colder. but this was today, a lot colder. but this was today, a nice gap between the weather systems, but here is tomorrow's. it has been wet across the north and east of scotland. that rain gradually sinks more cloud southwards and there will be showers tonight across the far south of england. plenty of clear skies further north. expect to see some mist patches form where we have seen the recent flooding and it has turned a lot colder across scotland. that is a sign of things to come. most of the weather tomorrow will be happening across the far south and west. this low pressure system is pushing heavy and persistent outbreaks of rain and strong and gusty winds across the far south—west and into wales, approaching northern ireland, northern england and the midlands by the time we get to the end of the day. further north and west and through the east coast, it is largely dry, but that rain will continue to push northwards and eastwards through wednesday evening and into thursday. then you can see this brisk easterly wind that is going to keep piling that rain

across into north—east england in particular, especially for the north york moors as we had to thursday, stretching further west into northern ireland. to the north and south of that front, a lot of dry weather, but it is feeling cold across scotland. we draw down a northerly wind and cold air spreads everywhere on friday, with possibly a widespread frost on friday night. thanks, elizabeth. and that's bbc news at six. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are, goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jane dougall. are england on course for an embarrassing defeat to australia? they're struggling to save the series and their blushes, we'll be live to durham for the latest. it's rumoured to be serious, but will rodri be out for the rest of the season? and how much of a dent will that put in manchester city's title challenge? plus, the pitch that looks

more like a golf course. fans have been fundraising after flooding at afc wimbledon wrecked their home fixtures for the foreseeable. this is a significant hurdle that we got to overcome, but if history teaches us anything, nothing is impossible and we will get through it and we will come back stronger. also coming up on sportsday. we'll have the latest from the para—cycling world championships, where britain have won nine medals on day four. and lessons from the best in the world — olympic gold medallist duncan scott turns his hand to teaching as he passes on his skills to kids. welcome to the programme. england are fighting

to save the series and save face as they battle against australia in the third one—day international. they trail the series 2—0 and need 305 runs to win this match. it's a big ask, but not outwith the realms of possibility. we'll be live to chester—le—street in a moment, but firstjoe wilson rounds up the day's action so far. england's players often enjoy their football. it still the cricket season honestly, till time for english versus australia, mitchell marsh versus australia, mitchell marsh versus doctor archer. still intense in late september —— joffra archer. impressing england now, but would steve smith leading, australia began rebuilding. their supporters like a white wine, presently chill. on the boundary watching the ball and grabbing it, with steve smith gone

for 60, a life in cricket and it could still surprise you. alex carey took over — 77 not out. too good, too often. 305, england's batter is needed to win the game. ben duckett fell into a twilight, australian gold up as bright as ever. a moment for harry brook to time his shot perfectly, still time just for england to keep the series alive. joe wilson, bbc news. well, lets go live now to chester—le—street, our cricket reporter henry moeran is there for us. hi, henry. first of all, a bit of hope for england because there's currently a great partnership between harry brook and willjacks. week there is, just past 150 mark. youth at this point, they are well up youth at this point, they are well up and help with the game. it's been an extraordinary stand up from the

captain broo. willjacks moved his total onto 8a. england will feel under real pressure. 11—2, trent bridge in the first couple of one—day internationals. it has been a site under pressure. they needed to find it, and so far, it is brook and jack's you are doing that. 305 is a big old target, but you have to keep going for another keep going and england will feel well and control. q; :: and england will feel well and control. as , . and england will feel well and control. ;::: , ., . and england will feel well and control. as , . . ., and england will feel well and control. ;;:: , . . ., ., control. 305 is a decent target have to meet. control. 305 is a decent target have to met it — control. 305 is a decent target have to meet. it could _ control. 305 is a decent target have to meet. it could have _ control. 305 is a decent target have to meet. it could have been - control. 305 is a decent target have to meet. it could have been as- control. 305 is a decent target have | to meet. it could have been as well, australia scored _ to meet. it could have been as well, australia scored more _ to meet. it could have been as well, australia scored more than - to meet. it could have been as well, australia scored more than 100 - to meet. it could have been as well, | australia scored more than 100 runs, which inevitably will cause just a little bit of a slumping of the shoulders. but they have fought back really well. i think one will be interesting is if a couple of wickets fall, this is a young

