yet another good day for india against england. the tourists‘ chances of winning the fifth test are fast receding. and an upset in the european champions cup as scarlets hold on to secure a famous victory over toulon. good evening. news of a very important victory for manchester city in the premier league. they came from behind to beat arsenal 2—1 at the etihad stadium, and are now seven points behind the leaders, chelsea. here's tim hague. as christmas gifts go, this match is certainly one you'd want on your list. manchester city against arsenal, two teams and two managers desperately chasing chelsea. with that in mind, things unsurprisingly got physical very quickly. no kissing under the mistletoe for theo walcott and kept the broiler —— kevin de bruyne. arsenal were ahead, but it shouldn't have been the case for long. raheem sterling somehow put the ball wide, and that was as good as it got for city in the first hour. in the first half. slow out of the blocks, you could say. unlike the christmas pudding, the home side fo

i think you will make it very, very good captain for england and in the next yeari captain for england and in the next year i think it will do a tremendous job. i have no doubt about that. michael vaughan speaking to me earlier. the twice wimbledon champion petra kvitova has undergone a four hour potentially career—saving operation after a knife attack in her own home. the world number 11 says she's "fortunate to be alive" after grappling with a burglar at her flat in the czech republic. surgeons operated on her left hand, her racket hand, to repair tendons and nerves. she'll be out of action for at least three months and the chances of a full recovery is unknown. celtic have gone 14 points clear at the top of the scottish premiership tonight after a 1—0 win at home to bottom club partick thistle. brendan rodgers' side secured their victory thanks to a 17th minute goal from scott sinclair at a rain—sodden parkead. the champions are now unbeaten in 21 domestic matches. league one side peterborough united will face premier league leaders chelsea in the fa cup third round after beat

a difficult to for england. questions inevitably asked about the england ca ptain‘s future questions inevitably asked about the england captain's future and alastair cook had to face the press... it's the wrong time to make those decisions, because your energy is low, you know, morale is low. and you can make some foolish decisions at the time. so while there's not a test match for seven months, it will seem very foolish to stand here now and make a decision, which either you regret or you don't. so, if there was a test match in three weeks‘ time, then you'd have to think. now there is a bit of space, why not use it? many predicted it would be difficult but some of the performances have been beyond disappointing from an england side that have all to often seen batting collapses and not bowled with the sort of potency people expected. a big break in test cricket. not playing in that format again untiljuly, meanwhile alastair cook has an awful lot of thinking to do. well, a little earlier i spoke to former eng

england's hearts are being ripped out. for england's cricketers, an eventful year. an historic series win over south africa, and then against sri lanka, captain, alastair cook, became the youngest batsman ever to 10,000 test runs. series against pakistan, bangladesh, and india were rather less successful, but the real heartbreak came at the world t20, all the way to the final, before falling final hurdle. victory battered from their grasp, carlos brathwaite and the west indies, uncontrollable, ben stokes and england, inconsolable. it was a double for the west indies as they claimed the women's title as well. drama only rivalled by the end of the county championship season. middlesex, winners, and one of the tightest finishes in years. so much of sport is about getting across the line first. 33/1 shot rule the world lived up to his name, winning the grand national. on—board was teenager david mullings, proving that on its 169th running, this great race is still this great race is still a fairy tale. but being the first to cross the line is not always everything. ge

patchy rain in england and wales. misty over the hills. but clear england and wales skies. scotland and northern ireland, and here, coldest night of the week, with frost in places, and for northern ireland, could be a foggy start to tuesday morning. still fog an issue for one or two of you for tuesday. probably worse in northern ireland and in the hills andier bursts in the south. through central and eastern england, brighter afternoons in store than we've been used to for a while. but, at last, the arrival of some sunshine. some sunshine for eastern parts of scotland, but in the west, we start to see some rain. a cooler day by and large, but let's focus on that rain. western scotland and northern ireland, not just rain but strong winds. the strong winds are back. gale force across many areas into tuesday evenings rush hour. severe gales, if not storm force, across the north, thanks to this weather front bringing rain across the country and increasing winds as we go through the night and into wednesday. and that links into weather systems waiting in the wings being fired up

it will weaken as it comes into the north england and england and wales and into the south—west. by the afternoon, maybe the cloud will thicken again in southern parts of england and wales to produce a really miserable end to the day. it is the shortest day, of course, and i think it will get darker awfully quickly in the afternoon given the amount of cloud we will see. temperatures are at least 10—11 degrees. something of that order. brighter skies behind. as it comes to scotland and northern ireland, cold air dominating the scene. the added strength of the wind here. wintry showers will fall to low levels. showers will keep going in northern ireland and scotland. this area will gradually move off to the near continent allowing a bright and crisp start to the day across the greater part of england and wales. another blustery one for scotland and northern ireland, wintry showers falling to a low level. it will feel very fresh indeed. eventually showers will go up through northern and western parts of both england and wales as well. generally speaking, further south, a decent da

