we have lost the fresher as well and we have lost the humidity, 15 to 18 or 19 celsius. as we head into friday, another clutch of weather fronts push in from the north—west. starts off fine on friday, plenty of sunshine in central and eastern areas of the cloud builds in the north and the west and the weather front sleeping with strengthening winds. the heavy rain will be across scotland and northern ireland and wales will see patchy and lighter rain. central and south—eastern areas will be dry and cloudy. those temperatures, highs of 20 to 22 degrees. a bit cooler further north. low pressure system of the north of the country in the north of scotland but for much of the country it looks like it will be fine. a lot of sunshine with a few showers here and there. it will be of fresher as well. see you later. thanks stav. and that's bbc news at six , you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website —, from the six team it's goodbye.

hello, and welcome to sportsday — i'm jane dougall. astonishing scenes at lords — bairstow�*s called into action to bodily remove a protestor after a serious breach of security. when plated start, steve smith racked up the runs, but a late fight back for england. away from the cricket, megan rapinoe's in raptures over this summer's world cup — the us superstar says it's going to be a game—changer for women's football. also coming up on sportsday... dart, burrage and broady all out in straight sets — it's been a bad day for the brits at eastbourne. and, we hearfrom para rower it fuller on overcoming the difficulties of competing, whilst coping with a serious blood condition. as long as i'm having fun and

enjoying this part that's given me so much over the last few years, then i'm happy. welcome to the programme. once again england and australia have gone head to head in the second test. but the opening day against a backdrop of yesterday's damning report by the independent commission for equity in cricket, which found racism, sexism, classism and elitism to be "widespread" in english cricket. we'll talk to our correspondent joe wilson about that in a moment. but let's start with an incident afterjust one over, two "just stop 0il" protesters managed to get onto the field and interrupted play, spreading some orange powder onto the square, but not the actual wicket. it prompted wicketkeeper

jonny bairstow to spring into action, using his wicket keeping skills to grab one of them and carry him off in some extraordinary scenes. three people have been arrested for aggravated trespassing and taken into police custody. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilson is there for us. joe, what an astonishing interuption, you were there, how shocking was it? i suppose we learned to expect the unexpected and test match cricket and sports in general it's what draws us back year in and year out. these and sports in general it's what draws us back year in and year out. these protesters and sports in general it's what draws us back year in and year out. these protesters have and sports in general it's what draws us back year in and year out. these protesters have become and sports in general it's what draws us back year in and year out. these protesters have become part and sports in general it's what draws us back year in and year out. these protesters have become part of the sporting landscape, but, of course, it was alarming, it was unusual and particularly the way that it was johnny unusual and particularly the way that it wasjohnny baird stowe who ended up dealing with it, i mean, thatis ended up dealing with it, i mean, that is an image that i think we'll stay with cricket for the rest of his life. lots of issues that came out of it, not least that there was protesters did get so close to the

middle, not least that it was jonny bairstow who laid the dispersal of them. that's been widespread condemnation, as he would perhaps expect from the mcc in particular and a manager venue, expect from the mcc in particular and a managervenue, but expect from the mcc in particular and a manager venue, but cricket is also aware that as an outdoor game, it is inextricably linked to climate. we've had forecasts and projections that in just a few decades to come, playing the ashes and its current form in australia with rising temperatures will become impossible as we know it. so that is the broader landscape in the broader background. it can seem here at a lloyd's that you are just isolated from the rest of the world, and of course, we are not. to the action, england won the toss, but they didn't have a good day. they did rally. yeah, it is one of those twist _ they did rally. yeah, it is one of those twist and _ they did rally. yeah, it is one of those twist and turn _ they did rally. yeah, it is one of those twist and turn type - they did rally. yeah, it is one of those twist and turn type of - they did rally. yeah, it is one of| those twist and turn type of days for england. they in mind, they put australia into that today. we had

