also coming up on sportsday... lights, camera, action for the start of the netball super league, with all 10 teams in action in nottingham. an action from the indoor championships in birmingham. hello there, and welcome along to the sportsday on saturday. a busy afternoon in the football to come. but we start with cricket. and england have a hugejob on their hands, if they're to stop india winning the 3rd test in rajkot. a poor performance with the bat, coupled with india finding their rhythm, leaves ben stokes�* side needing a record pursuit in india to pull off the unthinkable. patrick geary reports. india had 11 men on the field but
6:32 pm
weren't entirely whole. star spanish r ashwin had been called away for a family emergency stop by sport's ruthless logic, england had a chance. when they tried not to take. joe root�*s scoop, the first shovel in a deepening hole. the game turned. jonny bairstow scored none. ben duckett, 153 a masterpiece, until the brush slipped. an innings ofjoy and one big regret. ben stokes leads this team by example, with hope and blue sky thinking. but there is a hitch. out for a1, no wonder india enjoyed it. a team without ash wind thatjust kept going. one ball later it got better. ben foakes the second —— seventh man out. every glimpse in to bring another wicket. out. every glimpse in to bring anotherwicket. forster out. every glimpse in to bring another wicket. forster muhammad saw edge. england all out, still 126 behind. now the opportunity was
6:33 pm
india's. jazz well offered no mercy, smashing the much further and furtherfrom england's reach. they he raced to another superb century. at the halfway point today feels pivotal. so england trailing now by 322 runs, and from being in such a good position coming into the day, now find themselves staring at defeat, and going 2—1 down in the series. their star of the innings, ben duckett, appreciates risks that come with their style of playing. we didn't plan to have the collapse we did. there are options that this team takes and i feel like, if we are going to go like that, we would be like that every other day, because when you are playing this exciting brand of cricket, and always taking the positive option, you have to stay level. these things are going to happen and today was one of them. on the flip side i do think they had a very good day. they
6:34 pm
didn't have a very good day yesterday. i thought they bounced back today and was superb. a long way back for england then. our chief cricket writer, stephan shemilt is in rajkot, and told me where it went wrong. really disappointing from england. they had all the momentum going into the third day. they had reached 207-2 in the third day. they had reached 207—2 in response to india's aa5. ben duckett was primed on 133 not out. don't forget that the sad news overnight, that ravichandran ashwin, had pulled out of the test match, because of a family emergency. everything seemed to be going england's way. but it all changed at the fall of the wicket ofjoe root. he tried to play a reverse scoop to just break barbara and that sparked an england collapse. england found themselves just 319 all out and from
6:35 pm
there, india baked england's bowlers and fielders, moving to 196—2, a lead of 122 runs, and that is already more than any visiting team has made in the fourth innings to win a test match in india. lets talk about jaiswal- _ win a test match in india. lets talk about jaiswal. greenham _ win a test match in india. lets talk about jaiswal. greenham i - win a test match in india. lets talk about jaiswal. greenham i think i win a test match in india. lets talk about jaiswal. greenham i think he was swinging _ about jaiswal. greenham i think he was swinging so — about jaiswal. greenham i think he was swinging so much _ about jaiswal. greenham i think he was swinging so much of _ about jaiswal. greenham i think he was swinging so much of the - about jaiswal. greenham i think he - was swinging so much of the boundary he put his back out. we had treatment and then decided he couldn't continue. he remains 10a not out. shubman gill is still there on 65. these two really are the future of india's batting and they have shown again todayjust why future of india's batting and they have shown again today just why they have shown again today just why they have got such big reputations. unfortunate circumstances about trevor chandran ashwin, who has left the test for family reasons. he will be amiss with the ball. he the test for family reasons. he will be amiss with the ball.— the test for family reasons. he will
6:36 pm
be amiss with the ball. he will, but when ashwin _ be amiss with the ball. he will, but when ashwin was _ be amiss with the ball. he will, but when ashwin was bowling - be amiss with the ball. he will, but when ashwin was bowling on - be amiss with the ball. he will, but when ashwin was bowling on the i when ashwin was bowling on the second evening, england were going great guns in moving to 207—2, and without ashwin, overnight england recouped, they came up with new plans, and called the left—arm wrist spinner and mohammed saw raj really stepped up in ashwin's absence. it is a huge mess from india's point of view. whatever circumstances he would be missed by any team, but they already had a huge lead and some skilful boulders that stepped up some skilful boulders that stepped up in his absence. just some skilful boulders that stepped up in his absence.— up in his absence. just looking at that hue up in his absence. just looking at that huge lead, _ up in his absence. just looking at that huge lead, and _ up in his absence. just looking at that huge lead, and what - up in his absence. just looking at that huge lead, and what targetl that huge lead, and what target india might like to set, what with that potentially become a given ben stokes' side would face pulling off the highest pursuit by a visiting team in india?— the highest pursuit by a visiting team in india? . ., ., the highest pursuit by a visiting team in india? . . ., ., team in india? england have made a habit of chasing _ team in india? england have made a habit of chasing large _ team in india? england have made a habit of chasing large totals - team in india? england have made a habit of chasing large totals under . habit of chasing large totals under the captaincy of ben stokes. a number of times in the past few years they have overhauled targets in excess of 250. but these run chases are so much harder in india
