most a carbon copy of her fairest. good work from fran kirby and her 50th cap, set to tune—up to score again with white and bright adding two more before the break. england made four changes at the start of the second half, but there was no change of pace. beth continuing her good farm with this individual effort for england's fed. before neck to perhaps recommend taking herself up and going it alone to make a very special night with her on the sixth appearance. the goals kept coming with rachel daly eventually wrapping up proceedings and a 10— zero into make four winds from four and a very happy birthday for the manager. elsewhere in group d, northern ireland came within seconds of a famous win after going behind in the first half, they had back twice after the break with danny van scoring a stunning free kick to get them the lead but can cling onto it though and conceded an injury time to settle for a drive. many of northern ireland's squad are semi professional and des plaines

could go along semi professional and des plaines could go a long way in their bed to qualify for the world cup. meanwhile, whales claim to comfortable 4— zero victory at home in estonia to cardiff in front of a record crowd. the goals came from him who got a brilliant pass. whales now have ten planes in four games. arsenal are through to the last eight of the league cup they beat leeds 2—nil at the emirates stadium. calum chambers scored the first, then a mistake in the leeds defence allowed a man on loan from leeds — eddie nketiah — to get arsenal's second. and chelsea are through to the quarter finals after beating southampton on penalties at stamford bridge. reece james scored the decisive spot—kick for the blues. elsewhere sunderland beat qpr — also on penalties the football world has been reacting to the sad news that the former rangers and scotland manager walter smith has died at the age of 73. smith won 21 trophies over two spells at ibrox.

this was his last title win in 2011. his death comes in the same year rangers won their first top—flight title since his final season. smith was also the scotland manager for two years and spent four years at everton. tearful rangers manager steven gerrard said smith's dna ran right through the club. he loved the club. he was honest and genuine. and he has made me a better person. i've got nothing but good words to say. it is going to be emotional in the coming days and weeks. but the best tribute we as a team can do is to be united and get the fans behind us and try and win the game tomorrow and that will be the best tribute we can give him and his family. tributes to walter smith who has died at the age of 73. to tennis— emma raducanu has made it

safety through to the second round of the transylvania 0pen. she had to come from behind after losing the first set to slovenia's world number 124 polona hertzog, but raducanu found her groove winning the second set 7—5 and by the third she looked far more like the player who stunned everyone by winning the us open last month, winning it six games to one. remarkably it was raducanu's first win on the wta tour! south africa have their first win in cricket's world cup t20 tournament, but they beat west indies without their opener quinton de kock. the wicket—keeper batsmen opted out of the match in dubai after cricket south africa had sent out a directive insisting that all their players must take a knee before matches. patrick gearey reports. the idea was that this be a moment of unity. the first time the whole south african team took a knee but one man was missing.

endicott redrew from the scale after record south africa told the game the gesture was compulsory saying it was... his decision they say it would be noted. it was soon noticed. his replacement couldn't cling on to lando simmons west indies main threat was the other man evan lewis, he smashed 50, might�*ve smashed more but boo—boo but didn't panic. the skipper trusted that they wouldn't all go for six. some might end up there. in lou of louis, west indies had very little. their total of 143 was never likely to be enough. especially ones adam markram had his eye end. thanks to his muscular 50 the actual match was by some way the simplest part of south africa's day. in so far as me personally

in the comment to be honest probably one of my toughest days i've had to deal with as a captain. i guess if there is a disagreement in terms of beliefs, and terms of view that's why we have conversations. i can't force anyone to see things the way that i do. neither can they force me. those conversations will now be had. reports will be written reasons will be given. they will decide exactly how much weight they place on the knee. in today's second match pakistan made it two wins out of two. they restricted new zealand to 134 for eight.. haris rawf took four wickets. pakistan recovered well from 87 for five in the fifteenth over to reach their target with five wickest and eight balls to spare.. and that's all the sport for now.

hello there, it is going to stay very mild over the next few days. but there is more rain in the forecast and the rain is moving southwards at the moment. so, the winter weather in the next few days is more likely to be in the southern uplands of scotland, cumbria in northwest england and by thursday for western parts of wales and some flooding is likely as well. the main focus of the rain is on the weather friend the main focus of the rain is on the weather front there and to have it, we are drawing up the winds over from the tropics over the azores and into the uk, which is why it is so unusually mild. in northern ireland on tuesday, temperatures reach 17 celsius ahead of the rain. it is normally around 11 or 12 celsius at best at this time of the year. these are the temperatures we're starting with on wednesday morning. a very mild 15 or 16 celsius. but this is where the rain is, and it's not going to shift position through much of the day. we've got the rain threatening to come back in the eastern parts of northern ireland up towards the central belt of scotland. most of the rain in southern

scotland, northwest england, especially cumbria and into northwest wales. north of that rain band, some sunshine, a few sharp showers, south of the rain band like tuesday. a lot of cloud around, bill sunshine from time to time, those temperatures will be even higher around 18 celsius. but that rain is going to be continuing throughout the day across southern scotland, northwest england. by the end of the day, 90mm possible in the southern uplands, may be double that of the high ground and cumbria, which is why we are going to see some impact, and that wet weather continues overnight as well. that stream of warm wet weather coming in on that weather front the position of that rain will fluctuate a little bit. we may start to see a few changes on thursday. scotland and northern ireland brightening up a bit more with some showers and they could be quite heavy and still got that ran across parts of southern scotland, northern england wales, in the southwest of england. but ahead of the midlands, east anglia, the midwest, it still trite and bright in those temperatures hitting 17 celisus.

but the wetter weather continues in this weather front are still in the seen, perhaps forming an area of low pressure. now, i think the details may change as we head into friday, getting rather more messy and looks on the whole like it's going to be a day of sunshine or longer spells of rain. it may start to brighten up across more of the country, western areas during the dryer. at some of that rain pushing into the eastern side of england this time and temperatures won't be quite as high. they will begin to fall away from the northwest.
