Imjohn watson. 0ur headlines. 1 2 3 for kjt with two events down, just one more stands between her and World Championship gold. And has all been sinking and for Dina Asher Smith as she receives her gold. I went to sleep at 6am after lying in bed and being like wow, i did that really happen . Irelands fate is back in tehir hands after a bonus point win at the world cup. Also coming up in the programme. From london spirit to the transient rocket we will tell you which cricketers have been snapped up and todays draft for a new look 100. Katarina Johnson Thompson could win great britains second gold medal of the World Championships tonight. She was leading the olympic champion nafi thiam heading into the final three events today. Extending her lead after one of her preferred events, one of her best events. The javelin is under way with just the 800 metres standing between her and a first global gold medal. It has been a long road at times for the british athletes. Did not want to be here, it has been a horrible day, ijust to be here, it has been a horrible day, i just want to get through this. Four years ago in beijing, a 22 year old Caterina Thompson johnsons hopes of the metal were crushed and last night in delhi, older, focus and in top form, she put on the performance her life. An excellent run personal best and be 100 metre hurdles got dropped to a brilliant stop coming start and her hijohn aced the brilliant stop coming start and her hi john aced the event in which she is the british record holder and then in the last third of the competition, she produced this. Another personal best in the back and even she could not believe it. You do not often see that sort of reaction from her. I was happy i was able to respond and just think deeper than myself and 70 cm. I was so deeper than myself and 70 cm. I was so happy to do that. Season best run in the 200 metre heat, so at the halfway stage, she stomach things are looking very good for her and she has the worlds best and for to do. This is the best position i had seen her and with the hentoff on and i think that she dont we set it so many times, this is her chance but i see this truly as her opportunity to become world champion. Ade adedoyin is there. Ade, we were speaking last night, you predicted Dina Asher Smith to win in the 200 metres. She did so so what you need to do is call it again, she was an a great position at the moment. She has been in great form this season and had a personal best earlier this year and she started this day as well and really good farm, and not too far off for a lifetime best in the long jump off for a lifetime best in the long jump and the defending champion was well below par in that event and we just had the javelin as well and it was sensational in that as well and she has just was sensational in that as well and she hasjust done her lifetime best, over a metre longer than her previous best coming into this competition. And on herfirst there, she is under real pressure and if she is under real pressure and if she can stand anywhere near there and this javelin competition, she will go into the final event as a favourite because she is an impressive roman or. The european champion and world champion, under real pressure. I will not predict it but i will say that kj t has a good chance of winning gold this evening. It is shaping up well for her and what a story once again. There is possible for their chance of british success possible for their chance of british success in the shot put as well . Yes, that goes later on this evening and she has been in good form, she w011 and she has been in good form, she won the European Team championships earlier this season but it will be ha rd earlier this season but it will be hard for her to get into that metal positions. Competing as well this evening will be lower in the air, she does in the semifinal at that event, and she stands a pretty good chance because 59 metres has been wide open this year and no one has dominated the event, one champion took away to have a child and picked up took away to have a child and picked up an injury when they came back. And to win her first global Senior Outdoor metal, and kevin miner is the world record holder in defending champion was leading after seven events and had to pull out because ofan injury events and had to pull out because of an injury and he tried to go to the pool vote and stop and tried again and had to give up the competition is a real disappointment for him and it means that mark warnerfor canada for him and it means that mark warner for canada who was a silver medallist takes the lead and he has a real opportunity to win his first global title. From a real opportunity to win his first globaltitle. From the highs a real opportunity to win his first global title. From the highs we a real opportunity to win his first globaltitle. From the highs we have seen and the lows, many thanks indeed for that. 0ne athlete has accounted for the entireity of gbs medal tally so far. That is Dina Asher Smith, with that 200 gold last night, and her 100 metre silver. It means gb sit seventh on the medal table. And dina has been speaking to natalie pirks. I slept honestly about three hours, it would not call it sleep, a cat nap and went to sleep at 6am after laying in bed and being like wow, did that really happen . It feels release the rear feels really surreal. 0n cloud nine, and i saw a picture, and i wasjust like wow because that is such an illustrious list and it feels strange that my name will be there as well. And a man who knows her well is the former 0lympic 4x100 metre champion Darren Campbell who first met dina when was still at school. Hes predicting olympic gold will soon follow world gold. Me and heryou me and her you could be feel meeting her you could feel that she has the spirit and energy about her that was wonderful to be around and we took a photo and she was holding a metal and while she was holding the metal i said look, do you want to wear it . And she jumped and straightaway and said no, the first olympic medal she wears will be her own. That always stuck with me. Olympic medal she wears will be her own. That always stuck with mem is looking very likely she will get one of her own. It is hard to forget that she has one and the relay and she wants to add to it with individual metals and i have a feeling of gold, i feel this isjust the start, this isjust the start not the finished. We have spoken about how she was the best female sprinter we ever had. Best sprinter we ever had.

With head coachjoe schmidt making 11 changes to the side that lost that match, as Katie Gornall reports. Ireland plus my journey ireland plus myjourney here has been anything but smooth, they arrived in the port city of kobe, still smarting from the shock defeat to the tournaments hosts. 11 changes were made to the side that lost to japan, france faces and fresh start. They made an Immediate Impactand fresh start. They made an Immediate Impact and barely it was on the clock when they cut to rush a prospect offence to score. How they needed that. This is the first on the fly half, atjohnny sexton n ireland and it was essential. Island plus my fans when the mood more, and they obliged with a little help. Eventually conway clipped them into gear, sprinting fee for the fourth try to earn a vital bonus point. Russia lost to jc in try to earn a vital bonus point. Russia lost tojc in the building to the world cup but they made life difficult here for ireland, before Garry Ringrose rounded things off. Ireland are back on track but leave a lot to be desired. The number one priority for ireland was to leave at the bonus point and they have done that and now they have the luxury of nine days to prepare for their final group k dominic game against samoa.

