of the bank holiday weekend. and coming up on bbc news: england's charley hull was the overnight leader at the women's open at st andrew's. we'll have the latest from the old course. good afternoon. the annual energy bill of a typical household will go up by £149 from october, under a price cap rise announced today by the regulator, ofgem. the cap is increasing by 10%, putting up the average annual household bill in england, scotland and wales to around £1,717 a year. higher wholesale gas prices have been blamed as ben boulos reports.

at this cafe in doncaster they know how much their customers are already struggling with energy costs. i’m struggling with energy costs. i'm feelin: it struggling with energy costs. in feeling it too, i have struggling with energy costs. in feeling it too, i have a young family, and it is a worry. we do turn things off now at the plugs when we go to bed and it is always there in your mind. the when we go to bed and it is always there in your mind.— there in your mind. the new price ca . there in your mind. the new price ca- from there in your mind. the new price cap from october _ there in your mind. the new price cap from october means - there in your mind. the new price cap from october means energy l there in your mind. the new price i cap from october means energy bills will rise by 10% in england, scotland and wales. that means an average bill of £1,717. but the cap doesn't limit your total bill, but how much suppliers can charge for each unit. these are the new charges. but even these vary, depending where you live and your payment plan. 1

is there for people worried about their bills going up again this winter? it is going to be another watchful winter, ben, for many households after this news. that means keeping after this news. that means keeping a close eye on their energy use in the short—term. that could be batch cooking, controlling the thermostat, the things we have been used for the last couple of winters. its important that people will be claiming benefits to which they're entitled, pensioners in particular will see winter fuel payments withdrawn and many will see them withdrawn and many will see them withdrawn this winter. in the medium term, well, ofgem have been pointing to changes to standing charges, the fixed fees that we pay that allow us to be connected to the system. and the regulator saying they may shift those from the standing fees that we pay on to the unit cost and that may

give us some control. in the long—term its about the uk generating more of its own energy and the pressure is a lot of investment and it could be some time before we feel that in our bills. thank you. our political correspondent iain watsonjoins us now from westminister. iain, what have the government and opposition parties been saying about this? well, this rise has brought into focus the decision by the chancellor to scrap that winter fuel payment for the vast majority of pensioners. so the conservatives are accusing her of dishonesty, saying this was not a policy in labour's manifesto and pensions haven't had time to adjust. but interestingly there is concern inside her own party. one mp in the labour party urged the chancellor to rethink. she is the only person to say so publicly, were

during the parliamentary recess. but some labour mps are concerned. so i think the scrutiny and criticism of rachel reeves will increase. there is a drive to get people who are eligible for pension credit but haven't signed up to do so. but the question politically for the chancellor will be what happens come the winter if many of these people haven't done so still?— there's more information and advice on this and the cost of living crisis, on the "tackling it together" section of the bbc news website. mourners have gathered for the funeral of seven year old elsie dot stancombe, one of the three girls killed in the southport knife attack last month. elsie's family had encouraged people attending the service to wear bright colours and asked for this to be known as elsie's special day. our correspondent frances read reports.

elsie with her mum, dad and sister rosie, in a new family photo released on the day of her funeral. an extraordinary and kind little girl, wise beyond her years, who loved chatting, having fun and a good party. in her memory, herfamily asked that everyone should wear bright colours today and to give her the best possible celebration. friends, emergency service workers, and cheerleaders, lining a pink carpet, elsie's passion was cheer leading and other girls like her here to remember theirfun friend. a community standing together, with elsie's family through unimaginable sadness. they have invited people to come and show their respect, pay their respects to elsie and be here today. that really reflects the family, their wish for unity as well, we are

all in this together and the purpose is to give elsie the very best day we possibly can. in a statement released for today, elsie's family said: # we all need somebody to lean on~~# _ the lighthouse choirfrom liverpool performed throughout, as people came together to remember. a big sister, a precious daughter, who knew nothing but love and fun in her life. and a little girl who loved a big party. also there, the emergency services, who tried so desperately to save her life. southport is notjust

