6:32 pm
the party's next leader. police appeal for information, after a food delivery driver was stabbed to death in north london last night. ben bland will be with you from 7pm. now on bbc news, it's time for sportsday. hello, and welcome to sportsday, with me, karthi gnanasegaram, and chetan pathak. the headlines this evening... we'll bring you the best of the action from the third round of the fa cup, as league one strugglers tranmere come from 3—0 down to earn a replay against watford. aston villa are one of two premier league teams to be knocked out — this cracker getting fulham the win at craven cottage. england's bowlers lead the fightback in cape town, as ben stokes takes four catches
6:33 pm
on day two of the second test against south africa. also coming up in the programme... we speak to the double—amputee snowboarder darren 00:03:15,1000 --> 00:03:18,175 swift who's who's aiming for glory at this year's british snowboard and freeski championships. we will have more on that extraordinary result for tranmere. the early kick—off involved top flight newcastle united being held to a 1—1 draw by league one's rochdale. their ao—year—old subsitute, aaron wilbraham, scoring the equaliser for rochdale to earn them a replay. michael redford
6:34 pm
reports. we can't bring you that reportjust yet, but the substitute served a pass with their 17—year—old team—mate. they now have a big money replay at st. james park, and they we re replay at st. james park, and they were almost ready to play that game straight again after today's 90 minutes. let's try and bring you the goals we were talking about earlier with michael redford's report. a moment of footballing history as rochdale took on newcastle for the first time in a competitor fixture. two teams separated by 48 places in the football league. but any hopes of a cup upset seemed unlikely as the away side quickly made themselves at home. miguel ameron putting newcastle in front. the premier league side were dominant throughout the first half, but couldn't take their chances. joe linton missed his target before
6:35 pm
he was denied from place range. rochdale needed a reaction, and rathbone nearly provided it, his shot spilled, denied by the post. before rathbone was denied, spotland sensed an equaliser. they were right. across from 17—year—old luc matheson, finished by ao—year—old aaron wilbraham — the perfect mix of youth and experience. the league one side could have won it later on, but rathbone failed to finish. disappointment for him and for rochdale, but a replay at st james park awaits. it should've been put to bed. but we don't score enough, and the number of chances we've had today, we should be taking at least 2—3 of them. and it's not a cup tie any more. the longer it goes without getting a second one... it obviously gives rochdale a sign of encouragement. and to be fair to them, they made a cup tie in the second half which caused a right few problems. there was no embarrassment in the first half, these guys have done amazing jobs.
6:36 pm
ijust wanted them so much to show what they could do to the national audience at the second half, and they did everything and more we are capable of doing. newcastle have reached the fourth round for the last three seasons. whether they can do it again this year seems to be seen. but for rochdale, the fa cup dream is still very much alive. michael redford, bbc news. it was a great feeling, obviously, just happen to come on and be involved with those. the second half seemed to go so quick to me, i could've kept playing for another hour. when they put the injury timeout, i wasn't ready for it. i enjoyed it, and it was great fun, as you say. league one tranmere pulled off a stunning fight back at watford. they were 3—0 down until the 65th minute, when connorjennings pulled a goal back. it was initally disallowed for offside but var overturned that decision. and paul mullin completed the comeback from the penalty spot in the final minutes of the
6:37 pm
game. 3-0 3—0 down against any team, and we upset coming back. but today was a special moment to get the replay on tuesday— wednesday night. the momentum in football is massive, and we use that to our advantage. i thought we could go on and win it, but obviously they kept the ball a bit better and realised what they would happen. they were good side, so would happen. they were good side, so it was tough to get off them. elsewhere in the fa cup, championship side sheffield wednesday knocked out premier league opposition. they beat brighton i—0 at the amex stadium — adam reach‘s deflected free kick was enough to put garry monk's side into round four. almost an upset for carlisle united, who are really struggling in league two, but were leading cardiff city 2—0 at half time. harry mckirdy getting their second. the championship side came back thanks to goals from callum paterson and this one from gavin whyte
6:38 pm
to force a 2—2 draw and a replay. brighton weren't the only premier league side to be knocked out. aston villa have also been eliminated — after losing 2—1 at championship side fulham. harry arter with the winner. hull are into the fourth round, after a dramatic late winner. tom eaves completing his hat—trick in stoppage time to snatch a 3—2 win at league one side rotherham — who played over an hour with ten men. league one shrewsbury town earned a replay with championship side bristol city after a 1—1 draw, thanks to sean goss‘ second—half equaliser. you can find all the goals and rest of the results on the bbc sport website and app. five games kicked off at 5.31pm. holders manchester city are hosting league two side port vale
6:39 pm
it's 2—1 at the etihad. tom pope heading home to equalise for lower league side but sergio aguero has restored the lead for city. second in the premier league, leicester are 2—0 with 2018 winners wigan, wolves beat manchester united in the quarterfinals of last seasons cup — it's 0—0 there. i have my eye on that one at the moment. england's bowlers came to the rescue again, leading the fightback on day two of the second test in cape town. having been bowled out for 269, james anderson and stuart broad took five wickets between them, while ben stokes produced some specatuclar catches as south africa were reduced to 215 for eight at the close of play. in cape town, a beautiful warm day, watching on, english knights were heating up too. into battle once more, jimmy anderson, but after yesterday's batting problems, today's opening stand was england's last. and anderson didn't, not for long anyway. all out for 269.
