hello. thursday will bring us a day of contrast across the uk. in the south, we're going to be feeling the impact of storm frederico, which is mainly down across france, bringing strong winds but still producing some wet and windy weather generally towards the south. brightest conditions across the north and north—east of the uk. but we're going to see some fog patches clearing to sunny spells later on. so we've got this area of low pressure moving across france. that's storm frederico and another weather front moving in to the west as well.

but really windy conditions for the isles of scilly, the channels isles. gusts could reach in excess of 50 miles per hour. some really heavy rain through the likes of the isle of wight, towards sussex, stretching up towards pembrokeshire for instance, as well through the morning. to the north of that, most places predominantly dry. there'll be some heavy showers just working in around the east coast of england, perhaps eastern scotland and later on some rain working into northern ireland from the west. but elsewhere, sunshine just breaking holes in the cloud and lifting gradually that morning mist and fog. but it could linger all day for some of the sheltered glens of scotland, so pretty chilly there. generally looking at temperatures of 6—12 degrees. through thursday evening and overnight, this weather front in the west starts to edge its way eastwards, tending to peter out as it does so. so still a few showers moving in from the west, but some clear spells as we move into friday morning. and it's going to be fairly chilly. in fact, we could see temperatures below freezing once again in the sheltered scottish glens. heading through friday, though, a small ridge of high pressure for a while tries to nudge in. so that will bring us a window of drier and brighter weather, too.

not completely dry. there'll be one or two showers perhaps around western parts of england, scotland and wales as well. further east, you're more likely to stay dry, i think on friday. cloud and rain moving into the far south—west later in the day. pretty chilly ahead of that, only about 5—12 degrees. and again, some mist and some fog possible. but head on into saturday and this area of low pressure moves in from the atlantic — a lot of isobars on that system — showing us that we're going to have a blustery day with some fairly heavy showers rotating around that area of low pressure. so i think nowhere immune to showers, probably drying up a little bit in the south later on in the day. but sticking with the heavy potentially thundery showers, but it's going to be milder, temperatures of 9—15 degrees. sunday, again, we've got the airfrom a milder direction. so not as cold saturday night into sunday. sunny spells, some heavy showers, could be the odd thunderstorm, temperatures around 10 to 14. bye— bye.

hello, welcome to sportsday. coming up on the programme — kohli rewrites the record books as india march onto their first world cup final since 2011. chelsea pay the penalty in madrid as emma hayes' first match since being announced as the new us women's head coach is a frustrating one. and rublev�*s racquet only hurts himself as the russian is beaten by carlos alcaraz at the world tour finals. hello again. one place to start — that's in mumbai. india produce a stunning performance to take ten wins in a row at the cricket world cup to book their place in sunday's final. virat kohli was at the heart of their victory against

new zealand, as he rewrote the record books with yet another century. joe wilson reports. there may be a billion people behind team india. there's just one captain. rohit sharma's deep responsibility, brushed off, like that. wow! his sixes propelled india's occasion. home conditions included a pitch in mumbai that suited them. all the batters excelled. they're not all virat kohli. everyone knew something special was coming, including a unicef ambassador. yeah — david beckham. just another shot towards the boundary, just two more scampered runs. but they meant that kohli reached 100 again — his 50th century in this format, breaking the record of the revered sachin tendulkar, watching. all sport recognises adoration. this in india is what drives modern cricket. and inspires the likes of shreyas iyer. he hit eight sixes in his 100.

india's batting could not be contained. new zealand, to win, needed 398. well, daryl mitchell proved that even the loudest crowd can be silenced. mitchell kept surprising, kept his team believing — seven sixes in his century. eventually, mitchell found the fielder, ravi jadeja. new zealand finished 70 runs behind. mohammed shami finished with seven wickets. india in the final, excitement to another level. they're not invincible, it's just unclear who can beat them. joe wilson, bbc news. so after two semi—final defeats in a row, india are back in a final for the first time since the last edition of this tournament that they hosted, 12 years ago. for new zealand, it is the opposite. they've reached the last two finals, but this time fell a stage earlier. here are the thoughts from both teams after the match. honestly, i think we knew it was going to be challenging, especially under

