not great for early 5—8. —— temperatures not great. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. coming up on the programme this evening... we'll look at how sport will be affected by today's budget. yes, we've been crunching the numbers, and we'll tell you how elite sport will benefit, the impact on your local sports facilities and the 2030 world cup bid. also coming up, england have to "embrace the challenge" in theirfinal test match against india, according to captainjoe root, but can they stop the wickets from tumbling in ahmedabad? and this year's rugby world cup is set to be postponed.

we ask if the women's game is paying a bigger price from the coronavirus fallout. hello, and welcome to sportsday. let's start with the news from today's budget and what exactly it all means for sports, team and facilities across the country. the chancellor has been talking about it today, of course. and much promise to kick—start the industry after the coronavirus caused problems to bottom lines all around. ben croucher is in the studio for us to guide us through them. he talked about the budget for over an hour and talked about support for maybe 15 minutes of it. an interesting list but not all relevant to sport. a lot of detail still to be fleshed out. let's give

you a idea of the what he said in the commons today. with my right honourable friend we are making available £740 million to support— are making available £740 million to surmort our— are making available £740 million to support our sport and culture and our institutions as they reopen and backing _ our institutions as they reopen and backing the joint 2030 world cup bid. and that was it... yeah, that's ri . ht. and that was it. .. yeah, that's right- now— and that was it... yeah, that's right. now fleshing _ and that was it... yeah, that's right. now fleshing out - and that was it... yeah, that's right. now fleshing out the - and that was it... yeah, that's - right. now fleshing out the detail. £300 million will support major spectator sports in england. that is cricket and football and horse racing. scotland, the wealth government and northern ireland have figures of their own and how it is our broken down we are not quite sure at this stage. joe route talking about cricket getting all of this investment but he says it should go to the top and the bottom.

a sentiment echoed by kent's ceo. it is part of a basket of measures and it_ it is part of a basket of measures and it is— it is part of a basket of measures and it is all— it is part of a basket of measures and it is all important— it is part of a basket of measures and it is all important to - it is part of a basket of measures and it is all important to the - it is part of a basket of measures. and it is all important to the game. as custodians — and it is all important to the game. as custodians of— and it is all important to the game. as custodians of the _ and it is all important to the game. as custodians of the professional . as custodians of the professional and amateur_ as custodians of the professional and amateur game, _ as custodians of the professional and amateur game, we - as custodians of the professional and amateur game, we want - as custodians of the professional and amateur game, we want to. as custodians of the professional. and amateur game, we want to see this year— and amateur game, we want to see this year as _ and amateur game, we want to see this year as a — and amateur game, we want to see this year as a euro— and amateur game, we want to see this year as a euro we _ and amateur game, we want to see this year as a euro we don't - and amateur game, we want to see this year as a euro we don't just - this year as a euro we don't just survive — this year as a euro we don't just survive but _ this year as a euro we don't just survive but we _ this year as a euro we don't just survive but we start _ this year as a euro we don't just survive but we start to - this year as a euro we don't just survive but we start to recover i this year as a euro we don't just i survive but we start to recover and revive _ survive but we start to recover and revive and — survive but we start to recover and revive and come _ survive but we start to recover and revive and come out _ survive but we start to recover and revive and come out of— survive but we start to recover and revive and come out of the - survive but we start to recover and revive and come out of the other. revive and come out of the other side of— revive and come out of the other side of the — revive and come out of the other side of the pandemic. _ so naturally any sport getting a handful of cash is welcoming it. here is the british horse racing association. this is part of the summer sport package. sport & recreation alliance... "we must be wary of the very challenging position that many clubs, organisations and facilities remain in." they say, "in this context, it is disappointing to see the reduced 5% rate of vat has been extended further for hospitality,

tourism and culture sectors, but still does not apply to sport and physical activity." this is something the sector has been calling for consistently. leisured sector facilities can apply for loans and grants of up to about £20,000. as well as all of this, there was more pots of money available. £1.2 million for the women's european ship egypt's next yearin women's european ship egypt's next year in england and that will go towards delivering a successful tournament after it was pushed back from this year. and what about grassroots, i hear you say, gavin? what about grassroots, then, been? like we rehearsed it. this is for pubs, post offices and others badly had to buy the pandemic and estimated that around one in four sports clubs might not come back after the pandemic. so they can apply for pots of money, around about to few thousand pounds to keep them in community ownership. ——

£250,000. as well sports clubs to get around £1 million in the extreme circumstances so all money available for local communities, around £150 million. ~ . ., million. much-needed boost for them. and also news — million. much-needed boost for them. and also news about _ million. much-needed boost for them. and also news about the _ million. much-needed boost for them. and also news about the world - million. much-needed boost for them. and also news about the world cup - and also news about the world cup bid were to be great for grassroots ports as well. bid were to be great for grassroots ports as well-— bid were to be great for grassroots ports as well. boris johnson says he wants to bring _ ports as well. boris johnson says he wants to bring football _ ports as well. boris johnson says he wants to bring football home - ports as well. boris johnson says he wants to bring football home and i ports as well. boris johnson says he i wants to bring football home and now £2.8 million will be spent by the uk government to enable a uk and ireland joint bid for the 2033 foot man's world cup. recall the 2012 olympics as it was all about legacy 0lympics as it was all about legacy and notjust hosting a major sporting tournament. what about this for legacy? £25 million to build 700 football pitches as part of that bid and you and i have played some really football and we know the state of some of the pages can be a bit dodgy at times. the one for you might be a bit better. the good thing investing in all the facilities as well and it will go to

