matches -- caused practice matches —— caused disruption. england will be hopeful they can get their series back on track. preparation wasn't ideal with having no warm up preparation wasn't ideal with having no warm up games preparation wasn't ideal with having no warm up games are preparation wasn't ideal with having no warm up games are not being able to get on grass as much but i guess the same situation was for the aussies as well and i think it showed the other day, we are a little bit off the pace in terms of match readiness and things like that, that is not going on to get big scores and a few little errors in the field but hopefully those cobwebs in the field but hopefully those co bwe bs have in the field but hopefully those cobwebs have been swept away and we are ready to go tomorrow. we want to be competitive when we are right on the field, that is naturally our style as a team. we want to, i guess, get the opposition's face and make sure we have a bit of a presence on the field. you will see without fielding, there is a lot of great effort out there and we feel we can force england to earn their runs. no different heading into the re st of runs. no different heading into the rest of the series, really want to make sure we can maintain that standard. england will be hoping to upset that. and you can hear commentary of the second one day international from coffs harbour on 5live sports extra and the bbc sport website from 4:30 tomorrow morning.

what of the men? not long until their ashes series begins. they fly out this weekend to defend their ashes title. the touring party will be keen to avenge the 5—0 whitewash they suffered in australia three years ago. and it's fair to say it's going to be hostile on and off the field — as the aussie captain steve smith has been telling jim maxwell and the bbc world service's stumped podcast. i'm sure there will be bits and pieces of chat out there and good banter, it's always great for the contest, but that's what it is, it's a contest and ensuring you are getting in that contest that the middle and doing everything you can to have success your team and hopefully win back that urn. warner was a fine player and —— warner —— matchwinner but sometimes you blanch at his common—sense thing, don't say that! that is when he is at its

best, when he is up and about that has a presence about him. he is a phenomenal batsman and the job he has done for the last couple of yea rs has has done for the last couple of years has been outstanding and hopefully he can have a really big campaignfor us hopefully he can have a really big campaign for us this summer. four yea rs campaign for us this summer. four years ago, mitchelljohnson's pays, you could say his intimidation, got the better of the opposition. is that going to happen with your bowling line—up here led by mitchell sta rc, bowling line—up here led by mitchell starc, cummings and hazel?” bowling line—up here led by mitchell starc, cummings and hazel? i would love for that to be the case, obviously 20 wickets in every game is going to be important for us and those guys have come a long way, they have learned a lot and i think they have learned a lot and i think they already could attack with nathan lyon as well, who is bowling as well as i have seen him bowl. how much do you admire playersjoe root, alastair cook, anderson and broad? how difficult are they going to be to get on top of? look, they are fantastic players and their records speakfor fantastic players and their records speak for themselves. so fantastic players and their records speakfor themselves. so in regards to broadband anderson, for us, it's about ensuring we don't give our wickets away to them and make sure

they are bowling lots of overs, particularly in the first innings and ensuring that we keep cook and root quiet. we will have plans for them and it is about executing those plans as well as we can and hopefully dismissing them for not too many and limiting their impact throughout the series. very reserved, he is obvious are going to leave his talking for the cricket field. ahead of his world title defence against carlos takam in cardiff this weekend, anthony joshua's been putting some would be boxers through their paces. and if you're not feeling tired after a busy day at the office, you certainly will be after this. we have gathered a few lads just to see how some regular gym goers compare with a]. what we have done is take the load is that a] lifts on his workouts and made that relative to their body weight is to make it a

fair challenge, otherwise a] would blow them out of the water. come on, you little weasel. the majority of power production in boxing is generated from the floor. three more, squeeze, generated from the floor. three more, squeeze, squeeze. generated from the floor. three more, squeeze, squeeze. when he is rotating into a movement to throw a punch, a lot of the force generation comes when he flexes and extends his lower body. 0ne lower body. one more, let's go. come on, squeeze. that is tough, that one. i think when it comes to the more sports specific stuff, the endurance and the balance and the core control, they are going to find out how tough he actually is. normally, big eyes are known to just fatigue. but he isjust something else. 0h, oh, my days. absolute madness.

when it comes to the relative body weight, they will do quite well, they will match him. we might have one or two guys who could even exceed that. good, good. he will be doing things like throws, jumps, plyometrics, working with cables, working with medicine balls. that is horrible. it's a killer. it's all right getting there, is staying there. that is core strength. core strength is absolutely massive in boxing, you need to be able to stabilise and stay strong when you are in corners.

that is a tough challenge, that. i'm blowing. i don't know how he manages to do it. easy. i told you you would feel tired. exhausting stuff. that is all from sportsday, we will have plenty more sport on bbc news throughout the evening. goodbye. good evening. plenty of things to talk about with the weather, another mild they've, particularly for late october but today, a little more sunshine as well, particularly across the south where it was cloudy yesterday, highs of 90 degrees in london. sunny spells and scattered showers further north and west, not as warm but in

the sunshine, not too bad that you consider peppering shower clouds for the north—west. as we go through the evening, this cloud across the channel, that is a weather front and it will drift its way back northwards across england and wales as we go through the night. but we keep the clearer skies to the north, so keep the clearer skies to the north, so there is the possibility overnight into scotland, northern ireland and northern england of seeing the aurora. if you are lucky enough to do so, send in some photographs. as we go through the night, the weather front will introduce more cloud, showery outbreaks of drizzly rain across wales and some hill fog as well. here, we keep the cloud, further north we have clear skies, but not too cold in the night, 8—13 first thing on thursday. so we start off on thursday with the best of the sunshine up into the north. quite windy, though, which were driving a few more showers across the northern isles and the far north of the great glen into scotland. the weather

front continues to meander its way steadily northwards, van der ploeg through wales and into east anglia and across the south coast near wells, few breaks if we are lucky, 8-10 the wells, few breaks if we are lucky, 8—10 the high. thursday will be the last day of that significant warmth. we are going to start to see a change. we will have the weather front weakening 0ppenheim pressure building as we go into friday, so a good deal of dry weather, a chilly start and a noticeably chillier filter things but once we have that out of the way, saturday again will bea out of the way, saturday again will be a quiet day, a little more cloud around and then a noticeable change to the story as we move into sunday. that is because the high pressure we re that is because the high pressure were squeezed out of the way into the west, a significant low into scandinavia will introduce these strong, gusty winds from the north and it will feel really quite cold in comparison to what we have seen this week and the favoured spots that, across the far north and north sea facing coast. sheltered part of the south and west seeing 14 degrees the south and west seeing 14 degrees the hype, further north and east,

quite bitter. take care. you are watching beyond 100 days. is donald trump and a loved fest or a hate spat? they have denounced the president, he's boasts a standing ovations. the latest to speak out says he can no longer be complicit in the president's bad behaviour.|j in the president's bad behaviour.” have children and grandchildren to a nswer to have children and grandchildren to answer to and so, mr president, i will not be complicit or silent. the washington post says hillary clinton's campaign funded the dossier about donald trump's ties to russia. and a european parliament debate on sexual violence against women ends up highlighting harassment in the institution itself. also on the
