time for a look at the weather, here's louise lear. i like to think i am a glass half full person! but even i'm struggling to find the positive in this weather watcher is a story. not a great summer watcher is a story. not a great summer shot. gale force gusts around the coast, circulating around this area of low pressure. the winds driving in across the south—west and actually they have brought a real rash of showers today. some of them have been quite torrential for a time across scotland. frequent showers continuing into scotland, northern ireland and northern england over the last few hours. they continue through this evening. there will be some clearer spells but it's going to be a blustery night with the frequent rash of showers. the only optimistic thing is relatively mild temperatures. we start tomorrow, and we do it all again, to some extent. the area of low pressure is moving into scandinavia, the isoba rs low pressure is moving into scandinavia, the isobars opening up so scandinavia, the isobars opening up so it will be less windy, but still a real rash of showers, starting on

the far north—west, some of them heavy with the odd rumble of thunder pushing into scotland, northern ireland and north west england. shuttered eastern and southern areas are seeing few showers tomorrow and the wind not quite as strong, gusts in excess of around 30 to 35 mph. temperatures, 22 the highest value but a cooler feel in the far north of scotla nd but a cooler feel in the far north of scotland because of the wind direction. that should mean on sunday we should have sure showers around for many of us. certainly in scotla nd around for many of us. certainly in scotland and northern ireland, fewer showers. a few dotted around and temperatures a little bit disappointing, i3 temperatures a little bit disappointing, 13 to 2! degrees. what i really need or want to offer you the next week or something dry, subtle, sunny and warm. but u nfortu nately subtle, sunny and warm. but unfortunately it's going to be slightly below par for the time of year. more rain to come. louise, thanks for that.

hello and welcome to sportsday. i'mjohn watson. the headlines tonight... a maiden test century from zak crawley puts england in control against pakistan. blustery conditions at royal troon — sweden's daniela holmqvist leads the way. manchester united captain harry maguire‘s arrested in mykonos. we'll be live at old trafford shortly. also ahead tonight, we'll look ahead to tonight's europa league final. and the mastermind behind british rowing's success. but why isjurgen grobler leaving his job a year out from the next olympics? he isa he is a leader, a legend and somebody that you

i’ow row for. good evening. blustery conditions in southampton as well today on day! of the third test. zak crawley, gnome he is smiling, handling those conditions better than anyone, i7! handling those conditions better than anyone, 17! not out. —— no wonder he is smiling. he has set the platform for what england hope will be a series—clinching victory against pakistan, in what is the last test of the summer. let's get the latest from southampton. henry moeran is there. as far as performances go, it was hugely impressive from zak crawley and he really has made the platform for england, hasn't he come in this test match? he really has. and considering the position he found himself in with wickets falling at the other end and real pressure

being put on by this pakistan bowling attack, huge credit to some of the still fresh in his test career, his first test century. litter mind you the big situation when the big ship between he and jos buttler came together. the wickets ofjoe root buttler came together. the wickets of joe root and buttler came together. the wickets ofjoe root and ali pope in quick succession. —— 0llie pope. at that point, 250 looks a real... but the partnership between zak crawley and jos buttler has been outstanding. crawley i7! jos buttler has been outstanding. crawley 17! not out and huge credit to jos buttler, crawley 17! not out and huge credit tojos buttler, who is on 87 not out. this has been the huge partnership england have needed and the partnership in recent years they haven't managed to put together in the middle order, so crawley and jos buttler, they have been in a good way. huge pressure on pakistan, and

crawley ca n way. huge pressure on pakistan, and crawley can sleepless night having had his first test century. an interesting position for inland. you need to come in and study the innings and push some pressure back on the opponents, and he did that today. do we think we are seeing signs that could be someone who could perhaps cemented that position permanently now? certainly. it has been a problem position. joe root has batted third on occasion, but he doesn't like doing it, he likes putting forth. it is certainly the absence of ben stokes come away for personal reasons, has given crawley the chance to bat here. this is the final test match for england in twe nty20, final test match for england in twenty20, he has made such a statement here of battling the tough conditions both in terms of the opponents but also this blustery wind we have had blowing around southampton. he has gutted it out

today, played really well, and i think he can be fairly certain he will be a main fixture for this england side certainly the next 12 to 18 months. certainly. and we will see how he fears tomorrow. henry moeran life for us, thank you very much indeed. equally blustery at royal troon. day two of the women's open. sweden's daniela holmqvist leads. 0ur colf gorrespondent iain carter is on the links. we will come to daniela in a moment to him about about the brits... tricky day once again. as far as the british contingent was concerned, catriona matthew was the surprise vanguard of it, really, after an excellent first day. she got off to a good start today, the 51 euros, but that has slipped down that leaderboard after the strong start. there was a double bogey at the 12,

so that did not help —— the 51—year—old. she has tumbled down the leaderboard for sub so too georgia hall, she was at 76, sissy is finished says she has finished at 7—over part. and charlie holcomb she will be missing the cut. as we were saying, it is daniel holmquist who leads. —— charley hull. do you think, conditions as they are, she is the person to beat but can she stay there, having demonstrated she has handled it so well today?” think there was every hope she can because she will feel that she is through the rest of the weather, but it is still going to be blowing on saturday. sunday looks the best day as far as the weather is concerned, an awful long way to go. she is 32 yea rs of an awful long way to go. she is 32 years of age, she is best known for surviving a spider bite from a poisonous spider, but her approach to the 18 today setting up as one of

