is the new global head of soccer at red bull. and novak djokovic sails through in shanghai with an historic 100th atp tour title in his sights. hello there, welcome along to the programme. now, it is an incredible achievement, and he says there is more to come. joe root is now england's leading test match run scorer of all time. now, he finished the day in multan on an unbeaten 176, but it's his total test run figure that has made the headlines. he has now surpassed

alastair cook's tally surpassing the previous best of sir alastair cook. and finally, he now stands alone as england's most prolific test batter, ending day three in multan on 12,578 runs. now, at 33 years of age, root is now fifth on the all—time run scorers�* list. he is 3,348 runs behind the indian legend sachin tendulkar, who is top of the pile there. so after passing that english record with an impressive knock, how was he feeling?

tired, more than anything. it's been a long day. but, yeah, obviously proud, but still feel there's plenty more left to do, um, and many more runs to get. so, um, i'm sure i'll look back at it at some point, when i'm finished, and be very proud of it. but i think more than anything, just the way that we played today, as a team, is what stands out. so everyone went out and played exactly how we wanted to. we used the pitch, we took the scoreboard pressure out of the situation and got ourselves back in a really good position. it has been a special day for the entire root family. joe's brother, billy — the glamorgan batter — got married. now, his father, matt, obviously very proud of both of his sons. forjoe, he gave credit to some of the elite cricketers who have helped him and inspire him to reach this point. obviously, it means a lot to be england's highest ever test run scorer. um, but for him, he's not really a milestone sort of a player.

you know, hejust... he just bats. hejust wants... the first objective, always, will be to try and win the game and score as many runs as possible to try and facilitate that. he's always been surrounded by really good role models. um, uh, michael vaughan played at our club. um, alastair cook, whose record he beat today, was a great source of inspiration for him. and can ijust say how magnanimous cooky was when he, when he went past the record. um, so, yeah, he's always been surrounded by the right type of people, i think. and ben stokes is another great example of, um, you know, the sort of player that really wants to win the game above all else. if he stays fit, there's no reason he couldn't even beat tendulkar, because i think his love for the game is such that, um, the motivation will be there. but it's whether or not, you know, he's, um, he's 3a, in december, which isn't really old for a batsman, but, um, who knows? you know, if he can stay fit, there's no reason he couldn't go on to beat tendulkar. now, away from cricket, into football, the former liverpool and dortmund manager jurgen klopp — there he is —

well, he is back in football, after being appointed the new global head of soccer at red bull. he left liverpool at the end of last season, after almost eight years in charge. but a number of dortmund fans are unhappy with the deal. red bull own rb leipzig in germany, and they've been criticised for bypassing the bundesliga's rule that states that fans have to have a majority of the ownership. earlier, my colleague jane dougall spoke to seb stafford—bloor — european football writer for the athletic, who's based in hamburg — and began by asking him how bad the reaction has been to klopp�*s decision. vicious, vicious. some of it has been, i would say, a little bit emotional. uh, people have talked about him tearing down... i'm going to paraphrase. ..about him tearing down his sandcastles, ruining his legacy. as some people have said, he's sort of reframed who he is in relation to the club, in terms of what he means to people. um, it's difficult. it's still clearly very raw.

and i suppose also, like, jurgen klopp, from a german perspective, no—one more popular in footballing terms. if you were to sit through an average bundesliga matchday on television, you wouldn't be able to avoid him on tv, in advertising breaks. he's endorsing financial management companies and personalfitness regimes and equipment and beers. so klopp is this transcendent personality, who everybody has a little bit of a grasp on, everybody feels is sort of the acceptable face of football, whereas leipzig are very much the dark heart. um, and obviously, that goes to the red bull network as a whole. so with all of that in mind, seb, um, there is reportedly a clause in klopp's contract where if the german national job were to become available, then he would be able to apply for it. would that be possible, then, with all of this vitriol that you're telling us about? i think what's worth remembering is, we are talking

two years down the line. there is next to no chance at all thatjulian nagelsmann vacates that position before 2026, when his current contract runs out, which would be after the next world cup. so we'll see where klopp is in the kind of public conscience. and also, i think this goes back to what he's actually going to be doing as part of this new role. how involved is he, how relevant is he going to be in the kind of the rb news cycles? how prominent a figure is he going to be within club business? these things are yet to be revealed. and you wonder, because this is a double—edged sword, on the one hand, klopp�*s popularity in his type of celebrity allows him to be transcendent, allows him to appeal to people who have very little interest in football day—to—day. so does that mean, for instance, that because those people don't have, um, you know, any issue with red bull or they don't follow the game in a way which allows them to have that same animus that a kind of, you know, a season ticket—holding, regular match—going fan would, does that mean that it's kind of irrelevant? these things will have to be seen in time.

