hello there. welcome along, i'm paul scott at the bbc sports centre. here is what we've got coming up in the programme. manchester city see off bayern munich in the champions league. next up, a mouthwatering clash against real madrid in the semi—finals. or the other semi is an all italian affair as inter milan beat benfica to set up a milan derby in the last four and a maximum 147 break for kyren wilson. he's only the ninth player

in history to achieve it at the crucible and it could earn him nearly $70,000. hello there. welcome along to the program. now let's start with the champions league, because we now know the semi—final line up. manchester city will play real madrid after completing thejob in germany against bayern munich in their quarterfinal. while it's inter against ac milan in the other semi after inter held off benfica while joe lynskey watched all the action unfold and joins us now. joe, good to see you. manchester city had a commanding lead to take to munich, didn't they? and they they got the job done. yeah, professionaljob from manchester city paul in an intimidating place at the allianz arena. they drew one one with bayern munich on the night. but that three nil lead they built up in manchester in the first leg more than enough to see them through this quarterfinal and into the semifinals to play real madrid, the same team who beat them at the same stage in this competition last year. it could have been even more comfortable for city had

erling haaland scored from the penalty spot in the first half, but rare for him. he let the pressure get to him and skied it over the crossbar. bayern then did have chances to close that 3—goal gap, but haaland made amends for that miss in the second half with his 48th goal in all competitions extending the record for a premier league player in one campaign. bayern did score a late penalty, but it was too late by then, city into the last four to face real and pep guardiola on the prospect of that match has said, "i had a feeling we would see them, wow. all clubs know if you want to win the champions league you have to beat real madrid." yeah. looking forward to that semifinal. the other quarterfinal, there was a goal fest, wasn't there? but it was inter milan who came through. real scenes ofjubilation. paulfor inter milan at the san siro this evening. they drew three three on the night with benfica, the portuguese champions. but like manchester city, they had a commanding lead from the first leg, a 2—goal advantage enough to see them

through five three on aggregate, and it was second half goals from their argentine pair, lautaro martinez and joaquin barella, that made this comfortable for inter in the second half. that gave them a 3—1 lead on the night and they've set up that tantalising semi—final, as you say, against their city rivals, ac milan. they have met in the knockouts of the champions league before. the last time was back in 2005 when ac milan won in the quarterfinals. they went on then to play in that famous final, which they lost to liverpool. they also met in the semi—finals in 2003, which ac milan also won. very close between them in serie a at the moment, these two teams, ac milan, fourth into fifth. it's going to be quite a double header at the san siro next month for that milan derby. yeah, business end of the competition. it's exciting stuff. joe, thank you very much. elsewhere, tiger woods has undergone more ankle surgery to treat arthritis caused by a previous injury. woods, who's now a7, had to pull out 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 was up 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, the world snooker championship in sheffield with the first 1—4—7 maximum break of this year's tournament. he was taking on ryan day in the opening round and this is how wilson finished off the frame, achieving what is only the 13th 1—4—7 in the tournament's history. if no one matches it, he stands to earn nearly $70,000 in additional prize money. wilson went on to win the match ten frames to five. he'll face a—time champion john higgins next. facetime with my kids.

they got home from school and sophie said to me that bailey and finley both ran out of their classes and give her a big hug because the school was kind enough to put it on for them. oh, how fantastic. yeah, that was awesome. not such good news, though, for last year's runner—up and 2019 championjudd trump. he is out. trump has 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. now, 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 dougal spoke to australian cricket broadcaster adam collins and began by asking what was behind warner's inclusion. his record in england's pretty poor. it was disastrous back in 2019 when stuart broad had the wood over him. but taken as a whole, i think

they want the experience of warner over here. but i draw a little bit of a distinction between the world test championship, which is between australia and india before the ashes. i can see a world where warner plays in that and retires or might even be left out of the ashes squad. so it's no sure thing he'll play against england, even though he'll be here in the country. are you concerned, adam, that there's a lack of bowling depth? only four seamers included? is that a gamble? it's definitely a departure from what they went with in 2019. so in �*19 they had six seamers and they rotated five of them through the five test matches. the idea being they wanted what they called a squad mentality. they didn't want to exhaust their bowlers and it worked pretty well. the difference this time around

is they're very comfortable with cummins, the captain leading the attack. the experience of starc and hazlewood and the the golden arm of scott boland, their logic is if they need to call up a fast bowler, michael neser is down the road at glamorgan, playing in wales. so adam, i'm sure it won't have escaped your notice that england have won their last 9 of their last 11 tests and also added to that, australia haven't won a series in england since 2001. confident? the bazball revolution has been pretty special. numbers you detailed there. every metric you choose to point at, they've changed test cricket. we should be so lucky to have a series that goes all the way to the wire with the australian side. on paper, the best in the world and the resurgent england side. i can't think of an ashes series that's better placed since 2005. elsewhere, four days to go now until this year's london marathon. participants are probably winding down training and beginning to carb—load ahead of the a2km course. but what about those taking part who are observing ramadan and have to fast for up to 15 hours a day? haroon mota from muslim runners has been speaking to lydia campbell about his motivations behind running the marathon while training during ramadan. i'm haroon mota and i'm running

the london marathon. experienced runner harun will be lining up in london alongside around 50,000 other people. but for muslims running the race through the capital this year, they've had an extra challenge to contend with. training for the london marathon has been tough. it's 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 can't 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 fuelling 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're 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 experts refer to as a fasted state, and training then can actually make the body more efficient. when we exercise in a fasted state, we utilise more fat for energy compared to carbohydrate, so that can bring some potential benefits you could potentially exercise for a bit longer using your fat stores more and sparing your glycogen, your carbohydrate stores, which we know if we deplete during a marathon, you kind of like hit the wall, as it's called.

exercise rates amongst south asians in britain a re low so another motivation for haroon is inspiring his community into sport. when i first started running, i'll be honest and saying it was very lonely. i would travel to different cities, running half marathons and marathons, and you could count on your fingers or sometimes not count at all the number of people of ethnic, minority and race participation. things have changed a lot since then, but there's so much more to do. people that would never, ever dream of completing 26.2 miles, to see them just get to the start line itself is a massive achievement. and how much that also normalises, you know, running for our communities. that's the biggest sort of value and appreciation that i have. for haroon, this hasn'tjust been about running a marathon. it's 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 sport for now. we'll see you next time.

0ur 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. 1a 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.
