Worcestershire's Brett D'Oliveira made his first hundred in over a year as he shared a 243-run opening stand with fellow centurion Daryl Mitchell against Derbyshire on day three at Derby.

After two rain-hit days, Derbyshire added 75 runs to be bowled out for 275, visiting skipper Joe Leach taking 4-50.
Former captain Mitchell then made 120, followed by 150 from D'Oliveira to help Worcestershire close on 323-3.
That is a lead of 48 - and quick runs on day four could set up a victory.
Mitchell, who had starred on this ground on Tuesday night to help Worcestershire book a One-Day cup semi-final, passed the landmark of 10,000 first-class runs for the county when he had reached 87.
Earlier, Derbyshire had held up Worcestershire for 20 overs in the morning session to earn a second batting point.
That was largely due to a ninth-wicket stand of 45 between Tony Palladino (32) and Tom Taylor, who was caught behind to give Ed Barnard the first of two late victims and Ben Cox his 200th first-class catch.
When Worcestershire batted, Mitchell was first to reach his ton, just before tea, while D'Oliveira's was his first since his career-best double century against Glamorgan last May when he began the season with three tons in four games.
Derbyshire skipper Billy Godleman told BBC Radio Derby:
"The wicket definitely played slightly differently when they batted. There was less in it for our bowlers.
"We were disappointed with how we bowled with the new ball, although both openers played well.
"I imagine they will come out and play a few shots and then we will have an opportunity and challenge against their bowlers in the second innings but we will fight as hard as we can."
Worcestershire opener Brett D'Oliveira told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"I'm really pleased for Mitch. It's been quite tough for us early season against the new ball on tasty pitches and for him to pass 10,000 runs is a hell of an achievement. He played a fantastic knock and helped me a lot.
"We are in a great position. We will try and kick on early and put them under pressure with the bat.
"We bat all the way down, which is a real strength for us so, if we can push on in the morning, the quicker we can get them in again."


Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's removal from power may have come as a shock to many Pakistanis, but they are by now quite adept at handling such chaos.

Between 1947, when the country won independence, and Mr Sharif's ousting on Friday, Pakistan has had 18 civilian prime ministers.
All have been forced out prematurely.
This is Mr Sharif's third removal from office, and things do not appear any worse for him now than in 1999 when he was toppled in a military coup.
Back then, he was briefly imprisoned and then sent off into exile to Saudi Arabia.
This time the axe was wielded by the Supreme Court because he failed to declare "his un-withdrawn receivables" from a UAE-based company, Capital FZE, as required under election rules.
Mr Sharif has said his position as chairman of the company was an honorary one, receiving no salary or benefits, and that he agreed to keep the position because it made it easier to obtain a UAE visa as and when it was required.
Many believe, however, that is not reason enough to remove an elected prime minister.
Veteran journalist, Imtiaz Alam, likened it to "the theft of a goat" - a reference to a ruse used by the country's establishment back in 1948 to sack a provincial chief minister.
More significantly, Capital FZE is not linked to the Sharif family's offshore companies or their London property - matters which were at the centre of the Supreme Court's investigations.
The matter of his involvement in those companies and properties, which were originally revealed by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) in its Panama Papers leaks last year, has been sent for a separate trial by a special anti-corruption court.
Earlier, the Supreme Court hearings were marred by controversy on several counts.
It was said that the case belonged in a criminal court, and the Supreme Court, which is an appellate body, initially refused to hear it. But then the court not only admitted the petition for hearing, it also took the unusual step of instituting its own investigation into the case, with a dominant role for the military intelligence services.
The answer may lie in Pakistan's sustained history of struggle for supremacy between the military and the political class.
Soon after independence in 1947, the government under the watch of the country's founder, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, sacked two provincial governments - both elected in the 1946 elections in undivided India - thus setting the tone for things to come.
Between 1951 and 1958, the combined military-civil bureaucratic establishment sacked as many as six prime ministers one after the other. The era culminated in the first military coup.
Pakistan's first ever election was held in 1970, and the first ever elected prime minister, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto - who assumed power in 1973 - was ousted in a military coup in 1977 and hanged on a murder charge in 1979.
Since then, the military establishment has alternatively used constitutional manipulation and direct takeovers to keep the civilian leaders in line. In this, it has invariably been supported by the top judiciary.
During this period, the military has developed a huge business and industrial empire which it runs from within, with little or no interference from the state authority.
Many believe this empire can only last as long as the military is able to control some crucial domestic and foreign policy areas, such as relations with India, Afghanistan and the West, or the political narrative and propagation of a particular type of patriotism at home.
For this, they say, the military has often raised and protected politicians who agree with its world view.
But politics has its own dynamics. Once leaders have entered the mainstream, they feel more compelled to increase economic and other opportunities for their voters. This has often forced successive Pakistani leaders to try to normalise relations with India and other neighbours in the region.
Nawaz Sharif started out as the protÃ©gÃ© of a military dictator, Gen Zia ul-Haq, back in the late 1970s, and played a major role in the military establishment's various plans to destroy the PPP party of the former prime minister, the late Benazir Bhutto.
That was also the period, according to the Supreme Court-led investigators, when his family wealth multiplied several times over.
The government of the PPP, a left-wing party, was believed in the late 1980s to have opened channels of communication with India and had helped Delhi subjugate a separatist movement in Indian Punjab, which had started during the Zia regime and was believed to have Pakistani support.
But by 1999, having emerged as a popular political leader himself, Mr Sharif followed the same path as Benazir - inviting the then Indian prime minister to Lahore, where they signed the famous Lahore Declaration.
Months later, the Pakistani military started the Kargil war with India, and soon afterwards Mr Sharif was overthrown in a coup.
In the 2013 elections, one of Mr Sharif's main slogans was to improve trade ties with India. Months after winning the election, his government was paralysed by a six-month blockade of the capital Islamabad by the new kid on the block, former cricketer Imran Khan.
Some who sided with Mr Khan during the 2014 blockade of Islamabad have publicly accused his party of receiving instructions from elements in the intelligence service.
Earlier, Mr Khan was accused by a respected social worker, the late Abdus Sattar Edhi, of conspiring with a former chief of the military intelligence agency, the ISI, to overthrow the government of Benazir Bhutto in the mid-1990s.
Edhi, who was approached to join the campaign and says he was threatened when he refused, had to leave the country for some time until the storm blew over.
Since 2013, Mr Sharif is seen to have conceded much policy space to the establishment over Pakistan's relations with India, but his woes have kept multiplying.
And Mr Khan's petition in the Supreme Court over the Panama Papers has finally pulled him down.


More than 100,000 people have signed a petition urging the Home Office not to deport a woman with kidney failure from the UK back to South Africa.

Irene Nel, 73, was visiting family in Bristol on a six-month tourist visa in 2012 when she was diagnosed.
Her daughter, who moved to the UK in 1999, has been fighting her deportation claiming she will die if sent back.
The Home Office said all applications were considered on individual merit in line with immigration rules.
Mrs Nel is currently being cared for by her daughter Desree Taylor, who is a British citizen.
She said her mother needs to have dialysis three times a week "to keep her alive", but a process was being put in place to deport her with just 72 hours' notice.
"She won't have dialysis in South Africa because over there - if you're over 60 - you don't qualify at all," she said.
"So she will go back and within two weeks, her consultant has said, she will pass away."
Mrs Nel has said she would "rather die than go back" and has appealed for six weeks' notice so she can stop dialysis.
"I love my country but I can't go back," she said.
"I've got no one there, all my kids are here and if I have to go back I might as well give up everything."
A Home Office spokesman said: "All cases are carefully considered on their individual merits, in line with the UK immigration rules."
The case echoes that of 92-year-old South African Myrtle Cothill who had her threat of deportation lifted after more than 150,000 people signed a petition for her to stay in Dorset with her daughter.


A 19-year-old man has been taken to hospital after falling between two buildings in Edinburgh.

Emergency services helped to recover the man, who is thought to have fallen about 20ft, from Hill Street Lane North at about 11:45 on Sunday.
He was taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for treatment. The extent of his injuries is not yet known.
Police Scotland said officers were continuing their inquiries into the full circumstances of the incident.


Infectious bacteria have for the first time been caught performing "biological alchemy" to transform parts of a host body into those more suited to their purposes, by a team in Edinburgh.

