FA FIFA protest; England command The Ashes; Martina Navratilova climbs Mount Kilimanjaro.

Acting FA chairman Roger Burden will not take the permanent job in protest at FIFA; Alistair Cook on why his parents missed his 235 not out; Martina Navratilova climbs Kilimanjaro.

Two days after Russia won the right to host the 2018 World Cup, the acting chairman of the Football Association, Roger Burden, has withdrawn his application to take the full time post in protest at FIFA's treatment of England's bid.

We get reaction from former FA chief executives David Davies and Mark Palios.

England take control on day two of the second Ashes test in Adelaide, ending the day on 317 for two, a lead of 72. Alistair Cook reveals that his parents missed his 235 not out at Brisbane because their Sky box had broken, but they're in Adelaide!

Less than a year after being diagnosed with breast cancer, tennis legend Martina Navratilova is about to climb Africa's highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjro. We talk to her from Nairobi.
