the temperature didn't drop where the temperature didn't drop below 19 last night in london. some heavy bursts of rain in scotland and northern ireland followed by sunshine and if you showers in the north—west. this rain doesn't look like much but could be heavy as it sinks into northern england, just one or two air showers. the temperature tomorrow similar to what we had today so looking at around 24, 25 at best. second half of the weekend, the best of the sunshine in scotland while those showers move away, sunshine for northern england and perhaps northern ireland but further south cloud coming from the atlantic, thick enough to give us pockets of light rain and drizzle developing through the day and as a result the temperature may not be quite as high on sunday. maybe wetter weather on sunday night and on monday the tangle of weather fronts sweeps eastwards, all our weather coming in from the atlantic for next week but doesn't look like a lot of whether to head our way.

most of the wet weather next week will come on monday and after that fairly typical late summer fair. some sunshine and dry weather around and the temperature some sunshine and dry weather around and the temperature near some sunshine and dry weather around and the temperature near normal some sunshine and dry weather around and the temperature near normal for the time of year. thank you, darren. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc news website but the news continues here on bbc ones wejoin their but the news continues here on bbc ones we join their colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are, i will be back at ten, untilthen, have a where you are, i will be back at ten, until then, have a very good evening. hello and welcome to sportsday. england are skittled at lord's, as their tactic backfires against south africa. . ~' , ~' their tactic backfires against south africa. ~ , ~ .,

good evening, now the coach said, you have to buckle up for the right with this kind of cricket they are playing, but the wheels all fell off today, pretty spectacularly? yes. playing, but the wheels all fell off today, pretty spectacularly? yes, i thinkthat's — today, pretty spectacularly? yes, i think that's fair _ today, pretty spectacularly? yes, i think that's fair enough. _ today, pretty spectacularly? yes, i think that's fair enough. bear - today, pretty spectacularly? yes, i think that's fair enough. bear in i think that's fair enough. bear in mind that this match finished before for pm on the third day, and then we lost hours of play on the first day because of rain. this really was a quick ride, but as you say, we will have to get used to it, as ben stokes is not one to change strategy. first, let's take you through the action of the day, which began with the south africans batting. england's problem is that they allowed south african to hit too many. south africa built the lead to 161 runs. england's tactics of calling for tail—enders didn't work. england came in to bat and

lost to wickets before lunch. it is very interesting to see the south african captain use his spin bowler so early. the south african attack has great quality and variety. then it was over to the fast bowlers. johnny bairstow, and so dominant in the summer, zero and 18, he perished, on the boundary. he will attack, he will be positive to the last. the strategy under ben stokes of trying to dominate matches wherever they can, that is going to continue. this was clear when we heard from ben stokes when he spoke to the media shortly after the close of pay. we can hear from to the media shortly after the close of pay. we can hearfrom him now. over the three days, whenever they were batting or bowling, whatever we threw _ were batting or bowling, whatever we threw at— were batting or bowling, whatever we

threw at them, they seem to counteract that. obviously, we have to give _ counteract that. obviously, we have to give a _ counteract that. obviously, we have to give a lot — counteract that. obviously, we have to give a lot of credit. it was an off game — to give a lot of credit. it was an off game for us, it is absently fine~ — off game for us, it is absently fine i— off game for us, it is absently fine i will_ off game for us, it is absently fine. i will be throwing motels like the pram. — fine. i will be throwing motels like the pram, the message from me and the pram, the message from me and the coach _ the pram, the message from me and the coach upstairs will be, did we commit _ the coach upstairs will be, did we commit to— the coach upstairs will be, did we commit to the way that we committed to everything in the first four tests— to everything in the first four tests of— to everything in the first four tests of the summer, and if anyone can say— tests of the summer, and if anyone can say yes, — tests of the summer, and if anyone can say yes, then things are good, we witt— can say yes, then things are good, we will move onto the next test match _ we will move onto the next test match and — we will move onto the next test match and try to win. will be any tweaks in times of personnel?— will be any tweaks in times of personnel? will be any tweaks in times of ersonnel? ~ ., , ., , personnel? well, zach crawley has not looked very — personnel? well, zach crawley has not looked very confident. - personnel? well, zach crawley has not looked very confident. of- not looked very confident. of course, i don't think the bowlers got through a hell of a lot of work here, because the match was so

