sportsday — i'mjohn watson. out but not down — naomi osaka takes the positives from defeat the tiny african nation causing an upset for the ages. i cannot be sad about that. i am not god. i cannot win every match. the tiny african nation causing an upset for the ages. improving england's fortunes after their ashes humiliation. also coming up in the programme... the sky's the limit for charlotte bankes. hoping to land hoping to [and olympic gold. welcome. an early exit for the defending champion at the australian open. after four months away from the game last year was seeing the positives as was ralph and a doubt who said he played his best match since his return from a foot injury so bad he thought he would never play again. joe lynskey rounds up all the big talking points from day five in melbourne. naomi osaka won this title last year, but since then for her so much has changed. in 2022, she is rebuilding her career and this was a bump in the road. beaten by an unseeded 20—year—old in the past for osaka, this match might have been routine. fora osaka, this match might have been routine. for a while it looked just that. osaka won the first set and had break points in a second, but here came to fight back of amanda. who now showed the touch of one of the game's rising stars. she won her first tour title at just 17. the game's rising stars. she won her first tour title atjust 17. the youngest to do so since serena williams. she is now showing she can do it at the slams. the deciding set went to a first attend tie—break and she held her nerve. osaka hasjust come back from a four month break, for her still, there is progress. another title in melbourne was one miracle to fire. i’m another title in melbourne was one miracle to fire.— miracle to fire. i'm not god. i can't

lost but i'm heavy with how it went.— heavy with how it went. honestly come i haven't _ heavy with how it went. honestly come i haven't had _ heavy with how it went. honestly come i haven't had that -

favourite, who here tries to be the first home winner since the 70s. —— australian favourite. so far in the spotlight, untroubled. while in the men's draw, rafa nadal waits in the shadows with no backdrop of edge back home now he is the man who can reach 21 major titles. it took four sets to beat karen, and rafa nadal is still pumped, still seeking a first title here since 2009, and another notch on an extraordinary tally. certainly would be some stray, as it is for osaka after her difficult and to the season last year. but as commentatorjonathan overend told me there are reasons for osaka to feel positive. for everything that has happened in her life both on and off the court in the past 12 months, it's hazy to forget that she is still the defending champion. she won this title last year, so even though she seated 13, she came in with a lot of expectation, she was a tip for a number of people who thought that she had the quality now back playing at her best again to win this title. our problem today, came up against a fantastic player. only 20 years of age, but amanda of the united states was a brilliantjunior and in 2019 reach the semifinals of the open at the age of 17. so we have known all about her talent for a long time and she proved it on the court today coming from behind to beat osaka having lost the first set, winning a decisive ten point tie—break and showing true class. there's no reason why that when should end here. �* , ., ., ., ., , ., here. i'm 'ust going to have to show that here. i'm just going to have to show that again. — here. i'm just

her shoulders, but she will be one of the favourites to go on and when the title. ,, �* , , ., ., title. she's been dealing with that exnectation _ title. she's been dealing with that expectation

she used to being a grand slam champion. that feeling has got to be different. he is at—home support to your advantage. there's no negatives about having an entire stadium on your side, although sport works in funny ways. we have seen that the years. so this matchup will be tremendous. if you look at the top half of the woman's draw. it's stacked with talent. winning slams in the past, a grand slam final and the spaniard is a grand slam champion of the future. a, grand slam champion of the future. a lot of very talented players with a lot of very talented players with a lot of very talented

potentially go on where he hasn't had muchjoy in takes to potentially go on where he hasn't had much joy in the past? rafa nadal was rolling back the years and times with his match as who is a talented player. but rafa nadal was too strong for him, especially over the first two sets. to his credit, he fought back admirably and won the third set but rafa nadal raced through the fourth. amazing to think that he has only one the australian open once and that was way back in 2009. so could it be 13 years later that he winds his second australian open. at times, he showed today that he is more than capable. you times, he showed today that he is more than capable.— more than capable. you will not write him _ more than capable. you will not write him off, _ more than capable. you will

after suffering an injury training with club side saracens. farrell was retained as england skipper earlier this week by head coach eddiejones, despite not playing since november because of an ankle problem. he had hoped to return against london irish in the challenge cup on sunday but he's now been ruled out. england take on scotland in two weeks' time. the other big line involves scotland's women, who've made it into the world cup play—off final after two of their rivals withdrew. they'll take on kazakhstan or colombia in a one—off match in dubai on 25th february, with hong kong and samoa unable to play due to covid travel restrictions. and the winners willjoin the group including australia, wales and hosts new zealand for delayed tournament, which starts on the 8th of october. we could have the biggest game of the weekend in the premier league tonight, when you consider how much hinges on it for both sides. it's watford against norwich and if either are to stand any hope of escaping relegation, this is a match they need to win. the hosts just outside the bottom three, one point ahead of tonight's opponents. jonathan pierce will be commentating for bbc radio 5 live tonight. hello. and isaac in here, the stewards just getting the seat ready for the sake like a cop. their 100th meeting between the two. in recent years are most important because they say three for

