    Wales need a just a point from their last two qualifying games to confirm their place in next year's Euro 2016 tournament in France.

    Bale suffered a calf injury last month on club duty with Real Madrid.

    England take on Estonia in Euro 2016 qualification at Wembley tonight.

    Roy Hodgson's side may already be safely qualified, but there will be plenty of players desperate to deliver a great performance, not least Tottenham's Harry Kane, who despite an unconvincing start to the club season is set to get a start in place of the injured Wayne Rooney.

    You'll be able to follow it all in our dedicated Euro 2016 live text.

    England are already safely qualified for Euro 2016, but will they stick with the team that got them there? Or can some new names force their way into the team ahead of the tournament in France?

    Radio 5 live have put together a Fringe XI made up of players not in the current squad - do you reckon any of these players can force their way in?

    Strachan still best man - Dalglishpublished at 17:15

    Football

    Scotland legend Kenny Dalglish believes manager Gordon Strachan should stay in charge - despite presiding over a failed qualification campaign for Euro 2016.

    "I think you're off your head if you think you're going to get anybody better," he told BBC Scotland. 

    "It's always the manager that gets it, but why change the manager if you can't get a better one? It was a difficult group to get out of, so the disappointment should be overruled by common sense."

    Brilliant Burgess can shine in union - Folaupublished at 16:58

    Rugby Union

    Australia full-back Israel Folau has backed England's Sam Burgess to shine in rugby union.

    Burgess switched from rugby league to the 15-man code less than a year ago and was criticised by some for his role in England's crucial World Cup defeat by Wales - after which he was dropped from the starting XV.

    But Folau, himself a convert from league, said: "I think Sam's a brilliant player and his progress, from my point of view, has been going good. He is a great athlete who can do really well in the union game and I hope he does."

    Bayliss mulls tough call on Wood and Finnpublished at 16:48

    Cricket

    More on England's preparations for the first Test against Pakistan. 

    Bowler Steven Finn took 4-16 in the final warm-up match against Pakistan A and head coach Trevor Bayliss says it will be hard to choose between him and Mark Wood for the third seamer's spot in the Test XI.

    "They both bowled very well," Bayliss said. "Finn finished with wickets in this match but Wood bowled extremely well in the first [warm-up] and on another day could have taken a bag-full. That will be a tough call."
