alone play into. as here from two of england's biggest players. what a game. it started to swing. may for his fabulous spectacle. placed in fed was cricket. i'm proud of the group. and i said this morning all i wa nt to group. and i said this morning all i want to see was the desire and belief we showed in the previous days and we got that again today. brilliant start to the series. we can build unannounced. this series i fill is set up nicely now. the fact that we did not play and we were so close in the game says that everything about us as a side. if we stick together and play 80, 80 5% of where we can, i think will be exciting and competitive. if you enjoy test cricket there is still another for matches to come in this series. england won it but expect india to fight back. benneteau sta rts india to fight back. benneteau starts at wards on thursday. a
7:36 pm
fantastic starts at wards on thursday. a fa ntastic start starts at wards on thursday. a fantastic start to the series for england. a fantastic start for celtic. celtic started the defence of their title with an easy win over livingston. tom rogic opened the scoring for celtic as they went on to win 3—1 peter haring scored twice as hearts came from behind to win away at hamilton. kilmarnock began their scottish premiership campaign with a win over stjohnston and st mirren got a late goal to beat dundee 2—1. the football league season also got under way this weeked. brentford were the big winners as they beat rotherham 5—1 at home. there were three 2—2 draws all with late equalisers. a 1—1 draw between bristol city and notts forest. home wins for preston and wigan. west brom, who were relegated from the premier league last season, lost 2—1 at home to bolton. another team down from the premier league swansea havejust beaten sheffield united 2—1.
7:37 pm
in the day's early game in league one, sunderland beat fellow promotion hopefuls charlton 2—1. but they left it late. scoring twice in the second half, with the winner from lynden gooch coming in the 96th minute. all the results and reports from every game in the football league — and scotland — on the bbc sport website. in the national league, newly promoted big spenders salford city drew their opening game of the season with leyton orient. ryan giggs — the wales manager and salford shareholder — was watching, alongside his former manchester united team—mate & co—owner paul scholes. they saw new signing rory gaffney open the scoring in the first half. 0rient‘s pressure after the break paid dividends with craig clay's shot turned into his own net by liam hogan. a sensational performance from swimmer adam peaty had the water at boiling point in glasgow as he won gold at the european championships in glasgow. and that wasn't all he broke his own world record in the process and left the other swimmers over a second
7:38 pm
and a half behind. total domination. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilson reports. these new european temperatures are indeed a new concept and thus far i think it had been going well. the weather and glasgow has been quite cool weather and glasgow has been quite cool. but the volunteers had been out. and most of the venues have had decent crowds. but what we have really needed is some kind of sporting spark something for the world to pay attention to. and guess what? it was adam peaty here at the aquatic centre today who provided it. we will show you here essentially the second half of his 100 metre breaststroke final. it was clear even with the turn that peaty was going to win. but what about the time? remember it was the existing world record holder of 57 113 seconds. and you remember that he and his coach had this ambition to get below 57 seconds. as peaty got
7:39 pm
nearer and nearer to the end of the race, you could hear the noise growing and growing. inside that swimming pool and the time it stopped at 57 seconds dead. i can't say i was stay behind a group of commentators from all over europe and there were people there punching the air. —— i can say. not british but in recognition of the achievement of adam peaty. 0ne but in recognition of the achievement of adam peaty. one way of putting into context is that the mana of putting into context is that the man a second who has gone on lease and bounds in glasgow was still over and bounds in glasgow was still over a second and a half late. leskard does have special significance for adam peaty think back to the 2014 commonwealth games. —— glasco does have special significance. it all started for him here. that was on his mind as well as his achievement when he spoke after the end of this race. truthfully now, i is so horrible for the support. this journey that i've been on an os for yea rs has journey that i've been on an os for years has been incredible —— so humble. 0dyssey to go 1—2 shows that
7:40 pm
tea m humble. 0dyssey to go 1—2 shows that team gp resting in between the client but pushing and pushing. —— tea m client but pushing and pushing. —— team gb. 0h, client but pushing and pushing. —— team gb. oh, my god i cannot believe it. there was another british metal right at the end of this session. in a new event, the four by 200 m relay. two men and two women in that. in terms of individual comp —— provocation performances, three came through the semi—finals. which suggests they will compete for medals themselves. as for adam peaty, he still has his 50 metres breaststroke to come here at the european temperatures and he suggested today after his world record that in his own mind, there is not actually an especially good shape. —— he is not in good shape. he said he was tried but he had gotten himself in the best shape for
7:41 pm
the championships. this is his ninth european title. and he hasn't been beaten for four years. you watch him lose in the commonwealth games in australia. i think that is what has fired him out. —— fired him up. that was it was for him to have something to aim at. if you have followed adam peaty it's amazing to see that four yea rs peaty it's amazing to see that four years ago he was a smaller person and now he is huge not only physically but mentally. he was only 19 four years ago. he was a wee lad then. he is so unassuming in such a nice character but when he gets to the point he is a monster. —— to the pool there was disappointment for great britain's rowers who could only manage a silver medal in the men's four at the european championships in glasgow. that they are at the bottom of your screen. having enjoyed tremendous success at olympic level, they were beaten to the gold by romania. they finished last in their final.
