylor fritz, he has never beaten djokovic, fritz, he has never beaten djokovic, fritz, and they met in the quarterfinals in september and it was a straightforward novak djokovic victory, exists humid day in new york and to set to be much harsher
6:40 pm
thanit york and to set to be much harsher than it has been over the last couple days in melbourne tomorrow, an aeroplane in the heat of the afternoon sun. i don't think i would be much of a problem to know about djokovic, he has been shaken off of iron —— virus and has been playing healthier in the last few rounds, and is exactly where he wants to be, and is exactly where he wants to be, and mentally it is difficult for fritz when you know you are paying a 24 fritz when you know you are paying a 2k time grand slam champion and 2a time grand slam champion and a guy who is menu eight times in a row. , , quite a bit of football about for a monday, brighton can jump above manchester united to seventh in the premier league if they beat wolverhampton wanderers. a wolves win would see them move into the top half of the table. there's a huge game at the top of the championship, leicester city can stretch their lead to ten points tonight, but if ipswich win, then the gap would be down to four. colin hazelden is at the king power stadium. some games of field pivot so that

6:42 pm
colin hazelden, bbc news it's hotting up at the africa cup of nations, we're into the final round of group games in ivory coast and the hosts are playing right now against the group leaders equatorial guinea. only a heavy defeat would see the ivorians fail to progress as at least one of the best third place finishers. let's speak to bbc sport africa's celestine karoney in abidjan where all today's matches are taking place. celestine, it is not looking good for ivory coast at all. give us the latest. tt for ivory coast at all. give us the latest. , ., ., ., “ for ivory coast at all. give us the latest. , ., ., ., , latest. it is not looking for ivory coast, latest. it is not looking for ivory coast. at _ latest. it is not looking for ivory coast. at the — latest. it is not looking for ivory coast, at the stadium, - latest. it is not looking for ivory coast, at the stadium, where i latest. it is not looking for ivory - coast, at the stadium, where nigeria aeroplane they are currently needed, and lots of ivorian fans around me are watching on their phones transit for the what is happening in the other big stadium, and aci lots of solemn faces, the team is losing 3-0, solemn faces, the team is losing 3—0, immediate and serious scoring a brace, and it would be a blow for

6:44 pm
once that games ends, it would be a positive result and he can go with them at as he goes to liverpool for rehabilitation that his team would would've kept there itself in this competition by bees and cape verde. high drama as we get into the final group games at the africa cup of nations, thank you celestine. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories today the all—england club's expansion plans will go to a full planning hearing with the deputy mayor of london set to decide whether they can build 39 new courts and an 8000 seater stadium on adjacent parkland for the wimbledon championships. there has been strong local opposition. 16—year—old zak carrick—smith has won great britain's first alpine skiing gold in a winter olympic event — he topped the podium in the combined competition at the youth olympic games in south korea. josh brown hit 140 runs offjust 57 balls as brisbane heat reached the final of the big bash.

6:46 pm
massive blow for him to be missing for the first two tests against england. in glenn's task is still a huge one. no one has won a test series in this country since 2012, and if england are going to make a dent in india, one of the things, and a key factor, can england's inexperienced bowling attack, particularly their spinners, inexperienced bowling attack, particularly theirspinners, get through a star—studded indian batting line—up. without virat kohli, and glenn's chances, may, i've gone up a notch.— kohli, and glenn's chances, may, i've gone up a notch. obviously, and glenn's preparations _ i've gone up a notch. obviously, and glenn's preparations have _ i've gone up a notch. obviously, and glenn's preparations have not - glenn's preparations have not been great, with the news that harry brooks was out for personal reasons as well for the foreseeable, how do you think there were line up in that first test coming up on thursday? aha, first test coming up on thursday? strange mirror image of the two teams preparation, only 24 hours
6:47 pm
before the virat kohli announcement that we heard harry brooks was putting out for personal reasons of his own. without him being around, it might salivate selection headache for england. they have ollie pope, their vice cast —— vice captain, covenant back to the site after missing the ashes series with an injury, and also ben vaux, pretty much the best wicketkeeper in the world, he was omitted throughout the summer in favour ofjonny bairstow, and glenn thinking they wanted more firepower against australians, but where fulks is so crucial in this part of the world is the ability to stand up for the stems for long periods of time and if both of them would try to get into the same 11 it would try to get into the same 11 it would be a problem for england but after seeing training in hyderabad on monday, with vaux taking the gloves and johnny's beer still taken the field in droves it looks
6:48 pm
apparent that folks will come back into the site as a specialist wicketkeeper and jonny bairstow will be a specialist better. that wicketkeeper and jonny bairstow will be a specialist better.— be a specialist better. that is stehan be a specialist better. that is stephan shemil. _ just one other line out of the england camp, spinner shoaib bashir is still in abu dhabi, where the squad had been training, because of a delay with his visa. it's hoped that the somerset off—spinner, whose parents are of pakistani heritage, will be able to join the tour in the next 24 hours. and glenn hoping that the bcci, the indian board and others can put pressure on border control authorities in india. let's stay with cricket because serious questions remain about the sport's culture. a landmark report last summer demanded urgent reform after finding that discrimination was " widespread and deep rooted'. our sports correspondentjoe wilson visited county side warwickshire to see how they are developing the next generation of cricketers. a winter's night at edgbaston seeking inspiration.
6:49 pm
cricket is sexist, racist, elitist. so concluded last summer's equity report. here, those words were welcomed, because the consequences must be positive. if we use the national game of football, if we use that as an example, it's played every day in every school, up and down the country. and no other sport can say that. people that have never played cricket before, or people who are currently playing cricket, let's understand them better. we want to develop players. every contact we have, we want to develop players, notjust observe them and judge them. that's the idea of these age group pathway squads. rather than being recommended by an established school, players can now get in by other means. i got here through a video trial process. i was sent here by my club. we sent some videos of me bowling. these guys invited me over here for the winter, and then luckily, they let me stay.
6:50 pm
do you think it's easier to become a cricketer in england if you're white, if you go to a posh school? what are your feelings about that? m not reauy — because i mean, for my age group, there has been a lot of diversity, so there's been a lot _ of asian people as well, j as well as white people. now, i know there's been a lot of speculation. - probably in some areas it probably is easier for maybe people - who are of that background, like you said. _ but i think it's pretty. much almost the same. warwickshire say 70% of their young players attend state schools, and the biggest growth in interest is among girls. i think boys' cricket is very competitive, but girls is also very competitive. it's really important that girls get a chance too. just because boys might be a little bit stronger, it doesn't mean that girls shouldn't get a chance to play cricket. and really, no report could put it more succinctly. joe wilson, bbc news, edgbaston.