a place, it is your home. and it will forever be elsie's home. special tributes too from posties, elsie's dad david is a postal worker. today a difficult day, but this community made sure elsie's memory was honoured in the spirit of everything elsie dot was. our correspondent sean dilley is in southport where the funeral took place. sean, as we saw there, such a moving service and hundreds of people lining the streets today? yes. lining the streets today? yes, frances read _ lining the streets today? yes, frances read our _ lining the streets today? yes, frances read our colleague i lining the streets today? ye: frances read our colleague there referencing emergency services in their uniforms outside the church and inside the pastoral bright clothing. i'm going to set the colourfor

our correspondentjessica parker is in porticello this morning. jessica, this has been a difficult recovery operation, hasn't it? it has. and actually in the last hour the fire service have confirmed the recovery of the final missing person. there will have to be a formal identification process, but it is believed to be hannah lynch. there has been a lot of activity in the last couple of hours in the harbour behind me, an ambulance was driven away. we also hear some short light bursts of applause from within the emergency service tents. perhaps the emergency service tents. perhaps the teams marking the end of this phase, which has been complicated, the yacht is 50 metres under water, lying on the sea bed. now that the final person has been recovered,

focus even more is likely to turn to the cause of the tragedy. we are set, we have learn today, to he was hear from the chief prosecutor. that could be an important moment. for now what happened in the last couple of hours, a sad moment, a sad marker in this operation.— a man has appeared in court, charged with the murder of a delivery driver killed in leeds earlier this week. claudiu—carol kondor, who was 42, died while he was out delivering parcels in the city on tuesday evening. a second man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and a woman arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. two dogs believed to have been involved in killing a man found dead outside a house in birmingham have been found. a 33—year—old man was found dead in the back garden of a home in rubery on wednesday. west midlands police said that an investigation

into the man's death is ongoing. a promising new lung cancer vaccine trial has begun, with a 67—year—old man becoming the first person in the uk to try what doctors hope will be a revolutionary new treatment for the disease. it's a highly targeted treatment that uses the same technology as some covid jabs to give instructions to the immune system. to the cheers of her supporters, kamala harris has formally accepted the democratic nomination for president, at her party's national convention in chicago. she promised a "new way forward" for the united states. from chicago, emma vardy reports. please welcome the democratic nominee for president, vice—president of the united states of america, kamala harris! a month ago, many people did not envisage this moment — america's

lesser known second in command propelled into the starring role, but she's become the woman democrats now believe can make history by becoming the first female president of the united states. i will be a president who unites us around our highest aspirations. a president who leads and listens, who is realistic, practical, and has common sense and always fights for the american people. from the courthouse to the white house, that has been my life's work. the middle class is where i come from. my mother kept a strict budget. we lived within our means. yet we wanted for little. and she expected us to make the most

of the opportunities that were available to us and to be grateful for them because, as she taught us, opportunity is not available to everyone. that is why we will create what i call an opportunity economy, an opportunity economy where everyone has the chance to compete and a chance to succeed. kamala harris has been on an accelerated path to this moment sincejoe biden dropped out of the race. now she has appealed to people to see her as the future and urged voters to prevent a return to donald trump's america of the past. # what about us? # what about all the times you said you had the answer? though there wasn't an appearance from beyonce that many had hoped for, plenty of celebrities have been lining up to back her. polls suggest kamala harris's taken the lead in this race, but there are fears about the economy and illegal immigration that play

to donald trump's strengths. once the convention excitement subsides, there is still much to overcome if her dream of a new era is to be realised. emma vardy, bbc news, chicago. our correspondent ione wells is in chicago. ione, this was the most important speech of kamala harris' career so far, how was it received? as you saw, there was clearly a warm reception for her in that room. the most laps of this convention? probably not, but i don't it was really designed to. weather was talking about a friend of hers who had been through sexual violence is what inspired her to become a prosecutor, or talking about why she believes in abortion rights, i think she was trying to herself as a serious politician for serious times. in fact, the biggest cheer she got of the night was actually about foreign policy during her

