7:33 pm
we are from india, only to watch the match. only to win the match! its more than a cricket match, this is war! no, it's the biggest match in the world. can't beat it. the best part of a million people had applied for tickets, with an estimated billion watching on tv. talk about pressure. but india's batsmen didn't seem to be feeling it, the favourites off to a flyer. a brilliant century from rohit sharma, before virat kohli showed why he is officially the world's best. india were heading for a mammoth total, but they were slightly stalled by a rain delay, and then kohli's bizarre dismissal. he thought he nicked it... he has declared himself out. ..when replays later showed he hadn't. frustrated? just a little. pakistan still needed a hefty 337. briefly it seemed they mightjust do it, as fakhar zaman blazed his way to a half—century. but after he fell, the rest tumbled around him. a clatter of wickets and india were in sight of what would be

the usa can join sweden in the last 16 with a win against chile, they kicked off at five in paris and they are 3—nil up. carli lloyd with the first. she has become the first person to score in 6 world cup matches in a row. in the last couple of minutes julie ertz has made it 2 . the usa making seven changes to the team that thumped thailand what do you do with a game after you have scored 13 goals? well, make seven changes for a start. the problem was that one of those changes was lloyd. the only woman to score three in the world cup final, did not take long for her first opportunity. world—class players really leave more than one chance. and the usa take it! that's now a record sixth consecutive world cup goal. it was about to get worse for chile. and no, this is not a replay.
7:36 pm
this time it was lloyd left with the freedom of paris. the americans continue to press but anglers started showing why she is one of the best keepers around and when it looked like lindsay had to make it four it, she was there again. the best was yet to come. an outstanding performance. it proved she is human after all. the last 16 beckons for the usa but they will be looking even further. so the usa join sweden in the last 16 who qualified earlier with a comfortable win over thailand who did manage to get their first goal of the tournament. it finished 5—1 to the swedes in nice. ed harry was watching. after conceding i3 after conceding 13 in the united states is know what you're telling looked nervous after kick—off. it
7:37 pm
did not take long for the shaky defence to start leaking more goals. linda scored a sweet and's first opener inside six minutes. they were soon up before they add a third and she struck it well, but the keeper should have done better. thailand managed to halt the attack for most of the second half. it was not until the sist minute that they added another. an unstoppable header. and then a moment to savour for thailand after letting in so many goals they finally had one of their own to celebrate. the travelling fans were given something to cheer about. the final twist came deep into injury time, robinson scoring from the spot to confirm sweden's place in the last 16. england and scotland play their final group d matches on wednesday night. england who are already through to the last 16 face japan whilst scotland have to beat argentina.
7:38 pm
jane dougall is following the scottish team in france. the training base is not farfrom here, and whence it will travel to the park for this crucial match against argentina. it spoke to a few of the players today and they are so aware that this is a must win game. evenif aware that this is a must win game. even if scotland to beat argentina they still might not qualify because they still might not qualify because they are dependent on other countries results. out of the six groups the top two in each of them will automatically qualify, but then four of the countries will also go through and scotland will have to help that they are one of those countries. the scotland keepers spoke to the media today and said they must leave everything on the pitch. i think they have to feel confident. i think i perform pitch. i think they have to feel confident. ithink i perform in pitch. i think they have to feel confident. i think i perform in the second half showing we have desire and try to get back into the game and try to get back into the game and creating the opportunity in the first thing that's important is
7:39 pm
teams under pressure and we have to start the games better but we know that it's in their hands and we need to get points against argentina and see what happens in the other groups. they have already qualified but this match will determine whether they finished top of their group or runners up. japan won the tournament in 2011 and they were runners—up in 2015, so they will be a formidable side and on paper there would be the toughest task so far. for england she knows the abilities of the japanese aside, she plays clu b of the japanese aside, she plays club with her captain. japan are a top side. the results might not have shown that recently but we know they area top shown that recently but we know they are a top side with top players and obviously i know personally they're captain isa obviously i know personally they're captain is a class player and one of the best in the world. the warm—up games are prepared and looking at each game as it comes. if they finished top of their group they
7:40 pm
will play one of the third—place countries which should be an easier route to the knockout stages and if they finish runners—up that will either play canada who beat them 1—0 underfriendly in either play canada who beat them 1—0 under friendly in april or the netherlands who put them out of the euros a few yea rs netherlands who put them out of the euros a few years ago and went on to win the tournament. scotland, on the other hand, if they do manage to get through might find themselves facing the hosts, france. tyson fury fought in las vegas for the first time overnight and put on a show for the american public, a second round stoppage against the german tom schwarz. fury is still unbeaten and eyeing a rematch against the wbc heavyweight champion deontay wilder. patrick gearey reports. tyson furey is not big on subtlety. the boy from manchester wants to crack america, so in las vegas he dressed like apollo creed, and character of the rocky movies. what followed was more a trailer then feature length. his german opponent was not in his class, no vegas poker face here. fury fights with a punch
7:41 pm
and a wink. smiling and swaying and then waiting for the right moment to bring down the curtain. schwartz tried to carry on but was helpless when faced with the final frenzy. they told was thrown and his first fight of a lucrative new tv deal was overin fight of a lucrative new tv deal was over in situ rounds. he tends to follow his greatest hits with encore to the world and his wife # and to the world and his wife #and| to the world and his wife # and i don't want to miss a thing. i don't want to take myself that seriously. i'm just a chubby guy that has fun and relaxed and i don't ca re that has fun and relaxed and i don't care about fighting, it spread naturally, what i do. it's fun and games for me in there. every match against the heavyweight champion it looks likely next year for fury. he isa looks likely next year for fury. he is a complex and controversial character who will never be universally adored but with every show he is becoming harder and harder to ignore. at golf‘s us open, justin rose is one shot behind
