6:35 pm
tomorrow afternoon so england may have to beat the weather as well as their opponents. bangladesh came out on top against the west indies today. this entry was hit at taunton today. this entry was hit at taunton to keep their hopes of a semifinal alive. it is a long way to taunton for both bangladesh and the west indies but defeat either side would bring them also to home. their approach is usually to accelerate. it turns out gale force was not the slight breeze, gone for a duck. 0thers came charging out of this shadow. there was a steady 17. that was the biggest sex of the tournament until this. jason holder aimed for wales. with correct necks
6:36 pm
bangladesh did their best keeping she hope out for a century. sheldon cottrell was past it. a high speed and confirmed in slow motion. still there, the greatest player steered there, the greatest player steered the game away from the west indies who were powerless as he glided to a century. 0ne acknowledged, not celebrated. the job was century. 0ne acknowledged, not celebrated. thejob was not century. 0ne acknowledged, not celebrated. the job was not done. the west indies were. shannon gabriel is one of the fastest bowlers around but he was catapulted over somerset. the biggest successful run chase of this world cup completed at a canter. never underestimate them. so this is how the world cup table is shaping up after that win for bangladesh today.
6:37 pm
they are now up to fifth, just behind england. india and new zealand remain the only unbeaten sides, but australia are top of the pile. remember only the top four sides will make the semi finals from the cricket world cup to the women's football world cup in france. 4 games at the tournament today, 2 of them coming to a close. china, spain and south africa, germany kicked off at 5 currently goalless between china and spain. this was the closest for spain. this was the closest for spain so far. the live pictures which you can watch on the sport website. and on the red button. just under ten minutes to play and still goalless in that one. germany are already through and will finish top of the group. they meet south korea 4-0. this of the group. they meet south korea 4—0. this is the group b table as it stands with the germany top at the table with nine points. spain and
6:38 pm
china on four and south africa will be eliminated with three defeats from three. france take on nigeria tonight. the hosts have already secured top spot in group a but it's still all to play for for nigeria who could still get through if they can pull off a shock in rennes. and that's where we can cross live now to our reporter sarah mulkerrins. france are looking to make it three out of three and after that when with much relief against norway, a good performance would go a long way. absolutely, it would. these fa ns way. absolutely, it would. these fans will be hoping for a good performance. we are expecting a sell—out crowd of about 30,000 people as the country gets behind its national side. they did have that brilliant opener against south korea, wonderful football but they we re korea, wonderful football but they were tested in that game against norway. there was a va are awarding a controversial penalty call that was scored to win that game. against
6:39 pm
nigeria tonight the opening —— they are hoping for a better performance. the coach said they are still outside those despite france and the us being the favourites. the last time they met, france beat nigeria 8-0 but time they met, france beat nigeria 8—0 but there is a place potentially in the knockout stage. they could qualify as top two if they pull off a shock and there are also four best third placed runner—up spots available so nigeria with one win already are hoping for something good tonight. i'm finishing top of the group could be tricky later on? this is what everybody is talking about. we have france as one of the favourites and the defending champions, the usa. and if both of them topped their groups and get through the last 16 games, they will
6:40 pm
meet in the quarterfinal stages. everybody thinks they are the top two tea ms everybody thinks they are the top two teams but i am not sure many people want them to meet. whether you have the usa play in sweden later this week and whether they wa nt to later this week and whether they want to finish top or second, we will see what develops. it could be one of the big teams out at the quarterfinal stages. thank you very much. england and scotland play their final matches in group d on wednesday. scotland need to beat argentina and still rely on other results to progress to the knockout stages. england, who are already through, will want to sign off with a win overjapan to secure a potentially easier route to the latter stages of the tournament. jo currie's in the south of france for us. england are back just england are backjust down the road. good news from the camp, speaking to the press was barcelona striker toni duggan who has declared himself fit to play. england's final game against japan on wednesday
6:41 pm
to play. england's final game againstjapan on wednesday night. she missed the first two games and she said it has been a frustrating time. you wait four years for another world cup to come around and then you go to all be training and wa nt to then you go to all be training and want to get picked, then you get on the plane finally and on the first day of training you get injured so really frustrating on a personal level. but i am proud of the girls and the team and i can come back now and the team and i can come back now and we are through to the last 16 which is really positive. hopefully ican which is really positive. hopefully i can help the team anyway i can. just a reminder england are already through to the knockout stages i need avoid defeat against japan and they will top the group. scotland are in paris gearing up for their final group match against argentina, they desperately need to win that game for any chance of going through to the last 16 or they are on their way home. defender sophie howard says there are not ready for their world cup china to end yet. says there are not ready for their world cup china to end yetm says there are not ready for their world cup china to end yet. it would be very disappointing. we have
6:42 pm
achieved great things getting here but we know we can do better than this. i cannot imagine thisjourney to end on wednesday. that thought hasn't even crossed my mind because i believe it is not done yet. so england against japan, scotland against argentina, both it o'clock kick—offs on wednesday. you can follow those matches on bbc sport on television, radio and online. both the england and scotland games kick off at 8 o'clock on wednesday. england top group d and need to only avoid defeat againstjapan to stay top. the equation, a little more complex for scotland — beat argentina and they'll still be nervously looking at other results. staying with football and chelsea's search for a new manager after maurizio sarri left to become the new head coach atjuventus. derby boss frank lampard remains the favourite for a return to stamford bridge. i caught up with our reporter simon stone a little earlier for more on that story as well as latest on paul pogba's future at manchester united