6:37 pm
because the pitch deteriorates will stop and we saw this in the last test. england were set 399 to win and they went about it confidently. but ultimately it was well beyond them and they lost by more than 100 runs. history shows that it is incredibly difficult for any visiting team to overhaul the target in this country. with india leading already by 322 it is going to be an enormous effort stop india still have wickets in hand and ashwin isn't going to take part in the rest of the game. if they extend their lead and really put this much beyond england and go to— one up in the series. liverpool ensured they'll stay top of the premier league with a comfortable a—1 win at brentford in the lunchtime kick—off. mo salah, returning from afcon duty, scored for them. that put the pressure back on their title rivals. but they lost more players to injury, including diogojota,
6:38 pm
with darwin nunez also going off at half time. drew savage was watching. the winning smile. edge at a job well done but perhaps also counting how many fit players he has got left. how many fit players he has got left. the opening stages had been relatively even — ivan toney had gone close for the home side and then liverpool found an opening — diogojota spotted darwin nunez and the uruguayan did the rest. but nunez went off at half time, while curtisjones and jota had to go off before it — liverpool's injury problems are building up — although mohamed salah isn't a bad option to bring off the bench. he found alexis mac allister and liverpool were in charge. it was salah's first game back after being injured in the africa cup of nations, and this is what liverpool have been missing. they'll need him to stay fit for the title run—in. brentford hadn't been as clinical with the chances they created but ivan toney did pull one back, until liverpool's place at the top
6:39 pm
of the premier league pecking order was confirmed. cody gakpo, on for nunez, punished some slack brentford defending, and who knows, goal difference could be vital come the end of the season. so that win, coming at some cost then — goalkeeper alisson, and trent alexander—arnold were already ruled out and the injury list growing forjurgen klopp, who was still delighted with his team's performance. all the rest was positive. the boys later an incredible game. we take it like it is. as long as you don't know the extent of the injuries you are obviously concerned and worried. for me that is no different from the fans. we will see when we get this information. but as long as we have 11 players on the pitch we will fight and that is what i saw today. the first 35 minutes i thought we were _ the first 35 minutes i thought we were brilliant, iactually
6:40 pm
the first 35 minutes i thought we were brilliant, i actually thought were brilliant, i actually thought we were — were brilliant, i actually thought we were the better team although we cmidni— we were the better team although we couldn't take the opportunities we had. couldn't take the opportunities we had~ then — couldn't take the opportunities we had. then we made a mistake, especially, _ had. then we made a mistake, especially, i would say, the first and third — especially, i would say, the first and third goal we conceded two disappointing goals. it didn't help, the mistakes we made today. arsenal remain two points behind the leaders liverpool after a comprehensive 5—0 win over burnley. the gunners were two goals up at the break, through an early martin odegaard goal and bukayo saka penalty. saka added a third shortly after the break, before further goals from leandro trossard and kai havertz sealed an easy win for mikel arteta's side. we are we a re really we are really pleased, it is a really difficult place to come and they have been really competitive in they have been really competitive in the big games they have played this season. today we have managed to break them down early in the game and that made it look may be a little bit more comfortable. the from the players are in, even 3—0,
6:41 pm
a-o, from the players are in, even 3—0, a—0, they want more. it says a lot about how they feel at the moment. we have gone back and said, good performance, and you can look at details _ performance, and you can look at details and — performance, and you can look at details and key moments. but today all round _ details and key moments. but today all round was not good enough. in these _ all round was not good enough. in these moments you take it on the chin and _ these moments you take it on the chin and don't say too much and you focus _ chin and don't say too much and you focus on _ chin and don't say too much and you focus on the — chin and don't say too much and you focus on the next game. it is important _ focus on the next game. it is important for us to get our momentum in the _ important for us to get our momentum in the run _ important for us to get our momentum in the run of— important for us to get our momentum in the run of games that we have got left. a frustrating day for tottenham who began the day in the top four. defeat at home to wolves though sees them drop out of the champions league positions. both wolves goals coming from joao gomes, the second on the counter—attack, after dejan kulevski had levelled for spurs right after half time. gomes had previously only scored once for wolves following his £15 million move from brazilian side flamengo in january last year. the win moves wolves into the top half of the table. spurs drop to 5th. we are chasing, trying to be the best possible team we can and trying
6:42 pm