now to a proud moment for this man, becausejohn stones will captain england in their nations league game against greece on thursday. with harry kane not fit enough to start, the manchester city defender will lead the side out at wembley. stones has played more than 80 times for england, having made his debut in 2014, against peru. an incredible moment for me and, um, it's a bit more, a bit more normal, actually, today. everything resumes as normal. the preparation, the, um, the training that we've done, and our focus is the same. so, yeah, to be walking out with the armband on is an absolute honour and one that i'll cherish forever. now, staying with manchester city, and their women's team have begun their champions league campaign with a really impressive 2—0 win over reigning champions barcelona. city got their reward for what was a strong start

when naomi layzell poked them into the lead — that was on her european debut. barcelona, well, they pushed hard for an equaliser, but with 20 minutes to go, khadija — or bunny — shaw, as she's known, made sure of the result with a composed finish, condemning the catalan side to just their second defeat in their last 55 competitive matches. so here are all of wednesday night's results. pernille harder scored a hat trick, as bayern munich saw off arsenal 5—2 in germany. juventus won 1—0 at norwegian side valerenga. while in manchester city's group, hammarby beat saint polten 2—0. to tennis, and novak djokovic has moved a step closer to a landmark 100th atp tour title, with a dominant performance at the shanghai masters. the 37—year—old reached the quarterfinals with a 6—3, 6—1win over russia's

roman safiullin. the 24—time major champion is aiming to become only the third man — afterjemmy connors and roger federer — to clock up a century of tournament victories. the serb will face czech teenagerjakub mensik in the quarterfinals. now, staying in china, and the top seed, aryna sabalenka, and jessica pegula are both through to the last 16 of the wuhan 0pen. sabalenka booked her place by beating katerina siniakova in straight sets for what was her 50th victory this year. she will face kazakhstan�*s yulia putintseva in the next round on thursday. pegula progressed when her opponent retired injured in the second set. and finally, staying with tennis, a nearly 150—year—old tradition is set to come to an end, with the announcement that line judges will no longer be used at wimbledon.

starting from next year, live electronic line calling will be in place at the championships instead. the technology reacts within one tenth of a second of the ball landing on court. it's already being used at both the australian and us 0pens. details on all of those stories and plenty more on the bbc sport website and app. but from myself, paul scott, and the whole team, thank you for watching. we'll see you next time. hello. 0ur weather has started to turn a little bit cooler. you might have noticed the change, and the trend is set to continue as well. well, here in north yorkshire, we had signs of the change, waves being driven onto the beaches here by the strengthening north to north—easterly wind. temperatures on tuesday in rhyl got up to 17 degrees,

but it was just 12 on wednesday, a drop of some five degrees celsius. the drop in temperatures came as these northerly winds worked in. now, over the next few hours, we've still got some patches of cloud and rain to come across england and wales, with clearing skies further north in scotland and northern ireland. and it's here where we'll have the chilliest start to the day on thursday. temperatures low enough even for a nip of frost in sheltered glens in scotland. so starting the day on thursday, expect a bit of damp weather for southern parts of england and wales. that should clear out of the way as we go through the morning, and then elsewhere, loads of sunshine draped around coastal fringes. there'll be a scattering of showers, and they'll tend to come and go, really, through the day. a chilly wind? yes. temperatures below where they've been over recent days, 10—12 celsius. although cooler, these temperatures are actually a little bit closer to average for the time of year. now, the colder weather is still going to be with us into friday. indeed, we could have a touch of frost to start the day across southern portions of england and wales.

further north in scotland, cloud will thicken on friday as a weather system moves in, bringing some outbreaks of rain. some of that rain could just about skirt into the far north of northern ireland, but further south in england and wales, it's going to be a beautiful day with barely a cloud in the sky. for the weekend, still some rain left over from this area of low pressure affecting northern areas. sunday looks to be the better of the two days of the weekend as high pressure builds in. so saturday, some rain around across northern ireland, scotland, northern areas of england, and accompanying that rain, there'll be some pretty strong and gusty winds. another blast of northerly air coming down, really dropping those temperatures, just seven or eight degrees for northern scotland. for northern ireland, england and wales, meanwhile, we're looking at temperatures around 11 to 1a degrees, which is pretty close to average. as that high pressure builds in, though, for the second half of the weekend, we're looking at a cold start to the morning, a few mist and fog patches, but a mostly dry day with sunny spells coming and going. temperatures for most of us

between around 10—13 degrees. bye for now.
