now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday, with karthi gna nasegaram and jane dougall. the headlines this evening. var strikes again. manchester city are denied a last minute goal and the champions have to be content with spliting the points against tottenham. after being hit twice — steve smith goes on to top score for australia and it was england who were in pain — struggling with the bat at lords. officially number one! wales‘ victory over england put them at the top of the rankings and bodes well for the world cup. also coming up on the programme... we round—up the home nations action on day two of the men's eurohockey championships in antwerp. and, don't blink — you might miss it!

the incredible sport of speed climbing. it might be early days in the season but getting any points off premier league champions manchester city is vital for teams aiming for the title. that is what spurs did today with a 2—all draw at the etihad but under rather controversial circumstances with var playing a major part in the final few minutes of the game. ben croucher reports. manchester city fans arrive to matches these days full of confidence. normally a match of when rather than if they take the league,

after 15 straight league wins, predicting the first score wasn't too difficult either. not many would see a subdued spurs hitting back. their first see a subdued spurs hitting back. theirfirst goal a show see a subdued spurs hitting back. their first goal a show stopper. another try dentist did for miller, 2-1. another try dentist did for miller, 2—1. something had to change for totte n ha m. 2—1. something had to change for tottenham. this is lucas mora equalising. two shots on target, two totte n ha m equalising. two shots on target, two tottenham goals. what city would give for such prolificacy. they found a crossbar in the way. taking aguero of did not go down well. the ar spotted a handball in the build—up in stoppage time, leaving city leaving the petty ad feeling a little ha rd city leaving the petty ad feeling a little hard done by.

in the early match arsenal's premier league campaign is going well. they've won their opening two fixtures for the first time in a decade. in a new look team where david luiz made his arsenal debut — they narrowly beat burnley 2—1 at the emirates with the arsenal manager, unai emery saving particular praise for his new signings. rhia chohan reports. this is one of those feel good fixtures for arsenal, they have never failed to beat burnley at the emirates and with the new faces they were hoping to maintain that record. early on, alexandre lacazette took advantage of dismal defending holding off eric peters. strength and pure determination crafted an early lead but it was just before the break when burnley was able to cut open the defence to level, ashley barnes continuing his run of the season. in the second half pierre—emerick aubameyang elicited a reaction from nick pope. this attack allowed the victory to be settled and the sky—high

moment arsenal fans love. it is the first time in ten years the gunners have won their first two opening premier league games. on loan from real madrid he walked off toa on loan from real madrid he walked off to a standing ovation for that brilliant midfield display. feel good indeed. the first match was good because the team won and they helped us really well, and good for danny and pepe and the young players, another step ahead and positive for us. at the end of the day, we walked it. it was a dangerous area, it happens and they have got some good players as everyone in the premier league has. they took it straight on and smashed it in the corner, that can happen. you want to learn from these details but i thought overall it was a good performance.

in the other premier league matches, newcastle are struggling under new manager steve bruce and there was a howler in liverpool's match. joe lynskey has more details for us. i think we need a special word for ben croucher getting that report in on time. absolutely breathless stuff we have had with that manchester city finish. well, what of the side who want to catch city this year — because liverpool were playing in the super cup in midweek — one of their rewards for winning the champions league. not quite so welcome though was that match went on for 120 minutes, plus penalties, and it was played in istanbul, an 8 hour round trip away. they had just two days off to get ready for this match at st mary's

where they were playing against southampton. but they got an important result. 2—1 it finished, liverpool's11th straight premier league. and this was thanks to the front players who are so often so important for them — sadio mane brought a slow and frustrating first half to life with a brilliant curling strike into the top corner to make it 1—0, before roberto firmino fired in low from inside the box to make it 2—0. now all the talk before this match was on liverpool's goalkeeping crisis — they thought they may have to give their emergency third choice keeper a game today, but adrian, their second choice was passed fit to play. he made an absolute howler though to let southampton back into the match, passing the ball straight to their striker danny ings

to score in an empty net. it made for a nervy last few minutes for last year's runners—up. liverpool though did hold on and in given the circumstances, the travelling and the test they had today, this could be an important one. it was so difficult for us today and we showed from the first and second, nobody is tired. we came here to win the game so we have to fight like crazy. before the game, i think most of the headlines are already written and everyone is prepared for it, it looked like the biggest banana skin in history. after 2—0 we didn't give up, we believed in what we were doing and i think

