the invincibles chasing down 158 to win. in the final few balls, superchargers captain faf du plessis dropped what looked to be a simple catch from tom curran to allow the home side to win by three wickets. the busy summer of sport for british athletes continues. the european championships are under way in munich. over the next 11 days — medals will be won across nine different sports. and team gb already have a silver medal in the gymnastics. alice kinsella was on the podium. she picked up two gold medal medals at the recent commonwealth games in birmingham — italy's asia d'amato was the winner. it means a lot because since i've been growing up, i always dreamed of having an all—around medal and to be honest, i did not expect it today. why? because i was feeling quite tired after the commonwealth and today, i just know that when i wasn't really

happy with my performance but, yeah, as i did this, ifelt i might have a shot. olympic curling champion eve muirhead who led team gb to gold in beijing earlier this year — has announced her retirement from the sport, describing it as "the hardest decision of her life". jane lewis has been speaking to her this afternoon. here's your pride and joy, the gold medal. this, obviously, has to be my favourite one. and six months after the golden achievement, today marked another momentous moment for muirhead. i don't think anything made the decision easy and i had to make the right decision mainly for myself and i do think that this was the time and this was the time to hang up my curling shoes from the elite level and as you say, i've had such a stellar season it's always nice to go out on the top. it was the hardest decision i ever had to make because it's hard to say goodbye to the kind

of training aspect of going into the national curling academy every single day and travelling the world and living out of a suitcase and there is left on the side of curling, isn't there and that's what i want to explore. there's been so many eyes, two olympic medals, three road medals there's been so many eyes, two olympic medals, three world medals and ten european metals at senior level. i think but the favour highlight is so many fantastic to my career and standards and top of that podium at the olympic gold—medal was the highlight. they have got the gold. i think my emotions definitely showed that. years ago, winning the world championships was also one of my big highlights but, then again, winning four world junior titles as well. it is well in the list is go on and there it is well in the list is go on and there are times as well that i realise how lucky i am and ended up i realise how lucky i am and ended up competing in the games with my two

brothers. and the question everyone slips, what's next? i do not know what is next for me. i have done golfing tomorrow and arranged few golf games with friends next week which i have not been able to do in the past and i don't get to spend a lot of time with people usually and hopefully, the beefy opportunities coming my way and i'll be excited for the future but i'm also scared as well. i am scared cos we don't know what's around the corner, there's nothing else to be but a little bit scared, i think. but i think it is a good scared. i'm definitely going to enjoy the next few months here in scotland and, yeah, just to see what happens. it's nearly 30 years since the iconic boxing rematch between chris eubank and nigel benn. now, both their sons — conor benn and chris eubankjunior — have signed a deal for a fight in october. the fighters are very much aware of the history. it is a deeply personal affair. and that's what the public like. they like a fight, they like something

they can really get behind that's real and i have a responsibility to uphold the eubank name once again. warrington eased their superleague relegation fears with a 32—18 victory over toulouse. the french club are bottom of the table — but with half—time approaching. they led by 18 points to 12. the wolves snapped back though, and scored all the points of the second half with ben currie getting their fifth try in a vital win — but one that could help send toulouse down. there are four games to go. dundee united crashed out of europa conference league qualifying, thrashed 7—1 on aggregate by az alkmaar. united led one nilfrom the home leg but completely fell apart as the dutch side scored five in 23 minutes before half time. the loss is the joint heaviest european defeat by a scottish side. alkmaar are into the europa conference play—offs. and it's been confirmed by fifa this evening that the world cup will start a day earlier than planned, on sunday 20 november,

with hosts qatarfacing ecuador. normally, the home country play the first game in the world cup, and this tradition will now continue. the change won't the affect the release dates for players. and england and wales' first games are also still on their original date of the 21st november. and that's all the sport for now. hello. we've seen the heat intensify day by day so far this week, and for many of you, the heat is set to peak, even through friday or indeed saturday. most places on both days sitting under sunny skies yet again. the main risk areas, of course, of the highest of the temperatures, the greatest impacts for health and transport, covered by the met office amber extreme heat warning, still in place all the way through to sunday across a good part of england and east wales, where we start with the highest temperatures on friday morning. a little bit fresher on the countryside, particularly northern england, scotland and northern ireland. and, here, a very pleasant start, a few mist and fog

patches dotted around. for most of you, they will clear. and for the vast majority, again, it's going to be another day of blue skies from dawn till dusk. a few exceptions, though. eastern coasts of england, from lincolnshire northwards, we could see some mist and see fog patches just drift ashore — not many of them. certainly more for eastern coasts of scotland, and in the far north of scotland, our weather front�*s still there. not producing as much rain or drizzle and the better chance of some brightness, so maybe a little bit warmer compared with thursday. but elsewhere, away from these eastern coasts, where the mist and fog rolls its way in every now and again, it's going to be an even warmer day — temperatures 36 celsius potentially through parts of the midlands. and then into the evening, a warm evening in store. most will be under clear skies again, but mist and low cloud becomes more of an issue, eastern scotland and through the central belt, towards the glasgow area. it means temperatures won't drop as much here compared with what we see into friday morning. and a warm night elsewhere, particularly so west wales and parts of west cumbria, to the west of high ground. we'll see really temperatures hold up. could see temperatures above 20 degrees for some. and that sets us off to a very warm start to saturday, lots of sunshine again,

but again there's that risk of some mist and low cloud across the eastern coasts. bit more sunshine developing across the north of scotland. temperatures across england and wales peaking at around 35—37 degrees. probably the highest temperature in and around the london area by this stage. but there are signs of a change. through into sunday, an area of low pressure pushes out of france, which will then sit in place for the start of next week. splotches of blue, yes, they are indeed the chance of rain, potentially some quite nasty thunderstorms as well. and with the ground dry, that could lead to some flooding in one or two spots. but, being thunderstorms, they're going to be very much scattered around, hit—and—miss. most places still dry and sunny until late in the day, still pretty hot. temperatures drop as we go into next week, only slowly. the nights stay warm, but there is that potential here and there of some missing out of some storms.
