Coming up: It's cricket's World Twenty20 Final tomorrow.

:00:17.:00:22.

England are trying to win the trophy for the second time.

:00:23.:00:26.

And with a little over 100 days to go until the Rio Olympics,

:00:27.:00:29.

we catch up with a couple of British athletes with medals on their minds.

:00:30.:00:32.

But first, let's look at some of the day's sporting headlines.

:00:33.:00:36.

Former golf world number one Tiger Woods will not take part

:00:37.:00:39.

in next week's Masters because of a back injury.

:00:40.:00:41.

Woods, who's won the Masters four times, is now 40 years old and has

:00:42.:00:45.

not played competitively since August.

:00:46.:00:47.

Woods has had two operations on his back.

:00:48.:00:49.

Third practise is just getting under way in Bahrain at the second

:00:50.:00:52.

Grand Prix of the Formula One season.

:00:53.:00:56.

Mercedes dominated the first two sessions, with Nico Rosberg -

:00:57.:00:58.

who won the opening race in Australia -

:00:59.:01:00.

And this routine is being called the greatest free

:01:01.:01:04.

Javier Fernandez's performance won him the gold medal

:01:05.:01:09.

at the World Figure Skating Championships.

:01:10.:01:11.

The Spanish skater landed three quadruple jumps.

:01:12.:01:20.

Cricket's world Twenty20 finals take place tomorrow with England facing

:01:21.:01:23.

West Indies trying to claim that trophy.

:01:24.:01:25.

There's been some brilliant batting on show

:01:26.:01:26.

during the tournament and fans are hoping for more

:01:27.:01:29.

As we final, who better to have alongside

:01:30.:01:43.

me than England's Jos Buttler. What is the overriding feeling amongst

:01:44.:01:48.

the England players? To some extent are you surprised to be here? A

:01:49.:01:54.

little bit maybe, but immense excitement throughout the group, the

:01:55.:01:58.

World Cup final seemed a long way off when we were chasing 230 against

:01:59.:02:03.

South Africa in Mumbai. There's so much room for growth in this team,

:02:04.:02:10.

so to have this come so early on in the team's chef life is fantastic.

:02:11.:02:19.

-- shelf life is fantastic. The West Indies are a great collection of

:02:20.:02:23.

individuals, some outstanding t20 players. You played them once and

:02:24.:02:28.

lost to them when Chris Gayle was on fire, but they are beatable aren't

:02:29.:02:32.

they? Of course they are. Every team in the world is beatable. We would

:02:33.:02:35.

back ourselves against anyone, so with the characters in the side who

:02:36.:02:39.

want to step up on the big occasion, we've got some guys who are really

:02:40.:02:45.

looking forward to that chance. India for you, the world t20 will

:02:46.:02:48.

finish, hopefully with England as champions. Then you've got the IPL

:02:49.:02:53.

coming up, in Mumbai. Do you like it here? Do you get the passion that

:02:54.:02:58.

India has for cricket? Yes, I was just saying on the bus in with Joe

:02:59.:03:04.

Root it is like nowhere really. It is fanatical. You see some of the

:03:05.:03:09.

headlines about England cricket, England would probably have to lose

:03:10.:03:14.

the final of a World Cup football for us to get similar scenes like

:03:15.:03:18.

that in England. It is an amazing country to come to. You've got to

:03:19.:03:21.

embrace everything that's going on. To play cricket here in front of

:03:22.:03:25.

crowds, even when there's not many people in, they make a hell of a

:03:26.:03:30.

noise. It is going to be an immense experience for myself to play in the

:03:31.:03:36.

IPL. IPL. It is one I'm really looking forward to. Jos Buttler,

:03:37.:03:40.

thank you for your time. This is the final of an international tournament

:03:41.:03:44.

but in a country where cricket really matters. And there's full

:03:45.:03:48.

commentary of that match tomorrow afternoon on BBC Radio 5Live sports

:03:49.:03:51.

extra. Not to the pool. Adam Peaty led the way with three

:03:52.:04:04.

goals but it is 28 years since Great Britain had a male Olympic champion.

:04:05.:04:12.

He hopes to end that hiatus and emulate Adrian Moorhouse. Can he win

:04:13.:04:25.

the gold? I think he's going to. Yes he does! It is a world record.

:04:26.:04:32.

