Eight oclock, looking at the damage caused by flooding after homes in england were evacuated, motorists stranded and trains cancelled and we will have a review of tomorrows newspapers. That is all ahead, on bbc news. Now it is time for sportsday. Hello, and welcome to sportsday. Lots in store this evening, including, another busy day at the womens world cup in france. Join me in le havre, as i bring you the latest news from the england camp. We will also be hearing from the scotla nd we will also be hearing from the scotland squad, they are looking for a positive response to defeat in their opening match. Elsewhere, rock and roll, at pebble beach, this yea rs and roll, at pebble beach, this years us open gets under way in california. And also coming up in the programme, she is the undisputed champion of the world, katie taylor tells us just what it means for womens boxing. In the uk, in ireland, it is, there are so many female boxers and that is the most satisfying part of it. It isa it is a busy week of sport with International Tournaments and major championships taking place across the globe, we will begin with the womens world cup in football, both scotla nd womens world cup in football, both scotland and england prepare for important second matches in group d tomorrow. We have been with the england camp. Just over 24 hours from now, here in le havre, into and will be taking on argentina in their second group game of the world cup, a win would see them through to the knockout stages, and with a match to spare. All 23 players trained today, although toni duggan, once again, training separately, doing independent strength and conditioning work because she is still recovering from a thigh problem, she looks to be a concern for the game tomorrow, but millie bright is recovering from the shoulder problem, and stokes, with her knee issue, look fit to start. The only other potential problem for phil neville could be jade moore, in central midfield, leaving training a little early. I have been speaking with jade ahead of the game, she says that going back four years ago to the world cup in canada, remember, they claimed that wonderful bronze medal. She says pa rt wonderful bronze medal. She says part of the reason they did so well is because mark sampson change the tea m is because mark sampson change the team up so much, in fact, 22 of the 23 players in that squad all got minutes on the pitch. Could that tactic be something that will help the lioness is once again at this world cup . The team changed near enough every single game, and that really helps us, to be able to adapt in different situations, and kept other teams guessing as well, on the flip side. Lionesses. People did not look at england and think, this is how we can counteract them, they think, what do we do . We dont know who they are going to play, how they will start, what formation they will play, it keeps people guessing and thatis play, it keeps people guessing and that is something that is going to be beneficial to us in this tournament if we can do the same. Victory here tomorrow night and the lionesses are through to the last 16, their opponents, argentina, got a surprise draw againstjapan in the opening match, japan are the winners in 2011 and runners up, later, many are predicting the match will not be as easy as first thought for the lionesses and phil nevilles press conferences coming up at the stadium. As for the match tomorrow, you can follow it across the bbc. And we are very fortu nate follow it across the bbc. And we are very fortunate with our timing this evening, phil neville addressing the media right now, ahead of the game, lets see what he has to say. Talk us lets see what he has to say. Talk us through your love for football, how it was orchestrated and sparked by that, and also, what the england argentina fixture traditionally means, the rivalry. Could that affect the evening . I dont think it will affect the evening but there is great history between the countries, thinking back, 1986, the michael owen goal, 1998, the David Beckham goal, 2002, sapporo. Standout moment. Knocked us out of the world cup in1998 as moment. Knocked us out of the world cup in 1998 as well. Outstanding history between both sets of countries, but when we looked at the group, we saw the rivalry of scotla nd group, we saw the rivalry of scotland and argentina, and what you have got with this game is the football history rivalry. And i think that is what we have to handle tomorrow, a country unbelievably proud. When you look at the reaction of those players, when they got their first world cup point, against japan, special they got their first world cup point, againstjapan, special moment for their country. You look at that, they give their