concentrate on the ball and i never thought this would happen, so try and make sure it does. definitely times where i've thought that my race was run, yeah. when he got out he was caught lbw, that sparked a flurry of wickets, ba i rstow, works that sparked a flurry of wickets, bairstow, works and ben stokes. it was up to adil rashid to take this into the fifth day. it might only last one ball. it is inevitable that india will make the series 2—1 with two matches to play. we were happy, even as the ball got older. we have to believe that if we keep on applying pressure sometime or other we will get the result. the second new ball because of the new scene, it was seeming a little bit more

than the other ball. that was helping as well. i was focusing on that and we were trying to get —— we are trying to get one wicket, not too far ahead take one wicket at time. on day 3 of the asian games in indonesia, china and japan once again dominated proceedings in the aquatics centre. liu xiang set a new world record on her way to victory in the women's 50 metres backstroke. the 21—year—old chinese swimmer, who won bronze at the world championships three years ago, became the first woman to break 27 seconds for the event when she clocked 26.98 to claim the first major gold medal of her career. another day and another gold medalfor chinese superstar sun yang. he won the men's 400 metres freestyle to claim his third gold medal of the games. silver and bronze both went to japan. for sun, it's the 20th major gold medal of his career. and gold, too, for china in the women's 4x200 metres freestyle relay.

well, in the last few days it's been pretty warm across the uk, with temperatures in the high 20s across the south. we've got another fine day on the way on wednesday across central and southern areas of the uk. you'll probably see scenes like this from tuesday, lovely weather there around the docklands in london. but there is change on the way. this weather front will cool things off over the next few days, but initially, the cooler air will be reaching scotland and northern ireland. but ahead of it, we still have warm air coming in all the way from the azores, from the subtropics here, so that's why it's so warm outside. in fact, temperatures overnight around the mid—teens across much of the country. now, the weather front will be moving across the uk through the early hours of wednesday morning. it's already been wet across scotland, parts of northern ireland too have seen quite a bit of rain, and that's just about moving into south—western scotland now. to the south of that, it's dry. where the skies clear, there might be a little bit of a chill in the air, 13 degrees for norwich.

but generally, where we have the cloud, it's around 15, 16,17 degrees. so this is very warm and humid air over us first thing in the morning. here is the weather front. this is a cold front, or a cool front, you can call it in the summer. behind it, the cooler air comes in, much fresher air, so scotland and northern ireland in the afternoon will be quite a bit cooler. you can see those yellow colours here indicating those lower temperatures in the north atlantic, mostly around the teens — 17 in belfast, only 1a in stornoway, but to the south, we've got temperatures in the high teens. and then this central bit here, around northern england and wales, that's where the weather front is moving through, so the chance of catching, i think, some rain during the course of wednesday. now, wednesday into thursday, these weather fronts, in fact a succession of them, start moving through the uk. and then, behind it, and the forecast has been the same for the last few days.

we have this much fresher air coming in off the north atlantic and iceland, so that cooler air starts invading the uk on thursday. 0ne weather front moves through the south—east earlier in the day, so possibly some rain. again, more weatherfronts and showers moving into scotland and northern ireland, and also a bit of a breeze. these are winds in miles per hour. you can double these, so winds gusting perhaps to 30 mph there off western scotland, but cool already on thursday. you can see temperatures in the low 20s in the south, in the mid—teens for belfast, glasgow and for edinburgh. how about the next few days? well, it looks like the temperatures might pick up a little bit, but not awful lot, and cardiff might be up to 19 by monday, possibly 21 in london by monday, but it will be quite changeable. bye— bye. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: president trump's former personal lawyer michael cohen pleads guilty to breaking campaign finance rules. in court under oath, he says he committed the crimes at the direction of the candidate. and another dark cloud for the president. his former campaign manager
