to act —— the raining champions. we can speak mentor sports news reporter laura scott, joins us now. first of all, we understand the players were told this yesterday that this was going to happen? there dues into reports they would told first. we note they were called to a meeting at their training ground before a captains run yesterday and so before a captains run yesterday and so it seems, yes, they were told. we did not hear anything yesterday. i understand there were conversations with the chairman of saracens. we only had that confirmation now. with the chairman of saracens. we only had that confirmation nowm is unprecedented, isn't it, laura? but from your —— premiership rugby were always going to keep an eye on them with the huge fines. absolutely. i thing the huge fines. absolutely. i thing the strength of their squad was

a lwa ys the strength of their squad was always going to raise questions with their squad this season. if they we re their squad this season. if they were preaching it last season, we need to look closely at this squad because it is not any weaker. if anything it is stronger than last season anything it is stronger than last season with the additions. yes, very firm that they would scrutinise this season's squad, and it seems that they were unable to prove that they we re they were unable to prove that they were able to operate within the cap this season. it is a huge blow for them. extraordinary results here. it's hard to believe that they won't be in the premiership next season. laura, what was the motivation for the season? assumedly they got to fulfil their fixtures but it is going to be difficult for the players. exactly. premiership rugby have confirmed in their statement a will have to fulfil their remaining

fixtures. what is the motivation? they know their fate is sealed. there's nothing they conduce —— can do to survive. you would expect their full focus will be on europe because their early chance of silverware this season is to win the champions cup, but in the premiership, it will be a very odd situation for fans and for the players to know what really they are turning out for. laura scott, sports news reports are, many thanks indeed. the news there that from your —— premiership rugby have confirmed saracens will be relegated. more reaction to that later in the programme. certainly will do on bbc news throughout the evening. right, to the cricket. england had a frustrating third

day of the third test against south africa. somerset spinner dom bess enjoyed himself with a maiden five—wickets, before rain wiped out the afternoon session in port elizabeth. south africa reached 208—6 by the close, but still 291 runs behind england's first innings. patrick gearey reports. every morning at every ground england play at, theirfans sing jerusalem, in hope, not always in confidence, but this time there was belief. here's why. .. commentator: it's a top catch! dean elgar expertly caught by ollie pope off the bowling of dom bess. pope's skill could only be fully appreciated on the replay. even by those with the best view. south africa's captain faf du plessis was next to fail the bess test, again caught by pope. england's spinner was only brought on this tour because of sickness in the camp, yet when he removed van der dussen, he had taken all five south african wickets. england still nearly 400 runs ahead. only the weather gave south africa sanctuary, rain ruining the afternoon session. it was still murky when they returned.

perhaps the reason for this strange incident. ben stokes dropping a catch. where was the kryptonite? not long later, cape back on, he was bowling, and dismissing nortje, who had been sent in last night to block. his concentration finally broken. but it was the man stokes had missed who had become the problem. quinton de kock made his way to 50, this would be his lucky day. having been dropped by england's best fielder once already, it happened again, and, unbelievably, again. stokes stunned, the batsmen survived. with the forecast iffy and time getting shorter, england are now up against the weather and de kock. patrick gearey, bbc news. let's hear from england's let's hearfrom england's standout player after that five wicket hall. still spinning. take that new ball into account. the inconsistency is going to get more. it's spinning, bouncing, so i think we are in a real good position.

hopefully the weather holds up because i needed to be a cracking two more days. dom bess there. i spoke to former england test batsman jonathan trott about england's chances from here and also that dom bess five—wicket haul. real good in the way that he backed up real good in the way that he backed up yesterday's performance but also the performance in cape town as well. unlucky to not have a few more. where is this match now? really for trading thursday because the afternoon session was wiped out? —— frustrating third day. the afternoon session was wiped out? -- frustrating third day. whether go over it was to bat again, the weather, and the day off for day five, knebel played a huge part in his decision and if you can have the opportunity to make south africa follow—up. opportunity to make south africa follow-up. quinton de kock is leaving a very charmed life there, dropped three times. england have