kids 90 minutes off school to watch that game against japan, that is what it means to that country. They are going to show the same kind of fight that you expect from any argentinian game, they have quality and a little number ten who isa quality and a little number ten who is a fantastic little player, which most argentinian teams of the last 20 years have had, i special number ten. Massive similarities. If you watch them play, they play like south american teams. When the draw was made, the scotland argentina games were games where you was made, the scotland argentina games were games where you thought they have to handle the occasion as well as the game, handle the rivalry, the emotion, both scotland and argentina. This is another game where we will have to handle that kind of emotion. England manager phil neville, and after defeat to his england side, scotla nd after defeat to his england side, scotland will be desperate for all three points tomorrow, but they will be taking on a side, also hoping for their first be taking on a side, also hoping for theirfirst win in be taking on a side, also hoping for their first win in the tournament, up their first win in the tournament, up against the 2015 runners up, japan. 30,000 capacity stadium where japan will play scotland tomorrow afternoon, the head coach hasjust finished speaking to the media, ahead of the match, and she has said that she and her Coaching Staff had watched japan play argentina in the 00 watched japan play argentina in the 0 0 draw. Japan did not play terribly well but surely care said that the team that came runners up in the last world cup and which won it in 2011 must not be underestimated. Japan are a very technical side and will be extremely well organised for tomorrow afternoons match. Surely care work for a Japanese Company in livingston for a Japanese Company in livingston for 17 years, so i asked her whether she felt she had an understanding of the japanese mentality. The value is installed, disciplined, organised. That is what we have tried to instill in ourteam, that is what we have tried to instill in our team, i have that is what we have tried to instill in ourteam, i have been that is what we have tried to instill in our team, i have been a huge admirerof instill in our team, i have been a huge admirer of the Japanese Team for many years. World cup winners, runners up, you know, they are a Formidable Team and that should not be lost here, just because they drew against argentina. The values, you can see that carries the pitch, that is why they are so organised and structured on the pitch. Not quite so warm here, 28 degrees during the england match, here, it has been raining rather a lot, and the chilli against sweden match had to be paused momentarily, because of the threat of lightning. Heavy rain has interrupted scotland training on several occasions. Some think the squad may be used to, i hear you say. Chilly. But the scotland captain, plays her Club Football in the usa, she has said that she has not been a fan of the weather here. Chile. You know that i like the heat, so this rain has been terrible laughter no, the nature of the game was difficult, especially for the amount of running, you saw how much we have grown, at the end of the game, we we re grown, at the end of the game, we were as strong as england were. We finished it strongly. The conditions play a big factor, always. The rain hmmfi play a big factor, always. The rain forecast for tomorrow again. That will bring its own challenges. Come rain orshine, it will bring its own challenges. Come rain or shine, it is crucial that scotla nd rain or shine, it is crucial that scotland get at least a draw against japan tomorrow, another loss would be catastrophic for their bid to get out of the group stages. In 24 hours time, we will know whether scotla nd hours time, we will know whether scotland are facing a long trip home or whether they are in a very strong position indeed. We know every game ata position indeed. We know every game at a world cup is important, currently a great game going on, australia against brazil, group c, one of the best games of the tournament so far, brazil took the lead from the spot, and then went 20 lead from the spot, and then went 2 0 after this header, fourth goal of the tournament from cristiani. Long range shot here from Chloe Lagarzo and then thanks to var once again, this own goalfrom hickman alves was awarded despite the australian forward being given offside, that has given the matildas 32 offside, that has given the matildas 3 2 lead, live pictures, just under ten minutes to go from montpelier, still 3 2, a win for australia would ta ke still 3 2, a win for australia would take them level with brazil in group chloe logarzo.