england batting line—up. will that pressure tell? we know the way the team play. it is always encouraged to be without fear, back yourself, back what you're doing and from what we've seen from brook and jack's, they are certainly doing that. finally, if england were to win tonight, how do you think that would help with building for the rest of the series? i help with building for the rest of the series?— help with building for the rest of the series? i think that will have a certain showpiece _ the series? i think that will have a certain showpiece element - the series? i think that will have a certain showpiece element this i the series? i think that will have a - certain showpiece element this week. i think of australia were to win, they would have the unassailable 3—0 lead and that would be a really disappointing end to the summer to lose a series at home against the old rivals. at the earliest home, it would be really disappointing. if they win, it provides a real impetus and boost and with brendan mccullen taking over, i have a champions

trophy, —— ahead of, that would just give them something to build on heading into what will be a new era for english white ball cricket. 165-2. for english white ball cricket. 165—2. henry moran, thank you so much. "there is a limit" and it's "unavoidable that players will get injured" because of too many games. strong words from manchester united manager eric ten hag on the packed schedule for premier league footballers. his defender nousair mazaroui agreed with him, saying it was too much. players' welfare has been a running theme after fifpro began legal proceedings in june against world football's governing body fifa in an attempt to guarantee breaks for players. too many games. it's clear, too many competitions for top players. they are overloaded and this is not good for football. are overloaded and this is not good forfootball. at are overloaded and this is not good for football. at the end of the day, it's good for commercial, but there is a limit. yeah, players getting

when the spanish midfielder has when the spanish midfielder has played, city have been unbeaten in the premier league for 52 matches, dating back to february 2023. they do have an impressive squad of players to rotate,

manchester city are in action tonight in the league cup against watford. they're one of four fixtures in the third round, including another premier league side, aston villa, who travel to wycombe wanderers, where alisdair bruce ball is for us. it's a big night for a legal one. only the fourth time in the history they've appeared in the third round of this competition. the last time a premier league team was at this park was the fourth round of the fa cup backin was the fourth round of the fa cup back in 2021. jose mourinho ran out 4-1 back in 2021. jose mourinho ran out 4—1winners. tonight, it's emory and aston villa. what that could mean is a start for the inform colombian upfront who is already scored four goals. wickham's manager won't be

the re—scheduled match on the 1st of october and have contributed to a fundraising page for wimbledon. earlier, i spoke to managing directorjames woodroof who was pitch—side for us. i began by asking him how the ground had been so badly damaged. because the river was full and obviously record levels of rainfall, it sent pressure underneath the pitch. it was enormous force, as you can see. so, essentially, it's water pressure that cause this to happen fulfillment. pressure that cause this to happen —— caused this to happen. share pressure that cause this to happen -- caused this to happen.- -- caused this to happen. are you insured? how _ -- caused this to happen. are you insured? how much _ -- caused this to happen. are you insured? how much will _ -- caused this to happen. are you insured? how much will it - -- caused this to happen. are you insured? how much will it cost? i insured? how much will it cost? yeah, the club's insured. we're working very closely with the insurers. there's been an out

soul —— game —— a sold—out game. we were desperately sad to postpone the game, but we told every seat in the stadium it would have been a very memorable occasion, but sadly, we need to get to work on repairing our pitch and hopefully getting people backin pitch and hopefully getting people back in very soon. bud pitch and hopefully getting people back in very soon.— pitch and hopefully getting people back in very soon. and we don't know when that's — back in very soon. and we don't know when that's going _ back in very soon. and we don't know when that's going to _ back in very soon. and we don't know when that's going to be, _ back in very soon. and we don't know when that's going to be, do you? - when that's going to be, do you? you're scheduled to play stanley in the league. that's not going to happen this weekend. what's the plan for this weekend and for the future you will future? == for this weekend and for the future you will future?— for this weekend and for the future you will future? -- the foreseeable future. you will future? -- the foreseeable future- we — you will future? -- the foreseeable future. we are _ you will future? -- the foreseeable future. we are doing _ you will future? -- the foreseeable future. we are doing our— you will future? -- the foreseeable future. we are doing our utmost i you will future? -- the foreseeable future. we are doing our utmost toj future. we are doing our utmost to find an alternative ground for this saturday's game. we're working through that at the moment. our next home game after newcastle �*s october the 12th, so that the target time for us. until he began the excavation, it's impossible for us to say with us realistic or not. fin to say with us realistic or not. on

