of three t20 games, the first of which is at old trafford in manchester. those matches are followed by three one day internationals and a five—match test series with both captains keen to test themselves against each other. different challenge, particularly when you play against subcontinental teams, it's normally... you know, exposes are suppose, a side like ourselves, australia, south africa, to spin and reverse swing, com pletely to spin and reverse swing, completely different challenges. hopefully we've done enough training, we're in the middle of our summerand training, we're in the middle of our summer and have played a lot of cricket so far, hopefully we will be able to deal with it stop low i have created benchmarks we target to come here and do certain things. the last tour i came here on didn't go well. i'm not expecting anything or putting any targets on it as such, i want the team to play good cricket and lead from the front,

the summer of 2018 is shaping up to be quite memorable. june may be a distant memory, it looks as though the statistics will make it go down in history. this was glasgow last week, june 28 in motherwell, where we saw a high of 33 degrees. we thought that was the hottest june day on record, but it was the hottest day ever recorded in scotland. quite incredible. it looks as though there is little in the way of significant rain in the forecast not only throughout this week but perhaps into next as well. high pressure stays with us, subtle differences. more of an easterly breeze will bring changes and it does mean that first thing in the morning there will be a bit more cloud along the north sea coast and it will be a little bit fresher as we go through the day. further west, with a little more shelter we got that warmth and those temperatures yet again

are set to respond. highest values likely of around 27 degrees, that's 80 fahrenheit, a little bit cooler along the east coast. perhaps a little more pleasant for many. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, the high pressure releases its grip. there's still unlikely to be any significant rain in the forecast, largely quiet, perhaps a little more in the way of cloud around and the threat of a few sharper showers across southern england. very hit and miss but i'm sure there will be welcome news for gardeners and growers out there. as a result of that cloud, temperatures are degree or so down. looking at a high of 20—26 degrees. still a dry story into thursday for most of us, but a weather front, something we've not seen for some time, introducing more in the way of cloud across the northern isles into the western scotland and maybe northern ireland but no significant rain i'm afraid in the forecast. maybe a few isolated showers and the risk of a few showers just threatening across the far south.

the highest values still of 17—28 degrees, 82 fahrenheit. the wind direction looking likely to change again as we move towards the weekend and that will allow those temperatures to climb, with more of a southerly 29 or 30 degrees not out of the question again somewhere in the south. the high pressure establishes itself as we move out of the working week into next weekend. that means that things stay dry, settled and relatively sunny. if you haven't already got the message, it looks likely that the rest of the week will stay often quite sunny, very warm for many with little in the way of significant rain. take care. welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: the moment 12 young boys and their football coach are found alive, after being trapped in a vast cave system in thailand for nine days. it will be a prolonged operation,
