19/03/2016 Saturday Sportsday

Hello, I'm Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes come a welcome to the BBC's centre.

Coming up from an England go for the Six Nations Grand Slam. We meet the

para-athletes going for gold in two sports. And get ready for cricket's

fiercest rivalry. That is all to come but first let's look at the

other sporting headlines. Formula 1's controversial qualifying could

be short lived, Lewis Hamilton took pole position for tomorrow's season

opener but the sport's bosses say the animation format may be changed

before the next race. Joe Root is being held as England's most

complete batsman ever. Root hit a match-winning innings in the World

T20 victory over South Africa. His captain Eoin Morgan also described

him as incredible. And Leicester's great Premier League title dream is

edging ever closer. Victory at a struggling Crystal Palace today

would put them eight points clear at the top of the table.

So, what a weekend of sport and it's only going to get better.

Let's talk rugby union because it's Super Saturday as the Six Nations

England's women missed out on the title, losing

Well, England have already won the Championship,

they're also playing France and our man in Paris

So, Olly, can England go all the way and win the Grand Slam

or are the French going to spoil the party?

They would love to do that. Good afternoon, Lizzie. It's been a

perfect start for Eddie Jones. The triple Crown secured last weekend,

and of course the title. But now it's all about the Grand Slam. And

for England they don't come around very often. Let's bring in a man who

has won three of them, Jeremy Guscott, thank you for joining us on

Saturday Sportsday. 13 years ago, that great World Cup winning side,

2003, the last time England won a Grand Slam. Why has it taken this

long? Will they win it, getting ahead of ourselves!

They have had opportunities. Most of those have been away from home, 2003

they won under Martin Johnson and Clive Woodward and in Dublin.

Subsequently they've gone to places like millennium in Dublin and it's

been successful. The Grand Slam is I was part of, for those three games

we won at Twickenham it was much more at home, we were used to it,

going away is hard and that is what they must do today. But Eddie has

got themselves in a good place for sub seems to take the heat off them,

giving us the emission to talk about him and what he's saying rather than

focusing on the side and today they have a great opportunity to carry on

playing the rugby they have been because that has been good enough to

win. What do you think he's done? They have not been massive changes

of personnel? He has got their confidence going and synced with

them. I liked the quote with Mako Vunipola, he was asked if he was

English or Tongan, he said play rugby like a Tongan. He's gone out

there and seen professional. Billy is close to being the man of the

torment with his magnificent runs and his all-round game which has

been brilliant. What I loved about England is the way they have

attacked, playing heads up rugby, what is in front of them, good

communication, looking at the space and attacking it.

Have scored fantastic tries. But they have blown it more often than

not. Five times they have been at this stage in the Six Nations

history and blown it for times and the French would just love to spoil

it. They would but France are not in a

good place, look at how well Eddie has come in and done what he did

with England, conversely Guy Noves has not done the same with France. I

think they will be relaxed, they won it already, go on and get the Grand

Slam. Jeremy Guscott, thank you. The other two matches, Wales against

Italy, Ireland against Scotland. One team of four could still finish

second but it is really all about the Grand Slam.

STUDIO: Thank you, Olly Foster. Now, we often hear of para

athletes who switch sports - think Dame Sarah Storey

who famously moved from the pool But very few continue to compete

in both at the highest level. Stuart Pollitt went

to meet Kadeena Cox, a runner and a cyclist at the top

of both sports and hoping she can go Kadeena Cox is pushing the

boundaries of Paris bought. She has multiple sclerosis, a fatiguing

condition, yet her winter has been spent either on the cycling track or

the running track. I do two days on the bike and two days on the

athletics track and two times in the gym. I've got two rest days and I

spend that time sleeping a lot of the time because I'm shattered.

Everyone knows my brother thinks I'm crazy. My sister loves it, they are

just worried I'm going to stretch myself too much. Kadeena Cox won the

200 metres gold in Doha in the World Athletics Championships. Now her

quest to double up in Rio has arrived in Italy near the gaps of --

bags of Lake Garda as she takes part in her first-ever World Track

Cycling Championships. Despite being moved to a category for less

impaired riders, on the evil of her race Kadeena Cox produced a

gold-medal ride and a world record. -- on the eve. Has it given you

confidence to pursue both sports up to September?

Yes, definitely. I am in the kind of shape I need to be in to go out

there and do something special. Team-mate Dame Sarah Storey, a

veteran of two Parolo exports herself, believes Kadeena Cox's

achievements can inspire. She absolutely is all ready

spreading that word and it's going to be fantastic to see that. The

time to do that is after the games when the medals have been won.

I want to do something no one else has done. Getting a couple of medals

would be fun. Kadeena Cox's quest to be number one in two sports is

certainly gathering pace. When it comes to sporting rivalries

they don't get much bigger or fiercer than India

versus Pakistan. The two great cricketing nations

are going head to head in a just over an hour's time

at the World T20. And Joe Wilson is keeping a keen eye

on it for the BBC in Kolkata. The stadium behind me

is the oldest and the Capacity, 66,000 these days,

it's nowhere near big Most of the people congregating

near the ground this afternoon I don't think

have a ticket, unless they've got They just want to feel

that they are part Which, of course, India

versus Pakistan, is more As explained by India's

spin bowler R Ashwin. It's very hard to put a finger

on and say how huge it is. It's probably bigger

than the Ashes is. So as far as Indians go

and the Pakistanis go, I don't think they watch this game

as a game of cricket, There are more police officers

arriving by the minute I'm going to be a little bit careful

of that gentleman walking across. days to prepare for this

match. It was shifted to this part

of India at the last minute. 2,500 police officers

are arriving, some of them by bus, although

that one is empty. Pakistan are basically

going from the hotel to the ground They have played one

match in the tournament And it has certainly

given their coach a good feeling We were very welcome, you know,

the crowd was really behind I'm sure it's not going to be

behind us against India. But that's the positive

we are going to take. We are going to try to

play the best cricket. Remember, India lost their first

game in this World T20 It caused a huge shock

around the country. I still think they are

favourites for this match. Remember, whenever

India and Pakistan have played each other in a World Cup

in an ICC competition It might just depend, though,

whether they are inspired today by this occasion,

or intimidated by it. They have had some heavy rain since

Joe sent the report so the match could be delayed, you will have to

keep across the BBC's website to find out what happened.

That's almost it, just a quick score update

from the lunchtime kick off between Everton

Danny Welbeck has scored for Arsenal, they are leading 1-0.

And there's plenty more sport here on BBC One,

with the World Indoor Athletics and the Six Nations

But from all of us on Saturday Sportsday,

Scotland head to Ireland after back-to-back victories.
