it's obviously disappointing that we are here at lords and full of that optimism about what the summer holds for us. but i need my focus to be on my family for this period of time and obviously i'm very grateful for the ecp in supporting me through that. so, strauss confirming former england coach andy flower will look after things. one of his firstjobs: overseeing england's two—match test series with pakistan. it starts on thursday, and dom bess could be handed a debut in that one. the 20—year—old says he's determined to seize his chance after being thrust into the squad. our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. a breath of fresh air at lords will help the flags flutter in the breeze. it will help the england dressing room, too. it is essentially what dom bess revives, just 20 years old and caught up in the team because his somerset team—mate broken thumb and dom bess took a phone call about his selection mod furniture shopping with his go for it. has been to lords once before as a 12 man. he enjoyed the lunches. what he will

bring to the team is positivity. don, in terms of what time of older you see yourself as, when you are a start of a run—up with the ball in your hamlet you think is going to happen? wickets, hopefully. attacking off spinner. that is the thing i get very competitive. which isa thing i get very competitive. which is a trait of mine i think. again it depends on the role of the situation and everything. you are always looking for wickets, aren't you? get, you are. has there been any progress on the situation was not i need to get over to ikea because i have been needing some sofas. it still hasn't been purchased? well, no. as soon as i was straight out that i placed a phone to mum and dad. i need to have a quiet word with ikea because i think they have got a bit of press about it as well. i need a sofa. at this stage of the

season i need a sofa. at this stage of the season they are always and short term aims. pakistan in england for two test matches and england would like it spin bowler to cement his place for the next decade. i doubt it will settle for a summer. studio: get that man a sofa. joe wilson reporting. onto some football news, and england captain harry kane says his team have "nothing to lose" at this summer's world cup, and they should "just enjoy" the tournament in russia. the tottenham striker was confirmed as captain by manager gareth southgate this morning. at 2a, he will be the youngest player ever to lead the national side at a world cup. he was picked ahead of spurs team—mate eric dier and liverpool'sjordan henderson who've both worn the armband for england recently. kane says he will try to change the mentality of the side going into the tournament. we area we are a bit afraid to say we want to wind because we are afraid of the reaction of maybe the media or the fa ns reaction of maybe the media or the fans will stop so maybe that has made the players go into a bit of a shell, whereas what i am try to say is look, we are not afraid to say we

wa nt to is look, we are not afraid to say we want to win it. because every country want to win it. because every cou ntry wa nts to want to win it. because every country wants to win it. so we have to be brave, we have to take that on the chin. in the group stage or it is the same. if you don't win the world cup. that is what we have got to try to discuss that players, just to try to discuss that players, just to have no fear. west ham now have one of the world's "most respected" football coaches, according to the club's chairman david sullivan. manuel pellegrini has signed a three—year deal at the london stadium. and here's how the hammers announced it on social media. an arty and moody looking video. pellegrini won the premier league with manchester city in 2014, and takes over from david moyes who left the club last week. the chilean says he wants to bring in ‘four or five' players. not the only managerial appointment today. because, stoke have named gary rowett as their new boss. he's left derby to take over from paul lambert who walked away following stoke's relegation from the premier league. this is sports day from the bbc sport centre. lets round up some of the rest
