you can't afford to make mistakes or start a game badly now because you're going to be sent home. also coming up in the programme... late wickets help england's cricketers stay in with a shout of winning first test against pakistan. willjacks among the standout performers, at the end of day 3. hello, there, and welcome along to the programme. the netherlands are the first team through to the quarter finals of the world cup in qatar, after beating the united states 3—1. there was hint of a comeback from the us, but the dutch had too much quality in the end, as nesta mcgregor reports. well, welcome to the knockouts... for the netherlands, advancing to the last 16 of the world cup is a familiarjourney. for the usa, less so. knockout football meant the end of the road for one.
7:33 pm
but any fears that would make this a cagey affair quickly disappeared. commentator: pulisic. .. good save by noppert! the dutch, meanwhile, didn't squander their first opportunity. memphis depay blocking out the noise and dancing to his own tune. right on half—time, it was 2—0. different goal—scorer, almost identical finish. the team in orange were on course for the last eight, the usa needing a hero — and they got one. on as a second—half substitute, haji wright — right place, right foot, right lucky, some would say. miracle goal. searching for an equaliser, the usa's focus was on attack, but they failed to spot denzel dumfries at the back post. denzel dumfries, and that will surely win it! 3—1, the final score. the american dream is over. the dutch unbeaten run stretches to 19 games. can they go all the way? nesta mcgregor, bbc news.
7:34 pm
so, the dutch will take on either argentina or australia, who are playing right now. australia squeezing through, at the expense of denmark, in their group, with argentina responding well to their opening game shock to saudi arabia to win theirs. let'sjoin nesta, who's outside the ahmad bin ali stadium for us. the latest on this game in a moment, but first, the netherlands were on form earlier — they continue their unbeaten run. how dangerous are they looking? gavin, it is not a very scientific survey, but asking people around here who the favourites are, you will get ten different answers! that is testament to the kind of world cup we have had so far, no team has dominated at the group stage and no team has won all three of their
7:35 pm
games. the dutch have looked impressive, unbeaten, scoring goals. the dutch dominated possession today, they probably should have scored more than the three goals. liverpool's virgil van dijk marshall their defence. the dutch as a nation have never won the world cup, when you think about the great players that have been through there. they have been to the final three times. stars might be their manager, louis van gaal, 71 years of age, his third time in charge of the netherlands. he will stay away from the team from now because of health issues. a really exciting time ahead for the dutch. the orange army going all around to her, really feeling confident about their team. in
7:36 pm
around to her, really feeling confident about their team. in the araentina confident about their team. in the argentina against _ confident about their team. in the argentina against australia - confident about their team. in the | argentina against australia match, we can go to live pictures. argentina havejust we can go to live pictures. argentina have just taken the leeds. it is leonel messi, of course. his ioooth it is leonel messi, of course. his ioooth career appearance this evening, one heck of a career. could this be his world cup? good to go on to lift the world cup for him? he is a talisman for them. the argentinian fans are loving this one. they have been dominating possession in this game. 80%. they have broken the deadlock. what have you noticed about the match? will the winner in this one fear the netherlands? you are riaht, this one fear the netherlands? you are right. he _ this one fear the netherlands? you are right. he 5 _ this one fear the netherlands? 7m. are right, he 5 about lionel messi? are right, he s about lionel messi? he has played for the national team for 18 years and when argentina have needed a hero, so many times he's has stepped forward. he is 35, this
7:37 pm
could be his last world cup. when it comes to talking about the greatest players of all time, of people say are you the greatest if you haven't taken the trophy home? we know what i regard the argentinian sold diego maradona. if he was to win this trophy he could even surpass the late, great diego maradona. argentina is one of the best supported teams in doha. in the game against poland, even though he missed a penalty, the adoration he was given was like something i have never seen before. nobody expected australia to beat argentina and it looks like that is going that way. so, all eyes will be at the al—bayt stadium
7:38 pm
tomorrow evening, when it's england's turn to try and make the quarter finals. they take on senegal — the africa cup of nations champions. many of the senegal squad play their domestic football in england, but gareth southgate's side go into the match as favourites. earlier, i spoke to our reporter alex howell, who's in the england camp. the england team have their final full session before they play senegal tomorrow. they might do some tactical work in a meeting room or walk—through scenarios on the pitch, they are getting prepared for this big round of 16 match. gareth southgate has big decisions to make, especially in the attacking areas. he has to decide whether to play marcus rashford, raheem sterling, bukayo saka or phil foden. gareth southgate was speaking today and he he said that having those options isn't necessarily a bad thing. it is a good position to be in. you want your players in confident mood and our forward players are.
