6:33 pm
let's start with liverpool, as their winning start to the premier league season continued today. jurgen klopp‘s side secured a 2—1 victory away at leicester in the early game. but there was a nervy finish though, after their brazilian goalkeeper alisson, signed for a record fee, gifted the home side a lifeline. as alex gulragani reports. right now, juergen klopp has every reason to be smiling. a perfect start for liverpool already into their flow. against leicester, start for liverpool already into theirflow. against leicester, that running would continue, even with cell are off target. he is part of the famous front three and read. when one is not firing, the others pick up the reins. 1—0. the final
6:34 pm
pa rt pick up the reins. 1—0. the final part of that trio wanted in on the act to, he doubles liverpool's lead as the grin onjuergen klopp‘s face grew larger and larger. but they did not make life easy for themselves, leicester grew in confidence with every opening every chance. much has been made of liverpool's go kick —— goalkeeping woes in recent years, and alisson, one of the world's most expensive, showed that he too can have his moments. they made sure that leicester took their advantage, juergen klopp making his feelings known. but liverpool held on, another win, the smile still there, just. bbc news. we need to get used to it more. don't play the goalkeeper constantly for no ideas. think of solutions. i thinkjoe could've shot the ball all the way, i'm not for sure.
6:35 pm
thinkjoe could've shot the ball all the way, i'm not forsure. but thinkjoe could've shot the ball all the way, i'm not for sure. but he didn't, and alisson could've done as well. but that is how it is, we are fine with that. we know he is a fantastic goalkeeper who will make fantastic goalkeeper who will make fa ntastic saves fantastic goalkeeper who will make fantastic saves again. he did not do what he should've done, but it's all good. so liverpool top of the table, one of two teams this evening still with their 100% start to the season. john, you've got the details of the other team for us. chelsea's perfect start continues with four wins in four matches. here is -- his with four wins in four matches. here is —— his third of the season, and even as art sealed it five minutes before full—time. worringly he still thinks they can better. we are doing very well. but i think we can improve. for example, the
6:36 pm
first half, we needed to move the ball at another speed. so i think that we can improve. couldn't be more different for west ham with four defeats in four, they're rooted to the bottom of the table, manuel pellegrini under pressure after adama traore scored the only goal as they lost to wolves i—o. remember, west ham spent around £100 million on new players over the summer. their next matches, everton, chelsea and manchester united. —— their next three matches. it's a very bad start, you cannot lose points here, especially the six points that we lost out home. playing away against arsenal are liverpool... but a few don't play well, you will have results. but to lose the six points here at home, we must be very worried. evenif
6:37 pm
even if we did not win, i be happy because the worked really hard. i think we were more in control, especially in the first half. but happy, it feels good. no wonder he is smiling. southampton won their first league match of the season, beating crystal palace 2—0, the latter without star man wilfried zaha through injury 2—0 danny ings and that man pierre—emile hojberg with the goals. much needed improvment for a team that avoided relegation last season. great performance, we've had —— we had to withstand a bit of pressure. we had to defend them, and that's what we did. i think the last two weeks, in fairness, since the everton defeat, i have seen a real purpose to everything that we have done, in terms of application and
6:38 pm
desire to get points. i have been pleased with the reaction of the players. the players don't seem to be quite as alert or quick with the ball, quite as determined and their attack. it's not been as crisp and good as it has been on occasion. when that happens, you're left scratching your heads sometimes, because we didn't play well in that period of time. manchester city in the late kick off, opened through raheem streling against newcastle before deandre yeddlin equalised. manchester city dominating possession, but newcastle united scoring with their one and only effort on target. manchester city drew their last league game, so they don't have that 100% record any more. brighton came from 2—0 down against fulham.
6:39 pm
everton and huddersfield finished i—i. that's the pl, sarah has the rest of the football. in the scottish premiership, hearts, without manager craig levein who continues his recovery after being taken to hospital this week, beat st mirren to make it four wins from four. steven naismith scored a hat trick in a 4—1 win. stjohnstone beat hamilton 2—1. ten—man abderdeen lost to kilmarnock and hibs lost 2—1 to livingstone. celtic and rangers meet in the old firm derby tomorrow. in the championship there was a fourth win on the bounce for sheffield united as they produced a stunning performance to inflict a first championship defeat of the season on aston villa. 4—1 the score at bramhall lane. it means united sit third in the table while villa drop to 11th. elsewhere frank lampard's derby go fourth with their win at hull. dwight gayle scored twice in west brom's victory against stoke.
