moment is looking friday at the moment is looking wetter for most of england as the rain progresses north and perhaps further west. the drier window for northern ireland and scotland, the odd shower. still a very pleasant 18 in the sunshine but a cool 15 to 17, or at least you would think but the humidity is down. the rain could still be around for wembley tomorrow evening for the football, so it is touch and go whether those brisk winds and the rain move away. saturday is still looking on balance like the drier day of the weekend. some pleasantjune sunshine to enjoy and that will help temperatures up again. we havejust lost humidity for a day, but not for long because through saturday night and sunday we will see another pulse of wet weather, potentially heavy and thundery rain pushing northwards. this time reaching up into scotland and northern ireland with lots of

hello welcome to sportsday, live from wembley. coming up tonight... the tartan army arrive in london — scotland hoping to keep their tournament hopes alive when they face england here tomorrow denmark back in action — the first time since the collapse of christian eriksen. and i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes with the rest of the sport, here's some of what else we have
6:33 pm
coming up in the programme. murray's queen's comeback is over — but three other british players are through to the quarter—finals. and she's already gb hockey�*s olympic golden girl. so how is hollie pearn—webb — feeling about captaining the team in tokyo? welcome to wembley, this time tomorrow night england and scotland will be preparing to take to the field in their crucial group match. the first time the two sides have faced each other since 2017 and a huge amount at stake, not least for scotland who need a positive result to stand any chance of reaching the knockout stage.

we ll be outside the england team hotel shortly halving arrived in london before tomorrow s game. first though, let's chat to jane dougall who's spent the whole week with the scotland camp. very good evening to you. you've been spending the build up to the big match tomorrow with the scotland camp. for steve, their manager, a huge occasion that the match as it always is between these proud nations but i guess he will want to try and take some of that intensity out of the situation.— out of the situation. they absolutely _ out of the situation. they absolutely need - out of the situation. they absolutely need a - out of the situation. they absolutely need a result. out of the situation. tue: absolutely need a result tomorrow. and that is crucial because after that loss against the czech republic in their opening match it would have been nice to have come here with the wing under their belts, not to be. we have to get something out of this match and they are doing it the hard way or asjohn said, the scottish way. and this is the most scottish
6:35 pm
thing that they could possibly deal. statistically speaking to lose against the statistically easiest country in the group, and that you have to go and win against statistically the hardest country against the group but they will have to be prepared to do that and have to be prepared to do that and have to aim to do that. and because of the passion you are talking about steve taking out of that but once you have cool heads give it wants to have passion in their hearts. this is the oldest international factor in the world, there's so much history between these two countries. on paper of course england should win, they are ranked fourth in the rankings, scotland are ranked 411th. it is almost like eight derby. stats just go out the window with that. ranking throughout the window —— ranking go out the window. and when there's as many grudges as there are and a chip on the shoulder anything can happen. fix,

6:37 pm
cleared up now. it's a boost for scotland and looking back of that first gave the adolescent in—house and not having him there was definitely a loss for them. steve clarke has said the squad knows what they have to do and also he said that the fans are going to hell, of course they are being within wembley and the fans have descended upon wembley, and the bagpipes as well arriving at stations across london, at least 2800 fans will be added wembley to watch the match against england. wembley to watch the match against encland. . ~ wembley to watch the match against encland. ., ~ ,., wembley to watch the match against encland. . ~' ,. , wembley to watch the match against encland. ., ~ , . england. thank you very much indeed for that this evening. _ england. thank you very much indeed for that this evening. got _ england. thank you very much indeed for that this evening. got to _ england. thank you very much indeed for that this evening. got to go - england. thank you very much indeed for that this evening. got to go all- for that this evening. got to go all the way back to 1999. alan shearer captained england that day and a display result of the lost was a european qualifier ahead of euro 2000. he's been speaking about the unique education in the matches between these nations but he said that scotland will need to improve if they are to get result tomorrow.

6:40 pm
scotland a project, remember if england when they are through to the last 16 with a game to spare and if croatia slip up against the checks before that tomorrow then england will be guaranteed a top to finish so we are talking about what he does with the squad. sub has pulls a bit of surprise at left back again. just got to wait and see and harry maguire certainly thrown his hat in the ring. maguire certainly thrown his hat in the rim. �* ,, ., the ring. and i guess after the o enin: the ring. and i guess after the opening victory _ the ring. and i guess after the opening victory in _ the ring. and i guess after the opening victory in the - the ring. and i guess after the opening victory in the open . the ring. and i guess after the i opening victory in the open group game are we expecting any changes to come from gareth southgate? irate game are we expecting any changes to come from gareth southgate?- come from gareth southgate? we will have to see- — come from gareth southgate? we will have to see- he _ come from gareth southgate? we will have to see. he spoke _ come from gareth southgate? we will have to see. he spoke to _ come from gareth southgate? we will have to see. he spoke to marcus - have to see. he spoke to marcus rashford yesterday who only came on for the last 20 minutes, this is how the wealth of attacking talents that southgate has, mason mountain that attacking role alongside declan rice
6:41 pm
and phillips, they performed really well and those holding midfielders, he will have to have those sort of conservative players and jordan henderson, who is having a birthday today, he's knocking on the door as well and marcus rashford said he has come back in a training and wants to put his head above the parapet again and will be pushing for a starting place. and arguably strongest team of the group, just all out again and see if they can put the scots away and qualify. england heavy favourites but a lot of players thinking they can come in and do just as good a job as that starting 11 against croatia. another thing to throw into the mix, on match days you can only name 23 i matched a squad which leaves three players out in the cold altogether so harry maguire is not fit anyway who were left out, and for the sake of harmony some suggestion that gareth southgate will rotate those three

6:43 pm
collapsed last saturday and there was a hugely special moment in that match where on the tenth minute play was stopped for a minute, the number ten being eriksen's certain number, and fences of the stadium and others applauded in light of what we saw play out on saturday. they are in action against belgium at the moment. last saturday football did not matter. the life of one of its star players did. normally christian eriksen bringsjoy star players did. normally christian eriksen brings joy to us were in the way he plays the again. he says he is ok and now he is a way forward. in support, that does not always and careers. this man plays at this euros with a similar device. but for james taylor, a cardiac episode saw

6:45 pm
both teams had agreed to a minute's applause. belgium had a match last saturday when they had also played for the news. perhaps it was understandable they started this match slow, but after the break they brought on kevin to brenda and he creates the extraordinary. after a brilliant belgian build up he took aim himself. denmark now to go through cannot afford to lose. they will play onto the end of what has been there toughest week. and that's how the score stands at the moment. we will bring you the result of that match a little bit later on in the programme. now i will hand you back to lizzie in the studio who has the rest of the day sport. thanksjohn, there's plenty of other sport to tell you about. starting with the tennis at queens which is turning out to be a very good tournament so far