The study, in the journal Cell, showed leprosy-causing bacteria turning nerves into stem cells and muscle.
The authors said the "clever and sophisticated" technique could further therapies and stem-cell research.
Experts described the discovery as "amazing" and "exciting".
Alchemists may have failed to morph base metals into gold, but a team at the University of Edinburgh has shown that bacteria can transform parts of the body into something more valuable to them.
It is a feat that scientists have already achieved in the laboratory. Skin cells have been transformed into flexible stem cells that can become any of the body's building blocks from heart muscle to brain cells.
One of the researchers, Prof Anura Rambukkana, said: "Our body's cells can be manipulated and why would a bacterium not take advantage of that?"
Experiments on mice and cells grown in the laboratory showed the leprosy bug infected nerve cells. Then over a period of a few weeks the bacteria began to subvert the nerves for their own ends. The chemistry of the cells changed and they became stem cells.
These can grow and spread around the body, unlike the static nerves.
"This is a stem cell that is generated by the body's own tissue so the immune system does not recognise it and they can get any place they want without being attacked," said Prof Rambukkana.
Those cells could lodge inside muscle and become muscle cells.
"We realised, 'Wow, this is something very, very striking'.
"It's the first time a bacterial infection has been shown to make stem cells, that's the big thing here."
He hopes the findings will increase understanding of leprosy and lead to new ways of developing stem cells - which have been touted as future treatments for a range of diseases.
Prof Rambukkana also believes it is "probable" that other species of bacteria would have evolved the same ability to reprogramme their host.
Prof Chris Mason, a specialist in stem cell research at University College London, said: "The ability of bacteria to convert one mammalian cell type to another is 'alchemy' by nature on a grand scale.
"Whilst this amazing discovery is in a mouse model, it highlights the extraordinary complexity of the interactions between mammals and bacteria and the ingenuity of scientists to uncover disease mechanisms that a decade ago would have been beyond science fiction.
"The next essential step is to translate this valuable piece of knowledge into tangible benefits for patients - a process that may take a decade before its relevance to clinical medicine is fully understood."
Prof Diana Lockwood, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "Their finding that bacteria can reprogramme cells is very interesting and exciting."
However, she cautioned that there was "quite a gap between this and clinical leprosy and I don't think it's going to lead to new treatments".
Dr Rob Buckle, head of regenerative medicine at the Medical Research Council, said: "This discovery is important not just for our understanding and treatment of bacterial disease, but for the rapidly progressing field of regenerative medicine."


A man who stole 12 tea towels about 24 hours after he was granted bail has been jailed for two months.

Michael McNally, of Hillman Street in Belfast, was charged with stealing the cloths worth Â£78 from a souvenir shop in the city.
The court heard that McNally, 28, went into the Visit Belfast shop at 10:45 BST on Friday, lifted the items and left without offering payment.
McNally pleaded to the offence at Belfast Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
A defence solicitor told the court that shortly after McNally left the shop he was stopped by officers who spoke with him without any suspicions, but he told them: "I have stolen something - here you are."
The court was told that McNally had numerous convictions for theft and was in breach of a suspended sentence that had been imposed on 17 August for a similar matter.
The defence solicitor said McNally had stolen the tea towels "in an act of desperation" as he was hungry from sleeping rough the previous night.
The judge said he had granted McNally bail the day before the tea towel theft, and a condition of that bail was to stay away from the Visit Belfast shop.
He jailed McNally for two months and activated the suspended sentence to be served concurrently.


Russia has been sharply criticised by other world powers at the UN Security Council in New York over the chemical weapons deaths in northern Syria.

Moscow's suggestions that civilians were poisoned by rebel weapons on the ground have been widely rejected.
The UK's foreign secretary, a rebel commander and a weapons expert all said evidence pointed to an attack by the Syrian government, Russia's ally.
International donors have pledged $6bn (Â£4.8bn) in aid for Syria this year.
Seventy donor nations discussed aid efforts in the war-ravaged country in the Belgian capital, Brussels.
What we know
Could there be "no-fly" zones at last?
Images of dead children spread over social media
According to UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 20 children and 52 adults were killed in the chemical incident in Khan Sheikhoun, Idlib province, on Tuesday.
Footage following the incident shows civilians, many of them children, choking and foaming at the mouth.
Witnesses say clinics treating the injured were then targeted by air strikes.
Some of the victims were treated across the border in Turkey. One woman in hospital said: "We were affected by the gas. We couldn't stand up. I felt dizzy and sick. I suffer from shortness of breath. I couldn't breathe."
The World Health Organization said some of the victims had symptoms consistent with exposure to nerve agents.
A team from medical charity MSF treating victims in Idlib found patients' symptoms were "consistent with exposure to a neurotoxic agent such as sarin gas", the charity said in a statement.
Sonia Khush, Syria director of the charity Save the Children, said victims had travelled far and wide to get treatment, making it difficult to estimate how many had been affected.
The government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad denies its forces launched a chemical weapons attack.
Russia has acknowledged that Syrian planes did attack Khan Sheikhoun but says the aircraft struck a depot producing chemical weapons, for use by militants in Iraq.
"Yesterday [Tuesday], from 11:30am to 12:30pm local time, Syrian aviation made a strike on a large terrorist ammunition depot and a concentration of military hardware in the eastern outskirts of Khan Sheikhoun town," Russian defence ministry spokesman Igor Konoshenkov said.
"On the territory of the depot there were workshops which produced chemical warfare munitions."
Matthew Rycroft, the UK's ambassador to the UN, told the Security Council that Mr Assad had "humiliated" Russia by "making a mockery" of the peace process it had brokered with some rebel groups.
"What is your plan?" he asked. "What is your plan to stop these horrific senseless attacks? We had a plan and we had the support and you rejected it to protect Assad."
Russia and China have blocked attempts to impose sanctions on Syria.
Russia's deputy ambassador to the UN, Vladimir Safronkov, hit back by accusing the UK of being "obsessed" with overthrowing President Assad instead of seeking peace.
He said his country - which can veto any UN Security Council resolution - saw no need for a new resolution and called for a "full, objective" international investigation. Much of the video evidence of the attack had, he argued, been "staged".
The US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, said Syrian chemical attacks would continue if nothing was done.
"Time and time again Russia uses the same false narrative to deflect attention from their ally in Damascus," she said.
Hinting at possible unilateral action by the US, she added: "When the United Nations consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times in the life of states that we are compelled to take our own action."
French UN envoy Francois Delattre blamed the Assad government for the attack, accusing it of "destructive madness". He said the world needed an "America that is seriously committed to a solution in Syria".
Hasan Haj Ali, commander of the Free Idlib Army rebel group, told Reuters news agency: "Everyone saw the plane while it was bombing with gas."
Local journalists say there are no military positions in the town itself but an array of broadly aligned rebel groups controlling the area surrounding it.
Critics of the Russian statement say reports of the release of gas came hours before the times stated by Mr Konoshenkov.
Is Trump partly to blame?
US blames Assad over 'chemical attack'
A chemical weapons expert, Col Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, told the BBC that the Russian version of events was "pretty fanciful".
The idea that a nerve gas like Sarin could spread after a weapons manufacturing process had been bombed was "unsustainable", he added.
US President Donald Trump called the deaths a "terrible affront to humanity".
The Syrian government was accused by Western powers of firing rockets filled with Sarin at Ghouta.
President Assad denied the charge, blaming rebel fighters, but he did subsequently agree to destroy Syria's chemical arsenal.
Despite that, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has continued to document the use of toxic chemicals in attacks in Syria.
More than 250,000 people have been killed and, after more than six years, no political solution to the fighting is in sight.
Nearly five million Syrians have fled the country and more than six million are internally displaced, the UN says.
"This is the most complex and the most violent conflict in our times," EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said at the conference in Brussels.
Why is there a war in Syria?


A French museum has returned the head of a 7th Century Hindu statue to Cambodia 130 years after it was taken.

The statue, a representation of the Hindu gods Vishnu and Shiva, had its head taken in French colonial times.
It was returned by the Guimet Museum in Paris at Cambodia's request and reattached to the body on Thursday.
A Cambodian culture ministry spokesman said joining the head to the statue felt "like we are reconnecting the soul of our national heritage".
"According to our Khmer culture, the reunion is symbolic of prosperity," Deputy Prime Minister Sok An said at a ceremony in Cambodia's National Museum.
The complete statue had stood in the Phnom Da temple in southern Takeo province before its head was shipped to France in 1886.
Cambodia has not ruled out allowing France to display the complete statue, known as Harihara, in the future.
Over the past few years, Cambodia has sought to return artefacts taken by other countries without permission. In the past three years, several statues were sent back to Cambodia by US museums and a private collector in Norway.


A 49-year-old man has been arrested after a woman was stabbed in what police described as a "brutal and callous attack" in Glasgow.

The 55-year-old victim suffered serious injuries in the attack at the Dixon Blazes industrial estate in the Gorbals area at about 06:00 on Thursday.
She was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where her condition was said to be stable.
Police Scotland said a report would be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
The man is expected to appear in court on Monday.


Goalkeeper Gerard Doherty has been named as Derry City captain to succeed Ryan McBride who died last week.

Media playback is not supported on this device
After the postponement of their scheduled games against Limerick and Galway United, Derry are back in action at home to Bray Wanderers on Friday.
Prior to McBride's death, Derry won their opening four League of Ireland Premier Division matches.
The Candystripes are now second in the table, six points behind Cork City who have won their first six games.
Defender McBride was found dead at home on 19 March, a day after he led his side in a 4-0 League of Ireland win over Drogheda United.
The cause of death is not yet known but a post-mortem has been carried out.
Derry-born Doherty, 35, began his football career with the Candystripes in 1998.
He signed for Derby County a year later but after being unable to secure a first-team place with the English club, then had a successful six-year stint with Welsh Premier League team The New Saints which included playing in European ties against Manchester City and Liverpool.
Doherty returned to his hometown club in 2008 and his second spell with the Brandywell outfit has included a call-up to the Northern Ireland squad in 2011.
The 35-year-old has captained Derry on several previous occasions - including the latter stages of last season when McBride was ruled out by injury.
Derry boss Kenny Shiels says Doherty has "all the right qualities" needed for the captaincy.
"He manages the team [on the field] from the goal. He's a very, very good communicator. He knows the game and he's going to be a fantastic coach when he retires," added the Derry manager.
With a big home crowd certain to travel to Derry's temporary home venue in Buncrana for Friday's game, Shiels knows full well that it's going to be an "emotional" night and he accepts that the remainder of this season is going to be framed around the club's traumatic loss.
"The environment is going to be focused around Ryan and it's difficult to remove yourself from that.
"There are switches you turn off and switches you turn on mentally."
However, Shiels says that the Derry players have trained well this week after returning to their "natural habitat".
"The training ground was really good this week and we're still working on different things about Bray Wanderers and their potential," Shiels told BBC Northern Ireland on Wednesday afternoon.