the very few subpar rounds, a 70, outstanding. 69 the lowest score today, a handful of players have managed that. the highlight a chip infor birdie managed that. the highlight a chip in for birdie at the 11th. fascinating stuff. many thanks indeed for that tonight. we will be getting more from iain as that reaches its conclusion. iain carter there at royal troon. next tonight, the manchester united captain harry maguire is said to be co—operating with authorities after being arrested last night following an altercation with police on the greek island of mykonos. 0lly foster is outside old trafford for us tonight. 0lly, what's the latest? harry mcguire, the club captain, we found out this morning through club channels that come as you say come he was fully cooperating with the greek authorities —— harry maguire. after an incident on mykonos, on a holiday, with a number of other manchester united stars. their

season does not get going for an month now. they have been given extra time offer excursions in europe. harry maguire, the most expensive defender, joining less of her. greek police, they've issued this statement since the last couple of hours, claiming that they had to intervene in an altercation around midnight on the greek island also thatis midnight on the greek island also that is when the curfew is actually because of new covid restrictions, a fight between two groups outside a bar, and it does then they claimed that three men, including maguire, verbally and physically assaulted one of their officers, the three men, all british, then escorted to a police station. it is then claimed by the greek police that, upon arrival, they strongly resisted pushing and hitting, three police officers in that then one of the detainees tried to offer money to avoid any further action. the police

say a file has now been opened, this isa say a file has now been opened, this is a greek legal speak. charges have not been brought they've opened this file, and some of the accusations in that our violence against officials, bodily harm, insults, attempted bribery of an official come all very serious accusations. it must be said we do not know exactly the specifics of what harry maguire have been accused of but that he and the two men spent the night in a cell in mykonos and since then, they have been transported by boat to a neighbouring island, which is the sort of regional head of the whole area, taking in mykonos. they are now going to have to face a prosecutor, who is going to decide what charges to bring against any of the three men, but that is not going to happen today. they are two hours ahead, far too late in the day, so it is another night in the cells for harry maguire and the other british men. there is a legal

representative, he has guided local representative, he has guided local representative looking after him there, who said that maguire is well, he denies any wrongdoing and he says that he is convinced that his client, harry maguire, will be released tomorrow. 0k, olly, we relate —— we await any further develop his. at old trafford, thank you very much. well, harry maguire could well have been playing in tonight's europa league final. instead, his side were knocked out by sevilla in the semifinals. the spanish side look to win the trophy for a sixth time, but face a number of ex—premier league stars featuring for inter milan, asjoe lynskey can tell us in that final in germany. evening, joe. it really is a bit of a fascinating mashup, isn't it? evening, joe. it really is a bit of a fascinating mashup, isn't mm is. as you say, there may not be a premier league side in cologne for this europa league final, but there are still be plenty of familiar names for fans here to keep an eye on tonight.

manchester united fans especially will know what to expect from inter milan, who've signed three players from old trafford this season. all of them were deemed surplus to requirements under ole gunnar solskjaer, but all of them in their own way have been rejuvenated at the san siro. romelu lukaku finished with 23 goals for the season. inter have also been helped by christian eriksen, from tottenham hotspur, and victor moses — who's played his part in a loan move from chelsea. and those players have been stitched together by a manager who won the premier league title with chelsea three years ago. you might remember antonio conte was then sacked at the end of the following season despite that trophy, and after a year away from football, this season, he's taken inter to the next level. this is a club who've spent much of the last decade underachieving before he came in last summer. they used to struggle to make the top four — but this year, conte came this close to beating the dominantjuventus to the league title. inter haven't won a trophy since 2011, and this is their first european final since jose mourinho won the champions league with them ten years ago.

so what's conte done to turn things around? lukaku isa lukaku is a player can't take always wanted to work with. now he finally has the chance and he is the biggest player for inter milan. work is very important. it is very often player say, i have not worked so hard as with antonio conte. either they are all lying or they are all saying the truth and it is true, so the team, from the physical and mental point of view, initial the season on a high and we haven't seen this for a long while at inter. translation: we should be proud that we have reached a final for the first time in ten years, especially

ata first time in ten years, especially at a club such as inter. but ultimately, history is written by the winners. history will be written by those who win the europa league and not the runners—up. as for sevilla, they've won the europa league five times this century, most recently beating liverpool injurgen klopp's first european finalfour years ago. and should sevilla win tonight, it'll be redemption for their manager. if you cast your mind back to the world cup in russia two years ago, julen lopetegui was the man who was sacked by spain just days before the tournament started — he'd signed to become real madrid's manager, which the spanish federation didn't like. then, once he got to madrid, he was sacked by october. lopetegui earned his reputation managing spain's youth sides, so if he wins this game tonight, it'll be his first major title in club football. sevilla have beaten wolves and manchester united to reaching this final,

so after beating premier league players of the present, john, tonight, they'll hope to beat those premier league players of the past. it's going to be a fascinating matchup, isn't it? joe, thank you very much for that. glasgow city were hoping to reach the semi—finals of the women's champions league for the first time in their history. but they've come up against a very strong side in german champions wolfsburg in san sebastian in spain. they were 4—0 down by half time and are currently trailing 8—1. a tough time for them tonight. barcelona have taken the lead on atletico madrid. not want to that one. “— atletico madrid. not want to that one. —— not want to go in that one. this is sportsday on bbc news. a quick look at the day's other headlines. former barcelona forward henrik larsson'sjoined ronald koeman's coaching staff at the nou camp. he won the champions league, two league titles and the spanish super cup as a player at the club.
