when you play manchester city in the form they are in with the quality of players they have you have to absent that patients will be the key, they would have more of the ball then you and if you start to undertake chances and it take them to early there will cut through, as it happens we got the 2—1, which gave us some hope, i suppose, then we decided to take if you chances and have a go and luckily it paid off. after three games without a win, including their champions league exit on wednesday, newcastle beat fulham to move within five points of manchester city in fourth. the visitors had rauljiminez sent off in the first half. and newcastle eventually made their man advantage count, 17—year—old lewis miley with his first goal for the club before miguel almiron and dan burn sealed the win. up next for them is chelsea in their league cup quarter final on wednesday. fulham stay in the bottom half of the table. here are eddie howe's thoughts on lewis miley.

relatively— the game, and lessons learned for a relatively naive and young, inexperienced group. the late game is at burnley — sean dyche is back on his old patch with an everton side who are looking to make it four wins in a row in the premier league. and the visitors lead thanks to a headerfrom amadou onana and then this from michael keane. everton leading by two goals as we approach the 50th minute of that game. the visitors willjump to 16th with a win, their fourth successive league victory. it's over 1a years since ipswich beat norwich in the east anglia derby... their wait goes on after they missed the chance to go clear at the top of the championship after an entertaining two all draw at portman road. after first half goals from nathan broadhead and jonathan rowe saw the sides level at the break, norwich took the lead just after half time as rowe scored his second. however, ipswich who dominated most
6:41 pm
of the game ensured themselves a point thanks to wes burns' 60th minute strike.... ipswich are now level on points with the leaders leicester — ed sheeran happy to see that equaliser go in! elsewhere, sunderland missed the chance to move into the play off places with a 1—0 defeat at bristol city, hull are fifth after a 3—0 win over cardiff, third placed leeds dropping points at home to coventry. the thriller was at plymouth where finn azaz scored two and set up a stoppage—time winner as his side beat rotherham 3—2. watford with five goals at preston, four for fourth placed southampton at home to blackburn. the scottish title race is tightening — after the leaders celtic were beaten again — hearts stunning the premiership champions to secure a first win at parkhead since 2009 lawrence shankland and stephen kingsley with the goals. leaders celtic remain five points above rangers, who have two games in hand, while hearts are well behind in third. there were alsowins
6:42 pm
for dundee and stjohnstone. tottenham have claimed wsl bragging rights over their rivals arsenal after a surprise 1—0 win at the tottenham hotspur stadium. martha thomas scored the only goal of the game in the second half to earn spurs a first—ever league win over their neighbours. the result leaves arsenal second, behind champions chelsea on goal difference, as they squandered the chance to go top. spurs remain sixth after their first win in six league games. they might have won the t20 series — but england's one off test match in india has ended with a crushing defeat. needing to pull off the highest ever run chase in the history of women's test cricket — they were beaten by 310 runs in mumbai — giving india their first ever win over england in a home test match. joe lynskey reports: this was a one—off test match that off course for england. india, winners by more than 300 rents. they
6:43 pm
took england's ten wickets in less than three hours. tommy beaumont first of fall to the swing. none of england's squad had pleaded a test match before, these were, they said extreme conditions. england were 3-37, extreme conditions. england were 3—37, chasing almost 500. some brief resistance came from the captain, top scored with just 21, she also misjudged the movement. this is india's first test win against england at home. in the end, it came by a woman's record margin. when lauren bella was less ago england were all out for 131, the way it goes on for our boots in this format. they're not won test match in ten years, but few defeats have been like this. joe lynskey, bbc
6:44 pm
news. so disappointment for england, who were outplayed across the three days in all departments. for their young team, though, all playing their first test in india, some valuable lessons learned with the pitch and the condition is very different to anything they have faced before. captain heather knight still trying to stay positive. will take a lot from this list of t20 to create —— t20 cricket coming up. i think it exposed the players to what conditions will be, but in terms of teeth — 20 that's our main cricket coming up and the ones where the can the most for, so i think this will vote as well. england's men must win today's third t20 against west indies in granada if they are to have a chance of saving the five match series.
6:45 pm
it's 926 runs before being caught, or rather empowers didn't take long to settle those, special note to six four —— west indies 136 — four in 15 overs. you can keep up—to—date with all of this, with the latest on the bbc sport website. nathan lyon moved to 499 career test wickets as australia strengthened their control of the first test against pakistan on day three in perth. he took 3—66 and pakistan were pulled over 271 in theirfirst innings. the host got off to a shaky start as he looked to extend their advantage. with wickets early on, but a 79 run partnership or the third wicket helps us recover and

hello there. good evening. it's been cloudy, breezy and mild across the uk today. a lot of dry weather, but some heavy rain piling into western areas of scotland by the south, across northern england and the midlands. there has been some sunshine, a very pretty end of the day here with red skies, with sunset, the mild air coming in on the south—westerly winds and it's really quite brisk. it's blustery towards the north western facing coast. and that wind is driving in for other rain overnight tonight across western scotland. the rainfall totals will really start to stack up. in fact, some spots, particularly for western slopes of the highlands, by the time we get to the end of the day on sunday, could see as much as 200 millimetres of rainfall. there's a met office amber weather warning in force across western scotland for heavy rain from argyll and bute stretching as far north as sutherland. there could possibly be some landslips, most likely across the south highlands and argyll, and the rainjust continues overnight. tonight it sinks a little further southwards. it's still dry for eastern scotland. a few breaks in the cloud, too, for south east england. and here temperatures could dip back to eight degrees celsius.

but these are the sorts of values that we'll be seeing by day at this time of year. so another very mild start to sunday morning and the rain isjust going to be relentless as we head through sunday across western scotland. again, just being driven in on this brisk south—westerly wind, it pushes further southwards into northern ireland and perhaps north west england as we go through to the end of the day, some breaks in the cloud to the lea of high ground east of the pennines and across north east wales, possibly to some breaks across southeast england. it's very mild still for the time of year, temperatures well above the seasonal average, but turning cold. that rain clears scotland through the day on monday. some more rain edging into western scotland and we look towards the south on tuesday to find this weather frontjust moving further eastwards and it's likely to reinvigorate. so a lot of that rain popping up a very wet day across england and wales through tuesday. and there could be some wintry showers further north across scotland, much of northern england
6:59 pm
staying largely dry. so here's the outlook as we head through the week, things are still likely to change. it will turn milder again through the middle part of the week and then colder again from the north as we head towards the end of the week. a lot of uncertainty as to how far south that colder air is likely to get. so keep an eye on the forecast. bye— bye.