Police have said a hay barn blaze in the Scottish Borders is being treated as suspicious.

Emergency services were called out at about 19:00 on Wednesday to Purveshaugh Farm near Earlston.
No people or livestock were harmed but the barn suffered "substantial damage" including the collapse of its roof.
Police want to hear from anyone who saw any activity near the barn around the time of the incident.
Insp Alistair Hutchens said: "This has been a substantial fire in an area that contains livestock and is well used by agricultural workers.
"We believe the fire to be suspicious and are asking for the public's help in tracing those responsible.
"I would ask that anyone who was in the area at the time and saw anything suspicious to please get in touch as soon as possible."

Former Ryder Cup captain and founding father of the European Tour John Jacobs has died aged 91.

Jacobs, from Yorkshire, competed in the Ryder Cup in 1955, before captaining the side twice, most notably in 1979 when European players competed for the first time.
But it was in his coaching career and role in establishing the European Tour that he will be best remembered for.
He served as the Tour's tournament director-general from 1971 to 1975.
"John's legacy to golf is well-documented," said Dr Kyle Phillpots, the PGA's executive director.
"In addition to his accomplishments as a player, coach and administrator, he is the person who made the European Tour happen and he is widely acknowledged as the father of modern golf coaching."
Iain Carter, BBC golf correspondent
John Jacobs was one of professional golf's most influential figures, having enjoyed a successful but relatively modest playing career.
He played in the 1955 Ryder Cup and won a handful of tournaments, but was renowned for being a visionary coach and administrator. The Yorkshireman was the founding father of the European Tour, using his coaching contacts to attract players and take the game to the continent.
He became tournament director general and paved the way for Ken Schofield to take over the running of the Tour. Jacobs twice captained European Ryder Cup teams in 1979 and 1981.


Quadcopter drones have been programmed to build a rope bridge capable of supporting the weight of a human.

22 September 2015 Last updated at 14:14 BST
The project was the result of a joint study by two researchers - one specialising in robotics, the other architecture - at ETH Zurich University's Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control and Gramazio Kohler Research.
They hope the technology could eventually be used to save lives.


People have been using Your Questions to ask us what they want to know about the West Midlands.

You wanted to know if the Staffordshire delicacy oatcakes could be bought as a gluten free option.
You asked us why Warwickshire County Cricket club played at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
And you wanted to know who the candidates for the West Midlands 'metro mayor' are. Here is how we got on with answering your questions.
These local delicacies are not available universally - both Staffordshire Oatcakes and High Lane Oatcakes say they do not sell them.
But of the firms we asked, Povey Oatcakes say they do sell them and get a fair interest in having them sent across the UK.
And Weston Coyney Oatcakes sell them too, with owner Ian Hammersley telling me they "sell out as soon as they bake them".
He added that they do take longer to bake and need more care when cooking but he has also sent them - or a dry mix to make them - all over the UK.
Despite playing in Birmingham, the links with Warwickshire go way back to the club's foundation in Leamington Spa in 1882.
According to the ground's website, Warwickshire had considered Rugby and Leamington Spa for their headquarters but then club secretary William Ansell believed that Birmingham's large population and rail connections made a city-base more preferable.
The Birmingham links do not always go down well with the fans however, with many of them unhappy with the decision, in 2013, to change the name of their T20 side to the Birmingham Bears.
And now details of a new city-based T20 competition have been revealed, which could stretch county links even further.
On 4 May 2017, voters in the West Midlands will choose their first 'metro mayor'.
It is part of the devolution deal that takes decision-making from Westminster to our region, on important issues such as housing and transport.
James Burn will represent the Green Party; Peter Durnell the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and Andy Street the Conservative Party.
Beverley Anne Nielsen is the Liberal Democrats candidate and Sion Llewelyn Simon will stand for the Labour and Co-operative Party for the 4 May election.
Graham John Stevenson, a Communist candidate, is also to stand.
The metro mayor will represent Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall, and Wolverhampton.
This week we are inviting you to use the form below to send us your questions about the new role of the West Midlands 'metro mayor'.


Joan Marie Johnson - co-founder of New Orleans pop trio The Dixie Cups, who recorded such classics as Chapel of Love and Iko Iko - has died aged 72.

The band famously knocked the Beatles' Love Me Do off the number one spot in the US with Chapel of Love in 1964.
Co-written by Phil Spector, the Dixie Cups' first single went on to sell a million copies.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later included it in a list of 500 Songs said to have "shaped rock and roll".
The Dixie Cups were formed in New Orleans when Johnson invited Barbara Ann Hawkins to sing with her in a high school talent show.
"I was on my way to the grocery store and she stopped me and said, 'I heard you sing,'" Hawkins recalled.
Barbara Ann's sister, Rosa Lee Hawkins, soon joined them. The three later discovered they were cousins.
The trio was almost known as the Meltones or Little Miss and the Muffets
But they settled on the Dixie Cups name in 1964 after being discovered by producer and singer Joe Jones.
Jones took them to New York where they recorded Chapel of Love, written by Spector, Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich.
The band came up with the song's unique vocal arrangement on the spot.
"When Ellie and Jeff first played Chapel for us, we looked at each other, like, 'You really want us to sing that like that?'" Hawkins told Rolling Stone.
"They said, 'Well, how do you want to sing it?' So I said, 'Give us a minute.'
"We went in the corner and started singing. We walked back to them and when we sang it the way it was recorded, they were just, 'Wow! That was awesome.'"
The song peaked at number 22 in the UK and was later covered by the Beach Boys.
The Dixie Cups released further successful records in 1964 and 1965, including You Should Have Seen the Way He Looked at Me, Little Bell and a cover of the New Orleans standard, Iko Iko.
But when their record label went out of business, the band's recording career effectively ended.
Johnson quit soon after citing management and health concerns, having suffered with sickle cell anaemia.
"Because it was the early sixties, we went through a lot as far as race and a whole lot of other things," Hawkins said.
"We had a manager who wasn't really in our corner, but there were a lot of good times."
Johnson occasionally rejoined the band for performances, including one at the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
She died of congestive heart failure in a New Orleans hospice on 3 October.
The singer is survived by a sister, Ida, and a brother, Howard. A memorial is planned in New Orleans next week.
"The world has lost a classy lady, who had a magnificent sense of humour, a radiating smile, and was truly one of the best people we know," wrote the Dixie Cups on their website.

The operating unit of the largest US casino company, Caesars Entertainment, has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in an attempt to eliminate $10bn (Â£6.6bn) of debt.

The unit is filing for court protection from its creditors.
It aims to bring debt down to $8.6bn and is working to persuade a judge to approve its restructuring plans.
The company's total debt of $18bn comes from the purchase of Harrah's Entertainment in 2006.
It said that its casino-hotels would continue to operate as normal.
Gary Loveman, chief executive at Caesars, said in a statement: `I am very confident in the future prospects of our enterprise, which will combine an improved capital structure with a network of profitable properties."
The operating arm owns or manages 44 casinos and resorts in the United States. Its collection includes the Caesar's Palace in the Las Vegas Strip.
The parent company, Caesars Entertainment, employs around 68,000 people worldwide at more than 50 casino-hotels.


Day release from prison is to be scaled back following a series of serious crimes committed by offenders temporarily out of jail.

Tighter rules about who is eligible for the scheme are to be introduced, the Ministry of Justice said.
Prisoners will only be allowed out for a specific purpose, such as work experience, and day-release prisoners will also have to wear electronic tags.
Campaigners criticised the move, saying there had been only a few failures.
But the MoJ cited several of the cases in which there had been serious failings as being behind the move.
They include that of Ian McLoughlin, who was convicted of murdering Graham Buck in the village of Little Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, last July, while on day release.
McLoughlin, who had killed twice before, was sentenced to a whole-life order.
Another incident, which led to an offender being convicted of attempted robbery, also prompted the change, the department said.
Prisons minister Jeremy Wright said: "We're not prepared to see the failures of last summer repeated and public safety compromised.
"Temporary release can be an important tool in helping offenders reintegrate but it should not be an automatic right and we must do all we can to ensure it does not lead to a permanent blight on innocent members of society.
"The system has been too lax up to now and that must change.
"In future when prisoners are let out on licence I want to be sure they are tagged and strictly risk-assessed so we know where they have been and can be sure that they have been tested in the community under strict conditions before being released."
The MoJ said that, from now on, prisoners eligible for release on temporary licence would have to earn it by demonstrating the "right behaviour and a commitment to change".
It will no longer be considered an automatic right which is given when inmates are deemed suitable for open conditions.
There will also be a more thorough assessment of risks before temporary release is authorised.
For prisoners with a history of serious crimes, there will be a new "restricted" level where they will undergo stringent risk assessments by probation and other professionals.
Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust, said: "For a government committed to rehabilitation, justice ministers should feel ashamed that only a quarter of men, and fewer than one in 10 women, leave prison with a job to go to, and proud that their well-established release on temporary licence programme has worked over years to help thousands of prisoners go straight on release.
"Now, in the face of a thankfully few terrible cases, and for the sake of a tough headline, they risk destroying a programme that has proved its worth instead of investigating its few failures and learning from its many successes."


