6:35 pm
good evening, and welcome to tonight's programme. with wales on the brink of qualifying for their first world cup since 1958, they have a 1—0 lead over ukraine in their playoff this evening. 0lly foster has been watching the game and joins me now. you can't help but feel that wales have had just a little bit of luck on their side?— have had just a little bit of luck on their side? yes, but they have 'ust hit a on their side? yes, but they have just hit a post _ on their side? yes, but they have just hit a post and _ on their side? yes, but they have just hit a post and the _ on their side? yes, but they have just hit a post and the ukrainian i just hit a post and the ukrainian keeper hasjust made just hit a post and the ukrainian keeper has just made a very good save. we are into the last 15 minutes. at the city of cardiff stadium. wales 15 minutes away from qatar, one of those final slots. it was all ukraine. remember how they were absolutely brilliant against scotland in the play—off semifinal at hampden earlier this week, loving the scots await 3—1. and they were
6:36 pm
all over wales for the first 15 minutes. but then, who else? gareth bale, their captain, their inspiration, their talisman, bale, their captain, their inspiration, theirtalisman, he bale, their captain, their inspiration, their talisman, he had a free kickjust outside the box. 25 yards. he whipped it into the box. it was on target, and the west ham forward tried to intercept and block it. itjust absolutely forward tried to intercept and block it. it just absolutely flew into the net. it might be credited as an own goal, but wales did not care one jot. it was bale who was celebrating. they have push their luck because ukraine really came at them earlier in the second half. ben davies a brilliant blocking challenge inside the six yard box. hennessy with a brilliant save. just pushing white with the follow—up as well. and ukraine have made a couple of substitutions. another block from wales there on the line. it is going
6:37 pm
to be a very, very nervy final 15 minutes there. they have just got their heads in their hands. another missed chance, and ben davies again putting his body on the line for wales as he has done all through their qualifying campaign. a brilliant performance from wales so far. ., .., brilliant performance from wales so far. ., . ., , , brilliant performance from wales so far. ., , , ., , far. you can see why. it means so much for — far. you can see why. it means so much for wales, _ far. you can see why. it means so much for wales, arguably - far. you can see why. it means so much for wales, arguably even i far. you can see why. it means so i much for wales, arguably even more for them than ukraine. i much for wales, arguably even more for them than ukraine.— for them than ukraine. i think all the neutrals _ for them than ukraine. i think all the neutrals will _ for them than ukraine. i think all the neutrals will be _ for them than ukraine. i think all the neutrals will be supporting . the neutrals will be supporting ukraine because they are a country at war. they have hardly played any football at all. we saw what they did to the scots, we thought this was a team possessed. the manchester city man was superb against the scots and has been superb again.
6:38 pm
ukraine have been regulars in major european championships, they have beenin european championships, they have been in the last three. since they started to competing under their own flag. since they broke away from the soviet union. they reach the world cup in 2006, but obviously wales have only been to two major championships. the euros in 2016 and then you have to go all the way back to the dark ages of the world cup, 1958, when they qualified in very curious circumstances. they didn't think they had made it to the world cup in sweden but there was a very strange politics going on in the middle east. they played a play—off against israel which they won, and they got to play in sweden. they lost to a pele goal in the quarterfinals. certainly, what we are looking at now is the future and just over ten minutes away from making it to qatar. but there could be some twists to go yet. it is
6:39 pm
auoin to be some twists to go yet. it is going to be — be some twists to go yet. it is going to be a _ be some twists to go yet. it is going to be a nervy _ be some twists to go yet. it is going to be a nervy ten minutes. 0live foster. after a disappointing defeat by greece in their first match on thursday night, nothing much really to inspirejust thursday night, nothing much really to inspire just yet thursday night, nothing much really to inspirejust yet in thursday night, nothing much really to inspire just yet in cyprus. it is still goalless with around 18 minutes or so remaining there. and of course, northern ireland are actually 51 places above their hosts. you can follow the latest online and on the bbc sport app. cricket now, and england have beaten new zealand by five wickets to win the first test at lord's. from 216—5 overnight, with a target of 277, the home side were taken to victory with help from a joe root century — giving his successor, ben stokes, the perfect start to his reign. joe wilson reports.
6:40 pm
sunday morning and all things possible, a test match at its best. super intense. captain ben stokes knew all he could do was watch. everyone mattered. fourfrom ben foakes, a leap forward. just 42 more to win now. everyone in the ground was counting the score and counting on the batters who remained. but who else would you want out there for england butjoe root, the calmest man at lords? new zealand needed five wickets, time was slipping by. time for root to reach 100 in this innings, to reach 10,000 runs in his outstanding test career. right here, the partnership with foakes was worth even more, because it kept the door closed on new zealand. the very hardest thing to do is to make it look easy. the most demanding of situations became a master class from one of the all—time greats, winning the test like that. remember, this was more than just the first test of the new summer.
6:41 pm
for england, they hoped this was the start of a new test match era. some called it a reset, the captain preferred the term blank canvas. well, thanks to the former skipper, joe root, here is an image to inspire england onwards. joe wilson, bbc news. well, forjoe root, who ended 115 not out, he becomes the second england batter after sir alastair cook to reach 10,000 test runs. he says it was a much needed victory for this england side. i think it'sjust i think it's just a really important thing for the team to remember what winning is like again. it is felt like a very long time. it has been talked about a huge amount and just read so much confidence and it can run through the rest of the group. it is a fresh start with ben and a way for us to now look forward and do things slightly differently. and everyone should be really excited by that and take confidence from that in itself. but you start with a win like that, of course, we are feeling
