how the ashes might have been different if this had happened a little more often. yes, england take the wicket of steve smith and for less than a hundred. a true rareity on day two at the oval. and how friday the 13th will definitely be unlucky for one super league team. as the relegation shake up is settled, could london broncos pull off an unlikely escape act? also coming up in the programme: the olympic champion hoping to have cleaner seas in which to compete as she makes a big plastic pledge. hello and welcome to sportsday. europe have never lost the solheim cup on scottish soil and day one of this year ‘s tournament suggests a determination not to change that

anytime soon. the usa started this morning ‘s opening foursomes hoping to retain trophy for a third time. as is the nature of team golf events, an incredible atmosphere descended upon gleneagles to welcome the opening tee of the solheim cup which europe hasn't taken for six yea rs. which europe hasn't taken for six years. the usa took the first point with the first siblings to play together in the cup. jessica and nellie korda thrashed caroline and jodie, six and four with their sister act. bronte law with a chance to save a match for europe. she managed to salvage a half with the usa's managed to salvage a half with the usa's morgan pretzel and marina alex.

but the morning to bed celebrating the slender european lead going into the slender european lead going into the afternoon ‘s four balls. a pretty good morning for the team flying the flag for europe. let's go live to the course now and to join sarah. we will come to the later stages of play but who stood out for you in those morning foursomes?” think it was a really positive opening session for the europeans. so important to get off to a good start for katrina matthews and her side and you had to put credit to three of the english players. we had bronte law who was out first taking that first tee shot. nerve—racking but herself and karl otto sikander battled ha rd to but herself and karl otto sikander battled hard to have their match and then you have georgia hall who won then you have georgia hall who won the british women's open last year. she had a very comfortable win and charley hull brought it home in a

strong finish along with... those players are very experienced. charley hull is just 23 but this is her fourth solheim cup and they were able to gain a point against the american rookie combination. that setup europe quite nicely with a lead of 2.5 points to 1.5 points after the morning session. it is difficult sometimes when you are the home side and you have the adrenaline flowing through you after that morning session to maintain it into the afternoon, but team europe had done that. yes, the sun is starting to set here and it is definitely looking like it is going to bea definitely looking like it is going to be a very good full day for the europeans. just to point out that there was one early point on the board in the afternoon for the americans, it was a record equalling when four angel americans, it was a record equalling when fourangelgin, americans, it was a record equalling when four angel gin, however we do think the three other matches will

go the way of the europeans. we know one is in already and that included the rookie and van damme. a lot of people were excited about watching her swing. great to be able to watch it here in real life and she was able to pick, guide her match through to an important early winter. there are two matches right 110w winter. there are two matches right now out on the course been finished up now out on the course been finished up andi now out on the course been finished up and i had to tell you about bronte law, she is really a player for the team occasions, the big moments like this. she had that hole in the morning and listen to this, they are up against the world number three, lexi thompson along with jessica corden. the americans with two up with four to play however powerful play from the europeans has put the europeans now with one up, they are about to come down the 18th here to try and claim what would be a very important point for the europeans. in the other match still ongoing, it is charley hull town.

she is up in their game. if things and as they are at the moment, scoring —wise, it will be 5.5 points to 2.5 points for europe against the usa. if you bear in mind that would equal the record of the biggest gap after the first day, so we could be pretty significant if things end as is four year appear pretty significant if things end as is fouryearappear in pretty significant if things end as is four year appear in gleneagles. should we tempt fate and say there isa should we tempt fate and say there is a three—point gap, let's do that. what would that mean in terms of the balance of power going into the weekend because clearly it is very difficult to sustain this over three days. what chance is, do you think? ido days. what chance is, do you think? i do have to say that traditionally the european teams are always very strong at the match play, so they a lwa ys strong at the match play, so they always do really well on friday and saturday when you have the foursomes and the four ball formats. the americans come back into it on the singles on sunday, so really for the

europeans they will need to try and eke out a bigger win at the americans, the two—time defending champions. i don't think it will be over too soon. 48 hours to go, fascinating golf at gleneagles. a rare thing happened at the oval today. england got steve smith out for less than a hundred. the australian batsman has been the single biggest reason why they retained the ashes this summer. but he's one of those wickets to fall on day two of the final test. joe wilson is at the oval for us. joe, it's a measure of smith's dominance that england will be happy to remove him forjust 80. in the context of him averaging 134 in this series, in the context of him averaging 177, this is one of his favourite grounds. such a busy day here when we think back to the start of the day which began with

