Kelly Smith has been named in the Team GB squad for London 2012 after recovering from injury.

England's all-time leading scorer recently returned to fitness after sustaining a stress fracture in March.
The only non-English players selected in the squad of 18 are Scots Ifeoma Dieke and Kim Little.
"Narrowing my squad down to 18 was very, very tough because of the calibre of player we've got coming through now," said Team GB coach Hope Powell.

"This is a great chance for these players to be involved in something huge and it gives us a great platform to further raise the profile of the women's game."
Powell, who has managed England since 1998, says she based her selections for the Team GB squad purely on merit.
"I didn't feel any pressure to include players from Northern Ireland or Wales," she said.
"I was tasked with picking the best squad of players and that's what I've done. We had everyone looked at extensively.
"I took the associations out of the equation and it was just about trying to pick a squad of players that I felt would do the best job possible."
Everton and England goalkeeper Rachel Brown told BBC Radio Lancashire that being selected to represent Team GB at London 2012 is "the pinnacle" of her career.
"It's something that, a few years ago, we didn't think the opportunity would ever arise," said Brown, who has appeared in both the World Cup and European Championships for England.
"It's only really been in the few months since it's been confirmed that you start thinking about how much it would mean to you (to be selected).

v CAMEROON - Cardiff, 28 July
v BRAZIL - Wembley, 31 July
"Being part of the biggest tournament in the whole world is still sinking in. If anyone's part of the Olympics, it's got to be the pinnacle of their career and I'm starting to think it could be the pinnacle of my career as well."
Brown's Everton team mate Jill Scott says that Team GB have a tough task on their hands when they face Brazil in their final Group E game.
"Brazil are one of the best teams in the women's game, they have the best player in the world in Marta, who a couple of the girls have played against in America. It's going to be a very difficult game."
London 2012 will be the first time that Great Britain has competed in the Olympic women's football tournament, and their opening match against New Zealand at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on 25 July takes place two days before the opening ceremony.
Squad: Eniola Aluko, Anita Asante, Karen Bardsley, Sophie Bradley, Rachel Brown, Karen Carney, Ifeoma Dieke, Stephanie Houghton, Kim Little, Claire Rafferty, Alex Scott, Jill Scott, Kelly Smith, Casey Stoney, Fara Williams, Rachel Williams, Ellen White, Rachel Yankey.
Reserves: Jess Clarke, Emma Higgins, Jane Ross, Dunia Susi.

Worcestershire took three early Derbyshire wickets, but opener Luis Reece fought back with an unbeaten half-century on a rain-hit opening day.

When play finally got under way at 16:00 BST because of a wet outfield at Derby, visiting captain Joe Leach bowled Ben Slater in the first over.
Jack Shantry removed Shiv Thakor (23) and teenage paceman Josh Tongue tempted Wayne Madsen to edge behind for 11.
But 26-year-old Reece finished on 53 as Derbyshire closed on 111-3.
Meanwhile Derbyshire director of cricket Kim Barnett has revealed they will be without South African fast bowler Hardus Viljoen until the end of June with a hip injury.
"We had a meeting yesterday when it was decided he wasn't fully fit and I think he knew that. We just want him to do himself justice," Barnett said.
"It's no use him going out at 70% fit and not bowling to his standards so we must get him fully fit and healthy to do what he can do when he comes back."
Viljoen, 28, was expected to make his Derbyshire Championship debut, after featuring in five of their One-Day Cup group games.
Worcestershire batting coach Kevin Sharp:
"It was probably just about even. Our lads have been a bit unfortunate because they bowled quite well and perhaps on another day they would have got the nicks.
"It's a used pitch so there could have been an argument to say you want to bat first but there's been so much dampness over the last two days and since our One-Day Cup game here on Tuesday night the pitch has been pretty much covered up.
"We are all excited about Josh Tongue. He's a young man with a very good attitude, he's got a very good repetitive action, he hits the seam and he hits the splice which are all very good attributes to have."


England are a more close-knit unit since Eddie Jones took over as head coach before this year's Six Nations, says number eight Billy Vunipola.

Media playback is not supported on this device
England secured the Six Nations title with victory over Wales last weekend and will win the Grand Slam if they beat France in Paris on Saturday.
Jones replaced Stuart Lancaster after England's disastrous 2015 World Cup.
"James Haskell never used to talk to me! But now we've started talking about stuff other than rugby," said Vunipola.
"After a few games this year he was asking me questions and now we've made a good bond.
"It [the England camp] is quite an easy-going place off the pitch and it's nice to sit down, have a chat and see what's going on in team-mates' lives.
"We realised it was something we could improve on, you build stronger and better relationships that way.
"And you can see that new players are coming in and just doing their thing."
In an interview with BBC Radio 5 live, Vunipola added that he had benefited from Jones encouraging him to play his own game.
"He [Jones] has come in and had a good influence on the boys. Not just him, but also 'Guzzy' [defence coach Paul Gustard] and [forwards coach] Steve Borthwick.
"They know me quite well from Saracens so it's about paying that trust back."
On Australian Jones' fearsome reputation, Vunipola said: "We haven't seen Eddie lose his rag with us and I hope never to see that in my life."


West Ham will pay £2.5m a year to rent the 60,000-seater Olympic Stadium, it has been revealed after the deal was made public following a legal battle.

The ground's owners, the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), fought a ruling that the contract should be published, but the appeal was rejected this week.
West Ham will pay the sum per year over the 99-year lease, the 207-page document has revealed.
The Hammers move in this summer.
The first £4m of any naming rights deal will go to the LLDC and Newham borough, with anything above that between the two bodies and West Ham, although the amount is capped.
The rent will be halved to £1.25m if West Ham are relegated.
The LLDC, which had spent thousands of pounds fighting the ruling, said the decision could cost the organisation "millions of pounds".
But it has decided not to appeal against the tribunal's ruling.
Watch: BBC Sports editor Dan Roan on Olympic Stadium legacy
The club were awarded tenancy of the London 2012 stadium in 2013, and at least £272m has been spent to convert the site for use as a Premier League ground.
West Ham have contributed £15m towards those costs. Last year a BBC documentary revealed the club was having many of the running costs of the stadium paid for it by the taxpayer under the terms of the tenancy agreement.
The Hammers will not have to pay for a range of things including policing, stewarding, goalposts, corner flags, cleaners and turnstile operators. Heating and lighting costs will also be covered by the stadium managers.
However, stadium bosses point out that this is normal for a rental agreement, using the analogy that you would not expect to hire a badminton court and not have nets supplied.
A coalition of 14 supporters' trusts from around the country submitted a Freedom of Information request to obtain that tenancy agreement and believe the deal gives West Ham, who have played at Upton Park since 1904, a competitive advantage.
West Ham say they have nothing to hide, believe it is a "great deal" for the club and the taxpayer, and say the stadium offers a true legacy.
The club added: "Someone renting the stadium for 25 days a year cannot be responsible for 365 days' running costs."
A coalition of 14 supporters' groups and trusts of several different clubs campaigned for the information to be released. In a statement it said: "This is the right decision for the taxpayer, and the right decision for football."
Pressure group the Taxpayers' Alliance called the deal "ludicrously generous" and said questions remain for "those responsible for offering a deal for which most clubs would have sold their star striker".
BBC Sport's Frank Keogh:
"After a long-running legal row, campaigners have finally succeeded in getting all the details of the Olympic Stadium deal made public.
"That is unlikely to completely end the story, with critics saying West Ham have got a new stadium on the cheap.
"The Hammers are keeping their distance, although insist by becoming a high-profile anchor tenant, the club is helping to ensure the venue does not become a 'white elephant'. As a tenant, it also misses out on benefits of added income which a venue owner enjoys.
"Focus may now turn to the stadium rights arrangement, and quite how much the Hammers might benefit from that."


A man handed himself into police after a helmet camera video showing an attack on a female cyclist was released.

A 33-year-old man walked into London's Bethnal Green police station and said he was the man in the footage, but was not arrested, police said.
The video showed a cyclist being pushed into the path of traffic after she asked a man not to cross the road in front of her at Whitechapel.
She was left shaken by the incident in Sidney Street on 1 May.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: "The man will be interviewed by officers from Tower Hamlets in due course."


Alex Cuthbert would be "lucky" to regain his Wales place even if Liam Williams is ruled out of the Rugby World Cup, according to Dafydd James.

Williams, who took Cuthbert's place on the wing during the Six Nations, will miss Wales' first two warm up matches following foot surgery.
Ex-Wales centre James says Cuthbert faces a big task to win the shirt back.
"He'll be very lucky if he gets back in," he said. "I don't think he's put his hand up this season."
Cardiff Blues' back Cuthbert, 25, has not played for Wales since their 26-23 win over Scotland in February at Murrayfield, their second match of Six Nations.
He was left out of the matchday squads altogether for their three remaining fixtures.
The previously prolific Cuthbert failed to score in 11 of the 14 matches he played for his region in the Pro12 during 2014-15, but crossed twice in their final fixture of the campaign against bottom side Zebre.
He has been included in Wales' 47-man World Cup training squad which will be trimmed down to 31 at the end of August and James told Radio Wales Sport that the winger needs to improve.
"It's down to mental attitude possibly," the 2001 British Lion said. "It depends how he goes in the training camp.
"If I was in the training camp and I was one of the backs I'd see this as a massive opportunity to really step up my game, show what you can do and put your hands up."
Wales head coach Warren Gatland is "optimistic" Williams, 24, will recover in time to take part in the World Cup.
James says losing the Scarlets' back would be a setback for Wales, who are already without injured centre Jonathan Davies (knee).
"It would be a massive blow," said James. "He's certainly a valuable commodity to have in the back division.
"He seems to create a hell of a lot of try-scoring opportunities, which we've seen him doing time and time again for Scarlets, but also for Wales this season. So let's hope he makes a speedy recovery."