the history teaches anything, nothing is impossible and we will get through it and we will come back stronger. james woodruff speaking to me earlier. let's hope those repairs get under way in as soon as possible. let's take a quick look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines. uefa has stripped the san siro of hosting the champions league final in 2027. it's after authorities in milan couldn't guarantee that refurbishment work at the stadium and the surrounding area wouldn't affect the match. a new host city will be announced next year. the jockey rachel blackmore will not ride again in the coming weeks, thats after she injured her neck in the coming weeks, after she injured her neck in a fall at downpatrick last week. blackmore — who was the first woman to win the grand national — came off her mount "hand over fist" in a handicap chase. the irish horseracing regulatory board said blackmore would be undergoing rehabilitation for her injury. joe root and nat sciverbrunt are in contention for the 2024 professional cricketers' association player of the year awards.

root has scored more than 1200 test runs over the past 12 months whilst sciver brunt was the hundreds top run—scorer with 303 runs. new zealand centre jordie barrett has injured a ligament in his left knee and is a doubt for the start of the all blacks' tour of the northern hemisphere. new zealand play england on the 2nd of november before matches against ireland, france and italy on the following three weekends. and northern ireland's mark allen is through to the third round of the british open. after criticizing the table in cheltenham yesterday, no such problems for the world number three today as he beat arron hill by four frames to one. to rugby union now, and dragons backrower ollie griffiths has been diagnosed with a tumour on his spine.

it means the 29—year—old will be out of action for the foreseeable future as he undergoes medical treatment. the welsh rugby club say his condition "requires intervention", but that he remains fit and well. dragons added: "the club will continue to work with ollie to ensure he receives the best care and support to aid his treatment." great britain has won nine medals on day nine medals on day four at the uci road and para—cycling road world championships in zurich, with cat ferguson, felix barrow and fran brown each taking gold. brown — who missed out on first place at the paralympics — put in a strong performance to defend the world title that she won in glasgow last year, leading a british one—two, with fellow brit kate toft following her home to take silver. elsewhere, finn graham won silver in the mens' time trial. graham was taking part in his first event since winning gold in paris over the summer, but was unable to get past france's florian bouziani. graham is now looking ahead to the road race, which takes place on thursday.

not too bad to be close, but this three years in a row, i think .08 of the second. i think it might�*ve been third time lucky, but it wasn't to be. i did the best i could with the legs that i had, and yeah, hopefully it'll be bigger than. former us open champion marin cilic has become the lowest—ranked player to win an atp tour title with an emotional victory at the hangzhou open, beating home favourite zhang zhizhen. cilic, who was given a wild card to play in hangzhou, started the tournament ranked 777th in the world but overcame zhang in straight sets 7—6, 7—6 four days before his 36th birthday. the croatian has spent the majority of the past two seasons out with a knee injury, which required multiple surgeries. there are plenty of great swimming teachers out there, but imagine getting a lesson

could see 80 to possibly 100mm of rain. for most places, tuesday has been spent in this gap between weather systems, but more cloud waiting in the wings out in the atlantic. that is our next weather system — already starting to throw some cloud into the southwest of england. a bit of showery rain here, maybe a few showers running eastwards across southeastern parts of england as well. this band of cloud moving southwards out of scotland into northern england, afew showers with that. where we see clear skies through the night in parts of scotland could drop down to freezing. we could also see some fog patches, say, across parts of the midlands, as we start tomorrow morning through tomorrow, we see this area of cloud and rain pushing across the south—west of england up into wales, the midlands, some showers moving across the southeast. northern england tending to cloud over through the day, northern ireland not doing too badly for some sunshine and for scotland, scotland's sunny spells, just one or two showers, particularly in the far north

where it will be a cold day again. 9—10 degrees, even further south, 14—15 or 16 at best. and then through wednesday night into thursday, this low spins its way eastwards and this frontal system here becoming slow moving across northern england. so, that is why we have some cause for concern across northeast england. already met office yellow warning has been issued, particularly in spots exposed to this brisk northeasterly wind. so, the rain really piling up over high ground here. pretty wet at times as well for northern ireland, southwest scotland, the north and to the south of that, sunny spells and showers. and then, as our area of low pressure continues to roll away eastwards during thursday night, our band of rain starts to sink its way southwards and eastwards and as it clears behind that rain band, well, we all get into this northerly wind all the way from the arctic. particularly where you're exposed to the strength of that wind. and then for the weekend, well, mainly fine through saturday, but we will see heavy rain into the west on sunday.