england's first innings. and i'm sure the crowd that came in were hoping for an hour ofjos buttler, in the end we got 24 minutes. he was out for 70 which meant england were all out for 294. then england came to bowl and david warner was the first man out after so many ducks, i suppose in the context, it is getting to five, not too bad. england heard it and it was proved by review and that was the first of the wickets of the day forjofra archer who was back to his best here today. but what about that man, steve smith? again infuriating for england. chose his moments to attack as he did with that big six. and that took him to 50. how would england get rid of him? it was an ongoing issue through the afternoon but they had sam karen getting rid of the other players. two in two

balls. and played a big role. so smith was may be running out of partners and the man who came to get rid of him was chris woakes. when you look at this delivery to get rid of smith, this is the kind of dismissal england had imagined getting right through the series. this time he missed it so that was smith out for 80. you almost felt like thejob was smith out for 80. you almost felt like the job was done but it wasn't because that was just eight wickets down for 187. the man who came into clean—up was jofra archer, down for 187. the man who came into clean—up wasjofra archer, his fifth and sixth wickets the final of the day. final wicket to four. owed so much to rory burns. he did had to come out and bat again as england's opener and survived a tricky session before the close of play. they will resume in the morning. nine without loss in the second innings so that gives them a lead of 78 which standing here right now feel

significant. thank you very much. sir dave brailsford has revealed he's had surgery for prostate cancer. the team ineos principal, who's 55, was diagnosed with the disease injuly and will find out tomorrow if the surgery he had last month has been successful. brailsford oversaw team gb‘s domination of track cycling at the 2008 and 2012 olympics and has led a team that has produced seven tour de france winners in the last eight years. let's bring you up to date with some of the other stories we've been covering today at the bbc sport centre. staying with cycling, slovenia‘s primoz roglich recovered from a crash on stage 19 of the vuelta a espana to finish tenth and retain his overall lead with just one decisive stage to go. french rider remi cavagna claimed the biggest win of his career as he took the stage victory. the race finishes in madrid on sunday. he now leads by 12 seconds in the

general classification going into saturday's final stage. world champion bianca walkden took silver after a golden—point loss to arch rival shuyin zheng in the +67kg world taekwondo grand prix final in japan. it was the first meeting between the pair since walkden‘s controversial victory against the chinese olympic champion in the world final in may. it'll be a friday 13th fright night for one super league club tonight, as the regular season comes to an end with one of four teams facing relegation. it's sure to be a tense night and joe lynskey is here to look ahead. four teams, with the same record, the same points, all playing at the same time this evening. and by 10 o'clock one of them will be relegated from super league. one of wakefield trinity, huddersfield giants, hull kr or london broncos will go down to the second tier of rugby league after this last round of fixtures, and the cost of that is around

about a million pounds, an enormous amount of money in rugby league terms. let's take you through the table and the permutations for this evening, as you can see all that separates at the moment is their points difference. london broncos go into it bottom of the table, while wakefield are in the strongest position. and neither hull kr nor huddersfield can take any chances, because the sides either side of them london and wakefield play each other in west yorkshire tonight. an absolutely huge winner takes all match. if london are beaten, then they will definitely be relegated, but if the broncos win, then that puts all the pressure on the other sides.

hull kr perhaps have the most difficult fixture, against a salford side who could finish the season in third place. let's get the thoughts then from some of these camps, they're the side few would've expected in this — they finished fifth last season, and have one of the best wing players in the league injermaine mcgillvary. he says, frankly, they'vejust had an awful season. we are where we are for a reason. we have been disastrous, inconsistent. it has not been good. we have let the fans down but i feel like this game, if we could get the win, make amends for a lot of things that have gone on this season, but regardless, it is still not good enough. we know that. probably the worst season of my professional career. there is no use saving anything

for the week afterwards, there is no coming to train and putting things right next week, it's give it your all and give it your best and that's all i can ask of anybody and ask of anybody that plays on my team or works for the club. give it your all, give it your best and hopefully that will be good enough. so hull kr and huddersfield both know they need to win if london broncos get a result against wakefield. this side were promoted last season, and such is the gap in resources between the second tier and super league, no one really expected them to even be competitive at the start of the campaign. the broncos have stayed in touch though thanks to some gutsy wins in the last few weeks, including against second bottom hull kr last time out, and they've done high pressure games before. they won last season's win or bust play off match to secure promotion. and they're showing that

