7:32 pm

7:33 pm
there. gareth southgate described the mood at their team hotel this morning as flat. they have touched down in the last hour at birmingham airport, sought the squad of 25 are going their separate ways. but this is a group of players that really shouldn't be vilified, because they went toe to toe with the reigning world champions, the french. this is termed this morning, our last sight of the england team after the three orfour of the england team after the three or four weeks of the england team after the three orfour weeks here in carter, as they left their team base. gareth southgate says this is a group of players we should be excited about. he said the are consistently feeding at the top table of european and world football. of course, since he took over, they got to the semifinal of the last world cup, then the final of the european championship. is this a step backwards? not when
7:34 pm
you consider how they were beaten by. southgate himself, he will take stock of his position. he has been in charge for six years. he has another couple of years on his contract. that would equal bobby robson's time in charge, if he sees it through. any longer, you have to go back to alf ramsey, and we know what he did with the england team. but gareth southgate will bid for all the emotions to settle before deciding what to do next. i want to make the right decision, whatever that is, for the team, for england, for the fa, and i've got to be sure that whatever decision i make is the right one, and i think it's right to take a bit of time to do that, because i know in the past, how my feelings have fluctuated in the immediate aftermath of tournaments.
7:35 pm
he said that after russia and also the euros last year. did your day shop on the opposite dugout was full of praise for england. they're really impressed in. she said when you look at the technical ability, their intention even though we put up their intention even though we put up a good fight, england were sold, so good. and i'm sure that southgate will take that on board with this group of players. i spoke to alan shearer, who knows what it is like to come home from major tournaments. i asked them what level of criticism this england team might expect. normally, when you get dumped out of the tournament, then you can hear the criticism from miles away, but that's not the case now, because i think they played well. they have excited us in the tournament, they got everyone behind them. and when you get knocked out of the tournament, so long as you can look in the mirror and say, i actually gave everything, and it just wasn't to be. i think that england squad can do that. i think they can all be
7:36 pm
proud of themselves. they will be hurting like hell for a while, and i get that and i understand that, but they gave everything, and i think that's the most important thing. england were up against a really good french team, with some exciting players, but we played well, created chances. we just didn't have the luck. the referee didn't help us. the ball didn't bounce our way. yes, of course, the missed penalty from harry, which will haunt him for the rest of his life, unfortunately. but he will want to get back out on the football pitch straight away, because that is the life of a forward, the life of a person that takes responsibility. it's tough, it is difficult. he will be hurting like the rest of the players, but they can be proud of their achievements. itjust wasn't to be on the night. do you think the core of that team will be a team that can deliver? yeah, i think that's
7:37 pm
what you have got to look at. you have got to look to the future and say, 0k, how well you have done. it doesn't guarantee automatic success, but they will look at it and say, with that core, with another couple in there who will come through in the next 18 months or so, it shouldn't be all doom and gloom. we've got hopefully a bright future ahead. and it is some exciting times. yes, this hurts us as fans, and also the players and management, it hurts. but they have given everything, and itjust wasn't to be. looking forward to the euros in 18 months. we will go into the tournament as one of the favourites. that can only be a good thing. that is all for now. when i come back, ronaldo has broken his silence
7:38 pm
after portugal's defeat to morocco. thanks, olly. the second test between pakistan and england is beautifully poised heading into the fourth day. the hosts need 157 more runs to win, while england need six more wickets. if england pull it off it will be only their third series win in pakistan. ben croucher reports. day three, england batting. expect entertainment and runs. belted off the back of brook, wasting little time to get to his second test century. a happy harry for england? there is one at least. but batting pakistan out of this series, that was more problematic. more followed, as england lost the remaining four wickets before lunch to set the home side 355 to win. more than two days to do it, as well. challenge accepted.
