surroundings of all the challenges to come against new zealand at twickenham, of all the uncertainties, at least there is one thing they can rely on, their warrior goal kicker owen farrell, he is not suspended. he is not injured. he is ready. do you think playing new zealand at rugby union is perhaps biggest test anywhere in sport? i've never really thought about it like that, maybe. you know, the, certainly a brilliant team, you know to be at the top for that long and have the win percentage they have is pretty remarkable, really, but we are looking forward to playing them. in terms of you throwing yourself into it, are there times when you think maybe i need to hold back, maybe i need to protect myself because i immediate to make the kick, can you adapt your style of play at all in that way? can you hold yourself back? i don't know many players that would want to hold themselves back. what we are trying to do is win test matches, you know, and to do that,

it is a pretty physical game at times, and you know, it a decision there and then, so, every situation is different. there were three matches in the premiership rugby cup this evening, with gloucester gaining a narrow 14—12 win over northampton saints at kingsholm. saints won't be happy after gifting matt banahan an intercept try. elsewhere, sale edged leicester by the same margin, while newcastle beat bath 22—7. nine defeats and three draws later, the wait is over for england's cricketers, with their first away victory since october of 2016. it came thanks to a massive 2ii—run win over sri lanka in galle. it means england take a 1—0 lead in the three—match series, as our correspondent andy swiss reports. a lap of honour and who can blame them? for england and theirfans,

away wins are a rarity so a first for two years was a day to applaud. it began with sri lanka hoping for the unlikeliest of come backs but they were soon sent spinning. jack leach with the early breakthrough as he and moeen ali combined to devastating effect. moeen snapping the first of his four wickets. this was a bad idea. there was no escaping them. before leach in his second test delivered the defining moment. that is about as good as spin bowling gets. bamboozled, unplayable. unforgettable. it wasn't all seamless for england. a moment of comedy courtesy of adil rashid, but it was about his team's only slip—up as sri lanka quickly capitulated when herath

in his final match was run out. it was all over — an ultimately emphatic victory for england and after 13 away tests without a win, their travelling troubles have finally finished. it is not just it is notjust us, it is not like we're the only side that struggles away from home. it is very difficult to win test matches abroad now. i think that makes it even sweeter when you do come to a very difficult than you like here and managed to win games. so hopefully we can build on this and that it is notjust a one—off for us, we can go with a huge amount to confidence forward and look to still improve and get better. the women's world twenty20 has got under way today. england have suffered a blow with the news that all—rounder katherine brunt has been ruled out of the tournament with a back injury.

it's a recurring problem that flared up again during a warm—up game on wednesday. she'll be replaced by fran wilson, who was in last year's world cup—winning squad. england's first match against sri lanka starts tomorrow in st lucia. ok, let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news this friday evening. renault‘s nico hulkenberg had a heavy crash in second practise for the brazilian grand prix. the german was fortunately unhurt. mercedes dominated with valtteri bottas and lewis hamilton first and second—fastest at interlagos. bottas was just three—thousandsth of a second quicker than newly crowned world champion hamilton, with ferrari's sebastian vettel not far behind in third. arsenal have said that danny welbeck has suffered a significant injury to his right ankle. the club say he remains in hospital and will continue to be assessed and that a further update will be issued over the next few days. chelsea women have been drawn against paris saint—germain in the quarterfinals of the champions league.

they're looking to reach the semis for the second year in a row. the first legs are on the 20th or 21st of march, with the return games a week later. tony bellew takes on oleksandr usyk at the manchester arena tomorrow night. the unbeaten ukranian holds all four world title belts at cruiserweight. it's only the sixth time in men's boxing history that so much has been on the line. bellew says that everything that's gone before has prepared him for this battle. he's been speaking to richard askam. i have had to get through injury, i have had so much jammed in, i've fought for world titles, i have been away and fought at home, all these different things i have experienced. i will take him to a dark place. how much do you want it? if he wants it as much as me, you are in for one of the best fights you have seen.

it's one of the things that drives you, your family, your father tony, who you have spoke about how much you want to do it for him, to prove to him what a great fighter you are. my dad thinks i'm a hero now. he thought i was by what i done in the amateur game. my dad thought i was great and my mother does, too. she is very proud of me. winning on saturday, being able to give me dad a world title belt for him to keep would be lovely. it would be really nice, but i am 36 on november 30th, i can't believe i havejust said that, but i am. i have more grey hairs than i would wish for. you are a young man. i'm older, i look all my 36 years, so, you know, i was always someone not going to outstay my welcome in this amazing sport. i will retire from boxing one day, boxing will not retire me. saturday night, i retire from this amazing game, this amazing business i have been part of.

