you are watching bbc news. now it's time for sportsday, with hugh ferris. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm hugh ferris. the headlines this evening: half an hour any, how are these fans feeling about england's last 16 match at the world cup? two for himself, setting the other up for a record—breaker. kylian mbappe is taking this world cup, like the last one, by storm. england's first test against pakistan set for an exciting climax after day four in rawalpindi.

hello again. for all the confidence that greets the build—up to a major tournament knockout game, it never —— inevitably, it makes way for nervousness once the match starts and so it is for england fans watching their match in the last 16 of the world cup in qatar against senegal. so let's go to the al—bayt stadium. much like the rest of us, you are keeping one eye on everything around you and one eye on the television, one eye on your phone or indeed an ear to the stadium to hear what is going on. what have we seen so far, your assessment of the first 33 minutes? yes, the fact you have said that is a good thing i have got four eyes. england should win this one because if we look at it on paper, england probably have the better team, senegal ranked 18th in the world. 13 places below england. naturally, the first half is not going that way. 35

minutes have gone and the two best chances have fallen to senegal, jordan pickford did really well in a few minutes ago getting a strong hand to a shotjust inside the six yard box. we know that england have looked stronger during the group stage, but this is knockout football now, and it is a one—off and senegal seem to be going for it. it is worth saying if it is 0—0 on the pitch, certainly in the stands, 1—0 to senegal, you almost have to see it to believe it, it is almost like a sea of energy, drums and trumpets and you name it, senegal are definitely making a noise. one of the loudest teams, if not the biggest numbers, the louder supporters we have seen so far. so still 0—0 and i think lots of people thought maybe it would be an easy game for england, it is not proving that way. the long it goes on like this, people start mentioning the dreaded p word and that is penalties. still a long way to go, but cynical, stronger i think then lots of people thought they would

very much, it is indeed england zero, senegalzero. very much, it is indeed england zero, senegal zero. the less time senegal reached the knockout stage, it was a shock win over the then world champions france, but in 2002, kylian mbappe was not in the french team. after beating 3—1 in poland earlier today, they will face england or senegal in the quarter finals. olly foster was at the match. after navigating the craziness of the qatar group stages, the world champions could turn up the volume. and they had every reason to be confident. the french have never lost a match in the last 16 at a world cup, and their team selection shows they're leaving nothing to chance against poland. they made nine changes in their last match — happily for them, an irrelevant defeat to tunisia. those were the french impressionists last week, this was a more accurate likeness of les bleus. poland's progress has been largely down to their keeper, wojciech szczesny. he had a busy first half.

in a few seconds, the poles looked more attacking than they had done at any point over the past few weeks. that scare sharpened french minds. and they got the half—time lead they deserved. giroud becomes france's record goal—scorer. olivier giroud scored his 52nd france goal, overtaking thierry henry. it's a record that kylian mbappe might one day hold. he provided the assist for that goal. mbappe, inevitable. but this one was all his. and so was this one. he was just a teenager when he scored in the last world cup final, and his five goals so far in qatar have taken the french one step closer to another one. a late polish penalty tucked away by robert lewandowski tempered the french celebration slightly, and they had a few defensive lapses that a better side would be able to exploit.

but in next saturday's quarterfinal, they will be favourites and they should be feared. you're watching sportsday. here are some of our other headlines. staying with the world cup, and neymar will return to the brazil team for their last—16 match against south korea. the forward was forced off in their opening game against serbia with a sprained ankle, and having sat out since, brazil coach tite says he's ready to play tomorrow. neymar�*s most famous predecessor in the brazil number 10 shirt, pele, says he's "strong, with a lot of hope", as he undergoes treatment in hospital in sao paulo. in a statement released on saturday, he said, "every message of love i receive from you all over the world keeps me full of energy." reading moved seven points clear of the women's super league relegation zone after beating tottenham hotspur1—nil, thanks to amy turner's own goal. and liverpool claimed their first win since the opening day of the season. they beat west ham united 2—nil at home, thanks to goals from ceri holland and katie stengel.

in the day's other match, manchester city beat brighton 3—1. england have delivered on their pre—series promise about not wanting any draws against pakistan, and the first test in rawalpindi is set for an exciting final day because of it. after more fireworks with the bat — and a bold declaration — the tourists lead by 262 after day four, which was watched byjoe wilson. day four in rawalpindi began with pakistan batting and time disappearing. finally, all out for 579, thanks to the bowling of willjacks, a last—minute selection, really a batter. he took six wickets on his debut. keep watching... carefully, because now it was england's second innings, trying to extend their lead in the middle rapidly. joe root�*s trick shot — still a thrill to see that in a test match, unless you're bowling. almost amusing. here's the same root playing left—handed. attacking, planning,

how many did england need? harry brook scored quickly and elegantly, the very essence of new england. on course for england's fastest ever 100 until...still, job done. england declared 3112 ahead and gave themselves a chance to win — and pakistan a chance, too. tempting. one down in their second innings. then babar azam, the captain, the man, edged, gone. 80—2, one day left, the match is alive. joe wilson, bbc news. ex—england international alex hartley is part of the bbc�*s team in rawalpindi and told me we've witnessed another part of england's new test match mentality. they've said they want test cricket to be entertaining and anybody that has watched this test match or will watch tomorrow will be entertained because anything can happen. all three results are on the line.