speech, when she said that while she believes israel has the right to defend itself, she wants to see palestinian people get their right to dignity and self—determination, an issue she knows will affect her campaign, given the anger on the left of the party about the government �*s response to israel. i think most people in that room, judging by the cheers at the end and the smiles, felt that she did a good job about introducing herself, but also really taking the fight to donald trump. the big test for her now will be how she fares in her first head—to—head debate with donald trump in september. iohe donald trump in september. ione wells, for donald trump in september. ione wells. for us _ donald trump in september. ione wells, for us in _ donald trump in september. ione wells, for us in chicago. - for more news and analysis from the democratic national convention, you can listen to americast, which is available now on bbc sounds. our top story this afternoon: the annual energy bill of a typical household will go up by £149 from october, under a price cap rise announced today by the regulator, ofgem.

and storm lilian brings high winds and some travel disruption in parts of the uk — ahead of the bank holiday weekend. coming up on bbc news, despite storm lillian's best attempts, play got under way on time at old trafford with england looking to build on their overnight lead against sri lanka on day three of the first test. the bbc starjermaine jenas says he's consulting lawyers after being sacked by the corporation. the former footballer, who's presented the one show and appeared on match of the day as a pundit, was dismissed yesterday — after allegations of inappropriate workplace behaviour. he says there are two sides to every story. the latest now from our culture correspondent charlotte gallagher, and charlotte — another headache for bbc management?

very much so, ben. we know that a few weeks ago, the bbc was told that jermainejenas had allegedly sent inappropriate messages to a female colleague. he has now been sacked, both from his role as a present on the one show and also as a pundit from match of the day. jermaine jenas had really been positioning himself to take over from gary lineker on that programme. that's obviously now not going to happen. a huge picture of him on the side of the bbc office in salford has been removed. talksport, another employer, have said they have no plans to work with jermaine jenas plans to work withjermainejenas in the immediate future. jermainejenas the immediate future. jermaine jenas has actually done the immediate future. jermainejenas has actually done an interview the immediate future. jermaine jenas has actually done an interview with talksport and was asked about those allegations. i’m talksport and was asked about those alleuations. �* ., ., , _ talksport and was asked about those alleuations. �* ., . , _ ., allegations. i'm not happy about this situation. _ allegations. i'm not happy about this situation. you _ allegations. i'm not happy about this situation. you know, - allegations. i'm not happy about this situation. you know, i'm - allegations. i'm not happy about i this situation. you know, i'm going to he _ this situation. you know, i'm going to be speaking to my lawyers about it, is to be speaking to my lawyers about it. is att— to be speaking to my lawyers about it. is all i_ to be speaking to my lawyers about it, is all i can say right now. so another it, is all i can say right now. sr another scandal for the bbc involving another highly paid male

presenter. the bbc in the past has been accused of dragging its heels, not acting quickly enough when complaints have been made about presenters. in this case, they have acted decisively and sacked jermaine jenas within weeks of those allegations being made. charlotte, thank ou. edinburgh will become the first city in scotland to charge visitors a mandatory "tourist tax". it's expected to raise 50 million a year to pay for improvements to the city, but some tourism groups say the 5% charge will put visitors off coming. our reporterjoanne macaulay has more. it's festival time in edinburgh and it sees the city packed with visitors, but it takes its toll on infrastructure and services when budgets are tight, so the city council is proposing a tourist tax of 5% on accommodation as a way of paying for improvements. there's things over time that have

been used and used and we need the resources to invest back in them, so the tourism levy will give us that opportunity. so it's exciting for us. we're keen to see between £40 million and £50 million of new money every year invested in improving the city and making it better for people who live here and who choose to visit. how is the availability tonight? we are fully booked tonight and tomorrow. the edinburgh hotels association broadly welcomes the tax, but says it wants to see the money raised spent on specific things. increased public transport and better connectivity. from the travel hubs. we would also like to see | the public realm improved we would also like to see _ the public realm improved the public realm improved so that would be street cleaning, it would be pavement - improvements, pavement widening, just to make the city more clean, i robust, better signage within the city. - edinburgh is following the example of other places by introducing a tourist tax or visitor levy. but critics of the proposed system here say it's overcomplicated and it could put people off

