6:30 pm
hospital in croatia this evening. staff at gatwick airport are forced to write crucial flight information on whiteboards because of an it failure affecting screens. the problem has now been fixed. sportsday in a moment but first a quick look at what else is coming up on bbc news. as the government takes over the running of birmingham prison from gas, we will be getting reaction from a prisoner governor's association. and we will be finding out why the humble lobster has ended up out why the humble lobster has ended up as collateral damage in donald trump's trade war. we will be hearing from idris elba as he makes his debut as a director in a film set in jamaica his debut as a director in a film set injamaica and london in the 19705. at set injamaica and london in the 1970s. at io:a0pm and 11:30pm this evening i will be discussing tomorrow's front pages. that is all
6:31 pm
coming up ahead on bbc news, but now it is time for sportsday. coming up on sportsday, india's captain makes england pay a heavy toll at trent bridge. england's world cup adventure ends in tears, the under 20s lose to japan in their semifinal, and in the premier league mo salah is looking to strike at the palace tonight. hello.
6:32 pm
a great day for india. the series is alive again. the third day of the third test match at trent bridge all going the tourists‘ way. virat kohli making a century and india eventually declaring on 352 for seven, a lead of 520 runs over england with two—days still to go. patrick geary is at trent bridge for us. patrick, how impressive have india and kohli been today? very impressive indeed. i cannot say it was a gruelling day, it wasn't, but it was incredibly effective from kohli and india. they were in a strong position going into today, 292 runs ahead because of england's batting collapse on sunday. there was one opportunity, but it was
6:33 pm
dropped byjos was one opportunity, but it was dropped by jos buttler was one opportunity, but it was dropped byjos buttler in the slips. that is the latest opportunity to go down in the slips, i think six in this match. it is a situation england will be concerned about. kohli kept going and although he was offered a chance in the nervous 90s, went to a century, his fourth slowest in his career which shows how he has adapted to the pace of the game. he's an amazing form. eventually chris woakes got him in an lbw. then they had to score runs as quickly as they could to get the india lead up above 500 and that would really worry england. then he had to pick his moment and decide when he wanted to declare which he did at 20 to six which gave england a nasty session in the evening to get through. that was a difficult situation for them to get through. jennings and cook at the crease.
6:34 pm
england 23 for no wicket after that declaration at the close and that is at least something for them to cling to what they are right up against it in this match. the bit more about that because what hope if any can england take from the current situation? it's difficult. at least we have got through that session, that will be a plus. no opening batsmen monster go out there with india's bowlers having a good rest. alistair cooke is one of the few batsmen capable of batting long periods of time. but that's when he's in form and he's in no sort of form. his last big score was 200 in melbourne, the boxing day test, but since then he's averaged 20. english batsmen are not the type that stick around, they are very attacking which is their strength but also their weakness. india will hope to
6:35 pm
get this done tomorrow. england will point to the fact they are 2—0 up in this series so they want to take the good things that happened at lord's and edgbaston but they will be lessons to be learned from trent bridge. jonny bairstow injured early on in the day, the wicketkeeper for england, and looked to be in severe pain as he came off the field. any news on him? it looked really nasty. he was keeping wicket when it hit his middle finger and he is as hard as nails and doesn't show pain so when he went off like that it was very concerning. we've since learned it was a small fracture so that finger which is not good news but we understand he will be batting if required in the second innings but we don't know the longer term outlook, whether he will play in southampton or in the final match of the series at the oval. he is england's second best batsmen, and
6:36 pm
if india win here they will need jonny bairstow right in the thick of it. thank you. england's under 20 women have been knocked out of the world cup. the women — playing in their first semifinal — were beaten 2—0 byjapan. so just the third/fourth play—off game to play for. gemma collis—mccann reports. england in a world cup semifinal, and increasingly familiar sight. this time the turn of the young lionesses, on the hunt for a place in the under 20 final. and mo marley's side made a good start, chloe kelly denied by the slightest of touches in the opening minutes. but it wasn't long before japan began to make their mark, dancing around england's defence — just unable to find the target. it was riko ueki who broke the deadlock, giving japan the lead and control.
