12.05, 1.40, 3.30, 4.00, 4.30 Cricket: Third Test Coverage from the Oval of England v Pakistan. On the lasttwo visits to the Oval, Pakistan have clinched series victories over England. Fouryears ago they beat England by ten wickets to win the five-match series 2-1 while in 1987 a draw was enough to give them a 1-0 victory.
Javed Miandad steered the tourists to a record score of 708 in that 1987 match, Miandad hitting 260 of those runs with Salim Malik and Imran Khan also passing the century mark. This total meant England were forced to engage in a formidable rearguard action to escape with a draw, which they did thanks to Mike Gatting and Ian Botham. Commentary by Richie Benaud , Geoff Boycott , David Gower , As if Iqbal and Tony Lewis.

Five years after the fall of communism, the new Russia has been gripped by capitalist anarchy and spiralling inflation that has made Moscow the most expensive city outside Japan. But Magenta DeVine goes out on the town with a group of flourishing young millionaires, ending at a club with a £6,500 entrance fee.
By contrast, previously well-paid professionals are now struggling to survive. Simon O'Brien talks to one of them, a doctor who now earns more selling kebabs than saving lives.
Before leaving for St Petersburg, the pair sample Moscow's nightlife: DeVine with an elite police squad formed to combat Moscow's mafia and O'Brien with fashion-conscious clubbers living a nocturnal existence.
In St Petersburg, the country's cultural heart, the pair experience white nights at a weekend dacha party in which a 2am beach rave takes place under the sun rather than the stars.
