How the ashes might have been different if this has happened how the ashes might have been different if this had happened a little more often. Yes, england take the wicket of steve smith and for less than a hundred. A true rareity on day two at the oval. And how friday the 13th will definitely be unlucky for one super league team. As the relegation shake up is settled, could london broncos pull off an unlikely escape act . Also coming up in the programme the olympic champion hoping to have cleaner seas in which to compete as she makes a big plastic pledge. Hello and welcome to sportsday. Europe have never lost the solheim cup on scottish soil and day one of this year s tournament suggests a determination not to change that anytime soon. The usa started this morning s opening foursomes hoping to retain trophy for a third time. As is the nature of team golf events, an incredible atmosphere descended upon gleneagles to welcome the opening tee of the solheim cup which europe hasnt taken for six yea rs. Which europe hasnt taken for six years. The usa took the first point with the first siblings to play together in the cup. Jessica and nellie korda thrashed caroline and jodie, six and four with their sister act. Bronte law with a chance to save a match for europe. She managed to salvage a half with the usas managed to salvage a half with the usas morgan pretzel and marina alex. But the morning to bed celebrating the slender european lead going into the slender european lead going into the afternoon s four balls. A pretty good morning for the team flying the flag for europe. Lets go live to the course now and to join sarah. We will come to the later stages of play but who stood out for you in those morning foursomes . think it was a really positive opening session for the europeans. So important to get off to a good start for Katrina Matthews and her side and you had to put credit to three of the english players. We had bronte law who was out first taking that first tee shot. Nerve racking but herself and karl otto sikander battled ha rd to but herself and karl otto sikander battled hard to have their match and then you have georgia hall who won then you have georgia hall who won the british womens open last year. She had a very comfortable win and charley hull brought it home in a strong finish along with. Those players are very experienced. Charley hull is just 23 but this is her fourth solheim cup and they were able to gain a point against the american rookie combination. That setup europe quite nicely with a lead of 2. 5 points to 1. 5 points after the morning session. It is difficult sometimes when you are the home side and you have the adrenaline flowing through you after that morning session to maintain it into the afternoon, but team europe had done that. Yes, the sun is starting to set here and it is definitely looking like it is going to bea definitely looking like it is going to be a very good full day for the europeans. Just to point out that there was one early point on the board in the afternoon for the americans, it was a record equalling when four angel americans, it was a record equalling when fourangelgin, americans, it was a record equalling when four angel gin, however we do think the three other matches will go the way of the europeans. We know one is in already and that included the rookie and van damme. A lot of people were excited about watching her swing. Great to be able to watch it here in real life and she was able to pick, guide her match through to an important early winter. There are two matches right 110w winter. There are two matches right now out on the course been finished up now out on the course been finished up andi now out on the course been finished up and i had to tell you about bronte law, she is really a player for the team occasions, the big moments like this. She had that hole in the morning and listen to this, they are up against the world number three, Lexi Thompson along with jessica corden. The americans with two up with four to play however powerful play from the europeans has put the europeans now with one up, they are about to come down the 18th here to try and claim what would be a very important point for the europeans. In the other match still ongoing, it is charley hull town. She is up in their game. If things and as they are at the moment, scoring wise, it will be 5. 5 points to 2. 5 points for europe against the usa. If you bear in mind that would equal the record of the biggest gap after the first day, so we could be pretty significant if things end as is four year appear pretty significant if things end as is fouryearappear in pretty significant if things end as is four year appear in gleneagles. Should we tempt fate and say there isa should we tempt fate and say there is a three point gap, lets do that. What would that mean in terms of the balance of power going into the weekend because clearly it is very difficult to sustain this over three days. What chance is, do you think . Ido days. What chance is, do you think . I do have to say that traditionally the european teams are always very strong at the match play, so they a lwa ys strong at the match play, so they always do really well on friday and saturday when you have the foursomes and the four ball formats. The americans come back into it on the singles on sunday, so really for the europeans they will need to try and eke out a bigger win at the americans, the two time defending champions. I dont think it will be over too soon. 48 hours to go, fascinating golf at gleneagles. A rare thing happened at the oval today. England got steve smith out for less than a hundred. The australian batsman has been the single biggest reason why they retained the ashes this summer. But hes one of those wickets to fall on day two of the final test. Joe wilson is at the oval for us. Joe, its a measure of smiths dominance that england will be happy to remove him forjust 80. In the context of him averaging 134 in this series, in the context of him averaging 177, this