short. the next aspect is this general approach of england. i think it is really hard to dominate bowlers when they are as good as the south africans. am i being old—fashioned and suggesting that there might be periods of play where england just have to go on the defensive about? ben stokes would tell us, don't be so typically british with that doom and gloom attitude. there is still two tennis matches to win, but if the next matches to win, but if the next match is in full like this one, i'm not sure how long the strategy will stand up. not sure how long the strategy will stand u -. , not sure how long the strategy will stand u. , ., stand up. there is one huge positive. — stand up. there is one huge positive. you _ stand up. there is one huge positive, you have - stand up. there is one huge positive, you have the - stand up. there is one huge - positive, you have the weekend off! we're heading into the final weekend at the multi—sport european championships in germany. great britain are second in the medal table after more success today, and there's still a busy evening ahead in munich. nesta mcgregor is there for us, nesta. a lot to look forward to? good

something else. he had raced just twice this year on mountain bike, so would start way down the field. on tracks like this, he went past 30 riders, and from the front he pushed again. this time, not through the alps, much round munich skyline, and with rocky descent. by the last few laps, he was so far clear. watch the top of the screen, it is not a bird or a plane. top of the screen, it is not a bird ora plane. pidcock top of the screen, it is not a bird or a plane. pidcock won this race at the olympics, now he is a european champion. he won this race at 22, and a 23 he is understated. i champion. he won this race at 22, and a 23 he is understated.- and a 23 he is understated. i kind of made it _ and a 23 he is understated. i kind of made it hard _ and a 23 he is understated. i kind of made it hard for— and a 23 he is understated. i kind of made it hard for myself, - and a 23 he is understated. i “if. of made it hard for myself, because this course with the speed, riding up this course with the speed, riding up front by myself, it makes it all the more hard. ifelt pretty good, so it is nice to be back. the

european final her path is clear. plenty on day nine, and much more to come as well. big names in the women's 400 metres. we have the netherlands, and the norwegian in the men's race, who is the current olympic champion and record—holder. if we are talking about british interests, laura amir will be trying to defend her 1500 metre title from berlin. we hearfrom dina asher—smith, who will be keen to get back on the podium. dina asher—smith says more research has to be carried out looking at how periods impact performance at elite level. asher—smith defends her 200m title this evening — after recovering from the calf

problem that saw her limp out of the 100 metres final. she explained that her period caused cramping during the race — she wants everyone to be more comfortable talking about female health. more people need to actually research this because it's, huge, and they don't always talk about it but sometimes, you see girls who have been so consistent and there's a random dip, and the behind—the—scenes, there really struggling. and it's like, what's that? that's random. just doing more because yeah, i feel like they have a million different ways to combat things but with women, there just needs to be more funding in that area. dr rebecca robinson specialises in sports and exercise medecine and told me about some of the problems that have held back research into female athlete health. we're learning more about the menstrual cycle.

it is quite a hard area to research, and traditionally a lot of studies have not included females, for example, because the hormones are difficult to track, or they are looking for other areas of health, they have not looked particularly at females because they want to exclude those changes in the mental cycle from affecting our results. of course, the cycle changes in the month for most females, and different symptoms affect different people, and there are lots of reasons perhaps one that has not been researched as much to date. that research is becoming quite exciting, because internationally and certainly in the uk, there are interesting studies that are going to be able to be applied to our female athletes at the elite level, and that can filter through to how you manage female athlete health in grassroots and in the community. i think it is very interesting to hear an athlete speaking out, and it's great to be able to speak out

