Jacks talked about being a late bloomer in the sport. Is there a feeling that whatever happens this evening, this isjust the beginning for him . I think that is exactly it. A lot of people have been looking for who might feel the void left after Andy Murray retired this summer. A lot of people have long thought very highly of Jack People have long thought very highly ofJack Draper but he people have long thought very highly of Jack Draper but he has people have long thought very highly ofJack Draper but he has had people have long thought very highly of Jack Draper but he has had these really frustrating injuries over the last few years that has really disrupted his progress. When i was speaking to James Trotman just now he said they are still not 100 sure of where they thinkjack can get to. They think hes only at 70 , which is incredibly exciting, if he has already get to the semifinals of a grand slam, what more can he go on to achieve . Theyre not discounting his chances as after all, he has not dropped a set so far this tournament so anything is possible and he is trying to emulate what his idol Andy Murray did back in 2012, he was the last british man to reach the final four here and he went on to win the title that year. Lets see what Jack Draper can do later on today. That semifinal gets under way in just about 1. 5 hours time. Semifinal gets under way in ust about 1. 5 hours time. � about 1. 5 hours time.

As a player, he was a somewhat controversial and now, presence in the dugout. Bellamy is prepared for the emotions of his first game in front of the fans. Guys, you dont pay me to be emotional, you pay me to make the best decisions possible on the side and that is the business i have to be in a straightaway. So, of course im proud and i am fully aware the moment that it will obviously catch me but it has to leave very quick. Allan ramsay retains the captaincy under bellamy but he has not played for wales for almost 12 months after not featuring in the Euro Play offs which ultimately ended in failure. Rumours of retirement surfaced but ramsay says stepping away after missing out on Tournament Football was no way to leave the international stage.

Backed by thousands of fans, turkey surprised many as euro 2024 in the summer. Going all the way to the quarterfinals when they were knocked out by the netherlands. As for wales, getting to the World Cup in two years is the ultimate. Under a new manager, there is no optimism that they can achieve it. Lee carsley takes charge of england for the first time Tomorrow Evening as they take on the Republic Of Ireland. The Interim Manager is looking to stake his claim to take over from Gareth Southgate on a permanent basis after impressing in charge of the under 21s side. Nesta macgregor is in dublin for us, and, nesta, are you expecting some of those younger players that he knows so well to start Tomorrow Evening . Yes, before we get to that, you can robbie see behind me a few minutes ago there was quite the commotion because the england coaches arrived and the players came out to sign some autographs and have since gone inside as well as Lee Kazi, and i can say in 45 minutes time. He is going to the media for the last time before Tomorrow Nights game. He will know. In the starting 11 but he will be keeping a very close to his chest. Should we be surprised if some of those younger players are in the squad . Propping up. The likes of newcastles tino, there is no luke shaw, Kevin Trippier is retired and Kyle Walker is out as well. The Newcastle Fullback might very well get a chance. Angel gomez, morgan gives white, when you think again, phil foden, 0llie watkins, withdrawn from the squad, Jude Bellingham injured, these players have a real chance of seeing some Minutes Tomorrow Night at the stadium. Yes, this is Lee Kazis audition, if you want thejob Full Time, this is Lee Kazis audition, if you want the job Full Time, he will also trust these young players, he knows them very well from the under 21 team and the likes of harry maguire, harry kane, experienced players that can guide the younger less experienced players through. Ironic for him that his first game in charge is over in ireland, who he represented so many times. Born in birmingham but 40 caps for the Republic Of Ireland between 1997 and 2008. Isnt that one of the great subplots to this story . Not only did Lee Kazi play for the Republic Of Ireland but also this year he also turned down the opportunity to banish them in favour of staying with the under 21 is. The reception he gets Tomorrow Night should be interesting. So too could for the likes of declan Rice And Jack grealish, remember there are england regulars now but they did not play for the Republic Of Ireland at Youth Level and above. Ive spoken to some irish Fans Today who say that the biggest mistake that england can make is thinking that Tomorrow Night is going to be a formality and and they will be goals galore. If the Subplot Wasnt enough. He was the man that masterminded irelands 2 1win over england in 2016. We masterminded irelands 21 win over england in 20163 masterminded irelands 21 win over england in 