the winds because it looks about the winds because it looks like we could see some winds. the amber warning is still at this stage gusts up to 80 miles an hour. please don't make this the last four as you watch or listen to jane. that is it and we will have more at ten o'clock of course but right now let's join our colleagues wherever you are. have a super evening. goodbye for now. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm jane dougall. england caught in a spin in multan, as pakistan win their first home test for three years and level the series. "they didn't ask me" — eddie howe confirms he wasn't approached for the england job by the fa. so would a german have

been his first choice? i have always said, and i've been very clear on this whenever i have been asked years and years, my preference would have been for an english coach. more black managers are needed, but the government needs to get serious to address the issue. we hear from former premier league manager chris hughton. also coming up on sportsday: practice is under way in austin — can lando norris keep the pressure on the red bulls? we'll build up to the us grand prix. hello and welcome to the programme. ben stokes lost his head at his players and then lost his bat as england were defeated in the second test against pakistan. this time last week, remember, they were celebrating that record—breaking win, but earlier today — on the same pitch —

england floundered. pakistan beat them by 152 runs, ending their winless run on home soil and setting up an intriguing series decider in rawalpindi. joe wilson was watching. there is always hope at the start of the day — just get to 297 and england would win. 0llie pope lasted four minutes. pakistan had prepared for this — dismissals with style. pope was just the first. within 20 minutes of play, joe root had gone lbw. and any england fan knew the significance of that. the whole match had been set up for pakistan's spin bowlers and the england strategies — harry brook here — were failings. the word around multan seemed to spread quick — pakistan might win a test. of course, england's captain was resisting, ben stokes executing the technique there on his return to cricket. stokes on 37 and he was thoroughly stumped. gone, gone! the ball span one way, the batter —

and actually the bat — went another. every england batter in this match fell to spin. noman ali, aged 38 — the pitch was worn and old, he was reborn as a bowler. his eighth wicket of the innings deserved slow—motion treatment. england 144 all out. pakistan's first test win at home since early 2021. we don't need data to know that mattered — it was crystal clear on the faces. joe wilson, bbc news. when england were fielding, stokes got frustrated at his players — he said he apologised for that afterwards. but there was nothing england could do about the pitch, which was always going to be difficult to bat on second. it was always going to be a tough ask, but we obviously had massive belief we could go out there and do that. but, yeah, it was a very difficult run chase even before we started today. it looks quite a far way off, but on that surface, i think we've done pretty good, a pretty decentjob.

but, yeah, a couple of starts and i'm sure myself and a couple other guys would have liked to have gone on and, you know, sort of delivered a bit more and get us over the line. but, yeah, it was an interesting test match. earlier, i spoke to former england cricketer alex hartley — who's been part of the bbc�*s test match special team — and began by asking her if england were always on the back foot after losing the toss on day one. i don't think they lost the match with a lusty toss, i think england allowed pakistan to get to many in that first innings, and that is ultimate where the game was lost, but it was a huge toss and the game being on a used pitch, it became possibly more important. i think a credit to pakistan peeking outside of the box, because it has never been done before, and they had to think, how are we going to would net the test match when we are are supposed to have the home advantage and on the surfaces even had the advantage? they did something out of the ordinary and it works for them. read it to them. i quite like the

court of it. whether or not it will catch on and it would do it more and more, i very much doubt it, but it made a better contest between bat and ball. find made a better contest between bat and ball. �* , ., , ., and ball. and they also seemed to net under and ball. and they also seemed to get under england's _ and ball. and they also seemed to get under england's skin, - and ball. and they also seemed to get under england's skin, becausel get under england's skin, because for the first time since he has been made captain, we saw stoves get made visibly angry. but made captain, we saw stoves get made visibly angry-— visibly angry. but he drops it is on --urose visibly angry. but he drops it is on purpose and _ visibly angry. but he drops it is on purpose and it _ visibly angry. but he drops it is on purpose and it was _ visibly angry. but he drops it is on purpose and it was the _ visibly angry. but he drops it is on purpose and it was the first - visibly angry. but he drops it is on purpose and it was the first time i purpose and it was the first time and still scott angry... —— nobody drops to catch on purpose. let’s drops to catch on purpose. let's switch to the _ drops to catch on purpose. let's switch to the women's - drops to catch on purpose. let's switch to the women's t20 - drops to catch on purpose. let's switch to the women's t20 world cup if we can. australia have gone out which means we have now seen two big favourites go out. re—surprised by that? favourites go out. re-surprised by that? , , , favourites go out. re-surprised by that? i, ,, ., �* that? massively surprised, and i'm not smiling — that? massively surprised, and i'm not smiling because _ that? massively surprised, and i'm not smiling because australia - that? massively surprised, and i'm not smiling because australia got i not smiling because australia got knocked out, i'm smiling because it is exciting! the first time either even or australia are not in the final, and that dishes women's cricket is progressing. australia were off their game yesterday and that showed, but it is exciting and

