6:32 pm
the fourth test against india. i'll be reflecting on today's champions league drawl, with four english side featuring. and join me at here at st george's park where earlier today gareth southgate revealed who's in and out of his first england squad since the world cup. and we'll have the latest from the us open and where no woman has gone before, lizzi armanto takes an conical‘s infamous loop. but does she make it? hello and welcome to the programme. let's think back to start of the summer, when england were 2—0 up against india with that tense win at edgbaston followed by a crushing victory at lords. since then, the tourists have been demonstrating just why they are the world's number—one side.
6:33 pm
winning at trent bridge and now in southampton, a disastrous start for england on day one. 0ur reporter adam wild is there for us. adam, england struggling again with the swinging ball? england struggling as you say, india coming here with the momentum after that big win in the momentum after that big win in the third test. england chose to bat despite all those batting problems, which looked like a poor decision in hindsight. england again struggled with india's attack. looking at the action, keatonjennings the first ago in bizarre fashion, losing the ball mid—flight. he won't want to see the replay again, his place in the team now in doubt. that brought
6:34 pm
joe root 2 degrees, he lasted little longer. also outs, lbw. johnny lester had been a doubt for this test, batting with a broken finger. quite what part that played in his dismissal, only he will know. by the time he went, cook went to the wicket, and inward in real trouble. court 36—4. that brought to the wicket salmon curran and moeen ali. those two wrote to the side, ali making a0 before getting himself out playing a rather extravagant shot. we've seen that sunday times from him, haven't we? sam curran did manage to last the bill of the dad, making 78 and a brilliant innings, passing his 50 with an extravagant six. he was by far england's best
6:35 pm
option with the bats. 2a6, all out. given where they were, getting to 2a6 certainly seems like some achievements. india has started batting in the last few moments, 19-0. batting in the last few moments, 19—0. close of play coming up in the next few moments. it has been a to psy—tu rvy next few moments. it has been a topsy—turvy day in a topsy—turvy series. the champions league returns in just a few weeks' time and the greats of the game are in monaco tonight where the eagerly anticipated draw for the group stages has been taking place in the last hour. four english clubs have been waiting to hear their fate — manchester city, manchester united, tottenham and, of course, last year's runners—up, liverpool. john watson has the details. asigh of a sigh of relief for some, not so much for others? starting with
6:36 pm
totte n ha m , much for others? starting with tottenham, as we know, champions league last season, they did really well up against real madrid in their group. but they've been drawn against another spanish side this season, barcelona, the five—time european champions. alongside them, psv eindhoven and inter milan. which are psv eindhoven and inter milan. which a re pretty interesting psv eindhoven and inter milan. which are pretty interesting prospect of lionel messi playing against, well, totte n ha m lionel messi playing against, well, tottenha m fa ns lionel messi playing against, well, tottenham fans will say, one of their greatest of in harry kane. but it will be really tough for totte n ha m , it will be really tough for tottenham, not least because inter milan are added to the group as well. looking at how the other english teams are going to fare. jose mourinho has had a tough start to the season, losing to microbe is opening three matches. they've been drawn alongsidejuventus, valencia and young boys. it brings back memories of 1999, when manchester united beat juventus memories of 1999, when manchester
6:37 pm
united beatjuventus in the semifinals when the won the treble that season. juventus, a very interesting prospect, not least because cristiano ronaldo, having swapped real madrid forjuventus, he has been the top scorer in six successive champions league seasons. did he provide the impetus to see juventus go on and win of the title this season? elsewhere, what about this season? elsewhere, what about this for liverpool? the beaten finalists in the last campaign, drawn against psg, red star belgrade and napoli, who are now managed by carlo ancelotti, who knows a thing 01’ carlo ancelotti, who knows a thing or two about winning champions the titles, having won three previously. that just leaves manchester titles, having won three previously. thatjust leaves manchester city, semifinalists last season, and pep guardiola will certainly feel he has a favourable draw in group f. shakhtar donetsk, liam firm and
6:38 pm
