the next few hours —— more extensive and is much heavier. i think it will be frustrating at wimbledon with lengthy rain delays and play completely washed out at times. if anything the rain gets heavier through the afternoon, rain falling for much of the day across the south—east of wales, the south west midlands. northern england probably the driest spot with a bit of sunshine. overnight, this developing weather system still brings rain even towards the end of the night across the east of east anglia. the rain will be happy for a time, and quite windy for east anglia and the kent coastline, a few showers in the north—west. tomorrow, the weather system clears, bringing strong winds to north europe. sunny spells and showers for us tomorrow. if you catch a shower it will blow through quite quickly, perhaps lasting ten or 15 minutes. temperatures climbing into the low 20s. full wimbledon, i

reckon today will be disappointing and frustrating with some fairly lengthy rain delays washing out to play our time. you might see the odd passing shower tomorrow which will not last long and most of the day should be dried with the weather causing no issues. another change for thursday, low pressure moves it to the west of the uk bringing rain to the west of the uk bringing rain to northern ireland. for western counties the rain could be heavy enough to bring some localised flooding, further east, drier weather. hazy sunshine but high quality in the sky. it will get warmerfor east quality in the sky. it will get warmer for east wales across the bulk of england, perhaps eastern scotland seeing those temperatures climb into the low 20s. towards the end of the week at the weekend if the weather threatens happy outbreaks of rain for northern ireland at times, southerly winds further east dragging in much warmer airfrom the continent. further east dragging in much warmer air from the continent. into friday, across a good part of england is wales and maybe eastern scotland, temperatures climb into the high 20s

for some, turning quite hot but quite un—unsettled zone of weather with plenty of showers are thunderstorms. thanks, chris. and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday with me, paul scott. here's what's coming up: day two of wimbledon started...and then stopped — the rain is causing problems on a big day for the brits. one match that will go ahead, though, features andy murray who takes on fellow brit ryan peniston under

the roof of centre court. elsewhere, bad news for england's men ahead of their must win third ashes test, as ollie pope is ruled out of the rest of the series. welcome along to the programme. we begin at wimbledon. day two has begun, but was abruptly halted because of the weather. chetan pathak is there for us. chetan, you're half sports reporter, half meteorologist! what's the current situation where you are? and man of many talents, as they call me, maybe! we have had rain. it has temporarily stopped, but the forecast is not look great.

to the right of me, played to get under way on time at i! to the right of me, played to get under way on time at 11 o'clock. we have been watching katie boulter, the british number one, as she dries to get into the second round of these championships. at the moment, one play does resume, we'll pick up a 6—5 down in the opening set. we had a special guest of honour on court 18, the princess of is, he is close to katie boulter. she has watched here previously. there has been plenty of british interest around these championships across these couple of days, including jodie burrage, who did make it through to round two yesterday. liam broady through, as well, yesterday. we just hope that the rain can stay away, but the forecast does not look good for play on these outside courts.

the main show courts do have roofs and we are getting a look at one of the favourites in carlos alcaraz. tha nkfully thankfully play to get under way on time on court number one, and the world number one, carlos alcaraz, is first up. he is taking onjeremy chardy. it has been pretty conclusive in the first sector alcaraz because my favourite. his 36—year—old opponent says he will retire after these championships. he said he said he would retire after this match, but i think he meant tournaments. carlos alcaraz is in storming form at the moment, winning the queen's club title last week. carlos alcaraz is the us open champion. he is not having to work

all that hard, in fairness. he is having a pretty much is own way. the big one is to come, second on centre court, andy murray against ryan peniston, that all british tie. ryan peniston, that all british tie. ryan peniston had a good run in eastbourne last week. it is ten years since andy murray won his last wimbledon title. he is reminding us that there are few as good as him on the surface. it should be a fascinating encounter. andy murray is very much the favourite. here are the thoughts of annabel croft. i am fascinated by _ the thoughts of annabel croft. i am fascinated by weather ryan peniston, if there _ fascinated by weather ryan peniston, if there is_ fascinated by weather ryan peniston, if there is a _ fascinated by weather ryan peniston, if there is a hierarchy there. he would — if there is a hierarchy there. he would have _ if there is a hierarchy there. he would have grown up looking up to andy _ would have grown up looking up to andy murray. ryan peniston has had some _ andy murray. ryan peniston has had some good _ andy murray. ryan peniston has had some good winds on grass. the majority— some good winds on grass. the majority of— some good winds on grass. the majority of his winds have been on

defending champion, eleanor rebecca, also plays later today. to another huge sporting event taking place in the uk this summer — the ashes. there's been a major blow for england's men this morning as they prepare for the start of thursday's third test at headingley. vice—captain ollie pope has been ruled out of the rest of the series after dislocating his shoulder last week at lords. it isa it is a big blow. he has been phenomenalfor it is a big blow. he has been phenomenal for us it is a big blow. he has been phenomenalfor us for the it is a big blow. he has been phenomenal for us for the last 18 months. he has stepped up as vice captain of this team and the more responsibility that has been given to him the more you have got out of him as a player, as a leader in the group. he will be a big miss for us. he is a hell of a player. he is a great man to have in the group, as well. then gains a great amount through having him as vice captain.