7:39 pm
hold the pose, stand and admire. orjust stare in disbelief as not once, not twice, but three times england tickled the timbers. not that pakistan saw the funny side of it. the last laugh? that could still be theirs. both batters made half centuries to chip away at that target. all in for 60 to leave this one right in the balance. whoever wants to win it will have to work for it. that is why they call it a test. manchester city played out a 1—1 draw against their neighbours and top—three rivals manchester united at etihad stadium in front of the second largest crowd in women's super league history. it leaves city fourth in the table, three points behind second—placed united after nine games. craig templeton reports. for a footballing rivalalry that is all about location,
7:40 pm
it's fitting that manchester derby returns to the etihad for the first time in three years. there has been a gulf between these sides since this fixture came into existence. leah galton clearly wants to narrow it. she started this attack and then finished it. fabulous, flowing move! and it surely would have been two if it wasn't for the concentration of the defender, telling her team—mates to follow suit. but it was united who should have been listening. a mistake at the front post left laura coombs in space. that is the equaliser. laura coombs! with that goal, the pace of the game ramped up. city's top scorer could only find the hand of the goalkeeper. but it was the hand of their former captain that united were most concerned with. they thought that this from alex greenwood was a penalty. the referee disagreed. and that meant that mark skinner's
7:41 pm
side are still without a league win against the city. but this performance and the table shows that these neighbours are getting closer. arsenal came from behind against aston villa to win 4—1 and jump back above manchester united to second on the table. they were level on points with leaders chelsea, who are in action right now two games were postponed because of the weather. west ham beat tottenham 2—0 to move up to 5th on the table. and as you can see, chelsea are leading three nil against reading. that would mean that they would have a three—point lead at the top of the table, if it finishes like that. rangers have won the scottish women's premier league cup for the first time, beating record holders hibs 2—0 at tynecastle. lizzie arnot�*s spectacular strike from the edge of the area gave rangers the lead
7:42 pm
in the first half, and substitute kirsty howat secured the win for rangers against the seven—time winners, adding this trophy to the league title they won last season. there were two games in the championship today. promotion hopefuls watford played out a goalless draw against struggling hull city at vicarage road. earlier, johann berg gudmundsson�*s free kick was the pick of the goals as burnley beat queens park rangers 3—0 at loftus road. the win moves the clarets three points clear of sheffield united at the top of the table. earlier, english premiership leaders saracens had to battle hard to beat edinburgh 30—26 at stonex stadium. sarries captain owen farrell played a pivotal role in the comeback win. the england fly half kicked his side into the lead. he also pulled off a cruicial try saving tackle as edinburgh were threatening to take the lead for a third time. tom woolstencroft�*s try secured the bonus point for saracens
7:43 pm
with edinburgh going on to claim a losing bonus point. leicester also had to come behind to beat ospreys 2317. anthony watson at the start of the match for the tigers. that lung bursting run ending with the pick of the four tries that the teams shared. in pool b, sale ran in six tries in a 39—0 bonus point win over ulster at the a] bell stadium. the du preez brothers were stars of the show with tries for dan and rob, who also kicked nine points. and that's the round up from the bbc sport centre. let's head back to qatar and join olly foster. it was just over 2a hours ago, that amazing win for morocco against portugal. we saw cristiano ronaldo
7:44 pm
bawling his eyes out, the first down the tunnel. we were waiting for this. she has surfaced on social media. yesterday, the dream ended, i just wanted everyone to know that much is being said, much has been written, much has been speculated, but my dedication to portugal has not changed. i was always one more person fighting for everyone�*s goal. thank you portugal, thank you qatar. the dream was beautiful while it lasted. has he retired from international football? we do lasted. has he retired from internationalfootball? we do not come at the age of 37, is that that will be his fifth and final world cup. wouldn't it be lovely that we were still talking about england here at this world cup? we are down to the final four. we are going to be building up to the semifinals. the first of them on tuesday, croatia against argentina. and then morocco against france. some fantastic matches to look forward to. that's all for now. next up on
7:45 pm