7:39 pm
of course, you want to try to make the best possible decision, but in some respects i'm not sure there is a right or wrong. whichever players we start with, we are going to need the bench, we need the strength, and they will offer different attributes and it is trying to get the balance of the team right and make the best possible decisions. a lot of people were saying that harry kane could have been rested in the group stages, struggling with an ankle injury in the run—up to the games. that's right, he was alongside the manager today and all eyes are on him, england's talisman, the biggest goal threat they have in the squad. he won the golden boot at the last world cup. he has been laying on assists, three so far, and set the goal up for phil foden in that
7:40 pm
match against wales. he was asked about his injury and whether his lack of goals has been concerning him so far in the tournament. i've been playing well. the goals are probably what i'm going to be judged on most, but as always, i am calm and i always try to focus on the team and doing my best for the team and i feel i can do that in many ways. i will continue to try to do that. if the goals come, great, it will give us a better chance of winning the game. as a striker, i always want to be scoring goals, for sure. senegal themselves may be without their coach for the match, aliou cisse? he also spent a lot of his career in england.
7:41 pm
he wasn't able to take the training session yesterday. he is suffering with a bit of an illness. he was asked, gareth southgate, about the job he was doing for senegal, and he praised them. they are african champions and it is the first time they have been in the knockout stages of the world cup for 20 years. that assistant who held the press conference has been asked about the issue with the coaching team. translation: , ., , , team. translation: , , translation: yes, he has been sick for a coume — translation: yes, he has been sick for a coume of _ translation: yes, he has been sick for a couple of days. _ translation: yes, he has been sick for a couple of days. he _ translation: yes, he has been sick for a couple of days. he let _ translation: yes, he has been sick for a couple of days. he let us - translation: yes, he has been sick for a couple of days. he let us take . for a couple of days. he let us take charge of training yesterday, obviously with his instructions to the players. hopefully tomorrow he will be able to be on the bench with the players, but we are sure that a 10pm he will be there with the team. senegal offer entered the big challenge. they have a number of players who play top level people
7:42 pm
across europe. gareth southgate has been speaking about what the team needs to be focused and they won't take them lightly. gareth southgate will be hoping that england would be one of the many big upsets we have seen at this tournament. alex howell in doha for us. and later in sportsday, we'll hear from one of england's star players from that last game against wales, phil foden. will he start against senegal or will he back on the bench? we'll hear his thoughts ahead of that match later in the programme. still to come on sportsday: he's back and raring to go — the wbc champion tyson fury takes on dereck chisora in london this evening. to the women's super league now, and there was a new record attendance for manchester united's women at old trafford today. 30,196 fans watched united thrash aston villa 5—0 in the wsl. goals from katie zelem and leah galton gave united a 2—0 lead at the break and england international alessia russo made it three shortly after the restart.
