hello, i'm olly foster, here's what's coming up on sportsday. will it be a good friday for scotland? they are playing the matildas right now. we matildas right now. will have the latest for you. rory mcilroy needs to up his game at the masters to stay in touch with the early leaders. and putting their friendship to the test... the british judoka now vying for one place at the paralympics. hello and welcome along. hello there, it's a really busy afternoon of football this good friday, could be a memorable day in the championship

for burnley, but let's start with an international game that's underway, scotlands women are in london for a friendly against australia. they kicked off in the last 15 minutes. this match is being played at afc wimbledon�*s cherry reds records stadium. you can follow this on the bbc website. the matildas are missing key players. very early stages, a lovely sunny day in south london. it is goalless. we will keep an eye on that one and tell you if there has been a goal in the next few minutes. australia's next match is on tuesday night against england at brentford. the lionesses are now 30 games unbeaten under their coach sarina wiegman, but they were pushed really close by brazil at a sold—out wembley stadium. ella toone gave england the lead, but the south american champions equalised in injury time and the game was decided on penalties, england coming through the shootout 4—2. everything has changed. when i'm talking to you now, it's like i

expect us to win these games, you know? before it was, let's see if we can get over the line. so yeah, i think it's quite nice, really. almost a year on and we are in this position where we are filling out wembley again and very proud to be english. we wembley again and very proud to be enalish. ~ ., , wembley again and very proud to be enalish. ~ . , . ., english. we were really challenged, a hiuh english. we were really challenged, a high press — english. we were really challenged, a high press and _ english. we were really challenged, a high press and very _ english. we were really challenged, a high press and very aggressive - english. we were really challenged, | a high press and very aggressive and thars— a high press and very aggressive and that's what— a high press and very aggressive and that's what we need. yeah, that's what _ that's what we need. yeah, that's what we _ that's what we need. yeah, that's what we need to be aware of those moments — what we need to be aware of those moments and how can we do better? if you are _ moments and how can we do better? if you are not _ moments and how can we do better? if you are not challenging in those moments — you are not challenging in those moments and it starts at the world cup, moments and it starts at the world cup. them — moments and it starts at the world cup, then, yeah, well... then you didn't_ cup, then, yeah, well... then you didn't have — cup, then, yeah, well... then you didn't have that practice. so it's a game _ didn't have that practice. so it's a game you — didn't have that practice. so it's a game you want to win but it's also practice _ game you want to win but it's also practice. you take from every game teamings _ practice. you take from every game learninas. ,, ., learnings. staying with the international _ learnings. staying with the international football. .. i wales women beat northern ireland 4—1 at the cardiff city stadium. 6,800 were watching, which is a record crowd for a wales women home friendly. they were rewarded with a comfortable win. rachel rowe scored their fourth.

wales were playing at home for the first time since narrowly missing out on qualifying for the world cup. to the championship. burnley can get promoted to the premier league later today. the leaders are 11 points clear at the top and if 4th placed luton fail to beat millwall in the early kick—off, then victory for the clarets this evening at middlesbrough in third would see them secure a return to the top division with seven games to spare. are luton going to play ball? it is goalless in their match at half—time. sheffield united are also chasing automatic promotion, and face bottom side wigan at three o'clock. could be some movement in the bottom three. if huddersfield win, then any of qpr, reading or cardiff could drop into the relegation zone. it could be a very, very nervy afternoon in the championship. the second round of

the masters is just underway. there's a three—way tie at the top, victor hovland, brooks koepka and jon rahm all sitting on 7—under. tee off times have been brought forward with thunderstorms forecast for later. rory mcilroy hopes that will will work in his favour after a frustrating first round saw him go round in par. from augusta, here's our sports correspodnent andy swiss. he'd arrived with so much hope, but for rory mcilroy it was a largely frustrating first round. commentator: he will kick himself. just too many errors. yes, he held his nerve on the final hole, but some seven shots behind the leaders, he is already playing catch—up. it's not disastrous, but ijust need to sort of tidy it all up. but i didn't feel i was too far away today. i made five birdies. butjust a couple or too many mistakes on the card. rory mcilroy has a lot of work to do if he is to have any chance of winning that elusive masters title, not least because others here have been setting a scintillating pace.

sharing the lead are viktor hovland, jon rahm and, most intriguingly, brooks koepka, one of the rebels from the liv golf tour, perhaps with a point to prove. tiger woods has his work cut out. a few glimpses of the old magic but he is already nine behind the leaders. justin rose was the pick of the british challengers. a few perfect putts and he isjust four off the pace. but one of the shots of the day was from an amateur. america's sam bennett showing the professionals exactly how it's done. commentator: how about this? here are a few of the selected tee times. there's mcilroys group, he needs a quick start. victor hovland and jon rahm are among the last to go out, so those thunderstorms could be a factor.

