rock now for scotland, because today's successes in various sports minister is guaranteed to beat scotland's best away from home commonwealth games to date. and a great day for england in the diving, all in orderforjack great day for england in the diving, all in order forjack laugher. great day for england in the diving, all in orderforjack laugher. if the games are about reaching aims at hitting targets, the shooting centre was the perfect place for scotland to dojust was the perfect place for scotland to do just that. they have never won 30 medals at an overseas games, but with gold in the double trap, they set a new record. but the scottish contingent absolutely beside themselves. i took a lot of time off uni to train, slapping pretty much professional for the last few months, so all the dedication has been worth it, definitely. the silver went to the isle of man,

their first silver went to the isle of man, theirfirst medal of silver went to the isle of man, their first medal of the games. earlier, scotland had taken bronze in the women's's event. nothing like going out with a bang. at my age, 54, i going out with a bang. at my age, 54, lam really going out with a bang. at my age, 54, i am really pleased with that. it means the world to me. with the weather this good, many heading for the water. with only a few weeks training together, england's team admitted to winning it in the synchronised three metres wendy springboard. it paid off. this is the only time we have been training, so we were the only time we have been training, so we were not expecting anything. to wina so we were not expecting anything. to win a silver medal is great. but as is so often the case, it was not until after dark that the real fun began. jack laugher, called for england in the one metre springboard. magnificent effort,

died after a dive after dive, it was never really in doubt, this man is unstoppable. and for scotland, too, another moment of history. bronze went to james heatly, scotland's first diving medals and is 1958. the winner of that day, his grandfather, peter heatly in the same event. scotland's they almost got better, but were beaten on the bowling green by wales. at the athletic stadium, not a day to remember for england. amongst the favourites in the high jump, it all went wrong. but scotland's medal haul continues to grow —— record medal haul. they also w011 grow —— record medal haul. they also won silver in the 100 metres behind her great rival from australia. another place on the podium on scotland's day of success. football

doesn't feature at the commonwealth games, but there have been ball skills on show. this has been staggering crowd is on the big screens around here all day, the rhythmic gymnastics. you can see the close ball control in this sport. this is england's hannah martin,, still in contention for a medal. as the music goes on into the night, thatis the music goes on into the night, that is the end of day seven at the commonwealth games. plenty more to look forward to tomorrow, particularly in the athletics, and the finals of the 200 metres for the men and women. england have big hopes there. staying with the commonwealth games, england secured their biggest netball win over new zealand to finish top of their group, 54—45. a spokeswoman of the

athletes earlier. —— i spoke to one of the athletes. today while to pull away, but always good to play a bit ofa away, but always good to play a bit of a part. never beating them in a major competition, but class all the way through the court. really came into the game, and in the end, a deserved result. england unbeaten on the gold coast. how much of a chance to keep that run going against a jamaica side? they will be happy in to avoid australia first. to actually get that top spot and avoid australia in the semifinal, that is big news for england. jamaica, fourth in the world, will be a big test in the semifinals, they will see it as an opportunity to get into the final as well, but england are flying high at the moment, full of confidence, this is the best chance ever to make that final. in the first time the commonwealth games final with a gold medal will not be contested between australia and new

zealand. if england do get there, isn't an obvious question who they would like to avoid if they have a choice? i see australia not making the final, they have played well, scored more than 70 goals more than eve ryo ne scored more than 70 goals more than everyone else, and new zealand are not playing the best met by the moment, so we have to presume australia who are at home and the favourites are in the final, they have never not been in the final. but they have not been tested yet, and england see it as an opportunity to ta ke and england see it as an opportunity to take on the world's best industrial and try to beat them.“ england do add up with the cold, looking a bit ahead, which would be an astonishing achievement, where would that rank amongst achievements foran would that rank amongst achievements for an england netball side? one of the best. we are third in the world, and only started to beat australia and only started to beat australia and new zealand in the last five yea rs. we and new zealand in the last five years. we used to go to competitions, believed we were going for a bronze, but now we are up there challenging. england wants to be number one in the world, this will be the start of something new for them, and if they can get the

gold it will be a game changer. the scheme has shown where international netball is at, england have a real chance to take history. football now, manchester city boss pep guardiola has been charged as often with improper conduct after being sent off during last night's champions league defeat against liverpool. uefa have also charged liverpool. uefa have also charged liverpool after fireworks were set off and objects thrown inside the etihad stadium. leon osmanjoins me 110w. etihad stadium. leon osmanjoins me now. jurgen klopp cannot wait for friday's drawer. the first champions league semifinalfor the friday's drawer. the first champions league semifinal for the club in ten yea rs, league semifinal for the club in ten years, and they reached at co mforta ble. years, and they reached at comfortable. they did ultimately. the damage was done for manchester city in the first leg, to concede three goals in such a short space of time, jurgen klopp took his team to the etihad stadium last night knowing that they have got so much firepower. one goal would probably do it, and it turned out to be the case. we see the blue jesus putting manchester city ahead, but the 39th goal of the season for mo salah. has

