6:32 pm
the parc de princes. such a crucial match tonight here at the parc des princes. a loss or draw will not do, scotland need to beat argentina. that will not be an easy thing to do because argentina despite being ranked 37 in the world have had a great world cup so far. they had a draw againstjapan and a very narrow one nil loss to england so very narrow one nil loss to england so scotland will have to break them down if they have any chance of getting out of the group stages. all the squad now they will have to throw everything at this match tonight. even in the england and japan game when we were down to nil eve ryo ne japan game when we were down to nil everyone saw we were better in the second half and we don't know how we ended up in the position so tha nkfully ended up in the position so thankfully upping our game but hopefully it won't go that way and hopefully it won't go that way and hopefully we know what we need to do and the three points as the main focus. we are joined by a former
6:33 pm
glasgow and scotland midfielder. how does shelley kerr have to set up against them tonight? we are hoping that we start how we finished the last two mac games, argentina have surprised some and i am impressed how they set up defensively. we will need to see a different side of the game. a must win game for them. scotla nd game. a must win game for them. scotland i think it is key that we start the game well, we have the courage and get the ball wide and use the pace of our wide players and create hopefully get our better the ball and get down the players on the ball and get down the argentina defence. does she may be have to start with clare emslie? in the last game i think she was a mess. she had a great impact. she is a great player and not —— this.“ scotla nd a great player and not —— this.“ scotland beat argentina still looking at other results and the way
6:34 pm
it can be with scotland as well. we don't like depending on other people but do you think they can do it?|j think we can. we knew argentina was a must win game and i don't think anyone has changed, same situation. the fact the two scores we have had so the fact the two scores we have had so far will be a help, the goal difference, it is in our hands, fingers crossed we make it through. if scotla nd fingers crossed we make it through. if scotland go through they will face germany and that is a tough one. if you get through to the stage it will be tough so i think they will be desperate to get through. and keeper speaking to us. the stadium could be hosting a historic match because if scotland win tonight that could be the first time any scotland football team gets through the world cup group stages. it will be a nervy night. so, scotland have it all to do.
6:35 pm
england need just a draw againstjapan to top their group. let's head live to the stade de nice and join our sports correspondent katie gornall, who has been with the lionesses. beautiful sunshine. it is notjust about topping the group. it would be really good for the lioness is to send out some kind of statement at this tournament because they haven't done that yet. yes, i think it has been a bit of a case of getting the job done for england. two quite gritty games they have come through so gritty games they have come through so far against scotland and argentina but japan presents so far against scotland and argentina butjapan presents a com pletely argentina butjapan presents a completely different challenge this evening. alongside me here is the former england goalkeeper rachel brown—finnis. when you think of japan you can't help but think of that cruel semifinal defeat four yea rs that cruel semifinal defeat four years ago but england have come on so much. what do you expect this evening? england have improved so much and japan are going through a
6:36 pm
reformation period for 2020. it is white triangles, one touch play commit neat and tidy. three completely tests in this group stage ati completely tests in this group stage at i don't think it is unsurmountable for england. i expect them to make tactical changes in the approach to this game because it is different, but phil neville always has something different up his sleeve. do you think they will try and makea sleeve. do you think they will try and make a statement to top this group? yes, the commitment of the group? yes, the commitment of the group is about winning, simple as that. this game will be no perception, no trying to work out the most devious or best way to get out of the group, they will want to win tonight. as forjapan you touched on it there, the inexperience, the other one at a world cup before but this team seems to be in transition, do you think they present the same thread?” think they are getting better and better but i don't think they present the same threat as four years ago, but then you would never
6:37 pm
underestimate them. they are kind of a conveyor belt of talent, they take theirunder17 is our a conveyor belt of talent, they take their under 17 is our successful and progressed through the age groups and stick together. you know this team will come good at some point but they are not quite there yet. england will not underestimate them. we know what they are about and he has a great game plan to counter that. it sounds like you are saying they are favourites. it depends on which team handles the heat better. and the noise. england fans are here in full voice. they are desperate for england to make it three from three. we love it, brilliant. rachel brown—finnis getting involved as well. fantastic. thank you both. thanks to them as well. there we go, couldn't have timed it better. there's coverage of both england