to progress this year to build something and that hasn't changed. we have got 13 games to go and our focus is on finishing the season strong and trying to keep developing our football team. disappointing lapse for the goal, similar— disappointing lapse for the goal, similar to — disappointing lapse for the goal, similar to the one we conceded in the last— similar to the one we conceded in the last minute against manchester united, _ the last minute against manchester united, letting them throw it into the front— united, letting them throw it into the front player. it is really sloppy— the front player. it is really sloppy so probably the only negative i sloppy so probably the only negative i could _ sloppy so probably the only negative i could find in a 98,99 minute performance. we were close to perfect, — performance. we were close to perfect, apart from we missed a load of really— perfect, apart from we missed a load of really good opportunities that we properly— of really good opportunities that we properly should have done better with _ properly should have done better with. proud of the group, tough place _ with. proud of the group, tough place to— with. proud of the group, tough place to come, fantastic team we have _ place to come, fantastic team we have just — place to come, fantastic team we have just faced and and i thought we deserved _ have just faced and and i thought we deserved to win the game. aston villa took full advantage of that spurs slip. they won 2—1 away at fulham to go ath. ollie watkins with both of their goals. rodrigo muniz pulling one back for fulham, but they couldn't find the equaliser. villa back on track, after losing
6:43 pm
their previous two matches. we had chances to score, we were clean. i think we deserve may be more goals. it was a tough match. when they reacted with their goal they had the chance to go but i think overall we were very competitive and our grand plan was imposing today in the match. the reaction was there, the desire to go— the reaction was there, the desire to go again. — the reaction was there, the desire to go again, and it was an important moment— to go again, and it was an important moment to- — to go again, and it was an important moment to— one for us. after that we had chances _ moment to— one for us. after that we had chances to equalise and unfortunately we didn't. we were punished — unfortunately we didn't. we were punished by the mistakes we made. we could concede the way we did. we were _ could concede the way we did. we were too— could concede the way we did. we were too sloppy, to open in that moments — newcastle united had matt ritchie to thank, in scrambling a 2—2 draw at st james park with bournemouth. dominic solanke put bournemouth ahead, before a controversial anthony gordon
6:44 pm
penalty levelled things. antoine semenyo took advantage of defensive blunders to put the away side back in the lead, but a stoppage time goal from ritchie, his first in the league for four years, saved the day for eddie howe's men. lovely feeling to get the equaliser. obviously disappointed with the result, of course. we know how high we have set the bar here in the levels that we want to achieve. we didn't quite hit those levels today. when you score so late on like that i think it's one of those where you have to probably bite the bullet and be happy with the point. it isa it is a good point when you are losing. — it is a good point when you are losing, especially so late, but for as well— losing, especially so late, but for as well because the game was there for us _ as well because the game was there for us to— as well because the game was there for us to win, i thought. if we had the qualities to do so. theyjust eluded — the qualities to do so. theyjust eluded us— the qualities to do so. theyjust eluded us on the day and bournemouth battled. _ eluded us on the day and bournemouth battled. we _ eluded us on the day and bournemouth battled, we battled. both teams gave everything to win and with the goal coming _ everything to win and with the goal coming so — everything to win and with the goal coming so late for us i think we have _ coming so late for us i think we have to — coming so late for us i think we have to he _ coming so late for us i think we have to be pleased.
6:45 pm
after our performances i think in the first— after our performances i think in the first half— after our performances i think in the first half we _ after our performances i think in the first half we weren't - after our performances i think in the first half we weren't clinical. the first half we weren't clinical enough — the first half we weren't clinical enough i— the first half we weren't clinical enough. i think— the first half we weren't clinical enough. i think we _ the first half we weren't clinical enough. i think we were - the first half we weren't clinical enough. i think we were in- the first half we weren't clinicali enough. i think we were in front the first half we weren't clinical- enough. i think we were in front and we deserved — enough. i think we were in front and we deserved to _ enough. i think we were in front and we deserved to win _ enough. i think we were in front and we deserved to win today's - enough. i think we were in front and we deserved to win today's game. . we deserved to win today's game. obviously— we deserved to win today's game. obviously the _ we deserved to win today's game. obviously the referee _ we deserved to win today's game. obviously the referee decisions i obviously the referee decisions affected — obviously the referee decisions affected the _ obviously the referee decisions affected the game _ obviously the referee decisions affected the game and - obviously the referee decisions affected the game and make i obviously the referee decisions affected the game and make it| obviously the referee decisions - affected the game and make it much more _ affected the game and make it much more difficult — it's a difficult one to take. i think we gave everything. to concede that late on is always going to hurt. we want to get three points every game we play. we have had quite a few drawers recently which, isn't a bad thing, especially away from home, but we need to try to find a way to see out the game. a valuable win for nottingham forest — they're now five points clear of the relegation zone — after beating west ham 2—0. taiwo awoniyi gave the home side the lead just before half—time. callum hudson—odoi on the scoresheet again too, in added time at the end. west ham had kalvin phillips sent off. it feels good after a performance like we did. i think we play really