6:40 pm
now it may be one of the world's most picturesque grounds, but right then for england, things were not looking great. that was until stuart broad found the edge of peter milan's bat. the ball, the game suddenly moved quite some place. time then to get a grip of it. ben stokes and another brilliant catch from him. hamza, the latest batsman to wonder just how he does it. and while south africa was still working it out, stokes caught hold of another. england's day brighter by the moment. another player caught by an england hand, but wait. replay showed a no ball. south africa with the roar for the reprieve. the player along with dean elgar added more than 100. still, fortune remains fickle. and with stokes, england really are in great hands. here he finally got him. moments later, he caught dwayne pretorius as well. four catches, quite a day
6:41 pm
for him and for england. jimmy anderson striking with the final ball and the celebration really started. england's day for england's knights. adam wild, bbc news. a little earlier, i spoke to england cricketer kate cross to get her assesment of the days play. she says the bowlers deserve the credit for putting england back on top. i think as an england fan, i'm very happy, especially going into the start of the day. i think there was a lot of talk yesterday about being 100 short in the first inning. so i think when we saw that jimmy anderson wicket at the start of the day, we know the ball had a lot of work to do, a lot of hard work. but to be honest, i think they bowled exceptionally well today. there was a middle phase of the game where there is a big partnership that built between vander huson and elgar. so i think that it's actually a good day to be an england bowler, they worked really hard and got the awards. and i think england
6:42 pm
came out on top. how do you think don bowler did? how do you think don bowler did7|j how do you think don bowler did?|j think how do you think don bowler did?” think he's a bit of an unsung hero today. i can't member how many overs he bulled, but he held up one end and was going under two and over at one point, which i think is probably not the most glamourous of roles that he will play, but he allowed them to come full short spells of them to come full short spells of the other end and he created a lot of pressure because there was not much of going from his over. so i think he will be really pleased. like i said, he's the unsung hero, he's done a really good one, i thought. same old problems with the bat, the day started at 269, what you put their problems down to? we we re you put their problems down to? we were just having a discussion about this, and we were saying it will probably be a series of exceptional bowling, and maybe not as much of the great batting as we've seen in some good test series. but i think the biggest frustration as an england fan is seeing
6:43 pm
players start and not make big scores. and i think that's what england will have to reassess 110w that's what england will have to reassess now going into the second innings, how will they start scoring big on that pitch? would not seen particularly anyone do that easily, elgar might be the exception today. but that was a really hard ending democrat inning. the second inning will be key to this game. and another session we are talking about england's batsman and thurber the macro bowlers are covering things for them. there was talk about anderson being dropped before this, how well do you think they've a nswered how well do you think they've answered their critics? it is frightening to think that we are talking about dropping potentially two of england's greatest bowlers there've ever been. if you're potentially dropping jimmy anderson because he didn't take any wickets in the first match, then you see again sam curran coming in and he is change the game with that spell he bulled just before the new ball came on. for me, it goes to show
6:44 pm
that experience counts for a lot in test cricket, and the likes of james anderson and stuart broad, they've taken so many wickets between them that it taken so many wickets between them thatitis taken so many wickets between them that it is fascinating to think you could talk about dropping one of them. i think england will have to start preparing for when one of them may be retires, because we talk a lot aboutjimmy anderson getting towards the later end of his career. but i think they all bulled absolutely brilliant democrat today, you would never know the anderson was 37 with the spells he was bowling out there. kate cross speaking to sportsday earlier. kate is part of 5live's cricket social, which starts again on 5live sports extra and via the bbc website at 8.20am tomorrow morning for what should be a fascinating thir day of the second test. marnus labuschagne's incredible form for australia continued, as he scored his first double century in test cricket on day two of the third test against new zealand in sydney. labaschagne was at the crease for more than eight hours, making 215, to drive australia to a54 all out. the tourists were 63
