14/05/2016 Saturday Sportsday

Hello and welcome to the BBC Sport Centre.

I'm Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes, coming-up on Saturday Sportsday:

We're looking ahead to Saracens big day in Europe.

We meet England's great Yorkshire hope -

And Max Chilton tells us why he's mad about Indycar.

But first here's a quick look at the day's top sporting stories.

Derby are taking on Hull in the first leg of their

It is goalless at the moment with around 20 minutes on the clock.

Nico Rosberg is going for his 3rd pole at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Qualifying starts in a few minutes time.

Andy Murray is bidding to reach the Italian Open final -

he plays Lucas Pouille in the last four later today.

Rory McIlroy is hoping for another day like yesterday

when he starts his third round of the Players' Championship.

He shot an 8-under par round at Sawgrass.

And Great Britain's divers win Gold number two

at the European Championships - Jack Laugher and Chris Mears

winning the three metres springboard synchro title.

After disappointment for harlequins in Europe last night today Saracens

are flying the flag for English rugby union in the Champions Cup

final. They are playing Racing 92, wedding to become the first

premiership side to win Europe's top competition for nine years. These

are the players everyone is talking about, all Blacks legend Dan Carter

versus England's Owen Farrell. Patrick has been following the

build-up for us. Leon is built where two rivers merge, a gentle joining

forces. Travel out of town of oil and you will reach the setting for a

more violent collision. Dan Carter is reportedly the best played player

in the world, he is the star of Racing 92. The all conquering all

Black has more points to his name than anyone else in international

rugby, he won his second World Cup last year, moved to France and could

add a European Champions Cup but he prefers to reflect the light on

others. To me I am just lucky to be part of a couple of pretty special

teams. The all Blacks and what they achieved, and now being involved in

a special team, I find myself lucky to play alongside some great players

and great teams. The intrigue of this game lies in its contrast,

Paris versus London, the wealthy French league against the emergent

English premiership, the cool Danielle Carter and the fire of Owen

Farrell. Owen Farrell is the man who must get Carter, the sheer number

but not an nature. Farrell is known for his full-blooded approach which

has helped earn 40 England caps before his birthday. But he is a add

Meyler of the calm of Carter. Might speak to him after and shake his

hand, brilliant but on the pitch you have a job to do. You have a job to

do and you focus and you are in the zone, tried win the game. This game

cannot be distilled down to one competition however important. There

will be fascinating battles between the packs and the backs. The team

with the greatest steel will be carved into silver. A busy summer of

Test cricket begins on Thursday with England taking on Sri Lanka at

Headingley. The Yorkshire players are likely to play a big part in any

success, particular Joe Root. We sent Joe Wilson to meet Root and his

dad. Everybody here knows the cricketing world revolves around one

place, we are in Yorkshire. I am meeting and man you could call the

world best batsmen. He knows what made him, his upbringing, holding a

bat from birth, by 12 he was playing in the Yorkshire 's men lead. Good

people skills, growing up in a working environment where you learn

to be part of something quite special. That has stood me in good

stead growing up. Keeping you grounded? Absolutely. What is the

best piece of advice you can remember from your dad? Probably

watch the ball, something as simple as that. Let's ask him. Work hard

and he has always worked hard. Always played for the team. Did not

have to teach him a lot, he picked things up himself. His attitude has

always been good, he keeps things reasonably simple. He is in

sparkling form, a double century poor Yorkshire in his last match. In

much of the country there is doubt about the ongoing appeal of cricket

but here there is success. In the Yorkshire team which beat Surrey,

seven of the 11 players have played for England recently. Try imagining

English cricket without Yorkshire. What would in your mind represent a

successful summer? I think winning both series. In the test arena and

again in the one-day and the 2020. We want to make sure, if possible we

can get a clean sweep. These days, an essential part of cricket is

winning. From cricket to fast cars, we have been catching up with Max

Chilton who has joined the illustrious list of racing drivers

to make the switch from Formula 1 to IndyCar. In a couple of weeks' time

he will be in the showcase event, the Indy 500. IndyCar is an American

institution. And Max Chilton is the latest in a long line of Brits to

set his sights on the States. I have been so used to a certain type of

racing my whole life, going around one of these places and I was nine

years old, to different style of racing in America. As with most

racing drivers it was carting where he fell in love with the sport and

it soon blossomed into the pinnacle. I came up through the ranks with

having success but you cannot have success without the car, when I got

to Formula 1 that was the biggest problem, still the biggest car I'd

ever driven but compare to the competitors it was one of the worst

on the grid. There were things I wanted to achieve but as I have

learnt in the last few years life carries on. He has packed a lot into

his short career. And now the Indy 500. I think the race will be

daunting, 34 cars, 235 miles an hour, at that speed you are doing a

football pitch in one second. It's the biggest motor race in the world.

Some of them would probably not get signed off by the Formula 1 chiefs,

does that worry you? I do think about it, Justin Wilson passed away

recently because of a freak accident. Whatever we do to the car

as they will still be dangers involved. He has reason to be wary,

Wilson and another British driver, Dan Wheldon, both died on the track.

And a man he grew up with suffered the same fate. This was my first

international kart race and I have got Jules Bianchi who was my

team-mate at the time. We had a long partnership, rivalry in motor sport.

He would go on to do great things, he would get things perfect. I

learned a lot from him. With that inspiration he is hoping to win the

Indy 500 in his rookie season. I know I have the car to do the job at

the hardest pressure is knowing you have a chance of winning, I am

hoping to thrive off that and get some extra adrenaline to succeed.

How exciting. It is still goalless in the

championship play-off semifinal between Derby County and Hull City.