A train company has apologised for cancelling services on one of the busiest post-Christmas shopping days.

Great Northern and Thameslink trains serve centres such as London, King's Lynn, Cambridge, Peterborough, Hertford, Bedford and Brighton.
A shortage of drivers on Sunday meant many services were cancelled.
"We rely on drivers working rest days but on this occasion, it has not been possible and for that we apologise," a company spokesman said.
"Sometimes, such as at Christmas time and annual leave periods, we do not have enough drivers to carry out both day-to-day operations and the large amount of training required.
"We have been working flat out to address this with the UK's biggest driver recruitment and training programme.
"Currently we have 190 drivers being trained - 96 on Thameslink and 94 on Great Northern - and it takes more than 12 months for them to become proficient on their dedicated routes."
New electric Class-700 trains with larger carriages are to be introduced across the north-south route through central London from 2016, the company said.


Michael Hoey made the cut at the Lyonness Open in Austria after a 69 on Friday but Gareth Maybin pulled out of the event following his opening 76.

Hoey, 36, was two shots inside the cut mark of level par after his three-under-par round.
The Northern Irishman shares 31st place at the halfway stage although he is 10 behind leader Gregory Bourdy with Peter Lawrie the best Irishman on five under.
Hoey produced four birdies and a single bogey in a steady round at Atzenbrugg.
Galgorm Castle touring professional and five-time European Tour winner Hoey is currently only 122nd in the Race to Dubai standings.
Maybin lost his European Tour card at the end of last season and will almost certainly drop down further in the Race to Dubai from his current 209th spot.
The Ballyclare man has been handed a number of starts on the main tour this season but has struggle to make an impact.
Simon Thornton squeezed into the final two rounds on the cut mark of level after a 74.
After starting at the 10th, the county Down-based player was two under par after 15 holes but a double bogey at the seventh meant that he needed to par the closing two holes to progress to the weekend action.
Kevin Phelan missed the cut after a 75 left him on five over while Damien McGrane exited on 10 over after a second successive 77.
Frenchman Bourdy added a 67 to his his impressive 65 which left him four ahead of Chris Wood and Gary Stal.
Lawrie is sharing eighth place on five under after a 71 on Friday.


Egypt has said it is investigating the possibility that the recent killing of an Italian student in Cairo may have been motivated by crime or revenge.

The interior ministry said there were "several possibilities including criminal activity or the desire for revenge due to personal reasons".
International media and Egyptian activists have suggested Giulio Regeni's death may have come at the hands of the security forces.
Egyptian officials have dismissed this.
The interior ministry's latest statement again rejected the accusations as "rumours" and "false information".
It made no mention of the security forces and referred to Mr Regeni's "many relationships with people near where he lived and where he studied" as a possible factor in his death.
Mr Regeni, a graduate student at Cambridge University, was attached to the American University in Cairo where he was researching Egyptian trade unions and labour rights.
Staff there have spoken of the subject area being a sensitive topic in Egypt.
Mr Regeni disappeared on 25 January, the fifth anniversary of the start of protests which forced former President Hosni Mubarak from power.
His mutilated body was found a week later dumped by a roadside in the outskirts of Cairo.
A senior source at Egypt's forensics authority told Reuters news agency that the student had seven broken ribs, signs of electrocution on his genitals, widespread trauma injuries and a brain haemorrhage.


The PSNI believe a fire in Coleraine, County Londonderry, last Sunday may have been started deliberately.

The fire spread from an oil tank to a house on the Ballycastle Road at about 04:00 GMT.
A man, a woman and a small child were taken to hospital and treated for smoke inhalation .
The occupants and neighbours were moved from their homes while fire crews tackled the blaze.
Substantial damage was caused to the house.
PSNI Detective Sergeant Kelly Gallagher said: "Following enquiries, it is believed that this fire may have been started deliberately.
"I would therefore appeal to anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity in the area between the hours of 2am and 4am, or anyone who knows anything about this incident, to contact detectives at Coleraine Police Station."


Glassblowing in Tunisia is thought to date back more than 2,000 years.

22 June 2016 Last updated at 12:19 BST
It was a craft introduced by the Phoenicians, who established city states on the Mediterranean coast - including the city of Carthage in Tunisia. But it later died out in the North African country.
BBC Africa's Rana Jawad met glassblower Sadika Keskes, who brought back the art form to Tunisia 30 years ago.


Newcastle United striker Emmanuel Riviere has joined Spanish side Osasuna on loan until the end of the season, with a view to a permanent move.

The 26-year-old arrived on Tyneside from Monaco in July 2014 for around £5m, but has only made 31 appearances, scoring three goals.
Riviere has not featured for Rafael Benitez's side since March.
Osasuna, who are 14th in La Liga, play Benitez's former club Real Madrid next Saturday.


Brendan Rodgers believes Steven Gerrard possesses the qualities to move into coaching or management, but played down speculation of him joining Celtic.

Gerrard has announced his departure from LA Galaxy, and has been linked with a move to Glasgow to reunite with his former Liverpool manager.
Rodgers was fulsome in his praise of Gerrard, but distanced himself from the possibility of a move to Parkhead.
"Players coming into the club I never speculate on," Rodgers said.
"With regards to Steven, he's been an incredible player.
"I had a number of years with him at Liverpool when he was absolutely brilliant for me.
"It's that time of the year now, we're getting towards the January window, Stevie's time has finished out there at Galaxy, so there's speculation about where he might go.
"Of course there's a natural look at Celtic because of the size of the club, it's a club he admired, and I've got some of my former players here working with me. But we always keep our business behind closed doors.
"[Coaching] is something I'm sure he would want to do. Back [at Liverpool], him and Kolo Toure were doing their B Licence coaching badges - I know that Kolo has just passed his, which is great for him - but they were both great warriors and players.
"I'm sure if they want to stay in the game beyond the playing side then the coaching element is something they'll look to.
"Steven certainly had those qualities, but it's what you then want to do with that, being a coach or a manager is hard work."
Rodgers is preparing his side for the visit to Rugby Park on Friday, and admitted the timing of the game is not helpful with so many of his players having been away on international duty.
Australia's Tom Rogic and Honduras's Emilio Izaguirre will only return to Scotland tomorrow, and the Celtic manager admitted that the Friday night kick-off coming so soon after the international matches will influence his team selection.
"It isn't ideal, if you look that we had 14 players away during this break, over 50% of the squad," Rodgers said.
"I would assume that we probably have the most international players away on duty, yet we the team playing on Friday, which means I'll really need to have a look at the team in terms of the set-up and the fitness of the players.
"It's not ideal preparation. They never usually are on the back of an international break anyway, but if we'd had an extra day that would have benefited us greatly.
"I'm always happy for the players to go away internationally and play. I always say to them to focus on doing their best for their country, and it sometimes keeps them ticking over in terms of games.
"Moussa [Dembele] had some minutes, he comes back having scored two goals, playing really well and full of confidence. So it's important for them to represent their national team, do well, but then come back and focus on doing well for Celtic."
Rodgers was full of praise for Dembele, who scored twice for France under-21s in their 3-2 win over England under-21s on Monday, and joked that the striker has already claimed free-kick taking duties after converting a set-piece during the game.
The Celtic manager also revealed that he has spoken to Nir Bitton about the midfielder being sent home by Israel ahead of their fixture with Albania following a row with the head coach Elisha Levy.
"That was something between him and his coach," Rodgers said. "I've never had a problem with him, he's been an excellent professional.
"When I asked him to come back early in pre-season, he was one of the first ones to come back.
"He was due to have a longer rest period, but he came back virtually straight away and I've never had one issue with him in my time here.
"He's a very important member of our squad. I've spoken to him on the issue. He has his opinion on it. But the focus is very much on Celtic and getting back to working here."


A man walking in a forest in Florida, America, has captured a rare image of a raccoon appearing to stand and ride on the back of an alligator.

Richard Jones was walking with his family in the Ocala National Forest when they spotted the alligator.
He snapped the picture just at the right moment before the racoon jumped off and the alligator went underwater.
"Without the context you'd think the raccoon was hitching a ride across the river," he said to a local TV station.


Boreham Wood have signed midfielder Jai Reason from National League rivals Eastleigh on a free transfer.

The 27-year-old former Ipswich Town and Cambridge United player made more than 250 appearances for the Spitfires after joining them in 2012.
He helped the club win promotion from the Conference South and scored once in 26 matches for Eastleigh this term.
"He's joining a very well-run club with ambition. I'm sure he'll do well," said Eastleigh chairman Stewart Donald.

To help ring in the new year, the BBC's science and environment journalists weigh in on the blockbuster stories heading our way in 2015.

David Shukman, science editor
Two very different countdowns will attract a lot of attention next year - one ticking towards to a summit on climate change in Paris, the other towards lift-off for Britain's first astronaut to fly to the ISS.
Usually you can measure international progress on global warming in inches rather than miles. Now, with China and the US, the two biggest emitters, reaching their own accord on cutting greenhouse gases, the UN hopes new impetus could lead, if not to a treaty, then at least to a wider agreement of some kind. To focus the minds of the presidents and prime ministers, a timetable has been set for countries to pledge their own steps to cut carbon ahead of the Paris gathering. Optimists will talk up the prospects. But anyone who witnessed the failure of the last big climate summit - in Copenhagen in 2009 - may sound a little more cynical.
Meanwhile, Tim Peake will be going through his final rounds of training before starting his historic six-month mission into space.  In recent decades, manned spaceflight has failed to inspire successive UK governments but ministers are now excited by the chance of generating a massive profile for the growing space industry. Tim's journey begins at Baikonur, Russia's spaceport, where he'll climb into a trusty Soyuz rocket for the six-hour journey to the International Space Station. Blast-off is scheduled for Friday, 20 November. A departure time has already been set: 9pm London time.