is one of his favourite grounds. Such a busy day here when we think back to the start of the day which began with englands first innings. And im sure the crowd that came in were hoping for an hour ofjos buttler, in the end we got 24 minutes. He was out for 70 which meant england were all out for 294. Then england came to bowl and david warner was the first man out after so many ducks, i suppose in the context, it is getting to five, not too bad. England heard it and it was proved by review and that was the first of the wickets of the day forjofra archer who was back to his best here today. But what about that man, steve smith . Again infuriating for england. Chose his moments to attack as he did with that big six. And that took him to 50. How would england get rid of him . It was an ongoing issue through the afternoon but they had sam karen getting rid of the other players. Two in two balls. And played a big role. So smith was may be running out of partners and the man who came to get rid of him was chris woakes. When you look at this delivery to get rid of smith, this is the kind of dismissal england had imagined getting right through the series. This time he missed it so that was smith out for 80. You almost felt like thejob was smith out for 80. You almost felt like the job was done but it wasnt because that was just eight wickets down for 187. The man who came into clean up was jofra archer, down for 187. The man who came into clean up wasjofra archer, his fifth and sixth wickets the final of the day. Final wicket to four. Owed so much to rory burns. He did had to come out and bat again as englands opener and survived a tricky session before the close of play. They will resume in the morning. Nine without loss in the second innings so that gives them a lead of 78 which standing here right now feel significant. Thank you very much. Sir Dave Brailsford has revealed hes had surgery for prostate cancer. The team ineos principal, whos 55, was diagnosed with the disease injuly and will find out tomorrow if the surgery he had last month has been successful. Brailsford oversaw team gbs domination of track cycling at the 2008 and 2012 olympics and has led a team that has produced seven Tour De France winners in the last eight years. Lets bring you up to date with some of the other stories weve been covering today at the bbc sport centre. Staying with cycling, slovenias Primoz Roglich recovered from a crash on stage 19 of the vuelta a espana to finish tenth and retain his overall lead with just one decisive stage to go. French rider remi cavagna claimed the biggest win of his career as he took the stage victory. The race finishes in madrid on sunday. He now leads by 12 seconds in the general classification going into saturdays final stage. World champion Bianca Walkden took silver after a golden point loss to arch rival shuyin zheng in the 67kg world taekwondo grand prix final in japan. It was the first meeting between the pair since walkdens controversial victory against the chinese olympic champion in the world final in may. Itll be a friday 13th fright night for one Super League Club tonight, as the regular season comes to an end with one of four teams facing relegation. Its sure to be a tense night and joe lynskey is here to look ahead. Four teams, with the same record, the same points, all playing at the same time this evening. And by 10 oclock one of them will be relegated from super league. One of wakefield trinity, huddersfield giants, hull kr or london broncos will go down to the second tier of rugby league after this last round of fixtures, and the cost of that is around about a million pounds, an enormous amount of money in rugby league terms. Lets take you through the table and the permutations for this evening, as you can see all that separates at the moment is their points difference. London broncos go into it bottom of the table, while wakefield are in the strongest position. And neither hull kr nor huddersfield can take any chances, because the sides either side of them london and wakefield play each other in West Yorkshire tonight. An absolutely huge winner takes all match. If london are beaten, then they will definitely be relegated, but if the broncos win, then that puts all the pressure on the other sides. Hull kr perhaps have the most difficult fixture, against a salford side who could finish the season in third place. Lets get the thoughts then from some of these camps, theyre the side few wouldve expected in this they finished fifth last season, and have one of the best wing players in the league injermaine mcgillvary. He says, frankly, theyvejust had an awful season. We are where we are for a reason. We have been disastrous, inconsistent. It has not been good. We have let the fans down but i feel like this game, if we could get the win, make amends for a lot of things that have gone on this season, but regardless, it is still not good enough. We know that. Probably the worst season of my professional career. There is no use saving anything for the week afterwards, there is no coming to train and putting things right next week, its give it your all and give it your best and thats all i can ask of anybody and ask of anybody that plays on my team or works for the club. Give it your all, give it your best and hopefully that will be good enough. So hull kr and huddersfield both know they need to win if london broncos get a result against wakefield. This side were promoted last season, and such is the gap in resources between the second tier and super league, no one really expected them to even be competitive at the start of the campaign. The broncos have stayed in touch though thanks to some gutsy wins in the last few weeks, including against second bottom hull kr last time out, and theyve done High Pressure games before. They won last seasons win or bust play off match to secure promotion. And theyre showing that belief on twitter this is it, for the only english side south of warrington in the league. Tonight they go to wakefield