performance. we expect a high—scoring game, looking at this england side and any form of top international cricket you expect scores tomorrow. breaux we have not raised, and for quite a while it certainly gives scotland a lot more exposure and the days of not knowing who you will play against aragon seven the extremely competitive side we are looking forward to playing tomorrow. tyson fury will make his return this evening over two years since he vacated his position as a world heavyweight champion following auk world heavyweight champion following a uk anti—doping investigation. he ta kes a uk anti—doping investigation. he takes on albania at the manchester arena and our reports or is there for us this evening. that has been a long road back for fury but can you explain some of the issues that have
7:45 pm
led to this absence? this is a night many people thought they would never see again, 92a days since tyson fury last fought back in november 2016, since then, a lot of problems, drink problems, drug problems, and depression. some mental health issues as well, he said at one point he was taking cocaine to did with his mental health issues but many people thought he would never come back but he has come back, he's here tonight at the manchester arena and we spoke a couple of days ago and here's what he had to say. if you wa nt here's what he had to say. if you want to do something crack on and if you don't want to do is walk away. i've done hundreds of rounds with
7:46 pm
many tough guys and have trained ha rd many tough guys and have trained hard enough and they're looking forward to getting there and i can't wait. it's been a long time so i'm eager to get an anxious to get in and i'm looking forward to it. fury has become quite a big name in this country but what do we know about him kaman? he has 23 victories, one defeat and that one defeats came at heavyweight, you may have seen yesterday fury picked up his opponent during the weigh—in, weighing injust opponent during the weigh—in, weighing in just under 20 opponent during the weigh—in, weighing injust under 20 stone opponent during the weigh—in, weighing in just under 20 stone so fury nearly five stone heavier and nearly a foot taller as well. so many people here don't expect this one to go on too long but most people here aren't worried about that, they are here to see tyson fury fight again and win again. let's have a look at some of the
7:47 pm
other sports stories. qualifying is under way at this weekend's canadian grand prix, he was 500th of a second ahead they are struggling as they look to attain the curtis cup which is the elite events and the united states need just ten and a half points to reclaim the curtis cup. great britain is through to the final of the bmx world championships and it was not follow braked the 2017junior world and it was not follow braked the 2017 junior world champion went to the women's quarterfinals and you can watch all the final on the bbc sport website. that follows the victories in the
7:48 pm
under 20 and under 17 world cup last year. many people are saying that's this one is wide open, that once again britain are amongst the favourites to lift that trophy, the five—time winner were in huge the impressive form but the memory of their last match in the world cup finals still weighs heavily upon them. they have won five world cup titles and the most successful team in the tournament history, they go to russia this summer looking to banish some very different memories. one result has been a cloud over this nation for the last four years. it was a woeful performance. it's
7:49 pm
a-o it was a woeful performance. it's 4-0 to it was a woeful performance. it's 4—0 to germany! brazil are being humiliated. we have witnessed one of the truly astonishing victories in football history. what was meant to be the moment of glory at their home world cup finals ending in that humiliating 7—1 defeat to germany in the semifinals so how will that impact the summer in russia, to rio and speak to south american football expert tim. thank you forjoining us and we will get to this years final
7:50 pm
shortly but first of all tell us how long you feel it's taken this nation football obsessed to recover from that result against germany. there's a stain on the carpet which is not going to come out anytime soon, that's there for all time but since the current coach took over brazil have been flying and if you go back to years you really did see to be a possibility would miss out on a world cup. and since then, they had been absolutely flying and now they go to russia with infamous optimism andi go to russia with infamous optimism and i think is a possibility that not only that they might win it but also that they might remind us of why we all fell in love with that famous yellow shirt. perhaps for one man in particular, neymar who was meant to be his tournament in brazil
7:51 pm
since then he's moved to paris saint—germain, the world record transfer, i wonder how people in brazil think he will do this year given where he's been playing and the hike that has been around him since that move? a lot of pressure on him because this is the world cup that will probably play it closes to his peak and he was still on the u pwa rd his peak and he was still on the upward curve last time around. there's a big difference this time from four years ago in 201a brazil really were very, very dependent on his flashes of individual brilliance and perhaps that pendants on him hole and psychologically and collapsed when he was put out of action. this time around, they have got a solid team, a team that is really firing so this time brazil have a team that perhaps could give a platform for neymar to really shine. we look forward to hearing more from you during coverage of the world cup. world cup where brazil
7:52 pm
have all the wounds to heal, they won't have the pressure of islam tournament this time around but they do know the only way to satisfy their football obsessed reporters is that lift the trophy. to liverpool fa ns that lift the trophy. to liverpool fans he may always be king kenny but kenny has another title, sir kenny after he was knighted in the queens birthday honours list in recognition of his services to football and the city of liverpool. liverpool football club, they have become only the third team this century to win the third team this century to win the first division championship and the first division championship and the fa cup. 1986 was a famous year for kenny, his truly was a trophy laden career. 29 major titles as a player, 1a as a manager, so how did
7:53 pm
he find out the news of his 19? there was a letter that came to the door and opened it, i looked at it and it was brown and i thought it's and it was brown and i thought it's a tax bill here. perhaps it is anfield where he's mostly fondly thought of but before he arrived in 1977, celtic was his home and there we re 1977, celtic was his home and there were titles aplenty in glasgow as a player for the scottish national team, his record of 100 to caps still stands today. it's a great reflection on every part of your life when you're growing up with your mum and dad the way they set your mum and dad the way they set you up and their morals and their ethics and the way they behave like they did and then you move your own family as well and i've been
7:54 pm
fortu nate family as well and i've been fortunate and come across are lot of great people. she is well-versed in hearing his name chanted from the stands and he'll have to get used to being known as sir kenny from now on. the golden state warriors have won third nba title after completing a comprehensive a—o win over the clevela nd a comprehensive a—o win over the cleveland cavaliers. seth curry scored 37 points. lebronjames claims 23 points in what could be his final cavaliers game and 2017. that's it from us for sports day there's more on the bbc sport website and we will be back, the for now. good afternoon, some of us today

7:56 pm