Boom, boom! One of the most anticipated sounds of 2015 will be the double crack of the British Bloodhound car breaking the sound barrier. With a Eurofighter-Typhoon jet engine bolted to a rocket, the vehicle will hope to better the current World Land Speed Record of 763mph (1,230km/h) set by Andy Green in Thrust SSC in 1997.
The RAF Wing Commander will again be at the controls when Bloodhound SSC runs across a dried-up lakebed in Northern Cape, South Africa, towards the end of the year. The goal ultimately is to push the record beyond 1,000mph (1,610km/h), but that will have to wait until 2016. It has been quite a struggle just getting to the start line.
Finding the technical solutions to keep the car from going airborne during its high-speed runs has been the main reason why the project is now four years beyond the original schedule; and the required finances have more than tripled as a consequence. But the team believes it is now ready to make its mark.
Back in 1997, Thrust SSC was one of the very first stories to be reported by the then fledgling BBC News website. Our online service had started up just weeks earlier. We had some initial text copy, followed by still imagery, before finally video filtered out from the BBC team that had witnessed the event. How times have changed. Bloodhound SSC will be festooned with cameras and sensors, as will the 11-mile-long (18km) racetrack that has been specially prepared for it on Hakskeen Pan. All of this information will be streamed instantly to a global internet audience. Expect this to be one of the standout engineering moments of 2015.

There were eyebrows raised in Europe when Chichester-born Army Major Tim Peake was selected as an Esa astronaut back in 2009. UK governments have traditionally scorned human spaceflight and have contributed minimal amounts to this specific European Space Agency programme. But "Major Tim" was a standout candidate and some within the space agency hoped the move might encourage greater participation from Britain.
Thus, in late 2015, Tim will carry the Union flag on his arm as he launches in a Russian spacecraft to begin a six-month residence on the International Space Station (ISS).
Observers will be watching to see if the "Tim effect" can inspire a new generation of young scientists and engineers, boosting confidence in Britain's hi-tech industries. To that end, space agency chiefs have already organised competitions for schoolchildren to concoct a space meal for Tim and to design his mission patch.
Following his rigorous programme of astronaut training, the former helicopter pilot should begin his mission in November 2015. And he seems equally comfortable in his ambassadorial role as he does in an underwater training tank, having dealt adeptly with a grilling by Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight in 2013.

This is the year when politicians are supposed to design and manufacture a new universal treaty on climate change.
There will inevitably be a gulf between the UN summit talks in Paris in December and what scientists say is needed. But the pressure is on.
The first milestone on the Paris road comes in March when the US, China and the EU should pledge their actions to reduce the world's reliance on fossil fuels.
By November, all nations - rich and poor - will be asked to volunteer to stabilise or cut emissions, although the deal will rely on peer pressure and will not be legally binding.
If rich nations do not produce enough cash to help the poor get clean energy, the summit will surely fail. And poor nations won't sign a deal which allows the rich to dodge responsibility for cutting emissions.
But climate will be firmly on the G7 and G20 agendas. And none of the great powers wants to suffer the political impotence that shamed the 2009 climate summit in Copenhagen.

Undoubtedly, anticipation will build as negotiations continue throughout the year ahead of the key UN climate summit in Paris.
But the coming 12 months is just as important, if not more so, for what is beneath our feet.
2015 is the UN International Year of Soils, which hopes to highlight the importance of one of the most complex biological materials on the planet.
A handful of the stuff can contain billions of microorganisms, and it takes more than 1,000 years to form just a centimetre of topsoil.
We abuse it or ignore it at our peril. Without soil, we do not eat and lose vital ecosystem services that underpin our economic, social and environmental wellbeing.
At the same time as the world's climate negotiators will be sweating in Paris, the world's soil scientists will be gathering in another part of France, in Dijon, for the first Global Soil Biodiversity Conference ahead of the publication of the first Status of World Soil Resources Report.
Soil is the largest terrestrial carbon store - absorbing more than 10% of the world's emissions - so no matter how much politicians in Paris pontificate or pledge, without healthy soil (and there are more than 100,000 types in the world) their efforts are likely to turn to dust.

You wait ages for a mission to a dwarf planet and then two come along at once.
In July, a Nasa spacecraft will make a close pass of Pluto - the enigmatic frozen world that lies an average of 5.9 billion kilometres from the Sun. Discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh, Pluto held planetary status until 2006, when an astronomical body demoted it to "dwarf planet" - a category of similarly petite objects scattered throughout our Solar System.
But Pluto's relegation to a lower league won't kill off any of the excitement about this unique mission, which will also gather data on the object's companion moons.
All we know of Pluto's surface comes from some relatively blurry images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, but this will be the first time any spacecraft has been up-close-and-personal with the object formerly known as "the ninth planet".
Earlier in 2015, in March to be exact, Nasa's Dawn spacecraft will turn up at another mysterious world called Ceres, which is the largest object in the asteroid belt - the collection of rocks that lies between Mars and Jupiter. Unlike the other irregular-looking objects in this belt, Ceres is so big it has taken on a near-spherical shape.
Density measurements suggest there could be ample stores of water-ice on Ceres. Scientists think that when the object swings through the part of its orbit that is closest to the Sun, a portion of its icy surface becomes warm enough to cause water vapour to gush out in plumes. The Dawn team will soon be able to test this theory.
Both missions - to Pluto and Ceres - will be key events in the science calendar for 2015.

In 2015 the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most famous circular subterranean tunnel, will again fire up its accelerators after a two-year hiatus.
The team at Cern, the European particle physics centre near Geneva, Switzerland, has spent the break upgrading the collider.
Its next three-year run of experiments will fire beams of particles around its 27km (17-mile) circumference with almost twice as much energy as before.
After successfully confirming the existence of the Higgs boson in 2012, teams running Cern's four main experiments still have "unfinished business with the Universe", according to Prof Tara Shears from the University of Liverpool.
As well as more fully understanding the Higgs's properties, there are hopes of answering some big, outstanding questions relating to dark matter, antimatter and supersymmetry.
Prof Shears leads a team working on LHCb, an experiment buried on the French side of the border that aims to figure out why the Universe is mostly matter, when the Big Bang should have produced an equal amount of antimatter.
"We want to see what the new data shows us about antimatter, and why there's so little in the Universe," she said.
"We want to chase the hints we've seen in previous measurements, whose behaviour didn't quite match our expectations, in case these hints turn into discoveries."


Prayers have been held across the United States after the killing of nine people at a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina.

The suspect, Dylann Roof, 21, was detained during a traffic stop in Shelby, North Carolina.
After a court appearance on Thursday, Mr Roof waived his right to extradition and was flown back to South Carolina.
Six women and three men, including the pastor, died in the attack. A hate crimes investigation has been launched.
Several churches in Charleston were full to overflowing on Thursday evening as prayer services were held. Some services were held outdoors.
Outside the Emanuel AME Church, where the attack took place, hundreds gathered in soaring heat to pay tribute.
"We really have to fight together to go on and to live a civilised life where race doesn't matter," said one woman, Martha Watson.
At a vigil for victim Sharonda Singleton, her teenage children told the BBC they had forgiven the killer and wanted to focus on moving on in a positive way.
Services were held in several other cities, including Miami, Detroit and Philadelphia.
In New York, services and protests took place, with placards including such messages as "Black Lives Matter" and "Stop killing black people".
Richard Price, executive assistant at the Harlem Church of Christ, said: "That someone would come and infiltrate that sacred space, one of the only spaces we ever really have, and to violate that space, and then to shoot the place up...
"This is a deep, deep-seated hurt that may never ever heal."
A prayer vigil was also held outside the US Capitol. Senate chaplain Barry Black said: "Our hearts ache because, in the future, people will feel fear in the house of God when they should feel peace and serenity."
US President Barack Obama said he and his wife had known several members of the Emanuel AME Church, including pastor, Clementa Pinckney.
Mr Obama called the church a "sacred place" in the history of Charleston and spoke of his confidence that the congregation and the community would "rise again".
He also raised the issue of gun ownership, saying: "At some point, we as a country have to reckon with the fact that this type of massacre does not happen in other advanced countries".
Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton said the US had to face "hard truths" on guns.
"How many innocent people in our country, from little children to church members to movie theatre attendees, how many people do we need to see cut down before we act?"

