champions chelsea taking on manchester city. it's a first game this season so it is good to go. it is work time and it is exciting. also coming up on sports day will be london's southbank, the spiritual home of skateboarding. 0nly only one place to start. what a servant alistair cooke has been to english cricket. he walked out to a guard of honourfor us english cricket. he walked out to a guard of honour for us 161st and final test match and the former england captain who has over 12,000 test runs to his name was that are going out in style in the final match of the series against india.

0ur correspondent is live for us. it must‘ve been quite surreal, quite an emotional moment for alistair cooke today. it was. and a strange feel about the whole day in a way standing here 110w. whole day in a way standing here now. for about two thirds of the first day of this final test it was all about alistair cooke and then for the last couple of hours it was all about india. cook, for the last couple of hours it was allabout india. cook, i'm for the last couple of hours it was all about india. cook, i'm sure, would not have wanted to much fuss about this final day. we said earlier in the week that he was not going to cry when he walked out. in the end a think the guard of honour from all the indian players. it finished with a warm handshake. i think that was entirely appropriate and respectful and reflective of the status that alistair cooke has not just in this series but across world cricket. and then, well, we saw a classic alistair cooke innings. patient, methodical, only really chose to play the shots he wanted to play. for a while after lunch he was scoring almost doubled but he did get was 50. a great reaction around the ground, as you can imagine. that

feel fairy tale ending. it had been bitten in the stars asjoe root said yesterday. 100 for alistair cooke. it was on the cards but really seem that way. india bowled very well with no luck but then when cooke was on 71, the inside edge onto the stu m ps on 71, the inside edge onto the stumps there were huge groans. but that was cooke gone to 71. 0f course, you may get a second innings in this match because they're nothing changed. it was almost like he was the anchor and when he was gone england did not know what to do because the wickets camejoe root. he was dismissed lbw without scoring. anotherfailure he was dismissed lbw without scoring. another failure for the captain in this series. another also fell. so once again we had this familiar story, took made his highest score of the series but the english batsmen who were there to make the runs and set up the bat friendly just make the runs and set up the bat friendlyjust did not do theirjob.

0n friendlyjust did not do theirjob. on balance, cooks or india's day, do you think? i would say india. if you are fielding first in the past as india did and took seven wickets in the day with england stilljust below 200 and that is a good day for the bowling side. a lot of these issues include a bad the series are still there. we should say that there is painstaking batting with a great fortune but two, number three ride your luck. he made us the back of 50 before he went. we're resuming with butler trying to dig england out of the mess that they have got themselves in. in the context of the match india will feel that they have got rewarded eventually for the way they bowled once again entered a's play. thank you very much. credit to alistair cooke because he was younger 110w alistair cooke because he was younger now than he did in 2006 foot

at the benjamin button of test cricket. thank you. after a world cup campaigna cricket. thank you. after a world cup campaign a rash of which won the hearts of many england fans, gareth southgate's side kick of their uefa campaign against spain tonight. sports correspondent has been at the grove. good things come to an end and after a summer good things come to an end and after a summerto good things come to an end and after a summer to remember good things come to an end and after a summer to remember england are back to work tomorrow against spain at wembley in the all new nations league. this is uefa's brainchild. the bits to get rid of meaningless friendlies and it will not replace qualification for the euro altogether but it will give lower ranked side the sort of back door route to european qualification. now, england may have had a great world cup but for gareth southgate at least it is time to move on and look to the future. the summer was brilliant and it is great that we have got a full house. and it is great that everybody will feel the appreciation and that we can slip out in front of our fans

again. but for us now the summaries finished and it is about the next step and the next challenges and sport does not stand still for anybody. you've got to move forward, got to continually evolve, increase that competition. and i know the players have the same mentality. they are of an age where what is next is what is the most important thing. the captain will play in a specially commissioned pair of clinging boots tomorrow night. he will pick up his world cup golden boot award in front ofa world cup golden boot award in front of a packed sell—out wembley crowd. he says he has played down any comparison with the likes of ronaldo and messy. to finish top goal—scorer was something i was extremely proud of but i don't think i can be up there with them to yet. but that my aim is to improve and, yet, the summer was great but now it is on to more things aren't i'm going to do even

