david wyeth and matthew rees were strangers on a street when rees told wyeth he could finish the london marathon, and made sure he did. olympic games, 2016, new zealand's nikki hamblin. american abbey d'agostino fell, and then devoted the rest of their race to helping each other. suddenly no longer opponents. it requires moments like these to prove that sport retains humanity. what happened in santander was a little thing, but in these days, let's be honest, it goes a very long way. joe wilson, bbc news. time for a look at the weather — here's chris fawkes. i think it is fair to say we will be feeling the distant effects of a hurricane, but not as you might imagine. and the hurricane in question is a long way from our shores, here it is, hurricane teddy. you probably haven't heard much because it has not been causing too many problems but it will bring rain

to east canada, what it will always do is push warm up up the western side of the atlantic, that changes the shape of the jet stream. we are on the downstream side of that, and what that does is sends this cold plume of winds across the country, hammering the temperatures, so you will no its the the big change, the change to colder weather partly due toa change to colder weather partly due to a hurricane a long way away. overnight tonight we have wet weather mo into the scott. we have mist and fog patches so it will turn murky here for a tame. those mist and fog patches taking a while to lift and thin. some sunshine coming out. for northern ireland and scotland, we have rain that will move in, particularly for the afternoon and the rain with winds, so afternoon and the rain with winds, so becoming gusty here, gusty too for the far north of england, leaving the highest temperatures across east anglia where we should see highs of 26. that is the last of the warm day, by wednesday the cold

front bringing the rain will by a ci’oss front bringing the rain will by a cross england and wales, the rain turning heavy in eastern areas and turning heavy in eastern areas and turning windy late in the day in eastern and southern coast, northern ireland and scotland the best of the sunshine, but feeling colder and the colder conditions will spread to all of the uk through the rest of the week. that is hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jane dougall. orient could be out of the cup because of covid. leyton‘s match against against tottenham may not go ahead because a number of first team players have tested positive. goals galore in the premier league, with teams on course for a record round. we'll look into the goal fest over the weekend. and, the first international ball bowled in the women's game for six

months as england's t20 match gets under way against the west indies. also coming up in the programme... calculate this — the scientist works out how to win on one of the toughest courses in the world. we hearfrom us open champion bryson dechambeau. were changing the way people think about the game. whether you can do it as about the game. whether you can do itasa about the game. whether you can do it as a whole different situation. the whole next generation is a different god. and hopefully they will go i can do that too. —— the next generation is a different golf. —— the next generation is a different golf. hello and welcome to the programme. we start tonight with some developing covid—related news. leyton orient‘s league cup match against tottenham tomorrow night is in doubt after a number of their players tested positive for coronavirus. the club's training facilities and stadium have been closed and the first team squad members

are self isolating. the english football league say they are aware and are awaiting the outcome of discussions between public health england and the club. our sports reporter laura scott joins us now. laura, this is clearly more than just one or two players if they've had to close the ground. what will happen if leyton orient can't field a team? our understanding is that if they cannot field a team, the game would be awarded to tottenham and they would progress to the fourth round of the efl cup, that is because there simply is not a enough time to rearrange this fixture. if this were to happen with a normal league game our understanding is they would try to rearrange it but in this circumstance, we are told that it would go to tottenham and it is interesting this one because clearly we haven't heard the number of players who have tested positive but we don't normally hear when we hear positive cases of match is being

affected, so it does suggest that there is a number of players, a large number of them, that would mean they wouldn't be able to field this team. how much of a concern is this for lower league clubs who don't have large squad sizes? absolutely. it is an issue we have seen absolutely. it is an issue we have seenin absolutely. it is an issue we have seen in sports. we saw this in european football and european rugby come affecting sides when coronavirus affects them to a significant level where they can't fulfil their fixtures. clearly in the lordly clubs come around 25, 13 players and it 20 youth players, this is a significant level, then this is a significant level, then this will have a really big impact. —— the lordly club. in the ground being shut as well. this is an issue that has involved the club come the efl, public health england and the council as well so significant when here in other clubs will be looking to see what happens here but also there is a financial impact of this because it is notjust leyton orient

that are affected we are the understand plymouth and argos town have had to find some test of their players and staff to check their situation and that is a course they have to stomach, with leyton orient, the initial tests were actually funded by tottenham hotspur ahead of the fixture tomorrow. but leyton orient are having to find additional and extensive test of their playing staff and backroom staff to check just how widespread coronaviruses of the club. we were starting to see crowds coming back to some fixtures, however, with the latest government announcements, do you think we'll see a return to no crowds again? well, that is a very real prospect. it would be a significant blow to support if the government do put the bra kes support if the government do put the brakes on that plan roll—out of fans to support from the 1st of october, but we are hearing that because of the mood coming out of the

