Avoid a really low score. Our cricket correspondent, jonathan agnew, gave us his assessment from the days play. There is no doubt, that was a really disappointing day for england. 1 0 down in this series. To win the toss and get the chance to bat first on a pitch that looks to be at its best, to lose that number of wickets, particular from to lose that number of wickets, particularfrom batsmen to lose that number of wickets, particular from batsmen who got themselves well set, its pretty much excusable. At least in the first test match there is an illness going through the camp. Nothing here apart from the incident with rory burns and the football yesterday. But to at least see ollie pope batting as he did, with some freedom, i thought that was an Excellent Partnership with James Anderson first up they got 28 together to at least give something together to at least give something to england to go into the second day with but it seems to me like they are at least 100 runs short. Faf du plessis, the captain south africa, talking up spin which may play a pa rt talking up spin which may play a part at the end of this game. England have to get there, with so few runs so far and the likelihood of them not reaching 300, that in a way is sort of irrelevant. Its down to how england bowl on the second day to keep them in this game. Graham onions is part of the bbc social team. He says england will need to rely on a bowling attack without an injured jofra archer. Theyve certainly got a lot of experience. A lot of test matches, jimmys playing 150, stuart broad has played over 100 now. Lacking a bit of experience from a spinning point of view. The only thing that they are lacking is pace. Jofra archer does bring that, obviously. They didnt bring in mark wood but they have that ability to hopefully tie it up and build pressure that way. We ignore the fact opener rory burns has been ruled out after playing football. Is there something that always happens in england sessions, do they always play football, is it something thats a lwa ys football, is it something thats always been going on . The problem that youve probably got as they are probably not very good footballers. Of course, they end up kicking peoples ankles and shins and they get bumps and bruises and u nfortu nately get bumps and bruises and unfortunately someone has got injured. The county ground, at International Cricket warming up day in and day out, its nice to change up in and day out, its nice to change up from just in and day out, its nice to change ing in and day out, its nice to change up from just jumping over in and day out, its nice to change up from justjumping over hurdles and doing things that way, just to change it. Its just and doing things that way, just to change it. Itsjust nice mentally to get away from the stresses of playing national sport. I can understand why they play. The downside is, it has to be rory burns this time, is among has got injured. Its not idealfor this time, is among has got injured. Its not ideal for england this time, is among has got injured. Its not idealfor england or rory burns. Because england have been hit with injuries such as this and illness, mentally it must be quite tough to take, because they must be feeling nothing is going their way at the moment . It has been a nightmare tour. The six weeks or four weeks they have been out there, i think everything has been thrown at quite a young group, really. Illnesses, barely getting for players and their performances on the pitch have probably not quite as good as what they from themselves. What us, i think, as fans expect from them as well. I think tomorrow will be a fighting day. If they can keep these crop of players together, they wont have a tougher series than what they have had so far. Finally, on tomorrow, what can we expect from england 7 finally, on tomorrow, what can we expect from england . |j finally, on tomorrow, what can we expect from england . I would like to say they can get towards 300, that would be a really good effort from 260 odd with one wicket. A lot of that depends on jimmy 260 odd with one wicket. A lot of that depends onjimmy anderson just sticking around and ollie pope playing his shots when he gets the opportunity. The big thing for me is using that new ball really well, once they get bowled out. If they can get south africa 100 that will be great, put their middle order, who are relatively inexperienced, under pressure and england might be well in this game. Graham onions speaking to me a little earlier. Lets look at some of the other stories making the sports news today. Marnus labu shane scored his fourth century in his last five tests as australia took control of the 3rd test against new zealand in sydney. He finished unbeaten on 130 as they closed day1 on 283 3. Rhys webb will be eligible to play for wales in this years six nations. The scrum half is leaving the french side toulon for the welsh side, ospreys. He will be available for their opening six nations game on 1st february against italy. Great britain have lost their Opening Group match against bulgaria. Cam norrie put them ahead but dan evans lost his singles match before jamie murray and joe salisbury were beaten by the narrowest of margins in the doubles. Ahead of this weekends third round fa cup matches, Prince William has once againjoined up with some of footballs famous faces to encourage people to talk openly about their mental health. All games this weekend will start one minute late as fans are shown a film about the issue narrated by the duke of cambridge. Katy austin has more. In life, as in football, we all go through and lows. Morecambe footballer Kevin Ellison knows exactly what that is like. Footballer Kevin Ellison knows exactly what that is likelj exactly what that is like. couldnt control it. I described my little bit has a dark cloud. Id be happy and bubbly and all of a sudden, i could literally. Bang, like a dark cloud came over me and id be a different person. I could feel that coming on me that i had no control over it whatsoever. We can all sometimes feel anxious. He has given his backing to a new film that also features england stars