Coming up this weekend

There's a football double-header on Friday night to kick off our live action: Germany visit Wembley to take on the Lionesses in a friendly (7.30pm, all times BST, then GMT from Sunday), while there's a Premier League derby as Leicester host Nottingham Forest at 8pm.

Into Saturday and day three of the deciding Pakistan v England Test gets us started from 6am. Football is back on the menu at 3pm, as Manchester City headline our clockwatch with a home Premier League game against Southampton. Everton v Fulham follows at 5.30pm, while we end the day in style with Real Madrid entertaining Barcelona in El Clásico (8pm).

The clocks go back into Sunday, meaning a 5am GMT start for day four of Pakistan v England in Rawalpindi. And as that wraps up, our focus switches to the Premier League, kicking off with Chelsea v Newcastle (2pm) and followed by Arsenal v Liverpool (4.30pm). And the weekend concludes with F1 action from 8pm, and lap-by-lap news from the Mexican Grand Prix.
