hello and thanks for joining us on sportsday. we're going to start with cricket and a rather chastening day for england, after they were beaten by nine wickets in the third and final test against pakistan in rawalpindi. it means they lose the series 2—1. they were bowled out forjust 112 in their second innings leaving pakistan an easy target to win. here's joe lynskey. got him. for pakistan, this was the most emphatic way to seal it. a third test that started with a series in the balance in the end was a procession. on day 3 of this match, england began a long way off, three wickets down, already still 53 behind. harry brook showed promise, but pakistan knew there'd be chances. when brook was caught behind, it set the tone for the morning. ben stokes, the captain,

left a ball that hit his pads, a wicket through misjudgement from the man they often count on. england got two runs behind whenjamie smith went on the charge. sajid khan and noman ali, the pakistan bowlers who now have turned this series. and pakistan are all over england! one that started this month with england posting 800. now for pakistan to win it, they'd need just 36. very big. it took pakistan less than half an hour to seal the test and seal the series, the first they've won at home for pakistan, this was lift—off on a day england collapsed. well, after the game england captain ben stokes spoke to the bbc�*s simon mann. last couple of tests have thrown us a challenge and i think it is pretty easy to assess that. we could not stand up to the challenges thrown at us. but the great thing about sport

is that those challenges are always going to come along. throughout this tour, particularly the last two games we were not able to match what pakistan threw at us. a very quick turnaround to another challenge in new zealand, we need to put behind the disappointment of these last games and move on to new zealand. what was so good about their spinners that made it so difficult for your team? noman, his control was phenomenal throughout, not only this test match but the last one. when there is assistance and manipulation of pace i thought was really good, so you hold your hands up to the opposition skill as well. given the conditions and favourable home conditions for them that is obviously something they are very used to. our spinners did a greatjob. the amount of wickets fallen to spin was evident that it was always going to be spin who decided

the game as well. you have to hold your hands up and say everything pakistan threw at us, as they were able to keep on top of us at all times. what was the decisive part of the match? last night, the way sajid came and played, he took massive risks when we had taken the wicket of noman and sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. it paid off for the way he came out and played. ten or 15 runs here and there on these types of wickets are always massive and the way he came out and really took on the spinners was a huge moment in the game. yesterday the way they played, nudging and knocking, taking singles, do you reflect on that and think we could have done anything differently? no. sorry? no. what are your main

learning points overall? when we get thrown challenges, not that they were not unexpected, we just need to find a way to... fight for longer. we did in very small periods but that is not long enough in test cricket so when we get that, that fightback we need to do it for longer periods of time. did you think you had a chance today? yeah. well, how do you reflect on what happened today? it's incredibly disappointing to lose a test match. yeah, the reflection will be done quickly. it is the way of the schedule at the moment, you have got to reflect quick and move on because in two, three week's time we fly to new zealand with another challenge, probably a completely different challenge but we will have to stand up to that as well. new zealand have done something no cricket team has managed to do since alastair cook's england in 2012 and that is win a test series in india.

and they did it with a test to spare, too. mitchell santner was their star bowler in pune. he took six wickets, including the key one of virat kohli, given out lbw after an unsuccessful review. india were chasing 359 to win but finished well short, all out for 245. so new zealand end india's unbeaten home record that's lasted for 18 series, taking an unassailable 2—0 lead in the three test series. that's their first ever test series win in india. to come here and play the style |of cricket we have played, yes, | obviously proud to be in the position - of winning to test matches - here, lot of new zealand teams that have come here the past 69 years i think it is, _ 13 series and i guess to be i the first team to win a series you're watching sportsday, live from the bbc sport centre. still to come...

what a start to the world series. the dodgers win game one in style, we'll have the latest from los angeles ahead of game two. to the premier league where in the last few minutes everton have drawn 1—1 with fulham. it looked like former player alex iwobi had come back to haunt goodison park when he opened the scoring after a brilliant run from emile smith—rowe. but beto scored in the 94th minute to save the point for everton. it leaves fulham in tenth whilst everton are fifteenth. manchester city are the top of the table after beating bottom club southampton 1—0 at home. pep guardiola's side now unbeaten premier league record extending 32 games. they are now only six weeks away from going a full 12 months since their last league defeat. erling haaland was the man to thank. he scored his 11th league goal of the season to give city all three points, putting them above liverpool who host arsenal

at anfield tomorrow. they defend with the ball. people believe defending means ten players behind the ball but you can defend with the ball and they are really good, one of the best teams in the premier league but we create a lot and unfortunately we could not score the second but big credit to them. not because we were sloppy orflat, i don't have that feeling. i think we were there. sometimes they are good. we have to accept that. and be happy for that. we have more than most when they come here and the level of courage and intensity to play football in our way and do what we are asking them to do is incredible so i am really proud of them for that and i think it will take a lot of belief from today, not just the way they