got to get them out quickly tomorrow. absolutely. and he's a dangerous player. he can get south africa close to that. it was amazing, we saw that yesterday. but if it has a player he has been. i'm sure tomorrow, he will be, ben stokes, chomping at the bit you could the ball in his hand. it days like this that she appear cap to try something a little bit different. is there a suggestion —— when you look to your captain. as much as he can with regard to injury, that sort of stuff, his knee and if you niggles, perhaps. we can only speculate here in the press or the media, if you like, but one thing you know about ben stokes. he will bowl as much as he can. if he can bowl the amount of

over say little lake him to. who was your money on shallow definitely england. —— who is your money on? definitely england. we've had eight results in the premier league. steve bruce... the newcastle and chelsea, this has been a season defined so far by differing degrees of inconsistency. newcastle on much of inconsistency. newcastle on much of their ups of inconsistency. newcastle on much of theirups and of inconsistency. newcastle on much of their ups and downs to injuries. ten minutes into the lesson they wa nted ten minutes into the lesson they wanted happen. the latest of the injuries. with steve bruce nero was for others to stand up. the crossbar providing the insult to go with that injury. the second half, newcastle for attrition may have grown even

further. —— frustration might have grown. tim abraham can even closer —— tammy abraham. nothing is ever predictable. three minutes of injury time stub isaac hayden doing what no one else had managed all afternoon. stjames one else had managed all afternoon. st james park collected. one else had managed all afternoon. stjames park collected. the one else had managed all afternoon. st james park collected. the latest update winners. adam wilde, bbc news. goals everywhere apart from vicarage road — that was the lunchtime kick—off between watford and tottenham. watford had a penalty saved, but it's another useful point for them as they look to pull further away from the relegation zone. rob heath reports. another win. 3—0. no problem. cocky but maybe with good reason. four wins in six — unbeaten since the middle of last month. under nigel pearson, watford have experienced a leap

rather than just the usual bounce associated with a new manager. for most of the first half, this match did not get off the ground, as flat as the battery in the referee's communication system. it took almost three minutes to sort this mess out. not all of that time was added on, more ammunition for the critics of var. spurs finally carved out a chance. without harry kane, others need to step up. lucas moura could not. watford livened up after the break. that was watford's head in hands moment. now tottenham's. jan vertonghen handball. no var required here. troy deeney usually goes to the left. paulo gazzaniga dived to his right. still 0-0. injuries and the uncertainty over christian eriksen's future have prompted spurs to acquire 21—year—old gedson fernandes from benfica. he had time.

nearly the move to snatch the match. only millimetres in it. the jury may still be out on aspects of var. but the goal decision system, by general consensus, seems to make sense. rob heath, bbc news. i don't want to make your mood worse but have you seen how close you were to waiting in injury time? yeah. because i love the goal line technology because it is always right. by one inch, two inches, it is always right. i respect the goal line technology. he was clear there, was he not? i did not respect it. there is more consequences if he does not respected. drama in the rest of the premier league matches today. austin halewood has more and, austin, a tense end to the defending champions' match. tenseis tense is the right word for that. the busiest premier league saturday of the year so far. six 3pm kick—offs. but we're going to start

off at the etihad. you might remember how crystal palace were the only team to beat manchester city at home in the league last season. and they continue to be a thorn in their side — a dramatic 2—2 draw at the etihad today. the first half was all—city but palace were the first to score. cenk tosun, on loan from everton, with a header on his debut. city were then awarded a penalty for a handball — but it was ruled out by var. finally, they made the breakthrough. two goals from — guess who — sergio aguero to take the lead. the win looked to be sealed until a late cross from wilfried zaha was turned into the city net by fernandinho. so, once again, palace enjoy their trip to the etihad. their good form continues — they've only lost one of their last ten. as for city, they missed the chance to make some ground up on leaders liverpool. a disappointing result for pep guardiola — particularly on his birthday. it was a tight game. we did

