someone else in there. what is the path to that? this prime minister has made history for all of the wrong reasons, but still there is a long queue of people who want to replace her, whether that is boris johnson, michael gove, orthe health secretary matt hancock, there are plenty of them there. they will spend the next few weeks trying to whittle themselves down to the two who will go out to tory members in the country, and there will be a period of several weeks eventually resulting in a winner. even once there is a victor in that particular race, you can change the bass but the dilemmas of what they have to deal with will not change. a divided parliament, a divided party and lots of contradictions in how to deal with brexit. the new leader will change the political chemistry, but that could still mean many explosions ahead. for all of us tonight new prime minister will mean

10:33 pm
but they're expecting him to be fit in time for england's first game of the tournament on thursday. joe wilson reports from the oval. it's never simple. friday at southampton became a scrutiny of eoin morgan's fingers. at this stage of the catching session he seemed ok but later the captain went to hospitalfor an x—ray. he's the embodiment of the new england. liam dawson, elsewhere in practise was exercising his spinning fingers, a late addition to the world cup squad. does he feel the culture that morgan has shaped? when i've been around before it has been relaxed and good fun and most of the lads have grown up with each other as well over the years. a very relaxed dressing room, everyone enjoys each other‘s success and pharmacies have shown that. and performances have shown that. hopefully we can continue over the next six weeks. meanwhile there is a team that have dominated the last 20 years of the world cup, which is winning again, and is finished with soul—searching. yes, here tomorrow,
10:34 pm
england will play australia in a friendly match. there's no better way to get the competitive edge than a practise game against england. i think we can talk about it being a practise game, getting some miles in your legs, but when you get over the line, pride takes over and you want to do well. competitive but respectful come australia have been trying to prove that the balance is possible, which brings us to david warner. he's about to his traditional position, and the centre of attention. celtic have the chance to pull—off an unprecedented domestic treble treble at the scottish cup final this weekend. but in their way stand hearts — and while they haven't beaten celtic yet this season — don't write them off. their manager, craig levin says they're going for the single single. kheredine idessan reports from hampden.
10:35 pm
walking out with the scottish cup at hampden, but only one of them gets to hold it on saturday. neil lennon is used to lifting silverware. this cup was his first trophy as a manager. fast forward eight years and he's just delivered celtic‘s eight consecutive league title following brendan rodgers's surprise departure. his position beyond the weekend remains unclear. it's not about me. it's about the players are on the cusp of something special however we have to play the game, we have to play a very motivated team. some of their players in their first cup final. they may not get the opportunity again. they will be hungry for this. we have to play the game and not the occasion. i am wary of everyone talking about bus parades and all that. what celtic seeks is an unprecedented treble treble, a clean sweep of all three domestic

prices for the third year in a row. prizes for the third year in a row. this man has other ideas. we are going for the single single! just as important to us. we've got recent history of beating celtic. we have the big occasion in us, i'm certain of that. i'm thinking about us, our players becoming heroes, legends, whatever term you like to use. when these teams reassemble at hampden at the weekend celtic will be looking to extend an unprecedented stranglehold on scottish domestic football. no other team has won any domestic honours since may 2016. hearts looking to end that here on saturday. it's the championship play—off final on monday but derby's manager frank lampard has been busy fielding questions about speculation he'll replace maurizio sarri as chelsea boss.
10:37 pm
the former chelsea and england midfielder who's guided derby to within a game of premiership promotion in his first season, says he'll only discuss his future after monday's game against aston villa at wembley. it has been a bit of an obvious season, maybe because where we are at in the final and we are being talked about and we have had a good year and then i get links because of my 13 years of the top, understand the link but in terms of how i'm seeing it, i do not want to think about it, i do not want to talk about it, i do not want to talk about it, i want to talk about monday and work with the team, i wa nt to monday and work with the team, i want to get this over the line for us. the former arsenal manager arsene wenger has told the bbc he's not sure if he'll ever return to football management. he left the club a year ago and recently has been involved in developing a player—tracking system. i thought as well i will come back in to manage very quickly but i enjoyed quite to take a little distance and to maybe analyse
10:38 pm
well what i want to do, where i can be useful in our society. now i am at a crossroads and i will come back soon now in football. i cannot tell you exact in what capacity. i want to share in the little knowledge i have. let's take a look at some of the other sports stories around today. and not many have crossed this divide but england defender abbie mcmanus has left manchester city to join newly promoted manchester united in the wsl. she spent 12 years at city and was the club's longest—serving player. she says she's always been a united fan and that playing for them is a childhood dream. british number three katie boulter travelled to paris this morning to withdraw from the french open. she said she'd still hoped to play despite a back injury, but her medical team advised against it. she's entitled to just over 20—thousand pounds, which is half the first—round prize money. australian nick kyrgios has also
10:39 pm
withdrawn, saying he's been "wiped out" after picking up a bug earlier in the week. he was due to play britain's cameron norrie, who'll now take on a french qualifier. and britain's simon yates, here in black and yellow, has slipped to 12th in the overall standings after stage 13 of the giro d'italia. he finished five minutes behind stage winner illnur za karin of russia. slovenia's jan polanc retains the overall lead. she won olympic gold in rio, but a freak accident has left gb hockey star alex danson with a brain injury and wondering whether she'll ever play the game she loves again. as part of the bbc‘s ‘change the game' season, sally nugent caught—up with her for an exclusive chat. ten, 11 months ago, the world cup. all of the team took breaks and we went to kenya, we had dinner, we were waiting to go home and alex told a joke,
10:40 pm
he's really not that funny but he told a joke and i kind of hit him and iflung my head back and i hit the back of my head on a concrete wall. it was hard, but equally, it wasn't a car crash. i didn't fall from a great height, there was no seemingly huge trauma at the time but i knew something wasn't right. when i came back from kenya, i was in bed for a month. literally in a dark room, couldn't tolerate anything. i wanted to rejoin the team and the team had an away day. all i remember really was talking to my team—mate next to me and i lost the ability to speak, i couldn't say any words. i don't remember much. i went to hospital, i was very unwell. nine months on, i've had a mild traumatic rain injury that i'm nine months on, i've had a mild traumatic brain injury that i'm still not fully recovered from. when you have a head injury, you're perhaps not making the best decisions anyway. you don't know that at the time. as a competitor, i am...it‘s not in my dna to tell you i'm not ok.
