there was fire would be withoutjonny bairstow, ben stokes opting to miss this competition for fears ofou can watch it live on bbc two. here's a quick look at the medal table — australia still way ahead on top of the table. they've had a brilliant games so far, with a huge 42 gold medals. but hosts england are catching up. another great day with victories in weightlifting, moutain biking and judo. scotland and wales are seventh and eight place respectively, and northern ireland sit 18th. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. hello. well, there is some rain in the forecast, but it's not necessarily where we need it — and we really need it across many parts of england and wales. and, as far as the rest of the week's concerned, it's just a case of a few scattered showers, so for most of us, it will be dry. now, in the short—term, there is rain forecast through this evening and overnight across parts of northern ireland, and also eastern scotland, where it could be quite heavy for a time. also notice around the north of scotland through the morning. but further

well, that's well held byjonny bairstow and south africa's captain was now out, definitely, for 12.py to be bowling, especially when aidan markram contrived to whack this ball up to the sky and down to the gloves. now, did ben stokes see the fortunes of the series turning? here comes more evidence. stokes desperately wanted this to be given out lbw and look, the umpire agreed. a morning session of south african batters trying and departing was just what england needed. well, standing here on the boundary right now, i'm actually feeling for the first time today real rays of sunshine. the morning session really took place underneath grey skies, overcast conditions, classic english conditions. beautiful those are for the likes ofjimmy anderson. ping lin will be finishing off their lunch knowing they have south africa five down. good so far but they would aspire perhaps to have south africa all out by t. it's a reasonable aspiration. play resumes here for certain minutes. thank you, joe wilson reporting there. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. the weather at old trafford

but having lost three wickets quickly, jonny bairstow rebuilt steadily.nd the pitch can deteriorate, brings the spinners into play and can offer a bit of variable bounce as the game goes on. but the overheads as a bowling group this morning, we got together and fancied having a bowl. felt like the clouds would help the ball move a little bit, and whether we could try to make some early inroads. so i wasn't disappointed to lose at all because there's always a release of pressure when a team wins a toss and bat, and you go out and bowl. ex—england batter gary ballance has apologised to azeem rafiq for using racist language against his former yorkshire team—mate. details of racial abuse at the county emerged in september 2020, when rafiq said discrimination had left him feeling suicidal. ballance made the apology in—person during a meeting with rafiq in london this week. we met face—to—face in london, it was hosted byjulian metherell, from the pca. it was very genuine, it was incredibly moving. and it's been really helpful on a human level for myself, and i'

nortje after lunch put south africa in full control, three wickets including the key one ofjonny bairstowff the bowling of kagiso rabada. and south africa made quick work of the tail, marco jansen taking the final wicket ofjimmy anderson to seal victory, and ben stokes' first defeat as england test captain. great britain have won another diving gold medal in the european aquatics championships in rome. it was a surprise first place for ben cutmore and kyle kothari in the men's synchro platform. the pair have only been diving together since the spring and finished fourth at this summer's commonwealth games. but their consistent performances saw them beat the ukrainian favourites. they succeed fellow britons tom daley and matty lee, who won the same event in budapest last year. and over in munich for the european championships tom pidcock dominated the men's cross country mountain bike race. the olympic champion was in command from the start with a perfect performance in what was just his third mountain bike race of the season. pidcock is also an accomplished road cyclist and was in the pel
