in cricket, england'sjoe root has equaled alastair cook's record of 33 test centuries. it puts the batsman joint—top of the all time record for test ioos for england. our sports correspondent joe wilson was watching at lords. at 10:30am this morning with bright skies above, sri lanka's captain decided after winning the toss to bowl. at lunch, he probably felt it was a decent decision because england were three down, and one of the batterers dismissed ollie pope, who continues to combine the standing captain and potentially star batter with the sequence of low scores. the context then forjoe root was really significant, because other batterers were falling around him. he played a classic joe root innings. taking his time, picking his moments, seeing the gaps, methodical, all the way to another test match hundred, his 33rd in test cricket, that is level with alastair cook at the top of the england tree. so many more to come forjoe root, it seems certain. in this match, the performance of gus atkinson was significant too. almost batting like ben stokes with late order ones, 7a not out for him. and then passed 350. joe root dismissed for 143.

one of those reverse scoop shots. england, of course, will forgive him. great britain have got off to a flying start on day one of the paralympics in paris, claiming two gold medals, three silvers and one bronze. teenage swimmer poppy maskill created history with britain's first gold. the 19—year—old claimed victory in the s14 100m butterfly. she actually broke the world record in that race, describing it afterwards as "unreal". that was followed shortly after by another gold, also in the pool. maskill�*s team—mate tully kearney claiming victory in the s5 200m freestyle — a win she said was "redemption" following her silver medal in tokyo last time around. not such positive news though for one of britain's big hopes going into paris, kadeena cox. she crashed out of her c4—5 500m time trial final. the four—time paralympic champion had qualified second fastest for the final, but hit the velodrome track on the first corner. louis rees—zammit has been added to the jacksonville

cup, got under way with victory for britain over america. a series of races in barcelona will determine who'll challenge defending champions, new zealand, for the trophy in october. team ineos britannia beat american magic in theirfirst race. they'll face each other again and race three other nations twice in a bid to reach the semifinals. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, it's goodbye. hello there. despite a few sharp showers in the far north of scotland, thursday was a perfect late summer's day. in fact, quite a rarity for august because we had sunshine topping and tailing the country. yes, it was glorious at times. now, it's likely that we're going to keep that quiet theme for the next few days, despite a little bit of early morning mist and fog around

exposed west coasts, an the whole, there'll be a lot of sunshine to start the day on friday. cloud will develop as we go through the afternoon, but nevertheless the temperatures will start to pick up quite nicely. we're looking at 15—19 degrees in scotland, maybe highs of 2a degrees across southeast england — that's 75 fahrenheit. high pressure stays with us into the start of the weekend. it is starting to pull its way north and east, and that will allow more of an easterly flow and this weak weather front could trigger a few sharp showers. so a little more cloud across southern england and a brisk easterly wind making it feel a little fresher on exposed coast. so west will be best for sunshine and despite that brisk westerly wind — which will be noticeable — in some shelter, it will still feel quite pleasant. so for western scotland we could see highs possibly of 22 degrees, that's going to be a similar value to the london area, with the cloud and the risk of a few isolated showers. on to sunday — our area of high pressure continues

to move towards norway, and that's going to allow the wind direction to change once again, this time more to a south—easterly. so that will tap into some very warm air across the near continent, so it will feel increasingly hot and humid and much of eastern england seeing more sunshine and more warmth on sunday. there will be some cloud furtherwest, but later on in the day that humidity could trigger a few sharp, thundery downpours into the southeast. temperatures, though, likely to peak at 26 celsius. so if you've got plans for sunday evening across southern england, keep abreast of the forecast, the subject potential for change. and then as we go into next week, it looks likely that low pressure will start to centre itself to the far north and west. a lot of uncertainty for the detail, but it does look likely that this settled story that we've been singing for the last couple of days

will change to something a little bit more unsettled.