there been a better signing by a premier league side who has had as big an impact in his first season? yes, the impact, he has hit the ground running. the body expected him to play as well as he has, but certainly score as many as he has, and have the assists he has had. i think whether the experience at chelsea, having played in the premier league, knowing what is all about, he was determined to come in and show what a top player he is. and at the moment, leading his team on on. manchester city have the lion's share of possession last night, as we imagined it would, but they did not create enough chances, which was the problem. that was the tale of possession last night, as we imagined it would, but did not create enough chances, which was the problem. that was the tail over both legs. they did not test loris karius enough last night, the goal raheem sterling scored was with a mistake, virgilvan dijk

sterling scored was with a mistake, virgil van dijk getting caught out. throughout 18o virgil van dijk getting caught out. throughout 180 minutes, manchester city did not stretch liverpool enough. they did not find the gaps we are used to seeing them find against other teams. liverpool deserve a lot of respect for that. what of manchester city? there was talk of a quadruple not long ago, we will still end up with two trophies, but is there a sense that this season but is there a sense that this seasonis but is there a sense that this season is as long—awaited even though they will win the premier league? it is because of how fantastic they have been, they have dominated this premier league, co mforta bly dominated this premier league, comfortably the best side we have seen comfortably the best side we have seen for a number of years, creating chances, scoring goals at will, it has been fantastic to see. we thought we might win the quadruple, the unprecedented quadruple, but i'm still sure they will be really pleased, they will go on to lift the premier league trophy, the have already got a league cup behind them, so they will ultimately look back on it as hopefully the first of a few steps for them. liverpool will

not be playing barcelona andy last four, how stunned when you buy the exit last night? —— in the last four. we do not expect barcelona to be on the wrong end of those results. last year, they beat psg, reversing a big fixture, they do the damage, not the other way round. i felt that the goal roma got was vital at the company the previous week. i still thought it was out of reach, but what a fantastic showing on the night by those roma players. —— the michael goolaerts. not only to score the three goals, but to keep the green sheet. bayern munich face seville at home, my ministry— zero up againstjuventus. —— real madrid 3—0 up. zero up againstjuventus. —— real madrid 3-0 up. i think the teams within the ties at the moment,

juventus away from home will struggle. i think real madrid will have too much in that game, and bayern munich, going to seville, they have scored a lot of goals this season, but bayern munich at home in the semifinal of a champions league, you do not expect them to be beaten. thanks for coming in, leon osman, former england and everton midfielder. still to come on sportsday, the first woman on the front cover of wisden, we will hear from anya shru bsole. front cover of wisden, we will hear from anya shrubsole. there she is, the 2018 edition. i get there has always got to be a first for something, but i hope this is the first of many. —— i guess. i want to see many more female cricketers on the front cover in years to come. and after announcing he will step down at the end of the season, find out why mick mccarthy is leaving ipswich earlier than expected. let's have a look at other stories around

today, as leon osman believes the studio. matthews has died at the age of 56. he was eight times gold medallist in the visually impaired athletics between 1984 and 2000. the first paralympic into the seat and mbe, in 1987. -- to first paralympic into the seat and mbe, in 1987. —— to receive and mbe. johanna konta will lead britain's tea m johanna konta will lead britain's team injapan johanna konta will lead britain's team in japan next johanna konta will lead britain's team injapan next week. the british rubber one isjoined team injapan next week. the british rubber one is joined by team injapan next week. the british rubber one isjoined by heather watson. a win for britain would secure a place in the world cup, which they have not featured insta nce which they have not featured instance 1983. and salford red devils will play in a specially commissioned shot on magic weekend to raise money for the we love manchester fund, set up after the terrorist attack in may last year. it has raised money for victims and theirfamilies. it has raised money for victims and their families. —— specially commissioned shot. three england's players are among wisden's five

cricketers of the year, and anya shrubsole is the first woman to appear on the cricket almanac. three of them were in the world cup winning side. it is always a special occasion, the announcement of the five wisden cricketers of the year, and this year, here in india, particular celebration for three members of the women's england team. world cup winners in the 2017 team. particular celebration for anya shrubsole, who particular celebration for anya shru bsole, who becomes particular celebration for anya shrubsole, who becomes the first female cricketer ever to be on the cover of the famous cricket annual. it means a huge amounts to me personally, but the thing i feel the most about it as it is such a great reflection of where women's cricketers, but alsojust how reflection of where women's cricketers, but also just how big and important, how much the world cup when the really captured the nation. you could put a number of