defended, especially after going down so early and the character to actually play the way we want to if we're going to lose which we were going to at point of course, at least to a way we shall proud of the performance and i can accept that. there was an absolute belter of a match at the gtech community stadium where brentford saw off ipswich town 4—3 in a seven—goal thriller that included a 96th—minute winner. brentford came from two goals down to keep their unbeaten home record intact. bryan mbeumo with the goal to break ipswich hearts. the visitors thought they'd rescued a point when liam delap made it 3—3 with 86 minutes on the clock, but mbeumo's winner meaning the tractor boys are still winless in the league. we got a little bit of... martins with us to get it all the way in but we put a lot of crosses in and maybe there is a mistake on the end of them so credit to how we do things. let's put it this way, when we played it's very exciting.

the players delivered an outstanding performance in so many areas, 11 and ten men. it was a big step forward for us again to be honest in terms of the resilience shown and aspects of the performance and we are devastated we did not get any points today, but i really believe if we can show those qualities, that character every week we will be competitive in the large majority of games. if you are competitive every week you do enough of the right thing things can turn and you can pick up points and i think we will. aston villa conceded in the 96th minute as bournemouth came back to grab a point at villa park. substitute evanilson scored with the last touch of the game. the brazilian headed the equaliser in from a free—kick from marcus tavernier. villa had been the better side and led through ross barkley. the draw takes them third above arsenal but they will be furious with missing the chance for all three points.

we didn't control the match the last ten minutes, minutes, didn't control, of course we deserved to win, but we have to accept it, it is painful, but we have to accept it. we are doing fantastic start in the league and in the champions league. we are frustrated of course, yes, i'm frustrated and the players are frustrated because we want to win, this is the mentality. today we should a lot of character because it's difficult under pressure, also the stadium here, the atmosphere they create is lovely and you feel intimidation and it is difficult to survive, but i think we showed this character and luckily we deserved it at the end, yes. and wolves staged a dramatic late fightback to rescue a point and lift themselves off the bottom of the premier league in a thrilling game at brighton. gary o'neil's side were staring at a sixth successive league defeat but goals from rayan ait—nouri in the 88th minute and matheus cunha in stoppage time

made it 2—2. the lads have not shied l away from any challenge. i have been— disappointed a couple of occasions in a really tough i nine—game run, the second half i was disappointed against chelsea and aston villa, l brentford away, apart from that i have seen a group giving - everything and we will come up short sometimes, of course, i that is the level. and where we are. but today showed that - if you keep giving everything, it cannot constantly, - consistently go against you. we managed to get a break today, which we deserved. i we defended not enough, the set pieces, we were too passive after we scored the second goal. we were not mature enough to win the game and we have to learn from this. we have the chance to go for the third goal, four against one

and we did not punish them so they punished us. the premier league is ruthless, we are not mature or professional enough to win the game and we have to learn from it. aberdeen have gone top of the scottish premier league thanks to a late 1—0 win at home to dundee united. the dons were second on goal difference this morning, but leaders celtic play motherwell tomorrow. this is the closest anybody came to scoring in a tight first half though, ante palaversa shooting just wide for aberdeen. and the game was heading for a goalless draw until aberdeen substitute peter ambrose, who'd onlyjust come on, fired them ahead. in this afternoon's other games, stjohnstone won 2—1 at dundee. and ross county beat kilmarnock at home by the same score. sunderland are five points clear at the top of the championship after beating oxford united 2—0 at home. both their nearest rivals burnley and leeds had goal—less draws in their games. further down the table there was a great comeback by coventry against luton. they had been two down but three second half goals ending with this in the 92nd

minute from haji wright gave them the win to move themselves out of the bottom three and leave luton, who were in the premier league last season, floundering in the relegation zone. there were stoppage time winners for watford at home to blackburn and millwall at swansea. sheffield united's 2—0 win at home to stoke takes them fourth. wayne rooney's plymouth argyle made one of the comebacks of the day — from 3—0 down early in the second half, to 3—3 in injury time thanks to a 92nd minute equaliser from morgan whittaker. it's the biggest game in spanish football tonight as real madrid host barcelona in el clasico which kicks off at 8pm. champions real are the one's that trail their rivals currently in the league. they're three points behind the catalans and will be hoping kylian mbappe shines in his first clasico. they will need to stop robert lewandowski who tops the scoring charts in la liga with 12 goals. it's also hansi flick�*s first taste of the fixture since taking charge of barca

in the summer. when you start to play football, you want when you start to play football, you want to play el clasico, but it is the real clasico. in germany, we also have some they call the clasico, but it is not like, real against barca, so it is el clasico and i think everyone is happy and they have to enjoy it. to enjoy it, you have to work hard and we will do that. jack draper is through to the final of an atp 500 tournament for the first time in his career. the us open semi finalist beat italy's lorenzo musetti, who was just above him in the atp rankings, draper coming through 6—2 6—4. drew savage reports. a year ago, jack draper was playing on the challenger circuit, rebuilding his career after injury.