cricket and ireland have lost their one—off test against bangladesh by seven wickets in dhaka. the tourists resumed their second innings on 286—8 but could only add six runs on the morning of day 4. that left bangladesh needing 138 for victory which they reached with ease. ireland now head to sri lanka for a two test series. it's the second day of the county championship, much better weather today, there's play in all five matches. champions surrey have made a really strong start at old trafford against lancashire. cameron steel reached his century early on day two, the aussie was unbeaten on mi as they posted a42 in theirfirst innings. lancashire's response has seen luke wells and captain keatonjennings reach 28 without loss before lunch. jennings survived two lbw appeals in successive balls before lancashire had even put a run on the board.

surrey lead by a14 runs. you can get the latest on the bbc sport website. we're now into the clay court season on the tennis circuit. everything is building towrds the french open at the end of next month. british number 2 dan evans is playing his quarter—final at the grand prix hassan in marrakech. he has won it. he's up against italy's andrea vavassori. he won the first set 6—3. the second 7—5. evans had been on a really bad run before this tournament, he hadn't won a match since the australian open in january. paralympicjudo champion chris skelley, has a new rival — his best friend jack hodgson. there have been classification and weight category changes in the sport, and that means that skelley and hodgson, who train and room together, now have to compete against each other, and there's only one spot at next year's games in paris.

hundreds of extra police have been brought in for events which culminate with a visit to belfast by us president biden on wednesday. a short time ago, my colleague lucy hocking spoke to denis murray, a former bbc ireland correspondent, who said although it had been relatively peaceful since the deal was signed in 1998, there were still some big issues to be decided. just a few days ago, the overall threat level here was raised, as you might remember, and then the police chief constable simon byrne made a point of saying very publicly yesterday, as hughes said, that dissident might stage street disturbances in order to draw police in so they could be attacked or to allow for attacks to take place elsewhere. if you remember, just a few weeks ago, dissident republicans tried to murder a police officer in a leisure centre where he was taking schoolboy football. the thing about

these republicans is they are very much a hangover from the trouble that were meant to end with the good friday agreement. as are the loyalist paramilitaries. there is a mini feud going on in a townjust outside belfast between two wings of a group called the ulster defence association and it is a row over drug dealing. so none of these problems have completely gone away. but nobody really wants these people around and nobody wants a return to the troubles because they were awful and may be younger people don't rememberjust how awful and may be younger people don't remember just how awful they were but they were truly awful. the rememberjust how awful they were but they were truly awful.— but they were truly awful. the good friday agreement _ but they were truly awful. the good friday agreement touches - but they were truly awful. the good friday agreement touches every - friday agreement touches every aspect of life in northern ireland but we haven't seen a devolved government since february of 2022, so how are people feeling as this anniversary is marked over the next few days? br; anniversary is marked over the next few da s? j . anniversary is marked over the next few da s? �*y . ., anniversary is marked over the next fewda s? �*y . ., , anniversary is marked over the next fewda s? j . . , ., few days? by and large, they want devolution back, _

unresolved, like the legacy of the troubles, with a lot of my colleagues who thinks nothing will be achieved in northern ireland until legacy is resolved. dennis, what are your — until legacy is resolved. dennis, what are your thoughts, - until legacy is resolved. dennis, what are your thoughts, a - until legacy is resolved. dennis, what are your thoughts, a lot i until legacy is resolved. dennis, what are your thoughts, a lot of| what are your thoughts, a lot of people suggesting today or talking about the fact this political vacuum just creates an environment where violence can fester, would you agree with that?

executive would continue to function and to run ministries and to take decisions. i think, and to run ministries and to take decisions. ithink, while and to run ministries and to take decisions. i think, while the good friday agreement solved the problem at the time, it is not written in tablets of stone and i think now there has to be change in order to bring it up to date.— bring it up to date. dennis murray there. passengers travelling through dover are being warned they'll face delays, as millions of travellers are expected make the crossing between france and the uk this weekend. contingency plans have been put in place to avoid a repeat of last week, which saw drivers waiting more than ill hours. doug bannister is the ceo of the port of dover. he spoke to my colleague samantha simmonds. we had — we always knew that this weekend was going to be about 30% lower for coaches than last weekend. but we've taken further measures and working with our ferry operators and in turn, them working with their coach customers to try and smooth that demand. now, i know how difficult it can be for the coach industry