7:42 pm
they finished last in their finallj saw that they really shut out. they shot out in the heat and we couldn't get back to him. we slightly ran out of water today. we will go away and train harder. there was also a silver for the women's eight. they finished half a length behind romania. so close. this is our first race at hmb chipper got up. with this group. like in 2016 of his something special. this is hopefullyjust a building block two world championships. where temperatures altercations, qualifications developers. hopefully this is the starters of something quite special. and must be tough for them to be
7:43 pm
interviewed by matthew. how many gold medals that he win it team of the when oedema begins? britain's gymnasts it team narrowly missed out on a medal in the women's team final at the european championships. after some early mistakes, britain's young team — which was missing several athletes through injury — fought back with impressive performances on the final two rotations to finish fourth, just over two points behind the netherlands who claimed bronze. we showed fight as a team and i think that is what we are known for. the girls have done so well to pull together and we have tried so hard. it just wasn't enough. i think the picture does restore it here. look at the looks on their faces. that is the irish hockey team. ireland, defying all expectations, have made it to the final of the hockey world cup. not many of you would have seen this coming, ireland, they will face the netherlands
7:44 pm
indexed. —— next. the second lowest ranked side in the tournament, beat spain in a thrilling semi—final. 1—1 at full—time the match went to penalties with ireland coming out on top 3—2. their second shutout of the tournament. and once again i came out on top. jo currie reports. ireland's incredible journey in this world cup continues. a team of part—time players and amateurs turn the world of hockey on its head. and then i find themselves into their first ever world cup final after squeaking past spain in the last format. —— format. —— four. they came in their droves and all forms of transport for a match they never dreamed of. it was a mad scramble for flights and tickets. two weeks ago when the tournament got under way people predicted it would be england in the semi—final. but ireland have beat the odds and teams ranked much higher than them and found themselves on the cusp of history. this all—ireland side team ranked 16th in the world were brought to bare their teeth.
7:45 pm
—— about the bared their teeth. anna 0'flanagan getting them off to dream start with the final touch to settle the nerves early on as they dominated the first half. a change of ends brought a change of fortune. levelling for spain and ensuring the match had the penalties. —— headed to penalties. for the second game in a row, ireland took their chances in a shoot out. tied at 2—2 after the first five rounds, it went to sudden death. it came down to gillian. and the midfielder stood tall sending her team through to a first—ever world cup final. i think it is safe to say this team will go down in history. i didn't know if i'll ever play with a bunch of girls. they deserve this so much. maybe the fact that we are amateur makes a statement more. i hope that this gets the credit it deserves because we are in a world cup final. like, it doesn't really get much better than that. and we have
7:46 pm
exceeded all expectations. let's get thoughts from former great britain players. first of all held. but into context how big this is for a team like ireland quizzed about it is massive. i think they have been in the world cup three times before. last time was in 2002. to even be at this world cup was a massive achievement but they have taken time out of work, trained full—time for the last six months. they have had to be supported by their families financially and have put everything into this and have been rewarded with a world cup final against the world number one tomorrow. and it is just going up on so hat —— i am so happy for them. i think they deserve to get here. they have played some nice hockey and deserved to finish on the top of that pool. tomorrow will be epic. kate, no one mentioned ireland as possible winners of the start of this tournament. how well the degree to get to this point? we have played against ireland for
7:47 pm
years and every team we ever played against them had so much pressure is on chart. that is been unquestionably now they have brain structure. well—organized defensively. they but i grit and determination but also technique and tactic. his coaching staff have done an exceptional job. that tactic. his coaching staff have done an exceptionaljob. that goal they scored with alex, they hadn't practise that play two days ago. they executed on point. and they reach the final. you do not take anything away from ireland. but this would have been the route they would had to the final. any case for ayman? i think england is looking on it thinking what could've been. no game has been easy and ireland have dug in deep to get through. it was not an easy route. no game is easy. but they didn't do it unfortunately and they didn't get the win in that
7:48 pm
first game against india and not quite again in the second game against usa. we are guided for our team—mates a very good friends. we we re team—mates a very good friends. we were devastated to see them upset last night. unfortunately theyjust didn't do it. the final then, ireland against the defending champions netherlands, how much hope do they have heading into a? we spoke to graham and he has been there for for years as if her game and shall give them one. this and now he has got one now on the world cup final. it is an orthodox for the docks. —— cup final. it is an orthodox for the docks. — — dutch. cup final. it is an orthodox for the docks. —— dutch. they will be the numberone docks. —— dutch. they will be the number one contenders. ireland have to defend exceptionally well and if they get a little sneaky chance, go out there with confidence and take it. but they have so far this term it. but they have so far this term it. island against the defending champions netherlands tomorrow. that match starts at 4:30pm. you can hear the commentary on bbc radio. i'm biased because i love hockey.