2016. We shall see. Thank ou ve england in 2016. We shall see. Thank you very much england in 2016. We shall see. Thank you very much indeed england in 2016. We shall see. Thank you very much indeed and england in 2016. We shall see. Thank you very much indeed and sorry england in 2016. We shall see. Thank you very much indeed and sorry for. You very much indeed and sorry for the slight Break Up on the line. The former England Goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes these Nations League games are the perfect stage for Lee Carsley to show hes the man to take over Full Time from Gareth Southgate. When you pull on an international search for your country, you feel the honour and the level of performance expected is a given regardless of the manager and the manager is on trial as well, if you like, if you look at Gareth Southgate, he was in temporary charge and prove that he could do it over a period of time. You look at the game that Lee Carsley has got in front of him. If you look at his cv, if you look at what he has done to get where he has got to now especially within the fa set up, he too is on trial and hes got a real opportunity now to take the job in the same way that Gareth Southgate did eight years ago. The long term is the qualification for the World Cup and a World Cup side. To with Deletions League now they are looking to progress in the best possible way for some there is no better platform for Lee Carsley. It is not going to be easy against the Republic Of Ireland and is not going to be easy for Lee Carsley but he has a perfect opportunity now with a fresh Ish Squad and a look at the players that have pulled out of the squad and you look at the players that have pulled out from injury he has been forced into a couple of changes and he is going to be forced into playing certain players that he might not necessarily felt that he had to play. I think is a regal opportunity for him. I think it is a really good opportunity for him. And you can hear more from that interview with Paul Robinson and the thoughts of former wales forward Robet Earnshaw in the latest football news show. Thats available on iplayer later today. Lets have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. Wigans Second Row forward Junior Nsemba has been named in a 31 man england Training Squad for the two Match Autumn Test series against samoa. Its the 20 year olds first call up after an impressive season. His wigan Team Mate Liam Marshall is the other uncapped player in the squad. Primoz roglic has taken the lead of the Vuelta A Espana in dramatic fashion. The three time winner dominated the 19th Stage to take the victory and the leaders Red Jersey from ben 0connor. The slovenian now leads the australian by almost two minutes with just two stages to go. Frenchman Paul Magnier was first across the Finish Line in Newark On Trent to claim his second victory at the tour of britain, having also won tuesdays opening stage. Welshman Stevie Williams retained his overall lead of 16 seconds despite finishing 26th. Britains Elvin Evans had a problematic start to the Acropolis Rally in greece. 0n just the first stage this morning, he had a puncture followed by other problems with his toyota yaris. Its left him down in 20th place, more than nine minutes behind overall leader 0it tanak. 0llie Pope has won his two matches as England Captain this summer, but has failed to contribute with the bat until today. Sri lanka won the toss and chose to field in the final test of the three Match Series which they trail 2 0. Matt graveling has been following the action at the oval. England were looking to conclude the brightest of periods under the gloomiest of skies. It has been two decades since they won every test played over a summer, but they ledSri Lanka 2 nil at the 0val, in fact, the last time was in 2004 and this man had just been born, bowler, josh hall, Given His england debut. But it was Sri Lanka bowling first. Invisibility that seem to hinder Dan Lawrence in bat. And the wicketkeeper. But, as the openers continued to swing through the gloom, the run started to come. Ben Duckett Hitting back to back boundaries. But as Duckett Hit his flow, lawrence hit this. Up in the air, this should be gone. Lawrence out for just five. Coming on, captain 0llie Pope, a player supposedly under pressure. What pressure . Infading light in fading light the match was then delayed, England 76 1. Three hours later, duckett was back out and back at it. 11 balls later and the same shot and a different outcome. Duckett gone for 86. Through pope, england were building, another partnership came and went at this Timejoe Root gone for 13. But the captain stood firm and to his doubters soon delivered a seventh test century. Sri lanka struggling to capitalise on conditions and england are lighting up an overcast oval. And this is where they are at The End of the first day. England 221 3 after bad light has again stopped play. A healthy position as they look to complete a series whitewash. There was a dramatic finish to the Opening Game of the Nfl Season as the defending champion Kansas City chiefs were pushed all the