a huge relief to england. have lost the opening game of they have lost the opening game of the series. it looked like that trend was going to continue, but thanks to chris woakes and just butler, they have but over the line. it is normally people like ben stokes that we are raving about when england have won in dramatic fashion, but chris woakes and jos buttler, they are the ones that guided england home? just butler is under a huge amount of pressure as well to put it mildly... missed and opportunity. there is a pressure on wicketkeepers to perform with the bat. if they do not perform with the gloves, —— gloves, heat is on and they have to do the back... a bowler in england's pace attack. but he has shown what he can do with the bat and shown a really brave performance. particularly with the dismissal of ben stokes and ollie, it looks like there was this fine pakistan bowling attack. but i think they will breathe a huge sigh of relief as they make their way of the field and into the dressing room. thank you.

it is the england head coach. great to speak to you.lose eye on those england players involved. i am really looking forward to it. it is obviously quite a number of games, it is a great opportunity for the players and a great opportunity for the sport to get back on its feet. have you tried to touch base with some players over the lockdown period ? we have kept in touch — like everyone, these new zoom meetings becoming a form of communication. that has been handy. some players respond well to it, others not so well. we know the premiership final will be staged here on the 24th of october and a week later, we will see the culmination of the six nations which was cut short because of coronavirus. you face italy and you are in with a very good chance of winning the tournament once again. that is a very exciting period. they have the final year on the 24th. then we will fly out to rome probably later that week on the thursday. and italy, we know, have had good preparation. they have been starting their camps injune and they have had a bit o

england set up towards the southern counties as well, which then only benefits, again, just a small think, first of all, england hockey needs to reckon us publicly that there is a problem and need to openly state that, and second, i think they need to educate themselves internally as well, because i don't think at the moment that they fully grasp the issues and i think my thirdly, the need to put together a fully independent panel to advise them on education programmes, coaches, management, umpires, and that is not a panicked response, such as sending out invites one day after the guardian have contacted them for inclusion board. needs to be a little been more structure and independent, like the kick it out system that exists in football. well, england hockey said in response to the letter that diversity has been on their agenda for some time now. they say they've set up an external advisory group "to share and ascertain the facts around diversity and inclusion within our sport, so we can create a strategy based on first—hand evidence." snooker — and barry hawkins is safely through

a big statement from england and the second match. the test, considering the forecast for the coming days? that's a good question. we've spent the entire day looking at different radars, different apps telling us the forecast, and it tends to be you look at the one you like most which tells you the best news. i think most likely, it will be a waiting game. every day we will see showers and players will have to go on and off. it will be, who react better to that? it is notoriously difficult to get out and restart an inning, so perhaps that will work in england's favour. also james anderson seems to be an excellent form, two wickets today, now eight away from 600 and test match cricket. plenty of encouragement, we have to make sure the showers stay away to get enough cricket in on time. henry, thanks very much for that. paris saint—germain became the first team to secure a place in the last four of this season's champions league, with a dramatic late victory over italian side atalanta last night. all the games in the latter stages are b

is 1&50 england, babar azam. what a player he is. supported by shan masood, the able opener. pakistan selected. abid ali really emerging as a new superstar in pakistan cricket and what do england need to do to dislodge him tomorrow? he has had the big binge of playing cricket in england, at somerset before, so he will know some of the challenges you will know some of the challenges you will face, the overhead conditions, the kind of bowling you get from james anderson and stuart broad and the like. england have to be careful, not allow him to have the kind of somerset steve smith had last summer, where he becomes an immovable object. they need to find a way to get him out cheaply and remove him from the stumps, and just make sure the sloppy mistakes... find that which you break the partnership, particularly the wicket of babarazam, partnership, particularly the wicket of ba bar azam, because partnership, particularly the wicket of babar azam, because if he gets going to be a real challenge for england. we don't want another steve smi

beyond that, into the weekend across england and wales we will keep that hot and england and wales wel keep that hotand humid england and wales we will keep that hot and humid weather. lots of sunshine, very warm nights. further north—west some sunshine but a more co mforta ble north—west some sunshine but a more comfortable feel to the weather. really both saturday and sunday we will all see some sunshine but it will all see some sunshine but it will stay humid across england and wales with temperatures running into the 30s and mid 30s across the south—east. thank you, chris, and that is it from us. goodbye. hello, welcome along to sportsday. i'mjohn watson. coming up tonight: the london earth on will be an elite runner‘s race this year. —— the london never thought. we'll find out what it means for thousands of disappointed runners. problems for england as wickets tumble in the first test against pakistan. we'll have the latest from old trafford. and it's taken eight years but well worth the wait — a maximum break of 147 and a slice of world championship history forjohn higgins. yes,