of course will be a big loss, he has been an integral part of this team and will continue to be for many years to come. and will continue to be for many years to come. before that news about ollie pope broke in the last couple of hours, the huge talking point ahead of the third test was still the controversial dismissal ofjonny bairstow in england's second innings at lords. yesterday, the british prime minister, rishi sunak, said it "broke the spirit of cricket", but now sunak�*s counterpart, anthony albanese, has tweeted contratulating both the mens and womens teams saying, "same old aussies — always winning!". his phrase appearing to be a jibe at english fans who chanted "same old aussies always cheating" after bairstow was dismissed. joe root says whilst he would have done things differently, its now time to move on. i try and put myself in that situation, that position, i would like to think i would have dealt with it very differently. i think ben spoke very well on it at the end of the game. as a team we want to play our cricket a certain way, we want to leave a certain legacy and

it has been very different how we have gone about test cricket in the last 18 months, in terms of how we pay our crickets. physically, if you like, but i also think we play our cricket in a slightly different way in that respect, as well. i think it is time for everyone to move on and let's concentrate on this game. england's women continue their series against australia tomorrow. they've been training at the oval this morning, knowing they must win their t20 match there tomorrow if they're to have any hopes of avoiding another ashes series defeat. staying with cricket, there are a couple of world cup qualifiers going on today. a really crucial one in bulawayo, where scotland are taking on zimbabwe in what could be a winner—takes—all encounter in the super sixes. only one more team will go through, along with sri lanka to the world cup in india in october. scotland batted first and set a target of 235 — michael leask top scoring with 48. in reply, the scottish

bowlers started well, with two early wickets for chris sole. zimbabwe are currently 107—5. in harare, ireland are playing nepal. both have had a poor qualifying tournament so this will decide seventh place. to rugby union where england's danny care says he has unfinished business with the world cup and is "giving it everything" to cap his "rollercoaster" international career at the tournament in france. the 36—year—old has been named in steve borthwick�*s england training group as one of only three scrum—halves. after missing out in 2019, care says it would be a "dream" to make the squad. for me, any time an england coach wants you to come in and give it a crack, the answer is always yes. that's why i have stayed in england

for 18 years as a player, i have always wanted to play for my country, it means an awful lot to me. ifeel like in world cups it hasn't really been what i wanted it to be, so i would give anything to try to get in that 33 going to france. the dream is the dream. to do what the 2003 is dead and get that trophy. do what the 2003 is dead and get that many-— that trophy. with a four michael out, then what _ that trophy. with a four michael out, then what happened - that trophy. with a four michael out, then what happened in - out, then what happened in australia, then output the best part of the year, now back in. it a roller-coaster. _ of the year, now back in. it a. roller—coaster. rugby is an absolute roller—coaster. rugby is an absolute roller—coaster. i wouldn't swap any of it. i think roller—coaster. i wouldn't swap any of it. ithink it roller—coaster. i wouldn't swap any of it. i think it has made me the person and player i am today. i feel like a better person for having ups and downs. nothing is ever plain sailing, especially with me. i worked hard in the off—season, lost a few kilos, lost a bit of body fat, got shot. i feel as good as i have

felt in years. obviously, given that chance of someone saying i think you can help us here, come and show us, then i am in. can help us here, come and show us, then i am in. so, to recap, rain has been a factor in wimbledon, but play is under way at centre court on court number one. but play is under way at centre court on court number one. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team, from me and the rest of the team, at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. some more news for you now. hello. some more news for you now. some more news for you now. some more news for you now. senior firefighters have issued senior firefighters have issued a safety warning about electric a safety warning about electric bikes after a woman and her two bikes after a woman and her two young children were killed young children were killed inside theirflat. inside theirflat. officials said a charging e—bike officials said a charging e—bike was the most likely cause was the most likely cause of the blaze in cambridge of the blaze in cambridge and they urged other owners and they urged other owners to be aware of the risks. to be aware of the risks. simonjones reports. simonjones reports.