in a major championships, and very important, and that must be heard, and that message is something that we are hearing from athletes at all levels. it amplifies that need for us all to work together, and take the research we have done so far, so we need to be better, we need to apply it on the track and field. i was quite interested to read about the different symptoms that you are picking up on there. how does it manifest itself differently in different athletes? the menstrual cle is a different athletes? the menstrual cycle is a really — different athletes? the menstrual cycle is a really individual - different athletes? the menstrual cycle is a really individual cycle i cycle is a really individual cycle for every women, what is interesting is that you can have is someone whose periods affect them in certain way, or perhaps very minimally at one stage of the career, and over age that can in time. it's very difficult have a routine that can change as they get older, after having children. it can individually different. forsome having children. it can individually different. for some women they will experience really difficult symptoms like bloating, cramps and pain,

without leaving the sport is not an option, and one of the reasons it is important to listen to someone who has had difficulties at the very elite side is that that same set of symptoms might affect someone at a much younger age in school pe, and that might make them not want to participate because of the fat we have not talked about it, and addressed it from a young age. it is really important, and again we do have some women for whom the symptoms are not particularly significant, and can manage well. for those, a significant proportion of people, for whom it is disabling at times during that time of the month in terms of what they want to do and be able to participate in, they do need to make sure that we can understand better and address the symptoms. anthonyjoshua and oleksandr usyk have weighed in for tomorrow night's heavyweight rematch in saudi arabia. joshua is over a stone

heavier than the ukrainian, just as he was 11 months ago, when usyk won on points in london to claim the wba, wbo and ibf world titles. ade adedoyin is injeddah for us. the two fighters have weighed in. alongside me is a former champion of the world. all the talk in the lead up the world. all the talk in the lead up was that i was under the sikh was going to come in a lot heavier, —— oleksandr usyk. taste going to come in a lot heavier, -- oleksandr usyk.— going to come in a lot heavier, -- oleksandr usyk. we are all talking about how anthony _ oleksandr usyk. we are all talking about how anthony joshua - oleksandr usyk. we are all talking about how anthony joshua is - oleksandr usyk. we are all talking j about how anthony joshua is going oleksandr usyk. we are all talking i about how anthony joshua is going to about how anthonyjoshua is going to have to change things and box better, but i think that oleksandr usyk will change as well, and he may improve as well. for him it is a similarfight in terms of

improve as well. for him it is a similar fight in terms of the improve as well. for him it is a similarfight in terms of the in and out, the side to side, moving around the opponent rather than moving backwards. that is as great strength, he pulls at different angles, and because he boxes in the ring space, and if he goes into the back of the ropes, he is a bit more vulnerable, and that is why very see oleksandr usyk on the ropes. i don't think we read much into things, we know what they have got to do, we have been with them all week in various places. anthonyjoshua is very switched on, very focused, he knows he has to win this fight, and yesterday very differently in terms of his performance than last time. he is switched on and focus, forget about this face—off, it doesn't mean anything, they know each other, they both know what they have got to do, and let's just wait and see what happens now. and let'sjust wait and see what happens now— and let'sjust wait and see what ha ens now. ., ., ~ ., ~ ., , happens now. you talk about anthony joshua being — happens now. you talk about anthony joshua being switched _ happens now. you talk about anthony joshua being switched on, _ happens now. you talk about anthony joshua being switched on, he - happens now. you talk about anthony joshua being switched on, he has i joshua being switched on, he has been quite intense all week, after the way that he made his way off to the way that he made his way off to the change room, no interviews with

the change room, no interviews with the media. oleksandr usyk stayed, do we read anything into that body language, is anthonyjoshua under more pressure? is language, is anthony joshua under more pressure?— language, is anthony joshua under more pressure? is left in the under more pressure? is left in the under more pressure. _ more pressure? is left in the under more pressure, that _ more pressure? is left in the under more pressure, that he _ more pressure? is left in the under more pressure, that he realises i more pressure? is left in the underl more pressure, that he realises that he has got to be very focused and motivated now. he doesn't want to speak to the press, he does not want to be distracted. i think because he is such a nice fellow, he will talk to everyone and anyone. from the man in the street to... at the end of the day he is a people's person. but he realises that his career could be online here. he needs to be focused, thatis online here. he needs to be focused, that is what i read into it. i also read into it that maybe he is a bit nervous, which i think is good. when you box a limited fear going through your veins, that makes you box better. i think he realises that he is in with a top—class pound for pound fighter, he has to fight better, and maybe there is a bit of fear there, better, and maybe there is a bit of fearthere, but better, and maybe there is a bit of fear there, but she won't admit, but there is, and that will make an box

