it felt like a match—winning performance. well, not yet. up the stairs, lunch, prepare to bowl. home side batting again, 286 behind, with plenty to prove. there's more to sri lanka than ducks. four noughts on the scorecard in the first innings, a strong start this time. and england had a problem, for the first time — how to dismiss those who stubbornly remain. well, kusal perera could have hit this anywhere. he found a fielder. sometimes, the luck�*s with you. sometimes. one caught, now one dropped. thirimanne to sibley... and down. and the captain, well, it's still a lovely view — from up there. sri lanka's fightback continued, as the skies darkened. england needed something before the close. here it comes. 0h, beauty!

just a faint touch. jack leach�*s delivery found the batsman�*s glove. kusal mendis out. sri lanka will resume still 130 behind. it's a contest. well, it's a test match. joe wilson, bbc news. so a much tougher day for england but all rounder sam curran still thinks his side have a big advantage a very nice position for us to be in, the boys batted nicely especiallyjoe with his 200, still uncapped played very well sri lanka played very well and had a great partnership but gaining that wicked at the end gives us that extra bit of momentum but a great position and tomorrow is going to be another day of hard work because sri lanka are fighting really hard. down in brisbane australia are on top in their fourth and deciding test against india. india will resume on day three

on 62 for 2 in theirfirst innings — still 307 runs behind. they lost opener rohit sharma for 44 just before the close. the series is level at one test all. britian�*s heather watson is among almost 50 tennis players who'll be confined to their hotel rooms for the next two weeks — ahead of the australian open. it's after positive coronavirus tests on two charter flights bringing players and staff into melbourne for the tournament. 0ur reporter austin halewood has more details, and austin — this now means those players aren't even allowed out to train, and they're not happy. that's right — two weeks of isolation in their rooms. it means they might only have one day of training on a court in australia, before the warm—up competitions begin, so you have to think these players are going to be at a real disadvantage come the tournament itself. now two—time champion victoria azarenka is one of the players in isolation, as is former us open

champion sloane stephens and britain's heather watson. now, watson tweeted a bit more about the situation... she said she was on a flight from the uae where one person tested positive, so everyone has to quarantine. the same happened on a flight from los angeles... and she adds, rather ominously, so far..." now all of the players knew they would have to quarantine for 14 days when they arrived in australia, but in that they were also allowed five hours a day out of their hotel, to train at a court. now british number one johanna konta wasn't on one of the affected flights. but those five hours on a court aren't enough for her. she's been doing plenty of hotel room workouts, something that might look familiar to lots of you out there trying to keep fit in lockdown.

konta also tweeted that she's feeling incredibly grateful to all of those who have worked hard to put the tournament on safely. here's to a great aussie summer of tennis!" so great news for tennis fans, but not everyone is keen on the tournament going ahead... it's important to put this into contex. this into context. australia have had very strict rules on people coming into the country, throughout the pandemic, as a way of curbing the spread of the virus. now thousands of australians are stranded, trying to get home because of this... but with 1,200 people given special dispensation to come over for the tournament, this latest situation has added another layer of discontent, to those already unhappy

about the situation kat. sam allardyce has his first win as west brom manager — they're still in the relegation zone, but the win over local rivals wolves will give them hope. despite calls for players to pay closer attention to covid protocols though, celebrations continued as usual. drew savage reports: four weeks, and two days, after sam allardyce took charge, a premier league win. and in the black country derby... maybe hard for west brom, to avoid the urge to celebrate normally. in the position we are and the length it has been since we won a game it is very difficult to control your emotions, even i wanted to kiss him and that is saying something. i don't think it was totally out of control but you can obviously understand that happened. understand why that happened.