finally came back with 1—2 then tried everything and yeah, it is a pity. spurs city and liverpool will all be vying for the premier league title at the top of the table. one of the sides probably contesting down at the bottom because norwich city got a harsh lesson to start life in the premier league. they were beaten 4—1 by liverpool in the opener last week, but you can see today daniel farke‘s newly promoted side have their first win on the board in theirfirst home match, 3—1 against newcastle. we will get to the away side struggles in a moment. for norwich the man who was so often their hero last season was their hero today. this is teemu pukki, scoring the first of what would be a hat—trick. a brilliant volley followed by two well taken finishes. now, pukki scored 30 goals in all competitions

for norwich last season, but this was his first hat—trick for the club — all this for a player who was released by the danish side brondy at the start of last season. he's a finland international who was on the shortlist for the finnish sports personality of the year injanuary, and now he's made the perfect start to premier league life — the first top flight hat trick scored by a norwich player since 1993. a brilliant start for norwich. this is exactly the start newcastle didn't want though — there were boycotts ahead of their first home match, they've now lost their first two fixtures, and they have spurs and liverpool to come next. we knew it was going to be difficult, a newly promoted team with their tails up in the first game back and we didn't do enough

to get anything from it so we have to accept that, the whole performance with and without the ball certainly wasn't the level which was required. we worked a lot in practical terms and try to influence a game as much as possible. in the first half we we re even as possible. in the first half we were even more brilliant than the second half so it was like a thunderstorm with thunder and lightning. lightning crashed in the first half, the second half was also affected. —— first half, the second half was also affected. — — effective. well, like norwich aston villa were playing their first home match back in the premier league. so much excitement at villa park before taking on bournemouth, but you can see they witnessed a defeat on villa's return. now villa's issue in the first

few weeks of the season it's going to be integrating the number of new signings they made over the summer. one of them is their goalkeeper tom heaton but he was at fault and gave away a penalty in the first half which josh king converted for 1—0. now bournemouth too have strengthened in the close season, and they're very excited about this man — harry wilson on his debut today — scoring brilliantly from distance to make it 2—0. when you watch this go back, fans of derby county and wales national team, this of goal will not be surprising because it is the long range effort wilson is known for. he has such a clean strike on him. villa did get a well taken goal of their own back to make it 2—1 through douglas luiz. but even with that hairstyle it wasn't enough to brighten up villa's afternoon.

they, like newcastle, have two defeats out of two. two big mistakes and to score two goals in the first ten minutes, very difficult in this league to come back to that but credit to the lads, they kept trying, kept knocking on the door, they had some chances. more possession, more opportunities but you are always chasing the game at 2—0 and it allows them to slow the game down. i'm still not sure help fill billings stayed on the pitch. he had yellow cards. we knew the importance of the game, really pleased at the start of the match but we knew the game was going to be hugely important. aston villa got it and we were pleased with how we defended, we learnt from last week.

so confirmation of those results, including a 1—0 win for everton against watford, and a 1—1 draw between brighton and hove albion and west ham. that was another match that saw a couple of controversial dar calls. four points for brighton from their first two games, in manager graham potter's first season in the premier league. manchester city and tottenham hotspur, this var coal is going to be one remembered for a long time. it took three minutes for the ball going in to not being given and a really controversial end to a big match today which finished 2—2 and you wonder what effect that could have, what those dropped points

could mean for manchester city at the end of this season. very dramatic end to the week. they will have to learn to celebrate goals until they are absolutely certain! in scotland the second round of the league cup was extended with four of today's five fixtures going to extra time. ajames forest goal in the 114th minute saved celtic‘s blushes against dunfirmline — finishing 2—1. lots of goals in the hibs v greenock morton game, it finished 5—3 to hibs. and partick thistle beat ross county 3—2. in the championship, leeds united are top of the table after the opening three games of the season. they beat wigan athletic 2—0. it was an ill tempered game with wigan down to 10 men after just 20 minutes. both of the leeds goals came from patrick ba mford. barnsley and charlton drew 2 all. west brom beat luton 2—1. nottingham forest beat birmingham 3—0. in league one, sunderland have got their first win of the new season — at the third attempt. they beat portsmouth 2—1 at the stadium of light.