help grassroots support so along with that pot of money to help take clubs back into ownership and help gyms and support facilities, this is focusing on that world cup with £25 million for sports pitches. lorre focusing on that world cup with £25 million for sports pitches.— million for sports pitches. love it. ho efull million for sports pitches. love it. hepefully don't — million for sports pitches. love it. hopefully don't have _ million for sports pitches. love it. hopefully don't have any - million for sports pitches. love it. hopefully don't have any more - million for sports pitches. love it. i hopefully don't have any more ankle breaking football pitches around. thank you very much for that. so, as ben was saying, the chancellor promising to back a joint uk and ireland bid to host the world cup in nine years' time. the prime minister, borisjohnson, also said he's very keen to "bring football home in 2030", adding it'd be a "wonderful thing for the country". england, you'll remember, failed as a sole bidder to win support for hosting the 2018 world cup. a bid this time around will face tough competition, too, including from the hosts of the first ever world cup back in 1930. paul frostick reports. july 1930, and montevideo's stadium hosted the final of the inaugural fifa world cup. you're a quiet one the trophy on home soil, beating

neighbours argentina for — two. —— uruguay. fouryears neighbours argentina for — two. —— uruguay. four years ago, they made the move to mark the centennial of the move to mark the centennial of the tournament by hosting once again and will support a joint bid with argentina, paraguay and chile. people he would love to have the world cup. football is an integral part of the culture here. it seems a bit cliche to say that football is in the blood hear of the uruguay people but it really is. joint in the blood hear of the uruguay people but it really is.— people but it really is. joint bids in the most _ people but it really is. joint bids in the most likely _ people but it really is. joint bids in the most likely to _ people but it really is. joint bids in the most likely to succeed, i people but it really is. joint bids i in the most likely to succeed, with the tournament being expanded to 48 teams from 2026. the last english attempt to host in 2018 received just two votes in the final count as a rush at one approval. so will a joint uk and ireland bid fair any better equipment it will be difficult. i better equipment it will be difficult. ., better equipment it will be difficult. ~' , . ., difficult. i think it will become more and _ difficult. i think it will become more and more _ difficult. i think it will become more and more likely - difficult. i think it will become more and more likely that - difficult. i think it will become more and more likely that it l difficult. i think it will become l more and more likely that it will difficult. i think it will become - more and more likely that it will be

bid? the official process will be in next year with a decision expected in 2024. and who knows, maybe some of these young uruguayan players will be involved. england's cricketers begin the fourth and final test against india in ahmedabad tomorrow morning. it's been a series which started with one of england's most famous away victories as they thrashed india by 227 runs in chennai to go 1—0 up. however, india hit back with an equally impressive win in the second test. england's batting beginning to show signs of fraility as they were twice bowled out cheaply in a heavy defeat by 317 runs. but if that defeat looked emphatic, the third test proved even more of a humbling. england thrashed inside two days. bowled out forjust 112 and then 81 in their second innings in ahmedabad on a spinning pitch which raised plenty of questions. so, at the same venue, with a similar surface expected, can england respond and salvage a draw in the series? captain joe root says they need to put any negativity out of their minds.

we know that the likelihood is it is going to spin and it will spin relatively early on in the game. and we should not be scared of that. and in the most important thing if we go in the most important thing if we go in there with confidence, especially as a batting group, we go in there and we are very clear about how we want to play and we play with our bat and we trust our defence and we will be clear when we get opportunities to score and take them and we are not scared to put bowlers under pressure and make it difficult for the same batters. and rotate the strikers as well as we can. we meet do that, we are at our best. well, england bowler monty panesar was part of the side that last won a series in india back in 2012. panesar helped england to a 2—1 series win. he told me england's batsmen have to dig in. england have to justify it here

jones was behind stumps to make sure she wished she had not. the innings ending in fittingly shambolic style, all out forjust 96. england now could afford a much more leisurely pace. the opening pair of beaumont and wild putting england in complete control, allowing that to finish what she had started. we control, allowing that to finish what she had started.- control, allowing that to finish what she had started. we talk about startin: what she had started. we talk about starting well — what she had started. we talk about starting well and _ what she had started. we talk about starting well and we _ what she had started. we talk about starting well and we did _ what she had started. we talk about starting well and we did that - what she had started. we talk about starting well and we did that today. | starting well and we did that today. the bowlers bowled exceptionally well, took wickets and that was a massive ticket. so really nice to get out there and play our first t-20. . ., , ,, get out there and play our first t-20. _,y ,y, get out there and play our first t-20. , t-20. victory by seven wickets in the series — t-20. victory by seven wickets in the series started _ t-20. victory by seven wickets in the series started at _ t-20. victory by seven wickets in the series started at pace - t-20. victory by seven wickets in the series started at pace and - the series started at pace and already preparing for more. let's take a look at some of the other sports stories making the headlines now. alberto salazar�*s appeal against a four—year ban from athletics has begun at the court of arbitration for sport. the 62—year—old was found guilty of doping violations in 2019. salazar, who once worked with britain's sir mo farah, denies any wrongdoing. no athletes have been charged with any offences related to the coach.