7:43 pm
a stunning strike from ona batlle and an injury—time goal from rachel williams rounded off a dominant performance, one that sent united temporarily top of the wsl table. but chelsea regained their lead at the top, with an astounding 8—0 victory over leicester city. they remain three points ahead, having played a game more than united. arsenal also returned to winning ways with a 1—0 win over everton, vivianne miedema's goal sealing the three points. the championship returned today for one match before the full resumption of the league next week. sunderland moved to within a point of the playoffs after a 3—0 win over millwall. after an uninspiring opening 45 minutes, the black cats cut loose after the break. ellis simms scored their third and final goal in stoppage time, following earlier strikes from amad diallo and alex pritchard. sunderland up to 10th while millwall drop out of the play—off places. to rugby union, gloucester—hartpury and sale have both maintained their 100% record
7:44 pm
in the women's premier 15, with wins against wasps and loughbury respectively. saracens fell to their first defeat of the season, losing 19—10 to harlequins at the stoop. the reigning champions led 10—0 at one stage, but bella mckenzie's incredible solo try gave quins the lead at the break, as they earned a second win of the season. in the premiership, gloucester moved into the top four with a 311—19 win over northampton saints. in a relatively tight first half, this try from santiago carreras gave gloucester the half—time lead, and they secured the bonus point win in the second half, fraser balmain powering his way over the line. northampton drop to fifth in the premiership table. elsewhere in the premiership, london irish moved off the bottom of the table, after a stunning win over newcastle falcons. irish won 39—17. lucio cinti luca with two tries for them. the bonus—point victory ending a run of five straight defeats. and the late game is bristol —
7:45 pm
who are now bottom — against the champions, leicester. there's work to do for england's cricketers, but victory could be in sight, after they took late wickets on day three of their first test against pakistan. it looked as though it was set to be another frustrating day in rawalpindi, as the home side racked up the runs, in pursuit of england's huge total, asjoe wilson reports. test cricket is the battle between ball and bat. guess which is winning in rawalpindi. abdullah shafique passed 100 in control. england trying everything, trying willjacks. edge caught, shafique gone, 225—1. imam—ul—haq was another 100 maker in this record—breaking, bowler—aching match. would he ever make a mistake? well, it turns out, yes, like that, gone. there are a permitted ways to alter the state of the ball — using the sweat onjack leach�*s head a new one. but that's a new ball in leach�*s
7:46 pm
hand, and that's azhar ali out. lbw? yes. next, babarazam, showman, captain, the real thing. on this pitch in these conditions he made his 100, of course he did. that's why matches in pakistan matter. their hero right in front of their eyes. and did they really see babar hit this to a fielder? out. pakistan closed seven down, 158 behind, and he will always believe he can win. joe wilson, bbc news. well, the conditions in rawalpindi have proved tough for the bowlers, leaving the game with perhaps less drama than expected, given this is england's return to pakistan, after 17 years. cricket commentator atif nawaz told me while we've seen some huge scores with the bat, it's left a lot to be desired when it comes to the ball.
7:47 pm
the first four batters on each team scored a hundred, that shows you how friendly the conditions are. early tomorrow, pakistan will either try tomorrow, pakistan will either try to go hard or infant will try to get the wickets quickly, so there will be plenty of time to build a lead and theoretically give themselves a chance to win this game. in and theoretically give themselves a chance to win this game.— and theoretically give themselves a chance to win this game. in terms of wh it has chance to win this game. in terms of why it has been _ chance to win this game. in terms of why it has been so _ chance to win this game. in terms of why it has been so friendly _ chance to win this game. in terms of why it has been so friendly for - chance to win this game. in terms of why it has been so friendly for the i why it has been so friendly for the batters, why is the patch behaving like it is? it batters, why is the patch behaving like it is? , ., , ., ., , like it is? it is a question really for the curators _ like it is? it is a question really for the curators and _ like it is? it is a question really for the curators and the - like it is? it is a question really for the curators and the people like it is? it is a question really - for the curators and the people who made the decision to make this surface that has been described as placid by most of the media. what you want to see as pakistan put their best foot forward. it is 17 years and england visited and a lot of people are watching the series and hoping to see a close contest
7:48 pm
and hoping to see a close contest and high—profile players on both teams. you want to see a competitive game, but they have taken the bowlers generally out of the equation. bowlers generally out of the equation-— bowlers generally out of the equation. bowlers generally out of the euuation. ~ . , ~ equation. what is the return like in terms of its — equation. what is the return like in terms of its reception _ equation. what is the return like in terms of its reception for _ equation. what is the return like in terms of its reception for england? what is it like seeing england back playing in the country? it what is it like seeing england back playing in the country?— what is it like seeing england back playing in the country? it has been wonderful. — playing in the country? it has been wonderful, really. _ playing in the country? it has been wonderful, really. the _ playing in the country? it has been wonderful, really. the fans - playing in the country? it has been wonderful, really. the fans here i playing in the country? it has been wonderful, really. the fans here in pakistan have been so receptive. they have been noisy throughout. even when england were piling on the runs in the first day there was a lot of love and appreciation for their play. he had lots of applause and chanting. there are lots of ink and chanting. there are lots of ink and fancier, as well. i counted 17 england flag scattered around the ground. they were there in good number and the fans here, the people here, the media, the administration, they have all made an effort to be as hospitable as you could imagine.
