everyone's doubts by playing well. george ford came back from injury early on the season and has completely revamped this team and how they play and those two will be key influencers on tomorrow's game. luther burrell. had to our website for more including the ipos newest star with another big century. that's where you can find of the details to watch this in and follis were on the bbc this weekend. that's all from sportsday. hello there. prospects still looking good for the bank holiday weekend. and today was a good day to be out and about in the sunshine. whether you were walking by the river here in oxfordshire or walking a little higher up in the cumbrian fells. we did see some cloud developing here, but this fine walking weather will continue through the weekend. overnight tonight, skies will clear
6:58 pm
across much of the country, but the cloud will continue to push in on that breeze into the northwest of scotland. so here temperatures will be higher than last night. but last night we got down to one celsius in suffolk and it will be quite chilly overnight where we have those clearer skies in eastern england. but for the bank holiday weekend, a lot of dry weather to come. more sunshine as well, probably turning a bit cooler as the weekend goes on. and we do have that cloud pushing in on that wind across northern ireland and into scotland. there's not much rain really. and later in the northwest there'll be some sunshine. south east scotland, dry and bright and quite warm, some patchy cloud for northern england. sunnier skies further south and not as windy in the south either. it's pointing to a warmer day for england and wales. widely, temperatures reaching 22 or 23 degrees. should be very pleasant. north western parts of scotland turning cooler. cooler air follows that weather front bringing a few spots of rain.
6:59 pm
that's out of the way by sunday as high pressure builds back in, cooler air pushes down from the north. so some changes, really, for sunday. we may well start off quite sunny in most places, but the cloud looks like it will tend to increase and spread out versus sunshine hanging on across western areas. and the highest temperatures are getting squeezed down towards the southwest, turning cooler across northern and eastern parts of the uk, a significant drop in temperature for the northeast of england. but high pressure is still around, so it's keeping it fine and dry. but we've got quite a few more isobars on the chart in southern parts of the uk on monday. so it's going to be a windier day, and quite a chilly wind actually coming in from off the north sea. and that east or north easterly wind could bring some cloud for a while. that will then get pushed away. and away from northern scotland looks like it should be quite a sunny day on monday. but the air is going to be cooler for england and wales, but starting to warm up in scotland and northern ireland. and with those stronger winds, even with some sunshine, it'll feel chillier. in the south, the highest temperatures are likely to be in western parts of scotland.