everything. unfortunately, we could not win. unfortunately, the late goal determine the game. now, what a game we had at st mary's — probably the best of the day — as wolves came from behind to beat southampton 3—2. now, the saints have been in great form of late — and that continued with an early goalfrom jan bednarek, and then this second from shane long. but then wolves turned it on after the break. the break is where it came. pedro neto with a brilliant solo goal first, followed by a penalty from rauljiminez. and then the comeback was complete after a brilliant break from adoma traore, beforejiminez got a brilliant second. now, wolves started their season way back injune with europa league qualifiers. this was their 39th game of the season already — more than anyone else. some said they were looking a bit tired recently, but that comeback has

put that to bed. i think the reaction was good. this is what it's all about, reacting, knowing what's wrong in the game. and the boys did well. i very proud of them because it's been tough. it's been very tough. it's been very demanding and the characters incredible. now, sheffield united's brilliant first season back in the premier league continued with a draw away at arsenal. the gunners looked like they were heading for the win after a really good opening team goalfinished by gabriel martinelli. and the arsenal captain pierre—emerick aubamayang thinks he'll have a big future in the game, but the fact aubamayang was tweeting that during the match was the problem for arsenal. their top scorer suspended and in the stands. in a brilliant equaliser to share the points. so arsenal sit tenth — still four points behind sheffield united in seventh.

now, i just want to tell you about one more match — involving this man, eddie howe. with nine defeats in their last 11, bournemouth needed a win over norwich, but it didn't come — they lost 1—0 away at carrow road. and from the start, it never really went to plan. now, bournemouth made a brilliant save to stop a goal in the first half. unfortunately, though, it was from their centre—back steve cook. a full out—stretched save to tip the ball over the bar. you have to see it on match of the day tonight — but, rightly, he was shown a red card. and teemu pukki scored the resulting penalty. and that's all norwich needed to close the gap on bournemouth. we can look at the rest of that day positive results here, just three others to tell you about. we've already heard about the late game, newcastle with that late winter. a draw between brighton and aston villa and another one between west ham and everton.

at the top now, liverpool 13 points ahead with two games in hand — and then at the bottom, norge's big when confirmed. —— norwich's big when confirmed. a really big win for them, only their fourth of the season. celtic at firhill against partick thistle. a bad clearance from the hosts gave leigh griffith his first goal since august. they got a lead penalty but it was not enough —— a late penalty. in the other games,

championship side ayr united knocked out top—flight side ross county with a 1—0 win. aberdeen beat dumbarton but only after an 86th minute penalty. daniel stendel got his first win as hearts manager as his side comfortably beat league one's airdrie 5—0. and six assists from chris burke gave kilmarnock 6 goals against queen's park. dundee are currently playing motherwell. motherwell i—o. all the rest of the results are on the bbc sport website. that's all the football. still to come. we're at the winter youth olympic games, meeting a 17 year old with high hopes, and a famous admirer. eddie the eagle here. i havejust heard mani cooper is taking part...

they had a slow start, and were trailing at half time, but northampton saints recovered to get a bonus point win over lyon in france — meaning they can still qualify for the european champions cup quarter—finals. lyon led by 12 points at the break before a storming second half saw saints win 36—24, although they do still need other results to go their way if they're to reach the knockout stage. craig templeton reports. a colourful setting, but the reality for northampton saints was rather more black—and—white — either beat lyon or their hopes of making a first quarterfinals since 2016 would be over. after a cagey start, saints took advantage of a lyon yellow card as mike haywood mauled his way to the opening try. with the extra man, they should have capitalised further, but lyon scored twice — the quick thinking of liam gill giving them a healthy lead. saints were starting to eat away at that lead, though. first, a try of attrition and then cobus reinach with a try of beauty. you might not be able to see him yet, but he is coming. and at pace. he re—gives saints the lead.

