england have made as they try to get back into their series against the west indies. joe root in forjoe denly, and bowlers james anderson and mark wood rested, plus a possible return for stuart broad. a 13—man squad has been named, with the team yet to be picked. root, who missed the first test for the birth of his second child, spoke with our cricket corresondent jonathan agnew. it was a week that i would never have got back if i came back and played so in many ways it was lovely to be there and time without for the first time around, i had to fight india so to get that first week, i thought it was very special. i thought it was very special. i thought ben did a good job as captain. i'm through the back and working forge getting back out there. a unique situation for you watching the match and television. and pretty much on every ball which
6:31 pm
was quite strange and difficult in some ways. it is one of those strange situations that you sometimes find yourself in and work your way through. i am bound to ask your way through. i am bound to ask you about the decision about stuart broad and whether you were talking —— involved in making that decision, a big step to leave some doubt like that, was that something taken by people in the ground of the day? also actors were involved in it. it is obviously a very difficult call and you want ben to be very much in control of what is happening throughout the test match. one thing that i'm really excited about is when broad does get us opportunity to play again you can bet that he will be wanting to purvey point and thatis will be wanting to purvey point and that is exciting for england cricket and we are expecting him to come tearing into and taking many wickets. i think he will be fired up. have you got any idea at all?” cannot give you a team at the moment. one team i can at the moment
6:32 pm
is dennis will miss out for me coming out coming back in for the joe denly will be missing out. coming out coming back in for the joe denly will be missing out. and zach crawley looks pretty good. he played pretty well. and you wachovia is coming going about things the way keeps learning and developing and his attitude towards things is very impressive. jurco from bouncing a little baby underneath and facing some serious chin music are you looking forward to that? it is been a long time since playing, but i enjoyed training and to get back out there in the game is really exciting. i am shivering, i am freezing here! but hopefully it is a little bit warmer, a bit drier tomorrow and for the rest of the week because it very much looking forward to it. as long as it doesn't rain. our reporter henry moeran is inside the bio—bubble at old trafford. should we be surprised by any of the changes england have announced ? should we be surprised by these changes made by england? we knew one
6:33 pm
changes made by england? we knew one change was meant to be made withjoe root being captain returning to the side as you heard he missed the first test match because the birth ofa first test match because the birth of a second child. the question would be when he replaced zach crawley orjoe denly. with perhaps a look to the future, they went with sacra in the place of the 34—year—old joe macklin. perhaps the more surprising involvement is the change in bone department with james anderson and mark wood, i lancaster player, one end of this ground is named after him and will be disappointed not to point this test match. yet after memory this summer is so condensed with a six test matches and there will be some squad rotation. with the wendy's consider changing a winning team? we don't know that yet. jason holder spoke to us know that yet. jason holder spoke to us but he was like when you give us any details of the team. one thing
6:34 pm
that should be remembered is this is potentially a hugely historic occasion for west indies cricket. 32 yea rs occasion for west indies cricket. 32 years is how long it has been since they when a test series here in england. going back to the days of malcolm marshall, 1998 the lesson they won the series here in england so they won the series here in england so it could be that they elect rather than going for rotation that they would just go in for the strongest line—up to ensure that they can get the job done and create that history that we spoke about. this series is crating quite a lot of noise over in the caribbean as jason holder told us has been quite the reaction back home. their support means a lot to us. definitely we came over here under the circumstances, and to have the support from not only the prime ministers and the heads of government back in the caribbean, but for the people in the caribbean, it means a lot to us. there have been a lot of west indian fans who live here in england who would have been disappointed not being able to come and see the cricket first— hand, but they have been sending their love and messages as well to us all. again, it's a great start for us,
6:35 pm
but more or less we've got to knuckle back down and start again. no doubt about it if west indies can get the victory in this second test match and seal a series is when at the earliest opportunity what a success the earliest opportunity what a success story this tour would be for jason holder's site. you can follow this on the bbc, commentary from this on the bbc, commentary from this commentary box complete with the perspex screens and alcoholjoe wipes surrounding us in the bio bubble, that is on 55 sports at 10:25am, in play highlights on pvc sport that the day and then at 7pm, the team will be bring you full highlights of the day pass i play. all right, henry enjoy that. -- on bbc sport. it's far from over for bournemouth, who're in the relegation zone but fighting to get out. they had a great result against leicester at the weekend. tonight, they're playing last season's champions at the etihad — one of four games in the premier league. let's update you on discourse. it is

6:37 pm
austin halewood has more on this. yeah, a significant bit of news for the premier league and for all football around the world next season. so teams have been allowed to make five substitutions in a game since football restarted and that's set to stay in place now until the end of next season — now, it was brought in when football resumed injune to protect players from potential injuries given the number of matches they've been playing over such a condensed period. but to avoid causing too much of a delay to the game, teams will still only be able to make substitions at three different points in a game. and this latest announcement doesn't just include domestic competitions. next summer's reshceduled european championships could also allow five subs in a match. however, this is just a recommendation from fifa —
6:38 pm
they said in their statment today that the final decision remains with the organisers of each individual competition. and we have more equivocation on the tra nsfer and we have more equivocation on the transfer window dates, haven't we? —— clarification. we still don't yet know when the english football season will start but the teams do know now when they can start doing business. obviously the entire football calendar has had to be torn up. so the traditional transfer windows had to be changed. and it'll be open for ten weeks — between the 27th ofjuly and the 5th of october — but in addition to that, there's going to be a domestic—only window between the 5th and the 16th there's going to be a domestic—only window between the 5th and the 16th of october where premier league clubs can make deals with efl teams. but no transfers can take place between premier league only clubs in that period. now both of those are still subject
6:39 pm
to fifa approval, jane, but the picture for the start of next season looks a little bit clearer now. austin, think you very much for that. time for some of the other sports news stories making the headlines. manchester united forward marcus rashford will be given an honorary doctorate from the university of manchester, making him their youngest ever recipient. it follows his campaign to allow 1.3 million children to claim free school meals through the summer holidays. transfer news in the women's game and former england player natasha dowie has signed for ac milan, saying she was excited to be joining one of the biggest clubs in the world. arsenal's danielle carter and emma mitchell have bothjoined reading ahead of the new season. katie boutler has won her first match on the opening day of the progress tour women's tennis championships. boulter beat emily arbuthnot, 6—1, 6—3, at the national tennis centre in roehampton. she will play another two matches in the round—robin stage.
