chris froome is 57 seconds off the lead. they stay in sicily, for a tough climb up mount etna tomorrow. ireland's cricketers will play their first test this friday when they host pakistan in dublin. but their journey to gaining test status began almost 50 years ago when, in 1969, they hit the headlines with an amazing performance against the then dominant west indies side. ireland's wicket—keeper recalls their most famous day. i was proud to be irish wicketkeeper one week, for the greatest day, after bowling the mighty west indies testing out for 25. and he is out bowled and the west indies are all out for 25. i repeat that, the west indies are all out here at siam mills, having won the toss and

elected to bat, all out for 25. mills, having won the toss and elected to bat, all out for 25m was a complete miracle. the story was a complete miracle. the story was always told they were on the drink the night before which was wrong, they just had drink the night before which was wrong, theyjust had a drink. i took them to the hotel and when they went to the hotel, the bar was closed. clive lloyd, a long way away from that. tremendous swing, nowhere near it. the body, all the crowd was expecting them to score a lot of runs. but again, the circumstances and the conditions of the ground, i think made a lot and we had two very fine bowlers able to exploit the ground conditions. and he is out! he is caught at mid—on. clive lloyd out for one. and he is out! he is caught at mid-on. clive lloyd out for one. we had professionaljobs, we had a couple of doctors, we had a solicitor. all professional men. it

was not our livelihood at all. he has been out cut! that was headlines. and people that would go through the village that know anything about cricket would stop and make their way down to the cricket field here to see it and point out, that is where the west indies were beaten, the biggest shockin indies were beaten, the biggest shock in sport, the bigger shock that has happened in sport and certainly to irish cricket. pakistan have been warned! the first test against ireland on friday. that's all from sportsday. good night. almost a year on from the grenfell tower fire,

a children's book has been published featuring two of the victims. marco gottardi and gloria trevisan were a young italian couple, who moved to london to find work as architects but, only a few months later, they were both killed in the tragedy. sofia bettiza has the story. sofia bettiza has the story. the jewel of italy, venice. 700 miles away from london, and yet these two cities are connected by tragedy. marco and gloria, an italian couple in their 20s, died at the top of the grenfell tower inferno last june. it's strange to think that a dreadful fire so far away in london could have such big repercussions in this corner of italy. but this is where marco and gloria grew up, fell in love, and decided to travel to the uk — a move that would mean grenfell tower became home. marco's mother, who had visited grenfell, says she's been devastated by the loss of her only son. translation: there are no words

to describe the pain you feel for the death of a son. for mums, for me, i wish it would have happened to me too because it's a pain you carry with you all the time. if there are 2a hours in a day, i sufferfor 25. and so, to try to ease that pain, she started to write a book about marco and gloria. that's how the knight and the princess came to life. in it, the couple become fairytale characters who decide to move to a high tower in a faraway land. the book was created with the help of family and friends. marco's childhood friend, roberta, did all the drawings. translation: this gave me the strength to go on. it's not fair to keep quiet. we need to remember all those people who died in that tower — who died for nothing. but unlike real life,

the book gives the couple's story a happy ending. marco's mum hopes that the tale of their loss will lead to tower blocks being safer in the future, and she has another hope. translation: with this book, i want to show how two very simple people can leave such a wonderful memory on the world. i hope they are happy somewhere else. time for a look at the weather with darren bett. today was cooler with temperatures reaching 21 celsius in the south east of england. helped by sunshine like this and light winds. further a different story, much more cloud, grey skies, cooler weather and for some western areas, outbreaks of