hoffenheim. —— lyon. they had success hoffenheim. —— lyon. they had success last year in the league, record points and goals gods, but can he now claims that team in europe to go on and win at the champions league? pep guardiola will himself hasn't won jump in sleek since 2011. huge success of barcelona, couldn't do it with bayern munich, can he now do it with man city? let's get some reaction to that draw with ian dennis, who is 5 live's senior football reporter. there's lot to get through, but in your who's, best from that? without a doubt, manchester city, they have the preferred group. shakhtar donetsk, with the troubles in ukraine, play in khakis. with the other teams, lyon and valencia, they
6:39 pm
are the best of the groups. a lot of people have been talking about ronaldo returning to old trafford forjuventus. they're fancy to win at the whole thing? it'll be interesting to see how he beds then, it but he needs no introduction in the champions league, he's the record goal scorer. when he is returned previously against united, he's scored in both games against them. they also have young boys in there and valencia, it's difficult group for united, especially on current form, though sadly not as ha rd current form, though sadly not as hard as liverpool or tottenham. totte n ha m hard as liverpool or tottenham. tottenham have inter milan as well as psv, and for liverpool, psg, the atmospheric statement in naples for napoli, as well as red star belgrade. those two have the two
6:40 pm
ha rd est belgrade. those two have the two hardest groups. however, liverpool's form last year, teams in europe will certainly be fearing liverpool. you touched on it there, which grew, if you had to pick, is the group of death? there's always one labelled that, and it is probably group g with tottenham, barcelona, psv and inter milan. question marks, we know tottenham's firstgroup game will be played at wembley, we don't know where the other two will be played because of the uncertainty over wembley. tottenham showed they are capable of doing it on the big stage, but those two groups are the most eye—catching. stage, but those two groups are the most eye-catching. thank you very much. gareth southgate's named his first squad since that brilliant run to the world cup semifinals this summer. not too many surprises though. a return for manchester united's luke shaw, and a very first call up for southampton keeper alex mccarthy. jo currie reports from st george's park. the
6:41 pm
from st george's park. dust may have settled on england's the dust may have settled on england's impressive performances at this summer's world cup, but there's still a glow around gareth southgate and this england squad. today he showed loyalty to many others players that helped guide england to that fourth—place finish in russia. but he has injected youth into the side. joe gomez‘s impressive performances for liverpool has seen him called up, hoping to add to his three counts. also a surprise election for alex mccarthy of southampton, he was uncapped at the moment. the headline belongs to luke shaw, the manchester united defender backin shaw, the manchester united defender back in the international setup after a turbulent couple of seasons. the man who replaces in the setup is is united team—mate, ashley young. he has had a difficult period in terms of adapting to a new club, a horrendous injury that he had to overcome. so, really impressed with
6:42 pm
physical condition he looks in. he has added a lecturer age to his game in as couple of matches i've seen, when the game has been against his team, he has been showing the desire not to lose. looking back to his powerful best, going past people, which is something we feel in the tea m which is something we feel in the team that can be added to what we had, getting that extra penetration in wide areas. so i'm really pleased for him, first and foremost, it looks like he's playing with confidence and he's always been a player we liked from the u21 all the way up to this side. first up for the side is england's first—ever u efa the side is england's first—ever uefa a nations league at against spain on the 8th of september followed three days later by a friendly against leicester —— in
6:43 pm
leicester. gareth southgate became an unexpected fashion icon this summer an unexpected fashion icon this summerand he an unexpected fashion icon this summer and he admitted the waste government's days may be numbered. not sure i'll ever wear a waistcoat every again, frankly! i'll make a decision depending on the weather as to what i wear. i think we'll all miss of the wa istcoats! tennis now, and the last grand slam of the year is heating up, in more ways than one. with players permitted to take a ten—minute break to help with the scorching conditions, andy murray was concerned his second—round opponent fernando verdasco had used the opportunity to speak with his coach before going on to win, something the spaniard denied. but the former world number one wasn't convinced, as ben croucher reports. it was the end of the us open road for andy murray. his match against
6:44 pm