Danny Alexander has claimed he heard a senior Tory tell a Lib Dem colleague: "You take care of the workers and we'll take care of the bosses."

Mr Alexander, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, made the claim in the Independent and later told BBC Radio 4 it was "accurate" - but would not reveal who made the remark.
He told the newspaper it happened during a 2012 meeting on the Budget.
Culture Secretary Sajid Javid denied the claim, saying: "No-one said it."
"If they think someone said it... they should come clean and say who said it. The reality is no-one said it so the only conclusion is that they must be making this up," he told Radio 4's World at One.
Responding on the same programme, Mr Alexander said: "I've said what I've said. It is an accurate reflection of a comment that was made."

For months, if not years, the two coalition partners, the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, have talked up the lists they were each keeping of what they saw as the bonkers ideas they had stopped the other lot doing, or their brilliant schemes the other side had thwarted.
David Cameron called it his "little black book".
Today, senior Lib Dem Danny Alexander appears to be trying to cash in one of his.
His reporting of a private conversation is potent because it plays at the prejudice about the Tories they are most scared of - being seen as the party of the rich.
But his suggestion is hugely weakened by having no proof of the conversation and not being willing to name which Conservative said what he accuses them of. It means the Tories can accuse him of making it up, something he insists he isn't.
The 2012 Budget - the coalition's third - contained an announcement on increasing the personal allowance to Â£9,205 in April 2013.
Mr Alexander told the newspaper David Cameron and George Osborne were guilty of "breathtaking hypocrisy" for claiming credit for this increase, which the Lib Dems say they had to force Tory ministers to accept.
"In March 2012 when the economy was still in the very early stages of recovery we wanted to do a very big increase in the personal allowance to put a lot of money back into folk's pockets," he said.
"The Tories' priority at the time was the top rate of tax.
"I remember one meeting with a group of senior Conservatives and one of them - I'm not going to say who - said 'Listen, you take care of the workers and we'll take care of the bosses'.
"That was said across the table in one of the meetings where we were discussing the forward policy of the government. That really spelt out where their priorities lay."
Pushed on the claim on Radio 4, Mr Alexander insisted he would not reveal who had made the remark but said he was using it to make a wider point about the "very different" attitudes between the Lib Dems and the Tories.
When told Downing Street had dismissed the claims, he said: "They can say what they like.
"I remember what was said and I remember the nervous laughter from the other side of the table when it was said."
Mr Javid said it was "always, absolutely" a Conservative plan to raise the income tax threshold - even though David Cameron said during the leadership debates in 2010 that it couldn't be done.
But Mr Alexander said it was "extraordinary" Mr Javid had claimed it was always Tory policy to raise the threshold when they did not put it in their manifesto.
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg earlier said of the remark: "Of course I believe Danny - I remember him vividly telling me that."


Non-native Burmese pythons are the likely cause of a staggering mammal decline in Florida's Everglades.

In PNAS journal, scientists report that observations of some mammal species have declined by more than 99%.
A team studied road surveys of mammals in the Everglades National Park before and after pythons became common.
The researchers found a strong link between the spread of pythons and drops in recorded sightings of racoons, rabbits, bobcats and other species.
The national park covers the southern 25% of the original Everglades - a region of subtropical wetlands that has been drained over the last century to reclaim it for human use.
The origins of Burmese pythons in south Florida are unknown, but many were imported into the US through the pet trade.
As the pythons have made it from captivity into the wild, the absence of natural predators has allowed populations to balloon. Intermittent sightings were recorded for 20 years before the snakes were recognised as being established across the Everglades in 2000.
The pythons are now found across thousands of sq km in southern Florida. Although there are no accurate figures for how many there are, the numbers removed from the Everglades reached nearly 400 in 2009 and this has been increasing year-on-year (apart from a slight drop in 2010 due to a cold spell).
"Any snake population - you are only seeing a small fraction of the numbers that are actually out there," said Prof Michael Dorcas, one of the study's authors, from Davidson College in North Carolina.
He told BBC News: "They are a new top predator in Everglades National Park - one that shouldn't be there."
"We have documented pythons eating alligators, we have also documented alligators eating pythons. It depends on who is biggest during the encounter."
Earlier this month, US Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced that the US was poised toapprove a ban on importingBurmese pythons. But some observers remarked that the move was about 30 years too late.
Prof Dorcas and his colleagues looked at data on mammals found during roadkill surveys from 1993-1999, and on live and dead mammals encountered during nighttime road surveys from 1996-1997.
They then compared these results with similar data collected between 2003 and 2011, after the pythons were recognised as being established.
They found that observations of raccoons and opossums had dropped by about 99%. There had been a 94.1% fall in observations of white-tailed deer and an 87.5% decrease in sightings of bobcats.
No rabbits or foxes were seen during the more recent survey; rabbits were among the most common mammals in the roadkill survey between 1993 and 1999.
The majority of these species have been documented in the diet of pythons found in the Everglades National Park. Indeed, raccoons and oppossums often forage at the water's edge, where they are vulnerable to ambush by pythons.
Observations of rodents, coyotes and Florida panthers had increased slightly, but the overall number of sightings remained low.
The researchers also found that the declines in mammals coincided geographically with the spread of Burmese pythons. Mammal species are more common in areas where pythons have only been recently introduced, and are most abundant outside the snakes' current range.
Prof Dorcas said more research was needed to assess the impact of such large declines. But he added: "It's not unreasonable to assume that any time we have major declines in mammals like this it's going to have overall impacts on the ecosystem. Exactly what those are going to be, we don't know. But it's possible they could be fairly profound."
The ban on importing Burmese pythons has come after five years of debate and lobbying in Washington DC. Florida's Democrat Senator Bill Nelson was among those who campaigned for a ban, unravelling the skin of a 5m-long Everglades python at a 2009 Senate hearing to make his point.
But reptile breeders and collectors had disputed that the tropical snakes posed much risk beyond south Florida and argued that any ban would harm a multi-million dollar industry.
Although the ban will not reverse the situation in southern Florida, where the reptiles are already established, Prof Dorcas said it could help prevent their spread to other suitable habitats in the US, such as southern Louisiana and south Texas.

Eastleigh won for a third league game in a row as Sam Matthews netted a brace of eye-catching goals against Torquay.

Bournemouth loanee midfielder Matthews started and finished the scoring for the visitors in an eventful game.
Ayo Obileye grabbed the Spitfires' other goal shortly after Luke Young had levelled straight from a corner for Torquay early in the second half.
Shaun Harrad's strike at 2-2 looked to have grabbed the Gulls a point before Matthews won in for Eastleigh.


The falling value of bitcoins have made them much less attractive to cyber-thieves, claims a security expert.

The anonymity of the virtual cash has made it a favourite with thieves who blackmail victims with viruses.
Now hi-tech gangs quickly convert payments into other currencies, said IBM security expert Etay Maor in an interview with The Register.
One bitcoin is now worth Â£155, much lower than the Â£728 value it hit in late 2013.
Scrambling data with malicious programs known as ransomware - which demand payment from victims to decrypt data - has been popular with some hi-tech criminals over the past few years. The gang behind the notorious cryptolocker program is believed to have made about Â£2m from victims before it was broken up.
Bitcoins have been the preferred payment method, said Mr Maor, but the volatility of the currency and its falling value has forced criminals to convert it into other forms of cash as soon as possible.
"Most of them won't keep bitcoins - they don't like the valuations bitcoin has - so they just use it as a layer of obfuscation, and move it to a different form of money," Mr Maor told The Register during an interview at the RSA security conference in San Francisco.
Many ransomware gangs use people not directly connected with the gang, known as mules, to clean up the cash by paying it into a legitimate bank account. Mules generally get a 20% cut as a fee.
Police forces and computer security firms have scored some successes against ransomware gangs. Computers involved in the cryptolocker malware were seized and the encryption system for the program broken so victims could get their data back without paying any cash.
In addition, Dutch police have worked with security firm Kaspersky Labs to analyse a server seized during an operation against the coinvault ransomware. This led to the creation of a program that can decrypt scrambled data. The firm has also retrieved lots of encryption keys that can be used to unscramble data.


Almost every weekend, somewhere in the world, Star Wars fans don Jedi robes or put their hair in buns to head to a sci-fi convention.

