7:32 pm
of scottish football. steve clarke's side could make it through to the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time if they can claim victory over hungary, and this shows you just how tight it is. germany have already qualified courtesy of their two victories, while the goal difference of switzerland should see them through regardless, so if scotland can claim all three points it should be enough to see them take one of the best third placed positions and progress to the last 16. let's take a look at the scotland team, accounced around 30 minutes ago. scott mckenna is in — he places the injured kieran tierney. tierney was ruled out of the rest of the tournament with the hamstring injury he suffered against switzerland. mctominay and mcginn vital, with andy robertson and anthony ralston getting down the flanks to provide the service to che adams and co. let's get more now from jane dougall in stuttgart. the fans are filling up the stadium. we can see saltires a trip to the ground, and as you can hear, there
7:33 pm
is already singing going on, there is already singing going on, there is one unsupportivejohn mcginn. but they will need to be an almighty purse from the tartan to support their country tonight. a win against hungary would give them the best chance of going through to the knockout stages. a loss on it is all over. but they do have a game plan. sometimes, patience pays off. in theirfirst sometimes, patience pays off. in their first match against germany, scotland's tactics we have gone awry. but again switzerland, experience prevailed to give them a still more. now for tonight's match against hungary, the strategy has to be spot—on. i’m against hungary, the strategy has to be sot-on. �* .,, ., against hungary, the strategy has to be spot-om— be spot-on. i'm hoping for a 2-1. i think we can _ be spot-on. i'm hoping for a 2-1. i think we can do _ be spot-on. i'm hoping for a 2-1. i think we can do it. _ be spot-on. i'm hoping for a 2-1. i think we can do it. the _ be spot-on. i'm hoping for a 2-1. i think we can do it. the first - be spot-on. i'm hoping for a 2-1. i think we can do it. the first time l be spot-on. i'm hoping for a 2-1. i think we can do it. the first time i | think we can do it. the first time i want to hampden _ think we can do it. the first time i want to hampden was _ think we can do it. the first time i want to hampden was 1966 - think we can do it. the first time i want to hampden was 1966 and l think we can do it. the first time i want to hampden was 1966 and i | think we can do it. the first time i - want to hampden was 1966 and i have been supporting them ever since. just a _ been supporting them ever since. just a dream. like all the fans here, — just a dream. like all the fans here, we _ just a dream. like all the fans here, we are _ just a dream. like all the fans here, we are right— just a dream. like all the fans here, we are right behind. - just a dream. like all the fans here, we are right behind. fillj just a dream. like all the fansl here, we are right behind. fill! just a dream. like all the fans here, we are right behind. alll can