i am honoured that so many people round the world are supporting me, so many people in the country, the city, i didn't believe it. thank you. saturday night, i will give me soul in that ring. should be fantastic. you can hear it from a 10:30pm on bbc radio and the five alive at the website. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more sport throughout the weekend. take care. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

with me are jason beattie, who's head of politics at the daily mirror, and the economics correspondent for the daily telegraph, anna isaac. thank you very much. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. brothers united in dismay is the telegraph's headline — as jo johnson joins his brother boris in quitting the government over frustration with theresa may's brexit plan. jo johnson's resignation also features on the front page of the times. it says the former transport minister compared brexit negotiations to the suez canal crisis. the express claims more ministers could follow mrjohnson‘s out of the government as brexit talks go down to the wire. jo johnson's resignation is on the front page of the guardian. it also features an interview with former first lady michele obama, who has spoken out about having ivf treatment after suffering a miscarriage. pictures of poppies grace the front page of the i as commemorations are held this weekend to mark 100

years since the end of the first world war. and the sun has an interview with 43—year—old sue radford after she gave birth to her 21st child. sue welcomed bonnie raye into her family after just a 12—minute labour. so jo johnson's resignation dominating the front pages, and that's where we're start. this strong language that he used about why he is leaving and why he is unhappy. a critique of the theresa may's steak repartee is lacking. yes, and what makes his resignation letter so powerful, so stinging and so incendiary is it is so stinging and so incendiary is it is so honest. it is almost like an

emperor's new close moment. somebody has dared for the truth about the situation we are in and lays out the arguments in such a strong way. he eviscerates the whole case made by theresa may for her brexit plan. and thatis theresa may for her brexit plan. and that is why it is covered through. he is the younger, the quieter, i do not want to get too much into the johnson psychodrama because they are like the cardassians of westminster. but it is almost like a distraction from a very important point he has made. the service on offer is no choice. it is either a disaster is no deal or becoming subservient to brussels, locked in some sort of purgatory with no say over the reals. that is being pretty clear but nobody spells out quite so well. and we have some serious ramifications from this. the first is well other ministers and now examine their conscience and savejo

johnson is right this is not going to work, not in the country possibly interest. how can i say in government and support this? the second one is much bigger, if theresa may does get a different brussels and i think she will actually, but it is still a big if. she then has to get it through parliament and the math just isn't there. she has lost one more. and that question is really so pertinent. our more people going to jump pertinent. our more people going to jump and be emboldened by this? we see in the article they are going through some of the potential suspects who they think might follow suit. we have a problem with a prime minister who cover masses and no one likes. we have a move from jo johnson it which is really giving people who have been told or presented an alternative to the checkers planned to say they are going to go for alternative and that we are going to start looking at a second referendum and you have the hottie alexanders of the world and the nikkei morgans of this world and

the nikkei morgans of this world and the dup following say with jo johnson, not obviously in government but they are forming part of the important block of votes. but you have the dup incredibly unhappy about what they perceived to be the cover my eyes on the irish border which is presenting this potential for a border down the irish sea. so she is sailing into a storm. as she needs good weather. staying with this, a cross to the guardian as a blow for may as an johnson this, a cross to the guardian as a blow for may as anjohnson quiz of her brexit. let's of the dynamics of thejohnson her brexit. let's of the dynamics of the johnson family in her brexit. let's of the dynamics of thejohnson family in the fact that for theresa may, she is now looking ata for theresa may, she is now looking at a sort of 3—pronged attack. remain who are not happy, leave and we re remain who are not happy, leave and were not happy and the dup is not happy. yes, and first of all, politics is to be able to count. now she is going to be doing a lot of math over the weekend because the advocates working overtime and will based mini off because she has this problem of you have this die—hard

court of european group of the brexiteers and we haven't some of them saying i would not back it. they could be between 20 and 50 have the dup in play and analogue dow after the last couple of days and then this growing group ofjo johnsonjojohnson then this growing group ofjo johnson jo johnson prorate remainders. she was hoping that some labour mps would come to her rescue. whether factors with that intervention is a look at bagot why doi intervention is a look at bagot why do i want to support a government or come to the rescue if they cannot decide amongst themselves and they had delivered as a bad brexit plan? it makes it easier for them to now say this is not in the national interest. 0ne say this is not in the national interest. one of the reasons they might be persuaded about brexit. if you labour mps are now much more in doubt and that is why she should be having a cold sweat. we hear a pretty grim weekend in store for her

although as a book about later, she is in paris at the moment. the thought that the clock is ticking in the pressure must be mouthing in extraordinary fashion. the clock is ticking. the word was she would have some sort of a deal by tuesday and go off to brussels and look at a time of getting something agreed potentially by the end of next week. get that through parliament. and the whole process of doing that was to not have a third option. you had no deal, which was unbearable, and you had her plan which was a viable compromised and now you will you haveis compromised and now you will you have is the emergence of this have you got the numbers for a third option for a people's vote? that is a real change and arrow change for the whole dynamic and what it will be in parliament because they were together for catfish of economic impact of the diop and the two forecasts are going to show two things, no deal, a catastrophe economically or they're going to

show a better option which was her option. now there will have to be a third option of what if we do not not do this at all. the daily mail with a similar line as crisis for prime minister abe boris brother walks out. to pick up with you, the people's the pointjo johnson walks out. to pick up with you, the people's the pointjojohnson makes in his letter that it should go back to the country but we have already in minutes seen the rebuttal from a downing street if there isn't going to be no second vote on this. and that they have to say this but they are curious because they say undemocratic but i have got my head around that yet. they do not want this say about because it is a conservative party. that simple. there are dangers, is not guaranteed that remain back would win it. i would caution that.
