comes that fading away and then here comes that crowd, wind and rain and where we put in those green and yellow areas thatis put in those green and yellow areas that is where we see the heaviest of the rainfall. temperatures down in single figures in the north of scotla nd single figures in the north of scotland overnight. very wet and windy indeed, piling its way north. moving out of england and wales and then returning to the north of england and north of wales later in the day. and here comes the strength of the wind, 40, 50 miles an hour widely across scotland and northern ireland and through the irish sea coastal fringes. even 50, ireland and through the irish sea coastalfringes. even 50, 50 ireland and through the irish sea coastal fringes. even 50, 50 five miles an hour in inland areas distinctly possible and with that surface water around, tricky driving conditions. 22 degrees in the south if and when the sun comes out. feeling more like autumn up in aberdeen. and on wednesday low

6:33 pm
yes very good evening and welcome along. the patience of fast bowler james anderson's certainly been tested in pursuit of a landmark 600th test wicket. england's leading wicket taker is just two short of becoming the first fast bowler to reach that milestone. but has seen numerous chances go begging as dropped catches, the weather and some pakistan defiance has left england frustrated on day four of the third and final test. with some bad light playing its part at the ends of the day today. henry moeran is there. henry, we'll come to the story of the match shortly. but the headlines have been written, james anderson and that special 600th test wicket. he's been left frustrated still in pursuit of 600. yes, he's right on
6:34 pm
the brink you may have been hearing the brink you may have been hearing the noise because bad light has stopped play and james anderson will have to conclude this day on 599 test wicket. the day started with frustration before the first band of rain came whenjosh butler dropped a really poor opportunity. the batsmen at a catch that should've taken anderson onto 599 test wickets. as it was, he did eventually after that rain interruption get the breakthrough that got him on the brink. but he hasn't quite been able to get that breakthrough that will take them to somewhere where no fastball has ever been. tojoin the somewhere where no fastball has ever been. to join the 600 somewhere where no fastball has ever been. tojoin the 600 club and somewhere where no fastball has ever been. to join the 600 club and test match cricket wicket takers. and the only three above him all spin bowlers. and wasn't really in uncharted territory for some he's going to have to wait a little bit longer. it's remarkable, isn't it for a longer. it's remarkable, isn't it fora man longer. it's remarkable, isn't it for a man who was 38 years old? he seems to get better with age. as far as the match is concerned we know that pakistan started at 310 runs behind. but with the weather playing as part today more rain forecast
6:35 pm
tomorrow. england are really running out of time now potentially are they to win this has not? yes. i think pakistan will feel fairly confident this evening that they can save this match. just to wickets have fallen in the day for the top we have that long stop. three hours without any cricket for the betting has been patient and they've managed to survive. that's the most important thing from their point of view. getting out of this match with a draw. when england hit 583 for eight in the first inning the option of a win was always gone. to get out of this game with a drop would be a real achievement. and we know that the weather is coming. it's moving in from the west. an overnight we are going to see a lot of rain in here in southhampton for some how much play we get to more remains to be seen if any at all. it could be job done for pakistan or a very big challenge for england and the limited time are likely to get tomorrow to get the remaining eight wickets on how with like one of those wickets to go to james anderson. and head like it himself. many thanks indeed for that tonight. what a night it was for bayern munich,
6:36 pm
their sixth european title. this the goal that sealed it, and those brilliant celebrations that followed, in that one nil win over paris saint germain in lisbon last night. joe lynskey has been looking at how they did it. and joe it wasn't quite the goal fest we were expecting. but we talk so much about buying success in europe, certainly what psg have tried to do. but for bayern this win was really masterminded from inside the club. the manager that they've appointed as well. not only that we saw the goal—scorer last night who well to use a phrase, certainly one of their own, is any? interesting and ironic that after all that money that paris st. germain has spent since they we re st. germain has spent since they were bought back in 2011. it was a player who came through their own. youth academy system who scored the goal to beat them in the champions league final. this was how kingsley coleman reaction on social media. to buy them unix sixth champions league
6:37 pm
title. that wasn't quite as eye—catching as levied on skis post on instagram. he woke up in his lisbon hotel room next to the trophy as you can see there. that was after as you can see there. that was after a night that went on into the early hours there manager said there is no deadline on how long they will be celebrating. now back in munich and presumably carrying the party on back home. this has been a real story of redemption. but not both for them and their manager. flick was appointed as boss in november. the day after they lost five —— one it to frankfurt. didn't immediately click for flick either because the following month that slipped down to seventh in the bundes league table. after the winter break in germany this by munich team has been unstoppable. if 20 20s by getting you down the perhaps by our the team to start supportive. they have at since the turn of the year. they won
6:38 pm
25 of their 26 batches either side of the lockdown. remarkably, it's been masterminded by a man who they thought would only be in temporary charge. few fans have even heard of flick when he became their manager. he had spent eight years as germany's assistant manager before going to bavaria last year. he also was part of the coaching set of the wonder world cup for germany for that now he's guided byron to a travel of trophies. they are also the first team in a champions league season to win every match of the competition from the group stage right the way through to the final. you don't just you don'tjust win three titles overnight. it was hard work. i remember november the paper wrote that no one fears this team anymore. that no one respects it and how bad they are. i think the growth they underwent is sensational. the quality increased each training
6:39 pm
session. and this resulted in better matches. i have to give a massive complement to my team. we work hard oi'i complement to my team. we work hard on becoming this successful. this season. and it was simply work. well flick signed a three year contract when bayern made him permanent boss, he'll want to prove he's no one season wonder when the campaign restarts, and bayern will have leroy sane, signed from manchester city this summer, to improve their attacking line—up. but one important player could leave them, midfielder thiago alcantara hasn't signed a new contract, and there's speculation he could sign for liverpool before the transfer window closes. so that's what's next for bayern john what about the future of the champions league. this one—city knockout format has brought some really exciting matches post—lockdown, and the uefa president hasn't ruled out bringing it in more permanently. alexandr ceferin says.