government and the winning of restrictions for the next six months or $0 restrictions for the next six months orso and restrictions for the next six months or so and the rising cases, sports are bracing themselves for a delay of that 1st of october target. and also we understand that one thing being consider whether it is necessary to continue the pilot programme if the return of fans is not going to be in the nearfuture, so not going to be in the nearfuture, so clearly a major few days for sport because the financial ramifications if the return of fans is not going to be in the next few months will be very real and we fired up several governing bodies making significant redundancies and the efl and others are winning the cups potentially going under if fans cannot return to meaningful numbers. and that will be a big news if that 1st of october target is not met. —— we have heard of several governing bodies. thank you. that news comes on the day that manchester city announced midfielder ilkay gundogan has tested positive for covid and will not play in their premier league match at molineux against wolves tonight, which kicks off in just over an hour's time.

already under way at villa park is aston villa against sheffield united, the score is 0—0. but will we see the high scores of the weekend? it was 5—2 in tottenham's match against southampton, 11—2 in leicester v burnley. 5—2 for everton against west brom, and fulham lost 11—3 to leeds. and all those goals could make this an historic round of premier league fixtures, joe lynskey can tell us why. yes, extraordinary set of results. across saturday and sunday we've seen some extraordinary matches, that 11—3 win for leeds means they've been involved in that scoreline two weekends in a row, we'll have a look at that shortly. now there were four matches this weekend that had more than five goals including leicester's 11—2 win over burnley which has them among the early pace setters on two wins out of two. four different goal—scorers for leicester in this one, even

without jamie vardy getting one. afterwards brendan rodgers says he wants the team to get even better as the season progresses. but the six goals in that match put this round of premier league fixtures on course potentially for a new record — before tonight's two games there were 39 goals scored so far this weekend, that's an average of nearly five per game, which is the same ratio for the highest scoring premier league weekend of all—time — 55 goals were scored on the final round of the 1992/93 season — that included a 6—2 win for liverpool. there were 22 teams in the premier league that year though— since the division's been trimmed the goals record was set in 2011,

you might remember that famous newcastle equaliser from cheik tiote against arsenal — that 4—1; draw was part of a weekend that had 43 goals in ten games. so tonight four goals in two more matches are needed to reach that figure — and two very attacking sides in wolves and manchester city may help with that — if these two games produce 11 goals between them, that would break that 27—year—old goals per game ratio. wolves beat city twice last season, but this is pep guardiola's side's first match of the new season, and they want a winning start. it isa it is a joy to work with them. good expectations to do good football and the results that they deserve. we know how tough it is. we know the quality and the talent of the man

city squad. it is amazing the quality of their players the manager, pap, it will be hard and difficult. we expect a very tough match. and we want to compete against a fantastic team. well earlier i mentioned leeds being involved in a 11—3 scoreline in consecutive weeks. they were on the wrong side of it in that thrilling season opener at anfield last weekend, but beat fellow newly—promoted side fulham by the same scoreline on saturday. it means there've been 1a goals in leeds' first two matches, it's the first time that's happened to a side in the top flight in 58 years — wolves opened their 1962 campaign with 8—1 and a—1wins — and the 8—1win was against tonight's opponents manchester city, think they'd settle for that scoreline again tonight. i think they would settle for the score line tonight. thank you very

much. still scoreless between aston villa and sheffield united. and the wolves host man city later. hashtag united were set up as a youtube team in 2016, and joined the non—league system in 2018. their playing live tonight on bbc in the fa cup. there will be a small crowd at tonight's fa cup match between essex—based hashtag united and cambridshire's soham town rangers. joining us is hashtag united ceo & founder spencer owen. thank you so very much for speaking to us. what an incredible story. why did you want to start a youtube team? it is an unbelievable story that i set the compass myself is

short while ago. you can listen to live commentary. our cricket reporter henry moeran joins us from inside the bio—bubble. henry, how important is it that women's international cricket gets back up and running? spent 202 days since england last played in international match and a 7 cents any international match played between icc member nations. that that memorable occasion in the mcg 186,000 that that memorable occasion in the mcg186,000 supporters watch the world cup final between australia and india. since then we have seen taurus cancelled, plans cancelled again and then we have international women's cricket. a huge moment for the game as with the men's game, on the game as with the men's game, on the west and east toward early in the west and east toward early in the summer and acted as a blueprint for how other countries and tournaments could move forward with the resumption of the men's game. and they hope will be with the eyes of the world watching this series that the women's game can follow suit. these 5t20 internationals will be closely watched around the world