we are going to have south africa versus the west indies or new zealand, and i'm looking for to getting over and watching it. well, as alex alluded to there, the other semifinal was between the west indies and new zealand in sharjah — that has just finished, and it's new zealand who've booked their place in sunday's world cup final. new zealand batted first and started well — opener georgia plummer top—scoring with 33. there was a nasty moment for chinelle henry midway through the innings when she got her catching position all wrong. thankfully, she was able to walk off the field of play. deandra dottin took four wickets as west indies set their opponents 129 to win, but they couldn't chase it down, falling nine runs short of their target. new zealand through to their first final since 2010 — they'll play south africa for the trophy on sunday.

to football now. there's been a lot of reaction to the appointment of former chelsea and bayern munich manager thomas tuchel to the position of england manager. some fans and pundits asking why an english manager wasn't selected instead of a german. eddie howe's name is one that's been linked with the job several times. the newcastle manager was asked today if he had been interviewed by the fa, he said no and that he was surprised they had appointed a foreign coach. i have always said, and i've been very clear on this whenever i've been asked, going back years and years, my preference would have been for an english coach. but if you're going to go foreign, go for the best and i certainly think thomas is that. i think england have to do what is right for them, and only them will know the processes they've gone through and the decisions they have made and i'm certainly not the type of person thatis certainly not the type of person that is going to analyse data. for me, it is about newcastle and trying to win games, and it is hard enough to win games, and it is hard enough to do that when you are 100% focused, and i will remain that way

with my work, but i know if you drop your levels in your focus, with my work, but i know if you drop your levels in yourfocus, thejob becomes impossible. so at no stage have i allowed myself to do that. in agreement with eddie howe — about tuchel being one of the leading coaches in football — was arsenal manager mikel arteta. he also said if people were determined the england manager should be english, then they should press the fa to change the criteria. i understand the opinions and the feelings, obviously, but that's the responsibility for the fa to say, ok, the first filter is only english managers or the filter is any managers or the filter is any managerfrom any country managers or the filter is any manager from any country and we will select the best for the moment that we are in right now. and i understand, i can feel sad for some people not to have an english manager in the history tells you as well how important this is, but i think i would take a lot of pride that a lot of managers, a lot of people would do anything to become the england manager, and that's

related to how we are treated in this country. 0ne match in the championship tonight, and sheffield united will go top if they win or draw at elland road later. the blades are still the only team in the football league to remain unbeaten. leeds, on the other hand, have had a mixed start to the season and are in fifth. poignantly, this will be the first game for sheffield united since the passing of former player george baldock. the two clubs will come together for a minute's silence with both sets of players wearing black armbands. manager chris wilder says it's going to be painful but that it was important to pay tribute. difficult, yeah, really difficult. puts everything into perspective, doesn't it? we are in the industry of football, we are football people, but there's something else miles more bigger than the game of football on friday. so, yeah, having

to talk about the game and having to talk about the sad passing of a player that meant so much to everybody here at sheffield united. speaking of unbeaten sides, in scotland, aberdeen are on a streak of 13 wins in all competitions. their new swedish manager jimmy thelin has brought them level on points with league leaders celtic, who edge them out at the top on goal difference. well, the two sides meet at celtic park tomorrow. so can the dons boss win when it counts? tyrone smith reports. after a disappointing shelving last season, the good times have certainly roared back at pittodrie. aberdeen maintained their 100% start to the campaign with its 3—2 win over hearts in front of a sell—out home crowd the last time out. it's seven wins from seven league games for the dons, who currently sit level on points with celtic at the top of the scottish premiership table. aberdeen were the last team