I walked out the house one day to just go and and my life because i felt as if i was doing everybody a favour. A very emotional interview to come a little later. The first phase of the draft for crickets new look 100 tournament took place today. Eight franchises were bidding for the services of englands test players as an american approach came to british sport. Our Sports Editor was at todays launch. Dan roans report contains some flash photography. It is cricket but not as we know it, rather than the tradition of laureates, and east and brewery for the launch of the newest format, and this morning some of the biggest names present as they found out who they would be playing for in the hundred, a competition they hope will bring a new life into the game. Get kids interested in cricket and playing it and we only saw the benefits of that at the World Cup Final and benefits of that at the World Cup Finalandi benefits of that at the World Cup Final and i think it is great for the game and i think the more people we can get interested in it, the better for us. 100 balls, best players in the world, ate brandy teams and seven cities, traditional rivalries redefined. I am pretty amazed of the situation we have here at the launch and it feels like something that the Younger Generation can really buy into. They hope to build on the world cup triumph and arrest the decline in numbers watching the sport but many ask if there is a need or room for another term and then another tournament. No one has explained why the new market is going to come from. Many of us suspect a new market is not there. If that market does not exist, 200 million is being spent by the ecb to cannibalize its existing three products which makes no sense whatsoever. Whether the hundreds and innovation are too far ora hundreds and innovation are too far or a brave new don, what is going to be the biggest gamble that cricket has ever taken be the biggest gamble that cricket has ever ta ken has be the biggest gamble that cricket has ever taken has moved a step closer and a lot is at stake. We will be talking in more detail about how it works but firstly we have jail in the studio. Lets talk about the big names and players, where are they going . We have for sport, familiarfaces where are they going . We have for sport, familiar faces but where are they going . We have for sport, familiarfaces but Everything Else about it is unfamiliar very because english cricket is and tell recent yea rs centred because english cricket is and tell recent years centred on the county system but in the hundred it is all about city based franchises, seven cities have teams competing the two sides operating in london. We have the first of the team names here as well, lending spirit and the oval and then symbols and the side north of the river at lawrence had snapped up of the river at lawrence had snapped up englands world cup winning captain, 0wen morgan is one of the pics in the draft today and the invincible tab jason pics in the draft today and the invincible tabjason roy pics in the draft today and the invincible tab jason roy who pics in the draft today and the invincible tabjason roy who is such a powerful player as well and be one day game but there are interesting decisions around the country as well to be made in this initial draft today which involve home players only, the northern superchargers are going to be based in leeds and the cover of the counties of durham yorkshire said they only got one first pick of the england players from those counties and they opted for ben stokes, the durham man. Will go back to where he made ashes history the summer. Other yorkshire players are available for other teams to snap up including the england test captain, joe root who was left in the draft, he got to nottingham instead and played for the site known as the trench rockets, this is perhaps what is at headingley wanted to do, in terms of the hundred this year, he places cricket in nottingham and jonny ba i rstow cricket in nottingham and Jonny Bairstow as well. And cardiff, with the welsh fire, you can see some of the welsh fire, you can see some of the names, the test na m es. Southhampton and jos buttler will pay for his local city and just over two weeks time we get the other d raft two weeks time we get the other draft as well for overseas players where they are dished out to some of these areas. Steve smith and grayscale, could be snapped up by one of these teams. That is by the 20th of october and they will be live across the bc sports as well. We talked about some of the money on offer for the players and we talked about some of the money on offerfor the players and it we talked about some of the money on offer for the players and it will be interesting to see where the second pa rt interesting to see where the second part of the draft takes place. Let people know how it differs because people know how it differs because people are talking about the shorter format and charlie is this going to compete with t20 cricket in many ways . Compete with t20 cricket in many ways . It is different. Well the headline we knew about this competition was the very obvious one the hundred, for the 100 balls that are bowled for each side. Typically the innings have been lasting just over an hour in practise bowlers get up to 20 balls each, and can change ends every five or ten balls. The eight teams will play each other before the top three go to a finals day in august next year where the first hundred champions crowned. And ten of the 32 pool stage matches will be live on bbc tv. We know as far as we have men and womens teams in this, and with regards the money on offer, we know the top men are earning about £125,000 and as far as women are concerned, it is £115,000 and that seems like a massive gap between men and womens teams. Yeah the womens100 is replacing the Kia Super League you might remember that had six teams, the hundred has 8, so more women with a chance to play on the big stage, and up to 8 of those matches will also be live on the bbc. These are the figures that you were talking about. Now the womens game is of course a long way behind the mens game in its professional development only centrally contracted england womens players are professional, but still many expected the gap not to be quite so big. Earlier i spoke to the telegraphs Isabelle Westbury and i asked her if the figures matter . Yes, anywhere it i think that is very simple, you just compare straight up, the men and womens numbers, that is a huge gap and they had said that it can be revamped and much more money and that aspect of the game but it is supposed to be a big flagship part of that where players have opportunities to make better money and it is not really that much more than what they would be doing in the key super league so for someone who is currently in a full time job to forgo that to have a career full time job to forgo that to have a careerand another