6:40 pm
wins too for brentford, sheffield wednesday & wigan. in the late game it's goalless between milwall and swansea. the visitors down to ten, as courtney ba ker—richardson has been sent off. england have plenty to do if they're to seal a win in southampton and with it take the series against india, as more wickets fell cheaply on day three of the fourth test. the hosts have a lead of 233, and remain in contention thanks largely to jos butler who top scored with 69. adam wild reports. for some, the start of september marks the end of summer. in southampton, it may not have felt like it. but for this england side, this season could be about. alastair cook's batting ran like clockwork. but as lovely, it appears in glimpses. if you aren't paying attention, you may just glimpses. if you aren't paying
6:41 pm
attention, you mayjust miss it. his early dismissals now becoming all too regular. here he was the first too regular. here he was the first to fall. a change in approach, moeen ali promoted up the order with a surprise performance, just a cameo. 0thers faring better, jennings has often been... concentration wavered as lunch loomed. jennings out with a last ball before the break. if that promised time to regroup, england we re promised time to regroup, england were immediately forced a rethink. this was the first ball of the afternoon. johnny bairstow spectacularly dismissed. the last thing england could afford was another collapse, ben stokes survived this one, but onlyjust. what they needed was disciplined, and when it mattered most, that deserted them. a moment's hesitation, a moment's panic, joe root runout. the match nasa carefully balanced, it was not a time to let things slip. but today
6:42 pm
there was a butler to clean it up. this tookjos buttler passed his half—century, and innings that may prove crucial. adam wilde, bbc news. so england have a lead of 233 with two wickets remaining at close of play on day three. adil rashid falling at the last ball of the day. sam curran and stuart broad will resume in the morning with england 260—8. well, there was quite a performance in monza today, as kimi raikokonnen produced the fastest ever formula one lap to put his ferrari on pole for their home italian grand prix tomorrow. his team mate sebastien vettel was second fastest, as they locked out the front row with championship leader lewis hamilton starting from third. jennie gow is in monza for us. italy the heartland of ferrari, to see their pants —— fans poured to the track in the morning. were they
6:43 pm
disappointed? not at all. a ferrari front row lock—out, and in some style, and the parent reports. some might struggle to remember ferrari claiming polls in their home race. fresh from winning and elgin last weekend, sebastian vettel looks confident and ending it. most were expecting huge —— lewis hamilton to provide the main challenge to stopping him. but it took to britain until the final session of qualifying get out outpaced battle. mercedes tried to contain their incitement. but it was one more want to go, drivers can go a little bit quicker by slipstreaming the car in front. hamilton following his team—mates, but surprisingly, sebastian vettel going out ahead of frightening. that's right in. his ferrari team—mates beating them all with the fastest lap in the history of formula i, granting plenty of cheers, and even a few tears. it did not go well with sebastian vettel.
6:44 pm
but for ferrari and their fans, they don't mind. in front of all the. .. hopefully tomorrow, everything goes smoothly, and we are in the same positions. not entirely happy with my last run, but i think timmy was just a bit too fast stock everyone in the team is working as ha rd everyone in the team is working as hard as they can to make a difference. as you can see, it is great for the sport and to see so many fans here. ferrari locking out the front row, a good performance from lewis hamilton. it will be fascinating to see what the likes of they can do, because they will have to start at the back. at around this
6:45 pm
segment, you cannot overtake, it will be a fast race no matter happens, very exciting. diversity will be chairing on their men. will it be sebastian vettel or hamilton, oi’ it be sebastian vettel or hamilton, or someone else? the drama this season has not stopped, and he continues with the race. let's head to new york now, as five time us open champion, roger federer will be in third round action shortly. he'll face australian nick kyrgios, who was in the headlines this week, after an umpire offered him some advice during his last match. never seen that before. i think he has learned his lesson. kyrgios beat federer when they first met in 2015 and says he would rather be the underdog than have all the pressure. 0ur tennis correspondent russell fuller is at flushing meadows. as you can imagine, there's a huge amount of excitement here at flushing meadows about the prospect
6:46 pm
of roger federer against nick kyrgios. fedor needs no introduction, but he feels fit and confident this year. his back call him -- confident this year. his back call him —— causing problems back in 2017, and he is trying to win a sixth title ten years after his most recent triumph in york. nick kyrgios is always making headlines, occasionally for his tennis. at times he can be almost unplayable. these two have had very close meetings in the past, playing 9 cents, eight have been tie—breaks, three of them matches, which have been won by fedor or have been decided in a final tie—break. kyrgios was in a very playful mood after his recent victory, the controversial one where he was seemingly given a pep talk mid—match by the umpire. quiz about that, and also that his strengths afterwards, he said they are, my return, chuck —— tongue firmly in cheek, my mental strength and unbelievable movement. let's move away from new york. england fly—half danny cipriani starred on the opening saturday