People are hurting in Charleston. But for the hundreds who packed into the gymnasium at the Goose Creek High School, it was also a reminder of the importance of love.
Sharonda Singleton coached the girls athletics team here. As her photo rested on an easel on the polished floors in the vast sports hall, her friends and family paid tribute.
Speaking for the first time since the deadly attack on the AME church where she worshipped, Sharonda's two children, Chris and Camryn, told me they forgive the man who killed her.
"We already forgive him and there's nothing but love from our side of the family," Chris told me.
Many will find this incomprehensible. Charleston is often called the Holy City for the number of churches it is home to, and the role religion plays here. For some, like Chris and Camryn, unwavering faith is the only way to turn such a devastating loss into something positive.
The police chief in Shelby said Dylann Roof was arrested after a tip-off from a local florist, Debbie Dills.
"At first I thought, nah, it couldn't be," Mrs Dills said. "I didn't want to overreact."
Mrs Dills trailed the suspect's Hyundai car while talking on the phone to police, who then pulled the car over near a supermarket.
Dalton Tyler, who said he was a friend of Mr Roof, told ABC News the suspect had spoken in support of racial segregation and had "said he wanted to start a civil war".
Mr Roof had attended a Bible study group for nearly an hour at the church before becoming aggressive and violent, Charleston's county coroner said.
Eight people died at the scene and one person died later in hospital. There were three survivors.
Along with Rev Pinckney, a 41-year-old father of two, the other victims have been named as Cynthia Hurd, 54; Tywanza Sanders, 26; Ms Singleton, 45; Myra Thompson, 59; Ethel Lance, 70; Susie Jackson, 87; the Rev Daniel Simmons Sr, 74; and DePayne Doctor.
Cynthia Taylor, a niece of Ms Jackson, said she had spoken to a survivor, Felecia Sanders, who said she had played dead as she lay on top of her granddaughter to protect her.
Police and officials were quick to call the attack a hate crime.
The Emanuel church is the oldest African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church in the US south. Civil rights leader Martin Luther King gave a speech there in April 1962.
Tensions have been heightened since the shooting two months ago of Walter Scott, an unarmed black man by a white police officer in North Charleston, which prompted angry protests.
The officer has since been charged with murder.
Rev Pinckney - who was also a Democratic state senator in South Carolina - had recently sponsored a bill to make body cameras mandatory for all the state's police officers.


Ballymena United manager David Jeffrey has boosted his squad by signing midfielders Michael Gault and Stephen McAlorum, plus defender Emmet Friars.

Gault joins the Sky Blues after leaving Crusaders and has also formerly played for Linfield and Portadown.
Ex-Donegal Celtic player McAlorum was recently released by Glentoran, while Friars spent last season with Ards.
Defender Caolan Loughran has signed a new two-year deal and Allan Jenkins has been offered a new contract.
The three new recruits to the Showgrounds outfit have all agreed one-year deals.
"Supporters could see that evidently we strove last season to give youth a chance, but also as important is to strike a balance between youth and experience," said Ballymena manager David Jeffrey.
"Significantly we also wanted to add experience, not just in terms of playing in big matches, but also in winning trophies.
"Obviously this year we won our first, and got to Europe, and now we want to cement that achievement by adding experienced players such as the three we've brought in."
The Braidmen announced earlier in the week that they would be releasing six players, including forward Darren Henderson.


An "extremely dangerous" prisoner has been released early from a nine-year jail term after his sentence was recorded in error as nine months.

Ralston Dodd, 25, was jailed in November after he admitted stabbing a man three times in the back following an argument on a north London street.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said such releases in error were "extremely rare" and it was investigating.
A warrant for Dodd's arrest has been issued.
Dodd attacked a 21-year-old man with a knife in Islington on 18 September 2016, before going on the run.
He was arrested on 11 October and was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment at Blackfriars Crown Court on 11 November after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
After his sentencing, Det Insp Will Lexton-Jones said the inquiry had "ultimately led to an extremely dangerous offender being jailed".
He added: "This was an appalling act of violence that almost cost a man his life. The seriousness of this offence is reflected in the extensive prison sentence."
Dodd, from Islington, was being held in custody at HMP Thameside in south-east London before his release.
The Sun newspaper reported that after he was released he was spotted in a car by his victim.
His father told the newspaper his son "could have died" in the attack.
"I held my son and thought he was going to die. How can this happen without anyone noticing?," he said.
An MoJ spokeswoman said such releases in error are "extremely rare but we take any case very seriously".
"We are urgently investigating so we learn the lessons to prevent it happening again," she said.
"Public protection is our priority."
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said it wished to trace a man "for being unlawfully at large".


Passengers on three train companies across England are to see action by striking union members on Monday.

Northern staff are on the last day of a three-day strike, while Merseyrail staff are on strike for the day and also plan action on 23 July.
Southern workers plan to walk out on a one-day strike.
The RMT union is in dispute with the companies over driver-only-operated trains, which it says would be unsafe and lead to widespread job losses.
"The threat to abolish guards and introduce driver-only-operated trains is only part of the wider attack on rail services," said the RMT.
The union said the dispute is not about pay or conditions but strike action is over "concern about passenger safety".
In April RMT members demonstrated against the proposals and to mark the one-year anniversary of its dispute with Southern rail.
Sharon Keith, regional director at Northern, said: "We are doing everything we can to keep our customers on the move during the three days of industrial action affecting our network."
Northern said it expected to run more than 40% of its timetable and it would have additional rail replacement buses.
However, all services are expected to be extremely busy and travellers should allow extra time for their journeys, the company said.
Most services are to run between 7:00 and 19:00 BST with many routes winding down from late afternoon.
Merseyrail trains are to run from 07:00 to 19:00 but some stations will be closed. There will be no trains running on the Ellesmere Port, Hunts Cross and Kirkby lines.
Jan Chaudhry-van der Velde, managing director, said customers were urged to check before travelling.
He added: "The team has put together the best possible timetable that we can to provide a limited train service on both strike days."
According to Southern, the industrial action on 10 July is "not expected to have any further affect on services".
An ASLEF union driver overtime ban continues.


A woman had to be rescued from a mudbank on the River Hull after she became stuck.

The victim, aged in her 20s, was found up to her waist in the mud by firefighters called to the river near Great Union Street.
Emergency services had received the initial call at 01:18 BST and the woman was pulled out at 01:51.
The woman was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to Hull Royal Infirmary.
A Humberside Fire Service spokesman said she had had a lucky escape.
"It could have been a lot worse," he said. "An hour or two in the mud and cold at that time, you certainly wouldn't want to be left there until morning."
The next high tide, 6m (19.7ft) deep, was at 12:42 on Wednesday.
The fire service said it launched a river rescue from Kingswood, and used a sled, ladder and lines to pull the woman out, which took around 25 minutes.
The river Hull is tidal, leaving large mudbanks at low tide.


Friends of a woman whose body was found in a burning car have paid tribute to her as two men appeared in court charged with her murder.

Quyen Ngoc Nguyen, 29, a mother of one, was found by firefighters in the car in Shiney Row near Sunderland on Tuesday.
Stephen Unwin, 39, from Houghton, and William McFall, 50, from Blackpool, were remanded in custody by magistrates sitting at Newcastle Crown Court.
Nine friends of Ms Nguyen were in the public gallery at court.
Both Mr Unwin, of St Oswald's Terrace, and Mr McFall, of Waterloo Road, are due to appear at court again on Tuesday.
Some of Ms Nguyen's friends were wearing white cloth on their arms or around their heads while one of them carried a photograph of her.
Ms Nguyen, who was Vietnamese, lived in the Killingworth area.
Outside court, a female friend said: "She was the most beautiful and kind girl.
"Since she died, people have come from all over the UK, from Birmingham and London, everywhere, just to see her picture."
The friend said Ms Nguyen was working, having studied for an MBA in the UK.


US President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will try to "normalise US-Russia ties", the Kremlin has said, following a phone conversation between the two.

Mr Putin wished Mr Trump "success in implementing the election programme".
Mr Trump, who had praised Mr Putin in the election campaign, said he wanted an "enduring relationship with Russia".
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama said Mr Trump had told him he remained "committed to a strong Nato".
The Kremlin revealed Mr Trump and Mr Putin had discussed Syria and agreed that current Russian-US relations were "extremely unsatisfactory".

Trump's promises: Before and after
They also talked about the fact that 2017 marked 210 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the countries "which in itself should stimulate a return to pragmatic, mutually beneficial co-operation".
Mr Putin and Mr Trump had agreed to stay in touch by phone and arrange to meet in person at a later date, the Kremlin added.
The Kremlin did not make it clear who had initiated the phone call.
But Mr Trump's office said the Kremlin had called and that issues such as mutual threats and challenges, and strategic economic affairs, were discussed.
It said: "President-elect Trump noted to President Putin that he is very much looking forward to having a strong and enduring relationship with Russia and the people of Russia."
Mr Trump's election has seen a change in tone from Russia towards the US, with state TV channels quickly switching from claims of electoral fraud to hailing the triumph of the "man of the people".
The BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow says that Russia views America's new president as a pragmatist - a brash businessman that Russians can do business with.
Relations between the two countries have soured in recent years, despite President Obama starting his eight years in office by calling for a "reset" with one of the US' long-term rivals.
While Russia and the US have managed to work together on issues like North Korea and Iran, they have openly clashed on Syria.
Mr Obama has also condemned Russia's intervention on the side of pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine, while Russia's decision to grant whistleblower Edward Snowden asylum infuriated Washington.
Mr Trump's rival for the presidency was no better liked in Moscow. Hillary Clinton was sharply critical of Russia's 2011 parliamentary elections, leading President Putin to accuse her of fomenting the mass protests against him that followed.
Mr Obama met Mr Trump last week and, at a press conference on Monday, said the new president had "expressed a great interest in maintaining our core strategic relationships", including "strong and robust Nato" partnerships.
During the election campaign, Mr Trump had openly criticised those Nato members who he believed were not doing enough work within the organisation and had relied too heavily on the US.
Mr Obama was speaking ahead of a trip that takes in Germany, Greece and Peru.
He said he hoped Mr Trump would "look at the facts" of the nuclear deal agreed with Iran, an accord the president-elect has to this point resolutely opposed.
Mr Obama said he "absolutely" still had concerns about a Trump presidency and that there would be "certain elements of [Mr Trump's] temperament that will not serve him well unless he recognises them".
But he said there was "enormous continuity" in the US presidency and he believed the US would remain a "pillar of strength and a beacon of hope to peoples around the globe".
Mr Trump will succeed Mr Obama in the White House on 20 January.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called on city leaders to make "tough decisions" in order to provide safe and sustainable cities in the future.

