england are beaten in the quad series. and also coming up: homeruns in hull — is baseball making a comeback in east yorkshire? hello and welcome to sportsday. evening, the champions league continues tonight, it's the first round of matches in the group stage. we saw 16 teams last night, what a start for liverpool, and their injury time win against paris st—germain at anfield. it's a perfect season so far for last year's runners—up. there were also wins for barcelona, atletico madrid, borussia dortmund, but is this going to be the most open champions league in years.

what of manchester city's chances, the english champions romped to the premier league title last season but couldn't translate that onto the european stage. pep guardiola will be watching from the stands against lyon tonight, he was sent off in their quarterfinal defeet to liverpool last season, his assistant mikel arteta will be delivering the instructions from the dugout and he also stood in at the pre—match news conference. we have the best players in the world. i see them training every day, i see how they behave, how they react, their positives, the negatives and i know their weaknesses. they are absolutely fantastic, the groups of players we have. the hunger that is still in

this group. let's head live to the etihad stadium now and speak to our football reporter simon stone. they came unstuck last season for all their domestic dominance, manchester city, they came unstuck at the quarterfinal stage to liverpool. what do you think will be a minimum requirement from manchester city this season?” a minimum requirement from manchester city this season? i think manchester city this season? i think manchester city this season? i think manchester city would expect to get at least to that stage again. but if you look at the bookmakers' odds, they think manchester city will be going all the way because manchester city are the favourites for this competition. that may have something to do with a favourable group draw. but it also has to do with what mikel arteta was saying, about manchester city having a world—class squad, a world—class group of players and expectation is high around football but manchester city can finally punch their weight in the champions league. you mentioned

the champions league. you mentioned the favourable group draw, shaktar donetsk and hoffenheim, it was 1—1 in the early kick—off. so they shouldn't have much trouble getting out of the group? the only awkward thing is, if hoffenheim where to get an away win tonight it would put them ina an away win tonight it would put them in a good position so manchester city would have to go out and geta manchester city would have to go out and get a victory against lyon. i don't think against a team that is seventh in the french league, it would be too difficult, but you have to go out on the pitch and do it. i do expect manchester city will win and get through, but you still have to do it on the pitch. another goal has just to do it on the pitch. another goal hasjust gone in in to do it on the pitch. another goal has just gone in in the to do it on the pitch. another goal hasjust gone in in the group f match, hoffenheim now leading shaktar donetsk. no pep guardiola com he will in the stands. mikel arteta will be in the dugout. that shouldn't stop them scene of lyon

shouldn't stop them scene of lyon should it? it shouldn't have an effect? richard lewis, but pep guardiola will not just effect? richard lewis, but pep guardiola will notjust be sat in the stands, he can go in the dressing room before the game. he cannot go in at half—time crucially, and he cannot go in afterwards. it is down to mikel arteta. i was at his press conference yesterday, use a different guy, more laid—back and i don't think we will have all the touchline pointing pep guardiola comes outwith. but i do expect manchester city will still roll on because mikel arteta was a quality coach. he was linked with arsenal this summer and i don't think he will have a problem guiding manchester city through this game. it was refreshing to hear from manchester city through this game. it was refreshing to hearfrom him because he has a lot of thoughts about the game and he was backing those city players are some of the best in the world. unfortunately on a champions league nights, there will be thousands of empty seats, they just can't seem

will be thousands of empty seats, theyjust can't seem to... are they pricing it out of the market because they have an issue filling it on champions league nights? 36,000 we are expecting and this is a stadium that holds 56,000, so there will be a lot of empty seats. 0nly £30 for an adult ticket. i was talking to someone an adult ticket. i was talking to someone earlier who is coming to the game. it is weird, because there was an issue with manchester city fans and uefa, they didn't like the fact they feel as though their team is picked on in terms of financial fair play and the big bulbs at uefa don't wa nt play and the big bulbs at uefa don't want their new money, they want the old, established clubs. but that seems to have gone away and manchester city have been in this tournament for a number of years. it is an number of years, manchester city our favourite for the tournament. i don't understand why there is a lack of well for the 50,000 is for premier league games,

