and thanks forjoining us on sportsday. we start with cricket and a scintillating century from that sciver—brunt has seen her write her name into the history books with england's fastest ever odi hundred. it's the perfect platform to help her side thrash sri lanka at leicestershire�*s grace road in the east midlands of england to take the series 2-0. the match reduced to 31 overs per side due to rain, but that didn't stop the stand in skipper sciver—brunt gaining 100th odi cap and in perfect synergy hitting a sensational century in just 66 balls. she was eventually caught for 120 as the home side made 273 england just as good with the ball. charlie dean took her first five wicket haul in international cricket, including three in one over as the visitors were all out forjust 112. pretty happy with that. i thought it could have gone a bit faster, to be fair.

but yeah, i was hitting some hints, some nice shots. i was trying not to get too ahead of myself. so yeah, happy with that. the rugby world cup is under way again after a mid—week break. host nation france up against uruguay in lille on thursday. and it was an incredible performance from the supposed south american minnows, france taking the expected win, but were given a realfright by los datos as they're known after the national bird of uruguay. amazingly, it was the uruguayans who got the first try of the match. nicolas freitas, who plays for van in the the french second division, giving uruguay an early lead. france did hit back almost immediately, fly half on two france did hit back almost immediately, fly half touching down the french leading 13 five at the break. but uruguay, baltazar and maia bringing the underdogs to within a point of france, a monumental upset on the cards, but the hosts finally cranking up the gears to win 27—12. they're a step closer to the last eight.

but uruguay begin their campaign with their best result against a tier1 nation at the world cup. football now — manchester united winger jadon sancho will train away from the first team until issues between the player and manager erik ten hag are resolved. the club confirmed this in a statement on thursday. this follows ten hag's revelation that sancho had been left out of his squad for the premier league defeat at arsenal earlier this month because the winger�*s training performances weren't up to the level required. however, sancho countered with his own statement on social media, saying he rejected the dutchman's claim and felt he was being made a scapegoat. if there was an issue that was resolvable, it would have been resolved by now. i do remember last season, cristiano ronaldo was dropped for a game for a disciplinary issue. maybe tomorrow, when he has a press conference ahead of saturday's game against brighton manager, erik ten hag will explain a little bit more.

it was only going to soldier who kind of push the boat out to try and get santo and that didn't work out. and then last season, ten hag's first season, sancho effectively took three months out to sort out what ten hag felt were were mental and physical issues to deal with. anthony is out of the side. mason mount injured. jadon sancho is exactly the kind of player that manchester united need at the moment. but clearly from that statement today, he's not available for saturday's game against brighton and who knows when he will be available. while the transfer window is closed in the women's super league in england and manchester united have had one of the busiest days for them. they were certainly one of the busiest sides. they've announced the capture of everton defender gabby george for £150,000. the 26—year—old leaves everton after almost ten years at the club. having previously, though come through united's academy, they've also announced the signing of spanish world cup winner irene guerrero from atletico madrid. you can get details of all

of the transfers on our website at bbc.com/sport. now the bournemouth forward david brooks scored for wales on monday. his injury time goal in the win over latvia was the first for his country since he was diagnosed with stage two hodgkin lymphoma two years ago. he's been cancer free for over a year and has been speaking to the bbc about his recovery. i've not been personally affected, like in terms of anyone in my immediate family and household that had it. so i didn't really go know too much about any of the treatment options or kind of what comes with the word. my body was still quite fit and healthy and i really had the trauma of the chemo ——and i really hadn't had the trauma of the chemo and then theyjust got progressively worse after that. and by the end i was just pleading for the 12th and after the 12th it was obviously just trying to feel

better as quick as possible, knowing i didn't really have to go back in. they weren't really expecting any difficult news at the end of it, even though it might have come. and then once i've had the scan, they kind ofjust rang me and just kind of give us the good news. and that was when i was just upstairs in the morning. so yeah, there was a lot of tears and, yeah, it wasjust kind of a relief that it was kind of all done. the whole footballing community, as soon as i got diagnosed, was it was absolutely amazing with all the support and things like that. so, yeah, it was not a surprise, but i was i was very thankful for it all. golf now, and shane lowry is looking to continue his return to form as he defends his title at the pga championship at wentworth. the irishman achieved a first top ten finish since february, coming joint third at the irish 0pen last week. there had been some criticism of his selection for europe's ryder cup team, particularly given poland's adrian meronk had won three events, which included may's italian open at the ryder cup course. but it's been a good time for lowry to find some form solid first round at wentworth with a three under 69 five shots

off the lead, denmark's marcus healy kielder, ——denmark�*s marcus helligkilde leads the field at eight under his two shots ahead of the chasing pack, rather, which includes last year's us open winner, matt fitzpatrick. tennis now, an extraordinary meltdown from the us�*s frances tiafoe handed the netherlands victory in their davis cup group tie in split tiafoe 5—2 down in the third set tie break. when the dutchman reviews a call which had called his serve long, he overturns that call and match point tiafoe then begins a long argument with umpire richard hay and other officials before repeatedly smashing his racquet on the floor. hey, duly handing tiafoe a point penalty which meant he won the match and the netherlands established an unassailable two nothing lead in the third match.

