to win the second test in india. hello again. welcome along. welsh rugby legend barryjohn has died at the age of 79. the former fly—half�*s family announced that he passed away peacefully in hospital surrounded by his wife and four children. it's less than a month since welsh rugby mourned another of its most revered players, jpr williams, a teammate ofjohn. i joe wilson looks back on the life of a true great. running on the inside. can he get there? what a try! what a score! before rugby union was all muscularity, there was poetry

and the pace and the rhythm was in the feet of barryjohn. as a fly—half number 10 he dictated the play. he made a split—second decisions without even thinking. it is the quality shared by only a few that may truly be described as sporting genius. i think ithinki i think i mentioned this to george best. i think i mentioned this to george best. george and i had a chat, if you are comfortable, any musician will tell you... to him it is like drinking up, have a pint, and that's it. i don't think there is a rationale to it, there is no explanation to it. barryjohn was born in 1945 in a west wales village, notable for two things, coal and rugby, and he first rose to prominence at llanelli before moving to cardiff. by 1971 he helped to command wales,

perhaps their greatest team, grand slam champions in the five nations. when wales needed points he could always stop, kick and turn away knowing where the ball had flown. drop goals were his speciality. having conquered europe, barryjohn toured new zealand with the lions. in the country where rugby is the currency, they called barryjohn the king. the lions won the series. in the decisive third test they scored 13 points to win, ten of them to barryjohn. he had the world at his feet. the top three at the bbc sports personality of the year in 1971 — princess anne, george best and then barryjohn. he was in exalted company. his next move was to retire. in 1972, aged just 27, he had enough, it become a celebrity he'd had enough — he'd become a celebrity and struggled with the concept and the attention. after his playing career he was paid to speak and write about rugby.

but barryjohn became a hidden hero. more often in the public house than the public eye. are you famous? famous? well, people think so. my name is barryjohn, i used to play rugby here. 0h, isee. barryjohn's brilliance was spread over a mere 25 matches for wales and five for the lions. he was the rugby player who left the sport wanting more. i don't think they're going to catch him. john has scored! barryjohn's impact on the sport of rugby is hard to overstate. a hero to generations of fans and players. here's the reaction from some of them, speaking to the bbc today. he could just do things other players couldn't. they could just rely on him to do something, a magician that would just create something out of absolutely nothing. he will be massively missed. if you've got time on the ball in any

chelsea went ahead. but only briefly. as cunha's first levelled things for wolves. once he'd got his third the visitors had a 4—1 lead, with only a consolation goal reducing it before the end. wolves go above chelsea into tenth. the patient isn't infinite, and of course we need to show more. and of course we need to show more. and of course the circumstances are difficult but at the moment we were good until i think liverpool and after liverpool it is like, you know, everything is going wrong. but i think, yes, know, everything is going wrong. but ithink, yes, we know, everything is going wrong. but i think, yes, we have been on a very good run. ithink i think, yes, we have been on a very good run. i think we need to move on and try and build on wednesday. nottingham forest's draw at ten—man bournemouth takes them two points above the bottom three. it finished 1—1 at the vitality stadium. justin kluivert with an early goalfor the home side.

fairto fair to say expectations differed at the start of day three. england a long way behind but chasing. jimmy anderson thriving, rohit sharma gone. anderson successfully dismantled the great wall who had scored 200 in the first innings and now had england got shubman gill, too? both also. so did the umpire. but gill got it checked, he hit it, not out, that feather touch would weigh heavy. india moved on, did runs. shreyas iyer thought he could beat the field there again but that feel was ben stokes. the reprieved guilt took charge, tilting india's lead to significant towards magnificent. when he was a boy his father built a cricket pitch on a family farm to practise on. hundreds like this were the harvest. but in this match, in this series, england have never given up. they bowled india out. the target, 399 runs to win. in india it should be almost

impossible and despite a good start ben duckett fail, k spirit plunged. but watch how england reacted. they will keep playing whatever the risks and whatever the odds. with this new england, expectations are different. patrick gearey, bbc news. just before we go, reminder of our top story. that is the passing of barry john. they are wales legend and lions great, at the age of 79. it was his mercurial performances in both the club and international game during a career that proved relatively brief that led to him being described as rugby's first real superstar. the british & irish lions today said he was truly one of the greatest. while his former team cardiff perhaps summed it up best. they said of barryjohn, "an absolute icon who will be dearly missed. long live the king." that's all from sportsday. buy bye for now.
