of warm air to we are importing lots of warm air to a milder night for sleeping. quite a comfortable one for some tonight. this rain is tied in with low pressure, this will be with us for the next 2 or 3 days, the low pressure. it will throw in bands of showers or longer spells of rain so initially after a fine start the showers developed tomorrow with longer spells of rain coming into northern ireland, wales and the south—west. we lose the one, still 25 or 26 with the sunshine and the south—west. we lose the one, still 25 or 26 with the sunshine in eastern parts. that band of cloud through the evening and overnight tomorrow sweeps eastwards. on saturday, we get off to a reasonable start before the showers again start to develop and you can see closer to that low pressure, the centre across northern ireland, the more showers. these could be heavy with some thunder and gusty wind because it is getting windier also around that centre of low pressure so filling pressure for many as we go through the weekend. that low pressure means

we will have showers around but it will not be a wash—out with some usable weather around but the same picture for sunday and monday, with most of the showers in western areas. if you are heading to glastonbury, pressure and breezy. back to you. thanks, helen. and that's bbc news at six on thursday 23rd june. the news continues here on bbc one as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. goodnight. hello, thanks forjoining us on sportsday this evening. the wickets all count for england, however you take them. we'll be live at headingley on day one of the third and final test between england and new zealand. jack draper comes out on top in the battle of the brits at eastbourne, but did any of the others have much to celebrate in the last eight? and we'll look ahead

to northern ireland's only warm—up match ahead of next month's women's euros. and that's not all. we'll bring you the story ofjeremy so on, hoping to strike it big. and we will have the latest from the women's dj championship —— pga championship. thanks for your company. let's head to leeds first, shall we, and the third and final test between england and new zealand. on the field, it's been a pretty even day so far as england chase a 3—nil series whitewash. it's an important day for headingley and yorkshire county cricket club as a whole — being the first international match

to be held there since a ban on staging england games was lifted following the racism scandal brought to light by azeem rafiq. our sports correspondent, joe wilson, is at headingley. joe, we'll get onto the action soon, butjust joe, we'll get onto the action soon, but just tell us about the context that this match is being held under. i think that is significant because there was a time when yorkshire was stripped of the right to host international masses in the wake of azeem rafiq's testimony. you can see signs of changes today. the ethos of the club, who it represents, what it stands for. patel was rock brought in to change the club, including rapid changes. the process must still unfold and i think some of those steps may yet be quite

uncomfortable. what he made clear today was in his view, absolutely, the steps he's taken are crucial in regaining the right. if touch mass didn't come back —— test _ if touch mass didn't come back —— test match, — if touch mass didn't come back —— test match, then we were going to lo. test match, then we were going to go we _ test match, then we were going to go. we literally were. what are we going _ go. we literally were. what are we going to _ go. we literally were. what are we going to do — go. we literally were. what are we going to do with all the staff, all the players, and then try and come back in_ the players, and then try and come back in a _ the players, and then try and come back in a couple of years? joe, that's lord patel there. as for the action on the field... but it's been a day where there's been real ebb and flow. where are we at on day one? one of the strangest of dismissals. we'll get to that in about two minutes. i think the pace of the play has been a bit slow, but i'm —— i suppose it had to be. we saw

england once again on the money right from the word go with stewart brought in particular taking the first wicket. —— stuart broad. one change to the england bowling attack. jamie overton came into the team. jamie is known to be a fastball are. team. jamie is known to be a fastballare. i team. jamie is known to be a fastball are. i think he had a pretty good w. he did have the wicket to show for his efforts today, devon conway. conway was just getting going. that was an important dismissal in the context of the match and it was fairly routine. what's next is anything but routine. he had faced 99 balls. hit it

straight toward the boulder —— boulder. nobody was sure. it turns out that paul ricocheted off the back of the non—striker, darrell mitchell, which is why it flew so far and into the hands of the england midfielder. it is in short out. remember it's been mitchell who has been so strong for new zealand throughout. they're showing it again. england may be thinking back to when they had a chance to review. he is once again holding the endings together. he is once again holding the endings touether. ~ , ., ., , he is once again holding the endings touether. ~ ., he is once again holding the endings touether. ~ ,., .,, ., , ., let's venture a bit further south now to the sussex coast and eastbourne, where it's been a mixed day for the brits.

match, draper became unplayable. he won 17 of the next 19 points to finish in style. and had through to a semifinalfor the first finish in style. and had through to a semifinal for the first time. there wasn't such good knees —— a news for cameron norrie. creasy�*s molly was causing habit, but wasn't working for the american —— causing havoc. creasy finished in at fashion once again at the net. it was the end of the road for harriet dart. it was always going to be a challenge czech dominating the first set. in the second, it was a similar story. a day of mixed emotions for the home