Peaty's got it on the last stroke! He beats the Olympic champion and

:04:33.:04:37.

the world champion is Adam Peaty of Great Britain. 2014 was my breakout

:04:38.:04:42.

year. I think this year is no different. I've worked harder than

:04:43.:04:45.

ever. What do you do with your medals? I'm proud of them, so we

:04:46.:04:50.

keep them downstairs where everyone can see them, or at my nan's, I

:04:51.:04:57.

always want more. Hopefully one day that will be an Olympic medal,

:04:58.:05:04.

maybe. It is 28 years since Britain last had a male Olympic swimming

:05:05.:05:08.

champion, Adrian Moorhouse in 1988. Peaty desperately wants to be the

:05:09.:05:13.

one to end that run. I was thinking this morning while training how long

:05:14.:05:17.

one to end that run. I was thinking has it been. ? Gold medallist and

:05:18.:05:19.

Olympic champion, Adrian Moorhouse! CHEERING. My main rivals are saying

:05:20.:05:25.

I've got all the pressure now, the World Championship titles. All the

:05:26.:05:29.

world is looking to me, but I think they are more worried about it

:05:30.:05:32.

because they are speaking about it. The world record is 26. 62. He

:05:33.:05:38.

destroyed the world record! Do you think it is going to take close to

:05:39.:05:43.

that world record in the Olympic final? Yes, just to prove a point. I

:05:44.:05:48.

want to get the best out of what I can get. Do you feel in the best

:05:49.:05:52.

condition of your life? Definitely. I'm working on areas where I've

:05:53.:05:56.

never been as good. Last year I lost maybe half a second off the start.

:05:57.:05:59.

I've done everything possible this season. I'm not playing catch-up any

:06:00.:06:04.

more. I'm a bigger athlete now. A lot more muscle and strength. If it

:06:05.:06:09.

was a formula, it would come out on top this year. Hopefully if anyone

:06:10.:06:14.

is near me in that last 25, they can bring it home for Britain. And

:06:15.:06:19.

British Olympic swimming trials start later this month. As do

:06:20.:06:31.

tennis, table tennis players in Rio. Since then Joanna has taken a break

:06:32.:06:38.

to have a baby and Paul is finding things have certainly changed. The

:06:39.:06:45.

2nd August 2014 was a golden day for Mr and Mrs Drinkhall.

:06:46.:06:48.

COMMENTATOR: Delight for the Drinkhalls. The fifth seeds Paul and

:06:49.:06:56.

Joanna Drinkhall, gold medallists in the mixed doubles event. Paul and

:06:57.:07:04.

Joanna have since expanded their family, which means only one of the

:07:05.:07:08.

double acts will be going for another medal this summer. So much

:07:09.:07:13.

has changed since the Drinkhalls won gold at the Commonwealth games in

:07:14.:07:17.

Glasgow. This little man's arrived for one. Dougie has turned their

:07:18.:07:20.

lives upside down, but he's determined to cheer his dad on as he

:07:21.:07:24.

tries to get to Rio and the Olympics. It is a massive change.

:07:25.:07:28.

The first child. A lot different things at home. Struggling to fit,

:07:29.:07:33.

you struggle to eat for a while. Me and Jo were talking about it. In the

:07:34.:07:38.

first fee weeks you get to 4 o'clock in the afternoon and you think, I'm

:07:39.:07:43.

hungry, I haven't eaten all day. For me it helped my table tennis.

:07:44.:07:48.

There's more to life. There was before, obviously, but it is

:07:49.:07:52.

different having your own child. We've been lucky to see your little

:07:53.:07:57.

lad playing table tennis already. He'll be sick of it by the time he's

:07:58.:08:01.

a year old. Sometimes when Jo is doing things I had to bring Dougie

:08:02.:08:05.

with me to practise. Generally he is good. He sits and watches. He seems

:08:06.:08:11.

to like the noise when I'm warming up. He's watching me go around the

:08:12.:08:16.

room. He's to the a good tornado as well. A lot of people says his is

:08:17.:08:21.

better than mine. Priorities may have changed but the goal in Rio is

:08:22.:08:26.

still the same. I've proved in all the tournaments in the last two

:08:27.:08:29.

years that I can challenge anybody. It is just getting myself in the

:08:30.:08:32.

best shape and living the moment and enjoying that. If I do that,

:08:33.:08:40.

anything's possible. Better than a gold medal? Too right. Maybe he's a

:08:41.:08:46.

future Olympic champion for us. Us. That's it from the Saturday

:08:47.:08:50.

Sportsday team. We'll be back soon. Goodbye for now.
