6:32 pm
coming up for you in sportsday... resistance is futile... anderson spun out as england lose the third test by 203 runs. bordeaux gunning for henry. the frenchman is poised to shake on his first coaching job. coming up, i'll bring you the latest from the third of action at the paralympics championships here in berlin. hello and welcome to sportsday. it was inevitable. a question of when, not if. india wrapped up the third test match early this morning at trent bridge. james anderson the final wicket to fall. england losing by 203 runs. a big defeat that changes the whole feel of the series.
6:33 pm
patrick geary‘s been covering the series for us, where there was an early end to the day. it is an eerie place, a test match ground after the action has moved on. only one wicket to go, that england needed —— india needed for victory, and they took it after 17 deliveries, thatjimmy anderson, and it took about ten minutes. there we re it took about ten minutes. there were a few people to witness it, and a few more f they had stuck to the original pricing plan. they got stick on social media from the barmy army supporters‘ group. they offered a refund to everyone who had bought a refund to everyone who had bought a ticket and let people in the free, asking for donations to charity. i asked nottingham‘s director of why they had made that decision. we got
6:34 pm
they had made that decision. we got the policy wrong, frankly. we had decided to charge £10 for the fifth day. we never envisaged that the game would be poised in the manner it was at the end of the fourth day. with nine wickets down, clearly, there was a swell that we had done there was a swell that we had done the right thing. we decided to open the right thing. we decided to open the gates to refund those who had paid £10 for tickets. where does this leave the series? it is brilliant that india have won this and sets it up really nicely. think back to lourdes, a test match that ended two days because of the rain. india were a complete shambles. right from the momentjoe root asked england to bat, they were responsible and seemed to have learned from conditions. the test was won and lost in the afternoon session on sunday when england lost all ten wickets. england were bad with the bat while india were good with the bat while india were good with the bat while india were good
6:35 pm
with the ball. virat kohli was especially impressive. the bowling was impressive as well. jasprit bumrah ended the resistance ofjos buttler and ben stokes. the other thing, they‘re catching has been superb. point of difference from england, who dropped six of seven chancesin england, who dropped six of seven chances in this match. india have all the momentum going into the fourth test, which starts a week tomorrow. judging by what you're saying, england have a lot of thinking to do about how they approach the next two tests. what are they going to do? will it make any changes? who will be in and who will be out? there will be a bit of pressure for changes. at the top of the order is where the real concerns are. keating jennings has been dropped from the team once for technical problems, and has he really solve those? he dropped a few catches, which can be a sign that your confidence is going. that will bea your confidence is going. that will be a worry for him. rory burns might be a worry for him. rory burns might be considered. moeen ali scored 200 for worcestershire this week, and joe root said after the match that he was pleased he was pushing for a
6:36 pm
place. they don‘t want to see anything too dramatic. alastair cook‘s place is secure, and he will be allowed to step back in his own time. there will be pressure for a change in attic as much as personnel. england keep getting out too quickly under pressure, and there seems to be a lack of defensive technique of application. with this series will get tag, which it might, particularly if india win in southampton, they will have to show more grit and resolve. you can‘t imagine it being the same 11 down in southampton for the fourth test. thierry henry is in line to become the new manager at the french club bourdeaux. if the deal‘s done, it would be his first coaching role. henry — a world cup winner and a favourite at arsenal — spent the summer helping out with the belgian national side. and now it appears he‘s ready to strike out alone. i spoke to the french football journalist loic tanzi earlier and i asked him if henry—bourdeaux was a done deal. it's
6:37 pm
it‘s not a done deal yet. in the last negotiation, he said, yes, i wa nt to last negotiation, he said, yes, i want to be the coach of bordeaux, but it is not a done deal yet, because there is going to be a new owner in bordeaux in the next month, an american owner. 50 owner in bordeaux in the next month, an american owner. so they have to check everything. the new owner has to say yes. if he doesn‘t, —— if he does, tea every henry —— thierry henry will be the new coach. how welcome will he be at the french club, who have started badly, with two games and two defeats? will the fa ns two games and two defeats? will the fans welcome him? of course, because he is such a big name in france. he isa he is such a big name in france. he is a world champion. he is the best scorer of the national team in our
6:38 pm
history, so every fan of bordeaux would be really happy, and they were happy when the rumour went out. everybody will be happy to see him as the new coach of bordeaux, and a new world champion in our league. he was the coach of nice since the beginning of the summer. two new coaches, and great for france because this is the best advertising of the leak abroad —— of the league. that is really important. in england, we have adopted him, in a way, because of his time at arsenal, and it is why i asked whether he still has that appeal at home in france. maybe that‘s not so important, the appeal is a global one for bordeaux and the french league. yeah, because when you speak about the league abroad in other countries, there is paris st
6:39 pm
germain, monaco, marseille, but bordeaux is a big—name, not only for the club, but everybody knows the city, the wine. bordeaux is such a great name in the whole world, especially in asia, because they love the wine. it is a big brand for the league, and to have such a big—name asa the league, and to have such a big—name as a coach is really important for the club. that is why i think the league helps bordeaux to help him to come, and it will be important for the league, not just for the club. how big a job will it be to turn the club around after their poor start? we can't expect him to win the league this year, or to be in the champions league with bordeaux next year. but if you think globally in the future, they will have more money during the winter transfer, during the next summer
6:40 pm
window as well, so we have to be patient with him, because it‘s going to bea patient with him, because it‘s going to be a difficult year for bordeaux. it‘ll be great to see him at bordeaux. thierry henry, a manager. still to come on sportsday: she‘s a european champion and world record breaker, but maisie newton summers still can‘t believe it. to get gold, i thought i‘d get bronze. i wanted to come top three. i was completely shocked to get the world record. it has completely shocked me. great britain on the hunt for more gold medals at the european para athletics championships in berlin. wheelchair racer hannah cockcroft has been on the track. let‘s find out how she got on, and the prospects for the night. kate grey is there for us. good evening, chris. i can tell you that hannah cockroft has just been
6:41 pm
beaten in the t 3a 100 that hannah cockroft has just been beaten in the t 34100 metres by her team—mates and rival, . beaten in the t 34100 metres by her team—mates and rival,. kare adenegan had already beaten hannah cockroft at the anniversary games a few weeks ago. kare was coming into these championships as the world leader, and hannah having to deal with being second position for the first time ina long second position for the first time in a long time. here are these championships, it was kare that was claiming the title of european champion, the first time she has gonein champion, the first time she has gone in the top spot in the t 34. cockcroft had to settle for second for the first time in 2011 that she has not won in a major championships. brilliant news that the youngsters are coming through for the british team. quite a shock. we have another go, with vanessa wallace winning gold in the capital at 34 shot put. a brilliant result,

