ahead of their title defence. well, i think for now, until now it has been going on really good, because we have been working hard, having good coaches, without having to show us our strategies and so on. despite the weather conditions, we are working on that. it is the same whether we will meet in egypt. for now things are going all well —— weather. it's the third men's golf major of the year at pebble beach in california, the us open, and 2011 champion rory mcilroy is in the clubhouse at 3—under—par after an opening round of 68. the northern irishman had one blip with a bogey on the 10th but he's only two off the leaders which include former major winner louis oosthuizen. i think my average for the last three years of this tournament is a lwa ys three years of this tournament is always 78.2. so why am happy with this. it is my first round in the ‘605 this. it is my first round in the ‘60s ina this. it is my first round in the ‘60s in a us open since chambers bay

in 2015. so it was out there. benign conditions. you know, it is a very soft start to a us open. which is a good thing, because you are com pletely good thing, because you are completely in control of the golf course, they can do whatever they wa nt course, they can do whatever they want your. to be able to win a us open would be, would be very, you know, magical to me. open would be, would be very, you know, magicalto me. it open would be, would be very, you know, magical to me. it would be something that anyone can dream of winning an open and a us open, you know, this, ithink winning an open and a us open, you know, this, i think pebble to me is one of my favourite if not my favourite venue for the us open. an unwanted record was extended further at the cricket world cup in england on thursday, when rain intervened once again. the match between india and new zealand at trent bridge in nottingham was abandoned without a ball being bowled. that made it three complete washouts at this world cup, with no play at all — and it's the fourth match to end

with "no result". the previous highest number of washed out games in a world cup was only two — in 1992 and 2003. india and new zealand both get a point each — and both remain unbeaten in the tournament. reserve days, i think, are going to bea reserve days, i think, are going to be a logistical nightmare. the acc have made that fairly well known. u nfortu nately, have made that fairly well known. unfortunately, i think, have made that fairly well known. unfortunately, ithink, it's have made that fairly well known. unfortunately, i think, it's really an anomaly when you look at the amount of days we have lost already. they think it's the biggest amount of days lost in a world cup ever. so we can't do much about that. we just have to do, guess, push on with what the schedule is. now to cycling, where chris froome could be confirmed as the winner of the 2011 vuelta a espana afterjuan jose cobo was found guilty of an anti—doping violation. froome finished second, before going on to win the first of his six grand tours in 2013 at the tour de france. the news comes as froome is in intensive care in a french hospital following a high—speed crash in a training ride at the criterium du dauphine, in which he suffered multiple fractures.

while wout van aert made it back to back wins at the criterium de dauphine when he sprinted clear to win stage five on thursday. the belgian held off ireland's sam bennett and france's julian alaphilippe while britain's adam yates maintained his overall lead after finishing 12th in the flat 229km stage from boen—sur—lignon to voiron. to athletics, and the diamond league moved to oslo on thursday where more than 111,000 people watched home favourite karsten warholm win the a00m hurdles. the 24—year—old broke the european record with his run of 117.33 seconds in a season's best performance to claim victory. the world champion held off ireland's thomas barr who set a season best with kyron mcmaster of the british virgin islands fading away to third. at the shorter distances christian coleman pulled away in the middle of the race to run the fastest 100m of the year. the american who's the reigning diamond league champion recorded a time of 9.85 seconds.

and in the women's 200m, dutch athlete dafne schippers produced a convincing 22.56 second run in chilly conditions. the two—time world champion will also race in rabat on sunday. now to tennis, and thursday was a day of upsets at the stuttgart open in germany with top seed alexander zverev among those to go out in the second round. the 22—year—old lost in three sets to fellow german dustin brown. the 34—year—old brown won the first set 6—4 and held the upper hand before zverev levelled it by winning the second in a tie—break but brown made the decisive break in the eighth game of the third set and served out for victory and he'll now play felix auger aliassime who was too good for gilles simon. game six in the nba finals heads out in the coming minutes in california, with toronto raptors on the verge of creating history. golden state warriors bid farewell to oakland before moving to san francisco next season, with the raptors 3—2 up against the defending champions who'll be minus the injured kevin durant.

a win would mean a first ever championship title for a canadian side with nick nurse on the cusp of something special in his first year as a head coach but could it be that the away team has the advantage? for some reason they think both teams are really good road teams and have been all season. that's one thing. two really tough—minded teams playing. and you've got to be a little bit more tough—minded, you know, on the road. and i think, you know, on the road. and i think, you know, i think a lot of those games could have one either way, about the momentum changed with the ended up winning them. updates of that of the next couple of hours. the us open, you can go to the website for all the latest, but they can tell you there is a four way tie for the lead, keith fowler, louis was tarzan, and the american are all on five under. brooks koepka

is two shots of the pace. until next time, goodbye for now. hello. as the flooding and disruption continues, particularly across parts of england, some spots have had three months' worth ofjune rainfall and just a week, over 150 millimetres in the wettest places. still rain in the forecast but not necessarily the same areas, as low pressure adopts a new position to the north—west of the uk in the coming days, means showers are most frequent in the north and the west. and there is, as friday starts, a fresh area of rain affecting parts of england and wales, also rain in north—west scotland. fairly chilly for the clearer parts of scotland and northern ireland as the day begins. but where you start the day with rain, things should improve as we go through the day, it should brighten up and it will be an afternoon of sunshine and showers. here's a look at things at 8:00 in the morning. so you're in the rain in north—west scotland, especially into the western isles, one or two showers elsewhere, but where you have got the clear skies and here

into northern ireland, too, your temperature could be around the mid single figures as the day first starts. but you can see the outbreaks of rain from northern england, the midlands into wales, perhaps affecting parts of south—west england, perhaps the odd showery burst towards the south—east. but the further south—east you are, may well be seeing some sunshine as the day begins. so on through the day then, you can pick out the two areas of rainfall but they are slowly easing and things start to brighten up. more widely so by the afternoon, it is sunshine, showers, may be heavy and thundery, very few for east anglia and south—east england, perhaps up to 20 celsius here. for most of us here it will feel a bit warmer, especially where you've had days stuck in the rain. going through friday evening, we'll see another area of rain, this time pushing into northern ireland, and then feeding on towards south—west scotland, wales and western england as saturday starts. ahead of that, it will be mainly clear bar the odd shower. that takes us on to the weekend, the big picture has low pressure here to the north—west of us, it will be feeding in weather disturbances from the west this time, and this is the first one we are contending with on saturday morning. so it will be an area of cloud,

some showery rain out of that, slowly moving further east as the day goes on. ahead of it, sunny spells, maybe a shower. behind it, sunny spells and the chance of catching a shower. on a fairly breezy day with temperatures topping out in the mid to high teens. now, part two of the weekend on sunday, if anything, it looks a little bit breezier, and it will be another day of sunshine and showers. now the showers most frequent in the north and west where again it could be heavy and possibly thundery, some though, will push a little bit further east on the breeze during the day. showers — not everybody will catch one. and again, temperatures mostly in the mid—to high teens. that's your latest forecast. i'll see you soon.
