at the emirates. gold rush in the pool for paralympics gb in paris — as alice tai wins her first individual title. and record breaking joe root makes history as england continue to dominate the second test against sri lanka. welcome along, thank you forjoining us — the latest on a history making day forjoe root to come — we start tonight with football and manchester city who are looking to maintain their hundred percent start to the season. this one finished a short while ago for that 3—1 against west ham for the all scores by holland a week on from his hat trick for the seven goals now in cities first three games league games. yes, west ham managed to pull one back for

the early heartland here making sure that it was job well done for manchester city, back at the top of the premier league with three wins from three or pep guardiola your side. earlier, last season's runners up, arsenalfailed to make it three wins from three. as did brighton. with both sides sharing the points at the emirates. the defining moment of the game came early in the second half as declan rice was sent off. arsenal were made to pay thereafter as alex fletcher reports. the end of the transfer window and teams have taken shape for the emirates expectation high this season for the raheem sterlings late arrival increasing the excitement. a further boost provided on the pitch, courtesy of kai have pitch, courtesy of kai haverts. a delicate finish of arsenal jumping forjoy at the break. step forward, declan rice

already on a yellow card, he fouled before delaying the restart him to see red. this gave bright and fresh hope and the man who scored their winner last week was on hand to get their equaliser for the year pedro starting the season fine form. ——joaoa pedro you won't pedro the visitors had the best to a huge target but unable to find it. a point each and all applauds for pedro. not quite business as usual for arsenal. alex fletcher, bbc news. mixed emotions for both managers afterwards — mikel arteta was the one left frustrated — with the arsenal boss unhappy with the referee's decision making: i was amazed. start because in the first when the opponent did that, they didn't get any book in.

they called in a noncritical area on the pitch. after hitting it is heel and turning around to make that decision. by law he can do it. then be consistent and is well if that is the case then you have to send and they will play ten against ten. for me he shoots the ball away so it's a clear yellow card, it changes the momentum of the game. i think the first half they had pole position in the first of the game. we started control of the game, but after ten, 15 minutes we changed it. so we started to control the game and the goal happened at it nowhere for arsenal. we didn't defend it good. the red card change momentum for sure. again in the end we did when we have to be satisfied. the game of the day so far has come at goodison park — not thatjordan pickford and the everton fans will see it that way but what a result for bournemouth who were 2—0 down with three minutes

of the 90 to go — but they then scored three goals to win the game 3—2. this the match winner luis sinisterra — the colombian scoring in the 96th minute after goals from antoine semenyo and lewis cook. that's bournmouth's first win of the season, everton remain bottom still without a point. it's a big thing for us. you have to play to the last breath of every single game and we simply didn't. they did. i don't think they have a kick all day as regard to the game and the pressure they promise, limited. just literally playing it forward crossing in the box, we didn't stop the cross, we didn't work hard enough to stop the process. the crosses. body language had gone too quickly at that stage. simple stuff, didn't see it through. very frustrated with thrown it away. in a game that you probably didn't deserve to win we can fighting. we went quickly to take the ball and the

willingness to win the game we missed even a couple of chances in the extra time. i think i value it a lot because the players have been in a difficult moment. brentford have begun life without ivan toney — who was saying goodbye before his move to saudi — with a resounding 3—1 victory over newly promoted southampton. bryan mbeumo scored twice to leave the visitors bottom of the premier league table with everton and palace with no points so far this season. we turned the ball over too cheaply in the first half. i think we're one of the best teams to do to elect deal with high pressure in the premier league, in my opinion. brilliant moments of a brilliant chance. if the lantana found enough in those three games to really believe we can hurt teams in the way that we play as we did. the second half looks different because were chasing. i saw lots of good things for the i feel really positive about and

