they go into the tournament as favourites on home soil, which captain eoin morgan says he's happy about. the south africans have been dealt a hefty blow, though, as andy swiss reports. welcome to the oval, where the waiting is very nearly over, because tomorrow morning, 25,000 fans will be packed into those stands behind me as england get their world cup under way against south africa. it's fair to see england do not have a great record in recent world cups. the last tournament, four years ago, they were knocked out at the opening stage. but there is a real confidence around the team. they are the favourite with the bookmakers. their batting is particularly impressive. lots of hefty hitters, the likes ofjos buttler, jonny bairstow, and of course the captain eoin morgan. the level of expectation is there for a reason.
10:37 pm
for the last few years, ourform at home in particular has been outstanding. that is the reason it is there. world cups i have played in and people in the changing have played in, we've gone in with very little expectation. and we have not done that well. i would pick this position over any other. one of england's opponents tomorrow, south africa have never won the world cup, they have suffered an injury blow on the eve of the tournament. they will be missing their most experienced fast bowler. he is a big loss to our team. we did not expect that when we picked the squad. he was probably about 60% when the squad was picked. we anticipated for this to happen. but our attack is a strong one. tomorrow, there will be chopping and changing to make sure we can take on england. the absence of that player a real blow to south africa. as for the format of the tournament,
10:38 pm

what a story it has been for him. if you think, 28, 29 years in management, had not won a major trophy until tonight and despite the roller coaster season that he has endured sincejoining roller coaster season that he has endured since joining from napa roller coaster season that he has endured sincejoining from napa late last summer, he has not finished third in the premier league, runner—up in the league cup and got his hands on a piece of silverware in the olympic stadium behind me. what we do not know is whether it will keep him in position because many of the chelsea fans do not seem to find him there cup of tea. they have chanted and heckled against him over the course of the season and not entirely sold on his style of play and there have been reports in recent days thatjuventus are lining up recent days thatjuventus are lining upfor him recent days thatjuventus are lining up for him to be manager to replace maximally auto allegro. now sarri, we are told is heavily admired by juventus but we are to find out in

the coming days and weeks if that will happen. but he has a strong case now of staying in charge at chelsea. chelsea has a habit of hiring and firing managers but still having success. but what a story would be if sarri comes back from the debts of what we saw earlier in the debts of what we saw earlier in the season. think back to the league cup final when he stormed down the tunnel ina cup final when he stormed down the tunnel in a rage and had a plan refuse to come off as is altitude. came to this final and entering session style hamster off again to my throwing his cap to the floor, kicking it around. he clearly was not happy about something that perhaps that was motivation because he leaves the trophy and chelsea makes a long journey back home in high spirits. david is joining us from azerbaijan. all the reaction to the football tonight on the bbc website and app. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers.