As well as allowing devotees to indulge in their love of everything Star Wars, it also means jobbing actors who had parts in the original films are now more famous than ever among fans.
Speaking at the recent For the Love of the Force convention in Manchester, some of them spoke about life on the booming convention circuit and how the enduring appeal of Star Wars has provided an unexpected new career.
Dave Prowse is disconcertingly cheerful for the man who was inside Darth Vader's suit as overawed fans queue to tell him how thrilled they are to meet him. They happily pay Â£20 for his autograph - twice as much as the lesser cast members in the room.
"Every weekend I'm somewhere different in the world," he says. "I've got shows lined up in America, all over the continent - you name it, I'm going there.
"I'm more than happy to be recognised as being the ultimate screen villain of all time. I think it's a wonderful accolade to have. When I did the film, I never thought for one moment that it would snowball into what it has."
Prowse may have been inside the famous black suit, but his West Country accent was deemed unsuitable for the evil overlord and replaced by the voice of James Earl Jones.
Prowse puts the franchise's success down to its "very interesting characters" - one in particular.
"When you talk about Star Wars, you don't think about Harrison Ford, you don't think about Carrie Fisher, you don't think about Mark Hamill. All you think about is Darth Vader," he says.
"And being the actor who played Darth Vader, and doing nothing else but travelling around the world promoting Darth Vader, is absolutely wonderful for me."
At the end of Star Wars: A New Hope, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker are presented with the Medal of Bravery after the rebel victory over the Empire. In the background, carrying Solo's medal, is Nick Joseph.
Now, he travels to conventions selling plastic replica medals. "You meet fans you've met before, you meet new fans, it's absolutely great," he says.
Joseph has also had parts in Doctor Who, Blake's 7 and EastEnders and has done a total of 17 conventions this year, with events in Florida and Mississippi already booked for 2016.
Does he still act? No, he replies - he is too busy doing conventions.
When Obi-Wan Kenobi, played by Sir Alec Guinness, used the Force to trick a Sandtrooper into saying "These aren't the droids we're looking for" in the original film, Anthony Forrest was inside that Sandtrooper's suit.
"I'd done a film just before that called The Eagle Has Landed," he says. "That was the same casting director and that was how I was called in to meet George Lucas."
Forrest is also a writer, composer and director and says the Star Wars connection is "a double-edged sword".
"You do the work and then all of a sudden you're part of something that's so successful," he says. "That's great because you've had that involvement but sometimes it gets hard to separate you as an artist from the work because you get known for the work.
"I think Alec Guinness had that - he'd done so many wonderful roles but in the general audience's mind they were remembering him as Obi-Wan Kenobi. That's the nature of the beast.
"It's nice to be part of something so successful but at the same time it has that backlash to it as well."
"I was an Ewok."
As claims to fame go, this one from Michael Henbury is hard to beat.
Henbury, who is 2ft 11in,  was working for UK Customs and Excise in the mid-1970s. "One of my colleagues saw an advert in one of the national papers asking for little people to go for it," he says.
"They rang up without me knowing and then the production team rang me at work. I thought it was a bit of a wind-up, but it wasn't and that's how it started.
"Once I'd done Return of the Jedi, I got an agent, which led to me doing roles in Willow, Labyrinth, and Deathly Hallows in the Harry Potter series."
He was booked for almost 20 conventions this year "with the help of Facebook" he says. "I love going around other parts of the country, meeting people, talking about my little stories and it's nice to see smiling faces and happy voices."
"I've done 32 events this year," Pam Rose explains. "I've already got 15 for next year and two for 2017. People are asking me to do shows and I say 'You have to book me early - two years in advance!'"
Rose played Leesub Sirln, an alien in the Cantina scene in the original Star Wars film.
"I was a girl called Weird Girl originally, then it was changed to Leesub Sirin and then to Leesub Sirln when my action figure came out," she says, wielding her own plastic replica, still in its box. "I think basically the Chinese spelt it wrong.
"I was filming for five days and I was quite lucky because I got two days' overtime just for the make-up, which took three hours a day."
Rose says she loves going to conventions to meet fans young and old. "You've got the older generation bringing their children and they're bringing their grandchildren into it," she says. "Doing the events is not like a job. It's a second life, really, for me."
"Sometimes I can be working two different conventions in two different countries in a weekend," says Alan Flyng, who is appearing in both France and Spain this week to mark the release of the new Star Wars film.
Flyng was employed on The Empire Strikes Back as a "utility" actor. "I was a stunt Stormtrooper, a Snowtrooper, Hoth rebel, a Hoth technician and anything else I was told to dress up and do," he says.
The actor particularly remembers one scene being filmed six metres off the ground, with access from only one staircase. "As usual the camera crew blocked [it] with all their magazines and lens boxes.
"So those of us who were in costume had to access the set by a double extension ladder, wearing everything including the helmets.
"It all became very dangerous because one guy did actually walk off the edge of the set when the camera operator told him to take two steps to the right, which he did."
Flyng says he gets "far more" convention invitations than he can take up. He says: "If I do a small club show I can actually sell more photographs than I can at a huge convention. At a huge convention like this you might have 25 signers. At a club show it might be just me."
"I played a Stormtrooper," recalls Laurie Goode. "Then after that I managed to get into the costume of a monster called a Saurin and I was also an X-wing pilot. But that was a fleeting appearance."
Goode pulled on the tight-fitting Saurin costume for the Cantina scene after the actress who it was originally meant for fell ill.
"The head was quite tight," he says. "I think it was originally designed for a woman and it was all very tight fitting. But she cried off sick and they wanted someone to take the place.
"They said 'If you can fit into the suit, you can come back next week'. I said 'OK, I'll give it a go' and I just about managed to fit into it."
Goode says he does conventions to "have a good laugh and meet all my old chums". He adds: "I'm actually enjoying it more and more because [interest] seems to be becoming greater with every year that passes.
"I'd like to have done something on the new film but it wasn't to be. I did make enquiries, but I think the whole regime's new now."
"When we did Star Wars, it was just a job," says Peter Roy. "When we did the first one it was so successful they decided to do the second one.
"In A New Hope I was a rebel engineer and I got promoted all the way through to become Major Orlando Brit in Return of the Jedi. I got promoted in the three episodes."
Roy says he only got the original part because he was the right size for the costume. "I got the audition after I did the fitting. I had to do the fitting first," he says.
"I always say I only got the job because the costume fitted. It was a job. I only did it for the money. Anybody could have done what I did. I was just lucky."
Roy says he has done about a dozen conventions in the UK this year, as well as others overseas. "It's getting very popular in Canada and America, Malta of all places, Spain and in Germany it goes mad.
"I also do Doctor Who [conventions] because I did 18 episodes of Doctor Who. They seem to be more interested in Doctor Who in Switzerland and Germany than they are in Star Wars."


Picture the scene - you're in one of Britain's busiest stations waiting for your train and all of a sudden, people around you begin to freeze, just like a statue.

Well this really happened at Waterloo station in London.
It's called a frozen flash mob and saw loads of people meeting up at the station and standing completely still at the same time.
And it surprised members of the public who knew nothing about it!

Edinburgh Airport has recorded the busiest ever March for a Scottish airport with more than 956,000 passengers using the terminal.

The total was up 4.1% on the same month last year with international passenger numbers "particularly strong".
Glasgow Airport also reported its busiest March on record after more than 700,000 passengers took flights.
Aberdeen International Airport saw an increase in numbers as well, with 247,000 passengers.
Gordon Dewar, Edinburgh Airport's Chief Executive, said: "March's passenger figures underline Edinburgh Airport's growing international ambitions and ongoing demand to fly to and from this great city.
"We have seen another solid increase in the number of international passengers which highlights the ever-increasing draw of Edinburgh as a global destination.
"An increase in visitors to the city stimulates the economy, creates new jobs and offers direct international links for all of Scotland.
"As we move into the final few weeks of our public consultation on airspace change I would urge everyone in our neighbouring communities with a view on our preferred flightpath options to respond before our consultation closes on 7 May."
Glasgow Airport saw a 7% increase in passengers on the same period last year.
The airport said demand for EU destinations increased by 20.5% with services to Paris, Valencia, Lisbon and Berlin all performing well.
Long haul carriers Emirates and Virgin Atlantic, which has increased capacity on its Orlando service, both saw an uplift in passenger numbers. This contributed to an overall increase in international traffic of 13.7%.
Domestic traffic grew by 1.4% with British Airways, easyJet and Flybe all reporting an increase in demand for their London and UK regional services.
Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport said: "Our performance during the first quarter of 2017 has ensured we've made our busiest-ever start to any year.
"Our continued growth is a direct result of our efforts in securing new routes and services for our passengers.
"We have succeeded in significantly strengthening our European connectivity since the start of 2016 and later this year we will launch direct flights to Madrid, Frankfurt and Krakow."
Aberdeen International Airport's figures represented an increase of 1% compared to the same period last year.
There was a 4.3% increase in international traffic and the total number of domestic passengers increased by 2.4%. Helicopter traffic was down 11%.
In recent months the airport saw the return of Ryanair, which introduced direct flights to Malaga and Alicante, and March saw the launch of Flybe's new Heathrow service.
The airline will operate three daily flights to what is the UK's only hub airport. Latvian airline AirBaltic will launch direct flights to Riga in May.
Carol Benzie, managing director of Aberdeen International Airport, said: "We have taken a great deal of encouragement from our performance over the past three months.
"It was apparent at the end of 2016 that the decline was slowing and whilst it is great to see our passenger figures for March return to growth we are still operating in what remains an extremely challenging marketplace."


Residents of a town in the Netherlands are putting their umbrellas up - not to guard themselves against the rain, but against an owl on the loose!

A European eagle owl has already injured dozens of residents of Purmerend, a town 10 miles from the country's capital city Amsterdam.
They're being told to stay safe and are defending themselves with umbrellas.
The bird is one of the largest owl species, with wings stretching 1.8 metres across.
But in the Netherlands this is a protected bird, so the town of Purmerend needs special permission to catch it.
One owl expert says the bird's behaviour is unusual and it might be because it is the start of the breeding season.


Jenson Button says it was a "bit of a struggle to find my feet" during his first day back in a Formula 1 car on his one-off appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix.