6:45 pm
without loss at the close but australia are already 2—0 up in the three—match series. still to come on sportsday: we meet the man known as the king of ink. idoa lot of i do a lot of people, man. lebron james, lewis hamilton. he must be pretty good. i tattoo everybody. looking forward to that one. gloucester are up to third in rugby union's premiership thanks to a superb second half against bath. it finished 29—15 at kingsholm, giving the cherry and whites their biggest win over their arch—rivals for nine years. lydia campbell reports. with just one win in five matches, gloucester‘s title bid has faded in recent weeks. and maybe a result against age—old rivals bath could spark their season back into life. and an early try helped
6:46 pm
the mood at cape horn. jason woodward getting over the line. but the defensive errors started to stack up for the home side, and rhys priestland was able to kick bath into a narrow lead at the brick. gloucester started the second half how they started the first. this time, freddy clarkjust about bundling over for his side's second triumph game. and that seemed to stir them into action. jake made a thunderous run to the line, and was just held up, but he was able to add the finish. the bowlers point tribe scored shortly after, ruan ackerman getting over the line using sheer brute force. and that was enough to hand gloucester a much—needed win in a tense west country derby. lydia campbell, bbc news. elsewhere, a big win for second from bottom leicester tigers they beat bristol 31 points to 18. saracens — who are of course were deducted 35 points — are chasing leicester.
6:47 pm
they hammered worcester warriors 62—5. they have won six of the eight games so far this season are on —7. glasgow warriors ran in six tries to see off benetton in an enthralling contest. george horne touched down twice, as the warriors won by 38—19 to stay in touch of the pro14 play—off places. there were also wins for dragons and zebre. let's have a quick look at some of the days other sports stories... despite a lack of sponsor and reduced prize money, the bdo world darts championships is under way at it's new home of the indigo at the 02, the first time it has been held away from lakeside since 1986. and amongst the winners on day one was chris landman who beat the number four seed, dave pa rletti. the world number one, rafael nadal, got his year off to the perfect start by winning spain's opening match of the atp cup
6:48 pm
against georgia. novak djokovic was also a winner as he beat south africa's kevin anderson to seal victory for serbia. and real madrid have gone back to the top of la liga after a 3—0 win over getafe. rafael varane and luka modric amongst the scorers. barcelona will have the chance to reclaim top spot if they beat city rivals espa nyol later this evening. the british snowboard and freeski championships, otherwise known as the "brits" take place in switzerland later this year. it's an event where disabled and able—bodied athletes compete side by side. ski sunday'sjennyjones has been to meet darren swift, a double—amputee snowboarder who's taking part in the event. i lost my legs in 1991 in northern ireland. i was blown up by a terrorist device. i lost both legs,
6:49 pm
two fingers on my right hand, and a big entry on my right arm. it was 18 months, from the day i was blown up to the day i discharged from the army. when i was in rehab, the one thing i wanted was independence. i wa nted thing i wanted was independence. i wanted to do things for myself. so i started travelling around the world on my own in a wheelchair. during that time, i got myself into adventures. my first one it was a couple river expeditions, that was cracking. then i hand cycled across island democrat iceland. what got you into snowboarding?” island democrat iceland. what got you into snowboarding? i did sit skiing for a few years. i looked up and there were three young lads coming down on snowboards. and i just thought, "that's what i want to do. i want to do that, i want to be a snowboarder." there were plenty of people telling me i couldn't snowboard, i have to have knees and i couldn't do it without it. but i was with a friend of mine, who is a designer by trade, and we drew on the back of a beer mat how i might affix myself to a board. we sat in
6:50 pm
