6:39 pm
to be a little more fractious than the first. it had all been very cordial before edgbaston, and even during the opening test there was a lot of communal back—slapping. but then, 0llie robinson said something after getting usman khawaja out, and then some more things afterwards when asked about it — one of which he's doubled down on, saying he was surprised by australia's unwillingness "to go toe—to—toe with us". and if it wasn't for england's attacking style, the aussies "wouldn't have even had a chance to win." that, plus his sledging of khawaja, has prompted a couple of former australian players to weigh in. ricky ponting said... robinson took five wickets in the match. but that didn't impress matthew hayden, calling him a... that's about 77 miles per hour.
6:40 pm
not sure about the phraseology, but still, some might say that's a bit more like it. meanwhile, england have added teenage leg spinner rehan ahmed to their squad for the match at lord's next week. he's coverfor moeen ali, who injured his finger in the first test. if picked the 18—year—old would become the youngest england player to play in a men's ashes series. scotland have won two out of two in qualifying for the men's world cup, beating the uae by 111 runs in bulawayo today. captain richie berrington's 127 was the foundation for their innings of 282 for eight in 50 overs. the second scotland centurion in as many matches. the uae were never really in the chase, with safyaan sharif taking four wickets, including the final two in the space of three balls. scotland are joint top of their group, looking good for a place in the tournament's super six stage. brendan rodgers says he understands why some celtic fans felt angry at him leaving the club
6:41 pm
for leicester four years ago, but wants to change their opinion by bringing more success to celtic park. he's returned to glasgow for a second spell, having agreed a three—year deal to replace ange postecoglou — with his departure in 2019, coming just as the team were going for a treble treble, at the forefront of many supporters' minds. it's natural when i left, that it was a sad moment. and i certainly don't regret it — but what i do regret is the hurt that it caused people. and that's the very reason i'm sat here today. as a celtic supporter, i understood what it meant, and probably even more so when i left. so that was my regret, that i hurt people who were celtic supporters. and it was a big part of coming back. the relationship of guilt here with the players, with the supporters —— the relationships
6:42 pm
i've built here. and despite what i've built here. and despite what i've probably read at times and what i hear, life is about relationships, and i wouldn't be sat here today if i didn't have the relationship of the guys around the table and the other members of the board. itjust wouldn't happen. so i'm clearly ambitious, but i'm ambitious for celtic to be the best that we can be. the football supporters federation have criticised the situation faced by some manchester city fans at the champions league final, after the uefa president admitted "not everything was perfect" for them in istanbul. the reported issues included with the transport to the attaturk stadium, with fans having to walk extended distances along busy roads, and then being left without water inside the stadium. uefa previously apologised after problems faced by liverpool supporters before last year's final in paris. and alexander ceferin says they're working to "improve what they can improve". what happened in instead bull is
6:43 pm
definitely unacceptable. we've had many complaints from manchester city fc fans, and we definitely encourage them to report them through the proper channels —— what happened in istanbul. but this is the second final in a row hosted by uefa that there have been major problems, and it is simply unacceptable. so we will certainly be looking for some strong action to ensure that this doesn't repeat itself next year, or indeedin doesn't repeat itself next year, or indeed in any future years will stop let's head there and speak our correspondent ian carter. just looking at things on the leaderboard, it has not been a low—scoring day so far? know, very damp conditions which means the playing here isjuicy. lee—anne pace following over the last few holes but smiling all the

to time throughout the day as well. and there's more rain to come through the night. so this has been the story, then. we've seen that cloud and rain easing away, becoming light and patch, but there's some more significant rain which will gradually drift its way across scotland during the early hours of saturday morning. with a south—westerly flow driving in quite a lot of low cloud, it's going to be misty and drizzly at times along those west—facing coasts, but it will be warm — temperatures sitting at around 15 or 16 degrees. so a mild and increasingly humid start to the weekend. that cloud will tend to lingerfor a time, particularly on west coasts, and we could see a few scattered showers. but eventually the sunshine's strong, it'll punch holes through the cloud. and with that, temperatures will start to respond as we go through the day. so we're expecting highs of around 29, possibly 30 degrees by the middle of saturday afternoon. a warmer day for all of us. now, as we move through saturday night, however, those temperatures are not going to fall away at all. we lose the russet tones, are agreed by the big banks.

but nevertheless, temperatures are still likely to sit into the mid to high teens potentially first thing on sunday morning, so a pretty uncomfortable night for getting a good night's sleep. a humid start to sunday morning, and with high pressure drifting east, we tap into that humidity from the near continent. but at the same time, with a weather front pushing in from the atlantic, where the two are likely to meet, we could start to see some sharp, thundery downpours developing on sunday. so we need to keep a close eye on that. not everyone will see them, but some of them really could be quite heavy, torrential rain. but at the same time, we still got that heat and humidity. again, temperatures potentially peaking at around 30 celsius. now, as we move out of sunday into the early half of next week, as that frontal system eases away, it's going to introduce fresher conditions and more frontal systems pushing in from the west. so with this westerly feed of air, it will be cooler at times, a little fresher anyway. showers or longer