albion went ahead, thanks to a gift from wolves�* willy boly. mateus pereira stepping up to the penalty spot... advantage west brom... the first goal celebration, suitably muted.wolves are also on a poor run... missing injured striker raul himenezzz... raul himenez... his stand—in, 35 million pound teenager fabio silva, happy to take the plaudits for the equaliser. and i—i became 2—i just before half time — willy boly�*s team—mates breaching protocols to congratulate him. leaving allardyce's side needing to bounce back themselves... two flicked headers and they were level. semi ajayi's third goal in five games, provoking another spontaneous lack of social distancing. another penalty conceded by wolves gave their local rivals the chance to come out on top... pereira calmly put this one away too... a big win but west brom still widely tipped to go down — although they may not be listening.

fulham made it hard work for chelsea, despite being a man down — antonee robinson was sent offjust before half time for a dangerous tackle. chelsea had several chances, but it was mason mount who finally broke fulham's resistence in the final minutes. the win takes frank lampard's side up to seventh, while fulham are third from bottom and still in the relegation zone. brighton are now two places above the relegation zone after winning i nil at leeds....their goal came after a quarter of an hour — the result of some neat passing, with neal maupee finishing off the move. leeds made a better fist of it in the second half but failed to find a way through... west ham moved into the top eight of the table after a 1—0 win over burnley. michailantonio, returning to the premier league after injury put the hosts ahead early on. and despite an attempt at a distanced goal celebration, some hugs and high fives snuck in there... confirmation of those results. leicester take on southampton in the late kick—off, that gets under way shortly. celtic dropped more points today and are still 20 points behind their old firm rivals rangers at the top of the

scottish premiership. neil lennon's side drew nil nil at home to livingston. rangers are at motherwell tomorrow. hamilton drew with dundee united, elsewhere there were wins for hibernian and stjohnstone ross county beat an out of sorts aberdeen 4—1. the victory takes county off the bottom of the premiership table and was their first home league win since the opening day of the season. 0li shaw scored twice for county — the first of them in less than a minute. aberdeen drop down to fourth. arsenal midfielder mesut 0zil is close to completing a move to turkish club fenerbahce. 0zil still has half a season left on his arsenal contract but both parties are in advanced talks to terminate it. 0zil has not played for arsenal since last march.. manchester city women have added a third world cup winner to their squad — they've signed abby dahlkemper until 2023. she joins her her usa team—mates sam mewis and rose lavelle, who both signed for the women's super league club in august last year.

showers at this stage, some snow mixing in over the highest ground. but it's not going to be a desperately cold night. some eastern spots will get down to freezing or a touch below. so there could be one or two icy stretches, but not a particularly cold start to sunday morning compared with some we've seen recently. and it will be a dry day for many with some spells of sunshine. there will be some showers around as well, though, one or two through northwest england, parts of northwest wales, a few more for northern ireland and for scotland. some of these showers will be wintry over the highest ground in scotland, say above 500 metres. and then as we head into the afternoon, some more persistent rain and mountain snow will push in across some parts of scotland. temperatures pretty much exactly where we'd expect them to be at this time of year six to nine degrees. it won't feel too bad in the sunshine, although it will be quite windy, especially across northern areas. and then through sunday night, you can see this line of wet weather with some mountain snow, which just continues to wobble around across some parts of southern and central scotland as we get on into monday. elsewhere, a lot of dry

weather to start the day, but cloud amounts will increase from the west and we're likely to see some rain into southwest england and wales by the end of the afternoon. those temperatures five to nine degrees, maybe ten across the far south west of england. now, as we head deeper into the coming week, low pressure will take charge of our weather, various frontal systems spiraling around these areas of low pressure. and that means for some there's going to be quite a lot of rain. this is the amounts of rainfall we're expecting to accumulate over the next five days. and where you see the green and even white colors here across some western areas, that's where we'll have some pretty high rainfall accumulations, maybe in excess of 100 millimetres of rain for some snow. of rain for some. with the ground already very wet, that could bring the risk of flooding. it is going to turn mild, particularly down towards the south for a time. signs are it could cool off a little by the end of the week.
