with opener zak crawley making 79 taking his total runs in the series to over 400 before he became one of five wickets for kuldeep yadav. he also took the scalp ofjonny bairstow on his 100th test, out for a rapid 29 off 18 balls. ravichandran ashwin — also playing in his 100th test — took the remaining four wickets as england slumped to 218 all out. in reply, india reached stumps on 135 for one... trailing byjust 83. captain rohit sharma with an unbeaten half century so far. england do have the wicket of danger man yashasvi jaiswal, but not before he made his 50. india remember with that unassailable 3—1 series lead. to tennis, and another blow for rafael nadal who pulled out of indian wells 2a hours before his first—round match with milos raonic on friday. nadal, 37, made his long—awaited return at january�*s brisbane international, after almost a year out with injury. however, the spaniard sustained a hip injury at the tournament, which ruled him out of the australian open.

nadal played an exhibition match against carlos alcaraz on sunday, but said he is not yet ready to play at the highest level. a big win for andy murray too, given his recent comments in dubai, saying he's not planning to play much past this summer. the former world number one reached the second round of indian wells, courtesy of a straight sets victory over belgian qualifier david goffin. world number six 0ns jabeur has said she would be fully supportive should the decision be made to stage the wta finals in saudi arabia. jabuer�*s position is in direct contrast to that of tennis greats martina navratilova and chris evert, who have expressed reservations over a possible move. i have been there a couple of times. i have been there a couple of times. i have been there a couple of times. i have noticed how amazing people are, how woman is getting more and more rights, it isjust an are, how woman is getting more and more rights, it is just an amazing country to play in. as a female tennis player i feel it is time to go there, to give the opportunity to so many women that dream to be

tennis players, or any others. and heavyweight boxing is back in saudi arabia, with britain's anthonyjoshua taking on former ufc champion francis ngannou in riyadh on friday. the 37—year—old french—cameroonian fighter, made his boxing debut against tyson fury four months ago and suffered a contentious split—decision loss, having earlier put down the wbc champion. an element of surprise perhaps forjoshua who comes into the fight after a straightforward victory over 0tto wallin back in december. he says he's prepared for what his opponent can bring. when i take on challenges i learn a lot about myself. it is all mental. physically i have been blessed and i am using it to my capability, mentally i have learned how to challenge myself, keeps me eating healthy, sleeping better, brings all that nature in me to compete. that's why i do it.

weather. hello again. in the last couple of days, we've started with some mist and fog, and some dense mist and fog patches at that. but in the next few days it won't be such an issue because it's turning windier. we will also see the sunniest conditions in the west, but it's going to be fairly cloudy at times with some scattered showers. high pressure is still anchored across scandinavia, effectively keeping weather fronts at bay in the atlantic. so what we have today is still quite a lot of cloud, especially in eastern and central areas, producing some drizzle in eastern scotland, showers developing across the south—east, the midlands, central southern england, and also wales. and a blustery day with temperatures 7 to about 11 or 12 degrees. heading on into the evening and overnight period, once again we hang onto all this cloud. the showers will push that bit further north. they could be wintry above 400 metres or so in scotland. there will be some clear skies but it's still going to be windy, so we are not anticipating those issues with mist or fog, and temperatures falling away

to between 2 and about 5 degrees. so then, for tomorrow, the high pressure drifts a bit further north across scandinavia. we've got this weather front trying to get into the south—west, isobars alone tell you it's going to be a windy day, windier than today. so we are looking at some brighter conditions across southern england and wales, with some sunshine coming through. a bit more cloud at times across the north of the country. gusty winds, as represented by the black circles. and by the end of the day the cloud will be thickening in the south—west and after dark we'll start to see some rain come in here. temperatures, 6 to about 11 degrees north to south. heading on then from friday into saturday, this low pressure does start to penetrate the south—west. we'll see the weather front travel a little bit further north, bringing in some rain during the course of saturday, which is going to be a generally cloudy day. it's also going to be a windy day. the best sunshine in the north—west, but at times we'll see holes in that cloud travelling northwards, but they will be filled once again with some cloud right behind them. so, moving on through the weekend,

saturday into sunday, we say goodbye to that weather front, and then you can see the isobars open out a touch, so it's still going to be windy at times as we head into the early part of the new week. and certainly on sunday and monday it will be fairly cloudy. but high pressure starts to build in on tuesday.