6:43 pm
uniform, we do it all over the world and show what team gb is all about. it's about the youngsters coming through. with the older athletes really educating and inspiring the younger generation. kare is an example, with her inspiration from hannah cockroft. she is assigning example. —— she is a shining example. —— she is a shining example. plenty more action to come. tomorrow, we will see aled davies in action, and sophie hahn will be in the sprint event in the evening. plenty more to come from the european championships in berlin. kate, thanks very much and enjoy your night. described as para—swimming s new rising star, maisie

6:45 pm
the messages. the support from home was amazing. you are 16 now, so you would have been six or something when ellie simmonds was winning gold in beijing at 13. was she an inspiration to you? yeah, london was where i first properly saw her and just thought, like, i want to be like her. she‘s the one that inspired me to start from those games. what about personal sacrifices, because, you know, 16, you quite like a light year in —— a lie in now and again. my friends alike, do you want to go shopping or go to alike, do you want to go shopping or gotoa alike, do you want to go shopping or go to a party or something? and i‘m like, sorry, i got training. i don‘t think they understood what it was until this week. when they saw that i‘d be ellie, i think there were like, oh, my god, she‘s really good at this. have you let your mind go

of goals like this — has returned to rangers after hearts accepted an improved offer for the northern ireland striker. serena williams has topped the forbes rich list of female athletes for the third year in a row. she was out for over a year having a baby, and only won about 50,000 pounds on tour, but she picked up over £14 million in endorsemnts and sponsorship deals. danny cipriani — the gloucester fly half — is at his rfu disciplinary hearing this evening. he faces further punishment for his imvolvement in a fracas outside a jersey nightclub. the rfu has repeated its desire to give full—time contracts to england‘s women internationals. it‘s a controversial issue because the union didn‘t renew the contracts of the world cup winning team last year, preferring instead to invest in the sevens format of the game. giselle mather is director of rugby at wasps, she says it‘s important to professionalise the game in the right way. as far as i see it, it is evolutionary,
6:48 pm
and you have to put it on the platform for women‘s sport in general, which has exploded, as it should have done, perhaps ages ago, but people are now seeing that it is not a smaller, slower brand of sport. it‘s different, and it‘s exciting that the women‘s game generally is an untapped platform in terms of sponsorship and media interest, and obviously that is gaining over time. if you try to do it too quickly, it will go wrong. a slow and steady approach is how i look at it. you have to get the balance right. if you make some players professional and others not, particularly in our sport, with the contact and strength elements, you have a group of athletes who are doing it every day and a group who are not doing that, then the group that produces is not going to work. "i‘m not afraid of dying." humbling words from lenjohnrose. the former blackburn rovers, hartlepool, bury, burnley and swansea city player put in more than 400 games for those clubs. he stopped playing some time ago and he had to continue
6:49 pm
working to pay the bills. he became a school teacher, but now at the age of 48, he‘s been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. len‘s been talking to radio lancashire. when we found out, we both broke down, but it was in the world‘s biggest surprise. probably, for the next week or so, i couldn‘t have been more pragmatic about it. it was, right, this is what we have got to do, and all that sort of stuff. mentally i was ok, really, for the first few days. like i say, a week. it was, let‘s get things sorted out. then it hits you, and that was when it started to be a struggle. then it hits you, and that was when it started to be a strugglelj then it hits you, and that was when it started to be a struggle. i would imagine, telling your wife would be the first horrendous scenario to go through that although she was around the whole time. she was with me. we went to the hospital together, to
6:50 pm
the tests together, what have you. so, we came home. we actually went to her mum‘s and told her mum, but we didn‘t really tell anybody else at the time, kept it fairly low—key. i had to tell my employers, obviously, because adjustments that had to make. —— they had to make. we are very private as a family. we didn‘t want it splashing all over facebook. we didn‘t tell the children for anybody at all. told a couple of close friends, dean west being one of them. and that was pretty much it. a full interview with lenjohnrose broadcast on bbc radio lancashire is available on the bbc iplayer. the story is on the bbc sport website, and if you‘re affected by these issues, help and support is available
