BOSNIA 2-0 WALES FROM LAURIE WHITWELL AT THE STADION BILINO POLJE: So it transpires the most meaningful action as far as Wales were concerned was taking place in Jerusalem. That Cyprus pulled off a shock win in the Israeli capital meant the 18 points collected already by Chris Coleman's team will prove sufficient to ending the long wait.
Easter and Nowell bag hat-tricks as Lancaster's side end sorry World Cup campaign with win
ENGLAND 60-3 URUGUAY FROM SAM PETERS AT MANCHESTER CITY STADIUM: As far as no-win games go, this was the ultimate. The score line said England won, but hope had long since been lost. Stuart Lancaster insisted this week the last impression his England players left would be the one they will be remembered for. If only. This game will be forgotten in a heartbeat.
Wales 6-15 Australia: Wallabies withstand Dragons onslaught with two men sin-binned to top Pool A and progress to face Scotland
OLIVER HOLT AT TWICKENHAM: They came to Twickenham to play England a fortnight ago and recorded one of the most memorable victories in their proud rugby history but, in a visceral, unforgiving, unyielding clash against Australia, Wales could not repeat the magic. The match turned on a hypnotic, inspiring 10-minute spell deep into the second half when Australia were temporarily reduced to 13 men and Wales pounded into their defence with wave after wave of attacks. Twickenham turned into the Millennium Stadium in those moments as the Welsh fans roared their team on. The noise was deafening and it seemed certain that the defensive line would be breached. But Australia would not yield.
PLAYER RATINGS: North shines at centre for Wales but Cuthbert fails to deliver in defeat by impressive Australia

Sainz insists he's fine and wants to race on Sunday despite 200mph crash in practice
MATT MORLIDGE IN SOCHI: Carlos Sainz insists he is 'fine' and wants to race at the Russian Grand Prix on Sunday despite his high-speed crash in the final practice session. The Spanish driver was airlifted to hospital after the frightening accident, where he lost control of his Toro Rosso at around 200mph heading into turn 13. The 21-year-old slammed into the wall before becoming submerged in the TecPro blocks, even piercing the metal Armco barrier behind them.
Ivanovic misses out on first final in 10 months as back injury ends China Open hopes in semi to Bacsinszky
Ana Ivanovic missed out on a golden opportunity to reach a first final since January as she was defeated by Timea Bacsinszky in the semi-finals of the China Open. Former world No 1 Ivanovic looked on course to make the championship match in Beijing after taking the first set but Bacsinszky edged a tight second set before going on to comfortably close out a 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 victory.
England 2-0 Estonia: Walcott and Sterling goals seal Hodgson's side record ninth win
NEIL ASHTON AT WEMBLEY: There had been fighting talk from Theo Walcott when he claimed that the whole country wanted him to start in his favourite position for England. It was the new Walcott, casting himself in the tough-guy role after years playing second fiddle to Olivier Giroud at Arsenal and pretty much regarded as an afterthought with the national team. Suddenly the guy means business. He is playing his way into the starting line up for England, very much man of the moment again after scoring the opening goal in this functional, ordinary victory over Estonia.
Wilshere treats girlfriend to dinner in Mayfair as crocked Arsenal star's injury woes continue
He'd rather have been playing at Wembley on Friday night but injured England midfielder Jack Wilshere found an alternative way to take his mind off his fitness woes. The 23-year-old is currently out of action, after undergoing surgery last month to properly correct a hairline fracture in his left fibula, but that didn't stop him from wining and dining his girlfriend Adriana Michael. The pair were pictured together heading for dinner at Roka restuarant in Mayfair on Friday night.

New Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has wasted no time in getting down to business in his new role as he watched the club's Under 18 side in action against Stoke City on Saturday morning. Klopp watched his club's young stars at Liverpool's Kirkby ground alongside academy director Alex Inglethorpe and Under 21 chief Michael Beale. The German tactician, who was unveiled as the Reds' new boss on Friday, saw the Under 18 side claim a 1-0 win in what was Liverpool's first game under his reign - albeit a youth match.
JAMIE CARRAGHER: Klopp's arrival is a gift for the whole of the Premier League
JAMIE CARRAGHER: Ask many fans what they best remember about Rafa Benitez and they'll say his famous 'fact' press conference in which he attacked Manchester United. That's the same man who won Liverpool the Champions League in 2005 in the most dramatic circumstances. Benitez and Gerard Houllier - Liverpool's only other foreign manager up until this week - were adored and lauded at Anfield but, outside Liverpool, they were not particularly loved. Jurgen Klopp is different.
Manchester United and Liverpool spent big in the transfer window, while Chelsea and Arsenal struggled... but which Premier League club did the best summer business?
SAM CUNNINGHAM: Almost a quarter of the Barclays Premier League season has passed and teams are already starting to be defined by their activity - or lack of - in the summer transfer window. Some clubs have spent heavily, others shrewdly and bargains are emerging as are expensive wastes. Sportsmail has assessed the spending of every single top flight club and rated how successful they have been, their best buy - including loans - and their worst.

In his latest autobiography - called Second Innings - he addresses this. He talks about Andrew, the man he believes to be the 'real' Flintoff: a jumble, he says, of insecurity and vulnerability. And he talks about Andrew's alter ego 'Freddie', the fast-living, fast-bowling cricketer everybody thinks they know.

Will peace break out at Real? Benitez tries to get Ramos back on side after Ronaldo and Benzema spats show power of players
PETE JENSON IN SPAIN: Player power seems alive and kicking at Real Madrid after Rafa Benitez was pressured into calling Sergio Ramos to explain comments he made about the player after Sunday's Madrid derby draw. Benitez had been asked after the game if any of the mistakes had particularly upset him and he bemoaned Ramos' moment of madness in the first half that saw him give the ball away and then recover only to fly into a tackle in the area and concede a penalty.

New Zealand 47-9 Tonga: All Blacks seal top spot in Pool C with seven-try win at St James' but are still lacking stardust
JONATHAN MCEVOY AT ST JAMES' PARK: Whatever the scoreline says, this was not a story of All-Black domination from beginning to end. For all of the first-half it was the same misfiring New Zealanders who have struggled for the swagger that earned them the pre-tournament billing of overwhelming favourites. Yes, they did everything they needed against brave but ultimately exhausted Tonga to win Pool C, but it was only in the the second-half that a Newcastle crowd anticipating a cricket score in a football ground finally saw the world champions in clinical, expansive form.

Mourinho pens tribute to his idol Clough in new book about legendary Forest manager
CHARLES SALE: Struggling Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has provided the foreword for a book of the critically-acclaimed new film about Brian Clough's glory days at Nottingham Forest. Mourinho never met Clough, with whom he shares the distinction of winning two European Cups. But the Special One is said to have been a big enough fan of Old Big 'Ead's Forest side, even though the Portuguese was still at school in their 1970s heyday, to provide an informed 2,000-word introduction to top journalist Daniel Taylor's book I Believe In Miracles. The publication accompanies the film that premieres at Forest's City Ground on Sunday.
