ending their chances for a qualifying for the last 16 for the first time in their history. but assurances from steve clarke they will make qualifying for major tournaments the norm, it will no longer be a one—off. the scotland captain andy robertson as well speaking today about how proud he was and hopefully they've given the scottish faithful something to cheer about in this tournament. they certainly did that with that draw here against england. jane dougall reflecting on the disappointment of missing out on a spot in the last 16. yes, the euros journey yes, the eurosjourney for scotland is over after that 3—1 defeat to croatia. they desperately needed a win, loss, or draw would not have done, and theyjust couldn't deliver. so the squad and the coaching staff have all left glasgow and travelled to their respective homes — some having further to travel for others, but for all,

homes — some having further to travel for others, but forall, it travel for others, but for all, it will feel like travel for others, but forall, it will feel like a very long journey. that's all the squad apart from billy gilmore, of course, because he tested positive for coronavirus before this match and wasn't able to travel to glasgow. he's isolating in darlington at scotland's training base in northeast england, and he will remain there until he is permitted to leave. but what now for scotland? well, head coach steve clark has categorically said that it will not take another 23 years for scotland to qualify for their next major tournament. scotland to qualify for their next majortournament. but scotland to qualify for their next major tournament. but there was so much hope attached to the squad, especially because of the exciting way that they did qualify for these euros. so the disappointment is palpable here in scotland. but the tartan army's support has been unwavering, and that will not change. even after that defeat last night as the squad walked around the hamden pitch, applauding theirfans, nobody left early, nobody booed, all

the fans stayed and clapped for their team, the fans stayed and clapped for theirteam, and the fans stayed and clapped for their team, and they all saying, "we love you, scotland." —— they all sang. love you, scotland." -- they all sanu. ~ love you, scotland." -- they all san a . . ., love you, scotland." -- they all san. _ . ., ., , love you, scotland." -- they all sanu. . . . , ., love you, scotland." -- they all san a . . ., ., , ., ., love you, scotland." -- they all san a i . ., ., , ., ., sang. we wait and see who that will be, but we — sang. we wait and see who that will be, but we know— sang. we wait and see who that will be, but we know whales _ sang. we wait and see who that will be, but we know whales are - sang. we wait and see who that will be, but we know whales are up - be, but we know whales are up against denmark on saturday in amsterdam. denmark's first match away from copenhagen, very differently atmosphere. welsh fans being warned they won't be able to get in, even fewer than those in rome and before that baku. hywel griffith is in amsterdam. the team decided rather than return to wales, to stay here in rome to make use of the italian facilities under some warm weather training. they know when they go to amsterdam tomorrow, temperatures will be cooler. when it comes to saturday, the reception might be more frosty too. there won't be any welsh fans

there because of border controls. danish fans will be allowed in for a 12 hour bubble. what about the neutrals? it's safe to say many people have denmark as their second team in this tournament because of what they've been through with the collapse of christian eriksen. will that be a factor on saturday? i've been speaking to danjames. after been speaking to dan james. after that happened. — been speaking to dan james. after that happened, it _ been speaking to danjames. after that happened, it must've been awful. — that happened, it must've been awful. i— that happened, it must've been awful, i can't imagine playing in that scenario. but yeah, they've come _ that scenario. but yeah, they've come back— that scenario. but yeah, they've come back from it. i know they lost that game — come back from it. i know they lost that game and the second game, but i thought— that game and the second game, but i thought they were brilliant in the last game, to go out and win it. in this tournament, you can do that, you can _ this tournament, you can do that, you can lose — this tournament, you can do that, you can lose two games, when the last one _ you can lose two games, when the last one and still go through. in terms last one and still go through. terms of last one and still go through. in terms of their fitness, three players training individually again today. gareth bale... we are told they are all well, it's just a matter of how many minutes they played in this tournament so far. the team fly on amsterdam tomorrow.

this was effectively world cricket's final heading into stoppage time. one extra day to climb onto the top of the world. vera coley made a full start, succumbing to a rampant kyle jamison. to win the title, india needed to get much further ahead of new zealand and fast, which is where rishabh pant comes in. he's a man who always bets as if he's running out of time. eventually he ran out of luck too. everything now pointed new zealand's way, their bowlers are moved to the tail, their supporters remove the tops. india all outcome of the match stripped down, 139 runs for new zealand to get. india forced a couple of hiccups. but instead of chaos, there was kiwi calm because of game. together with ross taylor, williamson helped his team to the end of an amazing story. one of test cricket's smallest nations, now its first official champion.

feeding into some more cloud from the southeast, band of rain comes down from scotland and turns better in northern ireland. but as it brightens up in wales and parts of the midlands, this is where we could be warmest of all, 23—24 c. heading into friday, a messy day for friday, lots of cloud around with showers or longer spells of rain, it may be a bit drier across wales, turning dryer in scotland but a cool, northerly breeze here, so too for northern ireland, pegging temperatures back. highs of 20—21 c.
