notice there is forecast for sunday. notice there is another weather front brushing southern parts of england. it will arrive early in the night, and that of course means it will affect the london marathon. thejury of course means it will affect the london marathon. the jury is still out, but it does look as though there will be some morning rain and then in the afternoon, it should dry out, so this is what it looks like. watch the clock. 10am, reining across the south, and by around lunchtime, that rain should be out of the way. but for the rest of the country, it does look as though sunday will be a mostly sunny day, with highs up to around 16. sophie. thanks, tomasz. and that's bbc news at six on friday, september 30. 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. hi there, welcome to sportsday this friday night. i'm chetan pathak. coming up on the programme:

welcome along. thank you forjoining us. we start tonight with cricket. england playing a t20 match against pakistan. if they beat pakistan, they'll tie their seven—match t20 series at 3—3 and force a decider. lose and it's job done for pakistan, who'd have an unaissable lead. the hosts recovered from a slow start to post 169—6. babarazam, a sublime 87 off 59 balls. chasing 170, to win, england are going very nicely, i can say. they have got victory in their sites. under the lights in lahore, england's task was simple. win and keep the series ally. they started strong with two early wickets, but this has been a series of twists and turns. this match would be no different. babar is one of world's best batters and he was soon changed
6:33 pm
the narrative. england left bemused. pakistan's captain would finish unbeaten on 87. england needed 170 to win. a total that felt imposing to win. a total that felt imposing to everyone but england's two openers. phil salt and alex hales got to work, and in some soil too. the boundary of being found with ease. pakistan did remove alex hales, but he did not stop the runs. dawood malan joined hales, but he did not stop the runs. dawood malanjoined in. salt getting his half—century off 19 balls. england racing towards victory, the series seemingly heading towards a decider. michael redford, bbc news. england closing in on victory at the moment, they are 150—2. salt, 80 runs for him so far, unbeaten. england look like they are going to get thatjob done, though, take us to a decider. we will bring you the
6:34 pm
result as we get it. next tonight, rugby union. administrators at worcester warriors say they expect many players and staff to leave the club and serve breach of contract notices after not getting paid today. the men's and women's sides are currently suspended from all competitions because the company that owns them went into administration on monday. the player salaries are paid by a separate business, but that's also facing a winding—up petition from hmrc next week. julie palmer is from the firm in charge of worcester�*s administration. i spoke to her earlier. my my understanding is that the wages aren't being paid today, there were no funds to do that, so i imagine the players association will be advising the players to serve 14 days notice of termination of their contracts on the players side. the next thing that will happen potentially is there is a winding up period on that company on the 5th of october. i understand the directors,
6:35 pm
the intentions of hrc is to go on with a winding appear is. henge the intentions of hrc is to go on with a winding appear is. have you not a with a winding appear is. have you got a message _ with a winding appear is. have you got a message for— with a winding appear is. have you got a message for fans _ with a winding appear is. have you got a message for fans deeply - got a message for fans deeply worried about the uncertain future? people are working very long hours, we are moving within a very tight timescale at the moment, but the reality is the club is in administration. the concern is how quickly can be dealt with. we need to factor in their timescales, to satisfy the test they have but also the focus very much is on longer term viability and also concerns that the more weeks that go by, the more they have concerns as to whether a club could play again this season and protect the integrity of the league. it is for that very
6:36 pm