now, when milly pickles had her leg amputated after an accident at the age of 20, she refused to let it hold her back. at the time, she was told she'd never run again. but six years on, she's become the first amputee to finish one of the most extreme races in europe. charlotte simpson reports. i was told that i should never run. i'm a big believer in if you put your mind something, you can achieve anything. six years ago, milly was just like any other student. but just after these pictures were taken september 2017, that all changed. i was 20—years—old at the time when i had my accident and i was electrocuted, and i ended up being in hospital for two and a half months. i had over 25 surgeries fighting for my life and my legs. the 750 volts that passed through millie's body left her with severe internal burns and with a huge choice to make. when all the surgeons came into my room to weigh up the pros and cons of, "shall we keep your legs? shall we fight for it?" ijust remember them talking for ages. i said, "i'm so sorry to interrupt

you, but i've seen my leg. it's not in a great way like i know it needs to go." millie quickly put all her energy into getting back onto her feet and used to her new prosthetic. afterfinishing uni and giving paralympic training a go, millie was looking for her next challenge. enter the red bull 400. it's actually a ski jump, so people normally ski down it, whereas i decided to run up it when i saw the challenge. and it's the world hardest, toughest 400 metre race, i was like, "sign me up." after only six days of training, millie landed in slovenia. ijust thought, "what on earth am i about to do?" i think that's when it really hit me that i'm an amputee. i've got three toes on my human foot. i've got shivers right now thinking about it. and i was i was also just thinking about how far i've come, because there's a video of me when ijust came out of hospital and i literally could not walk up the smallest slope. i was so weak and ijust thought about the contrast

and how far i'd come, and that was making me emotional. i keep saying to myself over and over in my head, "i didn't nearly die to not do this. i didn't nearly to not do this." i genuinely think this is the proudest i've ever been of myself in my entire life. i don't want to cry. itjust means the absolute wrold because it's like i did the impossible. and i hope that i show other people that you really can't do anything if you set your mind to it. and finally, it was a major league debut to remember for washington nationals pitcherjackson rutledge. probably not the way he wanted it to be remembered, though. he's gone viral after a rather painful mishap. already trailing 5—1 against the pittsburgh pirates, rutledge walked ji hwan bae then attempted to steal second base and nats catcher drew miller's throw and absolutely melting rutledge on the back of the head. fortunately, he was able to continue with the nats though going on to

lose the game 7—6. and that's sadly all the time we've got left now from me, mark edwards, and the rest of the team here at the bbc sports centre. we'll see you soon. bye bye. hello. the weather is looking a little mixed over the next few days. certainly some sunshine on offer and really quite warm weather in the south of the country, but the further north you are, you're more likely to run into the cloud with some outbreaks of rain. and that's exactly what's happening right now. if we look at the satellite picture, you can see a weather front there spreading across ireland into more central parts of the uk. so here it's the case of thicker cloud and some outbreaks of rain. to the south of the weather front we've got that warmer, more humid air spreading in from spain and also france and that will be in place across most of england and wales through friday. so here's the forecast then through the early hours,

you can see where the rain is and the cloudier conditions for the north. in the south, it's warmer and clearer temperatures of around 12—14 degrees celsius, fresher there in the glens of scotland, around 5—7 degrees celsius. so in the morning it's cloudy and rainy across the far north of england, parts of northern ireland, the south of scotland, though the north of scotland is fine in the morning. and then further south across england and wales, i think through the course of the morning, into the afternoon, we'lljust see fair weather, cloud building. it will be a really warm day. temperatures in the low to mid 20s, 22 for birmingham, 20 for norwich and london could get up to about 26. for the north, only around 1a degrees. now on saturday the weather front still with us. it's kind of stuck in this area of high pressure, very little wind to move things around. so it'll be here until it reallyjust rains itself out. so thick of cloud and spots

of rain through this part of the country. notice the blobs of blue here, the potential for one or two showers and thunderstorms later in the day. but on the whole, it's a dry day for most of us, at least. really warm in the south—east, again, 26 or seven degrees with that continental influence as the fraction higher, i think in the north. now on the showers and thunderstorms, they really get going i think on sunday spreading in initially to south—western and western areas and they'll probably move further north and east. frequent lightning, gusty winds, maybe hail, that sort of thing. so it could be quite lively for some of us, at least later on sunday. lower temperatures in the south on sunday, slightly higher in the north. now, here's the outlook then — we've got a couple of really warm days then across more southern parts of the uk. but after that, the temperatures are closer to the seasonal norm. and the weather, well, of course, a little more unsettled with rain and showers at times. bye— bye.

welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm arunoday mukharji. let's get you the headlines. 20,000 people may have