coming to visit. we are already highly taxed sector and this is going to be another tax, 5% in the case of edinburgh, on top of that. so we're worried that it's going to affect scotland's income. edinburgh shop owner kitty bruce—gardyne believes it will be good for the city, but she thinks there should be some exemptions. during festival time, you obviously have the visitors who come to see the plays and to see all the performers, but i don't think those performers should be made to pay the additional tax, because they're already struggling to find accommodation that they can afford. so what do the visitors to the city think? we could come, but i think there would be people who can't come because of the taxes. i think that's a good idea. it's fair~ _ i mean, we are running down the town a bit, right? we are taking advantage of a lot of the infrastructure that is there. the fact that they are going to use it for the good of the city, - right, to keep it clean, i

so i think it's a good idea. if they have a lot of tourists coming in, why not? people are going to pay anyway. i think it's a great idea because edinburgh is a very beautiful city, so it would be nice to keep it clean and tidy. the council are now putting the proposals out to a 12—week consultation. the scheme could be in place by summer 2026. joanne macaulay, bbc news. the paralympic marathon champion richard whitehead has called for an improvement in nhs prosthetics — to help produce great britain's "next generation" of gold medallists. he says the prosthetics prescribed by the health service at the moment are "not fit for purpose". he was speaking ahead of the paralympic games which open in paris next week. here's our disability correspondent, nikki fox. he's a double gold medal—winning paralympian, a four—time world champion and marathon world record—holder. richard whitehead might not be heading to paris this year, but he's got another focus. i'm fit and healthy.

i never say never. i've not retired officially. but can you take on the fox? away from the track, richard is passionate about removing the barriers that stop disabled people enjoying sport. we still have some real access issues in sport and recreation. for an able—bodied person to be able to run, the equipment you need is trainers. you go to a sports shop in your local community and you get them. for an amputee, you have to go to a prosthetic clinic. you're measured, you're fitted, you have the right equipment and then you're able. that process needs to be a lot easier. the nhs says people with prosthetics commissioned by them can take part in fitness and physical activities, but richard disagrees. i don't see those individuals. i don't hear those messages. but the nhs would say that anybody who needs a prosthetic, if they are suitable, can get one. the nhs for me at the moment

is very restrictive. and that's why richard set up his foundation, to help people like this get the right prosthetic so that he can run like this. i actually watched him on youtube when he did the parlympics in 2020. that was what changed my life, to be honest. that started my journey. the nhs prosthetic he received after losing his leg as a teenager changed his life, and it's the reason he is now a prosthetist himself. but it didn't allow him to get back to the active life he had before, until he received his first running blade with the help of richard. do you use your legs when you're at school? sometimes. sometimes, yeah. it is hard to play football with them on. richard has been a mentor to ten—year—old taylor since he was two and has been there through some of the challenges he has faced. if your running feet could be better in any way, what would you like them to be better in?

more comfier. more comfy, for sure. they are so heavy. and you have to wear these? there's not much difference between that and mine. is there not? no. taylor has three different nhs prosthetic legs, but none of them work that well for him. if we had the money, it would be | a completely different scenario. | do you feel that way? yes. i understand that it's the nhs and funding is limited, - but for kids, there shouldn't be a limitation on their life. - so what do you think you could get if you had the money? lighter legs. better fit, physio that comes along with it. i we would be a lot further along - in taylor's journey than we are now. for richard, it's notjust about finding the next gold medal—winning paralympian. he wants all disabled people to have the right equipment so that they can benefit from sport just like he has. nikki fox, bbc news.