better. they are up to sixth in the world rankings. spain down to nine after their disappointing exit at the hands of russia on penalties. they have lost three stalwarts to retirement. and they are under new management but they will still provide a stern test for an england side looking to prove that the summer a mere flirtation and was the start of something big. the team who beat england in the world cup third—place play—off match face scotland in a friendly at hampden park tonight. chris mclaughlin is there for us alongside former scotland striker, kenny miller. the scotland fans beginning to make their way to the national stadium. this place has been in the news for other reasons for the past few weeks. more about that later. perhaps next week. tonight, the visit of belgium. alex mcleish‘s fifth consecutive friendly at that nations league match against albania

are all good footballers who want to be on the ball. they can handle the ball and definitely mcgregor and armstrong in particular will be able to get forward and support griffiths. thank you very much for now. liverpool's andy robinson leads scotland's the very first time this evening. use the new scotland captain. not perhaps too much expectation here this evening. there will be the open albania, calling on monday night. the new women's super league season kicks off tomorrow. new teams, new rules and new managers as well. manchester united's return to the senior women's game. plenty to look forward to in the 2018th senior women's game. plenty to look forward to in the 20 18th first 19 campaign. 0ur sports reporter joins me now. tell everyone about the new structure to the season. the new setup includes two leagues of 11 teams with the women's super league, the top flight now fully professional the first time. it is quite a transition from first back in 2011 which featured eight predominantly semiprofessional sites. many of the teams from last

season's top division remain including defending champions chelsea whilst west ham and bright and other new teams to be added. they are both led by experienced women's managers, too. west ham's manager twice won the wsl. and what about manchester united ? manager twice won the wsl. and what about manchester united? a lot of the focus in the off—season has been about them coming back, we should say. coming back to the women's game. it has been hugely controversial. the biggest clubs in the world, disbanded the senior women's side backin disbanded the senior women's side back in 2005 and only now do they return. they entered the new second tier, now named the women's championship. and it will be amongst the favourites as they have a very strong squad for this level including two england internationals and their coach is the former england captain. they will be well supported, too. 5000 fans turned up to watch their first home game in the league cup fortnight ago. lots

of other new names in this league, too. crystal palace, leicester, sheffield united also join along with lewis fc who claim to be the only club side in the world with equal pay for the men's and women's sides. chelsea taking on another big team ina team chelsea taking on another big team in a team they are hoping they can win the title in manchester city. it is quite a quirk of the fixtures computer thrown this one up straightaway. as you say, chelsea and manchester city, the two top teams for the last three seasons. chelsea just pipping man city to the title last time out. their manager emma hayes returns to lead the side after the birth of her son last summer. i was at the manchester city press c0 nfe re nce summer. i was at the manchester city press conference and they were actually saying that they did quite actually saying that they did quite a lot of pressure on themselves to return to winning silverware after a trophy this season last year. let's hear from trophy this season last year. let's hearfrom their trophy this season last year. let's hear from their manager now along the chelsea captain as they both look ahead to of the season on the opening weekend. we can look at it both ways. it is

difficult for us because it is our big to my first game and we're not a rhythm. we don't win we've got the whole of the season to get points back—up but it is as positive as it is negative. we have a good pre—season behind us and an opportunity on sunday to put three points on the board, so we will go to the game and try to win the game. the league is so competitive does not matter who you start with. it is always going to be difficult and especially when you are, you know, the champions. everyone wants to be gin adds anotherten the champions. everyone wants to be gin adds another ten or 15% wanting to beat you anyway. we had to play them at some point in us is the first game of the season, so, you know, it is good to go. his work time and it is exciting. you can follow this wsl season right across the bbc. indeed. you can follow the action right throughout the season starting this weekend on sunday for arsenal against liverpool. it is on the website and connected tv was the crucial match with talked about there between

through and even though djokovic seem through and even though djokovic seem to really struggled in these conditions he has only dropped to certainly very early stages. as for the first semifinal between rafael nadal and an opponent one question is how will they no doubt recover after playing for nearly five hours against his opponent in the previous round? against his opponent in the previous round ? the answer against his opponent in the previous round? the answer is probably very well. he beat over nearly five hours in the wimbledon quarterfinals in an astonishing match. his opponent had that clinton is i. isn't one of the best players all season. he has dropped only one set at the us open s0 dropped only one set at the us open so far. he is playing without pain he says now and feels that he can still play better. let's have a look at some of the other stories around today on sports day. tiger woods has looked down the leaderboard after the second round at the bmw championship in pennsylvania. yet lead overnight but three bogeys today saw him tied for

