automatically, but this time around, there are four thirds placed teams that will also qualify as well. so, you know, gilmore has been talking about how special it would be to get through to the knockout stages for the first time come about, of course, there are other names in the scotland line—up, other big names as well. let's ta ke take a look at a few of them now. 5, and prepares to him who can we watch out for? let's start with captain andy robertson. champions league winner and premier league winner with liverpool in 2020, he is the most accomplished of the squad and a natural born

illness. now, we don't have any details as to what that illness is or how serious it is, but it will be a concern for because remember, they are already here in germany without harry mcguire. they won't want to be missing another one of their key central defenders. so they will be keeping theirfingers central defenders. so they will be keeping their fingers crossed that it is nothing too serious. but one man who was out there training early around today was crystal palace's adam walton. now, remember, adam walton only made his premier league debut in february. now here he is with

until england's opening match against serbia on sunday. great stuff. thank you so much. now, after all the speculation over the future of manchester united manager erik ten hag, the news arrived late last night, that the dutchman would remain in charge. with united finishing a disappointing eighth in the premier league, but winning the fa cup, the club's board conducted a post season review on his position and have decided he'll stay. patrick gearey has more. the day that saved united's season season and probably saved his job, despite all the doubts before and since the cup final, erik ten hag survives. after the euphoria of beating manchester city dissipated, the co—owner sirjim radcliffe and the co—owner sirjim radcliffe and the club's board have been conducting a sober review of united's

better of the red devil they know. you will microphone the eventualities had been looked up. one of those has to involve getting rid of the person who is manager of the football club. and therefore, you have to also think there is nobody out there who is better than erik ten hag at this current moment in time— current moment in time they've been fillin: holes current moment in time they've been

look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. arsenal's victoria pelova is facing an extended spell on the sidelines and will need surgery. the netherlands player ruptured her anterior crutiate ligament on interntional duty. olympic champion ariarne titmus has broken the 200 metres freestyle world record ahead of the paris games. she did so in a duel with the previous record holder and club team—mate mollie 0'callaghan at australia's olympic trials in brisbane. and paralympic champion stephen miller will retire from para—athletics at the end of the season, after a career spanning four decades. miller was born with cerebral palsy and is one of paralymicgb's most decorated athletes winning 34 major international medals. before we move on some sad news to bring you, nba legend jerry west, who's silouette inspired the league logo, has died at the age of 86. west featured in nine nba finals with the la lakers and was an all—star in every season of his 14—year playing career. he was the third player in league history to reach 25,000 points, and later became a coach and basketball executive. it's the final night at the european athletics championships in rome and keely hodgkinson leads the way for british hopes of medal succes. she's looking to defend her 800m title and is the big favourite in that. but there's other hopes too in the relays and also the men's1500m, so let's get to our correspondent natalie pirks who's at the olympic stadium. napoli, it's very hard, isn't it, to look past that 800 metre final. yeah, absolutely. she's three seconds faster than anyone else in that field, so we are all here thinking that is a gold. you can never believe that there's actually going to happen until she is out there, but that is as close as she can possibly get. we always call her the bridesmaid, don't we, but a gold here would really set her up for paris. in other places, we've got the men's four by 400 relay, that is around 815 your time, there in lane seven alongside italy and the reigning champion �*s in that event. straight after that you've got the women's 800 as we have talked about. then it is the men's 10,000 women's 800 as we have talked about. then it is the men's10,000 metres there are three british men in that event, patric and zach mohammed. the second british man of all time and he is the only man in the final, only one other man in that final has run faster than him all year, so britain could be in a really good shout of metals there. they make up the men's 1500, shout of metals there. they make up the men's1500, that's the turn of... he's already the 5000. if he wins that tonight, he will have done the hat trick of doubles at the last three european championships. in february, he could actually barely walk he was in so much pain, but he's been in great form ever since, and the night is going to end with the women's four by 100 m, britain's women qualify posting the fastest time in europe this season. we don't know yet who is running, of course. we will know an hour before hand, but fresh from her 200 silver metre last night of course at the weekend, they are both in the squad, so both of them are running tonight, that could be another goalfor of them are running tonight, that could be another goal for britain, and of course, remember, no men in the men's four by 100 because even though britain are the reigning champion in that event at every european championship since 2014, they didn't make it out of the heat. because it's the last evening of these championships, i wonder what you make of the performances over the last five days ahead of, of course, the olympics in paris. well, so far here, we have seen 13 championship records broken into hundred 47 personal bests, so a lot of athletes have arrived here in fantastic form from it's been a train for italy on the track. we keep hearing their anthem night after night, tangled medal so far for them. after night, tangled medal so far forthem. britain after night, tangled medal so far for them. britain are currently fifth in the middle table with 11 overall. 0nly fifth in the middle table with 11 overall. only two of those gold commanded munich two years ago, they won the most amount of metals of any nation with 20. 0f won the most amount of metals of any nation with 20. of course, that wasn't an olympic year and a lot of big names pulled out injured. pulling outjust before the championship started. i think the crowds we have seen, the ones that have come have been very partisan, very vocal. the crowds have not been brilliant, a stark contrast to what we saw in budapest, and a local organising committee told me today that 95,000 tickets were sold in a 72,000 seat stadium for the entire six days and when i asked them whether they were happy with the crowds they said to very importantly it was very important for them to have people who love athletics in this stadium, so i think that probably tells its own story. 0k, napoli, thank you so much. there is coverage of the final evening session on the bbc iplayer as well. fast bowlerjosh hazlewood has admitted that it is in australia's "best interest" for england to be eliminated in the t20 world cup group stage. australia qualified for the super eights with a comprehensive nine—wicket win over namibia, taking just 34 balls to knock off the target after bowling namibia out for 72 on tuesday. that leaves england and scotland to battle it out for second place in group b. so here's how that table looks — australia and scotland in those qualification spots while england sit fourth. jos buttler�*s side need to beat oman and namibia to have any chance of progressing but, even if they do, net run—rate could determine who goes through. and that gives australia, who face scotland on sunday, a potentially key role in determining who else will advance from group b. well, australia'sjosh hazlewood's remarks in response to a question about that has caused a bit of controversy. as you said, they are probably one of the top few teams, you know, we have had some newcomers in t20 cricket. if we can get them in the tournament, vets and our best interest as well, yeah, interesting to see. never seen it before as a team i don't think, so whether we have discussions or not, we will just try to play at the way we do tonight. so what do the england camp make of it all? here's their coach matthew mott. i'm going to be totally honest, i haven't— i'm going to be totally honest, i haven't heard them in the context. i was informed about

