of defiance, humour and collective optimism — no mean feat. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe, and i'll see you next week. hey, baby. where are your parents? hey, uh, whose baby? what? hello, and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. england are crushed in india. they lose by an innings — in a fourth test collapse — a series to forget. xhaka's gift to burnley — a mistake by the arsenal midfielder, costs his side points in the premier league

lunchtime kick off. and rangers are now a point from a first top flight title in a decade — but fans defy government advice to turn up at ibrox. hello, and thanks for being with us here on sportsday. england's cricketers fell apart again in india — after batting collapse that's become all too familiar on their tour so far. they were beaten in the fourth test, by an innings and 25 runs. england bowled out for just 135, on another disappointing day in ahmedabad. india didn't even need to bat again, to seal the 3—1 series win. joe wilson reports. one consolation for england. it's finally all over. no more must they endure trying to bat in india. zak crawley began

the final collapse. jonny bairstow soon followed, another nought for him. ben stokes had only just finished bowling. he was batting briefly. two runs from him, too much asked of him. and what of the burden onjoe root? the batsmen who put win into england's winter made 30. then a familiar—looking lbw. when dom bess lunged hopefully and edged faintly, axar patel had his fifth wicket. whether the ball is red or pink, it turns to gold in his hand. england needed 190 to make india bat again. really, theyjust needed some pride. dan lawrence took his opportunity, made 50, at least it was something to get dressed up for. that was a surprise. this wasn't. five wickets for ravichandran ashwin. england all out to spin. this test had unravelled like the previous two. i think we still did very

well in that respect. but unfortunately we were out skilled — but unfortunately we were out skilled by some very talented players — skilled by some very talented players in these conditions. england had to find their own answers in the series, and by the end there was only one team in it. joe wilson, bbc news. to the premier league now — arsenal got off to the perfect start, against burnley, in the early game this afternoon. but a mistake by granit xhaka, which lead to a bizarre equaliser — and some last ditch burnley defending meant it was honours even at turf moor. alex gulrajani reports. consistency is what mikel arteta has been searching for with his arsenal team, and a trip to turf moor offered a chance of a third consecutive win. captain pierre—emerick aubameyang got them running early on. truth be told, arsenal should have scored more but wasted their chances. at the other end, burnley�*s pressing produced panic. granit xhaka with the assist.

chris wood didn't know too much about it. but they took it. his team—mate, erik pieters, would be key man from here on in. he almost gave the home side the lead. and he wasn't finished there. a goal—saving block wasjudged to be a handball. off he went, penalty to arsenal. until var took a look. no handball, no penalty, no red card. but still one last arsenal chance. it was not to be. a point apiece on an entertaining afternoon. really was entertaining — but perhaps not so for mikel arteta — who felt his arsenal side were left to rue their missed chances in the match. really frustrated. but the reality is that you come to a difficult ground with a difficult pitch, and you produce a lot of big chances. so if you don't score your big chances, if you give a goal to the opponent, if you don't give the referee's decision when you need to,

in the premier league it's pretty complicated to win four games. people who know us, know our history against arsenal, and the last minute goals, and the offsides and the handballs, and all sorts of things that would have given us more points in previous seasons. today, we got a point from the right use of var. southampton ended their run of nine premier league matches without a win in style. as they beat bottom of the table sheffield united 2—0. che adams, haunting his former club, afterjames ward prowse had opened the scoring from the penalty spot at bramall lane. it was goalless in the aston villa — wolves match. leicester could go back up to second, if they can get a win at brighton. that game kicks off in around ten minutes' time. rangers have one hand on the scottish premiership trophy for the first time in ten years. they beat st mirren 3—0 so any slip up by celtic at dundee united tomorrow means they'll be officially crowned champions. the game was marred though by scenes outside ibrox. the scottish government say they are extremely disappointed a number of supporters gathered at the ground despite covid lockdown rules.

current guidance bans public gatherings and says a maximum of two people from two households are allowed to meet outdoors. confirmation of that rangers victory then. elsewhere, stjohnstone kept their top six hopes alive, after beating hibernian. and ross county fell behind, but came back to defeat kilmarnock 3—2. rugby union, and saracens first game in the second tier after being relegated for salary cap breaches has seen them stunned 25—17 at cornish pirates. earlier this afternoon, the champions exeter chiefs came back to beat bath. and gloucester were given a real scare in their game, as michael redford reports. in these current times, any view will do when it comes to watching live sport, especially when the defending champions are in town. exeter are a side coming under increasing pressure, and it showed in the early stages. rhys priestland and ruaridh mcconnochie combining as bath raced into a 13—0 lead.

exeter began to find the gaps. he was quickly followed by sam simmons, and from there it was one—way traffic. sam skinner added two tries of his own. in a 38—16 win, their biggest victory. there might be a crisis brewing in coventry. wasps were looking to avoid a third successive defeat but were soon behind to gloucester. the away side had arnie thoroughly sent off. a second try before half—time saw gloucester leading 17—0. when josh bassett went over with ten minutes remaining, the fightback was complete. not quite.