a 101—year—old woman is hoping for the safe return of her late husband's war medals after they were stolen from her home. betty rout said she "wasn't scared" when she was woken by two people breaking into her home, butjust wants someone to give them back. our reporter steve knibbs went to meet her. no, i wasn't scared, no. betty is remarkably resilient and philosophical, considering what happened. she woke up in the middle of the night to see two burglars walking out of her kitchen. i was standing in the bedroom doorway. the leader came to me and said, "sorry" — i think he said, "sorry about this". the thieves had stolen some handbags and a small safe with some documents inside, but most distressing was that they had taken a set of war medals belonging to her late husband stephen. he had earned them during

the second world war and later for service in palestine, africa and italy. actually, this is right where she was standing. betty's son robin says the medals don't have huge monetary value, but mean so much to the family. he handled them. you know, his hands were on those metals, and those things are what you regret not having much tater in life — betty's lived here in the same house for 7h years, and robin is angry about the impact that the theft could have. it's things like this that destroy confidence and therefore may compromise the ability to live here alone. the burglars got into betty's house after cutting open a key safe and just opening the front door. this is something police say is extremely rare. i would advise people not to put key safes in prominent locations. - if you generally put - them by the front door, i would advise them to put them somewhere more discreet, - the reason being that it is not- that they are necessarily used often to get into houses, but it's sending a message that maybe _ a vulnerable person lives there.

betty was awarded a medal of own, the british empire medal, for her charity work and last year had the telegram from the king and queen for her 100th birthday. she says it's important to stay positive, and she still has hope that someone will do the right thing. there's a possibility that they will come back. they might. i'm optimistic. yeah, that's for sure. steve knibbs, bbc news. a reminder of our top headline this afternoon. the annual energy bill of a typical household will go up by £149 from october, under a price cap rise announced today by the regulator, ofgem. of the bank holiday weekend. high winds and rain have swept across northern england, southern scotland and wales — bringing travel disruption,

flooding and power cuts. train services in northern england are affected and 1a flights have been cancelled at heathrow airport. drivers have been warned of poor conditions on the roads. here, a lorry was buffeted in high winds on the humber bridge near hull, early this morning. a short time later, the route was closed to high—sided vehicles. organisers of the leeds festival have delayed today's opening time — and two stages won't be hosting performances due to the severe weather. a tent was seen spinning through the air as strong winds swept through the campsite. and the first day of bolton food festival was cancelled after the storm damaged stalls and knocked over tents. now here's ben with the forecast. let's hope it's going to improve? it is going to improve a bit, ben. let's look back at storm lilian

briefly because as you said, it was northern england and north wales that bore the brunt with wind gusts around 70 mph. but the storm is now long gone. it is clearing away over scandinavia. we are in a slightly quieter window of weather right now. however, our next weather maker is putting up from the south overnight and into tomorrow morning. some heavy rain for parts of england, especially in the south—east corner. a met office yellow warning. we could see up to 70 millimetres of rain, so if you have an early travel plans, that could cause some flooding and disruption. the weekend overall is a decidedly mixed affair. i will have the full forecast later. more now on that sharp rise in energy bills on the way this winter for some people living in england, scotland and wales. a typical household's annual energy bill will go up by £149 in october under the new price cap.

will pay £1,717 a year, a 10% rise. although prices are still lower than last winter, support such as the £400 energy bills support payment is no longer available, and the government has decided to means—test winter fuel payments — which are worth up to £300 — affecting around 10 million pensioners in england and wales. here's our cost of living correspondent colletta smith. this is keeping billy's coordination. billy and sylvia are pulling no punches today. on top of the agenda are their energy bills, which are on the up again. it's been a huge effort for sylvia and billy to afford their energy bills over the last couple of years. last year was really scary. we still had to wrap in blankets and watch the smart meter shooting up. does it feel like you are close to the edge financially? we are, yes.

if we got a big bill in, we would be, you know, we don't want to go overdrawn. we're just trying to keep our head above water, scared of things going wrong in the house. are you already starting to use the hot water bottles? yeah. talk me through what you've got. but paying those bills will get harder. today the regulator has announced that the prices for gas and electricity can increase again in october, so we will all be charged more, whatever energy we use. and because sylvia and billy are just above the threshold to get pension credit, now they won't get that £300 winter fuel payment from the government. there's no way they would let us have pension credit, just by being about £100 more, but what we have to pay out, because we don't get pension credit, is our life savings. down the road at this warm hub, it's a full house as a free lunch is dished out.