all three goals came in the first half — chris maguire with sunderland's winner — six minutes before the break. there are full results from all the leagues on the bbc sport website. let's take a quick look at some other stories around today... the third round of the pga championship is underway at medina with hideki matsuyama the man to chase. he's at the top of the leaderboard after breaking the course record by two shots in the second round with a stunning nine—under—par 63. one shot behind are americans patrick cantlay and tony finau. rory mcilroy is on 9 under. in super league, london broncos beat catalans dragons 17—4. alex walker scoring this try for the broncos in the second half. salford beat hull in the day's only other game.

and world number one reeanne evans has won the inaugural snooker women's tour championship beating hong kong's ung on yee at the crucible in sheffield. it's the first time since 2003 that women have played at the iconic venue. it has been a fascinating fourth day of the second test at lord's. and yet again it's steve smith who is the big talking point. the australian was hit twice during his innings, leading to him leaving the field with concerns about concussion but remarkably smith returned. he top scored with 92, australia all out for 250, which meant england had a slender lead but their second innings has not started well. michael redford reports. another day of ashes cricket, another day of steve smith making the headlines, although perhaps not in the manner he expected.

87 more runs on day four will see him be the first batsman to score four consecutive ashes centuries in england. how to stop him? england did not have an answer. but if you can't get smith get the man at the other end. a moment of celebration briefly. through stubbornness and style smith brought up his 50, england needed inspiration. jofra archer provided it. his pace confused play. more pain could be found at the crease. archer was too quick, all of a sudden smith was looking for answers. aggression, accuracy, antagonism, archer had found his ashes spirit. smith was bamboozled again. smith was forced to leave over concussion concerns, down but not officially out. he was only absent for a short period. cleared to play, he would soon return, needing 20 runs for his century.

he got 12 of them before succumbing to chris wilkes, australia all out for 250. smith did not field for england's second innings. australia did not seem to miss him. they took four wickets in the final session, including the first ball for captainjoe session, including the first ball for captain joe root. iam too i am too excited about the cricket! i was thinking about the rugby, that is the difference between us! wales are number one in the world for the first time ever after beating england in cardiff. warren gatland's side ground out a 13—6 victory in the world cup warm—up. it pushes new zealand off the top spot for the first time in 10 years as holly hamilton now reports. another week closer to the world cup, another chance to prove their worth. england know who will be boarding

the flight to japan whilst for wales, there was more than just pride at stake. one man looking to book his plane ticket is dan biggar. backin back in the number ten shirt. he followed up an early penalty with fast thinking. england went a man down and he took his chance to the arms of george north who duly complied with the only try of the game. after the break, the friendly felt a little less friendly as england finally got some points on the board. george ford narrowing the gap with his second penalty, just four points in it, enough to make the home fans a bit nervous. they need not have worried. the kick added to the welsh scoreline and gave them the win as wales go top of the world rankings for the first time. france host scotland at the allianz in nice in under 30 minutes' time. the last time the two sides met it was a convincing 27—10 win to france in the six nations. scotland though have come

through the injury crisis that caused them problems when they played that match. andy burke reports from nice scotland come here to the french riviera looking to register a victory. it would be a real shot in the arm ahead of the world cup next month in japan. it is over 20 years since the scots last won in france but it is the performance of individuals that will be key with world cup places up for grabs. duncan taylor starts his first test match for over two years. he has had a horrid run of injuries. john barclay throws on a scotland jersey for the first time in a year also. rory hutchison should make his debut from the bench. they will all be looking to impress gregor townsend and secure a seat on the plane to japan and what better way to do that then end scotland's long losing run here in france. world champions new zealand have emphatically bounced back from last week's record test defeat to australia. they hammered their rivals 36—0 in auckland, with a really

polished performance, richie mo'unga scoring 1a points, including the opening try — although there was cause for concern later when he was forced off the field after a heavy tackle. sevu reece kicked through to finish off the pick of the tries in the second half. it's the 17th season in a row that new zealand have lifted the bledisloe cup. south africa came from behind to beat argentina 2a— 18, thanks to two tries by sibussiso nkosi and some accurate kicking from elton jantjies. all four home nations have been in action on day 2 of hockey‘s euro nations championship. automatic qualification for the tokyo olympics is the prize for the winner. and wales were denied a famous win in their opening match. they drew 2—2 with england — but had led 2—1 with just over eight minutes left — thanks to this own goalfrom henry weir. but, after swapping their goalkeeper

for an extra attacker, england snatched a draw. james gall with the equaliser withjust over 2 minutes remaining. both teams are back in action tomorrow. five to go and being in that position, it is a position we are familiar with, disappointed we cannot pull through. really pleased with the first run out, it took us a a while to get going and it wasn't a complete performance. patches of good stuff, i think we got better as the game went on and became more confident with the ball. scotland had a nightmare start to their tournament though. they were thrashed 9—0 by germany in their opening match in pool b. the eight—time winners were 4—0 up at half time and continued to dominate with 3 more in the final quarter.