fernando verdasco had everything we've come to expect from him. there was a backs against the wall feel as glasgow's forehand florist. there was a moment or two baffling brilliance from murray, king of chasing down the lost cause. there are excellent outbursts and playing to the crowd, but unlike the murray of old, no happy ending. verdasco prevailed in four sets in new york each wave. it was so hot, players we re each wave. it was so hot, players were allowed a ten minute break to cool off. what's not allowed is interaction with your coaches, which is where the match's biggest disagreements arose. is where the match's biggest disagreements aroselj is where the match's biggest disagreements arose. i went for a shower, he went for an ice bath, and when i came out, his coach and one of the spanish doubles players were chatting to him. uriah mccrone not allowed to speak to your coach, so i went and told the supervisors, what are you doing? —— you're not allowed
6:45 pm
to speak. you're alone to take place, i don't get it. ricardo pascoe said his coach, went the toilet and the other players just happen to be in the ice bath. andy murray ticks to instagram and initially friendly tone... suggesting he doesn't agree with badass government's account of events. asian be for the player competing against him —— it shouldn't be for the player competing against him to go and take this. i shouldn't be in that position in the middle of a match at a slam, trying to make sure they're doing theirjob. so what next for murray? fitness aside, he showed
6:46 pm
plenty against the spaniard to show his game is heading in the right direction. how long it takes to reach the end direction in the world's top ten remains to be seen. in the short time, murray has expressed a desire to return to glasgow for the davis cup tie against uzbekistan, saying he'd like to ta ke against uzbekistan, saying he'd like to take the chance to play one last time competitively in scotland. after that, hardcore theremins ahead of the most pivotal winter of his career as he aims to be fit for a 2019 schedule and that he has not reached the end of the road just yet. let's return to football now, and rangers were made to do it the hard way — surviving two red cards and a frantic second—half ufa onslaught to clinch a 1—1 draw and a place in the europa league group stage. celtic will be looking to join them with a win over suduva this evening, but they'll need to improve on their performance from the first leg, as chris mclaughlin reports. brendan rodgers was critical of his
6:47 pm
players following that h with suduva in lithuania last week. it's been a testing time for the former liverpool boss, he's denied a spat with the board here over transfer targets. celtic have missed out already on champions league qualifying, so he knows the importance of making it through to the rugby league group stages. it's a competition we can use our experience of over the last couple of years to do well in. i'm disappointed we went out of its last year, especially after playing so well at home. not so well away, but like i say, it provides an opportunity to play against good teams but also to show we are developing. rangers are ready through to tomorrow's draw, a 1—1 scoreline with urie in russia earlier was enough, 2—1 on aggregate
6:48 pm
by steven gerrard's side. they played a portion of that game with only nine men. burnley host 0lympiacos tonight, and richard is a turf moor. bali have it all to do tonight, 0lympiacos a club more used to the champions league than the europa league. they hold that 3—1 advantage from the first leg. but that goal burnley scored in athens could be crucial, they will believe they can get something here tonight. if the win 2—0 tonight, they will go through. they will be cheered on by a passionate support as ever at dartmoor, desperate for this european adventure to continue. this is burnley‘s first time in europe since the 1960s. having said that, it will be a juggling act for sean
6:49 pm
dyche in terms of selection. manchester united are the next visitors here in the premier league on sunday, so we probably will shake up on sunday, so we probably will shake up his pristine selection tonight. but he will be confident that whatever tea m but he will be confident that whatever team keep eggs were given everything and give him a chance of going through to the group stages of the europa league. scotland's women are looking to take fate into their own hands with victory in tonight's crucial world cup qualifier against switzerland. ideally, the scots need to win by two goals against the group leaders to move a step closer to reaching the women s world cup for the first time. alistair lament has more. scotla nd scotland know except that what they had to do tonight. it's strip for scenario, just not one that is necessarily simple to negotiate. switzerland have won all six of their qualifiers so far, including a deserved victory over scotland earlier in the campaign. but
6:50 pm
scotla nd earlier in the campaign. but scotland limited the damage at that stage to a one goal defeat, and that's where they have a chance of rolling the swiss at the top the group in tonight's match. rolling the swiss at the top the group in tonight's matchlj rolling the swiss at the top the group in tonight's match. i cannot predict what's going to happen sites, no—one can. but the preparations have been brilliant and we need to show that we're confident and capable of beating a team that is highly ranked. just one match remaining at a