6:38 pm
and scotland's games across the bbc. there's coverage of england vjapan on bbc one from 7:30pm. there's also commentary on bbc radio five live. if you prefer to watch scotland v argentina, it's on bbc four, or you can hear it on radio five live sports extra. to the tennis now. the world's best women are in birmingham, the men at queen's, as we hurtle towards towards wimbledon fortnight. it was a washout yesterday in west london, and there was some play today but not much. our tennis correspondent russell fuller is at the queen's club. hello. we will get to the play that has restarted at queens in a moment, butjohanna konta has this terrible record at birmingham and that is seven times now she has failed to get past the second round. she lost to elaine 0stapenko. yes, and it was one of those performance by 0stapenko today that the other players in the world fair. she is so
6:39 pm
erratic. since winning the french open two years ago at the age of just 20, she has dropped in the rankings but she is so powerful, committee because shots and today was on of those days when she was in the zone. she put konta under too much pressure and she wasn't able to deal with the heat today losing in straight sets. it is a disappointing run in birmingham. i think having reached the site files of the french open having the are permitted in birmingham and with a spoon to come before wimbledon i don't think konta will be commenting just yet. she has a bit more time to play with. play there, i saw one martin del potro get through and then we had the truncated match with dan evans. i saw him twist his ankle pretty badly in the first set, is that over? yes, they have just completed the match. you can hear the announcement ahead of kyle edmund's match with stefano tsitsipas the top seed, they have just been welcomed onto the centre
6:40 pm
court at queens. evans was beaten 65,674. court at queens. evans was beaten 6-3,674. a court at queens. evans was beaten 6—3,674. a good performance by wawrinka. evans is fine, he won back—to—back challenger tournament so he is having a great grass court season but i think it was the lets me that he heard as he slipped. i think there is nothing to worry about with wimbledon just around the corner. it was a little bit slippery and they have been trying to mop up from the last couple of days. one of the big talking points today is feliciano lopez who will be playing with andy murray in the doubles tomorrow. he addressed these allegations of match fixing that go back a couple of years. yes, these are allegations that have been printed in spain, saying that feliciano lopez and his doubles partner mark lopez, no relation, we re partner mark lopez, no relation, were implicated in a match fixing investigation. what has been alleged and it is based on police reports is and it is based on police reports is a couple of former footballers
6:41 pm
rowell bravo who used to play for leeds united and real madrid and carlos miranda who are under investigation and said to contact is that it be worth putting money on lopez and lopez losing in the first round of the wimbledon doubles in 2017. lopez says he is very shocked to have discovered this particularly as he only discovered it on the internet and he distanced himself from these allegations in the strongest possible terms today. following reports in the media did mention my name and my partner mark lopez i think it is important to come to you and deny any link with the events described in relation to the events described in relation to the allegations of match fixing. unfortunately all tennis players are public figures and are supposed to have good name used beyond our control, for that reason i will do everything in my power to defend myself against any such false accusations. he had to really clear that up, but we will see him on
6:42 pm
court a day later than we anticipated because of the weather. with andy murray it will be fantastic to see him back in some kind of competitive action since his second dip operation at the turn of the year. —— hit. we hope it happens tomorrow. because of the rent to buy the singles is a long way behind and we haven't seen the schedule for thursday but the hope is that murray and lopez will play the top seeds from colombia. if murray were to win the title here he would need to play for matches in four days and normally that is a concern for players when they return from injury but this is doubles played over a shorter format but this is doubles played over a shorterformat on but this is doubles played over a shorter format on the atp tour and it is grass. the overriding emotion for andy murray is excitement. he is like a child on christmas eve desperate to get back into the mix again. many thanks indeed, live from the queen's club. some breaking news reaching us in the last couple of minutes. detectives investigating
6:43 pm

6:44 pm
