supported by ben stokes, who made 62. england declared on 322—6 — a lead of a61.waking up in the middle of the night panicking and stressing and going through some tough times. like i say, iam really through some tough times. like i say, i am really pleased to be sitting here, having helped us get into a position where we can win the game. so sri lanka must bat out the last two days or reach a62 for victory. when you consider the highest run chase in galle is 99 — that's looking unlikely. and as long as the rain stays away, it looks as though england will earn their first test win away in two years. plenty of team news to bring you ahead of this weekend's autumn internationals. chris ashton will make his first start for england in more than four years against new zealand at twickenham. the sale winger comes in forjack nowell who's been dropped to the bench — it's one of three changes following saturday's narrow win over south africa. there's no place in the matchday squad for manu tuilangi. wales meanwhile have picked josh adams for saturday's test against austral

a half century from ben stokes on day three also helped to put england in control as they left sri lankais performances of late and he's admitted to having doubts around his game. it is really pleasing and a big thank you to the people that have stuck with me and over the last 18 months and have backed me. back to be through some tough times, waking up be through some tough times, waking up during the night panicking and stressing and going through some tough times and, like i said, just really pleased to be sitting here having helped us get to position where we can go on and win the game. we're building up to another exciting weekend of games in rugby union's autumn internationals and i bet chris ashton can't wait for saturday to come. he'll make his first start for england in more than four years against new zealand at twickenham the sale winger comes in forjack nowell who's been dropped to the bench — it's one of three changes following the narrow win over south africa. having missed last week through injury, manu tuilagi is rested as a precaution. team news is also available on scotl

earlier today, it was looking so bad for england, with ben stokes, out without scoring...core. roger federer is through to the semi—finals of the world tour finals in london. he beat south africa‘s kevin anderson, in straight sets at the 02 arena. federer lost his first match against kei nishikori, but has bounced back to win the next two. anderson also progresses despite the defeat. i think that winning helped me, coming into the match a bit more relaxed but for me i‘ve always wa nted relaxed but for me i‘ve always wanted to go out with a bang today and wina wanted to go out with a bang today and win a match, if i go through, great, if not, i don‘t deserve it and that‘s ok. i hope i can play a good match the day after tomorrow. i‘m not sure where i am playing! coming up today, the atp world tour finals continue at the 02 in london. alaxnader zverev is first up againstjohn isner... later novak djokovic plays marin cilic. there‘s coverage on bbc two from two o‘clock — it‘s on the bbc sport webiste and app too. and sportsday‘s on the bbc news channel at 6:30 tonight.... poli

there are has been lots of love for ben stokes on social media this morning.ealistically if not statistically their hopes depended on beating psv. lueke de jong had made things tricky. they couldn't get past the keeper, who was inspired, or infuriating, depending on your view. just 30 minutes left, they still hadn't beaten him, when that man, kane, was set up. 1-1. kane was urging calm. easier said than done. time was running out. 89 minutes gone but of course one man wasn't panicking. a header that changed direction twice and completed a turnaround. tottenham must hope their champions league campaign follows a similarly improbable course. in belgrade it was throwback tuesday. 27 years ago red star ruled europe from their cauldron of a stadium. pandemonium here 21 minutes in. if they were excited about that, wait until they saw this. 2—0 to a team that liverpool had beaten 4—0 a fortnight ago. jurgen klopp said afterwards liverpool struggled to find their mojo. maybe it's in there somewhere. manchester city have been accused of cheating by the people who run s