kick—off is at 7.45 and you can see highlights on sportscene at 10.30 this evening, on bbc one in scotland, as well as last night's game, with hibs just scraping past cove rangers. next tonight — arrests at football matches in the top five leagues in england are at their highest in years. research from the uk football policing unit on the first half of this season has shown the increase in disturbances at grounds. there were incidents at almost half of all games in the premier league, english football league and national league, up from 34% in the same period last season — 759 reported incidents in total — and there were 802 football related arrests — an increase in 47% — the highest number since they started collating back in 2015. geoff pearson, a senior lecturer in criminal law at the university of manchester, says this is a "national uptick" in violence and disorder. it may be that we've got a post lockdown effect which is that fans didn't have the opportunity for that sort of transgressive behaviour during the lockdown, and are now essentially letting their hair down and they are engaging in more of that behaviour that is challenging and can be on the borderline of criminalisty. it may also be that because this is a turnover in terms of ticket holders during lockdown for various reasons, we are getting more and regular people who are attending are not deterred to the same effect. we've talked many times on this programme about arsenal's struggles but it's notjust form that's causing them problems at the moment. ill—discipline has become a regularfeature — in last night's 2—0 defeat to liverpool in the second leg of their league cup semifinal, they had a player sent off for the third time in a month. we played with ten men. to beat ben, ten then becomes a real challenge and there with the amount of players we have out, we have to play consistently with the level of players and we have to learn. there's more on arsenal's recent ill—discipline on the football news show, which you can watch right now on the iplayer, as well as the bbc sport website and app. there's a new edition every week day. the player sent off for arsenal last night was thomas partey. he'd onlyjust returned to the squad from the africa cup of nations after his side ghana were knocked out, following their defeat to the comoros islands, who have pulled off the sporting achievement of the week. africa's fourth smallest country has they've qualified for the last 16. they may have been unfamiliar to many before the tournament, but not now, after beating the much—fancied four time champions in ghana on tuesday, then celebrating last night, as they watched sierra leone draw 1—1 with equatorial guinea, which took them through to the knock—out stage as one of the best third placed sides. it's a remarkable achievement for the four—island archipelago and its population of 850,000 people. they face the hosts cameroon in the next round on monday, and their defender said bakari has been speaking to isaac fanin about their debt of gratitude to the equatorial guinea goalkeeper. the penalty was one of the most emotional moments in my life so far because the penalty killed us, you know? went to players they say you are going to miss, you are going to miss and the keeper made to save. they went crazy. it was a very great moment. if they went crazy. it was

qualification, he's a good guy. a great story, we will wait to see whether or not it continues. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the sports news today. adrien fourmaux and co—driver, alexandre coria, had a lucky escape after crashing on stage three of the monte carlo rally. the frenchmen climbed unhurt from their wrecked ford. their team mate sebastien loeb is currently

in high winds on day two. he's 7—under—par, a shot ahead of a group including ian poulter, who said he was "hanging on for dear life" in the wind. wayne willgress is making up for last year's disappointment at the world indoor bowls championship. he's through to the semi—finals in great yarmouth after beating 2006 champion mervyn king. he'll take on paul foster tomorrow. willgress reached

night. a fair bit of cloud, but a few breaks are likely for a while across in southern and eastern parts of eastern scotland as well. these areas will be quite chilly with the risk of the frost. nowhere near as cold as it was. now there is a little bit of rain and drizzle heading into the far northwest of scotland later in the night. ahead of it, a fair bit of cloud, but a few breaks are likely for a while across some southern, eastern parts of england, eastern scotland, too. so these areas will be quite chilly with the risk of a frost — nowhere near as cold as it was last night, though, across wales and southern parts of england. heading into saturday, cloudy skies for many parts of the country, actually. a little bit of sunshine here and there, but more cloud coming into scotland — that weak weather front bringing a little light rain or drizzle into some western parts of the country, otherwise it'll be dry. 8—9 celsius across england and wales — not bad, but double—figure temperatures in scotland and northern ireland, where there's a stronger wind. and that window may pick up again during the second half of the weekend, so maybe a bit more sunshine across some eastern parts of scotland. elsewhere, a lot of cloud around, dry weather once again, limited amount of sunshine, and those temperatures — not bad for the time of year, around 7—8 celsius. this is
