but england start their chase of 399 to win the second test in india. 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. 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 i mentioned this to george best. george and i had a chat, if you are comfortable, any musician will tell you... ba—ba—bee—da—da—ba... 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 in 1972, aged just 27, 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 sport that puts you above most people. and he certainly left a mark on the game and he will be sadly missed. he was a rugby intellect. to sit with him over a coffee and have a chat and pearls of wisdom would come out. even when i was playing, i would sit and meet him and he would advise me on a few things. it was great to sit and listen to him. in wales, i can't express how high . a regard people hold that '705 group and in particular people like barryjohn who was an absolute god of welsh rugby and i heard the news today, - it completely shocks you. what he contributed to the game, even now 50 years later, - still transcends rugby across the world. - i having not picked up a ball in 50. years it's a testament to how much influence the game when he played but a massive loss _ and very sad news.

reflections on the passing of barry john who passed away today. next to a series of errors that only arsenal might now find comedic. they've beaten liverpool 3—1 at the emirates to move second in the premier league and two points behind the leaders. three of the five goals came from mistakes. but arsenal benefited more, as nick parrott reports. in recent weeks it seemed the top of the premier league was slipping from arsenal's view. now it is coming back into focus. they went at liverpool from the off of the emirates keen to make up for their shock fa cup defeat last month. it took less than a quarter of an hour for buckeye 0saka to open the scoring. they had a good handle on the match until added time at the end of the first half. liverpool hadn't had a shot on target but they didn't need one as gabrieljesus inexplicably handed them a lifeline —— bukayo saka. that was a howler it was nothing compared to what was to come. a misunderstanding between virgil van come. a misunderstanding between virgilvan dijk and come. a misunderstanding between virgil van dijk and alisson becker saw the premier league's tightest defence look flimsy against gabriel martinelli. instead of mounting a comeback as they have so often this

season, liverpool imploded. ibrahima konate picked up a second yellow card and soon after leandro trossard completed the victory to put arsenal backin completed the victory to put arsenal back in the title race. nick parrott, bbc news. it's only liverpool's second defeat in the league all season and first since late september. while, when for arsenal, defeat could have knocked them out of the reckoning, they produced a crucial win. very happy but it was a huge game, going where it would dictate a little bit where we are and where are going to be. it is an opponent that demands the best out of you and the best out of every individual active minds the best atmosphere to have the best chance to win and we have the best chance to win and we have replicated that with the players and then what they produced out there was just phenomenal. so when they play with that intensity i have to put everything that i have and i have to put my energy into it as well. we had our moments, we controlled it and then_ we had our moments, we controlled it and then we _ we had our moments, we controlled it and then we can see that goal. you

can concede — and then we can see that goal. you can concede a goal but it is strange and everyone realises that doesn't help _ and everyone realises that doesn't help and — and everyone realises that doesn't help. and itjust shows the boys are human— help. and itjust shows the boys are human beings. that makes the things they usually do even more special but today— they usually do even more special but today we were really human and had a _ but today we were really human and had a couple of problems. just over a week ago manchester united had a mini—marcus rashford crisis to overcome. since then, two wins, seven goals and in beating west ham today 3—0 a biggest league victory of the season at old trafford. one that takes them above their opponents into sixth. katie gornall reports. before the rivalry, unity. as old trafford came together to remember the victims of the munich air disaster for the first time without the much loved sir bobby charlton. resilience is built into the dna of this club, although it is something this team has often lacked. here andre 0nana stood firm. inconsistency has been a problem for united but rasmus hojlund appears to be finding his feet. it's rasmus hojlund!

this his fourth goal in a row and on his 21st birthday he hit all the right notes. west ham struggled with their rhythm in front of goal, and those misses proved costly as united, through 19—year—old alejandro garnacho, responded. all of a sudden their future looked bright. it was becoming increasingly apparent this wasn't to be west ham's day. a crucial intervention. united put their bodies on the line and were further rewarded, garnacho's second made it comfortable for erik ten hag's side, not a word we have used much at old trafford this season. katie gornall, bbc news. chelsea have conceded four goals twice in a row. and pressure on mauricio pochettino is growing, as a matheus cunha hat—trick gave wolves a 11—2 win at stamford bridge. chelsea went ahead, but only briefly, as cunha's first levelled things for wolves. 0nce 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.

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. callum hudson—0doi with forest's equaliser. manchester city have gone top of the wsl after beating leicester 2—0. both goals coming in the final ten minutes. they're level on points with chelsea. but arsenal's title chances have suffered from a 2—1 defeat at west ham. england captain leah williamson made her first start since suffering an acl injury in april. she played 45 minutes, leaving at half time when her side were 1—0 up through alessia russo. and england team—mate of her. after a penalty gave west ham the equaliser. hawa cissoko clinched the three points and a first—ever win over arsenal in the wsl. so a point for chelsea in the late game will be enough to retake the lead from manchester city. they're playing everton.

guro reiten has given chelsea the lead from the penalty spot, 1—0 at half—time. elsewhere nikita parris scored twice for the second game in a row as manchester united beat brighton. liverpool and spurs drew 1—1. you're watching sportsday. time for some of our other headlines. harlequins women beat sale sharks by 53—12 in the premiership. ellie kildunne was the star of the show with four tries. quins move up to sixth with the win. judd trump leads china's sijiahui by 6—4 in the german masters final. they're playing to a finish this evening with the first to ten taking the title in berlin. dutch rider mathieu van der poel has won the world cyclocross title for a sixth time. it follows the road race title he won in glasgow last summer. he even had time for a little showboating at the finish line.

not much is considered beyond england in test cricket right now. certainly that's the attitude within the dressing room. but chasing 399 to win in india? that's the task after three days of the second test in vizag. as patrick gearey reports. 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? so did the umpire. but gill got it checked, he hit it, not out, that feather touch would weigh heavy. india moved on, as did runs. shreyas iyer thought he could beat the field there again but that feel was ben stokes. the reprieved gill 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 fell, and he plunged. but watch how england reacted. they will keep playing whatever the risks and whatever the odds. with this new a reminder before we go of our top story. that is the passing of barryjohn, a 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. here in the uk, the mother of brianna ghey, the 16—year—old who was murdered by two other teenagers, is calling for a ban on access to social media apps for under—16s. esther ghey said the internet was out of control and children needed to be protected. her daughter's killers, scarlettjenkinson and eddie ratcliffe, were jailed for life on friday. she also wants parents to be able to see what they're children are accessing social media on their mobile phones, as noor nanji reports. she was absolutely full of life. she was such a character. she was she was really, really outgoing. and she just she loved attention. she loved to be on tiktok. she loved having all of the likes that she used to receive. and she was the life and soul of the party, really. and everybody knew brianna. and anybody who ever met brianna would never forget her.
