Gary Lineker presents live coverage of England's friendly against Trinidad and Tobago, which takes place in the Caribbean.
At club level, it has been a successful season for English clubs, with three reaching the last four of the Champions League. But the national side will be not be present when the European Championship kicks off in less than a week's time.
The Football Association has set new England manager Fabio Capello the target of reaching the 2010 World Cup semi-finals, so the Italian will need to settle on his preferred line-up as the autumn qualifying stages loom.
England and Trinidad and Tobago have met just once before – that meeting came in the group stages of the 2006 World Cup, where late goals from Peter Crouch and Steven Gerrard rescued England from what would have been an embarrassing draw against the Soca Warriors, the smallest country ever to qualify for the World Cup.

Suzi Perry presents live coverage of round six of this season's MotoGP championship in Mugello, Italy.
In recent years, the Mugello race has been dominated by home favourite Valentino Rossi and the Italian is aiming for a seventh consecutive victory at the venue in 2008. After a slow start to this campaign, 29-year-old Rossi announced his return to form with his first victory of the season in Shanghai last month and is determined to regain the title which he has not won for the past two seasons. British fans will be monitoring the progress of MotoGP rookie James Toseland, who will be tackling the Mugello track for the first time.

BBC Two brings viewers highlights of the second of the season's three Rowing World Cup regattas from Lucerne.
With the Beijing Olympics just a couple of months away, the teams will be fine-tuning their crews and gearing up their preparations for Beijing.
Britain's flagship coxless four, who are aiming for a third consecutive Olympic gold, will be hoping for a smoother build-up to Lucerne than they had to the first World Cup regatta in Munich last month, when a back injury forced out newest recruit Tom James.
The British squad have happy memories of Lucerne, however, having clinched their first ever World Cup trophy at the Swiss lake last July.

 Ray Mears meets "Bush-Tucker Man"
Les Hiddins on his journey through
the Australian Outback Britain's foremost survival expert, Ray Mears, goes walkabout in Australia in his new series for BBC Two.
Ray Mears sets out on his second of four journeys through the wilderness of the Australian Outback.
Ray Mears and "Bush-Tucker Man" Les Hiddins meet in this second episode in the series. The pair appear to have much in common, not least their love of the wilderness and indigenous people and their contributions to Bush craft.
Ray and Les take a trip across Les's home state of Queensland. Their journey starts in the jungle of the East Coast – full of "tucker" – slang for food – strange dinosaur-like nests and plants that leave a sting like no other. Here, Ray sleeps in a "swag" rather than his usual jungle hammock and shows how the buttresses of the local trees provide an opportunity for impromptu Bush craft.
Ray and Les visit Cape Tribulation on their way to Cooktown and tell of Captain Cook's journey up this coast.
As they journey, Ray and Les find that they have similar views on many things. Heading inland, they take a draining drive across the unchanging terrain of Queensland.
Finally, Ray and Les reach the crash site of Second World War bomber Little Eva. The site, which can only be reached via helicopter, symbolises how and why Les first became interested in Bush tucker.

 Casey (Spencer Grammer) finds
her plans go awry this week Rusty is settling into his first week and his initiation into his fraternity house, Kappa Tau, as the new, US comedy drama following the lives of young people on a university campus continues.
But things are not going well for Rusty. He falls asleep on the first task he's set for his fraternity, and his disappointed "brothers" leave him to wake up late for class with no shoes, blue feet, and strategically placed holes in his trousers...
Meanwhile, Rusty's sister, Casey, has a problem of her own in Rebecca Logan – the daughter of a powerful politician who hooked up with Casey's boyfriend, Evan. Rebecca is trying to join the Zeta Beta Zeta sorority. So, in the hope of making a fool of her, Casey gives Rebecca an all-but-impossible list of items to find for the sorority's scavenger hunt. Casey's plan backfires when Rebecca is caught by campus police trying to find one of the items on the list and blames it squarely on Casey.
Rusty, meanwhile, is facing a serious time-management challenge when he has to juggle completing an assignment with his next night of initiation at Kappa Tau. Rusty convinces his roommate, Dale, to split the work with him but ends up leaving Dale in the lurch.
Jacob Zachar is Rusty, Spencer Grammer is Casey Cartwright, Dilsad Vadsaria is Rebecca, Jake McDorman is Evan and Clark Duke is Dale.