out with the old firm to win the top division. it was a0 years ago with this man, sir alex ferguson, at the helm. sardi fans daring to dream the class of 2a will do something similar? by, class of 24 will do something similar? �* ., , class of 24 will do something similar? �* ., ., , , ., class of 24 will do something similar? ., ., ., ., ~' similar? a lot has been made on work schedules for — similar? a lot has been made on work schedules for footballers _ similar? a lot has been made on work schedules for footballers of _ similar? a lot has been made on work schedules for footballers of both - schedules for footballers of both celtic and rangers have got european schedules to contend with. if aberdeen can continue on this run and take advantage of the heavy schedules that both celtic and rangers have, we put ourselves in a position, the turn of the year, why can't we? �* , can't we? putting the aberdeen -la ers to can't we? putting the aberdeen players to their _ can't we? putting the aberdeen players to their paces, - can't we? putting the aberdeen players to their paces, jimmy . can't we? putting the aberdeen - players to their paces, jimmy thelin players to their paces, jimmy thelin is the master my behind the stunning upturn in fortune. the swede arrived in the summer after steering l's board to two runners—up finishes in the top division in his homeland during six years in charge there and he has made an instant impact to the northeast of scotland. in fact, decided the only top—flight team in europe who have won every game they have played this season. that's 13 winds across all competitions. the

nottingham forest have said they'll appeal against the three—match ban manager nuno espirito santo has been given after his red card at brighton last month. nuno has also been fined £55,000 after he complained about the red card shown to morgan gibbs—white, who has been given a one—game ban. brighton coach fabian hurzeler has also been given a fine. britain'sjosh charlton has broken the men's individual pursuit world record in qualifying at the track world championships in denmark. charlton recorded a time ofjust under three minutes. you can see his gold medal ride around 7.30pm this evening on bbc three. india recovered from being dismissed forjust a6 in their first innings in bengaluru to reach 231—3 at the close of play on day three of the first test against new zealand. they trail by 125 runs, with sarfaraz khan ending the day unbeaten on 70. after a month's break,

formula 1 returns to action with the us grand prix this weekend. practice hasjust got under way in austin — we'll keep you up to date. but there's still all to play for ahead of the final six races of the season. in the four races following the summer break, lando norris outscored max verstappen in all of them. so that means this is the current state of play in the driver's championship — red bull's verstappen still leads the way over britain's norris, with ferrari's charles leclerc in third. the british pair of lewis hamilton and george russell for mercedes in sixth and seventh place respectively. but it's mclaren who lead the way in the constructors' championship. red bull, ferrari, mercedes and aston martin making up the rest of the top five. there are six races remaining in this season's calendar, starting with the us grand prix this weekend, before heading to mexico, brazil, las vegas, qatar and finishing in abu dhabi in early december.

earlier, i spoke to formula 1 reporterjennie gow, who is in austin, and i began by asking her how she felt the rivalry between lando norris and max verstappen would play out this weekend. this race could be pivotal. when it comes to points, 20 for the win, but their extra point this weekend. you get points for the sprint race the fastest lap and the race. so, lots of points of for grabs, and as you say 52 points is the gap between max verstappen leading and later noris who is trying to close that gap. he cannot afford to let that gap grow —— lando noris. cannot afford to let that gap grow -- lando noris.— cannot afford to let that gap grow -- lando noris. what kind of mood has max verstappen _ -- lando noris. what kind of mood has max verstappen been - -- lando noris. what kind of mood has max verstappen been in? - -- lando noris. what kind of mood has max verstappen been in? he i -- lando noris. what kind of mood l has max verstappen been in? he has been giving short answers in these media interviews in protest? t been giving short answers in these media interviews in protest? i think that is “ust media interviews in protest? i think that isiust max _ media interviews in protest? i think that isjust max being _ media interviews in protest? i think that isjust max being max. - media interviews in protest? i think that isjust max being max. he - media interviews in protest? i think that isjust max being max. he has| that isjust max being max. he has

got a bit of beef with the fia at the moment. he hoped they would come directed to the garbage, but the amount of swearing they do in the car. however, they have not, they've just went public, there is no dialogue between the fia and max verstappen, and the drivers are going to get together and issue a statement about the situation after this race. max was in a short mood, not given to many answers, but he is talking to the press, does not need confines of the fia press conference, giving those ready answers that can sometimes —— he sometimes does. answers that can sometimes -- he sometimes does.— answers that can sometimes -- he sometimes does. perhaps rebel as a whole are getting — sometimes does. perhaps rebel as a whole are getting catchy _ sometimes does. perhaps rebel as a whole are getting catchy because - sometimes does. perhaps rebel as a whole are getting catchy because of| whole are getting catchy because of course they are behind now in the contractors championship?- contractors championship? yeah, mclaren have _ contractors championship? yeah, mclaren have taken _ contractors championship? yeah, mclaren have taken the - contractors championship? yeah, mclaren have taken the lead - contractors championship? yeah, mclaren have taken the lead in l contractors championship? yeah, i mclaren have taken the lead in the constructors' championship. max verstappen, he won at the beginning of the season, but it has gone to a lot of different drivers, and lando and norris and mclarenjust lot of different drivers, and lando and norris and mclaren just seemed to be in great form, and at the moment red bull staff leaving, there