now. birmingham joined the cricket world cup party today. new zealand can move to the top of the standings with a win against south africa and they are chasing what looked like a very gettable 2112 for victory. but they have been making a bit of a meal of it. craig templeton reports. edgbaston has had to wait three weeks to post its first world cup game, a wet outfield met the fans we re game, a wet outfield met the fans were kept waiting just a little longer. when play got under way trent boult didn't hang around. they started to gradually build the recovery. but it can be hard to recovery. but it can be hard to recover when the ball is bowled at your off stump at 92 mph. amla made his half—century but this time spin found the gap. this sex finally gave the south african fans something to shout about. —— six. this was it too
6:45 pm
little, too late? 2112 didn't look a big target. however new zealand didn't get off to the best of starts. martin guptill helped them give a starts. martin guptill helped them givea grip starts. martin guptill helped them give a grip on the chase came at the same can't be said for the footwear. south africa were now fighting for world cup survival. they got both ross taylor and tom latham in quick succession. the kiwi captain kane williamson was still in bud 2112 runs was looking larger by the over. it could be a tight finish. the latest, williamson still there on 72. new zealand need another 82 runs, 13 overs remaining. it is doable but pretty slow going. ahmed khan says anthony joshua doable but pretty slow going. ahmed khan says anthonyjoshua shouldn't
6:46 pm
get straight back in the ring with andy ruiz get straight back in the ring with andy ruinr. despite a rematch being agreed, joshua lost his three world titles to the mexican earlier this month. khan is preparing for a fight in saudi arabia next month and said his first pro defeat back in 2008 made him choose his next fights carefully to rebuild his career. and thatjoshua should carefully to rebuild his career. and that joshua should do carefully to rebuild his career. and thatjoshua should do the same after his shock defeat. don't give up, come back stronger, keep working hard. i don't think you should fight the same guy again, this quick, you should take one or two tune—up fights and then get back in the ring with him. i think that would build his confidence back up and then step in the. a quick look at other headlines. luis enrique has left his position as the head coach of the spanish national team. he's stepping down after less than a year in charge, with former assistant coach robert moreno replacing him. enrique had been absent since march because of "a family matter of an urgent nature" according to the spanish football federation. the former manchester united and england midfielder paul scholes

6:48 pm
much better. we will travel home and have some days rest to recover from the crash and writing is done here. then start his reparation for the tour. let's return to football. let's just return to football, which is what anna vincenti has done. the british freestyle skier has swapped the piste for the pitch. not only that, the former scottish under—17 goalkeeper has also switched nationality and will be turning out for malta when the european championship qualifiers begin in august. nick hope has been to meet her. from spectacular skiing two stunning saves. it has been a dramatic life changing yearfor anna saves. it has been a dramatic life changing year for anna vincenti.” used to love freestyle skiing because it was pure adrenaline. u nfortu nately i because it was pure adrenaline. unfortunately i had a few injuries over the years and i got the figure massively. i started to look at people going off the 60 footjumps andi people going off the 60 footjumps and i was like i don't want to do that, it looks scary to me now. even
6:49 pm
now i can't believe i did that. i have loved football all my life and ijust decided i want to go back playing full stop i have missed it so much. thankfully motherwell said they would sign me and to confine with and it probably it was the best decision i could have made so by sports isn't the only change. she decided to compete for her grandfather's nation of malta and ta ke grandfather's nation of malta and take a newjob delivering post in edinburgh. in the winter everyone said what are you going to do when you get back, the hours are crass, crazy in the mornings and then evening times i have training. haven't been chased by any dogs yet, do get coached on that? a lot of coaching, if there is a dog here you need to back down and stuff like that. i am need to back down and stuff like that. iam praying i need to back down and stuff like that. i am praying i don't get bitten by a dog. that is hopefully a
6:50 pm
temporary concern for anna vincenti with increased investment in women's football emphasised by record viewing figures as well as attendance both domestically and at the world cup in france. the women's game has taken off for sure. some women's teams could probably be three minutes of the future is very bright. life is crazy and it is busy at the moment, 100 mph but for the next four years i willjust keep training and try and become the best keeper i can be. hopefully i will be able to stop the girls going on. —— goals going in. the women's world cup in france, scotla nd the women's world cup in france, scotland and england both in action, you can catch it all across the bbc. i will be watching the scotland game, can they do it against argentina? from me and the rest of the team on sportsday it is good