to come to the matches in europe. but it is going to be 20,000 empty seats, it is a strange situation. we will see what game they get, the 36,000 who did turn up. manchester united are away in switzerland playing young boys in bern. the other two teams in group h are valencia and juventus so the matches will get much harder although. they will have to adjust to an artificial surface tonight and jose mourinho has also defended his poor record in switzerland, but he thinks his team are in a good place at the moment. we have found a certain balance in the team. especially in the competitive attitude. we are creating lots of chances. we are changing our style of play and the way we attack opponents. and we also

find a way to protect ourselves in some specific, defensive situations. yes, i lost in switzerland, both matches. but i won the group both times. so if tomorrow i lose and i win the group, you should give me that, i will sign immediately. here are tonight's eight games. they're already under way in group e. benfica face bayern munich in that groups other game later. shakhtar donetsk and hoffenheim are the other teams in manchester city's group. real madrid against roma is probably the pick of tonight's game over in group g. ronaldo returns to spain with juventus to face valencia,

they are in manchester united's group. and you can follow the champions league this evening with five live final score on iplayer, the bbc sport app or by pressing your red button on your tv from 7pm. there are four matches in the women's super league this evening. very early stages of the season, just the second round. bristol city would go to the top of the table with a win against chelsea. they are at home at the stoke gifford stadium, kick off in the next 20 minutes, and ben croucher is there for us cannon chelsea do it on a cold, wet and windy night at the stoke gifford stadium? they are back at the scene where they won the wsl last season. this time around, they drew their opening game against manchester city. still looking for their first win against bristol city. joining me for the commentary is the former london bees and west ham midfielder,

samantha miller. what are you expecting? i am expecting chelsea to come out guns blazing, ruthless performance after a goalless draw against manchester city. they will wa nt to against manchester city. they will want to put away their chances and be clinical. bristol city, are we expecting them to really challenge them? they have said these are not them? they have said these are not the type of games they are looking to get points from. they are looking to get points from. they are looking to get points from. they are looking to get points from brighton, which they have done and they got three points against them and they will be looking to get points lower down the table. they know chelsea are looking to retain the title and it will be a tough game for them. it has been five years since bristol city last beat chelsea, which players should we be looking out for because chelsea have a star—studded line—up western mark emma hayes has stunned and in the transfer window because she knows they will be looking to perform in the champions league,

tracey neville wanted more from her roses side but it was australia who took a big lead into the last quarter. but this england team have a new belief and they came back with real energy. ultimately though australia reasserted their status as the best team in the world with ten months to go to the world cup. but england will know that despite missing key players they were not far short. emily croydon, bbc news. it's a sport watched by millions and will be included at the next olympic games. baseball is part of the fabric of america and has a long history in of all places — hull. at the game's peak more than 10,000 people watched a team from the city win the national title. however, it's popularity drifted and the sport went into obscurity. until now, asjohn pakey found out. america? no. it's hull. embracing a

sport, passing it on to a new generation. left-centre field. it is gone. baseball is big, more than 100 million people watched the world series last year. it is popular in japan, central america and cuba. this is nothing new in >> doug:, there was a time when thousands would turn out and teams play. this is a picture of 11,000 people watching the game in 1937. the popularity faded over the years. now kevin and other coaches have been dividing it by heading into schools. we have basically gone into local schools, targeted local schools in a mile of the field so kids can easily get here. we have delivered coaching sessions into the schools and delivered coaching sessions to the teachers and run

of reaching judo's pinnacle. their father dennis already had an olympic bronze and they wanted to follow in his footsteps. until two years ago, older brother elliott's life changed forever. at first, it was slight vision loss and i thought it was because i was getting a bit older. three months later, the amount of vision i lost was quite a lot and i lost myjob vision i lost was quite a lot and i lost my job because vision i lost was quite a lot and i lost myjob because i couldn't drive any more. i was teaching judo in schools but i can't do that any know because i can't get there. a tough period, tough time. judo gave him a purpose again. he qualified as a visually impaired coach and join the england setup. he joined visually impaired coach and join the england setup. hejoined his brother and father, the family who help pay for his crucial operation. as a family we dealt with it. it was bad
