sport to the sport to gambling pressures and people associated with gambling, you wonder is that crash real, is that pit stop real, they will be serious integrity issues, but formula 1 has got to take this very seriously. great britain 5 most successful pa ralympic equestrian says the sport's athletes need help with horsepower. after a year away from major competition sir lee pearson is back in action today at the world equestrian games. and he says in orderfor gb to keep leading the pack? there needs to be more investment. here 5 our olymipc sport reporter david mcdaid. this is the godfather of parekh ina20 in a 20 year career lee pearson has w011 in a 20 year career lee pearson has won 11 paralympic gold medals, and at 44 he has no intention of giving up at 44 he has no intention of giving up the rains just yet. at 44 he has no intention of giving up the rainsjust yet. i always said i'd go on until i stopped loving doing what i do. as i get older they

may be few more days where the horses don't seem to be going as well, all the politics is a uni, or the lack of money is annoying me. pearson has been part of the british dominance of the sport since the 19905, dominance of the sport since the 1990s, but feels the current world question games show the gap is narrowing. it's evolving so quickly, the world equestrian games is going to be the closest as far as results it has ever been. we want to be as successful, we want the horsepower they've got, we want the riders, depth and knowledge that those riders have got. he believes more funding is needed to maintain gb‘s success. funding is needed to maintain gb‘s success. the money helps with athlete grounds, but not everything. to buy a top competition horse you are talking tens if not hundreds of thousands of pounds. that's out of the realms of many people, to just go out and buy the perfect horse. we

need to be staying at the top, winning gold medals, then somehow, we need to be able to support riders with that. he admits that's not an easy sell. when you say that people think you are complaining, it's not a complaint, it's a matter of fact, we are not swimmers, we don't need budgie smugglers, a towel and flip—flops, it's not the cheapest sport. swimming's loss has been questions's game. a massive match for england netball team tomorrow morning as they take on australia in the second match of the quad series. they secured their biggest ever win over new zealand in their opener but australia will provide an altogether different test for tracey neville's side. 0ur women's sports reporter is emily croydon, england stunned australia in the commonwealth final what chance that they can do it again? well, i think it's likely to be a

tight match. both sides put up really strong performances in the opening rounds, and both will be looking to lay down a marker ahead of the world cup in liverpool, which is less than 12 months away. tracey neville has made no secret of the fa ct neville has made no secret of the fact that winning that tournament is the ultimate goal. the roses are now number two the ultimate goal. the roses are now numbertwo in the ultimate goal. the roses are now number two in the world behind australia. many are suggesting they could be favourites for this one. despite those euphoric scenes at the commonwealth games, prior to that they haven't beaten australia since 2013. they also go in without their goal shooter who is injured. she is world —class, goal shooter who is injured. she is world—class, and that breaks up their first choice partnership. that's something australia will want to capitalise on and tracey neville knows that england must expect australia back to their best. anyone who has beaten the aussies,

they come back bigger and stronger. they have strategies that they want to come with, they are not the world numberone to come with, they are not the world number one for no reason. you know, they've got some of the best coaches in the world. i think it's always a battle, and now, with the way that netball is going, there is a 1% margin, and anything can be taken. so this quad series will take place in australia, the match is in newcastle. there is a lot more netball to be played between this and the world cup? there's lots going on over the next few months as preparations begin to ramp up. england will head to jamaica after the quads to take part in a home series against uganda. plenty of opportunity to stake their claim for a starting spot. they will be another addition at this quad series

next year and you would expect the tea m next year and you would expect the team will be fairly set in tracey neville's mind. for now her focus team will be fairly set in tracey neville's mind. for now herfocus is on continuing momentum and getting better of australia again. that will also likely lead to a quad series victory providing they can follow it up victory providing they can follow it up with a win over south africa. world cup tickets go on general sale tomorrow morning. so beating australia couldn't come at a better time for them. and before we leave you, i promised you the answer to our ‘what happened next teaser‘... this is a match between flamenco and vasco da gama in the brazilian top flight. vasco s bruno silva injured in a clash of heads, so the medial team are called on, in this case an ambulance drives onto the field and silva is stretchered into the back, but then the ambulance won't start and players on both sides had to help it on its way. bruno silva was released from

hospital after an overnight stay. perhaps it ran out of petrol! it is currently one nil to barcelona, and the spurs have had the better of inter—milan, but it's still goalless. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. goodbye throughout the evening. for now. we've got some very windy weather to come over the next 2a hours courtesy of storm alley. they will also be