now he's enjoying life back in the spotlight. he gave lorenzo musetti the run—around in the first set. three breaks of serve to take it 6—2. this was 17th against 16th in the world rankings. a win for draper would take him above his italian opponent. he's everywhere, is the brit. at 4—2 down, musetti refused to give up, chasing every point, turning the match into a marathon. squaring the set. was draper flagging? but the british number one came through when it counted, his fifth break of the match turning it back in his direction. nearly wo hours on court had clearly taken their toll. but draper served his way into his first atp 500 final. magnificent for draper. and it'll be karen khachanov

who stands between draper and his first atp 500 title after the russian beat the second seed, alex de minaur in the other semi final by exactly the same scoreline as draper beat musetti — 6—2, 6—4 — injust under and hour and a half. it'll be khachanov�*s tenth atp final. katie boulter couldn't make it through her semifinal at the pan pacific open in tokyo. the british number one lost to wildcard sofia kenin. the american, who has struggled since winning the australian open four years ago, took the first set 6—4. and it was a similar story for boulter in the second set which went the same way. kenin will face top seed zheng qinwen of china in the final tomorrow. england recorded their highest score against france in wheelchair rugby league as they thrashed them by 66 points to 33 in the first of their autumn internationals. the world champions ran in ten tries at wigan�*s robin park arena. the pick of them was scored

i will not lie, it is really promising and we have got a long way to go into the next world cup, we're just excited how much better we can get. bath moved to the top of rugby union's premiership table after thrashing sale by a0 points to 13. bath ran in six tries at the rec with blindside flanker ted hill showing a turn of pace to secure the bonus point early in the second half. both sides also had a player sent off. this penalty by leicester fly half handre pollard turned out to be all that separated tigers from saracens as they won by 32 points to 29 at stone x stadium. the defeat for saracens ensured bath stayed top of the table. gloucester ran in six tries as they thrashed newcastle falcons by 36 points to seven. most of the work was done in the first half with hooker jack singleton scoring the bonus point tryjust before the interval at kingsholm stadium. victory moves the cherry

more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. manchester city have gone to the top of the premier league. el clasico isjust about to kick off in madrid. and there is formula one qualifying to come in mexico later. that's all from sportsday. hello there. skies will tend to clear overnight and that will allow temperatures to drop. so it's a chillier start for part two of the weekend. but we should see more sunshine around, certainly for england and wales. but even eastern scotland however western scotland, northern ireland will start to see more wind and rain pushing in. i think for all areas after the cool start, it's going to be a little bit chillier than we've had the last few days. so as we head into saturday evening, this weather front, which has brought wet and windy weather to scotland and northern ireland, will sink southwards across england and wales as we move through the course of the night, but you'll notice it fizzles out as it does so there'll be barely anything

on it by the time it reaches south wales and southern england. a few blustery showers for western scotland. otherwise it's dry with clear skies, lighterwinds. it'll turn quite chilly for all areas, but a touch of frost slightly for parts of scotla nd and northern ireland. and don't forget tonight the clocks go back one hour, so sunday morning then it's a chilly start for all areas, particularly in the north. lots of sunshine. however, the winds pick up again across northern ireland and scotland, and cloud and rain starts to push in here. but parts of eastern scotland will see sunshine, england and wales doing pretty well with the sunshine into the afternoon, just tending to cloud up across northern and western areas. but a cooler day ten to 13 or 1a degrees as we move out of sunday into monday, with a couple of fairly weak weather fronts across the country. more isobars as well for all areas. so i think it's going to be a fairly breezy day across the board. a lot of cloud around with some spots of rain. thanks to those weather fronts. i think most of the rain will tend to be across more northern and western areas. there will be some glimmers of brightness further east and east of high ground and temperatures mild again. the mid to high teens into tuesday, this area of high pressure starts to build in, so we lose the weather fronts

and the isobars open out. so the winds will be lighter on tuesday and it should be mostly dry. could see a few showers just clearing the far southeast through the day. elsewhere, variable cloud may be a bit more sunshine around on tuesday afternoon. central, northern and eastern areas and again quite mild mid to high teens. as we move through the week we hold on to high pressure, which brings fine and settled conditions. quite a bit of cloud around with some chilly nights and mist and fog, but we start to see low pressure digging into northern areas and that will bring a change by the end of the week and into next weekend. so it's mild for most of this week until we reach the weekend, where it turns colder with northerly winds. take care.