lyon responded immediately, but saints were not done yet. furbank finding the gap for a bonus point that could be so vital. there was still room for one more. saints' first win in france in nine years and their quarterfinal chances are still alive. craig templeton, bbc news. ulster are through to the quarters. they beat bath 22—15. full back will addison went over for the last of their three tries. bath have lost all six of their pool matches. some of the results to bring you. exeter chiefs ladder shall 33—14. glasgow warriors with a comfortable win over sale sharks. ali carter has continued his dream run at the masters snooker — he's into the final for the first time after beating shaun murphy 6 frames to three.

the ao—year—old took his opportunity to close out the match in the ninth frame with a break of 97. carter, twice a world championship finallist, was only invited to play when ronnie o'sullivan decided to give the tounament a miss this year. there will be a new name on the trophy this year. carter is eager to face dave gilbert or stuart bingham in tomorrow's semifinal. you can follow this live on bbc two or to the bbc sport website. bingham, two frames out. you can see he is world champion in 2016. bingham has made a strong start. it's been an extraordinary day for 16—year—old mani cooper at the winter youth olympic games in lausanne. she's the first british woman to compete in an olympic nordic combined event. that involves two completely different sports — cross—country skiing and skijumping. our reporter nick hope spoke

to her before she competed. they leap from 70 to 90 metre hills, reach speeds of over 60 miles an hour and reach speeds of over 60 miles an hourand can reach speeds of over 60 miles an hour and can travel over 100 metres before landing. this thrill—seeking, then there's ski jumping. in 16—year—old mani cooper is the first british woman to ever attempt it as an olympics. it is quite scary. you havejumps an olympics. it is quite scary. you have jumps where it really lift you out and then you get the timing right, you get the air right, you get the positioning right and then they just have get the positioning right and then theyjust have a smile on your face. yes! but one sport is not enough for the kettering teenager, who took up nordic combined after moving to austria with her family in 2012. mining the two is very special. ski jumping, yet to be explosive. when you'rejumping jumping, yet to be explosive. when you're jumping out, you jumping, yet to be explosive. when you'rejumping out, you have to be concentrated as well. you need indifference, you need sprints, you need to have that pace so you can keep up. when you put yourself afterwards, you feel so good. yes!

think of ski jumping and you will think of eddie the eagle. the sport may have moved on but he's to fall as it closely and he had this little message for mani cooper ahead of her own historic ski jump stuff loop eddie the eagle here and i'vejust heard to the grapevine mani cooper is taking part in the nordic combined for great britain. i want tojust wish her the very, very best of luck. have fun and enjoy it! jump well, hope you do well. that's amazing! that's really cool. i did jump amazing! that's really cool. i did jump further than amazing! that's really cool. i did jumpfurtherthan him, amazing! that's really cool. i did jump further than him, though, on my home health. which is quite cool! he kind of put the sport on the map all those years back. how do you want to do that now, also for women in the

uk? getting kids to start nordic combined. i want it to get bigger and then i can get goals to go to the bigger competitions, and then the bigger competitions, and then the next olympics. nick hope, bbc news. i remember watching eddie the eagle. do you? no. what do you mean no? of course you didn't. too young. just to remind you of the top story, saracens, the reigning rugby union champions and european rugby union champions and european rugby union champion some of the will be relegated for continuing to fail to convey with those salary—cap regulations. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. thanks forjoining us. bye—bye.

hello there. high—pressure has brought change to our weather. part one of the week and wasn't sunny but cold for many of us. it should be largely dry. here it is, this high pressure. strong winds. should be a drier night for the northern isles but a cold one across the board. temperatures dipping well below freezing come in towns and cities and a hard frost expected out in rural places. it's going to be a cold start to sunday underneath this area of high pressure, but light winds continued. more isobars as the weather front flirts with the northwest corner of the uk. did will be breezy and there will be some more cloud across the northwest of

scotland. perhaps even a future shower he bursts of rain for the northern isles. not so cold here. —— perhaps a few shower he breaks. in the south, it's going to be sunny.