firstly, nice easy one for you. you've got to play them some time and there are no easy games in the com. wejust and there are no easy games in the com. we just want to get going. it has been a long pre—season. having played in that long season, had you bridge that gap? will talk about the fact that it is ring fenced for going into this second season you must have picked up a lot from its inaugural season? inevitably it was always going to be a learning curve for us every game that we played, we picked up something and we learned what went wrong, what did go so well. with any coach we were excited to get going with the season ahead. can the premier 15th letter from the wsl and the format of that? back in 2011 there were eight semipro teams. they are fully full—time and women's football. is that a model that a structure that they can stick to? inevitably, it would be great if it did go professional but obviously, needs to be sustainable and notjust go

professional and then fold. the ideal would obviously be that it can sustain the pace of it staying professional. and the fact that it is ring fenced, is that a good thing? worcester finished bottom of the ligand normally they would go down but it is to bring some stability, isn't it? to give them a chance to kick it off? it makes a big difference to how we approach your coaching and how we approach your coaching and how you work with team. ultimately allows us to really support the women's team and that we can help them develop players. there's a different kind of pressure. in terms of attendance is, a lot of people watching wonder what kind of crowd you get, what are we talking? obviously, it will depend on the games that we play. especially in the north, attendances are growing. down south is very popular so even just to publicise and grow the game in the north and get more people watching would be exciting. with that being on tv hopefullyjust that publicity will just get that being on tv hopefullyjust that publicity willjust get people coming down and watching games. ami coming down and watching games. am i right in thinking you're both part—time teachers as well?

full—time. give us inside but the range of careers in the sport? a number of teachers. a couple of vets. engineers. nurses. by women. everyone for all walks of life. you've got a lot covered, haven't you? 70 you've got a lot covered, haven't you ? 70 new you've got a lot covered, haven't you? 70 new faces you have added. that is a mistaken for a a team that has finished second bottom. it is the statement you will not be down there come the end of the season? that is the plan. 17 might sound like a big number but if you think that we run two teams at the weekend, we've got a development squad that is in place for us this year. it is still a physical game so you do need big squads. but most importantly shows that the coppers rowing in the women's rugby is growing in the north—west and i think that isjust growing in the north—west and i think that is just testament to how popular the sport is becoming. he mentioned the game at the

weekend, wasps as well at harlequins but there will be a few going for that top spot. tell us what the team alike? you lost to them last season which is no disgrace whatsoever given that everything that they've got and resources. inevitably it is due to focus on yourself as well put up a lot of the time we don't really lock into who is playing, what is playing, we need to and display what is in front of us. to and display what is in front of us. a lot of the teams, major changes within there. so it might be a fresh season. i think be a lot of teams competing this year. this is new in terms of the standard new bobbies become from the men's yourself. what have you seen? we do comparative wsl and that has evolved into a really interesting game to watch now, the women's football? i think you only have to look at how big the game grew last year with the competition and the number of people that were going to watch. 5000 people going to watch harlequins play richmond last season. it is a

massive competition. you go to events like the launch at twickenham and the press coverage is huge in the gamejust and the press coverage is huge in the game just because it is women playing instead of men, it is exciting. thank you so much for coming in. in two years' time skateboarding will make its debut at the olympics. and a venue known as the spiritual home of sport, the spot i should say. it is getting a £200,000 base left to help our skaters prepare. it will be expanded this year and the money from the london marathon charitable trust. you are dead to speak to some of the campaigners. there been fighting to keep the free venue going. it was never intentionally designed for skateboarding. it was designed in 1963 as pedestrian thoroughfare.

found by skateboarders who bound it perfect for skateboarding in the early 1970s and since then it has become pretty much the spiritual home of british skateboarding. i grew home of british skateboarding. igrew up home of british skateboarding. i grew up bit north of london so i started coming here when i could get the train when i was 14 or 15 so i can't have skated around and didn't do much but i slowly on coming back and i'm still here almost every day. if you're skating in london isjust one of the spots to meet everyone you know that you can come down here rent there will be lots of familiar faces down. i think this place is always going to bea i think this place is always going to be a big part of my life. wherever i'm skateboarding or not i'd really doesn't really special place. this is an area of london thatis place. this is an area of london that is so overdeveloped with, like, chain coffee shops and big business and here is one space we can come in just do whatever you want. five years ago there was a planning application put in to turn this place into copy shops and restaurants. and the whole community
