England assistant coach Paul Farbrace has been speaking to the BBC and believes Friday's triangular series match with India, which will decide who meets Australia in the final, will be good preparation for the World Cup next month.

Asked about hopes for the World Cup, Farbrace, who guided Sri Lanka to the World Twenty20 title last year, said: "We'd be hugely disappointed if we didn't get to the quarter final. Once you get to the quarter final it's knock out stages, and that's why Friday's quite exciting because it is a knock out game, and it gives us the chance to see the boys under pressure. If we can get to the quarter final, anything can happen. I experienced that with Sri Lanka."

Even the great Gary Lineker, who has played in two World Cups and two FA Cup finals, admitted to nerves when conducting the draw. You can watch his ordeal, and his discussion about the experience with Mark Chapman, on the BBC website now.

That updated draw in case you missed it:

Crystal Palace v Liverpool or Bolton Wanderers

Arsenal v Middlesbrough

Aston Villa v Leicester City

West Brom v West Ham

Bradford City v Sunderland or Fulham

Blackburn Rovers v Stoke City

Derby County v Reading

Preston NE or Sheffield Utd v Cambridge Utd or Manchester Utd

Ties to be played on the weekend of 14 and 15 February.

One big name has already gone out today in Melbourne, with third seed Rafael Nadal beaten 6-2 6-0 7-6 (7-5) by seventh seed Tomas Berdych, the Czech ending a 17-match losing streak against the 14-time Grand Slam champion.

We have another story from the BBC sports editor Dan Roan's interview with Lance Armstrong, who believes Brian Cookson has not delivered on his campaign promises since taking over at the International Cycling Union.

Some Rangers news this morning and the club say they have accepted a £10m loan from Mike Ashley's Sports Direct retail company to relieve the "perilous" financial state of the club.

Much for you to dissect in today's BBC Sport Gossip column, including Juventus saying a £75m offer for Paul Pogba would be hard to reject and Newcastle making Derby boss Steve McClaren their number one managerial target in the summer.