Mr Ban made his remarks in an address at the UN Habitat III conference that is only held once every 20 years.
Many urban areas, which are home to more than half of the world population, continue to grow unplanned and unregulated, experts warn.
An estimated 35,000 people attended the three-day gathering in Quito, Ecuador.
"Mayors are at the forefront of the battle for sustainability," Mr Ban told an audience at the world assembly of mayors, which was being held at the Habitat III conference.
"You are faced with the immediate daily demands of your people; for housing, transport, infrastructure and sustainable urban development."
But, he added, they also had to "make the tough decisions on what issues to prioritise" because they had to operate within tight budgets.
Mr Ban told the city leaders and politicians that they were at the heart of delivering global agreements, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement.
"Take strong ownership of this vital agenda - stand up for the people you represent," he urged them.
The conference, which the UN described as one of the largest in the organisation's history, was focused on adopting a blueprint that would help shape and deliver urban development over the next 20 years.
The New Urban Agenda recognised that urbanisation had to be seen as a tool for development in the 21st Century, explained Joan Clos, UN Habitat's executive director and the conference's secretary general.
He said that recent events, such as the global financial crisis and the urban revolts during the Arab Spring, had highlighted the importance of sustainable urban development.
"It's a proposal to revisit urbanisation," Dr Clos observed, "and avoid the mistakes that have been developing in the past 20 years.
"When we look at the statistics, (where) the level of planned organisation has decreased, the quality of the planning has also decreased.
"That has created a very deadly situation where a lot of people are suffering in many cities for a lack of urban design, a lack of adequate management and a lack of urban finances. We need to recover that," he said.
He said there was a need to go "back to basics" and called on delegates not to see the document as a new agenda but to see it as a blueprint for the "forgotten agenda".
Habitat III is formally known as the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development.
It is the third in a series of global gatherings that are held once every 20 years. The first was staged in Vancouver, Canada in 1976, and the second was hosted by Istanbul, Turkey, in 1996.
During that time, the world's human population has shifted from being a rural population to being an urban one, with an estimated 54% of people now living in urban areas. Projections forecast that percentage is set to reach 66% by the middle of this century.
In 1950, less than one-in-three people lived in urban areas. The world had just two so-called "megacities" with populations in excess of 10 million: New York and Tokyo. Today, there are more than 20.
Greater Tokyo, the world's biggest urban area, has expanded from 13 million residents in 1950, to today's figure of 38 million.
It is estimated that almost 200,000 people each day are moving to urban areas. Developing nations are shouldering the vast majority of this burden, leaving them struggling to cope with the huge influx of people. Some cities' populations are 40 times larger than what they were in 1950.
This has resulted in the rapid expansion of unplanned and unregulated "slums" on the edge of cities.
Organisers of the Habitat III conference observed: "It is now well understood that slums and the related informal settlements are a spontaneous form of urbanisation, consisting of a series of survival strategies by the urban poor, most borne out of poverty and exclusion."
The adoption of the New Urban Agenda by delegates from 167 nations on Thursday is an attempt to reverse the "legacy of the 20th Century": uncontrolled urbanisation and urban poverty.


Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis believes "there is fear that Barcelona will be eliminated" from the Champions League, and claims his side were treated unfairly at the Nou Camp.

Atletico lost Tuesday's quarter-final first leg 2-1, with goalscorer Fernando Torres sent off when they led 1-0.
Luis Suarez scored both home goals, but earlier appeared to kick Juanfran.
"I don't know what Barca players have to do to get sent off just like us," said Brazil left-back Luis.
Holders Barcelona, aiming to become the first team to win back-to-back Champions Leagues, take a slender advantage into the second leg at the Vicente Calderon next Wednesday.
Atletico scored a potentially valuable away goal through Torres, but the game turned when the Spain striker was sent off for two needless bookings inside seven minutes.
Atletico manager Diego Simeone was incensed by the decision of German referee Felix Brych, who also seemingly missed Suarez lashing out at Atletico right-back Juanfran near the byeline.

"We shouldn't have got the red card, it was totally unfair," said former Chelsea defender Luis.
"It is not easy to play against Barcelona in the Champions League. We know it is really dangerous if they go out in the quarter-finals. We have to play against everyone and everything.
"You can tell there is fear that Barca will be eliminated."
Luis acknowledged Atletico faced a "really difficult" task to reach the semi-finals but added: "We are still alive. It is possible."
Simeone said he was not "angry" with Torres, though the 32-year-old former Chelsea and Liverpool forward later apologised and took responsibility for his dismissal.


BBC News NI can reveal the route of next May's prestigious Giro d'Italia cycle race - ahead of the official launch next week.

There will be three stages to the race - a 22 km time trial around Belfast, a loop around the north coast and a cross border final stage.
The Giro d'Italia is one of cycling's three prestigious grand tours.
It is understood Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster is travelling to Milan next week for the official launch.
However, although cycle fans will be keen to try out the route, not everyone is happy.
Sinn FÃ©in has said it is disappointed that the race circuit ignores west Belfast.
The stages will take place in Northern Ireland from Friday 9 May to Sunday 11 May, 2014.
The Belfast route on Friday 9 May starts at Titanic Belfast and takes in the Newtownards Road, Stormont, Queen's Bridge, the Ormeau Road, Stranmillis and Belfast city centre.
The Saturday leg - a 218 km cycle - starts on Belfast's Antrim Road and goes to Antrim, Ballymena, Bushmills, the Giant's Causeway taking in the coastline from Cushendall to Larne on to Whitehead and Carrickfergus and back to Belfast.
On day three, Sunday, the final stage of the Ireland leg, the riders will embark on a 187km cross border section.
They will leave Armagh and travel to Richhill and Newtownhamilton before heading south, crossing the border at Forkhill en route to Dublin via Dundalk, Castlebellingham and Drogheda.
It is the first time the international event is beginning outside continental Europe.  The Northern Ireland Executive is paying Â£3m from Tourist Board, EU and Department of Enterprise (Deti) funds to host the event.
All the routes are preliminary at this stage, but they are unlikely to change.
Sinn FÃ©in MP Paul Maskey said he was disappointed that the circuit did not include west Belfast.
"The image of cyclists going up and down the Falls Road would send out a massive positive signal right across the world," he said.
"This is about advertising the city. This is about promoting the city, and nowhere else can do it better than the Falls Road, and I think it's a shame that Deti have excluded west Belfast from this competition.
"What we will see is all other parts of the city being touched and being seen world-wide, except west Belfast, and it is just not good enough. We will campaign to meet whoever we have to meet, to ensure this race comes to this part of the city."
Others are happier. Former champion cyclist Dave Kane cannot believe his luck. The time trial route will pass the front door of his bike shop on the Upper Newtownards Road in Belfast.
Mr Kane said: "I've been in Italy and I've seen the Giro and to get the Grand Depart here, it's unbelievable. The people here just don't know what this is going to be like. It's not to say you have a bunch of cyclists going through.
"These are the top pros in the world and they'll be here for roughly a week.
"They'll be out routing the stages and then you'll have the prologue which is the team time trial which goes past the door here and round Stormont and it's unbelievable for the people of Northern Ireland, for the tourism, for the economy to be able to support something like the Giro."
The Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France and the Vuelta a Espana are the most well known and prestigious Grand Tours for top cyclists.
The start of the 104-year-old Giro has traditionally taken place in Italy, but in recent times has been awarded to an outside country every two years.
Two of cycling's Grand Tours will make visits to Britain and Ireland next year, with the 2014 Tour de France starting in Yorkshire.


Scrum-half Rhys Webb says Wales will concentrate on themselves rather than England before their "massive" Six Nations meeting in Cardiff on Saturday.

Wales top the table on points difference after their 33-7 win in Italy while England narrowly beat France in their opener.
"There's a lot of talk about England and Ireland - they played some good rugby in the autumn," said Webb.
"Let everyone keep talking them up, we'll just go about our job."
Wales are dealing with a six-day turnaround in between matches while England have seven days between games.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We'll come back in on Tuesday and have a look at England but we'll be concentrating on ourselves," Webb told BBC Wales Sport.
He says the traditional rivalry between Wales and England is more for the supporters than the players.
"It's a massive fixture, a good one for the crowd and the fans.
"Personally it's good to play them at home, but I'm not going to get too carried away by Wales-England - it's just another game and the main focus is on ourselves."

Wales do not plan to issue any medical updates until Wednesday.
Fly-half after Dan Biggar was forced off in the break in Rome by a rib injury and George North finished the game limping because of a thigh problem, even though he sped clear for a 70-metre try set up by replacement number 10 Sam Davies.
"A couple of the boys need an extra day or two with the recovery, so I'm sure they'll get that," said Webb.
If Biggar is ruled out or coach Rob Howley opts for Davies at fly-half, Webb could find himself partnering a different Ospreys colleague at half-back.
Davies impressed with his second-half performance, one of the four caps he has earned off the bench.
"You've got two world-class 10 there," said Webb.
"I thought Dan was exceptional when he was on and Sam exactly the same."
Howley is scheduled to name his team on Thursday.


Rival coaches in South Korea's women's league have threatened to boycott the new season if Seoul City striker Park Eun-Seon does not have a gender test.

