manchester city are up to second in the women's super league spring series with a 1—0 victory away at sunderland. city dominated with 20 shots at goal but had to wait until the 91st minute for georgia stanway‘s winner. there were also wins for chelsea and arsenal. birmingham's match with yeovil ended level. defending champion novak djokovic is into round 3 of the french open after a straight sets victory over portugal's joao sousa. the second seed raced through the first set and was tested a little more in the second and third to wrap up the win injust over two hours. djokovic will face the argentine diego schwartzman next. rafa nadal is also through, he beat dutchman robin haase in straight sets. british number three aljaz bedene lost his second round match against the czech republic's jiri vesely, and then sought to clarify reports suggesting he might switch

allegiance back to slovenia, the country of his birth. having been blocked from representing britain in the davis cup, bedene says he "will fight" on. i read a few interviews and i don't actually remember because i get nervous, what i'm saying, but one of the things is until it looks like it's done, it's not done yet for me. i really want to play for great britain and i'm still hoping, really. so, yeah, i haven't really thought anything outside of that. two—time wimbledon champion petra kvitova's comeback has been cut short. she was knocked out in round two — beaten in straight sets by the american bethanie mattek—sands. kvitova missed five months after being stabbed in the hand by a burglar last year. sam warburton will captain the british and irish lions for the first warm—up match on their tour of new zealand.

since then, kits, bats and hairstyles have changed. the outcome hasn't. until now, perhaps? if you are near an england net session today, you are best off keeping an eye out. these guys are specialists in big hits, and big scores. what's bad news for visiting bowlers and local pigeons is good news for expectant england fans! coming into the tournament as one of the favourites is pretty flattering. this trophy, and the world cup, they are huge opportunities for this squad of players. they are hard—working and talented, and recognise that we do have something special. making the most of that is hopefully gathering some silverware along the way. bangladesh remember when england got it wrong. these were the scenes when tomorrow's opponents knocked england out of the last cricket world cup. australia and new zealand are also in england's group. if they get out of it, india may await. this competition is short and sharp, the least forgiving in the sport.

it cranks up the excitement. it is one thing we haven't had in the last two years, must win games against the top eight teams in the world. it's very exciting in that respect. and like i said, it is part of our development as a team, to turn performances on and off. you cannot turn injured knees on and off, so england are being careful with ben stokes. they will decide how much he bowls tomorrow morning. decisions about risk and reward are key to this tournament. england know the line between the two is ever thinner. patrick gearey, bbc news. just time for one line from horse racing finally and the british horse racing authority is to bar inexperienced apprentice jockey gina mangan from riding rank outsider dee—ore lear in saturday's epsom derby. the authority says its made the decision to put responsibility first. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rachel cunliffe, deputy editor of the political news website, reaction. and 0wen bennett, deputy political editor of huff post uk. welcome to you both. tomorrow's front pages. the guardian sasteremy corbyn challenged amber rudd over the impact of the government's spending cuts following his last minute decision to take part in the bbc election debate. the daily telegraph notes that the home secretary

represented theresa may in the debate, just 48 hours after the death of amber rudd's father. the times reports that the prime minister is concentrating on brexit after her refusal to take part in tonight's tv debate. the daily express leads on theresa may's warning that jeremy corbyn is plotting uncontrolled immigration if labour wins the election. under the headline ‘justice' the metro leads on the surgeon who's been jailed for 15 years for carrying out needless breast cancer operations. the ft reports that china and the eu have agreed a climate pact as doubts emerge over the us‘s commitment. we can begin with that debate in cambridge. was it a mistake for theresa may not to take part because jeremy corbyn at the last minute did? this is the front page of the times, have faith in me. implying that theresa may is hard at work on

brexit. she once this election to be about brexit, but it is not really being talked about with people. and i've been out with mps, it is rarely coming up on the doorstep. i've been out with mps, it is rarely coming up on the doorstepm i've been out with mps, it is rarely coming up on the doorstep. it was supposed to be the brexit election. that is what she would like it to be, it is what tim farron would like it to be, who said he is representing the 48%, but it is simply not about brexit. it could have been a mistake her not turning up, buti have been a mistake her not turning up, but i don't thinkjeremy corbyn did enough to make it a mistake. the debate will not have changed anyone's mine. the opportunity was there forjeremy corbyn. how did you seeit? there forjeremy corbyn. how did you see it? slightly scrappy. shouting. yes, amber rudd was auditioning for the role of theresa may, and she said, it is going to be a coalition of chaos if they get in, and they

started arguing and shouting over each other, proving that point. i feel bad because the last time i was oi'i feel bad because the last time i was on this programme i said she was within her rights to not debate and it seems like a smart decision, and it seems like a smart decision, and it was at the time, but with the poll gap having closed it is now looking more risky. but i think it would have done her more damage if she had you turned yet again and decided at the last—minute that she would be there. every single leader would be there. every single leader would have made the point that this is her yet would have made the point that this is heryet again would have made the point that this is her yet again not strong and stable, but just making is her yet again not strong and stable, butjust making another u—turn. stable, butjust making another u-turn. although it was a u-turn for jeremy corbyn. yes, which never mentioned. he said he wouldn't take pa rt if mentioned. he said he wouldn't take part if she didn't, but then he did. the guardian had got the same debate story, jeremy corbyn confronting amber rudd over cuts, in a fractious debate, but that is what you would

expect with the seven politicians arguing over 90 minutes. actually, jeremy corbyn did not confront amber rudd enough, he started off, saying, have you been to a food bank, and i thought he was going to act like this is a choice between him, the leader of the labour party who has turned up, and the underling