the lights on this. once the new ball gets a bit old, it is a bit difficult for bowlers to contain runs, so we knew it's going to be challenging. but what was important for us was to just keep bowling the areas where we wanted to bowl and wait for them to make a mistake. and that's what we did, and i think at one point came the partnership that they had, it was looking a bit challenging, but with such big scores, a couple of wickets here and there, you're always in the game. to give ourselves a bit of a sniff, although a lot of things had to go our way, you know, it was a fair effort. and i think reflecting on, you know, whatever it's been, seven weeks, i suppose, of cricket, i think as a side we can be quite proud of the effort that's gone into getting to where we are, and itjust didn't quite happen for us today. so many of india's players have contributed to their winning run at the world cup. mohammed shami is the leading wicket taker. rohit sharma gives them a blistering start with a bat. but it is very much the form of virat kohli that has

the country looking forward to the final in confident mood. it was another historic day for india's star man, and one to remember in front of his hero, sachin tendulkar. it meant the world to him. you could hear him talk about it as well. in 1998, when sachin tendulkar played one of the more famous innings in one—day cricket, desert storm it's called, against australia, a young virat kohli watched it on television and said, i want to be that guy one day. and, what, 25 years later, to be in front of that guy and go past him and make 50 0di hundreds... it is like... it's a dream come true. i think virat kohli had to pinch himself to have done it in front of sachin, in sachin's home ground, and also with his wonderful wife watching on. when india won the 2011 50—over world cup, finally, sachin tendulkar doing it at his sixth attempt, virat kohli famously lifted him on his shoulders and said that for 20 years, this guy has carried the burden of india, now it's our turn to do that and carry it forward. and that's what he's done.

and years ago, i remember sachin tendulkar was asked if there's anyone out there who could beat his record and he said, virat kohli. at this point, virat had been around for four or five years. so there is a lot of mutual respect. and i know that there have been times when virat kohli's been out of form, he's reached out to sachin, they've had personal sessions, private sessions, and it's just a lovely moment for it to happen, in such a big game as well. i think it's difficult to put into context in a country of 1.4 billion people. when you're one guy, it's like this — when he goes out to bat, he'sjust going to his workplace. and there are a billion people holding onto everything he says. they're holding their breath. i can't think of any other event in the world where a billion people are holding their breath for one guy to just have a good day at work. and that's what virat kohli had. i think only sachin tendulkar before him knew what it was like to be in that position. now, virat kohli has taken over the mantle. i always used to say sachin tendulkar was the heartbeat of india through the �*90s and 2000s. now it's just been transferred onto virat kohli. so next for india and kohli,

it's either south africa or australia who play on thursday. it's already been a winning world cup year for south africa after their success in rugby union, and captain temba bavuma admits he and his team—mates have been inspired by what the springboks achieved. i think to a large degree we look at them in awe, the springboks, and how they've gone about their back—to—back wins within the world cup. obviously, the way they won it this year with the knockout games being quite close. and again, how that resilience, how that do—or—die attitude came through. that's what we've been speaking about as a team. that, when the crunch moment comes, when the pressure moments come, we come together as a team and we find a way to get over the line. australia will be attempting to reach their eighth cricket world cup final. they've won five of the previous seven, so perhaps the mood in the camp

is understandably relaxed. 0nly batter travis head did any kind of training the day before their semi—final in kolkata, with the rest of the squad resting. with experience, i thinkjust keeping it pretty chilled and business as usual for our group seems to be the way to go. it meant the world to him. to be the way to go. so, you know, you draw back on those past wins, but you also just draw back on the last few weeks, and know that us at our best is good enough. so you don't need to try and push it too hard. but i think there's a quiet confidence, and i think our team plays our best when we've got that. 2a hours after the announcement about her future job, emma hayes was left furious in her current one, as chelsea were held to a 2—2 draw in the women's champions league because of what she described as painful and embarrassing refereeing. it was their opening match in this season's competition, and real madrid took an early lead. spain's world cup final scorer, 0lga carmona, with the first goal of the game. but chelsea were level before

half—time, and then a towering sam kerr header had them in front with 20 minutes of the match remaining. then came the controversy. carmona scored a penalty after a foul that appeared to be outside the box. that made it 2—2. and then in the final seconds, niamh charles thought that she had scored chelsea's winner, only for it to be ruled out for offside, which hayes described as a really legitimate goal, three or four yards onside. well, the draw in madrid means that swedish side hacken top that group after their win over paris fc. bayern munich were held after an injury time roma equaliser, and ps6 beaten 2—0 by ajax. there's more on our website. but that's it from sportsday. bye—bye for now.
