he sings david sillito, bbc news, glyndebourne. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. yes, i don't think the weather will hit too many high notes this weekend! actually, it is not a very summer —like weekend at all. today, there is a little bit of brightness are wrong, but also a fair amount of cloud and some showers. through the weekend, it is cool, rather windy at times, and there will be some outbreaks of rain. how much rain? this is the rain we expect to accumulate through the weekend. the wettest condition is likely to be across parts of northern england, into wales. some places easily seeing more than 50 millimetres of rain. the reason? it is all this cloud that is now looming on the atlantic. whether systems heading our way. atlantic. whether systems heading ourway. it atlantic. whether systems heading our way. it is already clouding over
1:31 pm
across northern ireland with heavy and persistent rain here through this afternoon. elsewhere, a little bit of sunshine, but generally a fair amount bit of sunshine, but generally a fairamount of bit of sunshine, but generally a fair amount of cloud, the odd hefty shower, and these temperatures, 15-21 shower, and these temperatures, 15—21 degrees, below average for this point injuly. this evening until tonight, this point injuly. this evening untiltonight, rain this point injuly. this evening until tonight, rain will be on the move, pushing eastwards into southern scotland, northern england, wales, perhaps the south—west of england. wind is starting to pick up around some western coast as well. northern scotland hangs under some clear skies, and here, actually, quite a chilly night, maybe 3—4 in places, but it is northern scotland, and we will have the best of the weather tomorrow. elsewhere, frontal systems working in from the west, bringing outbreaks of rain, and quite a lot of rain for some, northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england, wales, looking very wet indeed for a good part of the day. the middle and seeing rain as well, some for the south of england, and it will be quite windy around the coast, gusts of around 40-50 around the coast, gusts of around 40—50 mph. all the while, northern scotland seeing sunshine and just
1:32 pm
the odd shower. if you are stuck under a cloud, temperatures may get no higher than 14—15, and it really is not great news for the cricket, because i think rain will certainly interrupt the play, but potentially it will rain for a good part of the day at old trafford, and also for the gulf. a lot of rain in the forecast as well. as we move through saturday night, not a very summery weather chart at all. this area of low pressure pushing eastwards, and in what could be more bad news for the cricket, we have this band of cloud and rain that could well hang around across parts of northern england for a good part of sunday. either side of that, sunny spells, some heavy showers, and those temperatures are maybe a little bit warmer, but still only 16—22. what about next week? really, more of the same. there will be more rain at times, some drier interludes, and still a bit of brightness around, but temperatures if anything a bit below par for this time of year.

1:34 pm
welcome along. we'll start in manchester, where england are doing their best to pile on the runs against australia before the rain arrives at old trafford. ben stokes�* side need to win to maintain any hope of winning the ashes but with bad weather forecast over the weekend, they know there might not be any time to spare. stokes got the morning off to a thunderous start on the pitch. he got stuck straight into the australian bowlers, quickly taking his score past 50 although he didn't survive much longer, unfortunately, bowled by the australian captain pat cummins. harry brook also added runs, he made it past a half century too, before being caught on the boundary by mitchell stark for 61. jonny bairstow is still
1:35 pm
at the crease, he's not out on 41. so, this is where things stand at lunch, england 506—8. that's a lead of 189 but with that bad weather on the way, things could get very interesting in the afternoon session. to the world cup, then, where there's been three more matches this morning. we'll come on to those in a moment. before that, england have this morning confirmed their captain, millie bright, will be available for the start of their campaign tomorrow. the lionesses begin against haiti in brisbane. bright had been struggling with a knee injury but earlier manager sarina wiegman confirmed that she will be fit to play. our reporter, jo currie, is with the team. captain millie bright is fit to start in the opening game against

1:38 pm
all been used at centre—back. she has plenty of options. the problem tomorrow is just the lack of experience in those options. it's been a busy day already at the world cup. three games this morning with the very highly rated spain side cruising to victory against costa rica in wellington. three goals in six first half minutes did all the damage. costa rica's valeria del campo scoring an own goal to put spain ahead. that was before aitana bonmati curled in a second two minutes later. esther gonzalez completed the scoring, adding a third after a header came back off the crossbar. zambia and japan, the other two teams in group c, play tomorrow. there was a win too for switzerland. they saw off world cup debutants philippines 2—0 in dunedin. ramona bachmann's penalty late in the first half opened the scoring for the swiss before seraina piubel doubled their lead with a close—range effort
1:39 pm
in the second half. the swiss now play norway next on tuesday. the first match of the morning was in melbourne, where canada and nigeria played out a goalless draw. canada's christine sinclair missed a chance to make history. she missed a penalty that would have made her the first player to score at six world cups. nigeria keeper chiamaka nnadozie kept out the spot—kick early in the second half. christine sinclair has scored many, many goals for this country and i am sure many fans, the team, and everyone can forgive missing the penalty kick. on kicks are a 50—50 chance and on this day, christine sinclair didn't score that. but knowing sinc, she has high standards and is a perfectionist. but this country and esteem love christine sinclair more than anything and they will rally round her and will be ready for the next game.