reason, that i stressed to interested parties, we weeks to deliver action. interested parties, we weeks to deliveraction. may interested parties, we weeks to deliver action. may be a time extension to get us over the line, so a very tight timescale, a complex transaction as well, but as a positive note, we are dealing with more serious expressions of interest at the moment and inquiries to people who might be interested, if they could move quickly enough on this, so there is real interest in terms of keeping rugby going at worcester at the moment. we are three days in and our focus is on speaking to those interested parties and seeing if we can deliver on the timescales we are working to. we're just over a fortnight away from england taking on samoa in the opening match of the rugby league world cup. england, of course, are the hosts for the 16—team tournament. today, head coach shaun wane announced his 24—man squad for the tournament. as expected, catalans' sam tomkins
6:37 pm
is confirmed as captain, but several high—profile players won't be available, with st helens' jonny lomax, mark percival and alex walmsley all injured. hugh ferris has more. these are the 24 names selected by england had coach shaun wane that he hopeful take his team to eventual world cup success. as the host nation for the rugby league world cup, he says the last 24 hours has been fraught with phone calls and tears during those phone calls and conversations where he has had to let some people down. others have had to rule themselves out through injury, but at the end of all of those phone calls, he has settled on a squad. he says he is happy with it and excited about it ahead of that first game with simmo in just over two weeks' time. i've been speaking to shaun wane, the captain sam tomkins and also kallum watkins at

6:40 pm
centre herbie farnworth, newcastle knights winger dom young and sydney roosters forward victor radley. there's also a place for salford's mark sneyd, one of the six uncapped players in the squad. time now for a quick look at some of the other stories making one of horse racing's top flat jockeys, christophe soumillon, has been banned for 60 days after pushing another rider off a horse during a race in france earlier today. the incident happened towards the back of the field at st cloud. soumillon appeared to lean into fellow jockey rossa ryan until he fell off. ryan wasn't seriously hurt and soumillon said it was an accident. but he's been disqualified and given a two—month ban, starting on october 14th, which means he can still ride one of the favourites in the prix de l'arc de triomph this sunday. it should never have happened. it was dangerous. but he apologised straightaway to the rider, rossa ryan, affected, to the horse and the trainer of the horse as well. he is aware he put them
6:41 pm
in real potential danger. luckily, no harm came of that incident, to horse or rider, and i admire soumillon for putting his hands up and being so apologetic so soon after the event. as i say, largely out of character, but what an extraordinary rush of blood to the had that was. it could have been so much worse. after the international break, the premier league is back with two eye—catching derbies. in manchester, city and united face each other at the etihad on sunday, but before that, there's a north london derby tomorrow afternoon which could see either arsenal or tottenham top of the table come the end of the weekend. no surprise that fans of both sides are feeling confident. it has been a really positive start to the season, quite enjoyable to watch. mikel arteta is really starting to put his print on the

6:45 pm
by two shots. world number two rory mcilroy racked up world number two rory mcilroy racked up three bogeys and a double bogey as he slipped to 41st. british number one cam norrie pulled out of the korea open less than an hour before his quarter final against american jenson brooksby. norrie said he was suffering from jet lag after beating japan's kaichi uchida yesterday. elvin evans is about to start the penultimate day of rally new zealand just two tenths of a second behind leader oit tanak. the welshman challenged for the world title the last two seasons, but with just three events to go, he's yet to win this year. a brutal concussion suffered by a player in american football is leading to big questions around whether the nfl is doing enough to protect players who've suffered a head injury. last sunday, the miami dolphins quarterback tua tagovailoa looked unsteady on his feet after a big tackle against the buffalo bills. four days later, he was passed fit to play — which surprised some.