i feel way better than the forest again. i think ithink we're i think we're one of the best in my— i think we're one of the best in my opinion. where aggressive, well organised with of the _ aggressive, well organised with of the players are so committed. and that was the reason — committed. and that was the reason why we kept on errors from — reason why we kept on errors from southampton. i think it was — from southampton. i think it was also _ from southampton. i think it was also forced him to make errors — was also forced him to make errors. they made errors and therr— errors. they made errors and then we — errors. they made errors and then we equalise and force him to make — then we equalise and force him to make errors. that is up to us to— to make errors. that is up to us to take _ to make errors. that is up to us to take the chances. aston villa have made it back—to—back away wins, with a 2—1 victory against leicester. amadou onana opened the scoring for the visitors before jhon duran doubled their lead. facundo buona—notte gave leicester hope but they were facundo buonanotte gave leicester hope but they were unable to draw level and their search for first win of the new season goes on. it was a tough and to take, to be honest. because it's three games now that will win.

that's obviously not what we want even though were two other games, even at home we're against teams that will be vying at the top end of the league. it's tough to take in terms of results. i think we've got to say that in the three games we've seen more than enough performances if you like were going to be more than 0k. we're happy because after the three we had six points without i think it the way we want... for the we want to start the match is in play in different competitions for of course, the premier league is the most important for them and to get here is important for the it's fantastic and i think the players did very good work. we complete the first match and it was well competed batch. even to compete and we were. nottingham forest maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a i—all draw against wolves at the city ground. chris wood put the hosts in—front butjust two minutes later wolves were level through belle—garde's long—range effort and despite several chances, neither side were able to find

a winner in the second half. we got some situation to finish better, finish sooner. hopefully, i think with some time this will start to turn out better. as we look so it, the way we look in the second half of the more solid, more compact and we want to go forward. there's space for improvement. lots of good bits and some crazy bits. good, solid away performance. when we put on pressure what we had to put up always week ago and score a winner for the it was a good performance, pleased. ipswich scored their first premier league goal at portman road since 2002 to secure their first points of the season with a 1—1 draw at home to fulham. new boy liam delap netted his first ever premier league goal in the 15th minute before adama traore levelled the game for fulham. we weren't solid.

we didn't give many things for them. but we didn't create, should not control much more on the ball. the pressure, it was not possible at the moment. something we have to keep working hard. to improve in that type of situation, to be more effective in order that we have more chances to score. as a group we're adapting to the level and i think we're improving all the time. a lot of new players, we had six players that joined us this summer in the premier league debuted for us for the work and beating against a well—established team for that the large majority have been for a long time for them to compete on at least even in the game to perform how we did i think is really positive. we feel we've got lots to live on. three matches in the scottish premiership today — dundee have extended their unbeaten start to the season to nine games by fighting back twice to draw two all with st mirren. motherwell are a point

above them in fourth thanks to a stoppage time winner at st johnstone. 2—1 that finished. ross county and aberdeen kicked off at 545, it's currently. it remains goalless. in the championship, the points were shared in the east lancashire derby between burnley and blackburn rovers at turf moor. it was burnley who struck first, lyle foster's header putting scott parker's side ahead inside the opening ten minutes, but rovers equalised shortly after — and in some style — this brilliant strike from andi weimann bringing them level. blackburn also had a player sent off but they held on for a point at the home of theirfierce rivals. sunderland continued their superb start to the championship with a big win over portsmouth at fratton park. four wins from four for them now and only a single goal conceded. jayson molumby�*s goal in first—half added time was enough to secure all three points for west brom against swansea — a win that lifts them up to second in the table. wins too for leeds,

derby and millwall. in the space of a0 sensational minutes in the swimming pool — paralympics gb won three gold medals this afternoon. that includes a first individual title for alice tai. with more on that and medals elsewhere — ben croucher reports. saturday in the parisian pool where great britain demonstrated the ultimate flex. three golds, five medals and just no stopping them. commentator: she is swimming away from . the rest of the field! since her last paralympics, alice tai had her right leg amputated below the knee to relieve increasing pain, and leave herfree to experience true elation. alice tai is a paralympic champion! her first individual title. she will have four more chances to add to that this week. stephen clegg won three medals in tokyo. no golds. no doubt that would be changing in paris... he takes it in