there you go! along with a few bits and bobs to take home and a round of bingo. 8-0, 80. although energy prices fell in the spring and summer, the energy price rise that we're hearing about today will kick in from the autumn and will put most people's bills over the autumn and winter back to around the level that we were paying last winter, except for this time around, there's no extra energy help from the government, there is no extra cost of living payments being given out and for the vast majority of pensioners, there's no winter fuel payment either. that's a big concern for those in charge here. you can see yourselves how busy we are now. prices are ridiculous, aren't they, to heat your home, so if it's a single person on their own and they really did rely on that set amount of money to get them through the winter, i really worry. what are we going to find, what are we going to come to? we know people have been affected, so it's going to be even worse

in october when prices hike up. the government say they've had to make hard financial choices to stop overspending, and energy prices this autumn will be much lower than the peak two years ago. but with fewer hand—outs to get people through, most households will find themselves with a very difficult hand to play. give me the money! colletta smith, bbc news, in warrington. still to come on today's programme: we take a look at some of the more unusual items from legendary lavatory maker thomas crapper, that are now up for sale. but first, it's time tojoin our colleagues with the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm tanya arnold. it's been an up and down second round for england's charley hull at the women's open — we'll have the latest

from st andrew's jamie smith hits his first test century as england build a healthy lead against sri lanka on day 3 of the first test at old traffod. and formula one is back after its summer break, with lando norris quickest in first practice ahead of the dutch grand prix. charley hull was the overnight leader after the opening round of the women's open at st andrew's and she was back out early this morning. let's go live to the old course and our correspondent, jane dougall, jane, fair to say it was an up and down morning for charley hull. so how's the leaderboard looking at this stage? i think charley hull's form is as changeable as the weather here. she had such changeable as the weather here. sue: had such around changeable as the weather here. s'ie: had such around yesterday changeable as the weather here. s“ie: had such around yesterday with changeable as the weather here. sie: had such around yesterday with six

birdies finishing the day on five under and the overnight leader but then she had a really tight turnaround because she came off the course here at around half past seven in the evening and then had to tee off for her second round at eight o'clock this morning. not much time to rest and recuperate and perhaps it affected her slightly because she started off with three bogeys on her first, because she started off with three bogeys on herfirst, fifth because she started off with three bogeys on her first, fifth and 11th holes, that dropped her tattoo under and then she did pick those shots back up again she bedded her 13th, 14th and then the 18th and that meant she was back where she started but for the tournament not for the day. she does like link courses, it is pretty sunny here today, yesterday we had winds of around 45 mph and those conditions seem to agree with her a little more, because she had such a good round then. today, not so impressive for then. today, not so impressive for the english woman but she is still very much in contention.-

the english woman but she is still very much in contention. those wins sound ridiculous _ very much in contention. those wins sound ridiculous for _ very much in contention. those wins sound ridiculous for playing - very much in contention. those wins sound ridiculous for playing golf. - sound ridiculous for playing golf. how is the leader board looking? taste how is the leader board looking? - have a new leader for the moment, it have a new leaderfor the moment, it is the world number one, american nelly korda, she is on eight under. she started the day one shot behind charley hull on four under but she has birdied four of her hole. she is on eight under and leading the tournament. she has had such a good season so far. she has won six tournaments in a row, earlier in the year, she is definitely one of the favourites for this women's open. particularly now she is leading on eight under. charlie hole on five under, just behind her on the leaderboard. next to her is the defending champion lillian wu. joining them is ruoning yin, who led for much of yesterday as she started

her second round. she has already picked up a birdie on the second, bringing her to five under for the tournament so far. it is fairly tight at the top. it is only the second day. it is very windy still, the conditions are fairly tricky to have to cope with. it is sunny and it has stopped raining, which is always a blessing. these are early days at st andrews and some of the players are getting used to these links conditions on the course. they are very changeable. aha, links conditions on the course. they are very changeable.— are very changeable. a blessing for the reporters _ are very changeable. a blessing for the reporters as — are very changeable. a blessing for the reporters as well _ are very changeable. a blessing for the reporters as well as _ are very changeable. a blessing for the reporters as well as the - the reporters as well as the competitors. it was a mixed night in europe for british clubs last night: defeats for kilmarnock, hearts and larne, but a brilliant 3—0 win for the new saints of wales and victory too for chelsea — they're 2—0 up against swiss side servette after the first leg of their europa conference league play—off. manager enzo maresca was pleased with the result — and with the chance to give game

