the cricket season is under way. we've already had the first round of matches in the county championship. it's going to be a very busy summer, with the delayed hundred taking its place in the calendar as well. the ecb is aiming to attract a wider, younger and more diverse audience, and that is going to see a few changes to the language used around the game. including replacing the word wickets with outs. patrick gearey reports. for some, those words makes a perfect sense. for others, they might as well be mush. it's the language of cricket's part of its charm, or part of its problem? this summer, the hundred is promising to shake up the sport in england. they are considering upper updating the

for now, goodbye. hello, and if you're spending a bit more time than normal outdoors at the moment, i'm sure a dry weather outlook will be welcome but perhaps not so if you're trying to grow anything in your garden. rain has been in short supply lately. it stays largely if not completely dry through the next few days. rather cool as well, and another hit of bad news for gardeners, frost will continue to feature in the forecast. now, i show you the satellite picture to point out that all of the main rain—bearing weather systems are well away from our shores. high pressure is offending them off and keeping us largely dry but not completely dry. we have seen some showers that managed to pop up during today and we'll see some more of those during tomorrow but for the time being, the showers are fading. so, many spots overnight will be dry with long, clear spells. a bit of patchy cloud and some mist
6:58 pm
and fog patches developing as well. temperatures for many spots not quite as low as they were last night but —6 looks quite likely in the coldest parts of north east scotland. so, into tomorrow, a cold start, one or two mist and fog patches around, but for the majority, it's a fine looking day with patchy cloud and sunny spells. but again like today, we will see just one or two showers popping up. now on first glance, the winds don't look like much of a feature. they will be very light in most places but close to the east coast, the winds you'll notice will be coming straight off the chilly waters of the north sea. so, temperatures across the east coast of scotland and england really will struggle, just 7, 8 or 9 celsius. and quite a noticeable breeze actually for coasts of norfolk, suffolk, essex and kent — so feeling really chilly here. but come further west, a bit of shelter, it will be a little bit warmer — i2 celsius for glasgow, 13 in cardiff and in plymouth. now through wednesday night into thursday, high pressure will remain in charge. frost looks set to be a feature once
6:59 pm
again into thursday morning, and the orientation of this high means that eastern areas will continue to see a feed of cold airfrom the north sea. it also looks like we'll see this little line of showers skipping in from the north sea affecting parts of eastern and south—eastern england but many places again through thursday, dry with some spells of sunshine. highest temperatures out west, parts of northern ireland and western scotland could be looking at values of 1a or 15 celsius. stays dry for most for the end of the week and temperatures will begin to creep upwards as well, just some rain in the far north—west.