a world record time! just like william ellard in the 200 metre freestyle, who added gold to his 100 silver. will ellard is the champion! and in para cycling, archie atkinson, fresh from breaking the world record in the 4k individual pursuit, was on track for gold, until... what drama, what despair for archie atkinson! stadium in shock, but for atkinson, who says he simply ran out of energy, silver is a first paralympics medal at the age of 20. ben croucher, bbc news. we will have more from paralympics later in the programme. time now for some of the day's other sport stories and... there's been british success at the world mountain biking championships in andorra — with the downhill events taking place today and the cross country tomorrow. tahnee seagrave took bronze for great britain in the women's downhill — valentina holl won it for austria. there was drama in the men's downhill — loris vergier had set the fastest time,

fellow frenchman loic bruni looked like beating it, until this spectaclar crash, handing the gold medal to vergier — who became world champion 10 years after he won thejunior title. and denmark's niklas norgaard leads the british masters by four shots going into tomorrow's final round. he made nine birdies in a brilliant round of 64 at the belfry to put him on sixteen under par overall. next tonight to a special innings from a special player — joe root hit another hundred today, one that's put him in the record books as the england batter with the most test centruries in history. just like he did in the first innings against sri lanka he did the same in the second — helping his side to a mighty lead of over 480 runs. his 34th test hundred moves him past sir alistair cook with only the greats rahul dravid, kumar sangakkara, ricky ponting, jacques kallis and sachin tendulkar

ahead of him. root�*s innings means england are closing in on an unassailable 2—0 lead in the series and watching it all unfold at lords is our correspondentjoe wilson — england in total control — talk us through the day: let's remember the context of the tax for the bait really began the day and control it made sense for them to try to get on with that, control it made sense for them to try to get on with that, build fairly quickly. to be fair to all the pope i think that's what he was trying to do for them to try to get on with that, build fairly quickly. to be fair to all the pope i think that's what he was trying

to another low score for the standing captain. gone for 17, go back to the pavilion and watchjoe root, master class with the brutes inning say it was a classic of its kind. he was scoring, never seem to be straining himself with the neared because he was running out of partners for the england were eight down when he got to his 34th test match entry for the just 33, he is free from the burden, he is fit, his focus was up i has a lot more to come in his batting career. there was more to do for him in this test match because there were england now in the field. they took two wickets before the close of play. now, at the end of the day is well with the non—d wicket keeping catching record for england. what will happen on day four was back in theory did have loads of ties for sri lanka to get the full hundred and 31wins a need to win the test match with the more realistically, there is loads of time for england to take the eight wickets they need. who knows? it will probably end with a joe root hat trick. looking forward to the italian grand prix as well.

lando norris will start tomorrow's italian grand prix from pole, alongside his mcalren teamate 0scar piastri, with title rival max verstappen's red bull back in seventh. this is norris' second pole in a row — and the fifth of his career. combined with verstappen's difficult session, this is exactly what norris needed as he seeks to close the 70—point gap to the dutchman in the championship. george russell took third for mercedes, ahead of the ferraris of charles leclerc and carlos sainz and team—mate lewis hamilton. honestly, my lap, it was hurts me to say, was not a great lap. my 0 311 was built round two was a little bit more. a little bit surprised in the end for that very, very happy. next tonight to the us open tennis in new york — where the british number one jack draper's trying to reach the fourth round for the second year in a row. he is looking very good to do that. he is looking very

good to do that. standing in his way is the man who stunned carlos alcaraz in the last round — botic van de zandschulp — the world number 7a. draper has got that set and has just broken it's 3—2 up, about a four to lead. kenny get it donein a four to lead. kenny get it done in straight sets? that part of the draw is really opened up for the draper looking very good at the moment. laterat looking very good at the moment. later at the moment don't forget dan evans his first night session match in the louis armstrong stadium. that whole side of the draw has opened up after novak djokovic followed carlos alcaraz out of the tournament. the defending champion and 2a time grand slam winner was beaten by alexei popyrin in four sets in their third round match, what a moment for the australian. djokovic will end the year without winning a grand slam for the first time since 2017. i've played some of the worst