7:49 pm
but it is been brewing. it has been great like the soccer world cup. you can argue that. in theirfirst season, leeds rhinos have won the women's challenge cup final, beating castleford tigers by 20 points to 14. despite losing just one game all season, leeds found themselves trailing by six at half—time when georgia roach crossed. however adam cuthbertson rallied his side, who responded with three unanswered tries in the second 40. amy staveley drew them level before lois forsell wrapped it up in the dying minutes. coach cuthbertson can't spend too long celebrating. he's playing in the men's semi—final tomorrow england's georgia hall is still in contention at the women's british open — just a shot off the lead going into sunday's final round the players weren't the only ones chasing birdies at royal lytham — take a look at this cat on the prowl in the rough. how sweet is that? it is alligators
7:50 pm
and states. —— in the united states. 0n the course, pornanong phatlem takes a one shot lead into the final round on 13 under par. hall's putter came to her rescue on more than one occasion, with a birdie at the last meaning she'll be in the final group tomorrow. so here's the leaderboard as it stands going into the final day. phatlem leads by one from hall. the longtime leader mingee lee of australia further back in the field now. just three shots off the lead. 0ur golf correspondent iain carter is at royal lytham, earlier i spoke to him and asked if he was surprised by hall's strong showing. iam not i am not overly surprised because she seems to have a couple of things going. links and the big event. it was at this temperature 12 months ago that she had her breakthrough moment. finishing third there. that cemented her place in the european
7:51 pm
solheim cup team. and that brings me onto this. she it was a big overall defeat for your blaster. but she does show that she has the appetite for the big time. big galleries are following her. she is in the final group. and it was a real battling performance. i don't think her overall game is as consistent as it has been over the first two days. for the first time she dropped a shot with one bogey coming on the 13th. but she bounced back well. birdies at the 15th, 16th and then another drop shot at 17. but she made up for that with a brilliant birdie at the 18th in that round of 69. and she isjust one birdie at the 18th in that round of 69. and she is just one shot off the lead. i was watching it hear and eyes saw her hold some real clutch putts. especially on the front nine. i think she has been immensely proud of this sort of bogey free record
7:52 pm
owing to the first two rounds of a major chairmanship without dropping a shot is no mean achievement. and i think she was trying to keep that run going as long as she possibly could. indy and she faulted on the 13th but in between times, she made great saves. right from the word go on the first band on the second as well. when she drove into a bunker and then had to hit a 12 footer. through that front nine she made a string of clutch putts and really the putter was on fire. she did have birdie chances around the turn as well. that is on the putter went a little cold but i was really impressed by the way that she had come down the closing stretch of holes picking up the birdies as i said, 15th and 16th and then crucially at the 18th which puts her in the finalgroup crucially at the 18th which puts her in the final group for the last round. you talked about the large galleries following her around. how important is it for her to have an english girl right up there for the event? i think it is very important because the lpga tour is a very
7:53 pm
international set up. it is asian dominated. here in britain, a number of those players who are very dominant around the world and very impressive around the world are not exactly household names. so the crowds to have someone to latch onto in the shape of george hall is fantastic for the event because it really does give it a focal point for the google crowds. —— georgia hall. but that is... it gives all these others chances to shine. a good time for a mission goal. she's very excited. and she is young, 22 and a long way to go. it is also good for england. 0ver young, 22 and a long way to go. it is also good for england. over in the united states it is equalled or says he never does well at the british invitation. he shares the lead. they lead a high—quality field that includes th world number one dustin johnson, rory mcilroy and tiger woods. —— the world. another day under way
7:54 pm
in akron, ohio. ian poulter still there. on 13 under par through three holes. tommy fleetwood who did so well for such a long time at the open, jason day has been in terrible form. and rory mcelroy still in the hunt. nine under par through six. no word if tiger woods. the last i saw him he was six under par. still hanging on. he has won the bridgestone invitational eight times. he was doing very well. i don't know where he is. i think his putting it is just not what it used to be. just tell them "it is you're putting, tiger!" andrea dovizioso, on his ducati, will start the czech moto gp on pole position after dominating qualifying in brno. britain's cal crutchlow was fifth fastest. dovizioso, currently fourth in the world championship standings, upset fellow italian valentino rossi, to secure his first pole of the season. it came in the last seconds too. world champion and runaway series leader marc marquez,
7:55 pm
completed the front row in third. 18—year—old apprentice jockey jason watson recorded the biggest success of his career on the final day of glorious goodwood. watson guided 20—1 shot gifted master to a narrow victory overjustanotherbottle in the stewards' cup. the season's leading apprentice said the result was extra special as he was brought up close to the track in sussex and had been visiting stewards cup day with his family since he was eight. that is a nice story is in it? england have won the cricket. ian poulter to her love of the goal. adam peaty. adam peaty broke his record. what a good day it has been. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening for you. bye for now. good night. hello. it is a tale of two halves
