Russia is determined to put ona writer. Russia is determined to put on a good show. There has been a lot of build up to this. The 32 teams will learn their footballing fete tomorrow. It will take place in the state palace of the kremlin tomorrow. Was built in the 1960s by Nikolai Khrushchev as a place to showcase russian ballet, art and classical music. We will find out who will be playing in the opening fixtures. Who will russia be playing . Where will england be playing . Where will england be playing . We will get another ins and outs of the different groups ahead of the start of the tournament in june. Of the start of the tournament in june. England are in the second part. What does that mean for them . Well, what it means is they were not seeded high enough to get into the first group which would have perhaps given them an easier path to the early stages. But they do share a group with spain, switzerland, columbia, the likes of mexico, uruguay, croatia and perrot. Some very strong teams in there. We will find out in due course. England not finishing with enough points to make the first part. Plenty of people will be doing their best and worst Case Scenario calculations. Have you been crunching the numbers . Case scenario calculations. Have you been crunching the number57m Case Scenario calculations. Have you been crunching the numbers . It is fascinating there have been rehearsal draws this week. Gary lineker took the master of ceremonies roll. In one of those rehearsals, england came out against russia. A tie that would be. Russia, senegal, saudi arabia, that would be a very good group for england. Russia ranked 65th. The hosts are a lwa ys russia ranked 65th. The hosts are always expected to do well. That pressure will be even bigger this time around, given russias national pride. That could well provide england with the kind of start Gareth Southgate will be hoping for. A group like that might mean they could top the group and get a better tie in the knockout stages. So that is one possible permeation. What about the worst possible case . Well, there are some giant in the first part. We will see what comes in due course. But if you look at pop one, germany, costa rica and nigeria. All very highly regarded teams. All dangerous. Teams that could cause england real problems. I think that is something Gareth Southgate will wa nt to is something Gareth Southgate will want to avoid. In the early stages, england will want to get on a firm footing, a confident start. So that would be three teams he will perhaps wa nt to would be three teams he will perhaps want to avoid. There is a phrase, the group of death. I have been told the group of death. I have been told the russian phrase. Gareth southgate will not want to hear that tomorrow. Quite right. Plenty of fingernails to be bitten over the next few hours. 0nce to be bitten over the next few hours. Once the draw is made, attention will turn to who might be on the plane for england. You have spoken to someone with an illustrious past . Yes, just a few hours ago, i was inside the grounds of the kremlin and i got to meet some of the draw participants. The likes of Fabio Capello there will, carand likes of Fabio Capello there will, car and gordon banks. A man who knows all about playing in goal at the highest level. He spoke to us. I asked him aboutjoe hart. He was very frank. Refreshingly honest. Lets hear from very frank. Refreshingly honest. Lets hearfrom gordon banks as to why he thinks it perhaps shouldnt bejoe hart in goal next summerfor england. The latest few games, i dont think hes doing all that well, be honest. Ive seen him make some terrible mistakes. A lot of the time coming is lucky they dont score a goal. It is staggering, to be honest. Ithinkjack score a goal. It is staggering, to be honest. I thinkjack butland score a goal. It is staggering, to be honest. Ithinkjack butland is score a goal. It is staggering, to be honest. I thinkjack butland is a really good goalkeeper. He has some class about him. I think he stands a chance. If he gives him a chance in the next two friendlies and he plays well, i think you ought to play in them. So, very frank and honest opinion they are from gordon banks. We will see of course Gareth Southgates final squad after the next couple of friendlies. But before all that, the focus of attention will be inside the kremlin in red square tomorrow. All the drama and excitement of the draw, you can follow it live on bbc television, on radio 5 live and on the bbc sport website. We will learn who and where england will play. Thank you. It looks absolutely freezing where you are thank you. Its a world cup that england might have been competing at with Sam Allardyce as their manager of course. But since his very brief stint with the national team, hes been boss of crystal palace. And now everton. Today hes signed an 18 month deal. Allardyce becomes the permanent successor to ronald koeman. Who was sacked last month with the club 18th in the premier league. Everton have earned two victories from their eight matches under caretaker manager David Unsworth with allardyce watching the 4 0 win over west ham last night from the stands. Its been revealed that coaches from black and ethnic minority backgrounds are still struggling to find work in english football. The annual report by the sports peoples think tank says progress in the last few years has been minimalfor bame candidates. With figures showing just 22 of the a82 senior coaching roles in english footballs top four divisions are held by bame coaches. Earlier, i spoke to former birmingham and derby defender michaeljohnson. He told me theres a generation of black players who arent being given the chance to make the transition to coaching. They have to work