6:46 pm
and then this happened last night. a warning, some people may find these pictures distressing. tagovailoa was involved in a challenge where he suffered a concussion, some of his movements suggesting he'd suffered a brain injury. he was taken to hospital and has since been released. many feel he shouldn't have been allowed to play after sunday's injury. this is, for understandable reasons, deeply troubling. the nfl has had conversations for a long time now about whether it has been to be enough to deal with in particular concussion and head injuries. this was the player being structured off. he was taken to hospital, has thankfully since been released. we have heard now from his coach at the miami dolphins. as mike mcdaniel. if there is any sort of inclination
6:47 pm
that someone has a concussion, they go into the concussion protocol and it is very strict. yeah, if people do not vary or stray, we don't mess with that, never have, and as long as i am the head coach, that will never be an issue that you guys have to worry about. mike mcdaniel speaking at a press conference. we approached the nfl�*s chief medical officer for an interview today, but we are told that wasn't possible. speaking elsewhere, he said the nfl�*s made a number of changes to concussion protocol — they've got better and continue to get better, he says. they're going to be speaking with everyone who was involved last sunday in the evaluation and decision making around that game to see what lessons can be learned. a short while ago, i spoke to chris nowinski, ceo of the concussion legacy foundation, who's deeply critical of the nfl and also
6:48 pm
the miami dolphins. thought the nfl would step in because they know better and everything was so obvious to everybody that he had a concussion on sunday. i thought they would step in and say, don't let him play. instead i sigh tweet of them promoting tua versusjoe burrow, this is a big thursday night game. i said, this is absurd, he could get a second concussion, if he and his career. unfortunately he got that second concussion for he showed posturing, hands clenched. who knows what he will do from here, but it was such a feeling of protocol and human ethics.— was such a feeling of protocol and human ethics. more analysis on that sto over human ethics. more analysis on that story over on _ human ethics. more analysis on that story over on the _ human ethics. more analysis on that story over on the bbc _ human ethics. more analysis on that story over on the bbc website -- . story over on the bbc website —— failing of protocol. o nto onto formula 1. max verstappen's been utterly dominant this season. the formula 1 championship's been in his hands for some time, and this weekend at the singapore grand prix, he could potentially clinch what'll
6:49 pm
be his second world title. but last season's controversial win over lewis hamilton is back in the spotlight again after claims red bull breached last season's budget cap. team boss christian horner says it's all speculation. i've been talking to our f1 reporterjennie gow. she started by telling me what verstappen stands to achieve this weekend. hat verstappen stands to achieve this weekend. ., ., , , , weekend. not only is it his 25th birthday this — weekend. not only is it his 25th birthday this weekend - weekend. not only is it his 25th birthday this weekend but - weekend. not only is it his 25th birthday this weekend but it - weekend. not only is it his 25th birthday this weekend but it is i weekend. not only is it his 25th i birthday this weekend but it is also his first chance to win the world title this year. to do it, he must win here. that is the first element of the equation. and then on top of that he has to hope that charles leclerc finishes eight or below and his team—mate sergio perez finishes off the podium. bit of a long shot that there is no doubt he will win the title this year. it is just a case of when he win it. the title this year. it is “ust a case of when he win it. christian horner case of when he win it. christian homer has _ case of when he win it. christian horner has coded _ case of when he win it. christian horner has coded speculation, l case of when he win it. christian j horner has coded speculation, it case of when he win it. christian i horner has coded speculation, it is important to say that, some claims that red bull breached last season's budget cap. what have you got on that? ., ., . ., , , , that? the whole tadic has whipped into a frenzy _ that? the whole tadic has whipped into a frenzy right _ that? the whole tadic has whipped into a frenzy right now. _ that? the whole tadic has whipped into a frenzy right now. we - that? the whole tadic has whipped into a frenzy right now. we are - into a frenzy right now. we are waiting to find out which teams have
6:50 pm
overspent, if any. the budget cap came in last yearfor overspent, if any. the budget cap came in last year for the first time. it limits the spent two £114 million — that seems like a lot of money, but in formula 1 racing, it does not get you that far. speculation came out today by two well—known and well—respected publications that two of those teams in the paddock have overspent, and the finger was pointed towards aston martin, which might have been minimal and almost an administrative error in their paperwork, but for red bull their accusations they have overspent and if they have, which we will find out on wednesday, when the fia release all the certificates to every single team, telling exactly how much they spend, there could be some fairly severe punishments down the line. wejust some fairly severe punishments down the line. we just have to find out if a team has overspent, and if so ljy if a team has overspent, and if so by how much, and there is precedent
