these temperatures about sunshine. these temperatures about where they should be for this time of year. cloud will bring some showers, particularly into western counties of northern ireland. the odd shower across scotland but quite a lot of sunshine and very pleasant at 19 degrees in aberdeen. the weekend, high pressure is close by so a lot of dry weather, but you can see this front pushing in from the west. this will provide some outbreaks of rain, but without running into the high pressure it will be quite a weak affair, so showery rain across parts of northern ireland, western scotland, could be the odd sharp show if eastern scotland, much of england and wales it looks likely dry with sunshine. 18 to maybe 23 degrees. just not quite as warm as it has been. the sunday, the remnants of the front will sit across our shores, but you can't make them out on the chart, just a bit more cloud, may be the odd shower, and temperatures of 18 to 23. not as warm as it has been, but still pleasant in the sunshine.

on clay, to make the 3rd round of the french open for the first time. hello, there, and welcome to sportsday. as test cricket debuts go, you really would struggle to top devon conway's at lord's. the home side began the fightback, but there's plenty of work to do going into the third day. we can join a reporter who is at lord's for us, where playe hasjust finished for the day. good to see you. devon conway, he couldn't have wished for a better start to cricket. yes, what a remarkable _ for a better start to cricket. yes, what a remarkable start - for a better start to cricket. yes, what a remarkable start the - for a better start to cricket. is: what a remarkable start the devon conway. i'm seeing the players

6:36 pm
believe we must be prepared to have these games without any spectators. still, there are loud voices saying we are not doing enough, and of course the ioc can still say maybe we shouldn't be holding the games. in that case, even though we have very little time, we would put all our efforts into finding areas where we could improve, and make our best efforts to put on the games. it is my conviction that when people understand there are no firm measures we could be taking to prevent the spread of coronavirus, attitudes will change to say it is ok to have the games. more on the olympics still to come on sportsday. we'll have a behind the scenes look at how adam peaty�*s preparations have been going it's all about being positive and getting the best possible performance, and hopefully bringing back at goal. abs,
