appetite, this was it. australia winning the quad series. england's roses with the momentum board. they beat australia in an impressive display. that was short of the margin they needed. that shock defeat to south africa on saturday really cost them. the sellout crowd retreated. in an earlier match, new zealand had their first match of the series. what would learn is the top level of netball is more competitive than ever before. when the world's best teams meet in liverpool in july, if this is anything to go by, it promises to be a real rollercoaster ride. judd trump put in a brilliant performance to thrash seven—time champion ronnie o'sullivan and win his first snooker masters title. a closely fought classic was expected between two of snooker‘s biggest draws, but the match turned into a comprehensive rout for trump. 10 frames to 4 was the score with trump becoming the 23rd different name on the paul hunter trophy and collecting $260,000

in prize money. it's incredible. i've obviously went to this. it's been sort of separate use and someone the last big one in the uk and obviously at times, you are thinking of the next big tournament so to come here, this is close to home now, 20 minutes away, my local tournament, it's a dream true. i've always been 0k, my local tournament, it's a dream true. i've always been ok, i can't complain but when you lose a final you are naturally disappointed. with finals and wins, they don't really mean much at the moment. i suppose when they reflect, will probably think it's not been too bad but tonight wasjudged's think it's not been too bad but tonight was judged's day and it deserved the victory and a fantastic crowd and it's been a pleasure to be here. lots more on our website bbc.com/sport. from me chetan pathak and the rest of the sport today team, for now goodbye.

hello. eyes to the skies for the total lunar eclipse. there are some areas of cloud around england and wales, some high cloud in scotland and northern ireland that may limit the views, so good luck! the blue indicating where there's a frost around. in fact, more widespread frost to start monday compared with sunday, so that is indicative of that. there are some breaks in the cloud, allowing temperatures to drop away for quite a widespread frost, then, for the start of monday. underneath this ridge of high pressure, giving the first half of the day for most of us some quiet weather but things are going to change. a more vigorous weather system is approaching from the north—west. that quite quickly is going to thicken the cloud even further in scotland and northern ireland. the winds pick up as well — gusts eventually towards 60 miles an hour, i think,
1:56 am
in the western isles — and then here comes the wet weather, moving into northern ireland, into western scotland through the afternoon and into the evening. some hill snow again, especially in scotland. ahead of that, though, much of eastern scotland, much of england and wales — at least during daylight hours — will stay dry. quite a bit of cloud around, some hazy brightness here and there. probably some good sunshine in kent. it is a cold day though, around 4—8 degrees. this wet weather pushes south, then, monday evening and night. snow to the hills in scotland, the pennines, maybe some snow to lower levels, some wet snow and some heavier bursts. squally winds as that moves south as well. clearing behind it, notice some wintry showers coming in towards the north—west for the start of tuesday — a sign of things to come on tuesday. temperatures dipping again behind this weather system to give a touch of frost going into tuesday morning. so that weather system pushes away early on tuesday from the far
1:57 am
south—east and a flow of quite cold air coming in from the north—west on which we will see these wintry showers. some sunshine too, but the showers into northern and western scotland, northern ireland, wales, western england. snow notjust on hills out of these. get a heavy shower, even to lower levels, you could see a brief covering, and it will start to drift a little bit further eastwards on through tuesday on that north—westerly wind, which will make it feel colder. now, as we look ahead to wednesday, still a few of these showers running in towards the west. quite a bit of sunshine elsewhere. could start to pick up some showers, too, towards east anglia and south—west england going into wednesday night—early thursday. that could give a little bit of snow in places so be aware of that potential. but actually in the second half of the week, there is quite a bit of dry weather around. some sunshine at times. frosty nights. friday, the atlantic weather system brings thicker cloud towards parts of scotland and northern ireland but at that stage, becomes a little less cold. end of the week, looks it turns colder again, though, next weekend. much of this week is cold. sunshine and wintry showers with snow in places, some frosty nights to come. welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in north america
