Our Sports Correspondent andy swiss is with me. Evening andy, well get to the match in a moment but there was a terrific show of solidarity before kick off in the wake of the recent terror attacks. Yes, it was a very poignant occasion. It was a friendly in the friendliest sense, a show of Sporting Solidarity between france and england. You can see the two leaders their side by side before the match. As a band played dont look back in anger, the Famous Oasis Song which has become an anthem. Both teams sang along lustily to that. Once that had finished we had a minutes silence as the entire stadium showed its respects to the victims of the recent terror attacks, just as we saw at wembley 18 months ago in the wake of the paris attacks. It was a similar scene and a show of courting support between the two nations. Yes this was a friendly, they played much better than they did over the weekend, i thought anyway. The french still came out on top with a win. A slightly frustrating night in many ways for england. At the start they began brightly. They took the lead after just they began brightly.

France equalised shortly afterwards, a great save but france went level. They went ahead just before the break. Another good save from heaton but france ahead at the break. Then controversy. Was this a penalty, dele alli brought down. It went to a Video Assistant to decided it wasnt just a penalty but also a red card to france. Harry kane equalised from the spot. We then saw a mexican wave between the two leaders but theresa may wont be smiling at the end because france came away with the victory. Dembele with the winner just 13 came away with the victory. Dembele with the winnerjust 13 minutes from the end. Some good points for england but ultimately a frustrating night for them.

He said scoring twice in france should be enough, weve got to find a way to win, we werent good enough, we want to be brave and play from the back. Its disappointing. We were in the drivers seat but we didnt step it up drivers seat but we didnt step it up another gear, not good enough. Certainly some defensive errors which will haunt england. Plenty to look at ahead of those qualifying matches in september. Thank you.

Scotland play one more friendly before the euros begin, against the Republic Of Ireland next month. The British And Irish Lions record in new zealand now reads played four, lost two.

James burford reports. For the lions, another chance to leave everything on the pitch. But they do so with the news that stuart hogg has been ruled out of the rest of the poor through injury. In the highlanders, they saw a side with tricks, power and all blacks. After Trading Penalties he eyed another 93p Trading Penalties he eyed another gap. This time firmly in his hands. The lions on the back foot. To add insult to injury, and injury for courtney lawes. Jonathan joseph scored before the seymourjumped at the chance to take the lions share of the scoreline. With tries coming ata of the scoreline. With tries coming at a premium suddenly the opportunities were starting to come. Sam warburton first. Liam coltman then for the highlanders. So it came down to two kicks. Marty bank took the lead, before elliot daly had the chance to win it with this, just short of victory. If you had to look back i wouldnt blame it on one instance but i would say there was a string of too many penalties that we gave away. Youve got to give credit to the highlanders, they force them out of us. Highlanders, they force them out of us. They were probably avoidable. That was probably what her toss the most.

England come back to cardiff unbeaten in the tournament but theres always room for improvement. During their main practice session we saw Jason Roy Fielding on the boundary. Not quite this time. While amongst the players, walloping balls towards him, Jonny Bairstow. England went named their team the day before the match but ifJonny Bairstow comes in forjason roy, eoin morgan would back him. We are in a very fortu nate would back him. We are in a very fortunate position that jonny ba i rstow is fortunate position that Jonny Bairstow is our next man in line. Hes a very fine batsman and one thing he does exceptionally well is actually deals with no baggage. He comes in and wants to prove everybody wrong. Hes been a huge attribute in him scoring runs when hes had a chance to score runs. Certainly in white ball cricket. When hes got back into the test tea m when hes got back into the test team hes been exceptional. Opening the batting at International Level is an entirely different ball game.

They were shambolic against india in his own words but theyve improved to get to the semifinal. We know that realistically england are playing unbelievably well.