it was tough, obviously we are disappointed with the results went. they are a top side and it is a good learning curve, it is good to be here but we don't want to be here taking part, we want to compete so that was a lesson but we will go back and learn from it. well scotland face ireland on sunday — who will also be licking their wounds after a heavy first round defeat. ireland were thrashed 5—1 by the netherlands — the reigning champions scoring their first three goals inside the opening eight minutes. too many periods of the game we drop down to a level which is not good enough when you are playing a team of the calibre of the dutch, we have to look to improve in a few areas, specific areas, especially our defensive shape, the dutch cut through us to easy on a couple of occasions but we will look to put that right for it tomorrow. tomorrow some of the best athletes in the world head to the west midlands for the birmingham diamond league.

christian coleman, nafi thiam and katarina johnson thompson are all competing. one of the showpiece events is the women's 200 metres — it's an impressive line up with five of the fastest seven in the world this year in the starting blocks — and that doesn't include reigning world champion daphne schippers. britain's dina asher smith is also in that 200 metre starting line up — so what was her first thought when she saw the entry list? i was like, "boy." i was like "look, i'm out here on my home turf on a nice race and you brought every fantastic female sprinter to birmingham" which obviously is great, i am a competitive person so it is going to make me raise my game and run a fast race. when i first saw it there was another athlete

that was still in it and i was like, "you just lined up the olympics here." we don't need to go to tokyo, you have brought it to birmingham. what a character she is and you can see how she gets on at the grand prix from birmingham. i will be watching it just to prix from birmingham. i will be watching itjust to see her. that smile! amazing. before we go — let's show you this. the world climbing championships continued in japan today, and it was the turn of the speed climbers, just have a look at this from poland's aleksandra miroslav. she scaled the wall in just over 7 seconds to take gold and successfully defend her title. ludovico fossali of italy won the men's gold medal. how incredible. i have done commentary and there is not a lot you can say in seven

seconds, by the time you finish your sentence they are already at the top. it will be in tokyo. don't blink or miss it. the ashes test, the second test which has been going on, england are on 96 forfour, four runs which has been going on, england are on 96 for four, four runs ahead which has been going on, england are on 96 forfour, four runs ahead of australia after quite an incredible day with steve smith being hit twice, going off the field with concussion and going back again. there was some controversy toys the end of the manchester city tottenham match, if you want to see the details watch match of the day but there was a goal denied because of var. it strikes again. they had to split the point between them and totte n ha m , split the point between them and tottenham, 2—2 it finished. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more at half past seven.

we have got some rain to come for some areas of the uk, lots of showers packing in and further south we have a wiggling weather front which extends to the south. this is probably going to push rain into southern counties of england, it will swing into south—east england and east anglia overnight to threaten a bit of rain. rain at times for the far south and south—east of the uk, showers will be widespread across scotland and northern ireland. in between these areas of rain, we could see a couple of showers but by and large, it will be drier weather with clear expels. a breezy night and not a cold one, 10-14d. a breezy night and not a cold one, 10—14d. tomorrow, any rain will

quickly clear out of the way with sunny spells following. the date of sunshine and blustery showers, quite a number of showers for north west england and northern wales but some rain sunshine between the downpours.

this is bbc news. i'm ben bland. the headlines at 8pm... detectives investigating the death of a police officer have said he died of "multiple injuries", as they were given more time to question 10 suspects. within an hour of the incident happening we had arrested ten males aged between 13 and 30 on suspicion of murder. i can confirm that the males were arrested from a local authority—run caravan and mobile home site. a 17—year—old has been charged with the murder of lawyer peter duncan, who was stabbed with a screwdriver in newcastle on wednesday. pro—democracy protesters take to the streets of hong kong once more — they've been supported by thousands of teachers. jeremy corbyn‘s proposal to be installed as a caretaker prime minister to prevent a no—deal brexit is rejected by another