The 2009 world champion is standing in for McLaren's Fernando Alonso as the Spaniard races in the Indianapolis 500.
The 37-year-old Briton, who retired at the end of last season, was 12th quickest in Thursday's practice.
However, he said it was "fun" and "a privilege" to driving an F1 car again.
Button, a winner in Monaco eight years ago, admitted it was taking time to get used to the extra speed of the 2017 cars following rule changes that have made them faster and more demanding.
"It is very different to last year in terms of how late you can brake," said Button, who was one place behind and just 0.035 seconds slower than team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne.
"I'm braking for corners and just feel I'm going to be in the barriers.
"It's strange initially but I'm getting to grips with it. High speed (corners) are so much fun - so much fun. The first part of the Swimming Pool is flat (out on the throttle). I can't remember the last time it was flat. Probably hasn't ever been for me.
"Turn Three heading into Casino is a lot of fun as well. But there are braking areas where I have a lot of work still to do, to get confidence, to brake hard.
"It is the old beginner's thing in F1 - where you brake early, lift off early, turn in too early, accelerate too early and understeer off.
"There is a lot to come and hopefully I can sort myself out on Saturday morning after I have been through all the data."
Button said he had "had a little smile" to himself when he headed out for his first lap in Monaco on Thursday.
"It's a lovely experience to drive these cars," he said. "Have I missed it? No. But when you jump in the car you definitely enjoy the moment you have. I have enjoyed practice, but FP2 was a bit of a struggle to really find my feet with the car because there is a lot of grip with the ultra-soft tyres.
"But I am definitely getting there and I am confident I can improve for Saturday."


A cyclist who knocked over and killed a woman posted on online forums the crash was "her fault", the Old Bailey heard.

Charlie Alliston, of Trothy Road, Bermondsey, was 18 when he allegedly hit Kim Briggs while going 20mph in central London in February 2016.
Mrs Briggs, 44, suffered brain injuries, including two skull fractures and died in hospital days later.
In what is believed to be a legal first, Mr Alliston, now 20, is on trial for manslaughter, which he denies.
He also denies causing bodily harm by wanton or furious driving.
HR consultant Mrs Briggs, of Lewisham, south London, had been on her lunch break when the crash happened.
The jury heard Alliston had been riding a "fixie" - a fixed wheel track bicycle with no front brake used by track racing cyclists - which is not legal on the road without modification.
A few days after the incident in Old Street, Shoreditch, Mr Alliston posted a comment online, claiming he had tried to warn Mrs Briggs but that she had "ignored me" and "stopped dead" in his path, the court heard.
The jury was told he wrote: "I feel bad due to the seriousness of her injuries but I can put my hand up and say this is not my fault."
On the forum he described how their heads collided and hers "ricocheted" into his, the trial heard.
He wrote: "It is a pretty serious incident so I won't bother saying she deserved it. It was her fault but she did not deserve it."
He went on to claim in the forum Mrs Briggs had been on her mobile phone at the time of the incident, the court heard.
Jurors at the Old Bailey were shown CCTV footage of the collision on 12 February and were told the defendant had been riding a black PlanetX carbon frame fixed rear pedal cycle.
That type of bike is more commonly seen racing at the Olympic velodrome, jurors were told.
If Mr Alliston had been riding a bike with proper brakes, he would have been able to avoid the collision with Mrs Briggs, prosecutor Duncan Penny QC said.
The trial continues.


A UKIP MP caused confusion on Twitter telling followers: "Come play Hello Kitty World with me".

Clacton MP Douglas Carswell's message, apparently posted by his young daughter, went to his 28,000 followers and was retweeted hundreds of times.
An hour later, a further tweet stated: "That's the last time I leave the five year old in charge of the iPad".
Respondents included the Conservatives - his former party - which replied "No thanks" to the offer.
His initial tweet - which included a screenshot of the game - prompted replies from other users of the social network, questioning why he had posted the message or whether his account had been hacked.
Mr Carswell later responded to political blogger Guido Fawkes, confirming the first message had been posted by his child.
The original tweet has not been removed from the social network.
Last year, a similar message was posted from Mr Carswell's Twitter account, also inviting his followers to play Hello Kitty World.


The UK film industry needs more diversity to prevent a skills shortage, says a report backed by Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy and James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli.

The British Film Institute's (BFI) report says the industry has a "pandemic lack of inclusion".
It also says the UK needs 10,000 people over the next five years to maintain its position in world film production.
Women earn Â£3,000 less than men on average, the report added.
It also says 40% of the UK's film workforce is made up of female employees.
Compiled by the Work Foundation for the BFI, the research estimates there will be 30,000 job opportunities coming up in the UK's film business over the next five years, which the BFI says is worth Â£4.3bn to the economy.
Ms Broccoli said: "We live in a diverse society and it is vital both culturally and commercially that our industry reflects this in front of and behind the camera."
Ms Broccoli, who chairs the UK Film Skills Task Force, attended the House of Commons on Wednesday with Culture Secretary Karen Bradley, BFI chair Josh Berger and BFI CEO Amanda Nevill, to launch a 10-point skills plan.
The culture secretary said the UK film industry is "one of our biggest success stories" and that there was a need "to nurture and foster the next generation of talent".
She said the skills plan "will be instrumental in helping to deliver this, as well as making sure that the films in the UK are truly representative of the UK's diverse society".
Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, which produces the Star Wars films, said: "More points of view, more perspectives, and more voices will only make films better".
The report says the UK's film workforce includes 12% of people from less advantaged socio-economic backgrounds, and that five per cent have a disability.
Three per cent of the production and post-production workforce are from a black, Asian and minority ethnic background.
The research cites a culture of nepotism, unpaid work experience and a lack of appropriate training as being reasons why people are prevented from entering the industry.
There are even bigger problems for minority groups, the report's authors say.
Thousands of people study for film-related qualifications, but not enough train for required positions, they add, which is leading to skills shortages in nearly 40 types of positions, such as first assistant directors, costume designers, carpenters, production accountants and 3D model makers.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts in the United States faced criticism in 2015 when all 20 contenders in the main Oscar acting categories were white, and there were no female nominees in the directing or writing categories.
This led to academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs saying the organisation was "committed to seeking out diversity of voice and opinion''.


Police in Los Angeles have confirmed reality TV star Bruce Jenner has been involved in a car crash in which one woman died.

Jenner himself wasn't hurt, but seven others were taken to hospital.
A woman in her seventies was pronounced dead at the scene on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.
An LA police spokesman said there was no indication that Jenner, the stepfather of Kim Kardashian, was being chased by nearby paparazzi.
Jenner's publicist, Alan Nierob, said the 65-year-old wasn't hurt.
Sergeant Philip Brooks, from the Los Angeles County sheriff department, said Bruce Jenner's Cadillac Escalade went into the back of a Lexus sedan, which had just struck the back of a Toyota Prius.
The Lexus then veered into oncoming traffic in another lane and collided with a black Hummer.
Police said Jenner cooperated with investigators at the scene and passed a sobriety test.
He also offered a blood sample.
Jenner won a gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympics but is more widely known to many for his appearance on reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

A fleet of tall ships headed out to sea from a Northumberland port as part of a four-day regatta.

More than 20 of some of the finest vessels in the world have been on show in Blyth since Friday, attracting tens of thousands of visitors.
Nineteen of the ships took part in a parade of sail as part of the North Sea Tall Ships Regatta.
The event will end with a race from the Northumberland coast to Gothenburg, Sweden.
Northumberland County Council, which jointly organised the regatta, hailed it as a success and said it hoped it would open the door to similar events.
The event attracted ships from as far afield as Portugal and Russia to take part in the 500-nautical mile race across the North Sea to Sweden.
Councillor Grant Davey, leader of the county council, said he hoped it would put Blyth on the map for future events.
He said: "We'll move on to bigger and better things in the future."


A yellow "be aware" warning for rain has been issued for Wales, with heavy downpours predicted.

The Met Office said the rain would be slow-moving and intense in some regions, with up to 15mm (0.5in) or more falling in less than an hour.
It warned the heavy showers could cause temporary surface water flooding, leading to travel disruption.
The warning is in place from 12.30 BST to 23:59 Tuesday.


Sam Slocombe's penalty save helped preserve a 0-0 draw for Blackpool at Cambridge.

Slocombe denied U's top scorer Luke Berry 14 minutes from time, diving to his right to repel the spot-kick after Tom Aldred had been shown a straight red card for pulling back Conor Newton as he ran through.
The visiting stopper had twice denied George Maris in the first half, after defender Leon Legge had seen a header kept out by the post inside the first 10 minutes.
Blackpool could have taken the lead 13 minutes before the interval when Mark Cullen diverted Brad Potts' shot and forced Will Norris into a save, with the rebound hitting Cullen and going over the bar.
Norris twice saved from full-back Andy Taylor as Blackpool threatened before the red card, and the 10 men could even have stolen the win late on, but Brad Potts fired over when a loose ball fell to him inside the box.
Slocombe was called into more action late on, tipping over a James Dunne piledriver and keeping out a Berry free-kick.

A million minutes of video will cross the net every second in 2018, a study suggests.

Compiled by hardware maker Cisco, it estimates global net traffic will triple within five years to a total of 131 exabytes of data per month.
More people watching higher quality video would drive the huge increase, it said in its annual data report.
About 79% of all data in 2018 would be video compared with only 66% at the end of 2013, it said.
It would take an individual about five million years to watch the vast amount of video clips, films, and documentaries crossing global networks every month in 2018, Cisco said in its report.
One exabyte is equal to nearly 1.1 billion gigabytes and represents a vast amount of information. By way of comparison, a study carried out by the University of California, Berkeley estimates that all the words ever spoken by humans amount to about five exabytes of information.
The huge amount of data being seen and sent means that for the first time the annual total of data travelling over the net will exceed one zettabyte, according to Cisco.
"Today, we are firmly in the zettabyte era and witnessing incredible innovations and shifts in the industry," said Doug Webster, a spokesman for Cisco, in a statement.
By 2018, more than half of all the data would go to mobile devices connected wirelessly, said Cisco. At the end of 2013 about 56% of data travelled through fixed connections but this would drop to 39% by 2018 with the rest going to mobile gadgets such as smartphones and tablets.
Increasing mobility, greater use of ultra-high-definition video, and the rise of the "internet of things" would all contribute to rising data volumes, it added


Striker Ryan Lowe has left Crewe Alexandra to rejoin League One side Bury in a player-coach role.