seems to be dissension in the rinks, so this weekend it's important for mclaren to build on that and extend their lead. find mclaren to build on that and extend their lead. �* , .,. , their lead. and this race will see a chance of their lead. and this race will see a change of drivers _ their lead. and this race will see a change of drivers because - their lead. and this race will see a change of drivers because we - their lead. and this race will see a | change of drivers because we have got liam lawson taking daniel ricardo's seat.— got liam lawson taking daniel ricardo's seat. , ., , ricardo's seat. there is always fun and games — ricardo's seat. there is always fun and games in _ ricardo's seat. there is always fun and games in that _ ricardo's seat. there is always fun and games in that rebel— ricardo's seat. there is always fun and games in that rebel camp. - ricardo's seat. there is always fun | and games in that rebel camp. this isjust one of and games in that rebel camp. this is just one of those moves ahead of next year. who will take that seat at red bull? at the moment sergio perez has a contract, but if liam lawson does a good job taking that drive from daniel i , then maybe he would take that place. this race in austin, it's a massive fans favourite, loads of people come across from mexico to watch them, and they will be cheering on perez and hoping they score really well this weekend. so, lots up in the air. jennie gow speaking to me a little earlier. and you can keep up with practice on the bbc sport website.

not great news coming out of barcelona. the british challenge for the america's cup could be over tomorrow after britannia lost both races today to leave team new zealand just needing one more win to retain the title. the kiwis had been pegged back after losing races five and six on wednesday. they responded with two impressive wins today, making the better use of the wind to go 6—2 ahead. the winner is the first crew to win seven races and the british skipper insists it's not over yet. we have seen in the history of the cup some amazing comebacks, and i know the rest of the team know, we have got to keep fighting the rest of the way. we've got a great outcome we've got a great team, keep pushing hard and why not go all the way? —— we've got a great boat. now, following his retirement announcement last week, we know rafael nadal�*s time on a tennis court is coming to an end, but it may not be as long as we expected.

nadal�*s last match was supposed to be for spain in next month's davis cup. however, after defeat to carlos alcaraz earlier today, nadal says he'll only compete in malaga, if he feels "ready to win". first of all, it's my thing about, if i see myself ready for it, then you can feel yourself ready and then you can go on court and you can lose, and that's part of the sport, without a doubt. but be 100% sure that i will not be on court if i don't feel ready to win my match. that's the truth. so, at the end, it's the davis cup, you're representing your country, so the thing is very clear. let's ta ke let's take you back to football now for a moment. for a while now, we've heard the same message — that despite there being a significant proportion of black players at the elite level of the game, there are too few breaking into managment positions.

well, the black football partnership awards were held last night at the house of commons and co—founder delroy corinaldi said the government needed to get serious about the issue. a3% of footballers in the premier league are black. despite that, just a.a% of management positions are occupied by black ex—players, dropping down to 1.6% in executive and ownership positions. former premier league manager chris hughton said action needed to be taken and quickly for the next generation. it has to be about the future, and we all have kids and grandkids, and what we want is certainly to be far better representation in the coming years. and certainly, as regards the data, certainly as regards our stakeholders, certainly as regards our fa, and the important people in

our fa, and the important people in our game, to make sure that for what they preach as regards diversity, it's something that is visible. we've got great backers. you've seen them, _ we've got great backers. you've seen them, from _ we've got great backers. you've seen them, from the world of law, business. _ them, from the world of law, business, football, politics, all in one room. — business, football, politics, all in one room, talking about what football — one room, talking about what football can be like, what football, the foot _ football can be like, what football, the foot but we want it to be like, and hoadley moving forward, we can have black— and hoadley moving forward, we can have black players not only be entertainers, but be wonderful leaders — entertainers, but be wonderful leaders in the game. we just need to game _ leaders in the game. we just need to game to— leaders in the game. we just need to game to come on—site. we need the fa to step _ game to come on—site. we need the fa to step up _ game to come on—site. we need the fa to step up. and if we can do that, we can_ to step up. and if we can do that, we can meke— to step up. and if we can do that, we can make progress. more on that story on the bbc sport website. voting is open for the bbc women's footballer of the year 202a. five global players have been shortlisted based on their performances over the last year and the public will now decide the winner. you ? can vote at bbc.com/womensfootball. today, we hearfrom usa

and san diego wave's naomi girma. she won olympic gold at paris 202a and, in the last year, has established herself as one of the best defenders in the world. girma also helped usa lift the concacaf gold cup in march and has won the nwsl shield and challenge cup with her club. my mom says that at the world cup last year, at the olympics this year, she was like, "i can't believe we're here!" i'm like, "me neither." i'm honoured to be up for this award, and to be a defender on there, i think, is really cool, just to shine some light on the position. we play a big part. you're always doing things for the team. you know, you're working with your backline, you're trying to organise the line in front of you, and there's that camaraderie in the back, that, like, "yeah, just grind it out." and i think without that piece, it's really hard to win.

