10:33 pm
touch, too. there's leaving liverpool rattled. the home side lost my optimism soon did it, though. salah brought down and saw crystal palace go down one. liverpool never looked comfortable, needing their expensive new goalkeeper to show his worth. on another day, salah might have got a hat trick, stopping him cost crystal palace dear. it was deep into injury time before liverpool ran away with it, sadio mane staying on his feet while all around were losing theirs ina game while all around were losing theirs in a game that lacked goals but not thrills. great three points in the great gain, not sure you would see that in the game, you want to see intensity. but if you want to see brilliance, a few times, it a few saves and a few tackles, but you can play better football, we have to. no wonder he

is smiling. manchester city's back—up goalkeeper claudio bravo looks set for a spell on the sidelines after rupturing his achilles tendon in training. he fell down the pecking order at the etihad stadium with the arrival of edison last summer. with city selling joe hart in the summer, their other goalkeeper is daniel grimshaw, who has yet to make a senior appearance. england women under 20s missed out on a place in the world cup final as they lost to japan in france. playing in their first semi—final, mo marley's side were beaten 2—0. gemma collis mccann reports. england in a world cup semi—final — an 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. lions traditionally hunt in packs.
10:35 pm
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 stopped by the woodwork. endo wouldn't make the same mistake. england's best chances came in the final five minutes. city's georgia stanway — the tournament's joint top scorer going into this match — went 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. they do still have that third place playoff to come. england face a real battle to avoid defeat in the third test with india. after yesterday's batting collapse, virat kohli's century saw india pile on the runs today to lead england by 498 at the close. england must now try and bat through the two remaining days, as patrick gearey reports. i cannot tell you it was an
10:36 pm
important day's cricket, but it was impressive from india and their captain. he again was the man of the moment. again in the crease when india went out to uneasy runs ahead. this drop at slip byjos buttler, the latest case to go down from england. after that, pretty plain sailing. this after the immortal ben stokes. after he offered a chance, he went to his second test century of the series, he looks in great form. after he went to chris was, hisjob to watch form. after he went to chris was, his job to watch the remaining india batsman to score runs as quickly as possible. the score 520, that lead, and it was 20—6 local time when he decided to call his bassman amp and send england out for an awkward evening session. butjennings and could get through 23 for no wicket. that is a plus for england but they are right up against in this test match. they are bowled out in an afternoon on day two, there are

that's in the telegraph. the metro describes the chaotic scenes at gatwick airport today after information screens broke down, forcing thousands of passengers to read flight details written on whiteboards. the prisons minister has admitted that up to 20 more jails are facing issues with drugs and violence similar to those in birminghamjail. that's according to the independent. the surging number of measles cases in europe makes the front page of the times. the same story makes the front page of the guardian, which says the outbreak has triggered a european health alert. and the daily mail reports on a new five—minute treatment, which it says could offer hope to millions of middle—aged men who suffer with an enlarged prostate. so a varied set of front pages, let's see what our reviewers make of it all. the telegraph talking about boris

johnson and were there to be a contest for leadership of the party, would a change of the party's rules help him is the question. possibly it would, but lord haig cautioning against call from the grassroots to make it easier for making against call from the grassroots to make it easierfor making him the leader. they are calling that if an mp were to get 20 other colleagues, they should automatically go to that ballot. currently it is only two mps they go. i think he is making a decent point. even if you want to reform the system and do not think it is democratic enough, to do it on a short—term basis for one particular candidate is certainly not the reason to overthrow the system as a whole. will there be a bishop contest anytime soon? yes, i think there will be. theresa may did not all —— go all the way to the

members because her competitor in the final round pulled up, so we never got a test to the mood in the party was then. this is really interesting because if you want to have influence in britain today as a voter, where you get more influence? maybe in your constituency work there is a safe seat and no chance of the changing hands. the labour party is very big for your vote gets diluted by many others. if you join the tory, the person you vote for may well be the next prominence. i think people looking at, pro brexit and anti—bursa, so they can penetrate this party and have a voice that i am denied at the deciduous a—level. voice that i am denied at the deciduous a-level. one of the questions is how popular is boris johnson out in the country, not in the party? in other words, if he we re the party? in other words, if he were party leader, how much of an asset would he be to the party?|j think you will see major sponsors on that if you look at what happened with his telegraph comment a few weeks back in his comments but the burqa in the language he used around that. when a part of the public, a
10:45 pm
large percentage agree with his comments. i think many will say that he isa comments. i think many will say that he is a man of the people, he understands our concerns and is not the correct as the rest of them, he gets us. but the same time, he has a lwa ys gets us. but the same time, he has always been very london centric and london focus, and many many of his opinions miniature go out to the rest of the country in the same way. but there is clearly a fear that he