7:49 pm
pakistanis are renowned for their hospitality anyway, but they have prototype for those visiting. i have heard nothing but positive stories from visiting fans, visiting media. for the team, they may think they lament is because of the security measures they can get to see a lot of the cities, but the journalists and fans cannot bear having a wonderful time. we're just a few hours away till the long—awaited return of tyson fury. tonight, the wbc champion defends his title against derek chisora. it's a fight many think is uncompetitive, given that chisora has twice been beaten by fury before, with many regarding a win for chisora as a huge upset. ade adedoyin spoke to me earlier and said fury will be ready, despite months away from the ring. no, i don't think he will be ring rusty because he said many times in interviews that he always has to stay active, so he remains in training throughout. he also said when he retired, he struggled mentally because he didn't have a target. his target tonight is to beat derek chisora and take forward that wish of the unification
7:50 pm
bout next year. the target should have been anthonyjoshua, but that fight broke down and derek chisora came into the fold. tyson fury won the first one in 2011, and in 2014 he outboxed derek chisora, stopping him in the tenth round. he is a heavy favourite to win this fight but he says he will adopt a different strategy tonight, take the fight to derek chisora, stand toe to toe with him. if he does that, it will be an interesting fight. david haye will be watching, this is how he sees it will pan out. two ways. tyson fury doesn't do what he says and wins a long—range decision on points, or he goes toe to toe and it's a toss of a coin. one is a sensible thing to do, but as tyson fury has
7:51 pm
said a couple of times, sometimes, he doesn't do things that make sense. in his second fight against deontay wilder, he came in with the same tactics and surprised everyone. the second time around, he said he was going to go in for the fight, and he did, and it was one of the best fights i've ever seen. will he do the same thing with derek chisora? it does give derek chisora more chance and a better opportunity to land his big shots. alexander usyk said he's come here to show tyson fury he's serious about this unification bout. interesting tonight, we're fighting outdoors, it's very cool. both fighters will need to stay warm before that opening bell, so they don't get caught cold. the other thing tyson fury has to guard against is complacency. whoever would have thought that saudi arabia would have beaten argentina? tyson fury is a big favourite, but when two big men are throwing leather,
7:52 pm
anything can happen. back to matters qatar now, and injust over 2a hours, england will be getting set to face senegal in the last 16 of the world cup. it's a stage gareth southgate's side are used to, given they made it all the way to the semifinals four years ago. england made light work of wales to top the group. phil foden was among the scorers, after getting his chance to start in the 3—0 win on tuesday this week. he's been talking to kelly somers. it's been a mixed bag, to be honest. it's been up and down. disappointed not to start more games but it is part of the tournament. i'm a team player so ijust want to keep working hard and get the opportunities. i'm just going to try to take them. the big up, tuesday night, how do you reflect on that? i was thinking a lot of lots of scored on the wings so when will be my chance? ijust wanted to get
7:53 pm
on the back post as much as i could thanks to harry kane, what a ball that was from him to find me. i was just there at the back post ready to tap it in. i guess you have had to be patient, is that something you have trained yourself to get used to given how the manager at your club likes to operate, because you do get rotated quite a lot. yes, i'm used to getting rotated a lot of my club and i didn't come here thinking i would walk into the team. there is a lot of quality. i knew in training i would have to show my quality and work hard, and that is just what i try to do, try my best all the time. john stones has been speaking to the media and he was asked about you. he said that you are one of the best players he has seen at your age and he talked about all of your skill set, the freedom you have and things like that, what does that mean to you? i hear that from him and a couple of lads and itjust gives me the confidence to play better and want to do more.