6:51 pm
set down, rules we can go to if some thing happen. some people say it could be they are stripped of the title last season. i think it is a bit premature to go down that route, but there are certainly people thinking that there is a question mark overall will happen, wednesday. next tonet, london marathon organisers say they are doing everything they can to help with travel disruption due to a planned rail strike. travel disruption due to a planned railstrike. many travel disruption due to a planned rail strike. many participants expected to make the long journey to the capital ahead of the event, but they are being warned 90% of rail services will not run the day before the race. huge amount of work being done by network rail and southeastern to ensure that all the train schedule to get the runners to the start will do that, so the start procedure takes an hour and a half, so should someone be late, they can always go back to a later corral. everyone is seated according to their protective
6:52 pm
finish time, so that part of it, on the sunday, we expect minimal impact. the impact is more for people coming to london, where they coming from outside london on saturday. on the day, all the two planes are working, audio law is working and that is possibly why we have a higher registration figure on the wednesday and thursday that we actually ever had so far in the history of the london marathon. let's bring you up—to—date what what has happened in that sixth t20 in lahore, or england, i can tell you, have got thejob lahore, or england, i can tell you, have got the job done. they have got past pakistan. phil salt, 87 from him. england were chasing 170 to get thejob done. babar azam 87, but it was not enough, and so england get that match won, it is all level at
6:53 pm
3-3, with that match won, it is all level at 3—3, with the decider, which should be mouthwatering, on sunday. 3:30 p:m., that gets under way, uk time. and finally tonight, sue barker, a giant of broadcasting who this summer, at wimbledon, brought the curtain down on her 30—year career at the bbc. she's been reflecting on her life as a grand slam tennis champion and a presenter in her autobiography, which is out now. i spoke to her earlier today about some of her career highlights, which includes the farewell she got at wimbledon injuly. it just felt, my 30th year, itjust felt, my 30th year, the centenary of limited, was a good year to —— of wimbledon, would be a good year to stop the stub i knew it would be emotional, i did not know how much. on that last day, when tim henman interrupted me and went through to this video, which was usually embarrassing most of the time! a lot of it, they had me talking when i was 15 to 20, and i
6:54 pm
was going down micro i don't sound like that! where did that voice come from? i like to be in the atmosphere and with tennis people. then at the end, all of these unbelievable champions, these people i have admired and looked up to, yes, they are friends — used to look up to what they have done — i am going to well up thinking about it! you what they have done - i am going to well up thinking about it!— well up thinking about it! you won one grand slam, _ well up thinking about it! you won one grand slam, one _ well up thinking about it! you won one grand slam, one more - well up thinking about it! you won one grand slam, one more than i well up thinking about it! you won - one grand slam, one more than anyone will win mostly! emma raducanu, any advice for her at the moment? you are one of the few who have walked in her shoes as a young grand slam champion. what advice would you have for her? the champion. what advice would you have for her? , , ., ., , for her? the best thing that has ha--ened for her? the best thing that has happened to — for her? the best thing that has happened to emma _ for her? the best thing that has happened to emma is _ for her? the best thing that has happened to emma is exactly i for her? the best thing that has i happened to emma is exactly what is happening now. ithink happened to emma is exactly what is happening now. i think that grand slam came so early. when i won my
6:55 pm
grand slam, i was already the world's top ten. emma was a qualifier when she won it, so at least i had some grounding and i knew winning and losing matches and i have had the fun of learning on the tour, and what i feel for emma is that she has lost that period of having fun on the turn because she went like third tournament, straight in, win the grand slam and summary there'sa in, win the grand slam and summary there's a massive target on your back. i don't think, much as though she said it did not bother her, it has to either her. it has to be something in the back of your mind. i think now that the ranking has dropped, she is now in the second tier of tournaments, she will learn so much more about winning and losing matches and i think a couple of years, she will be better for it. in terms of writing this autobiography, what stood out to you in the interviews you have done? it is more andy... one is to doubt the most, in 2012, when he lost to federer and he tried to speak and he