The weather has got the better of another game in the cricket world cup, the match between india and new zealand at trent bridge was abandoned without a ball being bowled, fourth match in the tournament to be lost to rain, the previous record was just two, persistent rain in nottingham prevented the captain is even getting out for the task, if every cloud has a silver lining, both teams remain unbeaten, new zealand top the table and india are third. England are due to take on the west indies, it looks to be one of the most attractive fixtures in the tournament so far. Sports correspondentjoe wilson has more. Stop me if youve heard this one before, rain disrupted events here at hampshire today, unfortunately, you cannot play a cricket match indoors, not in the world cup, but you can practice there are, that is where england went today. The relief is thatjos buttler is fit, and ready to fulfil all the roles that england will need from him in this game against the west indies, there isa game against the west indies, there is a concern about mark wood, not for the first time, we saw him bat in the nets today but he has ankle soreness, therefore, very unlikely england would pick him for the game u nless england would pick him for the game unless they felt sure that he could bowl at his fastest, which will make england even more relieved that they can turn to archer, a young man, who grew up in the caribbean, and followed his dream to play in and for england. Eion morgan, born and bred in ireland, has a similar experience of coming up against his country of birth. Jofra archer. Being in that position myself, it feels different the first time that you play against a side that you could play for or play against. Im sure that he will handle it as he has done Everything Else in the tournament. Do you think the opportunity is more likely to inspire him, you have worked with him in an england contact. Every challenge he has come up against, he has come out the other side of it really well. So, letsjust see how it goes. We are not expecting anything majorly different. Jofra archer grew up in barbados, as did jason holder, the west indies captain. With any of your players be especially keen to be hitting boundaries against jofra archer . Interesting question, i think, well, it is something that has been talked up it is something that has been talked up in the press and the media and we are looking forward to the challenge, but i dont want to limit it to jofra archer challenge, but i dont want to limit it tojofra archerjust. Challenge, but i dont want to limit it to jofra archerjust. When asked today, whether he would get into the west indies side, he simply replied, hes english. It is a group of talented fast bowlers, jason holder confirmed today that Sheldon Cotterell will keep on saluting. Englands women are also taking on the west indies, and rain delay, it means that there are a match is 39 overs a side, england batting, amy jones made an impressive 80, sarah taylor, adding 70, england look to build an imposing total, 220 4 in the 37th over, already leading 2 0 in the three match series. Not often on sportsday that we get to talk to an undisputed boxing champion of the world. Luckily, we got to speak to Irelands Katie Taylor earlier. Shes celebrating after a narrow points decision over belgiums Delphine Persoon at Madison Square gardens. I asked her how it felt to achieve this huge career landmark. Its absolutely fantastic, since i turned professionaljust less than three years ago this is something i dreamt of, this is the ultimate goal, this is the pinnacle of boxing, it is so great to have all five belts. Dream come true. Strange reaction at the end of the fight, you took herher wbc title but some felt that she won the fight, what did you make of it, have you watched it back . I have not, the final bell, my coach, my manager, brian peters, they reassured me that they thought that i had done enough in the early rounds to win the fight. It was very close and i knew going into it, it was going to be the hardest in my career. I needed to dig deep. That is exactly how a fight goes, i dug deep, i felt i was a deserving winner. Is this a sign of how big womens boxing can be, the attention that was shown to your fight, especially that in Madison Square garden. Absolutely extraordinary, when i first started boxing, ten, 11 years old, womens boxing wasnt even allowed at the time, professional, now to see all the boxes at home and in the uk, it is so full of womens boxing, that is a satisfying part of this journey. What sort of reaction do you get backin what sort of reaction do you get back in ireland, can you walk down the street, are you getting mobbed . I try to live a quiet life, but the support i get from home, that has been tremendous, especially since the fight last week, definitely has been hard to walk down the street. Im definitely in a great position, being the champion. Yeah, i am not complaining about it at all. Congratulations to her. Back to australia against brazil at the womens world cup, scintillating match so far, brazil putting on the pressure, late chance for them, already into time added on, five minutes of that in that game. Brazil 20 minutes of that in that game. Brazil 2 0 up at the start of the game, now they trail 3 2 as you can see, possible penalty, with vi are, we will not wait for the check but it has played a big part in the game so far. Australia var. Could have had one of their own, brazil got one of their own, mata scored it, fifth goal ina of their own, mata scored it, fifth goal in a separate world cup