The 38-year-old left the Shakers in the summer and has scored nine goals in 28 appearances so far this season.
BBC Radio Manchester reported in December that Bury had approached the League Two club about Lowe and a deal has now been completed.
He will assist head coach Chris Brass, who replaced sacked boss David Flitcroft at Gigg Lane.
"I have a long association with Bury and the coaching staff understood that it was an opportunity that I really couldn't turn down," Lowe told Crewe's club website.
"Coaching is something I want to get involved in and everyone knows that Bury holds a special place in my heart.
"I was out of contract in the summer, and at my age, I had to look towards the future."

A heterosexual couple have flown to the Isle of Man to become the first in the UK to enter a civil partnership.

Claire Beale, 49, and Martin Loat, 55, took advantage of new legislation in the British Crown Dependency to take their vows at Douglas Registry Office.
The pair, from Ealing in west London, have been together since 1992 and said they wanted to become civil partners "because marriage is not right for us".
Only same-sex civil partnerships are currently allowed in the UK.
In July, the Isle of Man became the only part of the British Isles where both gay and straight couples can enter civil partnerships.
The couple, who have two children, added: "We want a less encumbered, light-touch civil union that recognises our relationship on our terms, free from the trappings and social pre-conditions of marriage, while protecting our family financially and in law.
"We regard ourselves as one of the millions of 'happily unmarried' couples in the UK."
They said they were campaigning "for the UK government to follow the Isle of Man's lead and end discrimination against heterosexuals seeking civil partnerships".
Couples who register a civil partnership on the Isle of Man acquire the legal status of civil partners and gain similar rights and responsibilities to those of married couples.
The Isle of Man General Registry said Claire and Martin's ceremony was only the second civil partnership since the new legislation came into force.
The first was between local couple Adeline Cosson and Kieran Hodgson on 15 October.
A spokesman for the Registry Office confirmed there have been several enquiries from other UK couples.
The next booking is for February.


Coryn Rivera produced a superb late surge to win the 2017 RideLondon Classique in a sprint finish.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The American, 24, started her sprint from deep, hauling in her rivals before kicking again to push Finland's Lotta Lepisto into second on the Mall.
Germany's Lisa Brennauer led out the sprint and held on in wet weather to finish third in the 66km race around a central London circuit.
Dutch rider Marianne Vos was fourth with 2016 champion Kirsten Wild fifth.
"I'm absolutely elated - they were not the best conditions but when you've got a goal, you've got to commit and get after it," Team Sunweb rider Rivera told BBC Sport.
"I knew I was in the right place and just had to time my sprint correctly - it's a very long sprint so it's a bit deceptive but I went at the right time and pulled it off."
The Classique, part of the women's WorldTour, is the richest women's one-day race with a prize pool of 100,000 euros (£89,500), which matches the total prize pool for the men's race on Sunday.
"I'm really excited that this race understands we race just as hard, just as crazy as the men and so it's special to me they respect that," added Rivera, who won the women's Tour of Flanders in April.
"To win on my first time racing here is pretty special, too."
Rivera's Canadian team-mate Leah Kirchmann won the sprints competition for amassing the most points in the three sprint finishes on laps three, six and nine of the 12-lap race.
Britain's Katie Archibald won the first intermediate sprint and was fourth at the second but could not contest the third before she eased home in 80th place.
Compatriot Hannah Barnes was the highest-placed Briton in 17th as she faded from contention in the final stages, with her Canyon SRAM Racing lead-out rider Brennauer instead having to strike out alone.


The family of a 12-year-old girl identified as one of the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire have spoken of their anger at the loss of their "little angel".

Jessica Urbano Ramirez has now been formally identified as one of the 80 people killed in the blaze on 14 June.
In a statement, the family said they were "totally crushed" by the news.
Nura Jemal, 35, was also named by the police, bringing the total number of formal identifications to 45.
Baby Logan Gomes, who was stillborn in hospital on 14 June, has also been recorded by police as a victim of the fire.
In a statement released by the Metropolitan Police, Jessica's family said it had been "probably the hardest news any parents will ever have had to bear" learning of her death.
But as well as paying tribute to the "loving, kind-hearted and caring" schoolgirl, the family called for justice for all of the victims.
"Nothing will ever bring our little girl back, and we are angry that this should ever have happened to our little angel," they said. "We will not rest until we get justice for her and for the many other lives lost as a result of this crime.
"We will only feel justice has been served when the highest possible charges are applied to culpable individuals. We entrust this task to the authorities in the hope that we will not be let down."
Nura's family described the wife and mother as "vibrant, full of life and positive-minded", as well as devoted to her faith in Islam.
"You were grateful and appreciated even the smallest things in life," they added. "And your joy was contagious. Being around you could lighten up anyone's day in a matter of seconds.
"You were so passionate when you talked about heaven. Even your last words were about asking for forgiveness. You seemed to know that heaven was waiting for you and your family."
Earlier on Monday, the inquests of three victims were opened at Westminster Coroner's Court. Forty-one inquests have now been started.
Eslah Elgwahry, 64, was found on the 23rd floor of the tower block and is believed to have lived on the 19th floor.
Joseph Daniels, 69, was found on the 16th floor of the building.
A third victim, a 35-year-old woman whose family asked for her not to be named, was discovered on the 23rd floor of the 24-storey building.
The preliminary cause of death for all three victims was recorded as "consistent with the effects of fire".
All of the inquests have been adjourned while the public inquiry and criminal investigations are carried out.


Everton chairman Bill Kenwright met Wayne Rooney's long-time adviser Paul Stretford in London on Wednesday amid speculation over the forward's Manchester United future.

BBC Sport understands there is increased momentum behind a deal to take Rooney back to Goodison Park.
That has now taken the form of face-to-face discussions.
However, as yet, no deal has been agreed for the 31-year-old, and other clubs are still interested.
The future of the the former England captain, who started 15 Premier League games last season, has been the subject of speculation for several months.
Rooney began his career at Goodison Park before joining United for £27m in August 2004.
Everton's major shareholder Farhad Moshiri would regard Rooney's return to Goodison Park as a major coup.
Rooney has said repeatedly that he would not leave Old Trafford for any Premier League team other than Everton, although it is understood that they are not the only club interested.
Rooney, who has a contract with United until 2019, has seen his playing opportunities limited under Jose Mourinho's management.
Asked in May if he wanted to stay at Old Trafford, he said: "Of course. I've been at this club for 13 years, but I want to play football."
Everton's director of football Steve Walsh said in February that "it would be wrong" to ignore a potential deal for the forward, who is United's record goalscorer.
Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata, 24, has emerged as United's preferred striking option to replace the injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic - with any deal likely to mean Rooney will be allowed to leave Old Trafford.
Mourinho's side are scheduled to report for pre-season training on Saturday before leaving for a five-match tour of the United States the following day.
All parties are remaining tight-lipped on the details of negotiations.
Rooney's best days may be behind him but he still retains a global status - making him the perfect acquisition as Everton continue their fiercely ambitious strategy of demonstrating their determination to be major players once more.
He remains one of the most marketable players in England. Everton don't have anyone who comes close.


A man has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after a man was attacked at a County Antrim bar.

Darren Moore suffered multiple fractures and cuts to his face when he was attacked by several men with baseball bats and hammers in Doagh on Wednesday, police said.
Aaron Cahoon, 27, was also charged with possessing an offensive weapon with intent to commit a crime.
Mr Cahoon, of Fairhill Gardens, Newtownabbey, denies the charges.
He was arrested along with six other men; the other five were later released on police bail.
Mr Moore, in his forties and formerly from the Mount Vernon area of Belfast, was drinking in McConnell's Bar when he was attacked, Belfast Magistrates' Court heard.
Refusing bail, the judge remanded Mr Cahoon in custody to appear again by video link on 13 April.


Ukrainian government troops are being outgunned by pro-Russian rebels because they lack new anti-tank weapons and radars, a military expert says.