way by the Baltimore Ravens. The ravens thought they had an opportunity to win the game when Quarterback Lamarjackson found isaiah likely in the End Zone for a last second touchdown, but the replay showed that likely had stepped Out Of Bounds by the length of a toe, thus handing the chiefs a 27 20 victory to start the season. Thank you to the fans. They were great today as they always are. But what a wild environment down there. It was two heavyweights in a fight right down to The End. When they say its a game of inches, it might be shorter than that. Later tonight, a Bit History will be made in the nfl when they play their first regular Season Game in brazil, as the Philadelphia Eagles face the Green Bay Packers in sao paulo. A little earlier, we spoke to brooks kubena, whos there covering the game for the athletic, and he told us theres huge excitement in the city ahead of the match. I in the city ahead of the match. Was at restaurants 1 of i was at restaurants the last couple of nights and the brazilian steakhouse last night there was a two Hour Wait with lots of people that have made the trip from other countries, especially the states but local people i came here. Coming to brazil, and i was. I saw people spending the night outside to wait for tickets that sold out within a day. If it had all been available online it would have been sold out in hours. Its a novelty, its the first time the nfl has been in south america, notjust brazil so everybody is very excited about seeing what was an enigma to this country up close. Seeing that manifest, was there at the Stadium Yesterday meeting a lot of people that were crucial in bringing the game here and they are just very emotional about this. I talk to the president of tourism here in sao paulo, he had a lot to do with bringing the team here, he is emotional, and so a lot of people. Todays the day they have been waiting for several years. Just lookinu waiting for several years. Just looking further waiting for several years. Just looking further afield, the Kansas City chiefs won last night, theyre going for a third consecutive super bowl, can anyone stop them . Is a bowl, can anyone stop them . Is a tou~h. Bowl, can anyone stop them . Is a tough. There bowl, can anyone stop them . Is a tough. There are bowl, can anyone stop them . Is. Tough. There are a lot of teams. 0bviously, that was the afc Title Game a couple of years ago that was in overtime. That is a contender. The Houston Texans are up and coming with a team that was rebuilding two years ago and now they have a quarterback, revitalised defence, a new coach who is in his second year who they have a lot of belief in. There are a lot of teams that have questions but could have high potentials like the miami dolphins, thatis potentials like the miami dolphins, that is a tough conference that you really dont know what might happen in the Play Offs. The Baltimore Ravens are always containing, the chiefs are the Top Dog in the nfl, they should be favoured always but in the nfl, the Play Offs for them, there are a couple of teams that in there are a couple of teams that in the right scenario, its going to be tough to say that its a guarantee that the chiefs will be back. Lets that the chiefs will be back. Lets return to our that the chiefs will be back. Lets return to our top that the chiefs will be back. Lets return to our top story that the chiefs will be back. Lets return to our top story and that the chiefs will be back. Lets return to our top story and the amazing achievements of Sarah Storey who won her 19th Paralympic Gold Medal earlier. Lets put into context, its 32 years since her first games, it all started in barcelona where as a swimmer, she won two golds, two bronzes, aged just 14. She has since competed in eight different games and are still going strong at the age of 46 whilst also being a mum of two. Back in 1992, the Sporting Landscape is very different. Most of the current England Football Team had not been born, Goalkeeper Nick Pope who was the only one who had. Alan shearer became britains most expensive footballer in a £3. 6 million transfer from southampton to. Footballer in a £3. 6 million Transferfrom Southampton to. The current record. Back then, No One had even heard of this guy, Tiger Woods was just had even heard of this guy, Tiger Woods wasjust 16 years had even heard of this guy, Tiger Woods was just 16 years old, he only turned pro in 1996. A certain michaeljordan was a household name, though, hejust led The Michaeljordan was a household name, though, he just led the Chicago Bulls to their Second Nba title. Finally, time to show you a dodgy hairstyle, this is Andre Agassi winning wimbledon, Steffi Graf won the ladies had between them they went on to win 30 grand Slam Singles Title and are now happily married. And he also has a rather better hairstyle than he used to have. What a career Sarah Storey has had and counting. Lets take a look at how the Medal Table is looking for Paralympics Gb in paris. Great britain are currently second in the Medal Table with 41 golds 42nd Gold Medal. Equalling the tally won by the team in tokyo three years ago.
