the weather looks on tuesday. the weather will improve in the south later but it will be blowing a gale pretty much all day long. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm chetan pathak. coming up on the programme: a five—wicket haul for james anderson, but it's not all smiles for england against pakistan on day three of the third test. the wait is nearly over for the 2020 champions league final as bayern munich prepare to face paris saint—germain. an extraordinary win for a player ranked outside the top 300 — sophia popov wins the women's open at royal troon. and dillian whyte's left hoping for a december rematch with alexander povetkin, after his

devastating knockout defeat. welcome to the programme. thank you for joining welcome to the programme. thank you forjoining us. england remain in charge of the third and final test against pakistan in southampton — but they haven't had it all their own way on day three. azhar ali passed 6,000 test runs on his way to a century to frustrate the hosts. and james anderson's had a few words for his team—mates too, after some farcical fielding kept him a couple of wickets away from 600 in test cricket. henry morean has been watching in southampton. a fifer in the end for anderson but that first pakistani innings could have been over a lot sooner?

what an extraordinary day, james anderson has to continue his weight for the 600th test wicket, there we re for the 600th test wicket, there were opportunities for england but they were missed. anderson got his 29th test five wicket haul, he got the final wicket of the innings to ensure england took a massive lead going into the second innings, and indeed having enforced the follow—on, so pakistan will bat again first thing tomorrow with a deficit of 310. anderson was frustrated, though. in the space of three overs, three of the worst drops you are likely to see in test cricket, rory burns, zak crawley and stuart broad all responsible and huge frustration as anderson sits on the cusp of history and that mark of 600 wickets. credit for azhar ali, 141 600 wickets. credit for azhar ali, 1111 not out, the sort of innings that we really encourage his team—mates that they can really perhaps survive tomorrow and with the forecast as it is on tuesday, get a draw from this match. azhar ali will open the batting tomorrow. he came out open when the follow—on was enforced by england and once the bad light was called, because he was

over the rope he has to come out again tomorrow and bat. england, ten wickets will see victory for them and for pakistan it's all about survival on the fourth day and hoping the weather forecast can help them on the fifth. i know you can hear me now, henry, although you didn't pop up on the screen behind me. that moment when the ball didn't land in the stuart broad's hands as it should have done and he went off injured. any more on that? we will wait to hear from the england injured. any more on that? we will wait to hearfrom the england camp, it was an extraordinary moment when stuart broad was involved in the run out, the dropped catch initially and then he threw the ball away in anger and hit the stumps and ran out the batsmen. that saw england take on the ninth wicket, but we will wait to see what the news is on stuart broad. he is a key component of this england bowling attack and with their aspirations of winning this test match and having to do so in relatively quick time because of the weather concerns, we will have to wait and see what the news is and whether he can bowl. england will be desperate to see him take the new ball alongsidejames desperate to see him take the new ball alongside james anderson tomorrow to see if they can get

some early breakthroughs. they certainly will. henry moeran in southampton, thank you. it was june last year when the preliminary round of the uefa champions league began, in around 20 minutes time the pandemic—delayed final — finally — gets under way as the german champions bayern munich take on the french champions paris saint—germain. with both teams looking to create history in lisbon. bayern chasing a european and domestic treble for a second time whilst psg are hoping to be crowned champions of europe for the first time. john murray is commentating for bbc radio 5live tonight and he joined me a short while ago. it's got all the ingredients for something of a classic, really, when you consider that psg have scored 136 goals this season and bayern have scored 158 in all competitions. however, when it comes to a final, it does not necessarily work out how you might expect. but i'd be surprised if it was 0—0.

you might expect. but i'd be surprised if it was 0-0. yes, famous last words, 0—0 and extra time to follow. there should be a lot of goals, we hope. psg, it is a huge night for them because this is the one trophy that they really want, that they covet more than any other. what do they need to do to get the job done against bayern munich? this isa big, job done against bayern munich? this is a big, big ambition of the whole project that they've got. they've got the two most expensive players in the world in neymar and killian mbappe, and plenty other talents as well or whether you look at angel di maria... and now they need them to deliver on the night. this is the first time under the qataris paris st—germain have gone beyond the quarterfinals but they are there in the final and they need the big players to step up to the mark tonight. what do bayern munich have tonight. what do bayern munich have to do? if anyone is a favourite in this final it would be them, most people say they are the best team in europe at the moment. do they need to do anything a bit different to deal with that psg threat up front tonight? i think for both of them, asi tonight? i think for both of them, as i have suggested, there is plenty of goal threat. but also, they