6:40 pm
we were forced to do it but in the end we found something new. we were forced to do it but in the end we found something new. ultimately any decision will probably come down to what broadcasters want and how uefa stand to profit, but it's worth noting though that even if changes happen, they can't be brought in until 2024. this is sportsday on bbc news. let's look at some other headlines... usain bolt says he's self isolating after undergoing a test for coronavirus. although he says he doesn't currently have any symptoms. it comes days after he hosted a party to celebrate his 34th birthday. alex dowsett missed out on a medal in the time trial at cycling's ‘ézfiéba—“b—zfi'; tetra—£2“; gem;- won to claim his first individual road title. and anna van der breggen beat her dutch compatriot and reigning champion ellen van dijk by thirty seconds to win the women's title. britain's lizzy banks and hayley
6:41 pm
simmonds were 13th and 16th. now, the paralympic games in tokyo are due to get underway a year today. the pandmic forcing its postponment. it is raising serious questions for para—athletes over their health and well being — travelling to tokyo and contracting the virus could have serious implications. and as five time gold medallist hannah cockroft has been telling sally nugent this all comes on top of a training regime which has been severly impacted. japan, postponed the tokyo 0lympics postponed. illiterate paramedics will be held... will have to keep burning as the games are finally postponed... when it was announced i was absolutely gutted. at the start it felt like my world had just ended. but once i had time to make a new plan, full steam ahead, that's where i want to be in one year's time. how difficult has been maintain any type of training during lockdown? kind of the night before lockdown was put in place rightjim
6:42 pm
coach came with the dumb bells on our doorsteps and over lockdown we managed to kind of build our own home gym in the garage. so in the back bedroom for a lot of the time. 0n rollers we already struggled to put on events, we are ready struggled to get sponsors and crowds, taking a whole year away from that kind of circuit i think we might struggle to recover from that. going into tokyo next year, if they say to you it's going ahead but they will be no supporters, they will be no crowds, no spectators cheering you on, how would you manage with that? used to it. we compete every weekend in front of like your dad and his dog. there's no one there. if it was definitely safe and itjust meant no crowds then i would definitely compete. but ultimately another part of me would think well, if it's not safe to let thousands of people come and watch, is it safe for thousands of athletes
6:43 pm
to be together in a village or in a competition ground? probably not. then i would have to ask question as to whether we should be competing at all. ultimately, i am a person at risk. i didn't get a letter or anything but i got a disability. and that does mean that unfortunately, i am going to catch things quite quicker. you have to be more careful, cautious and hopefully that doesn't mean throwing away my dreams. but we just have to wait and see what happens. you obviously have a drive and determination to go. do you think other parent athletes might struggle with that decision? when we are out there training we are pushing our bodies to absolute limits and your whole immune system is then lowered because you are finding those limits. and then you are more at risk. so a lot of athletes have actually stepped back and said, "oh do i need to tone down my training
6:44 pm
and make sure that i'm safe? i think that it's going to be a massive decision for a lot of others to decide what's more important, my life or my sport? i think a lot of para—athletes will struggle deciding well talking of throwing away your dreams. some athletes dont get to make the decision if they compete or not. as is the case for wheelchair basketball player george bates, who after years of training and competing with the british team has had his impairment reclassified by the ipc, ruling him out of next year's games. so it's just a so it'sjust a horrible pain in your career. you give up your life to do this. you sacrifice pretty much everything, training all the time to be told that you are disability is the wrong type. it's not like an injury where it happens and you accept it as part ofjob. just injury where it happens and you accept it as part of job. just isn't bad. and it's such a strength of feeling from you. you said that you would consider how dealing your leg amputated just so that you could go and compete. yeah, it was an option from when i was younger with my condition kind of a lot of people
6:45 pm
have that done. i can make the condition worse if you amputate. it could make it worse. so it's an option that's there are never going to truly know if i kind of want to go through with it until i've exhausted all avenues of appeals and things like that. it's a pretty difficult decision to make. it could also take years to go through that process by getting that done. at which point my career could be on the way down. yeah, your opportunity to compete in the tokyo 0lympics would have been gone. as far as the ipc are concerned, they are arguing that it worth all federations to try and comply with the code. they felt that the international wheelchair basketball federation have not listening and implementing those guidelines that they put in place. i guess the ipc will say they are trying to protect the eligibility of all athletes potentially who would wa nt to all athletes potentially who would want to compete in the sport. the m bf should have implemented the rule changes at the ipc by january 2018. so why have they waited to a year of