Park was top scorer in the league with 19 goals in 22 games as Seoul City finished second in the 2013 season.
The Korea Football Association said Park, 26, passed a gender test at 15.
I've worked so hard to get to this point and I will not give up easily
"We have no intention of accepting the gender verification test just to stop the boycott," said Seoul Sports Council general secretary Kim Joon-Soo.
"But if it is needed for Park to compete in an international game and under specific regulations of Fifa, we will consider it."
It is not the first time the South Korea international's gender has been questioned, with the most recent occasion coming before the 2010 AFC Women's Asian Cup, when host nation China raised the issue. She was not selected by South Korea for the tournament.
"This is a serious violation of human rights that she's suffering for a second time. The question regarding Park's gender identity shall never be raised again. The city of Seoul will take all necessary measures to protect our player's human rights," Kim added.
Writing on her Facebook page Park, who played at the 2003 World Cup, 2004 Olympics and 2005 Asian Games, said she felt "humiliated" by the row.
Demanding a gender examination on a person is a serious human rights violation
"I have gone through the gender examination thing several times. I did it in a World Cup, in an Olympics and in several others and there were no problems," she added.
"I've worked so hard to get to this point, and I will not give up easily. I know what these people are trying to do, and I won't fall down."
The boycott threat was made by coaches from six of the seven WK-League sides, and they also asked the Korea Women's Football Federation (KWFF) to bar Park from playing until her gender is verified.
But her club responded: "Demanding a gender examination on a person is a serious human rights violation that insults someone's character."
On Thursday, one of the six coaches who sent the original request to the KWFF expressed regret and said he was resigning, although he insisted the coaches' motives had been misunderstood and that they had been joking.
The most high-profile case of sporting gender tests in recent years was that of South Africa's Caster Semenya following her victory in the women's 800m at the 2009 World Athletics Championships.


Police are searching for the vandals who damaged what one local rabbi said was nearly 500 headstones at a Jewish graveyard in Philadelphia.

Money is being raised to repair the graves and to identify and prosecute the apparently anti-Semitic attackers.
The vandalism comes less than a week after a Jewish cemetery near St Louis, Missouri, was defaced.
On Monday morning, more than a dozen Jewish Community Centers (JCC) in the US received telephone bomb threats.
The threats were made to JCC locations in Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
In a statement, the JCC's David Posner said that government officials "must speak out - and speak out forcefully - against this scourge of anti-Semitism impacting communities across the country".
"Actions speak louder than words. Members of our community must see swift and concerted action from federal officials to identify and capture the perpetrator or perpetrators who are trying to instill anxiety and fear in our communities," the statement read.
Later on Monday, US Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the recent bomb threats against Jewish groups are "unacceptable" and a "very serious and destructive practice".
A man visiting his father's grave at Philadelphia's Mount Carmel Cemetery on Sunday called police after finding that approximately 100 headstones had been knocked over.
"I'm hoping it was maybe just some drunk kids," Aaron Mallin told WPVI-TV.
He added that it was "very disheartening" to find the damaged graves, and that he hopes that the vandalism was not motivated by anti-Semitism.
"But the fact that there's so many, it leads one to think it could have been targeted," Mr Mallin said about cemetery, which dates back to the mid-1800s.
Many of the headstones had been toppled over, and some had cracked in half.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that three adjacent Christian cemeteries were left undamaged.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney denounced the attackers, saying, "my heart breaks for the families who found their loved ones' headstones toppled... Hate is not permissible in Philadelphia."
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon posted a statement on Twitter saying, "#Philadelphia Jewish cemetery desecration is shocking and a source of worry. Full confidence #US authorities catch and punish culprits."
Thousands of dollars have been raised to pay for the repairs and another $13,000 offered as a reward to catch the perpetrators.
On Saturday morning residents of a Buffalo suburb awoke to find bridges, cars, and a school playground defaced with anti-Semitic words and symbols.
At the daily press briefing White House spokesman Sean Spicer said that President Donald Trump "continues to be deeply disappointed and concerned about the reports of further vandalism at... Jewish cemeteries."
"The president continues to condemn these and any other forms of anti-Semitic and hateful acts in the strongest terms," Mr Spicer added.
President Trump has been accused by some inter-faith and tolerance charity groups of not responding forcefully enough to these and other hate attacks, which watchdog groups say are happening with increased frequency.
The FBI is currently investigating over 50 hoax bomb threats phoned into Jewish Community Centres in at least 26 states since the beginning of January.
"Mr. President, it's time for you to deliver a prime-time nationally televised speech, live from the Oval Office, on how you intend to combat not only #Antisemitism but also Islamophobia and other rising forms of hate," the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect wrote on Twitter after the Philadelphia vandalism.
After several days of silence, Mr Trump denounced the vandalism of the Chesed Shel Emeth cemetery in St Louis, where about 150 graves were desecrated last week.
Vice-president Mike Pence also visited the St Louis graveyard, where he denounced the "vile act of vandalism" and said "there's no place in America for hatred or acts of prejudice or violence or anti-Semitism".


A £2m project to expand a museum telling the story of a Roman outpost in the Borders has gained council backing.

The scheme would see the Trimontium Museum in Melrose's Ormiston Institute more than double in size.
The Trimontium Trust is seeking support from a range of organisations to take the project forward.
Scottish Borders Council is to provide a capital contribution of £60,000 and officer time worth £63,000.
Trimontium, meaning the place of three hills, was the site of a large frontier fort for the Romans which was set up in the first and second centuries AD.
It lasted for about 100 years and the museum tells the story of its rise and fall.
Council leader David Parker said it was a worthwhile investment.
"The design is incredible, it is a very good-quality design," he said.
"It will allow a proper display in a modern setting of the Roman artefacts.
"They will certainly attract a great deal of interest if the whole collection can be shown."
Mr Parker said it was a question of allowing the trust to build upon the interest it had already generated.
"The team behind it already do tremendous work in their existing space and with their walks but it is very limited," he said.
"The new museum will allow them much better accommodation to display all the things that they have."


Peru's President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski has launched a crackdown on corruption in the government, in the wake of allegations against a health adviser.

The measures include one that would bar employees convicted of corruption from ever returning to a state job.
A leaked tape appeared to show adviser Carlos Moreno plotting to "mine" the system for personal gain. He denies wrongdoing and says he was framed.
A recent poll showed an eight-point fall in approval for the president.
Sunday's Ipsos poll registered a drop from 63% to 55% in Mr Kuczynski's rating since the scandal involving Mr Moreno broke. The adviser has resigned from his post.
Mr Kuczynski made a televised statement on Monday saying that corruption was a historical structural problem for the country.
He said that under his new scheme, which would be implemented immediately, "anyone who has been convicted of corruption can never return to work in the state".
Mr Kuczynski also ordered a thorough review of the presidential office.
He would also set up a council of state, in which he would join the president of Congress and the head of the judiciary in overseeing the fight against corruption in key institutions.
In the Ipsos poll of 1,289 respondents, only 39% believed the government was committed to tackling corruption.
The findings were a setback to Mr Kuczynski, 78, who had seen his ratings rise since June's narrow presidential election run-off victory against Keiko Fujimori.


A popular scheme allowing drivers to park for free in Chester city centre after 15:00 could be scrapped as it causes "pressure" on rush-hour traffic.

Cheshire West and Chester Council has launched a consultation on whether to end its "Free After Three" scheme.
Businesses in the city have complained that reintroducing parking charges would hit their trade.
The council says "better alternatives" may be developed during a 12-week consultation period which is under way.
The proposals are part of a new parking strategy drawn up for the local authority by consultants, designed to ensure "better quality" and "sustainable" parking.
Labour councillor Karen Shore said: "No decisions have been taken yet, but we believe that some of the alternative proposals will actually be better in terms of the experience for shoppers and the footfall for businesses."
The strategy recommends replacing the "Free After Three" scheme with bus discounts and shorter periods of free parking to "encourage trade throughout the day".
Free parking would also be scrapped in nearby Ellesmere Port, where it is said to be having "only a limited effect" in boosting the economy.
Christian Bartley, from Back Alley Music in Chester, said reintroducing evening parking charges would "take away even more customers for us".
"I was gobsmacked," he added. "It's just going to make it even harder for us to keep our customers coming here."


Professional rugby union in Scotland could end if there is no European competition next season, fears former national captain Andy Nicol.

English and French clubs intend to break away from the Heineken Cup and create their own tournament.
"It could well be the end of professional rugby in Scotland if the competition wasn't to go ahead," Nicol told BBC Scotland.
"I don't think you can fill a hole of that amount with anything else."
Let's get qualification sorted out and based on a meritocracy and then the distribution of revenues is for the boardrooms
The Scottish Rugby Union currently receives about £5m per year for Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh's participation in the Heineken Cup.
European Rugby Cup (ERC), which has run the Heineken Cup since it began in 1995, wants to re-open negotiations about the tournament's future but English Premiership and French Top 14 clubs insist they will not attend talks planned by the organising body next month.
They will quit the competition at the end of the season, citing factors such as their view that the Heineken Cup structure favours teams from the Pro12, which is made up of sides from Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Italy, and distribution of revenue.
Nicol, who won the Heineken Cup with Bath in 1998, insists that arguments over the tournament format is a repetitive issue and he hopes "common sense" will prevail for the good of the game in Scotland.
"It happens every few years," he told BBC Scotland. "The English and the French flex their collective muscles when the contract is coming to an end.
"But this year, it's very different, because they've got a television deal on the table and it's a real clear and present danger.
"I think there's an acceptance that the current format of the Heineken Cup will cease and there will be a new competition.

