some showers for the there could be some showers for the northern isles. on thursday a dry day with plenty of sunshine around and some fair weather cloud coming in. across the southern half of the uk particularly in the south—east and east anglia, temperatures noticeably lower. typical temperatures 16—18. more of the same on friday with a bit more cloud for the northern half of scotland, threatening one or two spots of rain. otherwise dry with plenty of sunshine. the wind a bit light on friday. those temperatures climbing up friday. those temperatures climbing up by friday. those temperatures climbing up bya friday. those temperatures climbing up by a degree sobhi could see a top temperature of 22. that sets us up for the weekend where winds will be light and it should be getting warmer. staying dry through the weekend, lots of sunshine on the way. that's all from us, now on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good evening, welcome to sports day. good evening, what have we learned from day seven so far?

two teams have booked their places in the last 16, three teams will be going home after the group stages and cristiano ronaldo continues to light up this world cup. he scored the winner for portugal against morocco in group b, his fourth of the tournament, as he leads the golden boot table. alex guklrajani reports. wishful thinking, well morocco's fa ns wishful thinking, well morocco's fans had to try something, but polite as their message was, cristiano ronaldo can be ruthless. fairly full minutes after kick—off, he lived up to his reputation, as he ghosted in. the fourth time we have

seen this celebration in russia,, maybe not the last. the feed from morocco —— and perhaps, they should have had a penalty, their manager seem to think so. not the last time we will see this sign, either. but the north africans kept plugging away, closer with every chance. while cristiano ronaldo, with this come back to haunt portugal? the opponents have plenty of opportunities to make them pay, but simply could not take any of them, meaning this man could celebrate, yet again. the last 16 now in touching distance for him, while home is calling for morocco. morocco paid so well. after the match morocco defender nordin amrabat complained that var is still not being used properly at this world cup and claimed that the system cost his team against portugal.

i don't want to speak about the referee but the first goal, they spend special referees to instruct us spend special referees to instruct us about the var. he said he will go but didn't go. it was a fall on our striker. it is a big difference in the big game like this. small details, and for them it is more easy. it was a penalty for sure. you didn't give the penalty. if you don't use the var every time, then it doesn't work. a few years at one time cs and one time not, it's not fair. it hurts to be knowing that you're going home after your next match. morocco going home, portugal and running and grip b. if iran win, they could book a place

in the last 16. it has been living here at the world cup as we get into the second round of matches around the second round of matches around the groups. we have had movement in grip alpha—mac. uruguay are through as they beat saudi arabia by one goalfor stop it winter as they beat saudi arabia by one goal for stop it winter lewis or is -- luis goal for stop it winter lewis or is —— luis suarez. confirmation that russia are through as well but saudi arabia going home with egypt. as the group now takes the shape, the mood amongst fans can scarcely be different. a win would be enough to send uruguay through. for saudi arabia, only a win would do. they must have been fearing the

worst that the striker in the space. he should have done better. but what he couldn't quite manage, luis suarez simcoe. the perfect way to celebrate his 100th appearance for his country. the size of saudi arabia's tasker growing bigger, but it says about it with a purpose. but whilst elimination loomed, it was uruguay who continued to come the closest. carlos sanchez and other big chance missed. seemingly still desperate to make amends, the saudi arabian law is making chances by himself. the same result, but it was only the final result that mattered. saudi arabia's progress ended, uruguay through to the knockout stage. so russia with that massive goal difefrnece above urugauy, they are both in to the last 16 but will play each other for top spot. egypt and saudi arabia will play each other in a dead rubber,

they will be going home. russia celebrated long and hard and pretty much knew they were going through anyway after their win against egypt in st petersburg. the streets of moscow were pretty lively last night as well. welcome to moscow! two games in a row, 8—1 overall, what is going on? ! russia on top of group e, going through to the last 16, their fans feeling on top of the world. things in group b will become clearer soon. the final game today kicks off in a few minutes in kazan where spain take on iran, who sprang one of the shocks of the first few days of the tournament when they beat morocco.

so this is a huge night for iran and their coach carlos quiroz, one of sir alex ferguson's former assistants at manchester united. i must say that taking into consideration exactly that environment and the problems that usually we face, the difficulties, if it's not in the top one, he is for sure if it's not in the top one, he is forsure in if it's not in the top one, he is for sure in the top five wins of my entire career. he celebrates and iran have a late winner! they have shown in the past and they are ready to compete. the most important issue is to keep all the minds of humble, with a realistic approach to the game because we play against spain and portugal and as usual in football, nothing is easy, but against spain and portugal, nothing can be easy. we tried to play with

15 or 16 players, but in one way, the referees, they don't notice that, and also spain will want to say that it is someone for players, they must run two players on the pitch. i hope that at the end of the game, this can help the team to be more strong. and team cohesion will be so powerful and so strong that we are able to create some balance. really looking forward to that match, ran against spain. plenty more from moscow later on in the programme. he will not want to miss my interview with the fifa ambassador here, she is also a former miss russia. but for now, back to sarah in the bbc sports centre in salford. let's begin with the tennis at queen's as the men's top seed marin cilic was forced to work, to take his second round win over

at my age, there is still very much stat based. this is a very good score and we aim to be at this level, this team just take as many as you can get on the sky is the limit. that is the way to play the one—day cricket. that is in the 2015 world cup. they said that they play fearless, aggressive cricket and when it all comes off, the sky is delivered. 481—6, i keep saying it, to actually witnessed that was something special. england women are under way against south africa in their t20 tri—series opener at taunton. they won the toss and elected to bat, a short time ago were 199—2. danny miert made 56—6. and earlier today, new zealand posted the highest score in a women's t20 international, after they made 216—1 on the way