6:46 pm
good football. we were dominant, we were in control. we recover a lot of balls and kept a clean sheet. that is so important for us, and we played some great chances. i think we were the better team today. that is what pleases me more. when we went to ten it made it much more _ when we went to ten it made it much more difficult and we had to take some _ more difficult and we had to take some chances. the game was tight. what _ some chances. the game was tight. what you _ some chances. the game was tight. what you have to remember, nottingham forest are in a relegation battle, trying to get out of it _ relegation battle, trying to get out of it i_ relegation battle, trying to get out of it i was — relegation battle, trying to get out of it. i was there a few years ago with— of it. i was there a few years ago with west — of it. i was there a few years ago with west ham and i know what it's like. with west ham and i know what it's like every— with west ham and i know what it's like. every game, every point, it's so important, especially your home games _ so important, especially your home games. nottingham forest made it tougher— games. nottingham forest made it tougher is— games. nottingham forest made it tougher is as well but in many ways we have _ tougher is as well but in many ways we have done a lot of good things probably— we have done a lot of good things probably the final third letters down, — probably the final third letters down, a — probably the final third letters down, a decision or a final pass, not taking — down, a decision or a final pass, not taking the opportunity when we -ot not taking the opportunity when we got it _ so confirmation of those results and we're at half time in the late game between manchester city and chelsea at the etihad. they could be a shock on the cards.
6:47 pm
chelsea are one up there. raheem sterling with the goal in the first half. a win for city could put them level on points with arsenal, who are second. we will keep tabs on that one. championship leaders leicester suffered a surprise defeat at home. they lost 2—1 to middlesbrough. the gap to second—placed leeds is now nine points. their 2—0 win away to plymouth argyle keeps their promotion push on track. poor defending allowed italian striker wilfried gnonto to put leeds ahead early on. and they withstood something of a fightback before georginio rutter made the game safe in the second half, so leeds leapfrog southampton, and go into the second automatic promotion spot. in other matches birmingham came from behind to beat sunderland. ipswich also kept pace with the automatic promotion spots — after beating swansea 2—1. wins too for coventry and norwich city, as theyjostle for a playoff spot come the end of the season.
6:48 pm
victories down at the bottom too for qpr and sheffield wednesday. celtic missed the chance to move three points clear at the top of the scottish premiership after they were held to a 1—1 draw with kilmarnock. a stoppage time equaliser from kilmarnock substitute david watson means rangers could go top, if they win tomorrow at stjohnstone. elsewhere, wins for third placed hearts, dundee, and bottom side livingston. in the women's super league, arsenal beat manchester united 3—1 in front of a record women's super league crowd at emirates stadium. this victory keeps their hopes very much alive in the title race. in front of 60,160 fans, they were 3—0 up before half time, cloe lacasse with the second there. the win puts them just three points behind the league's top two, chelsea and manchester city — and dealing a serious blow to united's hopes of a champions league place two more games in the opening round of fixtures in superleague taking place this evening. sam burgess is overseeing his first
6:49 pm
game as coach of warrington wolves, they're currently losing 1a—a at catalans dragons while castleford tigers host the defending champions wigan warriors — the home side reduced to 12 when liam watts was controversially sent off for that high tackle, to the shock of the castleford coaching staff — the warriors then took full advantage with two tries just before the break — bevan french eventually finishing off the second. wigan have just scored another try, they lead 20—a. that is being looked at by the video ref. that is being looked at by the video ref. and that match is the first ever superleague game being broadcast on the bbc. it's on bbc two right now. it's part of a new broadcast deal. the bbc will show a number of live games throughout the season. and there will be highlights on the bbc sport website. it isa it is a try. 2a—a to wigan there now as we catch that much. you can catch it on the bbc sport website for live

6:56 pm
out towards the west. and there's a band of heavy rain sweeping eastwards overnight tonight — could potentially lead to some more surface water flooding. of course, very large puddles out there, as this heavy rain just pushes southwards and eastwards through the night, moving into shetland and lingering across east anglia and the far south east of england. but some clear spells developing behind, although temperatures won't drop very far, staying in double figures for most. a few isolated showers out towards the north and the west as we head into tomorrow morning. but a rather soggy start to the day across the south east of england, down towards the south coast as well, east anglia and across shetland. the rain will eventually clear, but it could linger on for some as we head even into the first part of the afternoon, but it will turn gradually more showery. cloud behind it, the cloud breaking up to leave us with some bright and some sunny spells. but for many, i think it will stay largely dry through the day on sunday. some isolated showers again out towards the west of scotland, perhaps western wales and northern ireland,