gloomy overcast conditions, back to climate in a different way, which meeting then think they can have a really good day as a bowling team. to be frank, they didn't. david warner for example opening the padding under some real scrutiny that they dropped him on 20. 0llie pope dropped the catch and injured his shoulder. england watched david warner unleashed his full array of shots to get to 66 will stop now, the man who took david warner's wicket is josh the man who took david warner's wicket isjosh tung. bear in mind that he has been brought into the team here and was a perhaps a surprise selection. the delivery he got to get rid of david warner, very similar to one that got rid of a little earlier in the innings. perhaps little earlier in the innings. perhaszosh as the little earlier in the innings. perhaps josh as the fastest bowler was also the most effective here today. then we saw partnership between steve smith of 102, which really laid the platform, the foundation for a very strong first innings for australia. bear in mind, and the first test, neither smith or the other did very much at all,

almost inevitable that they would succeed today. but in the last half hour, it's beenjoe root to strike back for england. remember, no specialist bowler on the england team, two wickets forjoe root getting rid of travis head and getting rid of travis head and getting rid of cameron green as taking australian out to a total pass 320, but five wickets in england have taken him today. there's been a bit of a background to this, as we mentioned. yesterday's very critical reports. what has been a reaction from some of the members?— of the members? well, i think it's sharened of the members? well, i think it's sharpened the _ of the members? well, i think it's sharpened the context _ of the members? well, i think it's sharpened the context of - of the members? well, i think it's sharpened the context of these i sharpened the context of these issues. i know that the mcc, but their charitable foundations have done a lot of work and trying to include the inclusion and accessibility of cricket. i know that stephen fry, head of mcc for the past year, it is very concerned about diluting the elitist image of the mcc, let's put it that way. i spoke to him about thatjust a few weeks ago. but if the question is does the england team here reflect the ethnic makeup of britain? does it reflect the kind of schools that

most people go to in england? well, the answer is absolutely not. and i would dare say that the same goes for a lot of the spectators here who are paying close to £200 per ticket sometimes. come here for the hundred and it is a different atmosphere. it's a lot more accessible, it's a lot cheaper, and i'm sure that will be part of the ucb�*s argument. i remember the lunch of the chance to shine charity, dealing with a lot of these raising issues, that was in these raising issues, that was in the ashes summer of 2005. these issues are very important, they are not new. , ., . ~' issues are very important, they are not new. , ., ., ~ , issues are very important, they are not new. , ., . ~' ,, , . australia are 330 a5. the women's ashes will resume this weekend with the first of the t20's in the multi format series. bowler issy wong has been recalled to england's squad, but there is no place for batter tammy beaumont, who scored 208 in england's test defeat earlier this week, but has not played a t20 for more than a year. wong was left out of england's t20 world cup squad earlier this year and was not picked for the test 11, but she's been

recalled for the first t20 at edgbaston on saturday, which is her home ground. australia lead the series 4—0 which means england must win five of the remaining six games to regain the ashes from australia. i'll be really special, fortunately enough to play here last summer, and it's one of those most special moments in england shirt, so to have an opportunity to walk out here, i use to come and watch the men's here when i was little. they were always pretty exciting occasions as a fan, so to be on the other side of it would be really specialfor so to be on the other side of it would be really special for me and my family, i think. let's switch to football now and us women's soccer star megan rapinoe says this summers world cup will be game changing for the sport. back in 2019 at the last world cup, the usa were in dispute with their federation over equal pay for the american men and and women's teams — they eventually agreed to resolve it last year. rapinoe is again part of the squad as they attempt to win the trophy for a record third time in a row and feels the progress that's been

made is ground—breaking. the sort of acceptable cognitive dissonance and just denial of what we actually are and i think those days are ready much long gone and that would be quite a tough and embarrassing position to still keep and it feels like this is a paradigms shift, we've always taken the opportunity to look at who we are, but it's every opportunity to blow the lid off just every opportunity to blow the lid offjust in terms of fanfare and media and sponsorships and the larger business around this sport. it feels like this is a paradigm shift or a a moment we will look back too, and say nothing was ever the same after this world cup. i think everybody is thankfully pushing on the right direction and pushing in the same direction now and the sky is the limit from here. well, not all countries are at the same stage as america.