6:43 pm
we are waiting for chelsea to make an approach to derby county. derby owner and chairman mount morris has said as faras owner and chairman mount morris has said as far as he is concerned, frank is very much the man they see as taking the club forward. he got the club into the championship play—off final which did not quite worked out but he is looking to the long term and he said if chelsea won —— want frank lampard they have to have in open dialogue. that is the case of offering them the right amount of money and he will be chelsea manager. ithink amount of money and he will be chelsea manager. i think is more likely to be the stamford bridge dugout than the second favourite or jose mourinho who has done the job twice. you never say never and this is chelsea because they are unpredictable club but the overwhelming expectation of everybody in football is that frank
6:44 pm
lampard is going to be the next chelsea manager. what about paul pogba who had a lot to say over the weekend? he said they are potentially ready for a new challenge. that is interesting because he basically repeated comments from his agent that he came out with 12 months ago, saying there we re out with 12 months ago, saying there were deals to be done for paul pogba and deals for him to leave manchester united who i think i'm not impressed by that. he has got two years left on his contract and united have an option on that though he is contracted to manchester united until 2022. if somebody wants paul pogba what he wants to go somewhere else they have to pay. if we are talking about a transfer fee we are talking about a transfer fee we are talking in an excess of a is that ruled out madrid? they spent
6:45 pm
300 million euros already this tra nsfer 300 million euros already this transfer window. i do not think it rules them out because they have money but i think they need to get rid of players if they are going to comply with financial fair play they have to get rid of players. they will have to get rid of gareth bale who is on a contract that could be up who is on a contract that could be up to £600,000 a week. that is not easy and i think that has to happen before paul pogba can go to real madrid. clubs are interested in other transfers. we are hearing chelsea have turned down bids from classical madrid and barcelona. that has got legs. 0ne classical madrid and barcelona. that has got legs. one player did so well on loan from leicester in monaco, are manchester united going to go for him? we are hearing united may have been sniffing around west ham. there is a lot of mileage in the
6:46 pm
tra nsfer there is a lot of mileage in the transfer window yet, we are in the early stages and there is going to bea early stages and there is going to be a lot of deals going between now and august, and the stages in which the transfer windows in the various country close. andy murray will return to competitive action this week for the first time in six months when he com petes first time in six months when he competes in queens. a persistent injury had looked to end his career but a successful operation, he is back. he told sally newman that the public‘s messages had helped him return. once i got home and i was walking around, i had lots of people coming up to me and chatting to me and asking me not to stop and to keep trying. they said they wanted to see me back on the court. little things like that do give you a little bit of motivation and a kick to keep going when you are struggling. it was nice and like i
6:47 pm
say, it was a difficult time for me. i realised that when i did talk about it and spoke about it people responded positively. do you feel the love? yes, i do, especially when i play at home. support has always been brilliant here and hopefully, when i get on court it will be the same again in next couple of weeks. cameron norrie has missed out on one of the biggest scalps of his career. kevin anderson beat him after morris to —— nouri took the first set. cameron nouri came so close. that second set tie—break was close. —— cameron norrie. he has not done
6:48 pm
wrong. we have not seen him play very much because he keeps getting raw draws. that was another one against kevin anderson. this is a quy against kevin anderson. this is a guy he was beat roger federer at wimbledon in the quarterfinals last year. a great effort from cameron norrie, we got to know him a little bit yet. he is only 23, good effort but it does not make it through to the second round. it is tough out there. kevin anderson was three months of the tour with an elbow injury and that is not easy because you forget how to play and win matches. we talk about andy murray coming back to the hip surgery, any time you have a surgery or injury thatis time you have a surgery or injury that is not clearing up, you think, is that it? it tennis player's career can be over at any moment. kevin would have had all those doubts. he is not on automatic pilot because he has not played close matches. it was so impressive because he never looked down. he
6:49 pm
never looked like he was second he just began to pick up the ball a bit better and he was playing again. he is so well—suited to grass. nobody wa nts to is so well—suited to grass. nobody wants to see their name him in the draw in wimbledon. tomorrow we have many matches. the big story of tennis this year is kyle edmund's game. you can talk about any of those matches, especially with dan evans who has a very individual game. he is in fantastic form and i saw him play at surbiton, slicing and dicing. he went up to nottingham and dicing. he went up to nottingham and he won the whole tournament despite the bad weather. he has the winning habit so i think dan is a favourite to beat stan that is a
6:50 pm
statement and we will be back with that much at one o'clock on bbc two. the defending champion marin cilic has won his opening match in straight sets. he beat novak djokovic in the final last year and is looking for a third title. johanna konta is 30 the second round at the birmingham classic after a straight set victory. she was playing her first match since reaching the semifinals of the french open. charlton athletic say they have been unable to agree terms with manager lee bowie over a new contract. the club said they have offered him a year long contract extension and if he changes his mind it is still on the table. the tour