trinity, who, as weve seen cant afford to lose themselves. Tanya arnold is pitchside. It will be quite some night here. The nerves are alreadyjangling, the wakefield coach has come out saying, i have had better evenings. If he wins tonight, he will not mine. You know a night like this in rugby league . Not really. It is so exciting and it has detected away from the top of the table. For four teams to be in a position, they have their heads in the nooses is unbelievable and by the same token, that mentality, it is quite exciting. London have exceeded all expectations. Some were saying they wouldnt win a game this year and they have won ten. They have had a good season. To win ten games as a team, it has been both a shock to the league and an absolute credit to those blokes and the players themselves. There have been lots of distractions but they have galvanised themselves. They found their character and boy have they won some important games. Lets go through the games. Hull kr at sa lfo rd , through the games. Hull kr at salford, that looks tough. They had to win. They do but it will be difficult. Salfords run of form is outstanding and they need a win to cement their place in the final. Desperation brings a lot of images out. A couple of injuries and suspensions, a tough ask. Im not sure they will get over the lined there. Huddersfield at home against catalan. They should win that, particularly with how much underline for them. Again that element of do ordie for them. Again that element of do or die must win will get had spilled over. I think catalans form has not been great. They have crumbled away at the back end of the year after showing signs amid part of the season. I do think there is a win there for the huddersfield team. Wakefield and london here. Lets put it all together, who is going down . I think london, which i am sad about. What they have shown through the year, they have shown enough metal but wakefield are too good a team. Brian is part of the team on five live. The most intriguing match of the premier laegue weekend features Manchester United and leicester. One expecting to stay part of the top six, the other hoping to gatecrash the games traditional elite. Leicester are unbeaten so far this season, while Manchester United havent won since the Opening Weekend and so when you look at the top of the table, as things stand, you can see the potential for united possibly being the Team Leicester replace. Which would be interesting for harry maguire, the most expensive defender in the world, as a result of his move to manchester from leicester. But while the team have underachieved so far this season, his boss, ole gunnar solksjaer, says maguire has already shown he could be a future united skipper. He is definitely a character and a personality that can be captain of a big club. He is a leader in the dressing room. Both by performances, presence, stature and behaviour. He isa presence, stature and behaviour. He is a character that you would say youd like to follow. And so, some are technical leaders, some are leaders by voice and he has the not really. Manchester city defender Aymeric Laporte will be out for up to six months after having knee surgery. Pep guardiola has admitted itll be next year before the frenchman returns. John stones is fit again however for the champions visit to norwich tomorrow. Arsenals Alexandre Lacazette is also facing a period out, albeit not nearly as long. The striker will miss at least the rest of september with an ankle injury. You might remember one of the stories leading up to the last olympics was the state of the marina in rio. These were the scenes in the months before the games and they highlighted a global issue that has been very much in the headlines since, about plastic waste. They struck a particular chord with one of team gbs sailors, who went on to succeed in those waters. Hannah mills won a gold with saskia clark at the 2016 olympics, but with just a year to go to tokyo, has launched an initiative called big plastic pledge to eradicate single use plastic in sport after being overwhelmed by what she saw in rio. And she told me the situation in the next host country also concerns her. I think ithinkjapan i thinkjapan as a whole as a country has a lot of work to do, like all of us, but particularly plastics, single use plastics, they area plastics, single use plastics, they are a long way behind. They give out plastic bags like they are 1p pieces. You cant stop them giving them to you and everything in the supermarkets is wrapped, everything comes supermarkets is wrapped, everything comes with a straw, it is the Little Things that just they comes with a straw, it is the Little Things thatjust they havent grasped yet and havent understood may be the consequences of these actions. A lot of sporting institutions, whether they are vent based or football clubs, are attempting to do that but i would imagine, that is scratching the surface, it needs to be a global effort to reduce the plastic that you witness more than most. Absolutely. The uk now has such awareness and there are so many people doing Amazing Things and even globally, it is fantastic to see. But for me there are still places that are so behind and so, havent jumped on solving this plastic pollution crisis and so through sport and through our campaign, hopefully we can start reaching out globally so that the whole world is warily working together to solve this problem. Finally, your preparations for tokyo where if things go well, you could become the most successful british sailor at Olympic Games and bearing in mind you are doing this just being a year away, i am you are doing this just being a year away, iam hoping you are doing this just being a year away, i am hoping you are finding enough time. Our preparations have been going well. We spent most of the summer injapan, we became world champions out there, we won the silver medal at the test event so it has been really positive. Jamie murray has described the prospect of playing in the