6:37 pm
lions traditionally hunt in packs... not these ones though. manchester city's lauren hemp increasingly left to go it alone. japan doubled their lead just five minutes later... riko ueki denied by the woodwork. jun endo wouldn't make the same mistake. england's best chances came in the final five minutes. manchester city's georgia sta nway, the tournament's top scorer going into this match, going closest. tears for england under 20s as their run to the world cup final is brought to an end byjapan. gemma collis—mccann, bbc news. liverpool are at crystal palace in the premier league tonight. liverpool started their season with an easy a—0 win over west ham. mo salah, who scored 32 premier league goals, last season opened his account at west ham. but palace, who beat fulham in their opener, might provide a tougher test forjurgen klopp‘s side. and the liverpool manager — after his team's great pre—season and that opening win — appears keen to keep
6:38 pm
a lid on expectations. we feel in a good moment already since a few weeks, months... i wouldn't say years but it's getting better and better so that is an important thing because we are still in the process. we have to develop, that is what i said. we are not the best team in the world so there's a lot of space for us to improving all the different departments. that is what we try to do and obviously that is very important because we are not alone. 0ur supporters like the way we do it so thatis supporters like the way we do it so that is very important because i have said a few times, if you cannot deliver or the supporters ask for something impossible when it is not a very healthy situation. we feel it isa a very healthy situation. we feel it is a healthy situation. you look at the attacking threat
6:39 pm
they pose and you think and work on they pose and you think and work on the training field at trying to make certain players know where the threat is coming from and what they might be able to do tactically and positionally to nullify it to some extent. when i say nullify, you are not going to stop it completely because we are talking about players of the highest possible class. you can keep up—to—date on that game on the bbc sport website and radio five live. still to come on sportsday... you'll hear how the latest sport to enter the paralympics is giving a new purpose to one british athlete. when i get the gold medal or any medal, ifeel like i have really achieved something. so, the european para athletics championships are under way in berlin. fifteen gold medals
6:40 pm
up for grabs today. great britain's hollie arnold was hoping to secure her second major title of the year, having won javelin gold at the commonwealth games back in april. kate grey is there for us. how did she get on? ican i can confirm that in the last few minutes hollie arnold has become the european champion here in berlin. that adds to the commonwealth titles she did earlier in the year. she manages to do a whole lot of honour for people cheering her on and she did win by a significant margin. she has dominated the event for many yea rs has dominated the event for many years and looked comfortable so that was the gold for great britain but there was another gold from harry jenkins in the t33100 metres. many
6:41 pm
of his competitors got reclassified just before the start of the competition so there were only two competitors but it was a brilliant achievement nonetheless which means great britain have a two gold medals as well as four silvers and a bronze. not a bad start for great britain, what are the prospects for the team of the week? there's a lot to look forward to over the next six days. great britain have 51 athletes in total computing and lots of familiar names to look out for. richard whitehead will be taking to the track, paralympic champion in the track, paralympic champion in the 200 metres t61 category and he's had a tough year coming second at the world championships last year. he was thinking about retiring but he's here competing and will be going for the european title and there will be an interesting battle on wednesday in the t3a100 metres.
6:42 pm
hannah cockroft will not want to lose that race. the final one, i can see over your shoulder the crowds are see over your shoulder the crowds a re low see over your shoulder the crowds are low and i have been watching for most of the day on madoff the action there. does the paralympic movement still have a lot of work to do to bring people to para athletics?” think you cannot deny this is not a packed out stadium and that is one of the reasons they are holding this event at this sports park rather than the olympic stadium that we saw in volley athletics a few weeks ago. there's more work to be done with regards to getting fans here. we will see more turnout during the course of the week because we will see some big german names taking part. this is the first evening, we have only had an evening of action rather than a whole day so we cannot be too critical at this stage but it
6:43 pm
is clear we are not getting the big crowds compared to the world championships and also the paralympic games. 0k, enjoy your week. because that for great britain in berlin. there'll be a brand new para—sport on track for the european championships this week. race running is an adapted discipline for athletes with severe mobility issues. miriam walker—khan went to meet a national race running champion to find out more. six years ago, rafi solaiman was just a regular 12—year—old. he loved football, running and playing on his scooter. until one day his life was turned upside down by a brain haemorrhage. he fell unconscious. got him to the hospital. his heart had stopped by then but they managed to get it restarted. we were told he was locked in, that he could probably hear and would understand what was going on. could not move. that was really distressing for us all. rafi was in hospital for almost one year.