many performance disappointing from an england side seeing batting colla pses, an england side seeing batting collapses, not bowling with a potency many people expected. they will not play in the test format untiljuly. alastair cook with a lot of thinking to do. several english players not featuring in the series in india played in the big bash in australia. eion morgan making 26, including this six for the sydney thunder. jason roy made a huge six for the opposing team, the sydney sixers. sam billings also playing for them. they beat the thunder with six balls to spare. valtteri bottas' moved to mercedes as lewis hamilton's new team—mate, after the retirement of nico rosberg, is close to completion. mercedes made a pitch for him to replace rosberg. the deal will see felipe massa come out of retirement and replacing nick williams. —— replace him at williams. jamie vardy will serve a three match ban after his claim for wrongful dismissal was rejected by the fa. vardy was shown a straight red for a two—footed tackle during leicester city's match against stoke on saturday. he won

he had scored the biggest opening score against england ever. england ever. england had to work hard for breakthroughs today. lead once again followed the pattern we have seen over the course of this test match ru ns over the course of this test match runs scoring... england were full of praise for the efforts of rahul, fell one short of his double century. he played really well. he took his time, calculated his runs quite well, then took risks when he needed to. i think it was some brilliant bowling to throw a slow, wide one. not many people on that score would leave that alone. credit to rash for doing that. so far, this batting surface as given little opportunity to the bowling side. india hope to close the lead that england have set. england will be hoping that if they can take early wickets that the pressure will be on the home side and it can be england that pick up the consolation victory. on to rugby union, and there's been an upset in the european champions cup. scarlets survived a tense finale to hang on and beat toulon by 22 points to 21. leigh hal

southern england and wales, northern ireland, northern england, we will see some sunshine. into the afternoon through the northwest, more cloud around and spots of rain or some showers. nothing substantial. coming across most of england, watch out for that fog as it lived into low cloud, it will be fairly grey. across southern countries especially close to the coast we will see some sunshine. pleasa nt coast we will see some sunshine. pleasant for the time of year in south england. in wales too and in the west we will see some sunshine. there will be some cloud floating around the rest of wales. northern ireland you've got that mixture of bright and sunny spells. the frost will return and we will see some fog forming. some of it will be freezing fog. patchy fog across northern ireland. look at those temperatures, it's going to be a cold night tomorrow. tomorrow very similar to today, any fog that forms will be slow to lift. some of its sticking and impacting on the temperature. we will see some sunshine particularly heading down towards the south—west, parts of wales and

at the close, england we re by england. at the close, england were 270 runs behind. quick wickets would be required if england got anything out of the match, but with the first test century from karim, the game got away, and he wasjoined by ashwin century from karim, the game got away, and he was joined by ashwin at the crease who wasted little time making his presence felt. as he made 50 it seemed the best tourist could hope for was a draw, whereas india fancied a 4—0 series victory. karim made hay, england struggle to contain him, soon he passed 150. it has been the mark of this tour that whenever england assumed they put on a substantial total, india skip deonte, and in the back of his mind, karun would have remembered how his teammate raheem fell at 199, but he displayed no reticent, converting a maiden hundred into a double century for the third time in india. karun strolled past 250 and broke 300 with one of the great batting performances. india had registered their highest ever test score. in reply england survived the five overs but look like they had had e

soon after, he provided a little relief for a grateful england into the hands of jos for a grateful england into the hands ofjos buttler. pujara didn't hang around, going cheaply to alastair cook. bradl swatted his way to his fourth test 100. —— rahul. it was pedestrian stuff from cook's men. in sum, the attention started to wonder. the last time kohli picked up a bat, he stayed for days, making 235. not this time. not many wickets were falling. england's frustration became plain to see. rahul rattled ? frustration became plain to see. rahul rattled? it would seem not. he looked certain to make a double century before playing a dreadful shock. he had recorded the biggest score by an indian opener against england in the process, but his exit may just have let england in the process, but his exit mayjust have let the other side back in. chelsea are nine points clear at the top of the premier league, and today manchester city and arsenal face each other hoping to close that gap. so lots to play for in the top half of the table today. starting with 10th placed bournemouth hosting southampto