"Then we just need to ensure and hope that Scotland are heavily involved in it."
Nicol conceded that the main stumbling block for advancing discussions was the perception that Celtic nations are favoured in the qualification process.
At present, Ireland and Wales each have three sides guaranteed a place, while Scotland and Italy have two apiece.
Nicol believes the English and French unions want to put a stop to automatic qualification, which could bring about the end of lucrative revenue for Glasgow and Edinburgh, although ending guaranteed entry may be necessary to ensure the future of a pan-European competition.
The former Scotland captain said if the tournament comes to an end it would be "a sporting disaster" adding that "the Heineken Cup has been a fantastic competition".
He added: "Where it's flawed is in the qualification. I don't think the two Scottish sides and the Italian sides or the Irish sides should qualify automatically.
"So let's get qualification sorted out and based on a meritocracy and then the distribution of revenues is for the boardrooms.
"There's a bit of posturing from both sides, but I just hope it's a bit of brinksmanship and they get around the table and sort something out - and we get a competition.
"It might not be the Heineken Cup as we call it now, but hopefully we'll get something like it."


Essex and England all-rounder Ravi Bopara has signed a new two-year deal with the club.

The 30-year-old topped Essex's batting charts in the 2015 One-Day Cup, scoring 301 runs at an average of 75.25.
He also played 12 County Championship matches this summer and headed their bowling averages in the T20 Blast, with 19 wickets at a cost of 16.11 each.
Bopara played the most recent of his 120 one-day internationals in the 2015 World Cup against Afghanistan.
Essex finished third in Division Two of the Championship, but Bopara believes new cricket committee chairman Ronnie Irani can change the direction of the side.
"The club is making some changes with Ronnie on board," he told the club website.
"I've played a lot under Ronnie, I know him very well, and I'm trusting him to get things the way we all want here at Essex.
"We're a team that should be competing and performing at a higher level than we are. I think we can achieve that with a couple of new signings and I'm confident that the club will get that right."


Leaders of 27 European Union countries meet in the Slovak capital Bratislava on Friday - without the UK - to discuss a post-Brexit EU.

Some believe the meeting could reveal an ideological split between old and new, between the established order of Europe's more federalist west and a "counter-revolution" spearheaded by conservative nationalists and populists in the east.
Divisions over the migrant crisis, observers say, could show the true depth of the schism.
Poland's Beata Szydlo has two roles. As Poland's prime minister, she represents 40 million people, many - like herself - devout Catholics.
But Poland also holds the rotating chair of the Visegrad Group, an informal alliance of four Central European countries. So in a sense she speaks for the whole region.
Visegrad, says Mrs Szydlo, has "enormous potential" and "a recipe for the EU" to bring it closer to its disenchanted citizens in the wake of Brexit. That recipe, she says, will be unveiled in Bratislava.
But what is that recipe? What binds these four countries, beyond a penchant for smoked meats and sour cream?
In a sense Mrs Szydlo is merely the waitress. She takes her orders from the master chef toiling away in the kitchen; Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the frosty head of Poland's ultra-conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS).
He is adamant that neither Poland nor the rest of Europe should take orders from Germany, especially on the migrant crisis. Instead, he says, more power should be devolved to the EU's national parliaments.
"Should we wait for the strongest to act? But as a matter of fact there is only one such strongest," Mr Kaczynski told a recent economic forum in the Polish town of Krynica, in a veiled reference to Poland's western neighbour.
"Or should we take the initiative? I am in favour of taking the initiative.
"For this counter-revolution to be conclusive, there must be some changes in the EU itself, its structure, its decision-making process," he went on.
Many EU colleagues will bridle at that suggestion; Warsaw has received a formal warning from the European Commission over judicial reforms seen as a threat to the rule of law.

Migrant vote sparks Hungarian poster war
The castle where a Central European bloc was born
Sitting beside Mr Kaczynski was Viktor Orban, Hungary's outspoken, firebrand leader. If Mr Kaczynski is the sous chef of the "cultural counter-revolution" being cooked up in Warsaw and Budapest, Mr Orban is very much the chef de cuisine.
"Brexit is a fantastic opportunity for us," said Mr Orban, who has expressed his wish for Hungary to become an "illiberal" state and speaks openly of hordes of Muslim migrants besieging Christian Central Europe.
"We are at a historic cultural moment," said Mr Orban. "There is a possibility of a cultural counter-revolution right now." Hungary will hold a controversial referendum on 2 October, when voters will be asked whether the country should reject binding EU refugee quotas.
In Prague, the menu is stodgy at times, but less likely to induce heartburn. The Czechs also reject EU migrant quotas, and agree with their Visegrad colleagues on the need to increase security and strengthen the EU's external borders.
But the Czech tone is far less confrontational (with the exception of the openly Islamophobic President Milos Zeman). There is little appetite here - at least inside the cabinet - for abandoning liberal democracy just yet.
"We know very well things we agree on - and these we defend vigorously. But from the very beginning, 26 years ago, we also agreed to disagree," the Czech State Secretary for EU Affairs, Tomas Prouza, told the BBC.
"So we never draw bad blood by trying to force any of the Visegrad Four countries to accept something they are not comfortable with. This makes us strong, because we focus on things we consider crucial for the region. And then we are free to pursue other issues separately if needed," said Mr Prouza, the prime mover behind Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka's EU policy.
Which brings us to Slovakia's Robert Fico. It is his restaurant - at least until Christmas, when his country relinquishes the presidency of the EU. He called this informal EU meeting (it is not a "summit" because not everyone has been invited), and it is the first outside Brussels in many years.
Prime Minister Fico too often reaches for the hot sauce. He thundered that Slovakia would not accept "one single Muslim migrant" and has mounted a legal challenge to the EU refugee quota scheme.
But like his Czech counterpart, Mr Fico is a pragmatist - acutely aware of the risk of angering or alienating big, powerful countries and the European Commission. Weakened by political scandal at home and a recent double heart bypass, he is keen for Friday's banquet at Bratislava Castle to be a success.
"The Slovak EU presidency will not associate itself with anything like that [the Orban-Kaczynski 'counter-revolution']", said Milan Nic, research director at Bratislava's Globsec Policy Institute.
"The Czechs are neighbours of Germany, and they're very worried by the rhetoric coming out of Budapest and Warsaw," he told the BBC.
"Also, remember, Mr Orban will be alone in Bratislava. The partner on the Polish side will be the very weak PM, Mrs Szydlo.
"Messages were passed behind closed doors at the Visegrad summit... not to disrupt Bratislava. I think it is now understood."


The Zika virus is "scarier" than first thought and its impact on the US could be greater than predicted, public health officials have admitted.

A wider range of birth defects has been linked to the virus, said Dr Anne Schuchat of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
And the mosquitoes that carry the virus could travel to more US states than previously thought, she said.
The current Zika outbreak began almost a year ago in Brazil.
It has been linked to thousands of birth defects there and has spread widely through the Americas.
"Most of what we've learned is not reassuring," said Dr Schuchat at White House briefing on Monday.
"Everything we know about this virus seems to be scarier than we initially thought."
Earlier this year, US President Obama asked the US Congress for $1.8bn (Â£1.25bn) in emergency funding to combat the virus.
In the meantime it has been using money totalling $589m left over from the Ebola virus fund.

That was a temporary stopgap and inadequate to get the job done, said Dr Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health.
The US now needs more money to fight the mosquitoes and to fund better research into vaccines and treatments, he said.
"When the president asked for $1.9 billion, we needed $1.9 billion."
He said there had been recent discoveries about how destructive Zika appeared to be to foetal brains.
There were also reports of rare neurologic problems in adults, he said.
The CDC announced that Puerto Rico is to receive $3.9m in emergency Zika funding as the number of cases there doubles every week.
In February, the first US case of locally transmitted Zika was reported in Dallas, Texas - spread through sexual contact, not a mosquito bite.


Sir Arnold Clark, the founder of Britain's biggest independent group of car dealerships, has died at the age of 89.

The billionaire was born in Glasgow, where he set up his first showroom in 1954.
A statement said he had passed away peacefully, "surrounded by his family".
It added that Sir Arnold, who was knighted in 2004, was "an inspiration" and said "the family will continue to carry on his vision".
He was confirmed as Britain's first billionaire car dealer in the Sunday Times Rich List in 2016.
The company which bears Sir Arnold's name has 200 dealerships across the UK, with more than 18,000 new and used cars in stock. It posted profits of £107.2m in 2014 on sales of £3.2bn.
Sir Arnold founded the business after leaving the Royal Air Force in the early 1950s.
He used his demob money to buy a Morris Ten-Four for just £70. Having restored the car to its former glory and sold it on for a profit, he began to buy and sell cars.
His first showroom was in Glasgow's Park Road.
A statement from his family said: "Sir Arnold Clark passed away peacefully this morning surrounded by his family. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and a great friend and employer to many.
"He was an inspiration and the family will continue to carry on his vision. He will be greatly missed."
His company, Arnold Clark Automobiles, said it was saddened to announce the passing of its founder and chairman.
In a statement it said: "Sir Arnold was a truly inspirational business leader and influential public figure.
"His unsurpassed work ethic and strong family values led him to build a market-leading automotive retailer that continues to go from strength to strength.
"Sir Arnold's entrepreneurial ideals continue to be at the heart of the business.
"His personal philosophies will continue to inspire everybody who works in the business, and will be the cornerstone of its future growth and continuing success."
It added: "Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.


Scientists say they can now explain what happened to Knut, the famous polar bear that drowned at Berlin Zoo in 2011.