7:35 pm
either. whatever they have gone, the tartan army have made friends, to and baffling in equal measure. —— delighting and baffling. let's take a look at the permutation. scotland can't afford to lose tonight. if they do, they will finish bottom of they do, they will finish bottom of the group and they're going home. that is the worst case scenario. if they draw, they finished the group stages with two points, and that could be enough to go through in third place. however, that heavily depends on other countries and other groups, and it is unlikely. scotland have to beat hungary for the best chance of getting into the knockout stages for the first time in the history. that would mean the bid finished in third place, purchase or doesn't guarantee that they would go through. they need to be one of the four best third placed teams in the tournament. the only way that they
7:36 pm
could finish second is of switzerland were to lose heavily to germany and scotland were to beat hungary by a huge margin. don't forget that scott and's difference is not good after that 5—1 defeat to germany in the opening game. it is also an open air, but paterno is that scotland to see much in the opening game. it is also an open air, but we do know is that scotland have to go to here tonight and give everything in there's 90 minutes. so, this evening's other game sees hosts germany face switzerland in frankfurt. julian nagelsmann has named the same germany side who beat hungary on wednesday. he's not made any changes to his starting xi so far in the tournament. the hosts are already through. switzerland may still need a point to qualify. england continue their preparations for tuesday night's final group c match against slovenia in cologne. 0ur football reporter alex howell has been following the team and the build up, and can bring us more from the press conference earlier today that came after a number of criticisms of the england players
7:37 pm
since their last game. harry kane was answering questions about the draw with denmark. he was one of a number of players who were criticised during that match for the performance. his fitness was a question, and got a circuit has also spoken about how the players ardent in the physical condition to play how they have done in the past. and macro—three has spoken about what that has been like as a crypto under deeper if they had. but he spoke about the criticism that he and the team received and what it is like to be on the receiving end of that. everyone is entitled to their own opinion and i know that major tournament football, it is going to be even heightened, and every performance will be scrutinised, and if i'm honest, have i played the best that i know i can? no, but i didn't score in the group stage in the world cup all in the uterus, so from my point of view, it is a bonus
7:38 pm
to be one got ahead. —— and the euros. i alwaysjudge myself to be one got ahead. —— and the euros. i always judge myself as command i know i can play better. i know a lot of the players in the team think the same. you know a lot of the players in the team think the same. you spoke about the fitness of — team think the same. you spoke about the fitness of the _ team think the same. you spoke about the fitness of the team. _ team think the same. you spoke about the fitness of the team. what - team think the same. you spoke about the fitness of the team. what did - the fitness of the team. what did harry kane say specifically on that? it is very unusual to see the england captain taken off in any match for his club for his country, and even more than us open at the scores are level. he all—time leading goal—scorerfor scores are level. he all—time leading goal—scorer for england, scores are level. he all—time leading goal—scorerfor england, and he was taken off when it was 1—1. but he says he feels physically fine for some years at a good set and he says it is just that tad throughout our two major turn, those things are under more scrutiny. he also pointed out the previous tournament, gareth southgate tick harry kane off in a match against scotland. he said it is not a new thing in his role as captain hasjob changes. he goes to
7:39 pm
the bench to support is timid. but he says england can grow and to the treatment and pick up momentum as the hope to move into the last 16. —— to support his team—mates. one more football story to bring you. former liverpool captain alan hansen has been discharged from hospital following a recent illness. hansen received well wishes from across the game after becoming seriously ill earlier this month. a family statement on the club website says that the 69 year old will "continue his recovery at home". it goes on to say that his family "thank everybody for their wonderful messages of love and support." hansen spent 1a years with liverpool, winning eight first division titles, three european cups and two fa cups. defending champions england are into the t20 world cup semi—finals after beating co—hosts the usa by ten wickets in barbados. chrisjordan starred with the ball, asjo currie reports. when england lost on the strong two weeks ago, the rock upon a thread. now a big win given a big chance of

7:41 pm
in afghanistan as much as anywhere in the world, cricket is joy. this history puts sport in context, but also underlines its importance. to beat australia on a tricky pitch, they would need a platform, so the afghan opening pair got building. together, they made 118 of a total of 148. a score that would have to defend or the semifinals would be out of reach. that was the start they needed. two other aussies followed travis head, but that was just a prelude to the big show. glenn maxwell made his nickname through force. he smashed 50 rapidly. to stop him, afghanistan would need something equally spectacular. he knew the significance, the telling moment. before, in the final over, the winning moment. one of the biggest victories in afghanistan's cricket history. an ode tojoy.

7:53 pm
hello there. we've had a taste of summer this weekend, and that summer heat is going to be continuing into the start of next week, but it doesn't mean it's going to be sunny the whole time. many of us saw quite a lot of cloud on sunday. this was the view in gloucestershire. but if you did manage to get that sunshine coming through, well, it definitely looked like a picture postcard here in worthing. now, over the next few days, yes, that heat is going to be building and we will continue to see some sunny spells. a little bit of rain in the forecast is possible. as we head through this evening and overnight, it is going to be a very, very mild night with temperatures quite uncomfortable for some. generally clear skies, maybe a little bit of cloud across some central and eastern areas, and those temperatures maybe not falling any lower than 16 celsius across some southern parts. even further north, nine or ten celsius, still very mild. monday morning, then, might start off with a little bit
7:54 pm
of mistiness in place. we have this weather front which is just trying to edge into northern ireland, parts of western scotland, so here perhaps a bit more in the way of cloud and some drizzle. plenty of dry and fine weather across northern parts of england and temperatures widely in the mid—20s in celsius, 2a, 25 celsius. some parts of aberdeenshire might even make 26 celsius through tomorrow afternoon. pollen levels generally going to be very high across the uk — if you're a hay fever sufferer, you don't need me to tell you that. then as we head through monday and into tuesday, we have this cold front still trying to make its way in. high pressure trying to keep it at bay, but that cold front will eventually bring quite a bit more cloud to many northern parts of the uk. further south, some blue skies coming through. generally it's going to be dry, but that front mayjust give a few showers from scotland extending down into northern england. and you can see the temperature difference where that front comes through. temperatures around 1a celsius here.
7:55 pm