really hard just to get in front of decision makers. The pressure is on them. As a young player, my role models were the likes ofjohn barnes. Now you go into management and coaching, who is there . So the pressure of not only doing well but doing well for so many youngsters coming into the game. Na li in here, there is also the pressure of can they do well . The pressure is on told on some of the ethnic minority coaches and managers, particularly the likes of Chris Hughton in the premier league. David silva has signed a one Year Contract extension to keep him at Manchester City until 2020. The Spanish International made the move to city from valencia for £24 million in 2010. The midfielder has since gone on to win two premier league titles, an fa cup and two league cups during his time at the etihad. Coming up on sports day, i am at the wheelchair event in loughborough. I will bring you the latest from todays action. And a first for Team Scotland as the latest group of athletes are selected for next springs Commonwealth Games in australia. England all rounder ben stokes has signed for new zealand side canterbury. The ecb have have made him unavailable to play for england following his arrest in september on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm following an incident in bristol. They will not review that stance until a decision has been made on whether to charge him. Andy swiss reports from adelaide. Earlier on, england trained in sweltering conditions. Temperatures up sweltering conditions. Temperatures up into the 30s. There are forecast to drop significantly over the next 48 hours. By the time play gets under way on saturday, tempters expect to be done into the high teens. That will be much more to englands lighting. We are starting training and news came through of the signing of ben stokes for the new zealand side canterbury. He could make his debut on sunday. Is the second day of the test here. But it seems increasingly unlikely ben stokes will feature for england in this ashes series. You might need to wait several weeks before he finds out whether he will be charged. The ecb will wait for that decision before any review of whether he can play for england. But what do the england players make of it . Is this turning into something of a distraction for them . Earlier on, we heard from jimmy anderson. Its not something we really think about. We dont talk about it deliberately. It hasnt come up. We are really focused on trying to win this test series. I think its important we do focus on that because any distractions outside of our group will probably inhibit that. Were trying to really focus on the cricket. Jimmy anderson could be a key man as far as england are concerned here. The pink ball does have a tendency to swing under the floodlights and that would sit andersons style of bowling. Australia have the momentum after that victory in the first test in brisbane. They know if they win here in adelaide the ashes will be within touching distance. Andy swiss there reporting from adelaide for us. Well, as you heard there in that report, the subject of ben stokess immediate cricket future is never too far away. That of course lies for now in new zealand heres the canterbury coach gary stead. He could be here through until the end of the t 20 competition as well. Anytime you get to rub shoulders with the player of that calibre, there is an excitement for our players and i think thats great for us. Britains gordon reid came from a set down to win his second pool match at the wheelchair tennis masters in loughbrough this afternoon. With news of the raining paralympic mens singles champions match, as well a defeat for alfie hewett and victory for andy lapthorne, heres our reporter kate grey. It was another convincing victory for andy black fawn in the quad division, which means he is the first british person to make it through to the semifinals on saturday. He was up against rising star Keith Davidson from australia. He made a confident start, winning the first set 6 2. At times, it looked like it might go through to a third set. But his experience kicked m and he went through in straight sets. I had to be on my game today. I really pushed myself. It was nice to get a victory under my belt. Gordon reid managed to bounce back yesterday. Victory over his french opponent. Disappointment for alfie hewett who made a promising start in his match against his japanese opponent. Following treatment to his shoulder at the break, he never quite found his form again and lost the next two sets. My shoulder was aching at the start of the second. Unfortunately i dropped some intensity after that. That means both reid and hewitt will have to win their matches tomorrow if they wa nt to win their matches tomorrow if they want to stand any chances of making it through to the semifinals on saturday. Lets round up some of the days other sport now. Scarlets Centre Hadleigh Parkes will make his wales debut against south africa on saturday it comes on the day the new zealand born player qualifies through residency.

Were going to return to football and a goal thats being described as one of the best ever it also completed everton captain Wayne Rooneys First Premier League hat trick in six years. Rooney himself admitted that his effort from nearly 60 yards away was probably one of the best he has scored. 0lly foster has the story. All my word wayne rooney was just 16 when he scored at goodison park for the first time. Now he has over 300 goals to his name. As he beat the stranded joe hart, wayne rooney thinks this was his best yet. Fell to me. He was of call. I caught it sweet. I saw you celebrating as soon as you hit that. I hit it hard enough to go in. It has been done before. Beckham from the halfway
