of the masters midway through the third round earlier this month, which he attributed to a foot injury. he now looks highly likely to miss next month's us pga championship. the masters was the fifth tournament woods has played since a car accident in february 2021. he's completed 72 holes just twice in those five events. kyren wilson provided the highlight on day five of the world snooker championship in sheffield, with the first 147 maximum break of this year's tournament. he was taking on ryan day in the opening round — this is how wilson finished off the frame, achieving what is only the 13th 147 in the tournament's history. if no—one matches it, he stands to earn nearly 70,000 dollars in additional prize money. wilson went on to win the match 10 frames to five. he'll face four time championjohn higgins next. facetimed with my kids they got home from school and sophie said to me that bailey and

finley both ran out of their classes and gave her a big hug because the school was kind just to put it on for them. so that was awesome. not such good news for last year's runner—up and 2019 championjudd trump — he's out. trump's been in poorform of late and had no answer to scotland's anthony mcgill, who won 10 frames to 6. mcgill will play his friend jack lisowski in the second round. australia have named a few surprise inclusions in their squad ahead of this summer's ashes in england. david warner will be there, despite his recent poor run of form and — for the first time in three years — mitchell marsh has been included in the 17 player squad for the first two tests. earlier our reporter jane dougall spoke to australian cricket broadcaster adam collins and began by asking, what was behind warner's inclusion? his record in england was poor, but taken as a whole, they want the experience of that over here. i draw a distinction between

the world test championship which is between australia and india before the ashes. i can see a world warner played that are retires or not even be left out of the ashes squad. he might play against england even though he will be here in the country. are you concerned that there is a lack of bowling depth, only four a seamers included. is that a gamble? it's definitely a departure from what they went within 2019. they had a five test matches, the idea being that they wanted but they called a squad mentality committed didn't want to exhaust their bowlers and it works pretty well. the difference this time around is a captain leading the experience of stark and hazelwood and the golden isle of scott bolin. their logic is that they need to call up a fastball or down the road, they've got morgan playing in wales. england have won their last nine of their last 11 tests. and also added to that,

australia haven't won a series in england since 2001. confident? the fastball revolution has been pretty special, the numbers you mentioned there, every metric you choose to point out, they have changed test cricket. we should be so lucky to have a test series that goes all the way to the wire with the australian side on paper, at least some of the best in the world, and the resurgence of the english side. i cannot think of ashes series that has been a better place since 2005. there's four days to go now until this year's london marathon. participants about now are probably winding down training and beginning to carb—load ahead of the 42 kilometre course. but what about those taking part who are observing ramadan and have to fast for up to 15 hours a day? haroon moota from "muslim runners" has been speaking to lydia campbell about his motivations behind running the marathon, while training during ramadan. my name is haroon and i am

running the london marathon. haroon runner will be lining up in london alongside around 50,000 other people, but for muslims running the race to the capital this year, they have had an extra challenge to contend with. training for the london marathon has been tough. it is the first time i'm having to train for a marathon during the month of fasting, but i feel really, really strong. i'm in a very positive mental state and i cannot wait to run the marathon on the 23rd of april, just one day after ramadan. ramadan is the month of fasting in islam, and adult muslims who are able will abstain from food and water during daylight hours. this year, the final month of training for the marathon has taken place during ramadan. that means getting up just after 4am and feeling your body not only for the day ahead, but for long training runs. often people think that ramadan is just about being hungry and thirsty, but to be honest, it's not. so when you think about the purpose that you are doing this as a form of obedience to god, you want to reach

the end of ramadan feeling spiritually nourished. but as well as the spiritual benefits of fasting, it can also have physical benefits. a fast of eight or more hours puts your body in what is refered to as a fasted state. training then can actually make the body more efficient. when we exercise and a fasted state, we utilise more fat for energy compared to carbohydrates. so that you can bring some potential benefits. you could potentially exercise for a bit longer using your fat stores more and sparing a glycogen from your carbohydrate stores, which we know if we deplete during the marathon, you kind of hit the wall, as it's called. exercise rates among south asians in britain are low, so another motivation for him is inspiring his community into sport.

when i first started running from i will be honest in saying it was very lonely. i would travel to different cities, running half marathons, marathons, and you could count on yourfingers, or sometimes not count at all, the number of people of ethnic minority in race participation. things have changed a lot since then, but there is so much more to do. people that would never ever dream of completing 26.2 miles to reduce it and get to the start line itself is a massive achievement. and how much that also normalises running for our communities. that is the biggest value and appreciation that i have. for him, this hasn'tjust been about running a marathon, it has been about breaking down barriers and encouraging his community to get involved in exercise during the month of ramadan. lydia campbell, bbc news. and that is all from the world of sports from now we will see

you next time. hello there. our weather story for friday is a tale of two halves, the best of the weather once again through scotland and northern ireland, closest to this area of high pressure. these weather fronts will introduce some cloud and rain at times, be a bit of a nuisance, and that nagging easterly wind still making it feel rather raw on exposed east coasts. so first thing in the morning, the rain quite heavy across norfolk, lincolnshire, into the east midlands, gradually drifting towards wales. there'll also be some showery outbreaks of rain across essex and kent. but north of that, not a bad start. it will be a chilly start. a touch of frost not out of the question across the grampian, but at least in scotland and northern ireland, you will have some sunshine and it will continue like that for much of the day. that easterly breeze, though, always making it feel cooler on exposed east coasts. sheltered western areas seeing the best of the sunshine and warmth.

and as we go through the afternoon, we'll see a line of more persistent rain stretching across the south coast. sunny spells and scattered showers driven in by that strong easterly breeze coming in off the north sea. so 10—12 degrees once again on exposed east coasts. further west, we could see 16 or 17 degrees. favoured spots once again, northern ireland and western scotland. here, the pollen will be high — it's tree pollen at this time of year. medium, perhaps, across much of central and eastern england. now, as we move into the early hours of saturday, we are likely to see this weather front producing some showery outbreaks of rain through scotland and northern ireland, and at the same time, we've got some showery outbreaks of rain into the south—west. sandwiched in between the two, drier and brighter, and once again, much of scotland will see some sunshine. but the temperatures really subdued by then, 11—14 degrees. and as we move out of sunday into monday, we'll start to see this colder northerly flow take over and you really will start to notice the difference right across the country. so on sunday, we'll see some

showery outbreaks of rain just drifting away from the east. drier behind it, but that northerly wind will make it feel quite chilly at times. so temperatures really falling away in scotland, 7—11 degrees by then. 14 degrees the maximum on sunday. and that's going to be the trend as we move into the week ahead. it will turn wetter and then much colder.
