the former scotland captain scott brown will leave celtic at the end of the season to join premiership rivals aberdeen as a player—coach. brown has played more than 600 times for celtic, winning 10 league titles and 12 domestic cups. britain's adam yates has retained the overall lead after the fourth stage of the volta a catalunya. colombia's esteban chaves took the victory, but yates finished soon after to stay 45 seconds ahead of team—mates richie porte and geraint thomas. this second day of the golf tournament in texas is under way. matthew fitzpatrick has bounced back after losing his opening match. he has beaten the canadian player 5—4. former england fly—half danny cipriani says he was looking for a club that matches his ambition — as he agreed a deal to play for premiership side bath on an extended one year contract. the 33—year—old left rivals gloucester in december having played

just one game of the season. so how surprising is this move? here's our rugby union reporter sara orchard. it is interesting because cipriani originally left gloucester back in december citing he needed some time away from the game and he says he has spent that time away working on his writing and is kicking and the reason he decided to join his writing and is kicking and the reason he decided tojoin bath is because they have to say and the reason he decided to join because they have to say and the reason he decided tojoin bath is because they have the same attacking mindset as what he wants to put into his games and this is his fourth premiership club and he has prayed and of course he left gloucester last december and there had been some rumours they was interest from the likes of japan and also clubs some rumours they was interest from the likes ofjapan and also clubs in france that he is a prized asset and he was protected 2019 rugby player association player of the year because he really is a fantastic prospect and very exciting to watch.

jos buttler will skipper the side in his absence. batsman sam billings has a bruised collarbone so he'll also miss tomorrow's match — and defeat could mean england are knocked off top spot in the world rankings — but ben stokes says he and his team—mates just want to win the game. being number one is obviously a fantastic thing to have and next to your name as a team but it's not our driving force for some of our driving force for some of our driving force for some of our driving force is the way we go about it and our attitude towards being the game and that's what made us be successful and to more successful we are the more chance and the more opportunity we have got to be at number one so i was driving force is making sure we stay true to ourselves and it's how we play the game. now let's bring you up to date with all today's tennis news, starting with a scare for britain's jack draper at the miami 0pen. draper really struggled with the heat and humidity

in his match against mikhail kukushkin, collapsing on court during the first set. he received swift medical attention but couldn't continue. he did recover though and was able to walk off unaided. after the pandemic cancelled now, after the pandemic cancelled the 2019 edition — the world figure skating championships are back this week, with stockholm hosting nearly 200 competitors from all over the world. and six of those will be from britain — but they have struggled to get time on the ice over the last year in the pandemic. so what about their hopes then? you can follow it all on the bbc and katherine downes is part of the coverage for us. it was a big campaign to get rinks to reopen i where it as giddy as could get that training and they have had some ice time but nowhere nearas have had some ice time but nowhere near as much as they want take their

it's an olympic qualifier as well. so if they get into that top ten for qualify two spots for great britain at the olympics in beijing next year which will be fantastic to have two parents coming in the ice dance. it would be amazing so fingers crossed that i elise can deliver. commentary starts today on the red button. you can catch it this evening. tomorrow and on saturday and they have got highlights at liz30pm on bbc. the official countdown to the postponed 2020 toyko games is under way. this morning, members ofjapan women's football team from 2011 began the olympic torch�*s journey to the opening ceremony on the 23rd ofjuly. and getting to tokyo is also the aim of britain's marathon runners, in the trials at kew gardens, in london tomorrow. for one athlete, making it to tokyo, would complete an incredible transformation. tom evans only took up the sport in 2017, as part of a drunken bet with his friends. joe lynskey has the story.

the marathon is the 0lympic�*s non—guest race but no route to the start time is ever the same. time and that is 29. four ago he did one park run but one night his showed him a race through the sahara. it is called the marathon and it's 150 called the marathon and it's150 miles long. i called the marathon and it's150 miles long-— called the marathon and it's150 miles lon. ., , ., miles long. i had some friends who -- a lengthy _ miles long. i had some friends who -- a lengthy delay _ miles long. i had some friends who -- a lengthy delay in _ miles long. i had some friends who -- a lengthy delay in 2017 - miles long. i had some friends who -- a lengthy delay in 2017 after - —— a lengthy delay in 2017 after baking them after one or two beers perhaps saying i bet i can do better than you guys. yes, i would skates, i paid lots of rugby and i went to the gym but i did not know i was so naive. ., ., , , naive. tom did not 'ust finished the race, he naive. tom did not 'ust finished the he came — naive. tom did notjust finished the race, he came third. _ naive. tom did notjust finished the race, he came third. britain's - naive. tom did notjust finished the race, he came third. britain's best. race, he came third. britain's best ever result. now he runs trails around the world for time. he let his career in the army to become an ultra runner and he approaches his endurance from a different perspective. a, endurance from a different perspective. endurance from a different --ersective. ~ , ., ,, ., . . perspective. a professional athlete is trainin: perspective. a professional athlete is training to _ perspective. a professional athlete is training to perform _ perspective. a professional athlete is training to perform their- perspective. a professional athlete is training to perform their best i is training to perform their best and they are feeding their best whereas a soldier is training to
