in the final of the euros, beaten in a penalty shoot out by italy. but the show must go on and fast foward to tonight, england are back in action as they continue their qualifying campaign for the next big tournament — the 2022 world cup in qatar. they're top of their group after 3 wins from 3 so can they keep up that momentum with a win in hungary tonight? or have the euros affected their confidence? here's what harry maguire has to say. 0bviously obviously it ended and disappointed but were doing it and memories that we made, the smiles we put on peoples faces was there for everyone to see. it was a greatjourney, obviously disappointing in the end. come so close to the championship. we know were nearly there, we've got lots of things to improve on and yeah, i think it's a big test. more mentally than physically. each one of those players get to look after her. we spoke about it and we need to be ready because we know it's going to be a tough test you hungry. if were not ready mentally we won't
6:34 pm
perform to our best and we won't get the result that we need. so of course the mentality of the squad will be tested. and we need to overcome that and show what we are about. so if harry maguire is anything to go by it soundslike england have buried the demons and are wholly focused on next year's world cup but the big difference tonight will be the addition of 60,000 presumably hostile hungary fans. let's hear from our reporter in budapest — juliette ferrington who's following the build up to the game. the build—up is already started here in the cities sense the stadium behind me. the fans are gathering around, the police cordons have gone up, we got mounted police. there's quite a big police present here tonight for this match against england. there are a few england fans started around. 0bviously few england fans started around. obviously this is good to be the first chance that we've seen england play in a competitive game sense of losing the euro 2020 final to italy. so much disappointment around that. the players and spoke about that this week and now they're going to
6:35 pm
try and use that as motivation to go one step further in this world cup qualifying campaign. pick up where they left off in the campaign, top of the group was hungry will present a very difficult test for them. john stones, if he plays it will be his 50th. all eyes on the captain harry kane after he committed his future to tottenham. there are a few england fans who have made the trip over here. it'll be interesting to see if they actually get inside the stadium for this match tonight. england fans are very loyal. they travelled for all the net from all over. much as the x ? ? transmit ? ? capnext uk is a lot expects that follow england and appeared to be one or two here tonight.— england and appeared to be one or two here tonight. there's been much discussion that _ two here tonight. there's been much discussion that hungry _ two here tonight. there's been much discussion that hungry fans - two here tonight. there's been much discussion that hungry fans are - discussion that hungry fans are currently under a ua for band. of course this is a fifa world cup qualifying games of the rules don't apply to this with what's been the reaction from england.— reaction from england. there is auoin to reaction from england. there is going to be _ reaction from england. there is going to be 60,000 _ reaction from england. there is going to be 60,000 almost - reaction from england. there isi going to be 60,000 almost full capacity here in the stadium behind me for this match. full of home

support. but garrett so kate didn't really want to get involved in that discussion in his —— southgate. building up to this qualifier today. he was talking about england getting its own house in order. referring to what happened a couple of months ago in that final against italy with the fans and their behaviour before, during and after that match. he actually used the words carnage. so rather than talk about get involved in the discussion should home support be here tonight watching their team, cheering on their team? head ratherfocus on their team, cheering on their team? head rather focus on what england can do and get their house in order, he called it rather than look from the outside and criticised the other nations. now of course the knee. england players will continue to take the need for them and that may provoke sums sort of hostility in this tonight. because the hungarian
6:37 pm
supporters, they have been sanctioned, punishment for homophobic and racist abuse during the games they played and in euro 2020. so it's going to be a difficult test for england tonight. and the mood may make it that little bit harder as a good look to pick up from where they left off in their world cup qualifying campaign in budapest year. full commentary you can hear it all five live up alive build—up starts from seven o'clock tonight. a quick bit of news from the under 21 camp — and covid has forced tomorrow's england under 21's game against romania to be postponed. meanwhile northern ireland are in lithuania — still looking for their first win in this qualifying campaign. they're third in a tough group behind italy and switzerland and will be missing several key players for tonight's game. steven watson reports. the northern ireland captain will lead his team out tonight missing key players mcginnis, evans, his brother corey and stuart dallas.

and his band. england's cricketers have made another fine start in the fourth test against india. after winning the toss and putting india into bat, they were all out for 191. henry moran has been watching for us at the oval... henry, perfect day to win the toss and joe root�*s bowlers now they are 53 for three start maybe it was as below par as we thought? it’s maybe it was as below par as we thou . ht? �* , , maybe it was as below par as we thou:ht? h , ., ., , maybe it was as below par as we thou:ht? �*, , ., ., , ._ quite frankly as i looked down at the scorecard it seems barely believable that we've seen the amount of action that we have is a particularly at the way the ending started. we saw plus overs or so and pretty good control putting to bed but then those wicked started tumbling. look at the likes of the way they got out in such familiar ways in terms of what we seen so far in this series with him england finding that outside edge, managing to make the best of the conditions. when connie was removed for a 50 on a day when he looked like he was in

really good touch of perceptive will go on a break this had not scored a hundred in close to two years, it could perhaps be the indian skipper statement that would get fell for 50 on a day when he looked like he was in really good talk to perceptively go on a break this had not scored a hundred in close to two years, it could perhaps be the indian skipper statement that would get fell. then england really did feel in control of this game. it was a little bit... there was a decent hitting at the backend. but that with the likes not being able to score the beginnings that perhaps you would expect getting out shots, not making the most of conditions on the first day. really putting them in control. those early wickets, and then the huge dismissal of the young captain joe bruno is been in such extraordinary form in recent weeks. to lose them from england's point of view early on in the endings really does put the pressure on and will be fascinating to see how that morning session goes to office of england a fair distance behind the three wickets out.— fair distance behind the three wickets out. , , �* , , wickets out. just when he's been civen a wickets out. just when he's been given a blunt _ wickets out. just when he's been given a blunt batsman _ wickets out. just when he's been| given a blunt batsman statement wickets out. just when he's been - given a blunt batsman statement two status. you suddenly had a late flurry, the fastest half—century in
