goal of the game in the 93rd minute. they did not get any better in the netherlands, and not only did they get hold to a goalless draw, but it was the first time that the united failed to muster a single shot on target. away from the european action, tammy abraham looks to have committed his future to england. the cheslea striker is eligible for nigeria through his father, but he's been called up by gareth southgate for this months euro qualifiers against the czech republic and bulgaria. abraham, who's 22, scored in the champions league against lille last night. he won two england caps two years ago against brazil and germany, but they were friendlies so he could still have played for nigeria. his chelsea teamate fik—ayo tomori has his first call up. i don't think it is ethically right

just to give a play or a cap to make sure that they can't play for somebody else. so the two boys that are in the squad this time — i won't guarantee that they will get on the pitch. but they have both been a part of ourjunior system right the way through. two scottish sides in action as well this evening. victory for celtic, but late heartbreak for rangers. lydia campbell was watching. and glasgow, so take her out for revenge. they were dumped out of the champions league just seven weeks ago. in 20 minutes and, they started to banish those memories. they thought they would equalise. but

celtic was seen by the off—site flag. southhampton, they have enjoyed life and glasgow so far. and started this move and finished it too. a very different outcome from what happened seven weeks ago, over in switzerland, the other half of the group have only lost once. alfredo barged his way through before half—time and it was only one outcome. but it did not take long for the young boy to respond, roger attacking just after. they thought they should've had a penalty for

this challenge before david kept the colombian here. and then disaster, slipping leaving christian to run clear for the points. slipping leaving christian to run clearfor the points. sucker punch in the last second on a night bird could've been so much more. ireland, following their shock defeat to japan at the rugby world cup, got their qualifying campaign back on track with a bonus point victory over russia in kobe. with head coachjoe schmidt making 11 changes to the side that lost that match. 0ur correspondent katie gornall was watching ireland'sjourney here has been anything but smooth, they arrived in the port city of kobe, still smarting from the shock defeat to the tournament's hosts. 11 changes were made to the side that lost to japan,

france faces and fresh start. they made an immediate impact and barely it was on the clock when they cut to rush a prospect offence to score. how they needed that. this is the first on the fly half, atjohnny sexton n ireland and it was essential. island plus my fans when the mood more, and they obliged with a little help. eventually conway clipped them into gear, sprinting fee for the fourth try to earn a vital bonus point. russia lost tojc in the building to the world cup but they made life difficult here for ireland, before garry ringrose rounded things off. ireland are back on track but leave a lot to be desired. the number one priority for ireland was to leave at the bonus point and they have done that and now they have the luxury of nine days to prepare for their final group k dominic game against samoa. the number one priority was to win with the bonus point and now they have the luxury of 90 days to prepare for the final group game against samoa.

it's called the hundred — that's the number of balls each side will face. the authority in england, the ecb, hopes the new version of the game will capitalise on england's world cup success, and introduce a new audience to cricket. 0ur sports editor, dan roan reports from the launch today, in london. it's cricket but not as we know it, rather than the traditional lords it was an east end brewery for the launch of the format. the biggest names of the sport from england were present as they found out who they would be playing for next year in the 100, the competition the ecb hopes it will breathe new life in the game. get the kids interested in cricket and playing it. it will be free to air on television which is really important and we saw the benefits of that in the world cup final, so i think it's great for the game and the more people we can get interested, the better it will be for us. it's 100 balls, the best players in the world, a brand—new team is, in seven cities. traditional rivalries redefined.

i'm pretty amazed at the kind of situation we have here at the launch, and it feels like something that the younger generation can really buy into. the ecb helps —— hopes to build on the world cup triumph and arrest the ecb hopes to build on the world cup triumph and arrest the decline in the numbers watching the spore but many ask if there is the need or indeed room for the tournament and warrior for alienate traditional fans. no one has explained where the new market will come from and many of us suspect that the new market is not there. if that market doesn't exist, then 200 million has been spent by the ecb to cannibalise its existing three products, which makes no sense whatsoever. whether the 100 is an innovation too far or a brave new dawn, what is sure is that one of the biggest gambles that english cricket has undertaken has moved closer and lots is at stake.