and is narrated by the duke of cambridge. It focus keeping your mind healthy. We could all start to change things. Over the next few days, 32 fa cup third matches will be played at grounds across the country, all of them will start one minute late, while the film is shown. A chance for millions of fans to pause to think about their own well being. To pause to think about their own wellbeing. Men are less likely than women to take action to do something about it. Whether that is for stress or for feeling low or difficulty sleeping. So the film asks football fans to take a minute, to learn about what they can do to improve their mental health. Every mind matters and heads up will show you the simple steps you can take to look after your mental health. That includes downloading a mind plan, which can give guidance on coping with common issues, such as feeling anxious or sleeping badly. Prince william is president of the fa and ending the Stigma Around Mental Health struggles is a goal he has championed. He discussed it with high profile footballers for a special bbc programme in october. Through this campaign, he hopes to bring those passions together again and to use football to start the largest ever conversation around mental health. Something to look out for this weekend. If you are looking for a giant killing this weekend, keep your eyes on sunday afternoon where non league side afc fylde travel to bramell lane to play sheffield united. Chris wilder says he will make 11 changes to his side against the National League side. I am pleased to say we are joined now by one of the fylde side, james craigen. Thank you forjoining us. You played at bramall lane before but in an National Student final, so i suppose this time will be a little different . So,james, so, james, you have played once before at bramall lane but that was ina before at bramall lane but that was in a National Student game, so this time it will be a little different . Yes, it will be. The third round of an fa cup a bit different to a university clash but were really looking forward to going back there. We often hear from footballers that it is just another game but is that really the case . Look, i think in this case, its going to be Something Special for my team mates of afc fylde. We have not been to the third round before and having the chance to play a premier league game, its something thats not just league game, its something thats notjust in league game, its something thats not just in every league game, its something thats notjust in every match of a normal weekend. Were really looking forward to it and hopefully it will bea forward to it and hopefully it will be a good atmosphere as well. How have you prepared for a game like this, i suppose it is hard not to get ahead of yourselves . We have had a busy league festive period. We have only been in today to start preparing for that and we have another Training Session tomorrow. Im sure the manager will be going through some tactics on how we can ove 1120 m e through some tactics on how we can overcome sheffield united. The fans, it must be so exciting with this huge build up. What has the reaction been like in the build up to this game . Yeah, when the draw was made, obviously all the fans were loving and really excited. They have had their eye on the fixture for the last month or so since the draw was made. Im sure we will take good numbers over to sheffield on sunday. We are looking forward to it and it isa we are looking forward to it and it is a great day out for them as well. Because you are not doing amazingly in the league. Is this cup run a bit ofa in the league. Is this cup run a bit of a boost . Yes, it is. Probably, to a good time, given us a breakfrom the league after a poor few games. Something to look forward to and hopefully we can put a good account of ourselves on sunday and we can ta ke of ourselves on sunday and we can take that performance into the league as well. You will be the first non league side to play with va are, are you nervous or excited . We would have had a penalty given last week if there had been var, the lads have been chatting about it today as soon as it was announced, see who is going to be putting the old sign up. Really looking forward to it. James, best of luck and thank you for your time. That game kicks off at 2 01pm. You can follow it on five live and the bbc sport website. Of course, you can follow the 3rd round of the fa cup across the bbc. Liverpool and everton live on bbc one on sunday, as well as arsenal V Leeds United on monday evening. And the bbc sport website will have live text commentary and goal clips across the weekend. Now, onto someone thats starting the new year we thought we would take a look at the effect on footballers in the top flight. The effect on footballers in the top flight. For most of us, this is the time of year we resolved to get fit. The League Footballers its the point of exhaustion. This weekend, most premier league clubs will play their fifth game in 15 days. Before that, the leaders liverpool were at the world world cup. They will be facing everton in the fa cup. The boys ran 13 kilometres last night to wina boys ran 13 kilometres last night to win a premier league game. I can tell them, try and run only 11 so you are fine for the next game but it doesnt work like this. It is more, its quicker, its more physical and demanding in all departments. There are numbers behind the grumbles. According to the website physio room, 120 premier League Players are currently injured, including 11, a whole team, and newcastle. Spurs lost top scorer harry kane on new years day, one of seven of their squad currently out. If you look at the number of injuries in the premier league, players over the last two weeks, you realise that recovering is not enough. The players that are not protected players that belong to squads with so Many Solutions that there is also a little space for rotation. So, the physios room becomes the front line, it takes more than a magic sponge to nurse footballers through the season because that most gruelling assault course. They are dealing with engines on the brink of overheating. Those