manufacture that? he did very well from 2—0 down. he missed two greens issued a potted but then he settled down, settled into the venue. and he looked comfortable in the venue. i had to be honest played the better snooker in that session. john higginsa snooker in that session. john higgins a little loose, at times. one or two we didn't expect from the master tactician. exactly. they've got a bit help from that. they —— john higgins was not at his best like it was against neil robertson. some misses. and some of the safety shot he played opened up the reds more, made it more free—flowing game which helped dave gilbert to settle down and dave looks more comfortable amongst the balls as we than john higgins did. it has been an entirely different game from the one against neil robertson, which was really tight. john kept it nice and tight and seem comfortable playing like that. doesn't look so comfortable at the moment, but every session is

different. very much looking forward to the second semifinal. judd trump is up against the qualifier, gary wilson. what an amazing story this is. incredible. winning 10-9 in wilson. what an amazing story this is. incredible. winning 10—9 in the first round against luca brecel. everything he has done here is fabulous. i think he will settle down and play well. your matter alive this evening on bbc two at 7:30pm. thereafter, on the red button and online. the tour of yorkshire is under way. the first stage, runs for 111 miles from doncaster to selby. jason hennessy will wear the red king of the mountainsjersey tomorrow after winning the early climb of the day. the race finishes

in leeds on sunday. english golfer tommy fleetwood says he's still hurting after a missed putt at last year's us open denied him the chance to win his first major. he'll get another chance at pebble beach next month. but before that, he's playing host for the british masters, which begins next thursday at hillside golf club, in his home town of southport — and he told me he was determined to bring the event to the north—west. lam i am proud of where i'm from. obviously i think southport is england was capital and i have broke —— i have grown up in that town, where it has been starved of competitive golf, it has the open once every nine years. and the town deserves more than that, it craves it craves it a little bit, so when i got the opportunity, i wanted to be home, to be here, and that was it. it wasn't about to play the event, it was more about who could be there, and the guys enjoying it. you

said it was important to bring it to the north—west. how important is it in generalfor the the north—west. how important is it in general for the british tournaments to get hyped up here? some people who are not around the golf life like we would be, we play in the tour, week in, week out, in different places across the road, and in britain, we get the best crowds, the best fan interaction and eve ryo ne crowds, the best fan interaction and everyone loves playing over here. it is so important to keep those events. the british masters has been a huge event on the tour. it had some years off then came back and did a greatjob of attracting new audiences, like, new kits, which is so audiences, like, new kits, which is so important for the game we love, and it is important to keep these events going. what needs to be done to get more young people involved in golf? it needs to be more accessible. it is getting better but it is still a very traditional sport. it is expensive. we can try and keep that down, butjust making it more accessible, i have kids

myself, and i know that if they can go to the golf club in theirjogging pa nts go to the golf club in theirjogging pants and a t—shirt like that can go to football ago to a restaurant, and just taking the traditions that are there a little bit and letting them enjoy it, ijust think it needs to be made more accessible, in general. next to the london marathon runners who say they were called "fat and slow" by contractors who were clearing up around them. one of the official pacers told the bbc that she and her fellow runners were treated "horrifically" during the race on sunday and were sprayed by chemicals from the road sweepers. emma jones reports. it was a day enjoyed by thousands but for some running the marathon slowly the experience was very different. this woman was working as a volunteer, pay setting for those expecting to finish the course in 7.5 hours. the first mile beaver we re 7.5 hours. the first mile beaver were overtaken by flatbed trucks and transit vans, there was no water, by

the time we got to four miles, they had big orange chemical covered vehicles. for the next 22 miles after that it was an absolute mess. runners were told that they were too fat to run, that if they were slimmer, they would run faster. it was horrendous. it was coming from all sides. runners say they had to dodge collection lorries and deutsche chemical sprays being used to clean the streets. one woman said that her blister had developed into a chemical burn. the event organiser gave this response to the victoria derbyshire programme. we have apologised. we are conducting a detailed investigation about what went on. we are contacting every single runner, using geodata to contact them and find out what went

on and to try to get the same experience to people at the front as to the back. and so it is incredibly disappointing to hear of her experience. london marathon organisers have launched a full investigation. finally, to the fan who twice gave up his food for a baseball. he had the chance to catch this foul ball, and dropped a portion of fries will getting it. this was during la dodgers' 2—1 defeat to san francisco. he had a second go at it, he had gone and got himself a slice of pizza, in between, try to get the ball, didn't manage it, lost the pizza. he got one ball, but not hungry. i would definitely keep the food! bolton have been told by the

efl that their championship fixture against brentford which was postponed last saturday must be played next tuesday. more sport for you throughout the evening. good evening. thursday has been characterised by sunny spells and scattered showers. the showers as we went through the afternoon pretty widespread as you can see, quite intense, as well. a fair amount of cloud across the country with the satellite and rain radar. one minute we had beautiful blue skies and sunshine, and it felt quite one, and the next, threatening looking skies with some of those showers quite heavy indeed. some of the showers will start to fade away this evening. overnight, they will be replaced by a blanket of cloud moving out of scotland. a week with that went through northern ireland,

north—west england, down into the midlands and east anglia. that cold front will introduce a change to the feel of the weather as we move into the weekend. friday is the transition day. as this cold front sinks its way south and west, the isobars squeezed together, the wins will strengthen in the far north of scotland, then coming all the way down from the north, cold, and disappointing for early may. there will be outbreaks of rain from that cold front pushing its way south and west. a wintry flavour to the showers of a higher ground in scotla nd showers of a higher ground in scotland and windy with it, as well. the head of that cold front, we will see temperatures into double figures, may be a site is 15. behind it, a noticeable difference in the feel of the weather on exposed east coast, and factoring in that wind it is going to feel very cold indeed. the cold air pushes south, right across the country, under the influence of these northerly winds.

we could see quite a widespread, light frost first thing on saturday morning. that will be a bit of a shock to the system. a beautiful start with sunshine but there is winds driving showers of the east coast, some of them pushing on line. to the west, we will see the best of the shelter and the best of the world. it will still not be very warm for the time of year with highs of 13, called on the east coast. high pressure starts to build from the west in the second half of the weekend. that will kill off some of the showers. sunday and monday we will have lighter winds, a good deal of dry weather around, but still those temperatures are going to be disappointing for the first week of may.
