away with wickets. they got bairstow and stokes in the afternoon session and it was over to 0llie robinson really with the tail to take england up to a lead of 280. australia started their second innings really well. warner and khawaja looked in good nick, but robinson got involved again. he got warner caught behind and then it was over to stuart broad, who loves these moments so much. he got marnus labuschagne and then steve smith, two really dangerous batsmen for the aussie. so it's all set up for the final day, but the weather might have a say. how much play is it going to allow us and in what conditions? we hope everything is set up for an amazing finish. for us as a team to pick up those three batters warner, maness and smith this evening. we're delighted. obviously, the aussies played really well and hit some boundaries but three, three huge batters to have back in back in the back in the pavilion so you know turn up tomorrow. not sure what we're expecting. i don't think we're getting as blue sky tomorrow. so if we get a little bit of cloud, that'll that will give the england bowlers

a bit of a smile and come back and try and hunt seven wickets for an ashes win. what of this atmosphere? how hard is it as a batter to come out against this edgbaston crowd fired as they are in this sort of situation? you know, we've played this game for a long time now. and, you know, i came out to the boundary here just to moan a little bit. you know, ifeel that you don't really hear it when you're out there, like, you know, the noise is there. but from our perspective, you're like your own bubble. you know, it's bat versus ball. and and that contest, hey, it's it's something that we've learnt to zone out in a way, but it's a great atmosphere for, especially for the spectators that are here. competition is in full swing at the special olympics world summer games in berlin. there are 7000 competitors from 190 nations, including 82 from great britain. all of them have intellectual disabilities. 43 gold medals have already been decided, but the broader aim is to demonstrate the power of inclusion. joe wilson reports. sport fills berlin in basketball alone

wonderful stuff. now finally to tennis and fifth seed cameron. norrie is through to the second round of the queen's club championship in london. the british number one reached the final at queen's two years ago and he came through in straight sets against miyama, simonovic of serbia, norrie winning 6—4,7—6 to seal his place in the last 16. and all the full results of the tennis is on the bbc sport website. that's it for me and the rest of the team. well see you again soon. bye bye. hello. once again, some of you, thundery downpours on the way for tuesday. not a wash—out of a day, there will be some brighter moments too, but especially for england and wales, that thundery rain comes from what was some of these clouds of the bay of biscay on monday edging their way northwards. and by the end of the night,

into the start of the day, that rain will have set in across parts of wales and southern england. another humid start here in particular, tiny bit fresher further north, but temperatures in double figures. isolated shower for much of scotland, northern ireland, northern england. start the day dry with some sunshine, but spells of heavy, thundery rain work their way northwards and eastwards across much of england and wales. the worst of the overnight rain clearing the south west quite quickly, but some intense downpours in amonst that. but further east, east anglia, southeast, rainfall amounts will vary quite widely, some say not much at all. that heavy, thundery rain moves across northern england during the morning and early afternoon, affecting some eastern fringes of scotland as well. west of scotland, northern ireland, another day of sunny spells, but also some, well, scattered, heavy and thundery showers. and across england and wales, while skies will brighten into the afternoon, some slow moving thunderstorms possible here, not too many, but some of those could be close to edgbaston on what will be another reasonably warm day. the rain to the far east of scotland to finish the day clears northwards as we go into wednesday night. most will then have a dry night, a few isolated showers out into the far northwest,

but temperatures 11—14 celsius with a little less humidity out there. it should feel a touch more comfortable for some of you for sleeping. but there is a change for wednesday in that whilst we've also got low pressure close by to the north, which will be prone to bringing showers northern half the country, the winds will be westerly. so showers will develop, but they'll move through across the skies quite quickly. so it'll be a chopping and changing day for scotland, northern ireland and northern england, some of the showers heavy and thundery. further south, though, fewer showers and more of you will be dry. and with some longer sunny spells, temperatures should lift a little bit across the south, up to 25—26 celsius. for the end of the week, brief ridge of high pressure tries to push its way into southern eastern areas. weather fronts always close by to the west, so it does look like we will still see some rain at times, especially across the western half of the country. but in the sunnier moments, it's going to turn increasingly humid. 29 celius possible this weekend in the london area, but not completely without the rain. and with lots of events going on through this week and weekend, check the latest details for where you're heading on the bbc weather app. take care.