time to some of his enormous squad... i think overall what's important tonight to win the game, clean sheet. we did nine changes. we had players like renato, axel, pedro, even mark. player that philip. that was first game for him, official game. so many good things. chelsea will be back in domestic action when they travel to face wolves on sunday in the premier league before liverpool host brentford at 4:30. meanwhile, manchester city have confirmed the re—signing of former captain, ilkay gundogan, after he left barcelona on a free transfer afterjust one season in la liga. the former city captain has signed a one—year—deal and returns to the etihad stadium having previously spent seven years with the club. elsewhere, the weekend's action kicks off tomorrow when brighton host manchester united at 12:30. elsewhere, everton travel to tottenham looking to bounce back from their opening day defeat before arsenal travel to face aston villa. last season unai emery�*s side did the double over arsenal which arguably cost mikel arteta's side the title.

after two days affected by weather, pleasant, if slightly windy, conditions greeted england and sri lanka on day three. england began the day 23 runs ahead with four wickets in hand. joe wilson reports. manchester's skies looked encouraging before play and so did the warm—ups. that's injured ben stokes still missing but by the looks of it getting closer. jamie smith was perfect. impeccable timing as he resumed his innings. sri lanka's players chased the ball, the coach sought extra layers and gus atkinson helped england to extend their lead. tail end runs very useful. now the crowd waited patiently, many anticipating jamie smith's century, some by the looks of it, trying to find cardiff. well, here it comes. smith sprinted for the two runs he needed to get to his first hundred.

this is just his fourth test match, a vital contribution in this contest and extremely positive for england for their challenges which lie ahead right there. ahead right there. gus atkinson couldn't hang around. that was an edge. it was a catch and it was a catch and he was out for 20. jamie smith chasing, he was out for 20. edging and gone for 111. if he felt he should if he felt he should have done even more, have done even more, that may well be a sign that may well be a sign that he soon will. smith's innings here left england that he soon will. in a strong position, old trafford now a stage for mark wood to express himself. for the lead, to stretch for the lead, to stretch past 100 and for the past 100 and for the crowd to have fun. hold on. crowd to have fun. that needs a replay. that needs a replay. one handed. one handed. seriously, catch taken with the drink protected. you can't coach that as england's you can't coach that as england's staff acknowledged minimal spills. staff acknowledged minimal spills. full respect. so the crowd enjoyed england getting so the crowd enjoyed england getting to 328 in their first innings, that to 328 in their first innings, that gave them a lead of 122 runs. we had gave them a lead of 122 runs. we had

time then for overs time then for overs of sri lanka second innings and in that time england took two wickets, one for works and one for atkinson. i have to say that the energy and tenacity that we saw from sri lanka in the first two days of this test match hasn't really been in evidence so far here today. remember, we do technically have two days to come over the weekend, scheduled for this test match with a mixed weather forecast. right now, the shrunken players are building in that direction are having their lunch. they are needing to fortify themselves for the challenges of the afternoon session.— afternoon session. let's let see if the do. british paralympians heleen raynsford and gregor ewan have been chosen to ignite the paralympic flame on saturday at stoke mandeville, the birthplace of the paralympic movement before making the journey to paris. team gb have targetted between 100 and 140 medals and hope to use

the platform to inspire others. at paralympics gb, we want to inspire and unite a nation. that's our purpose. and we want to do that through our performances on the field of play. but we want that gold dust to create excitement and opportunity for everyone else off the field of play. you know, we don't just fly the flag for our paralympians

that is jan choinski, the world number 280, who saved three match points to beat america's maxime cressy in three sets — a fantastic win for him. billy harris, sonay kartal and lily miyazaki all missed out. the tournament proper starts on monday in new york. jack draper, dan evans, katie boulter, emma raducanu and harriet dart are the other british players who'll be competing with choinski in the singles. and you can keep up to date with the latest at the cricket, and of course the golf, as well as all the transfer news on the bbc sport website and app — but that's all your sport for now. ..goodbye friendly gig yet.