despite barcelona — who are heavily populated with spanish players — winning the champions league, some of those players may not be at the world cup because of concerns over national head coachjorge vilda. well, england defender lucy bronze, who plays for barcelona, says she's spoken to her club team mates and has described it as sad, but says that is where women's football is right now. earlier i spoke to our sports news correspondent katie gornall and began by asking her to explain the background of the dispute. there is a group of players in the spanish national women's team known as the 15. last year, they effectively went on strike saying that their mental and physical health were not being looked after by the current set up. there were reports of concerns over training, over the training ground and methods and the build—up to match as will stop now, the spanish fa's response

to this was to side with the manager. they released a statement to that effect and effectively replace the striking players with younger players. now, recently, the 12 of the 15 have made themselves available again for a selection, reportedly after having discussions with the spanish fa. not all of those players. and when spain's provisional world cup squad was announced, there were some notable absentees, including four barcelona players friends and team—mates of lucy burns, including some of the best players in the world, like patrick yaro, players that you would always want to have on your team, they were not selected and a provisional squad commit was a situation, that i wanted to ask lucy about is what she had to say. the? about is what she had to say. they are missing _ about is what she had to say. they are missing out _ about is what she had to say. they are missing out on _ about is what she had to say. they are missing out on a _ about is what she had to say. they are missing out on a huge moment and any footballers career to make a difference. unfortunately, this is women's — difference. unfortunately, this is women's football still. as many teams — women's football still. as many teams around the world to face a lot

of problems who are fighting a fight — of problems who are fighting a fight i— of problems who are fighting a fight. ithink of problems who are fighting a fight. i think the spanish girls have — fight. i think the spanish girls have probably got more headlines because _ have probably got more headlines because its world—class players we are talking — because its world—class players we are talking about, but there are many— are talking about, but there are many teams around the world, i mean, jamaica _ many teams around the world, i mean, jamaica is— many teams around the world, i mean, jamaica is another great example, there _ jamaica is another great example, there are — jamaica is another great example, there are many teams who are fighting — there are many teams who are fighting to promote their teams hetter— fighting to promote their teams better and get them on a level where they deserve to be. as better and get them on a level where they deserve to be.— they deserve to be. as lucy said there, they deserve to be. as lucy said there. there _ they deserve to be. as lucy said there, there are _ they deserve to be. as lucy said there, there are other _ they deserve to be. as lucy said there, there are other teams . they deserve to be. as lucy said there, there are other teams in | there, there are other teams in dispute with federations to, what more can you tell us about them? jamaica, for example, they have openly criticised their federations, leading players like bonnie sure of manchester city that preparations, virtually everything from nutrition, training facilities, compensation is subpar in thejamaican training facilities, compensation is subpar in the jamaican national team. they've said they've actually missed friendly�*s due to extreme disorganisation. the jamaican football association has admitted that things are not perfect. they are working to resolve some issues, but they have also said that they are struggling to fund this women's world cup campaign and money is also

an issue in canada as well. earlier in the year, they threatened to go on strike in a row over equal pay. now, there's been some changes behind the scenes and discussions are ongoing, but all is still not well in the camp. it all feeds into this idea that there are still distractions for a number of teams at this women's world cup that may stop then from performing their best on the world stage. no tournament for the men's game this summer, but there's plenty of action in the transfer window. ben croucherjoins us now to talk us through the rumour and speculation. arsenal seem relentless in their pursuit of declan rice, what stage is it at? so the fact that we've got so far, arsenal have now submitted a third bed for declan rice. it's worth £100 million, plus 5 million in add—ons. so this will be a premier league record fee for a british player. it does meet west ham's evaluation, the key will not be in the structure of the payments. clubsjust don't key will not be in the structure of the payments. clubs just don't hand over the money in one big lump sum.

it structured commit spread out over a number of years. we understand that west ham still aren't happy with that structure at the minute, but rice is still expected to leave. so any link to manchester city appears to be gone. they submitted a bid yesterday that was rejected for £90 million. they are now out of the way. so a clear route for arsenal to sign him. as for arrest him looking to replace him, crystal city's alex got to potentially rumoured to be interested. follow him's player think it's going to be a bit too expensive for west tam's stop at that seems to always be speculation about harry kane leaving tottenham, but actually there might be something a bit more concrete right now. reports from the german media, buy in munich, they are very much interested in harry kane and submitted a £70 million bend for the england striker yesterday. that, spray say, though that didn't happen, but we understand that by in munich are going to come back with an improved bed now that harry kane