the workshop and set the stuff up. show us that some this is the board. and the bindings. standard board simulate this here is a safety strap i put simulate this here is a safety strap iput on, simulate this here is a safety strap i put on, i've gotten into the habit of putting these on because these have failed on some of the tiger turns. this is a kitchen chopping board, because i've got five boards at home that have snapped a. so if you took to snowboarding like a fish to water, and it merely fell in love with the sport, despite the practical difficulties he faces every day he goes on the mountain. you're ina every day he goes on the mountain. you're in a snowy environment so that makes it difficult for everyone. but if you use a wheelchair or anything, it can double upa wheelchair or anything, it can double up a bit. if the seated lift is too high, then i'll get them to slow it down so i can flip myself around. in the early days when i first started, the lift operators in europe were horrendous. you weren't allowed on if you couldn't get on a lift while it was moving, you weren't going on. they were quite nasty about it. but there's been a sea change and it's completely
6:51 pm
different now. this is my third time at the brits. i was fantastic to get back in. writing with able—bodied people who have no definition was just right. you can watch the full interview with darren on ski sunday tomorrow. bbc two at 6pm. it is also available on the bbc iplayer. the nfl playoffs start this evening. reigning champions the new england patriots host the tennessee titans as they aim to be the first team to win seven super bowls. tom brady's been their quarter back in all six of their championship wins. but at 42 and struggling with an elbow injury — there's some suggestion this could the be his last season in boston, so could this be his last game in a patriotsjersey? i hadn't thought about those things, andi i hadn't thought about those things, and i wouldn't be thinking about those things anyway. you know, it's
6:52 pm
felt like a normal week for me, so i just approach practice like i always have and try to do the best i can do. so that's what i'll do this weekend, as well. there is nothing in the past that matters to me, i think knowing what to expect can be helpful if you use the experience wisely. but it won't help me com plete wisely. but it won't help me complete a pass this weekend. got knee tap to his? not yet, but the night is young. —— got any tattoos? he's the man behind some of the most eye—catching tattoos in sport, earning him the nickname the king of ink. bang bang is a tatttoo artist based in new york and counts some of the world's biggest sports stars and celebrities as his clients. he's been telling us his story. laughter. the element you know what i'm talking about? i do a lot of people, man. i must be pretty good. odell beckham junior is always
6:53 pm
hitting me for tattoos. i speak to him almost weekly. at first he started on the cover on his back, it's like a plane of the apes theme, a district of new york city. i've done a bunch of things with his hands and neck, and we have a matching tattoo. it's this goat on my thumb. he said he needed that. you don't just meet my thumb. he said he needed that. you don'tjust meet lebron, you meet one of lebron‘s guys. then you meet another one of his guys, and you hear lebron wants to meet you. then you oblige. i got a phone call on sunday night at 8pm that lebron wa nts to sunday night at 8pm that lebron wants to get tattooed at tomorrow at clevela nd. wants to get tattooed at tomorrow at cleveland. when lebron says he wants you to go to work, you get your stuff together and you go to work. i got to sit down and eat with his family, we had chicken, rice and broccoli. the chef was in hot water. idida broccoli. the chef was in hot water. i did a tattoo of his daughter, and lebron loved it. i'll never forget something his mum told me, she said "you're the greatest at what you do, and my son is the greatest of what he does." it felt like the greatest government i ever
6:54 pm
got. the first timei government i ever got. the first time i met him, i had no idea who he was also became intimate tattoo studio and i didn't know that i was speaking to one of the greatest athletes who ever lived. he wanted something for new york and his son. we spent three days together, tattooing all day long. 0ne we spent three days together, tattooing all day long. one of the toughest people ever met, he never flinched. he's one of my best friends, he's been there for me when i needed help navigating. it's a of a relief to him to be friends with him because i know nothing about football. i tattooed lewis hamilton, i think you just dm to me. we struggled with the design process, he knows what he wants to do. i don't make sandwiches at subway, i make bang bang tattoos. if i don't think so they will be great, we won't do it. we spent lots of time sculpting the idea, scrapping some of his ideas to make sure that what he gets is really unique to himself. a professional race car driver will not have tonnes of experience designing great tattoos, but i do.