34,000 fans will only be able to buy vegan food, while seeing a concert solely powered by batteries. a warning — this report from david sillito does contain some flashing images. # love, love is a verb. # love is a doing word. clifton downs, high above bristol, and preparations for a festival with a difference. no cars, no diesel, no rubbish. bristol's trip—hop superstars massive attack are trying to prove there's a better way of doing big outdoor events. it's always a big deal to play on your home turf, yeah, so it's a big deal for us, yeah. you're making it special. leaving this gig as a legacy to our history of the city,

our performances in the city would be the best thing we can offer. fans have been told to leave cars at home and come by train, but that only takes you so far. you have to get up to the site as well. you can walk, but it's quite a trek and almost all of it uphill. however, you could try cycling. i said try! however, there is an alternative that's easier on your legs than a long walk or cycle up the hill — a bus. an electric bus. hello, simon. how many buses are you putting on? we are putting on 39 full electric buses. that's a lot for one gig. yes, but people tend to leave at the same time. they don't want to be waiting for three hours to leave, yeah. thank you very much. and on site, it's like a green laboratory, a battery—powered green laboratory. it weighs 40 tonnes. that's a lot of battery. dale vince knows festivals well. in the �*80s, he was what was known as a new age traveller.

he's now a renewable energy tycoon. it's the first time an event this big, 30,000 people, has been entirely powered by batteries. why can't you just plug it into the mains? because there is no mains here. that is the fundamental problem of outdoor events. 12 million litres of diesel burnt annually in our country to power outdoor events. but this is about more than just cars and power. this is what most festivals look like when everyone has gone home. here, they are hoping... no rubbish. this stuff that is normally thrown on the ground, you can just put on the compost heap? you can. and what about all the cups that are always left behind? the cups are reusable. they're made from a reusable vessel which you can take back and wash and reuse again and again. and the fans? well, the two we had a chat to were all for it, but there is an issue — getting home. we have had to book a hotel and then get a train back on monday. evie is from cornwall, jess, liverpool.

can you get back on sunday night? definitely not with how late it is, so i have to get a place to stay. gwr is laying on five extra late—night local trains, but after midnight... it's really difficult to do after midnight to ensure that network rail have the ability to do the engineering work that they need. they need to do the maintenance? they absolutely do. and this is just a fraction of everything they're trying. for the band, who have long had a passion for these issues, this is way more than just another gig. this is just something that we love doing, and it's our bit to help, really. the only time you will know it has really worked is when you walk on stage in front of 34,000 people and the lights come on in the music works properly. on and the music works properly. the only time we will know it has worked is when we walk off stage and there have been no power cuts. this experiment has, by its very virtue of being here, is hopefully going to create some activity because it is a sector which has a lot to say

about climate change, but unfortunately, it's not doing much about it. david sillito with that report. we're now less than a week away from the paralympics and two of our athletes have been given a warm sendoff as they head to paris. 14—year—old table tennis prodigy bly twomey will make her debut alongside mentor, will bayley, in what will be his fifth paralympic games. james dunn reports. a special song bidding a fond farewell to two paralympic heroes. just 14 years old, bly has won a major tonnes this year and is now ranked fourth in the world as she heads to paris. paralympian, how does that sound? it heads to paris. paralympian, how does that sound?— heads to paris. paralympian, how does that sound? it sounds amazing, i'm 'ust does that sound? it sounds amazing, i'm just really — does that sound? it sounds amazing, i'm just really happy _ does that sound? it sounds amazing, i'm just really happy to _ does that sound? it sounds amazing, i'm just really happy to go _ does that sound? it sounds amazing, i'm just really happy to go to - does that sound? it sounds amazing, i'm just really happy to go to the - i'm just really happy to go to the paralympics at such a young age. it means a lot to me. her mentor will bayley has been to four olympics,
