leicester city have got their title push back on track in the championship. they'd wonjust once in their last six in the league, but came from behind against norwich to win 3—1 at the king power stadium. that moves them back to the top of the table, for now. jane dougall reports. their prospects of automatic promotion had taken a dent in recent weeks after a bad promotion had taken a dent in recent weeks after a had run of form so leicester city finds could be forgiven for feeling nervous with norwich visiting. gabriela sarah did little to lift the mood. their first shot of the _ little to lift the mood. their first shot of the game, _ little to lift the mood. their first shot of the game, cheeky. - little to lift the mood. their first - shot of the game, cheeky. leicester city needed — shot of the game, cheeky. leicester city needed a _ shot of the game, cheeky. leicester city needed a lever— shot of the game, cheeky. leicester city needed a lever and _ shot of the game, cheeky. leicester city needed a lever and kiernan - city needed a lever and kiernan dewsbury—hall rose to the occasion. the midfielders of first goal in ii matches. the momentum was with the

home site, but would he be made to regret mistakes like this one? however, where paxson back at feels, steffi my dd didn't. leicester city had confidence now, jamie vardy wrapping up three points would a rebound in stoppage time. the wind takes them top of the championship for the time being at least. jane dougall, bbc news it's just for the time being because if switch our plane right now. leeds united as well. also some matches at the bottom of the championship, what's going on with the ipswich game? what's going on with the ipswich came? ,, . what's going on with the ipswich iame? ,, ., ., what's going on with the ipswich came? ,, ., ., .,, ., game? starting at the top of the table, if switch _ game? starting at the top of the table, if switch start _ game? starting at the top of the table, if switch start today - game? starting at the top of the table, if switch start today at - game? starting at the top of the | table, if switch start today at top and our pain at some time —— southampton right now, who are fourth, just about to kick off in the second half and it is

southampton bleeding by two was to one, lee davies with the opener for ipswich, and southampton getting from che adams. leads play host city later on and can capitalise on any slip—ups. looking at a 3pm kick—offs at the top of the table, preston north end, still five points of the payoff, a huge win for birmingham city off the bottom of the table, cover injury took the lead against cardiff city, to the them kitchen on gauze leading to cardiff city winning, orwest gauze leading to cardiff city winning, or west bromwich albion rescued a late point against what ford. and this is what it all means at the top of the table. if switch, if it stays that it is, will miss a chance to go back above leicester city at the top of the table, and leads could go top if the other way —— results go their way. in the automatic promotion spots, looking

at the playoff places, west bromwich albion unbeaten in eight, and eight point cushion inside the places, coventry city and others losing those for their playoff ambitions. at the other end of the table, huddersfield desperate to get rid of their relegation battle worries, they looked to be getting out of the recognition with this goal, but an equaliser just after half—time security point for stoke city. plymouth have now lost in a club record five at home without scoring. a close range header given bristol city a 1—0 when, rather them seemingly inevitable in relegation, that would not come today after they got a 2—1 victory over millwall my a first win for them to the boxing day, and a big win for blackburn rovers, a first in the championship

under their new manager. a 5—1 win at sunderland and queens park rangers made it back to back wins. this is what is is done to the bottom of the table. remarkably, rather them still living to fight another day, the big winners, qpr, tremolite of the top —— bottom three, and blackburn up to 17 exhibit. birmingham city two points above the drop and middle wall and stoke city are nervously looking over their shoulders. the championship _ over their shoulders. the championship always - over their shoulders. the championship always gripping, ben croucher, the championship. always gripping. the burnley manager vincent kompany says the standard of refereeing in the premier league hasn't been good enough this season. he was shown a red card over the weekend during their draw at chelsea, after protesting against a penalty decision that saw one of his players sent off. the frustration comes from the fact

that is a succession of mistakes, and it's always debatable, so when it's one game and one event and is debatable, just like this case could be debatable, less so than other cases, i think, but you can always debate, but it is the succession of it for us this season, and the effects on points. kompany was speaking ahead of their game against wolves tomorrow night. we've also heard from the west ham manager david moyes today. he's urged the supporters to get behind kalvin phillips. the hammers were leading newcastle 3—1 on saturday when he came off the bench for the last 20 minutes and they ended up losing 4—3. the midfielder, who's on loan from manchester city, was involved in a heated exchange with supporters afterwards. calvin is a human being and can do things which we all do at different times, what you need to support and

he needs support behind them, he needs people to help them, and we will stand up and help them as much as we possibly can, and then, obviously, we need to give support to all of our players, wherever it is. england's women have won the first match of their one day series against new zealand by four wickets. at one stage the target of 208 in wellingon looked well beyond them, but an unbeaten 92 from amyjones saw them home. alex fletcher reports. fresh from t20 victory, england look focused, but looks can be deceiving. dropping suzie bates twice in the first couple balls, early frustration there for all to see. it was missed opportunities would be costly in the short—term, bates top scored with a half century, but when she fell, new zealand struggled to get going again, all upper

a target not beyond england but things started badly. tammy borman gone before it runs scored and by the time they reached 79. straight through danny white is amelia kerr. six wickets had fallen. jones quickly bringing up a half—century to give england hope and that target continued to get closer asjones hit an unbeaten 92, combining with her partner for record—breaking partnership to win the game. england had to hammonds and full of confidence. so, england one up with two to play, thanks to that brilliant knock of 92 from jones every game's important, but i think to start a series well makes it that little bit extra. obviously, you don't want to go behind early on in the series, so to get that win was, i think, huge for us. under tricky circumstances, and i think the whole batting group will get a lot of confidence in how we managed to get over that line today.

sri lanka have a big lead over bangladesh in the second and final test in chittagong. although 15 wickets fell on day three in chittagong. bangladesh resumed on 55—1 and were bowled out for 178 in theirfirst innings. asitha fernando took four wickets. sri lanka made a huge 531 in their first innings but have been pegged back in their second. hasan mahmud taking four wickets for the hosts. sri lanka closing on 102—6. they still lead of 455. the restricted mumbai for 125 over the 20 overs. royalist feast on their target with 27 balls to spare, winning by six despite england'sjos buttler oil and cheaply. that wins them —— that wing sends them to the

top the table. tom pidcock missed the opening stage of the tour of the basque country after crashing during a reconnaissance ride of the time trial stage. the british rider's team, ineos grenadiers, took him to hospital for further evaluation he wasn't the only one to crash. world time trial champion remco evenepoel also went down atjust the second corner. but the belgian recovered well to finish fifth. somehow primoz roglic managed to take a wrong turn, leaving the course where the motorbikes and support cars do. fortunately for the slovenian, that error didn't cost him dear as he won the stage by seven seconds. the best placed british rider was ethan hayter who came ninth. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today.. intense raffles one the grand national. written byjj severn, intense raffles one by an either half, any second now. formula 1
