next to the t20 cricket world cup, where ireland's hopes hang in the balance after they were beaten by sri lanka, who've qualified for the super 12's stage in abu dhabi. patrick geary reports. dusk in the desert and time to spring to life as ireland must. victory would take them to the world to proper, reach out and grab us, gareth delaney. second over, to more into balls from josh little, sri lanka 843. now came the sri lankan fight that led by... his side would prefer not to have to play in this event. not making it through would be unthinkable. aims to make it impossible. a total of 171 didn't quite do that, but removing' quickly got them closer. sri lanka know the value of sterling. without their

biggest hitter, ireland lost their way. they were bowled out for 100—1. sri lanka go through an island may need to beat the nubian if gradient is survive. and there's been medal success for great britain at the track cycling world championships in roubaix in france. the women won the bronze medal team sprint final, with lauren bate, sophie capewell, blaine ridge—davis and milly tanner all on their championship debut, finishing more than half a second clear of japan. and that's all your sport for now. there's more reaction to tonight's championship results, including fulham's 2—0 win over cardiff, on the bbc sport website. but from all of us here, goodnight. hello. thursday is going to feel chilly, especially when contrasted with the temperatures we had at the start of the week when we were getting daytime highs in the high

teens. and it will feel more cold because we will pick up a keen northerly wind. the cold air plunging in behind this weather front, sinking south. through thursday, daytime will open the floodgates of cold air. we'll start the day with some cloud and rain to the south, the weather front pulling away, making way for lots of sunshine come the afternoon — but there will be some showers to the northwest, and they will be wintry across the hills and mountains of scotland. the wind a notable feature, gales possible down the north sea coast. these are the temperatures that you'd see on the thermometer — but, factor in the wind, those temperatures along the north sea coast will feel more like 4—5 celsius. we continue with showers streaming into the north and west as we move overnight thursday and into friday. quite a chilly night, as well — in sheltered eastern spots, there could be a patchy frost with sitting in quite cold air, but the strength of the wind will protect many from actually seeing bits of frost.

through thursday daytime — sorry, friday daytime, though, the winds will start to ease back a little as a ridge of high pressure builds in from the atlantic. still some showers just managing to sneak into the top of that ridge, a bit of cloud under it, as well — perhaps not the faultless blue skies of thursday, but it should just feel a little bit milder because the wind won't be quite as cutting. but, for things to really become milder, we need to get to the weekend, and it's all about the change in wind direction. as we say goodbye to this ridge of high pressure, it pushes away to the east and we start to pick up a south—westerly. for saturday, ithink, actually, a lot of fine weather across the uk. there'll be some cloud closing in to the west, and we will see some rain for northern ireland by the end of the day. but the temperatures lifting up, we should hit the mid—teens, but it will feel so much warmer because we're moving back into a more atlantic airstream. sunday, greater chance of some showers just about anywhere across the uk — sheltered eastern areas favoured for the driest and brightest weather. temperatures possibly up

to 15—16 to the south.