6:44 pm
and gradually began to recover but was left unable to walk and talk properly. he tried out several sports to help his recovery, like wheelchair basketball and para football. but he was either too physically able or struggled with his balance. that is until he tried race running. a sport for people with disabilities including cerebral palsy and parkinson's. it allows people with mobility issues to experience the feeling of running and, in his case, running fast. when i get the gold medal, or any medal, i feel like i have really achieved something. i am proud of myself, you know? race running helps me feel free. my mind zones out of everything. although race running has been around since the 1990s, it only became a world para athletic sport for the first time this year and it will be at the european championships for the first time. and he is one of the four race runners who has been chosen to represent team gb.
6:45 pm
this is happiness. i was there. honestly, it was amazing. rafi first tried out race running in 2015 at a cerebral palsy taster session at his local track. we provide all the bikes to start with and the helmets. we have qualified coaches that will enable the children to try race running for the first time. learn some of the basic skills. and then they have the opportunity to take it from there. supporters of the sport say that in order for participation to increase, coaching education needs to improve. and the bikes, known as race runners, need to be more affordable. most athletes currently rely on crowdfunding to pay for them. but rafi knows what he needs to do to get to the top. my ultimate goal in race running is to hopefully reach the paralympics. ijust need to keep the training, eat loads of fruit and hopefully i will get there. let's round up some
6:46 pm
of the day's other stories... we'll stay with the european para athletics championships in berlin, where there's been disappointment for double paralympic champion libby clegg. she was forced to withdraw from the 100 and 200 metres for athletes with visual impairments on the eve of the championships due to an injury to her guide runner, tom somers. england rugby union international danny cipriani has been fined an additional £2000 by his club side gloucester. it's after he pleaded guilty to assault and resisting arrest on their pre—season tour to jersey last week. he'll also undertake ten hours of community service coaching local children. england and sale winger chris ashton could miss the start of the season — he's facing a ban after being sent off for punching castres' rory kockott in a pre—season friendly for new club sale sharks on friday. the liverpool goalkeeper loris karius looks to be on his way out of the club, with a loan move to
6:47 pm
besiktas in the offing. kenny miller has left his player—manager role at livingston after just seven weeks. he only took the position earlier in the summer after succeeding david hopkin, who led them back to the premiership. would you paint your living room this shade of pink? how about your bathroom? teams will go to great lengths to put their opponents off. perhaps you would consider painting your changing room this colour. norwich have painted the away team's changing room pink. norwich declined to comment but in their two games so far at carrow road this season, norwich lost one and won one so is it working? dr alexander latinjak is a lecturer in sport psychology
6:48 pm
at the university of suffolk. why would this work, what's the science behind it? colours are linked to different behaviours and different feelings since we were infants. when we were infa nts we since we were infants. when we were infants we were presented different colours in different contexts and think makes us relaxed and becalmed because it was presented usually in a peaceful context. so the theory being the away team goes into the changing rooms at carrow road and they come out onto the pitch feeling far too relaxed to think about winning. is that... realistically, would that happen? no, i don't think so. they might feel a bit more relaxed. everybody knows that will happen so they have professional
6:49 pm
sports scientists who would come to reflect these intentions. further more relaxed doesn't mean you don't wa nt to more relaxed doesn't mean you don't want to win, relaxed is actually a state when you can perform quite well. it is good for tactical decision—making, so one thing is you might be more relaxed but marginally so. if it works, that is something. another completely different thing is it you actually played better or worse, if you actually win or lose. so they have wasted a lot of paint? i don't know, it depends, but i wouldn't have done that, no. what tactics might they employ that might work better than a camel pink paint? and wouldn't really... if i were a tea m and wouldn't really... if i were a team like norwich, i would be
6:50 pm
concerned on how to make my players lay better than how to make other players play worse. i would love to players play worse. i would love to play against a team who is at their best and beat them at their best and not try to beat them at their worst. that's a good point and we will leave it there. thank you very much indeed. jimmy mcilroy, the former burnley and northern ireland forward, has died. he was 86. mcilroy played a97 games for burnley between 1950 and 1962, winning the old first division title in 1960. richard askam looks back on his life. jimmy mcilroy had a rare talent, a foot old gentleman and quite simply internally‘s greatest ever player.
