hello there, i'm 0lly foster. here's what's coming up on sportsday this evening: getting to the "root" of the problem. the ashes are gone, but there's still fighting talk from the england captain. there's a huge amount to play for for this group of players. we've got to stay tight, we've got to stick together and we've got to put on a performance in one of the great test venues in world cricket. they're into the second half at old trafford. we'll have the latest from the game between manchester united and wolves. and we'll look ahead to the world darts championship final at the ally pally. will it be bully boy or snakebite for the title? hello there. welcome along. all the football coming up injust a moment, but we're going to start with cricket. it was just six days ago that england were skittled for 68 runs in the third test, another innings defeat in the series, and australia had retained the ashes. six days to regroup, you'd have thought, but the head coach chris silverwood has covid. he's in isolation along with most of his backroom staff. farfrom idealfor the beleagured joe root ahead of tomorrow's fourth test in sydney. he will lead the side for a 60th time, an england test record. his captaincy has come under intense scrutiny, but speaking today, he is just focused on his team as they look to avoid a whitewash. it's obviously been challenging couple of weeks for us, and a challenging week in particular this last few days, we had a few things thrown at us and we've just got to manage it as best we can. obviously, it a pleated coaching group, challenges around the games as well as games themselves. we recommended it the best we can. it's very disappointing how the ashes are going, but whether it be putting pride back into the badge, making sure we get those test championship points, for individuals, making sure that they are pushing hard to cement their spots in the team, there's a huge amount to play for for this group of players. we've got to stay tight, we've got to stay together and we've got to put in a performance in one of the best test venues in test cricket. i of the best test venues in test cricket. , , ., .,

important thing, which is trying to propel well and putting performances out there. and as i say, we got two opportunities to dojust out there. and as i say, we got two opportunities to do just that, turn things around, take something away from the store, and putting performances that in england test team should do. so granted it has been a challenge, and there have been a challenge, and there have been things to deal with the way from the games. it is part and parcel of the world we live in currently. it's got to manage the best we can. currently. it's got to manage the best we can-—

have got two big games here to manage well and then, the future, we will look at the end of the store. so many questions around root's captaincy. contrast the mood in england's camp with australia's, the ashes secured, and the feeling that they are only getting better. the guys are in a really good place. we've played some really good cricket so far throughout. and we're still a young side, building together as a group, and we want to keep getting better as a team — so, whilst we've got the foot on the throat, so to speak, we want to continue the momentum and have another good week out here in sydney. hopefully the weather holds off, i'm hearing the forecast isn't great, so hopefully we can get some good cricket in and have another good week. india are looking to win a test series in south africa for the first time. they won the first test but have had a shaky start to the second. after winning the toss, they were bowled out forjust over 200 on the first day injohannesburg. imran sidat reports. india are flying high in this series, but they were dealt a blow ahead of play, with their talisman virat kohli ruled out through injury. that meant kl rahul would captain the side for the first time, he was eager to lead by example. the indian opener navigated the first hour before marco jansen struck straight after the drinks break. the south african tails were up, with duanne 0livier sending cheteshwar pujara back to the pavilion soon after, and the very next fall, the man they call the enforcer had another, as he claimed his 50th test wicket. the tourists looked to be studying the ship, but then a moment of magic in the field sparks an indian collapse. rahul reached his half—century before he went for one big too many. and the wickets continued to tumble, as india were scheduled for 202 just after tea. in response, the host got off to the worst possible start, as he was trapped lbw before bad light brought in and to a frantic opening day. imran sidat, bbc news. manchester united and wolves are playing right now in the premier league. united defender philjones is playing his first game in almost two years. he was draughted into the backline with rafael varane with captain harry maguire and eric bailly dropping out. cristiano ronaldo has taken the captain's armband, edinson cavani starting alongside him up front. cavani blazed a long range effort over the top. the best chance fell to wolves, ruben neves's effort tipped over by david de gea. goal—less at half—time. just kicked off the second half, no goals yet at old trafford. there's commentary of the game on 5live right now. 0r or you 0ryou can or you can follow it on the bbc sport website. bit more football. just two out of the five scheduled games in the championship were played because of covid postponements. derby boss wayne rooney didn't travel to reading as a precaution — he tested negative for coronavirus but has cold—like symptoms. he watched from afar as his side salvaged a point late on. reading hadn't played for 23 days, but two goals from junior hoilett had them looking good for a win with five minutes to go. a mistake from reading keeper luke southwood gifted derby a goal — colin kazim—richards pulled one back. and then in injury time, curtis davies saved a point for derby. great header. they're still bottom but unbeaten in four and are still 11 points behind reading, who arejust above the relegation zone. they are still in the knicks for going down, writing —— —— in the mix for going down, reading. that other game in the championship was at stoke. and despite taking the lead, their push for the play—offs has been dented after losing 2—1 to preston. andrew hughes with the winner in the last ten minutes. ferran torres was given a great reception by barcelona fans at the nou camp today. the spanish striker has joined from manchester city and says that he only used the premier league champions as a "stepping stone"

time for the spanish super cup semifinal against real madrid next week. a quick look at some of the other headlines for you now. the four—time tour de france winner chris froome has had a setback

rights in the public interest, promoting openness by public bodies and data privacy for individuals. for the past five years, the commissioner has been elizabeth denham, and she leaves her post at the end of november. elizabeth, thank you very much indeed for speaking to the bbc. so you've been information commissioner since 2016, summer of 2016, a particularly lively period in british politics. were you quite aware of what you were getting into, in terms of the sheer scale, the gargantuan power of, in particular, the californian tech companies that have been so much of your focus? well, i had been in the cross hairs of some of those big companies in my previous work in canada, but what i didn't know, and i think none of us knew, the massive acceleration of information communications technologies, the take—up of services online and also the size and scope of these companies that are bigger than nation states. and the lobbying power that comes with it, because these companies have added trillions of dollars in their power and they spend some of that money trying to stop, through lobbying, people like you from regulating them. the other thing that i've learned in this job is that big tech not only has lobbying power, but they also have really deep pockets. so when it comes to litigating, and these companies are definitely willing to litigate against public authorities like my office, deep pockets means that there's an inequity of arms when we're tackling these big companies. so, i mean, just the acceleration of technology and, especially with the pandemic, how much of our lives we now spend online, this has been a change that i couldn't have anticipated. well, you had an early skirmish which maybe became a battle when, in 2017, you launched an investigation into use of personal information and political influence. the scale of your investigation was completely unprecedented for a data protection authority anywhere in the world. 0ne element of your investigation, a big element, was the eu referendum. can you just remind us what your conclusion was on that specifically? we were looking at more than 30 organisations that were part of data—enabled political campaigning, so that's why it was really important to look at the political parties, we needed to look at the data brokers who provide a lot of this data, the platform, particularly facebook, and the company that was the centre of this crisis and these questions, which was cambridge analytica, a british company.