this penalty three minutes from time saw gloucester snatch a 20—19 win. the first time wasps have won four home matches in a row. the pressure is definitely building. in the evening game, bristol restored their advantage at the top of the table over exeter after snatching victory at worcester warriors. the bears let a seven—point half—time lead slip and it wasn't until siva naulago's hat—trick try was converted with ten minutes left that they edged to a 2a—23 win. edinburgh's proili match against benetton tomorrow has been postponed. it's after a positive covid—i9 test in the benetton camp. the pro“; say "concern around close contacts" within the italian club's squad led to the postponement. the match is likely to be rescheduled from april. earlier this afternoon, glasgow warriors beat zebre 31—20. the scottish side ran in four tries in parma with nick grigg scoring the final one inside the last ten minutes to put the match beyond the italians. one other rugby line, and england's jack willis could be out for up to a year, after having surgery on a knee ligament injury.

the wasps flanker was premiership player of the season last year but he was injured during last month's six nations win over italy — that was only his third cap. he said he was "pretty gutted". there's been controversy at the european indoor athletics championships in poland. britain's holly archer thought she'd won silver in the 1,500 metres, only to be later disqualified for pushing during the race. that decision is being appealed. it's been a better evening forjodie williams though who managed a personal best in the 400 metres to claim bronze. it's her first individual medal since 2014. icame here i came here to do that. so i'm just really— i came here to do that. so i'm just really glad — i came here to do that. so i'm just really glad that i've proved to myself — really glad that i've proved to myself that i can get on podiums again _ myself that i can get on podiums again this— myself that i can get on podiums again. this was really about overcoming those mental barriers. last time — overcoming those mental barriers. lasl time i— overcoming those mental barriers. last time i was here, i came forth. i had _ last time i was here, i came forth. i had to— last time i was here, i came forth. i had to come _ last time i was here, i came forth. i had to come home with something. the black swimming association have announced that they plan to undertake a pioneering research

project, to tackle inequalities and barriers that prevent african, caribbean and asian communities from participating in aquatic sports. last year, a sport england survey revealed that over 90% of black and asian adults in the uk don't swim. alice dearing is a co—founder of the bsa and is aiming to become the first black female swimmer to represent great britain at an olympic games this summer. i have been given so many incredible opportunities for swimming, and i would _ opportunities for swimming, and i would hate for people to miss out on these _ would hate for people to miss out on these we _ would hate for people to miss out on these. we just want swimming to be as diverse _ these. we just want swimming to be as diverse and inclusive as it can be. i wholeheartedly believe this will never happen again. we will get a number of black athletes coming through and just being part of the sport. where you want them to be. that's all from sportsday. thank you for watching.

the weather isn't too bad out there. it's a little on the nippy side but it's settled and that's how it's going to stay over the next two or three days. i suspect from wednesday, we will be talking about different things — gales and rain. but until then, the high pressure is with us. it's quite a cloudy high so admittedly we are not getting that much sunshine. but some of us did on saturday — there were some good, lengthy sunny spells in a few areas. but i think as far as tonight is concerned, it is partly cloudy and, where the skies clear and the winds fall light, we'll see a touch of frost. here in the north—west, the winds are blowing out of the south—west, pushing milder air into western scotland. it's 5 degrees in stornoway. but you can see much of the country hovering around zero. a touch of frost in a few areas

first thing on sunday morning. there will be some sunshine around but generally speaking it is quite a cloudy day, and on top of that you can see where the rain is there, across western and northern scotland. temperatures on sunday averaging around 7—8. on monday, the high pressure still with us. 0nly just. it's a very weak high pressure but it is slipping southwards and it's allowing these weather fronts to sneak in, so i think the northern half of the uk, broadly speaking, will be cloudy on monday. the possibility of some rain into yorkshire. from the midlands southwards, monday should stay dry and there should be some sunshine around as well. around 11 degrees. tuesday could be quite bright if not sunny. temporarily we will see drier air coming in from the south ahead of this low pressure. this is the beginning of the unsettled spell of weather heading our way. from wednesday onwards, the current thinking is we will see a powerful jet stream. this is wednesday here. a powerfuljet stream making

a beeline for the uk. quite often powerfuljet streams spin up large areas of low pressure, nasty areas of low pressure. you can see one such area of low pressure here on the forecast, just south of iceland, but also one approaching ireland. this will almost certainly mean gales around western coasts and quite possibly severe gales. so, from wednesday onwards, a big change in the weather pattern into very unsettled.

this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at eight. pressure grows on the government over its pay offer to health service staff in england, more unions have joined the backlash. actually the pandemic really only enhances the case for a pay rise for nhs staff. hundreds of rangers fans gather outside the ibrox stadium in glasgow, despite lockdown rules — the team's on the verge of winning the scottish premiership. pope francis delivers an impassioned condemnation of extremism and violence during the first ever papal visit to iraq.