6:55 pm
so now we are good, we made a couple of cool ones that he's really happy with, and i spoke to him just recently and he wants more. there's plenty of tattoo artist who tattoo celebrities, i'm just the one they keep coming back to. that's just meant the world to my career. everyone and there is super cool. let's go back to the fa cup now and tomorrow it's the meryseyside derby at anfield. carlo ancelotti's arrival at goodison park has given everton a renewed sense of confidence, and one man in particuclar seems to have benifitted more than others. striker dominic calvert lewin has scored three times since the italian‘s arrival. for me as a young player, you can't really ask for anyone better to be in charge. he's worked at some of the biggest clubs in the world and work with some of the best players and best drivers in the world. so for me it's an unbelievable learning experience at the stage in my career. and to have the stage in my career. and to have the backing of him like i have done so the backing of him like i have done so far, it fills me with a lot of confidence going onto the pitch. as you can see in my current form, i've
6:56 pm
hit the back of the neck, so i like to think that's helped. dashed back of the net. you can watch sunday's merseyside derby between liverpool and everton at anfield live on bbc one kick off at a:01pm. and on monday, arsenal against leeds united is live on bbc one — kick off at the emirates is 7.56pm. if you're wondering about the one minute past timing, is by a campaign by the fa cup, the fa cup and its president, prince william, are encouraging fans to take a minute to consider mental health. that certainly has gotten people talking this weekend. and don't forget to catch all the goals from today's fixtures on the bbc website and app. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more at 7.30pm. i'm off to think about what tattoo i want. until then, goodbye.
6:57 pm
good evening too. some of you had a lovely su nset good evening too. some of you had a lovely sunset this evening, fairly cloudy to finish or saturday. but overall, not a bad start of the weekend. winds will pick up over the next few days, and as for tomorrow, we almost do it all over again. fair bits of cloud across the country, but we also notice it is that bit breezy or as well, picking up even more next week. far north of scotland, outbreaks of rain pushing its way eastwards. i bring you some milderairto its way eastwards. i bring you some milder air to shetland with temperatures at 3—4dc all afternoon, probably warmer tonight than it has been today. clear skies across eastern scotland, a touch of frost into the democrat sunday. could be thick enough for the odd light, the wind continues to freshen. as i said, breezy or elsewhere with brea ks said, breezy or elsewhere with breaks in the cloud, northeast scotla nd breaks in the cloud, northeast scotland most favoured, but also
6:58 pm
across parts of eastern wales into central and parts of southern england. for all temperatures, a democrat up of a few degrees and we saw this afternoon. the heavy rain in northern scotland easy way for a time, but the winds pick up even more towards the west, and there will be showered through the night across many western districts. but it will not be quite as chilly as of the past few nights, and scotland and northern ireland, temperatures holding up an 8—10dc to take us into the new week. fieryjet stream of head in the atlantic, subsequent areas of low pressure, one after the other pushing across the uk. 0ne across iceland on monday, these weather fronts pushing eastwards with heavy rain. pushing and across whales and western parts of england, the further east you are, you get away with a try monday with a bit of sunshine at times, even if it is a bit hazy. temperatures still in the double figures for many, milder air coming in on tuesday, but with it and even more potent area of low pressure pushing towards iceland and
6:59 pm
strong gill forces, if not severe gale forces across the the uk with it. some showers across england and wales with sunshine and the east, but just note wales with sunshine and the east, butjust note some of the wind gusts. widespread gales, could see 60-80 gusts. widespread gales, could see 60—80 mph gusts across the north and west of scotland. but it will be quite a warm wind, 50 celsius and northern ireland, and not far off that as well in parts of northeast wales, too. 0verall next week, we start with some windy weather with rain and gales across the country, though milder conditions there as well. turning dry and cool by the end of the week. that's a look and i'll have more for you throughout the night.
