‘ best on the day. i think give our best on the day. i think the pressure would be more on wolfsburg as the top dog. in wolfsburg, they've won this competition twice before. the challenge is huge, but so is the incentive. it will become the first scottish in history to reach the semifinal of the women's champions league. the quarterfinal stage of this government for the club, with oui’ this government for the club, with our financial abilities, it's huge. to go one step further, would just be phenomenal. if glasgow city do upset the odds, they will be one of the greater shocks produced by scottish side. andy burke, bbc news, glasgow. time for a quick look at some of the other headlines tonight. just getting back to leeds united.

they've been charged by the fa because of the teams celebrations after clinching the championship title at derby. players lit flares pitchside. the club have until september 3rd to respond to the charge. britain's adam yates is targeting stage wins rather than overall victory at this year's tour de france. he's been selected in the michelton—scott team for the race, which gets under way at the end of the month. the the 1000 guinees and epsom 0aks winner love has claimed the yorkshire oaks at the ebor festival. ridden by ryan moore and trained by aiden o'brien, the strong favourite won by four lengths at york. we saw on yesterday's sportsday how cricket might evolve to battle against bad light and weather. well, it's been confirmed start times between england and pakistan will be flexible to make up for lost play, with action potentially getting underway 30 minutes earlier. the final test begins tomorrow with england i—nil up in the series. with this now in place, it gives the officials and the players a bit more opportunity to try and stay out there longer and to get more cricket

on, which is what everyone wants. we wa nt to on, which is what everyone wants. we want to get out there playing and we don't want to miss time through bad light if we can avoid it. but see how it works this week and see if it's something that's here to stay. if not, expect the best. the game itself, we are with it because we want to make... be part of the test match. the best chance to be played, and they have taken us in the confidence as well. let's get more from a currently sunny ageas bowl and our cricket correspondent jonathan agnew. he spoke to me earlier about the possibility of earlier start times at the test. i'm all for the 1030. for me, it could be ten o'clock if necessary to avoid any repeat of what happened the other day. whatever works in the future when there are crowds remains

to be seen. my only rarely really is that people who have tickets for an 11 11 o'clock start that people who have tickets for an 1111 o'clock start —— my only worry really. it will be decided until the night before. if you are going to a cricket match in the future in which these new regulations will be in place, you just have to have your wits about you a bit. in the state of play at least, i suppose on the positive side because of all the bad weather in the second test, there's something writing on this one? very much so. neither side could win this match. that's what's really interesting —— either side could win. that second one was watch out. the grounds, it's lovely now but yes, it was horrendous. the grounds, is probably a day behind its preparation. in the spirit of what

we talked about with the bad lighting and whether, if things aren't perfect, it doesn't really matter. this is about getting cricket played in these very strange, alien circumstances. so if things aren't absolutely perfect, so be it. the world's top athletes are heading to sweden and the latest diamond league meeting in stockholm on sunday. max burgin isn't in the elite category yet, but the 18—year—old from yorkshire, will be lining up in the 800 metres after posting the second fastsest time in the world. second fastest time in the world. he'll come up against the fastest man this season donavan brazier. burgin has set numerous age—group records over the past few years, but this will be a big step up. i spoke to him earlier. i'm looking forward to it. i think it will be a good opportunity to start racing at a higher competitive level than i've done before. give it

a better go than i did last year in birmingham. i'm hoping to redeem myself a bit with a good run this weekend. you must be in a whole different place going into this one in stockholm. you're a year older. did you feel mentally tougher? definitely. i think i'm in a much better place this time around. i've been running faster, i haven't had the same issues i had last year, and as you say i'm a year older and more experienced. yeah, i'm looking forward to it. do you think you can give fraser a run for his money? it's just nice to be give fraser a run for his money? it'sjust nice to be in give fraser a run for his money? it's just nice to be in the same race as him. what's your kind of race as him. what's your kind of race head going to be like if you are shoulder to shoulder with this elite class field? from the front with not many people around me, it's not how it's all going to be. i need to get this sort of experience where these people around me, maybe i'm not on the front. are you a great

historian as you go back and look at the crowds, ? historian as you go back and look at the crowds,? i'm not completely ignorant of this during the event. but yeah, i've been tripped up a few times when people asked me about the past about... i had no idea what they're talking about. i have a few embarrassing moments. you've been iuggung embarrassing moments. you've been juggling studies and exams but obviously, that's all out the window, but you are lucky with this algorithm and you've got the grades you needed last week.|j algorithm and you've got the grades you needed last week. i got what i needed to get into the university i wa nted needed to get into the university i wanted to, so i can't complain, i suppose. maybe now that they've reversed the decision, i'm looking at grades being bumped up. history at grades being bumped up. history at uni fora yearto at grades being bumped up. history at uni for a year to concentrate at running. how far do you think you

