0liver dowden said that the ecb had gone "over the top" and prime minister borisjohnson is said to have been "supportive" of his comments. however, england head coach chris silverwood said it was impossible to dismiss the tweets, and former england batsman michael carberry said robinson shouldn't play test cricket again. let's take a look at how this story unfolded. the posts were made in 2012 and 2013 when robinson was aged 18 and i9. they were revealed last week when he was making his england debut during the first test against new zealand at lord's. robinson apologised, saying he was "embarassed and ashamed." the ecb suspended him, pending the outcome of a disciplinary investigation, but robinson will take no part in the second test at edgebaston. speaking after the ecb's decision england head coach said education was key to helping eradicate racism from sport.

it was a stark reminder to all of the responsibility. he showed a lot of remorse. i think it's been a really big learning for him. the big thing is education. we are all striving to be better. none of us are perfect. we work hard to make sure that this great game is inclusive for everybody. well, here is what the culture secretary 0liver dowden tweeted on the matter. he wrote... earlier, i spoke to dean wilson, the cricket correspondent for the mirror.

i began by asking him if he agreed with the culture secretary, has the ecb gone too far? not at all. i think the ecb have so far had a thing isjust not at all. i think the ecb have so far had a thing is just about as well as they could have. it's a very difficult and awkward situation for them, bearing in mind that at the start of the test match they are all wearing anti discrimination t—shirts. they seem to be following through on that message. i don't think they have gone too far. they are holding an investigation, they are holding an investigation, they are giving themselves a chance not only to work out what exactly went only to work out what exactly went on but to give 0llie robinson a full chance to explain himself and the situation. and i think he should get that opportunity, and then once they got all the information that they need, they will be able to work out if any further action needs to be taken. and it makes sense, i think, to take him out of the england environment were that goes on. michael carberry has said he thinks

robinson should never play test cricket again, that he felt this was not a one off. do you think that robinson is getting his comeuppance? i certainly do agree that in terms of reading what you sow, this is certainly what is happening to 0llie. a huge embarrassment for him for something that he did quite a while ago now. but he was an adult when he did that. and he has to take full responsibility for that, which is what he is doing. as to whether or not he should ever play for england again, look, i do think that that would be pretty severe and too harsh in this instance because i do think that there is opportunity for people to rehabilitate and to show that they have learned and grown. it would be a pretty dismal and sad situation if none of us could learn from our mistakes and improve as people. so i would like to think

that 0llie will get that opportunity might be able to show his character as a 27—year—old man, rather than an 18—year—old man. as a 27-year-old man, rather than an 18-year-old man.— 18-year-old man. dean wilson s-ueakin 18-year-old man. dean wilson speaking to — 18-year-old man. dean wilson speaking to us _ 18-year-old man. dean wilson speaking to us earlier. - let's take you to, sadly, another story involving racism. there may have been two wins from two for england in their warm up matches ahead of the euros, but on both occasions now there have been boos from fans while players took a knee in support of the black lives matter movement. manager gareth southgate spoke for a second time on the topic and said they might be disheartened at the actions of some of the fans, but would not be dissuaded from continuing to take the knee. i sadly sort of expected what happened to happened, and we have accepted _ happened to happened, and we have accepted that as a group. it's not going _ accepted that as a group. it's not going to — accepted that as a group. it's not going to stop what we are doing and what we _ going to stop what we are doing and what we believe, and it's certainly not going — what we believe, and it's certainly not going to stop my support for our players _ not going to stop my support for our players and — not going to stop my support for our players and our staff. a