are both a little susceptible at the back, so what i'd expect would be for both of them, i hope this is the case as well, to be on the front foot and for it not to be cagey affairand foot and for it not to be cagey affair and from foot and for it not to be cagey affairand from a foot and for it not to be cagey affair and from a bayern point of view they want to replicate something like they did against barcelona in the quarterfinal. and if you have that approach from both of them, ie, the art we will score more goals than you do, then that's why it could be something really special. john murray speaking to me earlier. hibernian scored an injury—time winner to beat stjohnstone in the scottish premiership. it looked like the game was heading for a goalless draw but stevie mullan scored from the penalty spot to claim the win. hibs are now tied on points with rangers but are second on goal difference. she's ranked 30a in the world, hadn't won on the lpga or ladies tour before this week and nearly quit playing last year. tonight, sophia popov is a major

winner after pulling off a huge shock at the women's open at royal troon in scotland. the 27—year—old from germany shot a three—under 68 to finish on seven—under, winning by two shots. the bbc‘s golf correspondent ian carter called it an incredible end to the first women's major of the year. extraordinary story, she very nearly made her way onto the lpga tour at qualifying school but actually missed out by a single shot. at one stage she was caddying for her friend anne van dam and bit by bit she clawed her way into this field, managed because of the covid situation to get into a tournament in the united states, the marathon a couple of weeks ago, and finished top ten there. that gave her a place in the field here. she came here after playing on the sue minter tour the week before, had one practice round, was 100—1 outsider, ranked 304 in round, was 100—1 outsider, ranked 30a in the world, yet played like a seasoned champion. her round started with a bogey and finished with a

bogey but neither mattered because in between it was sheer excellence with five birdies, crucially at the 15th and 16th to hold the field at bay. she ultimately won by two shots coming in with a closing round of 68. the tears were flowing before she tapped in for the winning putt. it was a brilliant performance. how brilliant of the organisers to get this first major tournament of the year played. they will be thrilled, bearing in mind it was played on time as well, no need for any rescheduling. it was a big decision. it was only a month or so ago that confirmation came that they would be able to play here at royal troon. the rn date put on a fantastic show here, and it did feel like a big—time golf tournament despite the absence of spectators and it gives real impetus to the women's game 110w. real impetus to the women's game now. we only have a couple of weeks until the next major in california at the ana inspiration, and as i say

they will go there with great momentum, a great story here, fairy tale winner, but also some wonderful performances in very testing conditions. i think the week has been a huge success. great story there. —— r&a. dillian whyte says he's hopeful of a rematch after his dream of a world title shot was wrecked by alexander povetkin last night. the russian twice rose from the canvas to land a sensational knockout win, leaving whyte no closer to challenging for the wbc world heavyweight title. alex gulrajani reports. it's the punch you don't see that will knock you out. the left hand of alexander povetkin, the tune of dillian whyte, split second that showed what heavyweight boxing is all about. this was supposed to be dillian whyte's night, his wait for a shot at the world title finally at an end if he was to beat povetkin. and after three tight opening round is dillian whyte made his move. the russian knocked down twice in

you can follow everything else on the bbc sport website, including tonight possible champions league final, but from me and the team, for now, thanks for watching and good night. and now on bbc news an interview with svetla na tikhanovskaya — after claiming a remarkable election victory over belarus' long serving dictactor alexander lukashenko, svetla na was forced to flee to lithuania to save her family. are you afraid? yes, iam. they can do anything, they can take my children to an orphanage or something

like this. we first met svetla na tikhanovskaya as she was preparing to run for president of belarus. taking on the country's long—standing dictator alexander lu kashenko. she did not want to be a politician but had agreed to stand in her husband's place after he was jailed. congratulations. thank you! i am not sure if i want this congratulation, you know. for this month, i became much stronger but i am still not ready for what is going to happen. what followed was enormous popularity. then a rigged election. widespread police brutality. and the biggest protests the country had ever seen. while lu kashenko declared himself victorious, tikhanovskaya was forced to flee the country.

as she emerges from hiding, we meet up with her again. this is her first interview in exile. so, it's fair to say that a lot has happened since we last met. yeah. how are you? i don't know, as a matter of fact, because... as i have already told you when we met last, i wanted to give up so often and it hasn't changed since — ijust can't step away now because i became like a symbol of freedom. i understand that i am not a leader. i cannot lead all my people behind me because i am more frightened than anybody else among them. but ijust cannot give up. you say that you are more

frightened than anybody else. why? what frightens you ? i think that this responsibility i have, i understand that they are waiting for something from me, they are waiting for some decisions, waiting for some speech from me and i am afraid that maybe i will not be able to do enough, or maybe i will make the wrong decision that will change history. you feel that you have the weight of history to come on your shoulders. it is not a fear for life, it is a fear of responsibility. in the last week, hundreds of thousands of people have come out onto the streets of

belarus.