probably win on points. iie but for me, oleksandr usyk will probably win on points.- probably win on points. he is echoin: probably win on points. he is echoing what _ probably win on points. he is echoing what i _ probably win on points. he is echoing what i have - probably win on points. he is echoing what i have heard i probably win on points. he isj echoing what i have heard all probably win on points. he is echoing what i have heard all week, anthonyjoshua has to remember that he is the bigger and stronger man, it is not long until you find out who is the better man. time for a quick round—up of some of the days other headlines. there've been more golds for great britain at the european aquatics championships in rome, ben cutmore and kyle kothari won in the men's synchro platform dive. it's kothari's second gold of the fortnight. british number one cameron norrie is into the cincinatti open quarterfinals. he lostjust two games against the american wild card ben shelton, and will now play the spanish teenager carlos alcaraz. emma raducanu fell short of the quarters in cincinatti, beaten in straight sets by the americanjessica pegula. raducanu will now prepare for the defence of her us open title in new york in ten days' time.

the former manchester united manager, sir alex ferguson, has been giving evidence in defence of ryan giggs. the former footballer is on trial accused of assaulting his ex partner and her younger sister, which he denies. sir alex told the court giggs had a "fantastic temperament". our sports news correspondent, laura scott, was in court. the end of the second week of ryan giggs's trial move from sexual poems to stardust. the jury heard 100 pages of sometimes explicit text messages, and a letter that kate greville had written but never sent in late 2020. titled, the final goodbye, it said, i was living one life with you, you are living multiple lies with dozens of women. one of the biggest names in football was called to give his view of ryan

giggs's character. this was fergie time, because during an 11 minute period in the witness box, sir alex ferguson talked about meeting ryan giggs as an 11—year—old boy. he went on to manage gigs for more than 20 years at manchester united, and said that when he lost his temper in the dressing room, he would often use ryan giggs as an example. he said that he knew he could take it when he lost his temper. he said that he fulfilled everything we ever wish for. he said he was without a doubt a best example of the club, and everyone looked at ryan as the number one. other witnesses included the chair of salford city football club, who ryan giggs co—owns, the former chief of manchester united, david gill,... giggs denies all the

charges against him. manchester united manager erik ten hag has called on the fans to get behind the team with fears of more protests against the clubs owners, the glazerfamily, ahead of monday's match against liverpool. united are bottom of the premier league after two defeats so far this season. the new manager says he hasn't been at united long enough to understand the full details behind the supporters discontent. ican i can only say that we always want to win, and we want the fans behind the club, and i can't understand, sometimes, i'm not that long in the club, i can see all the background, and we have to fight together, we have to be unified and fight together. this week's football news show is now available to watch on the iplayer and today it's taking a look at chelsea's new ownership. former blues defender michael duberry is among the guests reflecting on their start to the season. the realistic expectation is to be

challenging for a title, that it is the demand of the club. can they challenge manchester city and liverpool? can they sustain it until the last, that is questionable. i think they need to boost their squad to do that. many years ago, we would have said, yes, let's get the champions league, but we want to be winning leagues, and we want to be winning leagues, and we want to be winning titles on all fronts. realistically, it has to be challenging until the very last game and being competitive, there is a chance of winning the league. let's have a look a some of the days football headlines. chelsea's manager thomas tuchel has recieved a one—match touchline ban and fined 35 thousand pounds following his clash with spurs boss antonio conte last weekend. the italian was fined 15 thousand pounds manchester united are closing in on a deal worth nearly 60 million pounds. for the 30—year old brazil international casemiro. real madrid manager carlo ancelotti has confirmed that the midfielder wants to leave.