people in the world cup winning team on the cover, and it would have had exactly the same impact. i guess there always has to be a first for something, but hopefully this is the first of many, and city of other funeral cricketers on from covers in years to come. not too much time facility for women's england women's team, because they have an important match tomorrow. they have never won and odi series here in india, they have the opportunity to do that tomorrow. a brilliant performance by everyone the other day, and to come back from such a close game that we arguably think we should have won, says a lot about the team. hopefully we can make a bit of history tomorrow. we are not a perfect team, we are still developing. the world cup win was a fraction ahead of schedule, to be honest, but we are still developing. we have come out here with quite a young team, but hopefully we will have a good training session today at the ground running in the next game. the development in wisden is the clear

acknowledgement of the influence of last yea r‘s world cup acknowledgement of the influence of last year's world cup win. now mark robinson and the coaching staff are working towards the world's t2o in the caribbean, endeavour to aware that last year's success will inevitably build anticipation. mick mccarthy brought his six—year spell asa mccarthy brought his six—year spell as a switch manager to an earlier dramatic end, saying i am out of here after last year night's ones— zero win against barnsley. he was due to leave at the end of the season, but he was left furious about fa ns' negative season, but he was left furious about fans' negative reactions to his substitutions. —— 1—o about fans' negative reactions to his substitutions. —— 1—0 win. at full time last night, hugs and handshakes all round. little did fa ns handshakes all round. little did fans know mick mccarthy was actually saying goodbye. he had already announced his intention to leave in the summer, so in the end, his departure was premature. but for many, long overdue. eitherway, he caught a few by surprise.

disgraceful reaction to that. but listen, i would have to listen to it again, that is my last game. i will see you when i see you, i am out of here. mick! mick! phil, you are in the press conference last night. what did you make of that?|j the press conference last night. what did you make of that? i think eve ryo ne what did you make of that? i think everyone was quite surprised that he left in the manner that he did, midway through answering a question, and says i am off in the middle of answering a question. we were quite stunned, but i do not think there is a lot of surprise he was moving on. 5.5 years in charge, saved them from relegation and guided them to the play—offs. he also went out on a whim. but he has been in an uncomfortable position, knowing he is off. i have enjoyed the fact that iam not is off. i have enjoyed the fact that i am not in control. the [ads have been fantastic. i enjoyed that again today, i thought we played well. but

the situation i am in now, i'm ca reta ker the situation i am in now, i'm caretaker manager in my ownjob, which is ridiculous. so i'm happy to move on. mccarthy was, and still is, very popular here amongst players and staff. he was the championships longest serving manager. —— of the championship. but i have spent time with and interviewed him on numerous occasions, and it is clear he felt increasingly unappreciated and undervalued by firms, and last night, finally, one boo too many. an angry reaction to a substitution through the final straw for fans and for him, but the club insists last night's departure had already been agreed. the search goes on.“ night's departure had already been agreed. the search goes on. it is a proper search, wards of names have been presented to us by agents of other interested parties. it is not a decision to be taken lightly. it will take time, and possibly passed the end of the season. for now,

academy boss is in charge. the owner has promised funds an interview on camera for the first time in the coming weeks, but says he will not rush the appointment of town's next permanent manager. so mick mccarthy out. just before we go, a chance to watch our reporter making a splash at the commonwealth games. he was interviewing some swimmers earlier ina swimming interviewing some swimmers earlier in a swimming pool. what could possibly go wrong? i'm gritter to jump possibly go wrong? i'm gritter to jump into the water. i need to be careful because i have got a michael goolaerts run. congratulations. i didn't see the step! sorry about that! that has given you all a good laugh! i will have to get rather close. —— i have got a soundpack on.

all the people watching here are literally on the floor. and now he will get £250 from you've been framed. he will need that before the microphone. that is all from me for now, more sport throughout the evening. more news in the past few minutes from westminster against president michael goolaerts resume in syria. what is the mood music that is emerging from the government tonight? —— president assad's. emerging from the government tonight? -- president assad's. we know that the prime minister has some tough decisions on her plate. should she ordered british forces to ta ke should she ordered british forces to take part in direct military action in response to the apparent chemical attack outside damascus? and if so, should parliament at western study

involved in that decision, be asked to give its approval. —— westminster. what i'm hearing to notice that theresa is definitely ready to the go—ahead. she also does not think parliament should have say before the action takes place. urgency of time is one reason. the prime minister, i hear, is of the view that action to take place quickly before there is an opportunity for an repeat attack. but i would also expect the prime minister not to see missing quite these terms, she shortened to ask president trump to hold off while she consults opinion here at westminster. so the assumption is that action will come quite soon. officially, the prime ministers still saying if the assad regime is found to be responsible for the attack, but the working assumption is that they will become an action is that they will become an action is expected soon. do you think conservative mps will
