back at half past the hour with more from the papers. 50 alive but i'm gonna have a little rushed away while you watch a bit of sport and weather. i'll be back with a full summary of the news at the top of the hour. do you join me then. good evening. i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes here with your latest sports news. and we're starting with cricket because it's been a frustrating second day for england in the deciding test against west indies. after a slow start, england's bowlers quickly picked—off the windies batters, ben stokes with the breakthrough taking captain brathwaite for 17. and after chris woakes took a confidence boosting quick three wickets, england had restricted them on 128—7 at tea. but the west indies stubborn tail added another 105 runs — wicketkeeperjosh da silva with an unbeaten half century before the close of play. 50 west indies will resume

on 232—8 on day three, leading by 28 runs with england hoping to knock—off the final couple of wickets as they try to win their first series win in the caribbean for 18 years. the saudi arabian grand prix will go ahead as planned on sunday despite a missile attack on an oil facility near the track injeddah. second practice was delayed by 15 minutes after the attack as team bosses and drivers attended a meeting with fi officials. it's reported that yemen's houti rebels claimed responsibility for the attack. as for the racing, ferrari's charles leclerc topped both practice sessions, max verstappen was second for red bull. aston martin's sebastian vettel will miss sunday's race though — he's failed to recover from covid in time. vettel has already missed the season—opener in bahrain last weekend, he'll be replaced again by the reserve driver, nico hulkenberg in jeddah. saudi arabia's human rights record is also under the spotlight again

and seven time world champion — lewis hamilton says it should be "easy" for the country to make changes adding that it's "mind—blowing" to hear some of the stories about abuses in there. northern ireland have been in friendly football action tonight, scoring 2 late goals to win 3—1 away in luxembourg. the score was level ati all, before captain steven davis and gavin white secured the victory. northern ireland host hungary in another friendly on tuesday. england play switzerland in a friendly at wembley tomorrow. and with their world cup qualification already sorted, questions are being asked again about the human rights record of the host nation - qatar. and while england manager gareth southgate says he doesn't see the benefit of boycotting this year's tournament, he did confirm his team are having their own conversations in the camp about what they might be able to do to bring about change. there is power with us being able to do things together or even with some of the other european nations or whatever that might look like.

there are conversations going on in the background, so it would be wrong to say that we are pushing things to one side. frankly, we're talking more about it than many other things, so i agree. i think the players have got a good voice and we should allow them to come up with their ideas, and if we can support that and help shape that, then we should also do that. onto the night's rugby union action and ospreys were soundly beaten as—is by lions in their united rugby championship visit tojohnnesburg. morne van den berg scored 2 of his side's 7 tries as they picked up a bonus point. elsewhere, munster beat benetton 51—22. the women's six nations kicks off tomorrow with scotland welcoming defending champions england, its live on bbc 2 at midday. later—on ireland take on wales, which is on the red button. england have thrashed the scots in their last three six nations meetings, but scotland are on a high

warrington beat martinez in a close points decision at the same venue in 2017, but is coming off a loss and a draw in his two previous fights. when i walked out of the ring against him five years ago, i didn't think i'd be fighting for my own world title. in the same ring. it's the same ring in the same venue in the same arena. but he's called for this fight, he wants this fight. obviously, that ghost of his has not gone away. so it's tough for him to put it right. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. there's going to be some major changes next week, and things could look a little different on sunday across some parts of the country. but on saturday, we've got more of the same. it's going to be a cold start, but there will be plenty of warm sunshine. temperatures early on saturday could be close to freezing in some rural areas.

it'll warm up quickly. any mist and fog in northern ireland will lift. it will stay quite cloudy in the far north of scotland. otherwise lots of sunshine, just a bit of fairweather cloud once again and the winds will be light. and temperatures on saturday similar to what we had on friday, could again make 19—20 degrees in some northern parts of england. a reminder that on saturday night, the clocks spring forward by one hour as we move into british summer time. so, an hour less in bed. for many people waking up across the eastern side of england, it could be a cloudy start, though, on sunday. we've still got high pressure around, but there's more cloud coming in off the north sea. it could be quite low cloud, misty as well. it means it's going to be a mild start to sunday across eastern parts of the uk. a little bit chillier further west. there's the cloud that we've got across eastern areas. it will tend to filter its way through the midlands towards east wales. some of that cloud could linger all day through parts of the midlands, around some eastern coasts of england, but for many, i think

the sunshine will come through. it may not be quite as warm as it has been of late. more sunshine, though, further north for scotland and northern ireland, so again here, temperatures are likely to reach 17 degrees or so. major changes, though, heading into next week. high pressure that's brought the fine, warm weather is no more. pressure's going to be dropping. and at the same time, we're going to find more cloud moving in as well. not everywhere, mind you. and many places are still going to be dry even though pressure is falling, but we could see some rain across these central areas. north and south of that, though, i think we are likely to find some sunshine. and the temperatures are still reasonable for this time of the year. 16 degrees in the sunshine, won't feel too bad at all. but it is a downward trend, really, through next week. not only will be see more cloud and an increasing chance of getting some rain, those temperatures are really going to be dropping away as well. so, rather than being warmer than average, it will get colder than average, especially later on next week as the wind changes to more of a northerly. that brings the colder air and across some northern parts

of the uk, it could even bring some snow.