in new york. both sides went into the match unbeaten and the usa's great start has really captured the imagination of the country. but usa struggled with the bat today — india's quality with the ball shining through, mohammed siraj here taking a fantastic catch as india restricted the hosts to 110 for eight in their innings. india's chase has not been without trouble though, virat kohli out for a duck first ball but they are currently 88 for three, needing 23 from 23 balls for a win that would send them through to the super eights tennis now, and two of the biggest names in the sport have been paired together for the olympic doubles. both rafa nadal and carlos alcaraz will represent spain together in paris, with the tennis event, of course being played at roland garros — plenty of good memories for nadal a 14 time winner of the french open. and now the latest champion on clay there, alcaraz, a formidable pairing. back in the uk dan evans is through to the quarterfinals of the nottingham 0pen — after a straight sets victory over henry searle. in a match lasting two hours — evans edged ahead with this ace after turning around a first set tie—break. but searle remained in contention, before experienced told, with evans winning the match by edging another tie—break. in the women's draw, british number one katie boulter is also through to the quarterfinals after beating canada's rebecca marino in straight sets. boulter is looking to defend her title in nottingham, after overcoming harriet dart in the first round. now, it wouldn't be a us open in golf, without the build up being dominated by talk of how tough the course is. players have been battling lightning fast greens in practice for the major which gets under way tomorrow — with tiger woods saying he expects the number two course at pinehurst to be a "war of attrition". 0ur golf correspondent iain carter is in north carolina for us, a tough course, but also plenty of other talking points, including the withdrawl of a former champion. the champion a couple of years ago he is a live player now and he's been suffering with a foot problem and so deep frustration for him after he announced late yesterday that he wouldn't be competing this week, but he will be spared from as you say, and almighty test of golf, just being out there on the golf course watching these players trying to work out how they cope with greens that are like upturned sources, so anything that is hit into them that isn't pinpoint accurate will be repelled by the slopes and then lead devilishly difficult chips and parts from off the putting surfaces. and it is going to be a really arduous test, i feel for these players and what they're going to be very hot conditions as well. it they're going to be very hot conditions as well.- they're going to be very hot conditions as well. it will be fascinating _ conditions as well. it will be fascinating to _ conditions as well. it will be fascinating to see. -