there a lot of these players, they are being abused while they are at work, on the field, and after as well. forthem work, on the field, and after as well. for them it is difficult to separate the two went racism almost links them. the separate the two went racism almost links them. , , ., ., links them. the eyes of the world are auoin links them. the eyes of the world are going to _ links them. the eyes of the world are going to be — links them. the eyes of the world are going to be watching - links them. the eyes of the world are going to be watching this - are going to be watching this country at this tournament, because many of the matches are being held in britain, particularly final. if this does continue, how embarrassing is that? it this does continue, how embarrassing is that? . ., , , is that? it could be hugely embarrassing. _ is that? it could be hugely embarrassing. let's - is that? it could be hugely embarrassing. let's take i is that? it could be hugely i embarrassing. let's take the weekend's game against romania. there were 7000 fans. important to state that the minority. but the fa and uefa must be having conversations now because the eyes of the world are watching. we spoken... the tournament starts on friday so not much time. spoken. .. the tournament starts on friday so not much time.— spoken... the tournament starts on friday so not much time. racism, the continued abuse _ friday so not much time. racism, the continued abuse of— friday so not much time. racism, the continued abuse of black _ friday so not much time. racism, the continued abuse of black and - friday so not much time. racism, the continued abuse of black and asian i continued abuse of black and asian players, unfortunately this is a topic you are very familiar with.

a scare after going two sets down to 19—year—old lorenzo musetti in the french open. he fought back to take the next two and heaved a sigh of relief when the young italian retired through injury. drew savage was watching. the world of tennis knows all about novak djokovic — but this was lorenzo musetti's moment to step out into the big time. 18 months ago, he was ranked 360th in the world — he's already cracked the top 100 and this is why. the teenager from tuscany played some top—class tennis — no fluke when he took the first set on a tie break. the italian every bit the equal of the serb, who's looking for his 19th grand slam title. beaten in another tie—break, two sets down. but the story changed in the third. djokovic took control to win it 6—1. unforced errors from musetti, the 19—year—old playing in his first

grand slam and new to five—set tennis seemed drained of energy. the fourth set a whitewash, 6—0 to djokovic. if the crowd had hoped for a thrilling decider they didn't get it — musetti did his best after a medical time out but was clearly troubled. it was game over, with djokovic four—love up. he marches on to the quarter finals but musetti will surely be back. no shock for djokovic in the end, but what of the other games at rolland garros today? ben croucher�*s been keeping across all the days play, including the defending men's champion. he seems to do quite well on this surface, doesn't he? it he seems to do quite well on this surface, doesn't he?— surface, doesn't he? it looks like he is going _ surface, doesn't he? it looks like he is going to — surface, doesn't he? it looks like he is going to make _ surface, doesn't he? it looks like he is going to make it _ surface, doesn't he? it looks like he is going to make it into - surface, doesn't he? it looks like he is going to make it into the i he is going to make it into the quarterfinals once more. another italian teenager taking on one of the greatest players to ever hold a tennis racket. jannik sinner is taking on rafa nadal as we speak. he didn't start off brilliantly against the italian. he was serving

for the first is set only for an aduu for the first is set only for an adult to break twice. i just got a little too ragged. then started to pull away. diego schwartzman will play the winner of this one. a day on from winning the doubles title with gordon reid, alfie hewett has added the singles title, too. he beat the men's top seed shingo kunieda in straight sets for his third win at roland garros, defending the title he won in the autumn. other results today have seen fourth seed sofia kenin beaten in the women's singles by maria sakarri. it means none of the top 16 seeds are into the last eight of the women's draw — iga swiatek can change that tonight. it could represent a golden

opportunity for coco gauff. a golden opportunity potentially for her. at 17, she's the youngest woman to reach the last eight of a slam in 15 years after brushing aside 0nsjabeur in less than an hour. and it means she is qualified for the olympics as well. you mentioned iga swiatek playing tonight. there's been some controversy around the scheduling of night matches, hasn't there? absolutely. this is the first year the french open has tried night matches, aiming to feature one of the best players each day for prime tv audiences and eventually big crowds — although the parisian curfew means there haven't been fans in yet for these games. but if we take a look at the seven fixtures chosen in the first week, what do you notice? six men's games and one women's game. swiatek will become the second later. three of the men chosen have never won a slam.

it's prompted fierce criticism from victoria azarenka —
