i am sure, then the champions' trophy not too far away, so a messy situation to sort out but if you think of it logically nothing that the selectors and management cannot or will not if they do decide to do so. you mentioned the india coach there, there was a bit of needle between both coaches after andrew mcdonald the other day mentioned that perhaps his teenage opener sam konstas needed a little care and attention after the attention he had got from the indian players. and then saying that australia is essentially soft for thinking that sam konstas might need that attention, this needle, it's wonderful from the outside, but what does it suggest about those two camps on the inside? two thoughts here. both coaches were feeling left out that only the people in the middle have had some

fun, but on a more serious plane, i do think that it was a conscious effort by the team management because talking to some of the people who have played or seen sam konstas play, they have said that while he is a confident young man, as many of these youngsters are, he is not as abrasive or as in your face as we saw when he played against india at melbourne and at sydney, and this may have well been a plan to get it going, when it came back or got a backlash from the indians, then i suspect they will talk about intimidation, i think it is fair to say that australians above all have no right to talk about intimidation, there was enough of that, virat kohli's incident at melbourne was unforgivable, any sane—thinking cricketing enthusiast would agree that it was uncalled for, but what happened

on day two of the last over was sam konstas got involved in a conversation between the umpire and bumrah about taking a bit longer than he may have been allowed to, and bumrah is not somebody who's ruffled easily, when he gets upset, watch out! it was a game of nine tries in rugby's premiership this afternoon between northampton and leaders bath, but it was the boot of fin smith that gave the saints a last—minute win by 35 points to 34. this was the winning moment. with just two points between them, smith held his nerve to clinch a thrilling victory in what was a repeat of last season's premiership final. bath remain top, six points ahead of bristol, while northampton stay eighth. in the women's rugby premiership, there was a rerun of last year's title game. bristol bears took on gloucester hartpury,

both their division title and the nfc�*s number one seed on the line. whoever wins will guarantee home field advantage throughout the post—season. there's still a place in the afc play—offs to be confirmed later, but these are the games that started at 6pm our time with seedings and another division title in the nfc to be decided. the tampa bay buccaneers will claim it if they win. but they are trailing. so who could step in? if they don't, the atlanta falcons could take it from them if they beat the carolina panthers. there's also the number one pick in the next draft to be sorted with the new england patriots the most likely to take that. they, though, have to lose to the buffalo bills and after having a lead on that one for a while, they do now trail against their division rivals. still one match to come in this round of premier league fixtures as nuno espirito santo takes his high—flying nottingham forest team back to his old stomping ground of molineux to face wolves.

forest are third in the table, thanks in part to the rich goal—scoring form of forward chris wood. 0ur reporter charlie slater caught up with the striker ahead of monday's game. fresh from one of the best goal—scoring years of his life, chris wood, 33 years old, is one of the premier league's top scorers. i always felt that i can score goals and always have potentially scored goals. over the last few weeks, i have said i am not a man that will beat one or two players, i rely on service, and if they can't supply me i can't score, so i owe a lot to them to supply me and then i have to do my business of trying to score. until recently, only cole palmer, mo salah and erling haaland had scored more goals this season than wood, but then again he always backed himself and forest to improve, this is what he told me in spain during pre—season last summer. we wanted to do better than we did last season,

we wanted to be higher up the league, but we wanted to make sure we took care of business to begin with, you can't start sloppy or on the back foot, you have to give yourself a good platform to build from and that is what we are focusing on so far, but we want to do better than last season, definitely. mission accomplished, they already have five more points than in all of last and wood's role in in forest's rise is undeniable. chris is showing everybody that if you take care of yourself you can perform well. it doesn't mean anything if we don't do well for the rest of the season, so it is only a start for the club and the team and me, and we need to do more to achieve our dreams and our goals for the season and maybe even exceed them. and it willjust be intriguingl as we move into 2025 to see if this incredible journey that nottingham forest are - on will continue.

that is tomorrow night. and tonight at 10:30pm on bbc one, all the highlights, knots being separated at anfield. —— nottingham forrest. that's all from sportsday. hello there, good evening. well, the milder air across the southern half of the uk turned the snow quickly back to rain where we saw it. but there have been some significant accumulations across northern england, in particular, and especially over the higher ground of the pennines and the cumbrian fells. some of that snow drifting around with brisk easterly winds. there's still an amber weather warning in force issued by the met office. second highest level of alert, valid until midnight tonight for these areas, so you should expect to see more disruption. further accumulations to be expected for the rest of the night and through at least part of the day tomorrow.

the snowfall also continues across northern and eastern areas of scotland. watch out for some icy stretches. and there could be some wintriness in some of these showers across northern parts of wales too. but the mild air sticks towards the south for most of us, and this will be falling as rain. it could lead to some localised flooding. some added snow melt as well. but look atjust how mild it is into tomorrow morning. across east anglia and south—east england, temperatures hit double figures. elsewhere, it's cold and, with everything refreezing onto the roads and the pavements, it will be an icy start to next week. it stays cold through the week, more wintry showers around at times, and widespread sharp frost bite at night too. so, on monday, then, our area of low pressure continues to pull away into the north sea, and that's going to leave behind it a northerly wind. it stays very blustery, particularly for these eastern—facing coasts as we head through monday, and also windy for these western coasts at times too. more wintry showers across the pennines, into north—east england and down through northern and eastern areas of scotland.

and there could be a bit of a wintry mix in some of these showers for northern ireland, wales and across the moors of the south—west, particularly over the higher ground. just look at the temperatures drop across south—east england and east anglia as the day wears on. we'll end the afternoon in mid—single figures only, and that cold arctic air continues to stream down from the north. the northerly winds will be keeping that colder air for the rest of the week. so widespread frost on tuesday, wednesday morning. look at this rain start to move in from the south, just grazing the southern part of the uk as we head through wednesday morning. it's likely that we will see a little bit of wintriness perhaps on the leading edge. here's the outlook for our capital cities. it stays cold. some wintry showers, but quieter than this weekend. bye— bye.

live from london, this is bbc news. a severe weather alert is in place for parts of northern england after heavy snow caused travel disruption. millions of americans are in the grips of a huge winter storm that could bring the heaviest snowfall and coldest temperatures in over a decade. james lee williams, better known as drag artist the vivienne, has died, at the age of 32. elon musk takes aim at nigel farage, writing on x that he "doesn't have what it takes" to lead reform uk. the 82nd golden globes will take place in los angeles later — wicked, emilia perez, conclave, and the brutalist are all in the running
