Jose is not particularly happy. “I know it was a couple of millimetres, but the goal-line technology doesn’t make mistakes like the VAR makes, so it was not a goal. The Tottenham performance - separate from the referee and VAR decisions, because I prefer not to comment - was good. We started very very well. Immediately we had a situation after a couple of minutes. They put long balls in the box and one or two crosses and set plays, it is impossible to be always dominant against them. In the second half it was more 50-50, but we tried with the ammunition we have. We tried to bring energy and more depth from midfield with Gedson, and more quality with Eriksen, and we were two millimetres from winning the match. There are various decisions that I leave for the pundits and the specialists, I prefer not to speak. I think we deserve to win this match, to lose would be too much of a punishment for the boys.”

Despite the penalty miss, that’s a decent point for Watford against a side who rarely give them anything. They’re up to 16th, for a couple of hours at least, on 23 points, two clear of the dropzone. Spurs may not be so chuffed: they’re eight points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, in seventh place. That gap could become 11 if the Blues win at Newcastle this evening. Jose Mourinho hasn’t delivered much of a honeymoon bounce, something that goes a fair way to explaining the grim look on his grid as he walked off. Nigel Pearson by contrast was both happy and clappy.

61st over: South Africa 154-5 (Nortje 18, de Kock 36) With England needing a wicket, Ben Stokes puts his cape on for the first time in the innings. His first over is a quiet one, with everything played comfortably by de Kock.

60th over: South Africa 153-5 (Nortje 18, de Kock 35) Another harmless over from Root. I suppose this passage of play is a reminder of how well England - or rather Dom Bess - did to pick up the first five wickets so cheaply.

Turkish president calls for support of Sarraj ahead of crucial talks in Berlin

The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has warned Europe it could face new threats from terrorist organisations if Libya’s UN-recognised government in Tripoli were to fall.

In an article in Politico, published on the eve of a Libya peace conference in Berlin, Erdoğan said the EU’s failure to adequately support the Government of National Accord (GNA) would be “a betrayal of its own core values, including democracy and human rights”.

The actor, 68, on dreaming of being a diplomat, smashing telephones with skill and the days before Marvel ruled the world

I intended to become a diplomat. That was my dream. I didn’t take acting seriously until I was 16 and got a role in a Swedish show that made me extremely famous right away. There were screaming girls, all that stuff. I’d never had any girl take an interest in me before that. Suddenly being a diplomat didn’t seem half as attractive as it had done.

My heroes growing up were politicians. The main one was Dag Hammarskjöld, a Swedish politician who was the secretary general of the United Nations. He was a real hero for peace to many of my generation. I idolised him.

Our ‘yoga-phobe’ was a nervous novice on a weekend retreat but leaves feeling more flexible, both physically and mentally

I approached the mindful pilates and yoga weekend in the West Sussex countryside with a fair degree of trepidation. I wasn’t even mindful of the difference between pilates and yoga, and then there was the dread of being locked into something I could not do and would have to endure rather than enjoy.

In preparation, my reading on the 90-minute train journey down from London to Arundel was Yoga for the Inflexible Male, by Roy Parvin (AKA Yoga Matt), with its call to “bring me your stiff, your deeply embarrassed, your previously yoga-phobic”. And its promise that if you work through the poses, “you’ll soon discover yoga isn’t so different from weight training, except your body’s the weight and you’re working more on balance, not bulking up”.

The Russian president has manipulated the levers of power to rule in perpetuity. That prospect is terrible for the west – and Russia

News that Vladimir Putin, Russia’s latter-day tsar, is making plans to cling to power indefinitely comes as no surprise. All the same, it is deeply worrying for Putin’s prey – principally the Russian people and the western democracies.

Putin, 67, has run Russia, as president and prime minister, for 21 years, a feat of political longevity surpassed only by Joseph Stalin. Like Stalin, he has made many enemies and caused untold misery along the way.