belief on twitter — this is it, for the only english side south of warrington in the league. tonight they go to wakefield trinity, who, as we've seen can't afford to lose themselves. tanya arnold is pitchside. it will be quite some night here. the nerves are alreadyjangling, the wakefield coach has come out saying, i have had better evenings. if he wins tonight, he will not mine. you know a night like this in rugby league? not really. it is so exciting and it has detected away from the top of the table. for four teams to be in a position, they have their heads in the nooses is unbelievable and by the same token, that mentality, it is quite exciting. london have exceeded all

expectations. some were saying they wouldn't win a game this year and they have won ten. they have had a good season. to win ten games as a team, it has been both a shock to the league and an absolute credit to those blokes and the players themselves. there have been lots of distractions but they have galvanised themselves. they found their character and boy have they won some important games. let's go through the games. hull kr at sa lfo rd , through the games. hull kr at salford, that looks tough. they had to win. they do but it will be difficult. salford's run of form is outstanding and they need a win to cement their place in the final. desperation brings a lot of images out. a couple of injuries and suspensions, a tough ask. i'm not sure they will get over the lined there. huddersfield at home against catalan. they should win that, particularly with how much underline

for them. again that element of do ordie for them. again that element of do or die must win will get had spilled over. i think catalan‘s form has not been great. they have crumbled away at the back end of the year after showing signs amid part of the season. i do think there is a win there for the huddersfield team. wakefield and london here. let's put it all together, who is going down? i think london, which i am sad about. what they have shown through the year, they have shown enough metal but wakefield are too good a team. brian is part of the team on five live. the most intriguing match of the premier laegue weekend features manchester united and leicester. one expecting to stay part of the top six, the other hoping to gatecrash the game's traditional elite. leicester are unbeaten so far this season, while manchester united haven't won

since the opening weekend and so when you look at the top of the table, as things stand, you can see the potential for united possibly being the team leicester replace. which would be interesting for harry maguire, the most expensive defender in the world, as a result of his move to manchester from leicester. but while the team have underachieved so far this season, his boss, ole gunnar solksjaer, says maguire has already shown he could be a future united skipper. he is definitely a character and a personality that can be captain of a big club. he is a leader in the dressing room. both by performances, presence, stature and behaviour. he isa presence, stature and behaviour. he is a character that you would say you'd like to follow. and so, some are technical leaders, some are

leaders by voice and he has the not really. manchester city defender aymeric laporte will be out for up to six months after having knee surgery. pep guardiola has admitted it'll be next year before the frenchman returns. john stones is fit again however for the champions‘ visit to norwich tomorrow. arsenal's alexandre lacazette is also facing a period out, albeit not nearly as long. the striker will miss at least the rest of september with an ankle injury. you might remember one of the stories leading up to the last olympics was the state of the marina in rio. these were the scenes in the months before the games and they highlighted a global issue that has been very much in the headlines since, about plastic waste. they struck a particular chord with one of team gb‘s sailors, who went on to succeed in those waters. hannah mills won a gold with saskia clark at the 2016 olympics, but with just a year to go to tokyo, has launched an initiative called

big plastic pledge to eradicate single—use plastic in sport after being "overwhelmed" by what she saw in rio. and she told me the situation in the next host country also concerns her. i think ithinkjapan i thinkjapan as a whole as a country has a lot of work to do, like all of us, but particularly plastics, single—use plastics, they area plastics, single—use plastics, they are a long way behind. they give out plastic bags like they are 1p pieces. you can't stop them giving them to you and everything in the supermarkets is wrapped, everything comes supermarkets is wrapped, everything comes with a straw, it is the little things that just they comes with a straw, it is the little things thatjust they haven't grasped yet and haven't understood may be the consequences of these actions. a lot of sporting institutions, whether they are vent based or football clubs, are attempting to do that but i would