A new investigation has shown that he had a type of autoimmune inflammation of the brain that is also recognised in humans.
Researchers hope this knowledge can help both human and animal sufferers.
Knut became an international celebrity, after being abandoned by his mother and then hand-raised by a zookeeper.
For a while, he was the most recognisable bear on the planet, with his face featuring regularly on TV and in newspapers, and even on the front cover of an edition of Vanity Fair magazine.
His death was as public as his life. Knut experienced a seizure and collapsed into his enclosure's moat - right in front of the many zoo visitors who had come to see him - and never regained consciousness.
The necropsy established he had encephalitis, a brain inflammation, but the investigating scientists could find no reason for it.
They suspected some kind of infection, however all pathogen screening drew a blank.
It was an expert in human disorders that had the first inkling as to what the root cause might be.
Dr Harald Pruess, from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, treats patients with a condition known as anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.
He recognised some commonalities in Knut's post mortem reports, and further tests on preserved brain samples from the bear confirmed the connection.
"The disease which we have now identified as the cause of death is an autoimmune inflammation of the brain," the neurologist told reporters.
"Antibodies that normally help to defend us against viruses or bacteria can obviously under certain circumstances turn against their own body and attack nerve cells.
"In the most common autoimmune encephalitis, these antibodies bind to a glutamate receptor in the brain called NMDA receptor and cause seizures, cognitive impairment, psychosis or coma."
In humans, anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis affects about one in 200,000 people a year, mostly women.
It is quite often seen in patients with ovarian cancer. The same antibodies produced to fight the tumour will also attach to the brain cell receptor.  An unfortunate case of "friendly fire", as Dr Pruess put it.
Knut is the first non-human subject in which anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis has been demonstrated, and in their paper, published in the journal Scientific Reports, the researchers say it is very probably far more common than previously assumed - not just in captive or domesticated animals, but also in the wild.
In humans, the disease is treatable. Patients are given steroids and undergo what is known as plasmapheresis to remove the responsible antibodies from their blood.
Co-author Prof Alex Greenwood, from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin, said similar therapy could now be developed for animals.
He told BBC News: "Pretty much every aspect of Knut's life was played out in the public sphere.
"And reflecting on it now, we're very happy to reach the point where we can end the story by saying why he died.
"There's some closure. Closure for him, but it opens up possibilities for other animals. He will be the trigger for research that may help not just other polar bears but other wild and captured animals as well."
And both Prof Greenwood and Dr Pruess said they hoped the publicity surrounding Knut would raise awareness of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis in the medical profession, ensuring human patients were diagnosed and treated promptly.

A magnificent century from captain Misbah-ul-Haq put Pakistan in a strong position in the first Test before a late England counter-attack on an attritional first day.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Misbah, 42, has never before played a Test at Lord's, but his unbeaten 110 appeared to have steered his side to a strong position.
But two late wickets from Chris Woakes to add to the pair he took before lunch gave England hope after they had lost the toss and toiled in the field.
This was Pakistan's first match at Lord's since the spot-fixing scandal of 2010, and it was fitting that Misbah, who has done so much to rehabilitate the team since that crisis, was the hero of their return.
He celebrated his landmark by dropping to the turf and pushing out 10 press-ups, his team-mates applauding from the pavilion balcony as the rest of the ground rose to him.
While his fine partnership of 148 with Asad Shafiq was ended by the persevering Woakes three overs before the close, nightwatchman Rahat Ali then falling for a duck to the final ball of the day, the tourists will resume on Friday morning well placed on 282-6.
'Misbah presses case for rising Pakistan'
Media playback is not supported on this device
After Woakes had got rid of Pakistan's opening pair, both caught by Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball's first Test wicket - Azhar Ali trapped lbw by a full in-swinger - had seen Pakistan reduced to 77-3.
It brought skipper Misbah together with 39-year-old Younus Khan, giving the partnership a combined age of 81.
And as the pair have so many times before, they first held the England attack at bay and then, with infinite patience, began to take control.
Misbah's half-century came up off 81 balls, and while progress had been slow after lunch - 36 runs were scored in the first hour - acceleration came as England's attack wearied through the long afternoon.
Younus had looked untroubled before clipping an innocuous delivery from Stuart Broad straight to Moeen Ali at midwicket for 33.
But Misbah pushed on, his one big scare coming from a misjudged single when Gary Ballance's throw from close in missed the stumps at the striker's end with the batsman metres short of his ground.
As he had in the series last winter the captain attacked the spin of Moeen after tea, taking him for 16 runs in five balls with two conventional swept fours and two reverse-sweeps.
His century came up with a single run away down to third man, from 154 balls and in approaching four hours, making him the oldest man to hit a Test ton since 45-year-old Patsy Hendren in 1934.

With James Anderson ruled out by the selectors as he recovers from injury, Nottinghamshire's Ball became the 671st man to play Test cricket for England, and on a flattish pitch he immediately impressed.
Taking the new ball with county team-mate Broad, he thought he had Shan Mashood's wicket with his second delivery, only for the lbw referral to confirm umpire Joel Wilson's original decision that the ball had pitched just outside leg stump.
Bowling close to 90mph at times, his first spell of six overs went for 22 runs, and when he returned after lunch he trapped Azhar with a ball just clipping the edge of leg stump.
As the ball softened and what little spice there was in the pitch leached away, he found life harder in the afternoon, ending the day with figures of 1-51 off 19 overs.
But it was Steven Finn who once again struggled the most, his rhythm off and his pace down as he went wicketless for 86 runs from 21 overs.
With Moeen all too easy to score runs off - his seven overs cost 46 as Misbah targeted him - it was left to Woakes to carry the threat.
The Warwickshire seamer's dismissal of Shafiq with the second new ball for 73, edging an attempted leave behind to Bairstow, gave England late cheer before Rahat slashed wildly to throw away his own wicket.

Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott on Test Match Special:
It was interesting from the point of view that the scene ebbed and flowed. Pakistan were in trouble and Misbah got them out of it.
But if you ask me from the whole day what do I remember, it's nothing. It was a bit like chess all day.
The pitch was good, the sun shone, the outfield was fast. It looked good for batting.
Their batting line-up is quite fragile. If you were a bowler would you fancy their top order? Yes.
You feel Finn is still running in through glue, chocolate or mud. He tries really hard, and it's like we're waiting for him to catch fire and do well.
Woakes is by far the best bowler. He's got pace; he shapes it out when nobody else has moved it much.
Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq: "We're in a good position. We really want to score another 100 runs to give us a good chance.
"I'm really disappointed that Asad Shafiq missed out on scoring a hundred at the home of cricket. He has been an outstanding player for us at number six.
"A lot of things have been said about my technique and the outside edge, and the celebration... I promised the guys.
"We had an army camp before the tour and every time we had to get down and do 10 press-ups. Those in my celebration can't count because my arm was bent!"
England debutant Jake Ball: "I was pretty relaxed and managed to get a decent night's kip.
"To get the first ball down and somewhere near was nice and the second ball looked pretty adjacent from where I was.
"I really enjoyed my wicket. When he reviewed it, I was nervous because it looked like it was sliding down but to see it clipping leg stump was really nice.
"Those last two wickets were massive and picked us up bit and given us a bit of buzz if we come tomorrow and get couple early right in game.
"If we can get them out for 350, we have batsmen who can score runs at a decent rate."

Talks on Iran's nuclear programme have entered their "endgame", Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has said.

Negotiators from six world powers are attempting to strike a deal with Iran to restrict its nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief.
The parties have set a deadline of the end of March to reach an agreement.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that progress was being made.
Mr Steinmeier said as he arrived in the Swiss city of Lausanne for the talks: "These are decisive days before us after nearly 12 years of negotiations with Iran.
"The endgame of the long negotiations has begun."
After meeting Mr Steinmeier and French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, Mr Zarif said: "I think we can in fact make the necessary progress to be able to resolve all the issues and start writing them down in a text that will become the final agreement."
He has already met US Secretary of State John Kerry in Lausanne.
Mr Fabius added a note of caution, saying: "We have moved forward on certain points, but on others not enough."
Britain, China and Russia are expected to join them over the weekend, with comprehensive talks due Sunday.
They have set themselves a deadlines of 31 March for a political framework agreement and 30 June for a final deal.
Iran insists its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes but world powers fear it has military ambitions.
Some of the most contentious issues remain unresolved, says the BBC's Barbara Plett Usher.
Potential sticking points in the nuclear talks are thought to include the pace at which sanctions would be lifted, how long the deal will last and how much of Iran's nuclear facilities will be open to inspection.


Reading winger Garath McCleary (knee and abdomen) is in contention to return after missing the win against Wolves.

Jordon Mutch and George Evans will compete for midfield spots with Joey van den Berg and John Swift.
Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez is confident striker Dwight Gayle is over his hamstring injury.
The Spaniard has no fresh injury problems, with only long-term absentees Isaac Hayden (ankle) and Rolando Aarons unavailable for the league leaders.
Reading manager Jaap Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire:
"It's going to be a hard game. Newcastle have got a lot of quality within their squad.
"Rafael Benitez has about 50 players, but that's what happens if you're working at a big club with the funds to make a good team.
"We're going to work very hard to get a result, as we want to work hard for the fans and to stay up towards the top of the table."
Tim Dellor, BBC Radio Berkshire
Reading have the best home record in the Championship, having only lost twice at the Madejski Stadium.
Newcastle are the best team away from home in the Championship, with 13 wins on the road. Something has to give in this one.
Reading were not convincing in their win against Wolves on Saturday. They probably need another four wins from their remaining 11 games to seal a play-off spot.
Newcastle have forged a five-point lead over Brighton at the top, and anything other than automatic promotion is now unthinkable for their fans.
One of the big talking points at Reading in the past couple of weeks has been the low attendances, despite the excellent results. Stam and his team will enjoy playing in front of a full house.