6:40 pm
former british and irish lions head coach ian mcgeechan says the tour of south africa will be outstanding after the announcement that it will go ahead earlier today. the lions will play three test matches against the world champions injuly and august, as well as five tour matches. i think had it not been made until later it becomes more complicated. i think at least now players, coaches, everything can be planned and i know they are looking at 30,000+ supporters wanting to be there. so, it all helps i think in the organisation for what should be an outstanding tour. and the support with four countries coming together is such a part of that whole atmosphere that is engendered when the lions go on tour. and i think it has made it a
6:41 pm
very special sporting event. manu tuilagi says he had always hoped to stay in england after leaving leicester tigers. he's signed for sale sharks which means he will continue to be available for eddiejones‘ side. he is keen and getting gametime after a long lay—off. he is keen and getting gametime after a long lay-off. it is a great opportunity for thanks to stephen and the club for allowing me to come here and carry on hopefully getting some game time here at sale, it is exciting times. nothing i have done before but that is life and why you look forward and enjoy it. isa is a superstar isa superstarand is a superstar and a world—class player, and he doesn't really need any guidance for me. what he just needs is the opportunity to play in an environment that is high competition which we have gotten burning ina competition which we have gotten burning in a world—class player like him which is already a highly rated
6:42 pm
group of players and only add to what we are doing. the star player of the us women's national basketball league is in a dispute with the authorities over her health. most valuable player elena delle donne, who plays for the defending champions washington mystics, has lyme disease and has been advised she's at high risk from contracting and having complications from covid—19. however, an independent panel of doctors for the league has said she's fine to play when the season starts later this month. there is a process in place where basically my team doctor wrote a note. she doesn't treat me for wind disease so she explained that and said please refer to my doctor has been treating me since 2011. that doctor provided tonnes of paperwork, tonnes of bloodwork just doctor provided tonnes of paperwork, tonnes of bloodworkjust kind of explaining all of my illness, the
6:43 pm
lyme disease, the convocations that come along with it, the immune problems that i have had and the letter just saying problems that i have had and the letterjust saying "she is very high risk and we do not feel safe having her go playing in this bubble." and we have not heard anything back and i'm just pretty confused about how the process has worked and what i'm even supposed to do now because i'm unable to appeal. so for people who perhaps don't know, can you explain some of the symptoms of lyme disease and also because we know that covid—19 is respiratory and attacks the respiratory system would that be an issue for you? so i think a lot of people are confused about lyme disease, there is not much information about it. a lot of people believe you get a ticket, you get the bull's—eye rash, you take some doxycycline and you are good to go. and for some people they are
6:44 pm
lucky enough that that occurs. for me, ifirst lucky enough that that occurs. for me, i first contracted lucky enough that that occurs. for me, ifirst contracted it in lucky enough that that occurs. for me, i first contracted it in 2008, lucky enough that that occurs. for me, ifirst contracted it in 2008, i tested positive and went on the doxycycli ne tested positive and went on the doxycycline and felt great and then in 2011, i got really, really sick again and doctors just could not figure out what was going on. and u nfortu nately for figure out what was going on. and unfortunately for me, it wasn't just blind disease that i contracted. it was several other co—infections including bartonella was several other co—infections including ba rtonella and was several other co—infections including bartonella and there are things that have destroyed my immune system. so for me, my body doesn't handle viruses and handle things like an average healthy body. so when covid came around and this whole situation happened with the wnba, in no way did i think this was going to a core where they redeem me not high risk. —— going to occur. you are the defending champion and are high as a shooting facade do you feel like you're making a decision between your career and your health?
6:45 pm
yeah, he feels that way. and this is going to be a tough decision and i don't want to drag it onto long. i don't want to drag it onto long. i don't want to distract my team—mates we re don't want to distract my team—mates were there competing right now in the bubble and getting themselves ready. i hope to make a decision quickly on how to move forward but i have been living in a body that fails me often health—wise. so not knowing much about covid it still being a very new virus and things changing nearly daily, it's something i'm certainly going to have to look at and make a decision. elena delle donne speaking to me earlier. tiger woods says there is no reason why he can't make pga tour history this week with a win at what will be his first competitive event since february. masters champion woods missed tournaments prior to golf‘s coronavirus shutdown in order to deal with back issues. the american goes into tomorrow's memorial tournament in ohio chasing an 83rd pga tour win, that would eclipse sam snead's