imagine, that is scratching the surface, it needs to be a global effort to reduce the plastic that you witness more than most. absolutely. the uk now has such awareness and there are so many people doing amazing things and even globally, it is fantastic to see. but for me there are still places that are so behind and so, haven't jumped on solving this plastic pollution crisis and so through sport and through our campaign, hopefully we can start reaching out globally so that the whole world is warily working together to solve this problem. finally, your preparations for tokyo where if things go well, you could become the most successful british sailor at olympic games and bearing in mind you are doing this just being a year away, i am you are doing this just being a year away, iam hoping you are doing this just being a year away, i am hoping you are finding enough time. our preparations have been going well. we spent most of the summer injapan, we became world

champions out there, we won the silver medal at the test event so it has been really positive. jamie murray has described the prospect of playing in the tournament which bears his name as really special. murray, who won his seventh grand—slam doubes title last weekend, will be the main attraction at the tournament which takes place in glasgow next week. tyrone smith has more. they are finalising preparations at the leisure centre ahead of next week's marie trophy but there is no doubt who will be the star attraction. jamie murray will highlight the event which bears his family's name and which comes days after he became the first man in the modern era to win three consecutive us open mixed doubles titles. modern era to win three consecutive us open mixed doubles titlesm modern era to win three consecutive us open mixed doubles titles. in the past i have not taken stock or stayed in the moment, enjoyed that moment for what it was. but i have been really fortunate to achieve what i have been able to achieve so far in my career, i've had a lot of

amazing experiences, if you here in glasgow playing in the davis cup for britain and for me to get the chance to play a tournament in scotland is really special. i'm really looking forward to the week. in fact the 33—year—old has racked up a remarkable seven grand slam doubles titles. a champion once again here. as well as getting ready to play on home soil next week, he has also been heavily involved with organising the event. been learning a lot, been fairly involved in the process of trying to help put the event on. it has been interesting for me, learnt a lot about the other side and what it takes to put on an event, so definitely a good learning experience for me. a strong field will compete in the tournament which is an atp challenger event, the second tier of top—level tennis. post this summer season, before the

atp finals, this is the biggest event we have in this country and we really wa nt event we have in this country and we really want to build this event into something bigger. we see this very much as the start. the marie trophy gets under way on monday. europe and the usa have halved the latest four balls at the solheim cup taking the school for — three to europe. there are highlights on bbc two at seven o'clock. that is all from sportsday for now, goodbye. friday brought us a fine, settled into the working week with lots of sunshine and blue skies. similar scenes to this one behind me which was taken by one of our weather watchers in colchester gloucestershire. the outlook is more

of the same. things are looking dry. some rain working into the north and scotland in particular will see some heavy rain and some brisk winds through day on saturday. high pressure in charge for much of the uk through friday night and saturday but this area of low pressure approaching scotland, that is wet and windy weather. the wind is picking up across the north and west of scotla nd picking up across the north and west of scotland from the word go, fairly cloudy here. quite breezy and cloudy across parts of northern ireland through the second half of tonight. england and wales keep the dry weather and clear skies and it will turn quite chilly here, temperatures in the mid—single figures but it will be colder than that in the countryside and a future mist and fog patches first thing saturday. saturday we have the cloud and rain moving in across the north—west of scotland, the wind is picking up. also clouding over across northern ireland but england and wales, a fine, dry and sunny day.

temperatures of 21, degrees. the winds pick up across northern and western scotland. gusts of 40—60 mph. those gusts of wind combined with that heavy rain for the north—west of scotland won't be pleasant. it does look like as that low pressure clears towards the north and east we will see the wind is easing on into sunday and the rainfall becoming fairly light and patchy. through sunday we have this weather front just patchy. through sunday we have this weather frontjust pushing its way further south so rain for northern ireland, parts of northern england and north wales. either side of that it is looking dry with sunshine but a real contrast in temperature, only 14 degrees in edinburgh, up to 25 celsius in london and the south—east and as we look ahead through the next week, it looks like high pressure is often going to be in charge. lots of dry, settled weather with lots of sunshine. here is the outlook for our capital cities and those temperatures will creep up as we look towards next weekend.

david cameron breaks his silence on brexit. the former prime minister says a second referendum cannot be ruled out. meanwhile, borisjohnson has said he is cautiously optimistic about getting a deal on brexit, but about getting a deal on brexit, but a heckler in yorkshire tells him to get back to parliament. why are you not with the men parliament, sorting out the mess you have created? i'm very happy to get back to parliament very happy to get back to parliament very soon. the family of a teenager who died from an allergic reaction after eating out one of the law change to improve food labelling in