this is the challenge he needs. yes, he seems to be up for every challenge that is put in his way at the moment. the reigning masters champion at the last major come of the pga, to derail his hopes of a grand slam. finished in the top at memorial last week. so he comes in here with so much as well. the other players know that he is the man to beat and he has ridiculously short odds, but they feel that they are completely justified as long as he can make that part or behave, his ball striking from tee to green really does set him out to be the man to beat this week. great stuff. ian carter in north carolina for us, thank you. there will be live commentary on the next four days on the bbc sport website and app and audio commentary on bbc sounds on saturday and sunday. finally on sportsday, world number one claire taggart says she is determined to "enjoy the experience" of the paralympics after being named in the great britain boccia team for paris. the 29—year—old from northern ireland will appear in her third paralympics and is one of the medalfavourites, after winning the world championships in 2022. i think going into the games as world number one is terrifying and exciting at the same time. i'm really proud of my achievements and my parents and family and friends are really proud of everything i've achieved so far and that does put the level of expectation and pressure both internally and externally. i would like to go to the games and play the best i can play at that exact moment and come away having left everything on the court and see what happens. i'm not giving you an answer about metals or anything like that. it's not happening. ijust need to go there and enjoy the experience and see what happens. bud and enjoy the experience and see what happens-— what

reminder of our top story before we go scotland's fans are in good spirits ahead of their first match against germany on friday as the countdoen to euro 2024 continues, that's all from sportsday. hello. it's been another day of below average temperatures across most parts of the uk. with that, we've seen a fair amount of cloud, but also a fair amount of dry weather. this cool air mass, though, is set to be replaced by something that — on the face of it — looks a little bit warmer, a change in wind direction. but with that, we see this frontal system pushing in from the west. that will bring some heavy rain and some quite brisk winds. and i think by virtue of the cloud, the rain, the strong winds, it will still feel rather cool for many of us. but, actually, through tonight, it is going to be decidedly chilly where we keep these clear skies overhead. we'll see a few mist and fog patches here and there, cloud and rain then spreading into parts of northern ireland, perhaps the far west of wales, the west of cornwall, by the end of the night here, turning a little bit milder. but where we keep those clear skies, decidedly chilly to start thursday morning. some parts of scotland out in the countryside starting their day around 2—3 celsius, but with some sunshine. however, this band of cloud and rain will be spreading in across western areas, becoming quite slow moving, actually. so the rain heavy and persistent across the southwest of england and wales, 20—30 millimetres of rain possible. and around some western coasts, gusts of wind of 50 miles per hour or more. quite unusual for this time of year. that rain spreading across the isle of man into north west england, affecting northern ireland, southwestern and central parts of scotland. eastern england holding onto some mostly dry conditions. northern scotland holding on to a little bit of sunshine. temperatures here actually a little bit higher than they have been. we could see highs of 17 degrees now through thursday nights into friday. that band of rain will continue to drive its way and northwards lingering, i think across northern parts of scotland for the first part of friday morning and then to the south of that, well, it is a mix of sunny spells and showers. the showers quite plentiful, actually. there'll be lots of them. some will be heavy, some will be thundery. temperatures a little bit higher than they have been, 13 to 19 degrees, but that's still a touch below the seasonal average. what about the weekend? well, low pressure will remain in charge of the scene. so that is going to bring showers or longer spells of rain. the showers on saturday be quite widespread. some of them will be on the heavy side. by sunday, the showers perhaps focusing across the north of the uk, something a little bit drierfurther south, not quite as cool as it has been. live from london, this is bbc news. rishi sunak has insisted he has "absolutely not" lost hope of winning the general election — after defence secretary grant shapps warned voters against giving labour a "supermajority". the labour leader keeps her keir starmer says if you want change, you have to vote for it. the green party delivers its election manifesto for england and wales, pledging tax increases to a fund and wales, pledging tax increases to fund an investment in health care and clean energy. we were in