i think england will be satisfied with their performance.has been outstanding, he isa jos butler has been outstanding, he is a player who can crash the ball to the boundaries. this inning has been about hanging around, making sure he is there. a difficult performance behind the stumps but he has batted brilliantly. england need is partnership to keep going just so they can perhaps rain and a few of those runs and ensure the first innings deficit is not as big as it could be. england just innings deficit is not as big as it could be. englandjust clinging on. we know the ultimate ambition is for england to become the number one test side in world cricket. they beat the west indies. have pakistan prove they are a step up and england are perhaps not quite where they wa nt to are perhaps not quite where they want to be? i think is a difficult one tojudge. in want to be? i think is a difficult one to judge. in the summer, in such awkward positions, with england coming into this position was just playing three test matches. they have a little bit o

england are are a little disappointed not to have all of them out by this point. 223—9 come england willthey can get that wicket early on the thursday leave at first day, no reason at all they can win this is whether i just delete reason at all they can win this is whether ijust delete mayjustify the selection of sam curran? sam curran comes into the side options with the. and the ankle. he thrives in these conditions. and the overhead with the murkiness in the humidity. that makes the ball swing. sam curran is good at that. archer is the man that has been left out of the side. the england captain says archer needs to be rested and he is perhaps not the perfect conditions for him. he is quick and he will benefit from hotter conditions perhaps where the ball is not swinging so much and that is really where sam curran comes into the england team and he will excel. perhaps if england thinking to bring current and because of the conditions and he has bold pretty well so far. thank you very much. still to come on sportsday... we'll be in monaco, for the first of the diamond league meets, as a

in england.f course, there's stuart broad. catch that. bowlers need fielders. the chance fell to burns or sibley, and fell to the ground. if that was frustrating, this was agonising. chris woakes the bowler, trying to work out what had just happened. wait for the angle that reveals it to us. the ball struck the stumps but too weak to remove the bails. not out, of course. we can accept that taking catches is never taken for granted. dropped again. but any professional would class that chance as gettable, even simple. rory burns was left rehearsing, empty—handed. survey england's team, you'll noticed no ben stokes, attending to family matters, jofra archer, rested, mark wood, not picked. anderson kept trying. but pakistan were past 50. tough session, but they were starting to thrive, starting to make england chase and regret those missed opportunities. the cloud on the horizon was always the cloud on the horizon. rain came at 12:50pm, with pakistan 62—1. in terms of the play so far, they had won. j

when we miss public health england?ic health england need our thanks, and one of the things that i was very pleased with the secretary of state, matt hancock, acknowledged it was the excellent work was that excellent work that the people have been doing in the commitment to that staff that he very much sees them as forming pa rt he very much sees them as forming part of the new agency. so i think without the people, the organisation would not succeed. so i'm delighted that the secretary of state was so strong in his messages of support for the public health workforce. how sensible is it to attempt this kind of reorganisation in the middle of a global pandemic? i think that's the sort of thing, rebecca, that we are all scratching our heads a little bit about. because i know as part of the academy of royal medical colleges we don't ask the government to do colleges we don't ask the government todoa colleges we don't ask the government to do a rabbit analysis and to look forward. —— rapid analysis. and have them engage dir

one of the government's scientific advisers suggests england may have to consider closing pubs if it's to re—open schools as planned. when we do that, we're going to reconnect lots of households, and so actually sort of closing some of the other networks, some of the other activities may well be required to enable us to open schools. from today, more than two million people considered at high—risk from coronavirus will no longer need to shield in most parts of england. some beauty salons, plus bowling alleys and wedding venues in england face at least another fortnight of closure following the government's plan to "squeeze the brake pedal" on easing restrictions. also today: companies whose staff have been receiving up to 80% of their salary through the government's furlough scheme will now have to start making further financial contributions. a crack in the murdoch media empire? one of rupert murdoch's sons, james, resigns from the board of news corporation, citing editorial disagreements. donald trump has announced he will be banning the chinese video—sharing app tiktok from as early

notjust england. think what you are seeing now is ministers keeping one eye on the public enquiry that is inevitable, after all this is over, and sojoe is absolutely right, part of this is to do with a blame game, and there are indications that public health england might cop quite a lot of it, once the enquiry gets going. i'm sure they will build this new body, as world beating or whatever, and it may make organisational sense to work in test and trace with bha's existing responsibilities, but it finally comes down to getting test and trace right, and we still haven't done that and schools are about to go back in a week's time. you mention they want to bring more science to bear on how this new body works but ultimately it is politicians who make the decisions? well, yes, and we have heard that in the beginning, the politicians told us they were guided by the science, until it suited them to ignore the size i say, well, to hail with it, let's get everybody back in the pub, and never mind the kids goi