Modern heavy armour gave the rebels the advantage in fighting at Donetsk airport recently, Reuben Johnson of Jane's Defence told the BBC.
Ukraine has asked the US for Javelin anti-tank missiles and hi-tech radar that locates heavy artillery, he said.
Washington is considering whether to supply Ukraine with defensive weapons.
So far the US has not delivered arms that can match Russian equipment.
Nato, Western governments and the Ukrainian government say Russian regular troops are fighting alongside the rebels, using new heavy armour and artillery. Russia denies that, but says Russian "volunteers" have joined the rebels.
"The Russian equipment in eastern Ukraine is some of the best they have," said Mr Johnson, based in the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
"About 70% of Ukrainian anti-tank missiles are old or even expired. But almost all the Russian armour is reactive - that means boxes of explosives cover the tank, so when a missile hits a box it blows up the missile without harming the tank."
Last year Ukraine asked the US for counter-battery radars, which can show the path of incoming projectiles, he said.
Such tracking radars enable troops to pinpoint an artillery or mortar unit, which can then be targeted.
"They got counter-mortar radar - but its range is shorter, and it didn't work," Mr Johnson said.
Counter-artillery radar was not supplied apparently because the US government feared that Ukraine might then target artillery pieces firing from Russian soil, he said.
The rebels control a big swathe of Donetsk and Luhansk regions - known as "Donbas" - bordering on Russia.
The conflict erupted last April, when the rebels seized government buildings in Donbas, shortly after Russia had annexed Ukraine's Crimea peninsula.
A group of US think-tanks has given estimates of the troop strengths in the combat zone, in a new report. It is based on recent discussions with Nato and Ukrainian officials.
The report quotes Ukrainian sources as saying "the total number of Russian troops and separatist fighters in the Donbas came to 36,000, as opposed to 34,000 Ukrainian troops along the line of contact.
"They believed that Russian forces made up 8,500 to 10,000 of the 36,000."
However, the report also notes that Nato gives a very different assessment of Russian troop numbers in Donbas.
Nato estimates that up to 1,000 GRU personnel (Russian military intelligence) and Russian officers are helping the rebels, according to the report.
But Nato says the troops have not been operating as organised Russian army units.
These estimates contrast with those of a Russian military analyst, Ilya Kramnik, who said last September that Ukrainian troops outnumbered the rebels two-to-one. He gave the figures as 20,000 to 25,000 on the rebel side, against 45,000 to 50,000 Ukrainian troops.


Matthew Fitzpatrick will make his senior championship debut for Antrim in Sunday's Ulster SFC preliminary round clash with Fermanagh at Brewster Park.

The St John's forward impressed during the team's promotion-winning Division Four league campaign in the spring.
John Carron makes his first championship start since an All-Ireland qualifier defeat by Louth in 2013.
Otherwise the saffrons field a hugely experienced side as they bid to avenge two losses to Fermanagh last summer.
Kevin Niblock has been passed fit to start despite suffering from a bout of tonsilitis last week.
Carron came on as a sub in Antrim's Ulster SFC defeat by Monaghan in 2013, but Sunday's game will be his first provincial championship start.

Antrim badly missed the leadership and influence of key players such as Michael and Tomas McCann and Kevin Niblock who opted out last year.
Brian 'Bam' Neeson, who also missed last year's defeats to the Erne county in Ulster championship and All-Ireland SFC second round qualifier, is another player Fermanagh will be wary of.
He scored 1-6 in Antrim's 2-18 to 3-13 victory over Fermanagh in the Ulster SFC in 2014.
Antrim SFC (v Fermanagh): C Kerr; K O'Boyle, R Johnston, N Delargy; P McBride, M Johnston, J Laverty; N McKeever, C Murray; M Fitzpatrick, K Niblock, J Carron; B Neeson, T McCann, M McCann.
Subs: R Hanna, S McVeigh, C Burke, R Murray, P McAleer, P Gallagher, S Burke, M Armstrong, M Sweeney, D McAleese, J Dowling.


A 17-year-old boy has died after a fight in south London.

Police and ambulance were called to Flaxman Road, in Lambeth at 20:50 BST on Saturday.
The victim, who is yet to be formally identified, was found with head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said post-mortem tests were due to be carried out in Greenwich and a murder investigation had been launched.
One resident in the street reported hearing "loud bangs" which she thought were gunshots but police said they were not aware of any shots being fired during the incident.
A section of the road has been cordoned off while a forensic examination takes place.


A forensics expert has been questioned at a trial about blood evidence left by the man now serving life for Lynette White's murder in Cardiff.

The expert was asked if it was possible Jeffrey Gafoor had been hurt in a struggle with Miss White, who could then have been killed later by one or more different people.
Gafoor admitted the 1988 murder. Three men were earlier wrongly convicted.
Eight ex-police officers deny perverting the course of justice.
Gafoor was arrested in 2003 but before then, three men had been convicted of the murder before being freed on appeal in 1992.
Five men, who became known as the Cardiff Five, were originally tried and three of them Stephen Miller, Yusef Abdullahi and Tony Paris were convicted and jailed for life in 1990.
The Cardiff Three as they became known were released two years later after their convictions were quashed.
A 10-year inquiry into how they came to be arrested has resulted in the former police officers who worked on the original investigation being accused of "fitting up" the men.
Miss White, a prostitute, was stabbed more than 50 times inside a flat at James Street, Cardiff, which she used to entertain clients, in the early hours of 14 February 1988.
Gafoor, who is serving a life sentence, had told Swansea Crown Court that he "stabbed at" Miss White 10 to 12 times in a darkened bedroom.
He said he had demanded back his Â£30 after she had refused to have unprotected sex with him. A struggle began and he killed her. He said he had acted alone.
Dr Angela Gallop, a forensic scientist, told Swansea Crown Court on Wednesday about tests for blood she had made in 1999, 11 years after the murder.
The flat had been redecorated by then but her team was able to take away original doors and skirting boards and had access to her clothing and other items.
For the first time, she said, they were able to remove fresh paint from a door and find blood underneath.
She described how DNA profiles had been found at various points which matched or partially matched that of Gafoor and Miss White.
She agreed that the fatal wound had been to Miss White's throat.
After that, she had been stabbed several times through the chest while her jacket had been wrapped - back to front - tightly around her and both her wrists had been cut.
William Coker QC, the barrister defending then Det Insp Graham Mouncher, who had day to day control of the investigation leading up to the original arrests of the five men, put it to Dr Gallop that there could have been two episodes of violence.
He said Gafoor had told of only 10 or 12 stabs when there had been more than 50 and he had not mentioned cutting her throat three times.
Mr Coker said Gafoor did not know if the stabs had connected. He had then stopped and had not injured her again.
But he had, at some stage, suffered a cut himself.
"If he is right about 10 or 12 stabs then there is obviously more to it. The fatal attack could have been minutes or hours later," asked Mr Coker.
"It is technically possible," replied Dr Gallop.
Mr Coker asked if it was possible that during the first struggle Miss White had not been injured but Gafoor had, which could explain why traces of what appeared to have been his blood had been found at exit points to the flat.
And it could have been Miss White herself who transferred the injured Gafoor's blood to her clothing, including her left sock.
Dr Gallop said she had not been asked to reconstruct the crime scene, only to search for blood that did not belong there.
"The fatal attack could have happened any time after he had left," added Mr Coker.
Gafoor had claimed, added Mr Coker, that after the attack had finished he had sat on a bed "for about two minutes and then left in a hurry".
Dr Gallop agreed that if that had happened she would have expected Gafoor's blood to have been found on the bed.
The trial continues.


Why would anyone take the Newcastle job?

The club has problems from top to bottom, according to Magpies legend Alan Shearer.

They are stuck in the relegation zone - only Aston Villa have a worse record this season. And while they are just a point behind 17th-place Sunderland, there's a further eight-point gap to the next team, Swansea.
Oh, and there's only 10 games left. And the next one is away to table-topping workaholics Leicester.
But come on, it's #feelgoodfriday. So with that in mind, and with Rafael Benitez in place as their new manager, we've been thinking about the things Newcastle have going for them.
One point. And they play their north-east rivals at home next week. What an opportunity!
Georginio Wijnaldum captained PSV to their first title in years in the Netherlands last season. He's Newcastle's top scorer this season  - nine goals in 22 appearances from midfield is decent. He scored against Brazil for the Dutch in the 2014 World Cup third place play-off. Now if Rafa can just get him firing consistently...
Jonjo Shelvey and Andros Townsend didn't come cheap when they arrived on Tyneside in January and have been two of the better players recently. Now if Rafa can just get them firing consistently...
Many Newcastle fans have been critical of the board. OK, very critical of the board. But they have spent £83m since the end of last season and have pledged to continue forking out on players.
The Spaniard has the seventh-best win rate in Premier League history, according to Opta.
The last time Benitez managed a team that plays in stripes (Inter Milan) he won the Fifa Club World Cup - though he was sacked five days later.
Remember the 2005 Champions League final? A bold team selection saw Liverpool 3-0 down to AC Milan at half-time in Istanbul. What happened next? A bold fightback by Benitez's men is what happened, and Europe's premier trophy returned to Anfield for a fifth time.
Can he pull off another miracle on Tyneside?


Serena Williams won her second Wimbledon title within five hours with victory in the women's doubles alongside sister Venus.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The pair won 6-3 6-4 against Timea Babos and Yaroslava Shvedova to claim their sixth Wimbledon doubles title and 14th doubles Grand Slam.
The win means now only Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver have won more doubles Grand Slams as a pair.
"It's awesome to win another doubles at Wimbledon," said Serena.
Earlier Serena beat Angelique Kerber 7-5 6-3 to win her 22nd Grand Slam, equalling Steffi Graf's open era record.
Venus said: "I never want to make a mistake. I don't want to let Serena down. She brought the energy from the singles on to the doubles court."


Kent have signed New Zealand batsman Tom Latham as an overseas player to play in all formats in 2016.

The left-hander has scored three centuries in 17 Test appearances and averages 41.39 in first-class cricket.
The 23-year-old has also played 38 one-day internationals and 12 Twenty20 internationals for the Black Caps, but did not make their World T20 squad.
"Playing county cricket has always been a goal of mine," Latham told the club website.
"I've heard great things about the playing group and coaching staff, so I can't wait to get started."
Latham, who made his Test debut against India in February 2014, is due to join the Kent squad before they start the County Championship Division Two campaign at Worcestershire on Sunday, 10 April.
South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has agreed to join Kent for a stint in June and July.
