at the oval. their opening batter david warner has been having his say on england's new brand of attacking cricket and whether it will work against the aussies? i like the commitment. they keep talking about it, they keep acting on it and doing it. i think the only test comes when you probably get bowled out for 200, but you will have those days as well when you play like that. it will be good to see, if you lose the first two tests and you don't bat well batting that way, do they change or not? i think that's the only question. but from our point of view we will not be doing anything different, that's for sure. . , , , ._ sure. the ashes gets under way next week. the nba finals are level at 1—1 after miami heat beat denver nuggets. the home side continued their good play from game one — nikola jokic was in superb form

scoring 41 points. but it wasn't enough as the heat surged in the final quarter — bam adebayo helping them the to a 111—108 win. game three of the best—of—seven series is on wednesday in miami. we caught ourselves how the head coach feels during the fourth quarter. our guys love to compete and put themselves out there in those moments of truth. fortunately we were able to make a lot of big defensive plays down the stretch and we got a lot of contributions which you are going to need against a team like this. viktor hovland won the memorial tournament on the pga tour but he needed a play—off to do it. shot of the day undoubtedly went tojon rahm who holed out for eagle from 159 yards out — the masters champion would finish the day well back in the field though. hovland and usa's denny mcarthy couldn't be separated after 72 holes until the norweigian made this par putt on the first extra to take victory. it's hovland's fourth win on the pga tour. women's golf has a new star — american rose zhang won

and that's all the sport for now. you are watching bbc news. train transport has resumed on the section of india's rail network that was the scene of friday's devastating crash. more than 50 hours on, goods trains are able to move in both directions on tracks in odisha state after the removal of carriages badly damaged in the three—way collision. dozens of the nearly 300 victims are yet to be identified. archana shukla has been at the scene of the crash. most of the family members of the affected passengers are only coming in since yesterday, and many of them are coming in today, because the railway network was still not up and running until last night. and reaching the train wreck site to meet their family members was becoming a big ordealforfamily members, and that has also been one
11:52 am
of the reasons why it is taking much longerfor the bodies to be claimed by family members, because they have not yet reached, many of them have not yet reached the site. it is sweltering heat here in balasore. it's a coastal town, it's sultry. and that's one reason why the administration decided early yesterday to move the dead bodies and casualties from balasore, which has limited resources to manage the dead, to a bigger town, the capital city five hours from here. and that has also added to the ordeal. archa na shukla there. when prince harry takes the stand at the british high court this week he will be the first royal to do so in more than 100 years. he is suing the mirror group for breaches of his privacy, accusations the group denies. we can now speak to paul wright a professor of media law at
11:53 am
the university of leeds, who is also part of the hacked off campaign. thank you forjoining us. i'm interested from a legal standpoint, how high is the bar that needs to be reached in cases like this for prince harry to win in this situation?— prince harry to win in this situation? , , , . ., situation? this is very much a case that depends _ situation? this is very much a case that depends on _ situation? this is very much a case that depends on its _ situation? this is very much a case that depends on its evidence - situation? this is very much a case that depends on its evidence and l situation? this is very much a case l that depends on its evidence and the way the evidence is treated by the court if, and it will fail if prince harry can't substantiate the claims he is making. but if he can substantiate the claims and demonstrate there was phone hacking that he is alleging, then his case is made for him. so the pressure is really on the defendants in the case to demonstrate either that they were not involved in phone hacking or on a technical point, that regardless of whether they were, prince harry is out of time to bring his claim.
11:54 am
this is an unusual case in as much as there is a member of the royal family, a senior royal in court for the first time in more than 100 years. what should the public expect to happen in the next couple of days, what can we expect to hear and what will be the lines of questioning prince harry might be under? it’s questioning prince harry might be under? �*, ., ., , , . under? it's important for the public to think about _ under? it's important for the public to think about the _ under? it's important for the public to think about the reasons - under? it's important for the public to think about the reasons why - to think about the reasons why prince harry has instigated this action against the mirror group and others. and what it says about newspapers more generally. this involves a series of allegations that go back to 1996. if prince harry is right, if he can demonstrate the claims he is making, then these are very serious allegations against newspapers who, since 2011, and the levenson inquiry into press ethics and standards,
11:55 am
have told us consistently as a newspaper industry that they were not involved in phone hacking. say it was the actions of a rogue reporter, so this has very serious ramifications about the way the press are held to account themselves. we have to remember what a free press is about, it's about holding the powerful to account. the questions raised by a case like this, what happens if the press themselves are engaged in an industry scale level of breaches of the law, and who will hold them to account? that's why a claim such as this is so important. if this evidence demonstrates that newspapers are not upholding the law themselves then we need cases like this to bring it to public