can go in yourself? one scene at a time. trying to have a consistent progression as i mentioned earlier. ijust want progression as i mentioned earlier. i just want to continue to progress. good luck. we've seen how the pandemic has affected sports and athletes over the past five months. for british triathlete sophie coldwell, this will be the first season in 18 that she won't have raced. she told our reporter ben croucher about how she's been getting that competitive fix from e—sports. it was really weird because one part of me was like, it's literally a game and it means nothing. no one really cares whether, really it was just about working hard. the other pa rt of just about working hard. the other part of me was like, oh my god, this is do ordie. part of me was like, oh my god, this is do or die. but it was great to have something to focus on, and actually on a wednesday night, it's

race day. you have to talk about what you eat, what you do for warm up what you eat, what you do for warm up and recovery. it's always a very different, but having a race to focus on was really nice. tell us what 2020 has been like for you? fast what 2020 has been like for you? fa st forward what 2020 has been like for you? fast forward a few months of lockdown, and i think i've come to the realisation and exceptions that there will be no this year —— acceptance. be 0k there will be no this year —— acceptance. be ok that training can ta ke acceptance. be ok that training can take a step back and i can kind of tick along at 70—80% of training because realistically, iwon't tick along at 70—80% of training because realistically, i won't now race until march. being the kind of competitive animal that you are, you've raced since you are seven or eight years old, how have you found that lack of intense competition and

getting that buzz that you get out of bed for every morning during the winter at 5am? 2002 is the first year that i've raced. every year since that, i have raised. and it's like you can't forget how much that is part of your life. i don'tjust train to train, i trying to raise. as soon as you take that out, you sit there in question of how much you love the racing and that is what you love the racing and that is what you do it for. sophie caldwell speaking to ben crowder. —— crouch. and we end where we started, at royal troon, where the opening round of golf‘s women's open is nearly over. it's the biggest women's sporting tournament taking place in the uk this year, and i'm delighted to say our golf correspondent iain carterjoins us from there live. it makes for a very tight

leaderboard. it's it makes for a very tight leaderboa rd. it's probably it makes for a very tight leaderboard. it's probably change since i last looked at it. it has, in fact. we've had some serious showers to add to the heavy winds at royal troon. amy olson has managed to come through as the worst of the weather, i naturally brilliant round she has completed. she's three shots clear in an absolutely superb performance from her. a notable performance, marina alex, sophia popoff. i think the stand out performance has been katrina matthew. at the age of 50, a champion at this event back in 2009, she managed to put together a 71 today level power. she was absolutely delighted with that. she said she's had a very, very long time. georgia hall was impressive with her to overpour. —— over par.

briefly, we know there are couple of absentees there. high—profile one. has that detracted from this women's major? not in the slightest. i think we have enough of the world's best players. 144 players, 32 countries represented. this is a huge event andi represented. this is a huge event and i think the way that it's being conducted, the negotiations with the scottish government, all that's gone on to put this on, yes, there are a few who haven't made the journey but it's still a very international and strong field. many thanks indeed. live from royal troon. don't forget oui’ live from royal troon. don't forget our top story, the women's golf under way. the premier league fixtures as well. it's goodbye for 110w. hello there. thursday has been a day

of contrast with blue sky, sunshine and warmth for parts of eastern england. not a bad day as you can see quite clearly. further west, we started off on a stormy note with storm ellen passing through the republic of ireland. that continued to bring gusty winds unexposed coast and some frequent sharp, thundery downpours. the winds will continue to be a feature through tonight and into tomorrow. widespread gales expected across the whole of the uk, sunshine and showers as well. because of this low pressure that will move in from the west along the southern flank of the low, that is where we will see the strongest winds over the next few hours. gusts in excess of 60 to 70 miles an hour coupled with high spring tides and may lead to some localised coastal flooding. we start off tomorrow with some of those sharp showers, really quite potent moving up to the northern england and northern ireland into scotland. a trail of showers lingering in its wake. but it is the winds that are going to be the future. widespread gales across the uk. around 30 to 40 miles an hour

from scotland and northern ireland but across england and wales, inland we will see a winds in excess of 50 miles an hour, on exposed coast, 60 to 65 miles an hour. a few scattered showers but at the same time some dry, sunny spells and some of you will miss the showers. an odd feeling day, really. despite the strong winds, temperatures in the southeast will pick up to 25 degrees. a little bit fresher into the far northwest, 18 to 20. for the start of the weekend, the low pressure moves into scandinavia. the isobars open up. so the winds will slowly start to ease down. this weak weather front will enhance its into the northwest, slipping its way into the north northwest england in north wales by the afternoon.
