coming months. and what is getting no backdrop of itch�*s back up at the italian open? we start with the footballing news, inter milan have overcome ac milan to progress to the champions league final. martinez handed them a 3—0 aggregate victory over both legs. john bennettjoins me. how big psychologically was the 2-0 how big psychologically was the 2—0 victory in the first leg last week? take a monumental effort for milan to get back into it but they did have hope because there was rafael recovered from a thigh injury, they started the game really well.

the first half hour, they put inter under pressure, diaz and hernandez as well and just over half time, rafael leao with an effort that went inches wide from the tight angle, second half different story. one shot on target and then martinez finished the job, he scored with a shot which the goalkeeper should have done better but beat them 1—0 on the night it was always going to be lautaro martinez because no player has scored more goals against ac milan, come back to haunt them again and through to the champions league final, the first since 2010. whoever they take on, how big a chance, because it

looks like they were fully in control this time they would like a team all season. people write them off but i don't think you should, really. yes, they had some really lean years since winning the champions league in 2010, seven years ten years without knockout football because they were knocked out three years in a row in the a group with munich and barcelona and everyone wrote them off. you cannot write this team off. their manager is brilliant in cup competitions and they took over in a really difficult position after they had left, very difficult situation and now he's gotten them into a champions league final, whether it's manchester city, they will be underdogs you cannot write them off. they find out who they face on wednesday when manchester city

take on real madrid. having all but secured another title, are closing a remarkable trouble, the club can reach but to be second champions league finals for the masters of this competition, reigning champions real madrid stand in the way of city and their manager pep guardiola. do you accept this next month could define your teams potential legacy as well of the greatest club teams in modern history? our legacy is already exceptional. it's one of the most important games we have out here, we cannot deny that for the competition, for the rival, for many things, but for the players, it is a huge opportunity and we must enjoy the moment. it's tantalizingly poised after the first leg

in madrid and the hosts taking the lead in before de bruyne�*s superb equaliser secured a draw their preparations took an unexpected turn when the 14 times winners were left temporarily stranded on arrival at manchester airport after their team coach failed to turn up on time, but the manager was not slow to hype up the game. at this moment, we are the best teams in europe and for sure, it will be an exciting game as it was the first leg. manchester city's quest for a first champions league crown, the title they want the most, they want the most, has become one of football's great narratives. such is their domestic domination, there is no real sense that this site represents the best chance to date.

jonny bairstow has returned to the england test squad, but fast bowler archer has been ruled out for the coming months. england take on ireland in a one—off test onjune 1st, and the ashes get under way on the 16th, but archer has a recurrence of a stress fracture in his right elbow. what we remember about jofra archer, the fractions of seconds, the quicker the better. but the work that goes into those moments takes a hard toll. fractured elbow will keep archer out of the ashes this summer. it might even rule him out for longer. he has not played a test match in more than two years. there are fears one of england's most exciting cricketers may never

do so again. it's like a formula one car almost. he go through the period he's been through which is been really tough and then you just get to the point where he can come back and be able to play and there is another setback. you just hope that down the line he will overcome this, the body will get robust enough. to be able to deal with the rigours of everything. england have been successful without archer, and base their cricket on the collective, but there is little doubt australians are breathing easier this evening. he's a very talented bowler, so i think that will obviously be missed. a player of archer's calibre. it's probably better for us if archer is not in there. archer isn't the only england fast bowler to be betrayed by his body. ollie stone is currently out with a hamstring problem. the latest of several injuries he suffered. wood had problems with his elbow and hip.

the rapid mills has long been restricted to short form twenty20 cricket because of his back. fast bowling is a brutal business, contorting the human frame into unnatural positions, forcing many times the body weight through them at impact. at the university they work with the england and wales cricket to better understand the mechanics of bowling and try to find ways of minimising the risks. one of the real big learnings| of the years is understanding how bone operates. bone is a living tissue. sojust like you train - your muscles come you go to the gym, you also - train your bones as well. that is part and parcel with fast bowling. - and there is an optimum - where if you go over the edge, you are much more prone to getting injured. - so workload is a big factor as well. - archer's specific case will require careful treatment, but england haven't given up on him. for inspiration, there is alwastimmy anderson.

to say come on in the face, almost every point basically for the game and, those of the things of the players know that in the locker room, it is not fair play and so, it's not how we treat each other and again, it is allowed and so, i get along with cameron really well all these years that he is been on the tour, and practice with each other and he's very nice guy and i do not understand this kind of attitude on the court, to be honest. the defending champion is due to the women's quarterfinals, 6-3, 6-4, to the women's quarterfinals, 6—3, 6—4, and will face the wimbledon champion in the last eight. magnus court has one at the duo did tally up. he surged to victory on stage ten after