is at the man of the peak of his power. that equals his best ever return. but he is going into the final year of his contract with tottenham hotspur, so sparrows have a choice. they have the cash in now or risk potentially letting him go on for you next summer. potentially leavin: on for you next summer. potentially leaving tottenham _ on for you next summer. potentially leaving tottenham and _ on for you next summer. potentially leaving tottenham and talk- on for you next summer. potentially leaving tottenham and talk of- leaving tottenham and talk of another whenjoining. leaving tottenham and talk of another when joining. relegated from the premier league last season from a £40 million deal. he has been having or should have had a medical at tottenham hotspur on wednesday. he was the target of newcastle before they set their sights on the line. it will be sparrows summer signing after made permanent and the goalkeeper from and believe. madison is going one way, harry banks is going another. he is going to leicester because a £10 million dealfor the england midfielder very very close. goalkeeping as well. chelsea has joined the saudi side and the

manchester united goalkeeper could be a free agent come the weekend. he has been in a long wrangled contract talks with manchester united. in the last couple of hours, he has treated a yon emoji. last couple of hours, he has treated a yon emoji-_ a yon emo'i. that's not how we all feel. a yon emoji. that's not how we all feel- thank _ a yon emoji. that's not how we all feel. thank you _ a yon emoji. that's not how we all feel. thank you so _ a yon emoji. that's not how we all feel. thank you so much - a yon emoji. that's not how we all feel. thank you so much for- a yon emoji. that's not how we all feel. thank you so much for the i feel. thank you so much for the update. to tennis now and the grass court build up to wimbledown continues, but it was a disappointing day at eastbourne for the brits. world number seven coco gauff thrashed britain'sjodie burrage injust under an hour to reach the quarterfinals while — in a closer tussle — harriet dart lost to latvia's jelena 0stapenko. adam cottier was watching. blustery conditions on the south coast and a big test forjody berridge against the american teenager, coco goff, ranked 121 places above her. berridge initially looked full of confidence, keen to provide a stern test for the world number seven having reached her first bdt final in nottingham this month. at they proved more than a

map showing the kind of ruthlessness that will put her in good step at wimbledon next week. breaking twice in the first sent to take it 6—1. the bright moments for bridge continue to ask questions, but they were all too fleeting in the british number two would be a wild card entry in friday's wimbledon drive. a late rally after losing ten games in a row so her break, as she served for the match, highlight for the home support in eastbourne, hoping to see bridge climb into the world's top 100 for the first time. it wasn't to be and at the edge of 19, may be ready to make her mark not only at eastbourne, but also at the club next week. i only at eastbourne, but also at the club next week.— club next week. i en'oy it a lot, of nostalgia. — club next week. i enjoy it a lot, of nostalgia, obviously. _ club next week. i enjoy it a lot, of nostalgia, obviously. the - club next week. i enjoy it a lot, of nostalgia, obviously. the uk - club next week. i enjoy it a lot, of nostalgia, obviously. the uk hasl nostalgia, obviously. the uk has given me a lot of support since the start of my career, so i'm happy to be here in eastbourne and i'm really excited to play in london next week. harriet dart will also be a wimbledon wild card entry, the 2021

champion here stood in the way of the british number four champion here stood in the way of the british numberfour bed champion here stood in the way of the british number four bed to the british numberfour bed to reach the british numberfour bed to reach the finals. it was to prove a tale of missed opportunities for them, failing to take a break point chance with the first set level at two games all. that 2017 french open champion took the first set after a single break. there is more break points opportunities coming and going in a second, the world number 17 went on to win 6—3— 6—4. the british challenge on the dry before the quarterfinals as the focus turns to wimbledon. the british men's challenge at eastbourne is also over after liam broady fell after a straight sets defeat against sweden's mikael ymer. ymer raced through the first set, holding to love in his final service game to take it 6—2. his dominance continuied