and if england win, it's going to be remarkable and people will remember that declaration. if they lose, they will come out in the press and say, it's only a game of cricket, we tried something new. they want test cricket to be entertaining and i guess they are still learning on the fine lines of what is entertainment and what is a bold declaration, so be it. and that's the setup, alex, what about the denouement, the final day, how is it going to go? because as you say, the likelihood is pakistan chase this down, they have enough time, but england will have other ideas. i think if pakistan play so—called normal test cricket, they should win — chasing three and over is possible, it is doable. it is a very flat surface. we have seen itjust starting to turn a little bit, we have seen england will go to the short balls, we have seenjimmy anderson bowl bouncers, we have not seen him do that in such a long time.

i think england might win because pakistan will get into a decent position and then say, hang on, we are normally trying to draw at this stage, now we are trying to win. i think england are so, so confident, they will think they can win from anywhere. and it seems it is mind over matter, as test cricket often can be, particularly on a final day. yet it is the reverse of the traditional mind over matter, it is not being worried about something and collapsing, it is almost having the mentality, the strength of it that takes you through to a victory. yes. takes you through to a victory. yes, of course. — takes you through to a victory. yes, of course. and _ takes you through to a victory. yes, of course, and it _ takes you through to a victory. yes, of course, and it is _ takes you through to a victory. yes, of course, and it is that _ takes you through to a victory. yes, of course, and it is that fear - takes you through to a victory. 133 of course, and it is that fear of failure. i think a lot of this team now don't mind failing. ben stokes and brendan mccole in the head coach have said, every time you bat, you get out, you are going to fail. it is cricket, if we lose, so be it, but we want to give ourselves the best chance of winning. england declared, they had a total that is traceable and they gave themselves what they think is enough time to ball pakistan out. tyson fury says he might need

elbow surgery possibly, delaying a heavyweight unification fight with oleksandar usyk, now on the cards after fury successfully defended his wbc title. he beat fellow briton derek chisora with a brutal stoppage that came at the end of a fight in which chisora was hurt repeatedly. the referee waved it off in the 10th round, in front of nearly 60,000 people at the tottenham hotspur stadium in london. fury maintains his unbeaten record and called out both another british fighter, joejoyce, and usyk afterwards. i'm ready and willing to take on oleksandar usyk next, whether it is in saudi arabia or back here in the uk. both places will be fantastic. and let's give the fans one champion, one name, one face. usyk is up for the challenge, he came over tonight so fair play to him. he is not an easy boxer to figure out, he is a slick southpaw mover with very good skills, olympic gold

medallist, and is coming on good form so really looking forward to the challenge. kenya's kelvin kiptum and ethiopia's amane beriso have become the third—fastest men's and women's marathon runners in history, with victory in valencia. kiptum, who's only 23, completed his debut race in two hours, one minute, 53 seconds. that's just 12 seconds slower than the second—best time and 44 seconds off eliud kipchoge's world record. beriso looked on track to break the world record of kenya's brigid kosgei, before slowing late in the race and missing it by 5a seconds, finishing in two hours, 1a minutes, 58 seconds. 44 minutes and ten seconds have gone ning lead's match with senegal and about five minutes ago, jordan henderson gave england the lead. a pull back down the left—hand side from jude bellingham and henderson tucked in for his fourth international goal and it is england leading withjust half international goal and it is england leading with just half a minute to go until the end of the 45 minutes,

this world cup will tell as there may be a few minutes of injury time before half—time. and france are awaiting the winners of that england and senegal last 16 match after their 3—1 win over poland. this was how the goal from jordan henderson was greeted at the fan park in wembley. it will not surprise you to see that there is some drink being thrown. by those england fans. but they are enraptured byjordan henderson's goal. a rare goalfrom a player who was selected in this midfield, it means so much to gareth southgate alongside jude midfield, it means so much to gareth southgate alongsidejude bellingham, who set up henderson for that goal and also declan rice, but with half—time approaching, at the al—bayt stadium, it is england one, senegal zero. that is all, the coverage continues on the bbc sport website and radio 5 live. let's hope there is better news or still the

same news later in the evening when
