into winter and so we can autumn into winter and so we can look back into the autumn and it has brought us lots of rain, wetter than normal, the blue areas on this map shows the places that have been wetter than normal, particularly for northern ireland, eastern scotland and the south of england. it has also been very warm autumn. the third on record. and that keeps us on course for 2022 potentially to be the warmest year on record. the one thing that could change that would be very cold december. how has dec started? with a lot of fog and where that lingered it stayed chilly and through parts of the midlands into the west country we see more of that fog tonight and it will be quite dense and widespread and further north across the uk, lots of cloud and spits of drizzle so whichever way you slice it, quite a murky night and temperatures typically above freezing if the sky is clear you might get a touch of frost. if
6:31 pm
you might get a touch of frost. if you have travel plans through the midlands, east wales and the west country tomorrow morning, fog could cause issues. however, will start to see more of an easterly breeze developing and that should help the fog break—up so i am hopeful of a little more in the way of sunshine and equally some showers feeding into eastern coasts. northern ireland seeing some sunshine in scotland likely to stick with cloud and drizzle. temperatures at 11 or stornoway but typically 69 degrees. the weekend brings cloud and bits and pieces of rain to the north—west and pieces of rain to the north—west and also a few showers further east. and an easterly breeze making it feel chilly. into next week, we are set to develop this northerly breeze and that really will make it feel cold and it brings the potential for some wintry showers. sophie. thanks, ben. and that's all from the six team tonight. 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.

heading into their first test series in pakistan since 2005. there was a question about whether england's new attacking style would translate to the slower pitches of the sub—continent. well, how about this for an answer? the tourists finished the opening day in rawalpindi on 506 for four with four batters scoring a century. both set new records for test cricket. joe wilson reports. finally, the first england test match in pakistan for 17 years began on time because england found 11 healthy players. that is ben duckett doing his thing. betting within his exact crawley. the virus in the england camp had relented. so spare your sympathy for pakistan's bowlers. welcome england reads the assignment, orthey bowlers. welcome england reads the assignment, or they were delighted to be there. crawley to 100 from just 86 balls. on your feet in the dressing room and why sit down? the

6:46 pm
before. joe wilson, bbc news. aatif nawaz is part of the bbc�*s commentary team in rawalpindi. and he told me how much a significant day for pakistan fell flat once the cricket started. there is a lot of anger and frustration amongst the pakistani fans and even the press. nobody is taking away from that england performance because it was sensational. it was a really breathtaking performance at on the a team that revolutionary could put forth. at the same time, there was a lot of criticism about the team selection, about exposing that level of inexperienced talents to the conditions and pitch that had been prepared. it felt like they were put out to slaughter, really. even if you consider the fact that england themselves are bringing ben duckett back after quite a long laugh from test cricket. but there are still some heavyweight names, and we haven't even got to liam livingston yet. so there was a real sense of getting everything a little bit
