Live coverage of the first morning's play in the fourth Cornhill Insurance Test match, from Headingley, between England and Australia. The six-Test series reaches a crucial stage at a ground where England have a score to settle. Four years ago the visitors achieved a total of over 600 to retain the Ashes in what was Graham
Gooch's last match as England captain.
Among the Aussie heroes then was Steve Waugh, whose 157 not out followed an undefeated 177 in the Leeds Test of 1989. Introduced by Tony Lewis.

The fourth of a five-part series about Chris Patten's governorship of Hong Kong, presented by Jonathan Dimbleby.

China threatens to tear up the Patten blueprint. In Hong Kong, growing concern about post-1997 civil rights forms a backdrop to the 1995 elections, which turn out to be a triumph for democracy and for Patten. However, they are soon overshadowed by new conflicts over the "rule of law" and British passports.