my parents were both born in ethiopia and my dad came as a refugee. my dad started a grassroots soccer club called maleda soccer in sanjose and it was just for the ethiopian kids to get together, play soccer, hang out — very recreational, just for fun — and that was when i first started playing. i was felt like that first community was supporting me throughout, and that always felt special to have them with me. as a first—generation kid, or as an immigrant kid, it's really important to be that example and to be that representation. playing in my first major tournament, in the world cup last year, and then rolling into the olympics this year, it's just been a time for me to grow. 0ur side had such a strong will and belief in what we were doing and we just always believed we could get the job done. it did feel like a release ofjust like, "we did it," and i think to just sit and, like, breathe and be able to sit

in it with the medal ceremony and the celebration with our families was just really special and just felt like such a good ending for us. mental health is really important to me. i lost a friend to suicide. that really opened my eyes to the lack of resources and support that we have as athletes. injanuary, we had a retreat for create the space. there were 20 nwsl players. to be there and to see how important it was to other people and see how work like this can change people's lives was really impactful. you're notjust an athlete, you have this platform, and if things matter to you, you should speak on it. i definitely want to leave the game better than i found it. naomi girma there. voting closes at 9am on monday 28th october. the winner will be announced on 26 november. you can find more on the other nominees on the bbc sport website. a reminder of our top story before we go — defeat for england in the second test against pakistan means the series is level at 1—1,

leaving it poised for the decider in rawalpindi in six days' time. that's all from sportsday. thanks very much for watching. bye—bye. hello there. this weekend sees the first named storm of the season. it has been named by the irish met service. at the moment, storm ashley is a long way away, over the other side of the atlantic, and yet to develop from that area of cloud. in advance of that, we have got this deep low running to the north—west of the uk, pushing in this cloud, bringing some rain and some stronger winds. but we still have mild air this afternoon, temperatures will be 16 or 17 degrees. the mist and low cloud and fog that we have had through the midlands and east of england slowly lifting as the breeze picks up. the stronger winds are in the west, where we have the cloud and this rain. this first bit of rain really

won't amount to very much. the second band of rain is going to be heavier. as the winds fall lighter overnight, that rain is going to slow down as it moves into england and wales. clear skies do follow into the west, with temperatures in scotland and northern ireland down to 8 or 9 degrees, but milder elsewhere. a change of fortunes, though, for tomorrow. it's going to be eastern england this time that sees the rain in the morning. it should tend to clear away, but it may linger in the south—east and into the afternoon. otherwise, sunshine follows on behind, and many places will be dry. just a few showers remaining towards the west of scotland. temperatures very similar to today, the winds fairly light, so all in all a decent—looking day for many. certainly the better day of the weekend. sunday sees the arrival of this deepening area of low pressure. this is storm ashley, bringing some rain and also those strengthening winds. it's going to be windy everywhere on sunday, with widespread gales. the strongest winds will be towards the north—west of the uk. this is where we are more likely to have some travel disruption and maybe some damage as well. we have got the rain in the morning, that's

going to sweep its way eastwards. there may not be too much rain in the south—east of england. following the rain, a window of dry weather before those squally showers near the storm pack in towards the north—west. another mild day, but that's not the main story — the strength of the wind is the story. the winds picking up really quickly through the irish sea, pushing in those very strong winds across scotland and northern ireland. the core of strongest winds is shown here by this amber wind warning from the met office in the west of scotland and, combined with some high tides, there will be some coastal flooding as well. the winds will still be gusting 60 mph in northern scotland on monday. as the storm moves away, the weather turns quieter.

it's 7pm in london. this is the world today with rv. hamas vows to fight on after confirming the death of its leader, yayha sinwar saying it only strengthened the group. the former captain of fulham ladies football team says she was sexually assaulted by mohammed al fayed. tributes flood in for the former 0ne direction star, liam payne, who died afterfalling from his hotel balcony in argentina. kate has said nothing about the past few days has felt real calling for more military

leaders in berlin said there's a possibility of working