in the second, ending the match with back—to—back aces to reach his first ever grass court quarterfinal. looks like american gymnast simone biles will return to the spread after nearly two years out. she's entered an event in indianapolis. the part—time 0lympic entered an event in indianapolis. the part—time olympic gold medallist took a mental health break after struggling at the tokyo games, where she pulled out of one discipline needed event. however, she has put her name down for the us classic, a low—profile competition in august and it's also a qualifying event for the national championships. now, imagine having a condition where the body takes longer to stop bleeding, and then having to compete at an elite level. it's estimated that around one in every 2,000 people in the uk have haemophilia, a condition which affects the blood's ability to clot. british para rower ed fuller, a world and european champion is one such person. he's been speaking to our reporter rachael latham about what it's like to train and compete

with the condition. the british pa ralympic the british paralympic team is made up the british paralympic team is made up of over 200 athletes which have a wide range of disabilities. d fuller is believed to be the on the athlete believed to be competing at the top sports, haemophilia, and inherited bleeding disorder. he found out it just two years old on a family holiday. i just two years old on a family holida . . , just two years old on a family holida . .,, ~ just two years old on a family holida . ., , ,, ., holiday. i was locking the wrong -- walkin: holiday. i was locking the wrong -- walking along _ holiday. i was locking the wrong -- walking along and _ holiday. i was locking the wrong -- walking along and i _ holiday. i was locking the wrong -- walking along and i fell— holiday. i was locking the wrong -- walking along and i fell off - holiday. i was locking the wrong -- walking along and i fell off and - holiday. i was locking the wrong -- walking along and i fell off and i i walking along and i fell off and i hit my head really hard and i cut my ear come and it basically wouldn't stop bleeding, so they stitched and glued it and couldn't understand why it wouldn't stop, they thought maybe there is some sort of bleeding disorder here, i rememberfrom a young age at school, sport is when it really set me apart, so when i was nine i had joint bleeds into my ankles, which put me in a wheelchair. i couldn't run around on

but the cricket itself was disappointing for england with only three wickets taken, with steve smith, david warner, and travis head getting half centuries. england rallied towards the end and at stumps, australia where 339 45. that's all from sportsday. thanks very much for watching. goodbye. hello there. there has been a lot of cloud around today, cloudy skies at lord's for the test match. some parts of england, though, have seen some sunshine coming through. for example, here in hampshire, it's been very muggy and very warm across many parts of england. scotland and northern ireland will be turning cooler and fresher with some sunshine around, mind you. that sunshine followed the rain that we started the day with. and this band of rain has been quite heavy as it's pushed across scotland, had a few thunderstorms in northern england.

the rain is becoming more fragmented. it's going to squeeze down through the midlands, head to the southeast of england and across east anglia later, and still a few heavy bursts of rain in there as well. clearer skies will continue to follow from the west. a few more showers along the west coast of scotland, but a chillier night for scotland and northern ireland. single figure temperatures here, much warmer and still quite humid across east anglia and the southeast because we've still got rain around first thing tomorrow on that weather front there. it does shuffle away, and then we'll introduce this westerly breeze that will bring cooler and fresher air for all of us tomorrow. but that rain will hang around into the morning across east anglia and the southeast, then it will clear away, and then it'll be sunny spells, a few showers for a while in northern ireland, pushing eastwards across scotland and the odd shower likely across england and wales, although many places here will probably be dry in the afternoon. temperature—wise not too impressive, despite the sunshine, it is cooler air. so 18—19 celsius quite widely, a bit below par, really, for this time of the year. weather�*s coming in from the atlantic, keeping this unsettled theme going. more weatherfronts bringing cloud

and rain into friday, wrapped around that area of low pressure, that's going to hang around through the weekend. we'll look at that in a moment, but for the eastern areas of the uk, friday starts dry and bright with some sunshine. it does cloud over, though, from the west. a little bit of light rain or drizzle mainly over western hills and coast. the more persistent rain comes into scotland and northern ireland as the wind picks up, and look at the temperatures, only 16 celsius in glasgow, 21 celsius perhaps in london. that area of low pressure, i mentioned it, it's going to hang around to the north of scotland, and around that we're going to find some stronger winds, particularly for northern parts of the uk, touching gale force maybe in northern scotland. and that's where we're going to see most of the rain saturday and into sunday. some showers and a bit of sunshine some showers and a bit of sunshine for scotland and northern ireland, for scotland and northern ireland, one or two showers for northern one or two showers for northern england. england. but further south, it should be dry. but further south, it should be dry.