games in between games are really, really important in minimising risk. It might be a sense of getting a massage, it might be using just a gentle recovery strategies, but at this time of year, particularly with the commercial demands of for example new years day boxing day fixtures, trying to fit all that in pushes people to the limit. On the other side of this, the cameras. Television is at the core of the premier league. Two entire rounds of games are shown live over the festive period but liverpools boss thinks rest will be more. We need to need to talk to the football people andi need to talk to the football people and i think there is a solution possible. And that no one will miss a game and think, why cant i watch a game and think, why cant i watch a Football Game today question that there will be enough football. We accept that 100 , we love this game. Again, we have to do make sure we all can come through and at the end to the best team wins and not the most lucky with injuries and stuff like this. This season, for the first time there will be a winter break in february. At the premier leagues effort to reduce workload but players and managers may still be counting the cost of christmas much later in the year. Christmas much now, onto someone thats starting the new year with some good news. Alex danson has announced her return to Great Britain hockey set up 18 months after suffering a head injury. It left her with a long term concussion. The olympic gold medallist, has suffered from a long term concussion after hitting her head on a wall in 2018. But she will be reunited with the rest of the squad on monday with Tokyo Olympics on the horizon. Well, we can speak to her now. This must be a real boost for you, starting 2020 with a return to the gb set up . Yes, thank you very much. Its like a dream start to the year for me. I cant wait to rejoin the squad on monday after what has been a really difficult 18 months and sometimes felt like i would never get to this point. I cant wait to rejoin the group. Because what kind of steps have you had to do to make you realise that you are ready to return . Its been very slow. The First Six Months of my head injury, i could do very, very little. I was in hospital. When i came out, i could hardly get to the bathroom. Its been very, very gradual. I slowly integrated getting outside, getting to shops, communicating with people, up to doing some exercise. Soi people, up to doing some exercise. So i feel now is the right time to rejoin, even though i still have a few symptoms. To be back with the group in that environment i think will be good for my health and hopefully will get me back to hockey. It certainly will be. Now, just on concussion, is it one of the ha rd est just on concussion, is it one of the hardest injuries you have had to deal with . Without question, this has been the most difficult 18 months in my 18 year career, without a shadow of a doubt. Its the invisible nature of it, its the unknown. You know, iwas invisible nature of it, its the unknown. You know, i was hoping that when i first hit my head it would be a couple of weeks. We are 18 months on andi a couple of weeks. We are 18 months on and i am not 100 . Its been incredibly challenging. The team ive had around me have been absolutely fabulous. Im delighted that im being welcomed back to the group. The rehabilitation a medical tea m group. The rehabilitation a medical team have kept me going over this time. Knowing that tokyo is fast approaching, does that put you under pressure . I suppose its an injury that can be unpredictable at times . Its very unpredictable and as i said, i still have a little way to go. Of course, ifelt personally said, i still have a little way to go. Of course, i felt personally the pressure of tokyo, if i want to return, i understand what its like being a full time athlete. This really is for me the last time i would be able to rejoin, even consider being able to be considered for those Tokyo Olympics. But, of course, my health is the priority so im going to go back and im going to see what i can do, how i can integrate back into full training and really go step by step and that will be medically led. If that all goes well and we all hope it well and you are lining up a beside the girls in tokyo, how much will this journey have tested you physically as well as mentally . I think for me it has been the ultimate test that ive probably ever experienced in my life. Its physically got me to my absolute lowest and it mentally made me really question whether id ever get back to health, let alone back to sport. Ive had a great team around me, my husband has been fabulous, as have my family. If i have the opportunity, even to think that i could stand there with my team mates. At the that i could stand there with my team mates. At the moment, that gives me an enormous amount ofjoy. Im very aware its an enormous mountain to climb but yes, if i had that opportunity, id look back with immense pride. And also, if all goes well and we see you back in tokyo, theres a chance of retaining the olympic gold medal as well, which im sure you have fond memories of backin im sure you have fond memories of back in rio . Of course, rio was really like a dream come true. We won eight games in 13 days and became olympic champions, something the team worked so hard for. Ive been away 18 months but the team have been doing fabulously well and i know. Have been doing fabulously well and iknow. Im have been doing fabulously well and i know. Im still very connected, i know. Im still very connected, i know that is the ambition, looking forward to tokyo. I believe the squad that goes well have a fantastic opportunity of doing their very best to obtain that title. Alex, great to see you back end with a smile on your face. Best of luck with your recovery and thank you for speaking to us. Thanks very much, thank you. The nfl playoffs start tomorrow night. Tom bradys new England Patriots will play in the wildcard round for the first time in 10 seasons which means if they are to retain their super bowl title they will need to play a game extra. Earlier, i spoke to nfl coach Phoebe Sche