7:54 pm
it is good when the team understands the way you play, it makes yourjob easier. i feel like now people understand how i play and get the best out of me. it makes myjob easier. so much has been said about a brilliant squat mentality in england, but when the competition is that fierce, how does it affect things? i don't think it affects the way people think. we still talk to each other, be each other�*s friends and when we got on the training pitch we all want to start, but it is not possible. to win a world cup, you are always going to need the squad, notjust individual players. you will need people off the bench to change the game. everyone understands that and everyone is ready for it. win or go home. how does the mentality change when you get to the knockouts? i don't think the mentality changes. obviously, people notice
7:55 pm
the pressure more because you can't afford to make mistakes or start a game badly now because you will be sent home. i think there is more added pressure, but the lads have all played on the biggest stages and in the biggest games, so i think everybody will be ready. what are you expecting from senegal, how much have you seen of them? it is a team that we haven't seen too much of, but these next few days we will study them and see what they are about. we know a couple of players that we have played against before, so it is a team that we don't really know about but we will study. i want to ask your hair. at the euros she went full gazza and dyed it. any temptation to steer to do something similar? i don't think so. at the euros i didn't realise how much it messes your hair up! i don't think we'll ever do it again, to be honest.
7:56 pm
it's a pain to get away when you want to change it back. that's all from sportsday. at the moment, argentina still lead australia 1—0. lionel messi with the goal, of course. lionel messi with the goal, of course. we'll have more throughout the evening. hello, there. it's been a pretty cold day across the country, particularly england and wales, where we had a strong easterly wind that made it feel even more bitter, but as we head into part two of the weekend, very little change. it stays cold. we may see a bit more sunshine across northern ireland and scotland as this weather front starts to push back westwards away from the uk, as this huge area of high pressure continues to dominate the scene across much of the
7:57 pm
european continent. we hold on to the easterly breeze as we head through tonight. that will feed in more showers to eastern scotland, eastern england, particularly north—east england. they could have a wintry flavour to them over the higher ground. there are some clearer spells developing western scotland, northern ireland, perhaps western fringes of england and wales, so here likely see a touch of frost, temperatures falling below freezing. where any showers pass into these very cold areas, there could be a risk of ice first thing on sunday. sunday a similar sort of day, but a brighter one, like i mentioned, for much of scotland, northern ireland. still some showers pushing into eastern scotland, eastern england. again, a wintry flavour over the high ground. there will be variable amounts of cloud, a little bit of brightness here and there, probably the best of it, again, across western areas. another chilly day to come with temperatures of five to seven celsius. factor in the wind, though, for england and wales and it will feel colder than that. as we head into monday, subtle changes. the wind direction changes to a more north—easterly and the isobars open out a bit, so i don't think the winds will be as much of a feature to start the new week as what we've had over the weekend. it's still feeding quite a bit
7:58 pm
of cloud, maybe a few showers along the north sea coast. probably the best of the sunshine in towards scotland, northern ireland, again some western fringes. the temperatures could be up a degree or so on monday at seven to maybe nine degrees, but things turning a bit colder across the far north of scotland. that's because we've got a new setup developing as we head deep into next week. high pressure over greenland, low pressure over scandinavia. that will bring a northerly wind and that will start to drag arctic air southwards certainly later on tuesday through wednesday, thursday, friday. that arctic air spreading right across the country as we move towards the end of the week. so that will drive in increasing and frequent snow showers into many northern parts of the uk. we could see some heavy snowfall across northern scotland. it will be very cold both by day and by night. further south, we could see a greater chance of seeing some sunshine in that northerly wind, but some coastal areas will tend to see some wintry showers, as well, so staying very cold next week.
8:00 pm
i'm lewis vaughanjones with the latest bbc news. moscow has warned the european union and the g7 against adopting a price cap on russian oil, saying it would endanger energy security. the $60—a—barrel cap was approved yesterday. washington says the move will restrict revenues for russia's war in ukraine. louisa pilbeam reports. the latest russian missile strike in kharkiv. more destruction and suffering, in a war that is showing no sign of ending. but a move by the g7, the world's seven largest advanced economies, australia and the european union, to cap the price of russian oil, is hoped to bring an end
