and sri lanka beat west indies by four wickets to win the third and final test in barbados and level the series at 1—1. hello there and welcome to the programme. plenty to get through. we start with news from the fifa world cup in russia, and there were plenty of twists and turns on tuesday. argentina scored late to salvage their campaign and progress to the last 16, meaning heartache for nigeria. while elsewhere, denmarkjoined france in the knockout stages after playing out a goalless draw — the first of the tournament, and olly foster has been watching. we're had another one of those walcott knights here in russia. argentina had just minutes left before they would be packing their bags to home, before a winner extended their stand not doubt nigeria. —— stay and knocked out

nigeria. —— stay and knocked out nigeria. it was almost unthinkable. argentina lose and they were out of the world cup. in lionel messi's pursuit of greatness, now was the time and he did not disappoint. after too much weight, the magician announced himself in russia. belief, but just as argentina announced himself in russia. belief, butjust as argentina finally look like a force going forward, a mistake at the back, a call for a foul, the ball fell to victor moses. pressure, what pressure? bat 1700 kilometres away, another penalty almost spoiled croatia's party. iceland drew level field goal from gylfi sigurdsson on the spot. the challenge eventually melted. croatia winning it. back in saint petersburg, twirling argentina were on the brink. in desperate need of a

helping hand, they got it from a most unlikely source. a defender with a strike even lionel messi would've been that of. friends once again failing to impress. the goalless draw with denmark enough to send the danes do as well. the pru, it was all about history. the south americans —— the australians heading home, —— the sad south americans heading home, but it was not a bad way to go. the former argentine defender, who is part of the bbc sport team over the road, says victory showed just how much argentina depend on lionel messi.m the last five minutes, he may two great tackles, chasing the ball, and that was great for him. this is why, what i want to see from lionel messi

as well, because he is talking to the teammates at half—time before coming up to the pitch. he is the leader, he knows that, and they need the best lionel messi. to those two terrible performances from argentina can all be put to one side, as they managed to get passed nigeria and into the last 16. —— so. a victory which saved lionel messi from a sad end his world cup career and a victory which saved the coach's job but questions remain for him. yes, we saw some lionel messi magic. that first touch, that swerve and that finish for the first goal was a joy to behold inside the stadium, but for too long in the game, particularly in the first half, he was isolated and his teammates failed to find him in dangerous positions. that will have to change against france. also, the experienced midfielder was a worry,

he looked up the pace at times. messi gave his manager huget the end of the game. messi himself admitted afterwards that they suffered more than they ever thought they would in his opening group stage. now we will find out if messi can make other teams suffer in the knockout rounds. so with four groups concluded now, we know who is going to be playing who at the weekend. first up on saturday, it is the 1998 champions france, will be up against argentina. what a start that will be. —— who will. that game takes place in his arm. your uruguay plays portable in sochi. —— uruguay at play is portugal. let's ta ke —— uruguay at play is portugal. let's take a look at what is in store for wednesday's final group game is. in group f, all teams are

still in with a chance. it would ta ke still in with a chance. it would take something extraordinary fit to be south korea. they have to beat germany by a few and hope for a decisive win by either mexico or sweden in their game. switzerland should go through. they would have the big beat in by at least two goals by costa rica, who are the only team playing on sunday without a chance of making the last 16. there are two days of these final games, before a rest day for everyone, and then a final knockout round gets going. now to cricket, where sri lanka have become the first asian team to win a test match at kensington 0val in barbados, having beaten west indies by four wickets to win the third and final test and level the series at 1—1. after losing the first test and drawing the second, the visitors needed victory to salvage something — and having removed the hosts forjust 93 runs on the third day, resumed their second innings on 81/5, before reaching the modest victory target for the loss ofjust one more wicket. india's cricketers are in ireland

she beat kateryna bondarenko in the second round of the eastbourne international. the world number eight won in birmingham last week and had few proplems with bondarenko. the czech won in straight sets and plays poland's former world number two, agnieszka radwanska, in the last 16. former world number one angelique kerber is also through after she won 6—3, 6—3 against 2016 champion, dominika cibulkova. fourth seed kerber‘s victory included 26 winners, and the german will now face american danielle collins in the third round. britain'sjohanna konta eased through to the third round, beating aleksandra krunic 6—1, 6—3. the 27—year—old lost to serbian krunic in the opening round of last year's final grand slam, the us open, but produced a dominant performance here to set up a match with top seed caroline wozniacki. in major league baseball, nathan eovaldi led the way from the pitching plate, as the tampa bay rays beat the washington nationals

1—0 on tuesday. in a match littered with incident, this effort from mallex smith as he went over the wall chasing an anthony rendon foul ball saw him survive to fight another day, despite not getting the result he was after. eovaldi pitched six shutout innings, although the match ended with another pitcher in. sergio romo ending it as he then found the benches empty in what was a nasty tempered ending, although the rays took both games of the series against the nationals. and that is about all we have got time for on this edition of sport today. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the sport today team, bye for now. well, it does look as though there could be some slightly cooler

weather, with a little bit of rain on the way, but not until the end of the weekend and into next week. in the short—term, well, the heatwave's just going to continue for the next few days, and into the weekend as well. and in fact, on wednesday, the highest temperatures are expected across, potentially at least, scotland and northern ireland. temperatures could hit 30 celsius, and it will be quite a bit cooler closer to the north sea coast. so this high pressure's very much in charge of the weather, notjust across the uk, but much of western europe and across scandinavia too, even in stockholm and oslo, the temperatures have been skyrocketing. so through the early hours of wednesday morning, it's a case of clear skies. there will be some low cloud lapping onto the coastlines, some mist and fog as well. so for some of us in the eastern counties, it is a case of grey skies first thing in the morning, but only briefly, and then quickly that sea threat will burn back to the coast and we'll get that sunshine. so it's a sunny, hot day across much of the country, and again, the highest temperatures are expected across scotland

and northern ireland. but there will be a huge contrast in the temperatures. for example, look at that north sea coastal strip, even across scotland. the yellows there indicate much lower temperatures, and anywhere from newcastle, hull, into norwich — not spectacularly high, the temperatures here. in fact, in the low 20s, and all of that heat, because of the wind, is being pushed in the direction of western britain. so this is where we're going to see the high temperatures — again, the west midlands, into wales. now, that eastern coast may hang on to some of that low cloud notjust into wednesday, but into thursday as well. but we're mostly talking about the mornings. so again, in the morning, we could be waking up to some clouds in the east, and those temperatures may be getting up to 21, whereas across northern ireland and scotland here, where we've got more sunshine and those clear skies right from the word go, highs will be getting up into the high 20s, and quite possibly breaking 30 degrees. and then somewhat cooler, i think, by the time we get to friday. temperatures in belfast back down to around 25 celsius,

but they may rise a little bit across the south. now, here's the outlook into the weekend. temperatures modestly high in belfast, around 21 or 22 degrees, but perhaps picking up into the high 20s. not far off 30 there across southern parts of the uk. now, i mentioned that there is a change on the way. looks as though thunderstorms across the south will be developing as we head into the weekend, and they could be drifting northwards probably sunday night into monday, but at the moment it's a low risk. there's no guarantee, and not necessarily cooling off all that much, so there is a change on the way towards the weekend. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is lewis vaughanjones. our top stories: a victory for president trump, as the us supreme court upholds the travel ban targeting five muslim—majority countries. many migrants now face a more uncertain future. we have a special report from the us—mexico border. fresh claims of atrocities against myanmar‘s rohingya minority. amnesty international accuses the country's army chiefs. and a last—gasp goal from argentina