tennis i've ever played, honestly the serving the worst ever. if you play on a quick service like this without the serve, without ability to win three points there, very low percentage you can't win. ben 0'connor has kept the leader's red jersey after stage 11; of the vuelta a espana. he lost nearly two minutes to primoz roglic yesterday — but on the longest stage of the race it was roglic who was in most danger of losing time to the australian as drew savage reports. another day in the spanish mountains and in eighth in red for ben 0'connor. the australians lead is injeopardy. yesterday it was cut to 81 seconds the three—time winner, lurking behind in the palatine today. but no worries for 0'connor on stage 14, the red jersey right up there on the last climb of the day. then drama... that is not what you want.

a mechanical problem for at the worst possible time for the with the stage victory up for grabs nobody was going to wait. so a test of descending skills as he chased to peleton from a team—mates bike that was too small for him for that and unexpected plot twist. but team—mates, he made it back in the nick of time for that the front was a sprint finish to victory taken by growth, the second time this year. the second time this year. behind both finish for the same time so it looks like an epic day in the mountains tomorrow for 0'connor to defend thatjersey again. drew savage, bbc news. south africa beat new zealand injohannesburg. the all blacks were dominant for the first out for the cato clarks scoring two of their tries as a lead by ten points for the they lead one

overfor points for the they lead one over for 31—27 victory for the williams with the decisive try. staying with the games — one of the great moments for paralympics gb in paris so far has come from 11; year old bly twomey. playing alongside fliss pritchard — the pair won bronze in the women's doubles table tennis. they've been speaking to alistair durden: it's day three of competition here in paris. i'm being joined by one of the youngest members of paralympics gb, 14—year—old bly twomey along with her table tennis partner but together they won bronze on thursday. congratulations to both of you. you had a couple of days to let it sink in. how are you feeling about a? just unbelievable. the journey that we've been on together, the journey i've been on personally to spirit we'll share this is incredible. i know you tried

hello there. the first day of the weekend and the last day of august was a fine one for many areas. plenty of warm sunshine, particularly northern and eastern areas, but it was cloudier further south. as we go into the first part of september it looks like conditions will turn increasingly warm and humid, and there will be thundery showers, which will become more widespread and some that could be torrential. the cloud we've had across southern areas associated with this weather front around this area of high pressure, and that will be drawing in some warm and humid air, mainly to england and wales as we head through tonight. so there'll be cloudier skies across england and wales. chance of a few heavy, maybe thundery showers pushing up across southern areas. scotland, northern ireland probably seeing the clearest of the skies throughout the night so again could be quite chilly across some central northern parts of scotland, but double figures elsewhere. mid—teens for england and wales no lower than around 16 or 17 in the southeast. so for part two of the weekend, the 1st of september looks cloudier. i think for many of us probably the best of the sunshine towards the north west. as we go through the afternoon

though, we'll start to see increasing showers and thunderstorms developing across england and wales. hit and miss showers. many places will avoid them, but if you catch one it could be quite torrential, possibly with large hail as well. now towards eastern parts it will stay quite breezy, so a little bit cooler along north sea coast. otherwise a warm and humid day for many, could be in the high 20s, given some sunshine towards the southeast. low 20s further north. as we head through sunday night, we hold on to the risk of showers and thunderstorms pretty much anywhere, but they will be extending further northwards as well. so by monday morning we're all in that humid air with mid—teens there for the central belt of scotland. same too for belfast. no lower than 16 or 17 across the southeast. for monday looks more unsettled. we've got this weak area of low pressure across the country, but it'll be strong enough to generate a lot of cloud and plenty of showers and thunderstorms. again, the details are a bit sketchy this far out, but it does look like we could see some thunderstorms across more central and eastern areas and across some western parts too. but again, this could change.

the best chance of seeing some sunshine could be towards the southeast, where again, we could be into the high 20s with high humidity. but generally it's the high teens, low 20s for most stays unsettled i think, as we head into tuesday. but then wednesday onwards, it looks like high pressure may start to topple in again from the west. that will settle things down for many of us with increasing amounts of sunshine. take care.