6:47 pm
of the premiership season, as gloucester beat northampton 27—16 at kingsholm. it was cipriani's first appearance since he was fined for an incident outside a jersey nightclub. elsewhere there was an emphatic bonus point win for exeter, the chiefs hammered leicester 40—6. james burford has the details of both games. the first saturday of the season, and a gloucester debut for danny cipriani. familiar faces, friends and foes, all out on show. billy 12 trees kicks 12 points at kings own. in the end, his contributions proved to make a difference. but gloucester hope they have the brightest light, a stunning pass to the being... already stacking his control of proceedings. fraser, last year's being finalists, it is all about going one better this season. and today, they were edged over the line
6:48 pm
in the better —— very literal sense. eventually the pressure told, and lester's defence cracked, lex hiring, chances taken. exeterwill ta ke ple nty hiring, chances taken. exeterwill take plenty of positive steps from today's performance, a bonus point chief among them. james burford, bbc news. elsewhere, harlequins, under new head of rugby paul gustard, have got their season off to a bang with a bonus point vicitory over sale. —— victory over sale. it ended 51—23 at the stoop. wasps came from behind to beat worcester by a point at sixways. 21—20 at full time. it's also the first weekend of the pro 1a, as glasgow warriors came from behind to beat connacht, 27—26 in the tightest of games. this try from connacht‘s finlay bealham helped the homeside to a 23—17 half—time lead. glasgow fought back in the second half as they looked to get their season off to a winning start and a drop goalfrom stuart hogg flew through the posts to give
6:49 pm
the warriors a one point lead. with the clock on red, connacht had a chance to snatch victory, but craig ronaldson smacked the outside of the post as glasgow ran out 27—26 winners. two other games under way, last year's runners up scarlets are away at ulster, leading 12-13. munster are leading 17—nil against the cheetahs. both games into the second half. there was a thrilling match in superleague's qualifiers at headingley as hull kr beat leeds 38—36. the lead changed hands no fewer than five times, both teams trailed by ten at one stage. craig hall scored three tries and kicked five goals and hull kr came from behind in the second half. it ends leeds unbeaten record in the qualifiers. elsewhere toulouse lead widnes 36—16.
6:50 pm
toronto wolfpack lead london broncos 26—0. and castleford tigers get under way against challenge cup winners, catalans dragons at 7:30pm in the super league super 8s. we will see how they go after that great win last weekend. in korea this weekend, the world shooting championships get under way with british medal prospects led by aaron heading. he's world number one in the men's trap. when he's not shooting though, he's saving lives as part of the coastguard. ben croucher has been to meet him. this is erin heading in his natural habitat. but when he's not busy winning commonwealth medals... representing england, erin heading! wernicke can be found here. around the waterways of south lincolnshire. not the obvious way to prepare for world championship, but it all started four years ago when his
6:51 pm
shooting started to suffer. started four years ago when his shooting started to sufferlj started four years ago when his shooting started to suffer. i had a terrible motorbike accident. it wasn't until my now wife and mother and father said that i was not a good way and i might lose my leg... it brought things home to me. said he needed a distraction. and when a position of coast guard came up, he grabbed it. it has relaxed me. it has helped my shooting massively. the majority of my training is done on my own, so being involved with such a big team that we have here is fantastic. he's a great swimmer. he has youth on his side, as well. and his many successes in shooting, the highs of competition can be very much balanced out by his life as a coast guard, as he found out earlier this year. coming back from australia, i literally got home, and with a couple of hours, got called
6:52 pm
out to a body that had washed up on the marsh. and it brings everything back into perspective, being called back into perspective, being called back to a job like that. backgrounding seem back to a job like that. backg rounding seem to back to a job like that. backgrounding seem to have worked. a world cup win this year means you'll spare the british team... is one of the favourites for gold, his men's track competition begins tomorrow with the final on monday. ben croucher, bbc news, sutton bridge. now stand up paddle boarding has been one of the biggest growing sports in the uk over the last decade, but what do you do if you can t get out to water, or when it s too dark or stormy during the winter? well, you could look into the new sport that s now taking off, landpaddling. our very own mike bushell has been to southport to try a club session. it's the sport that enables us to gracefully walk on water. now asked
