sam curran the last to go.all over. england 287 all out, a first chance now though to have a look at that india batting order. the opening pair didn't seem keen to wait patiently, for vijay. the importance of an early wicket was clear. when the umpire would not oblige, england asked for technology. vijay escaped again. this is why england were anxious. this is what can happen when indian batsmen get their eye in. vijay was getting comfortable when england introduced sam curran. again, the umpire was not interested. again, england reviewed but vijay had run out lives. two balls later, curran did not need to replays to account for this. a 20—year—old who does not look it, current maturing by the ball, he leered shikhar dhawan to his end. the captain, superstar and provocative, virat kohli dropped the mike yesterday. today he has to carry his team. patrick gearey, bbc news, at edgbaston. it's being billed as a mini—olympics for europe, featuring some of the biggest names from seven sports, including athletics, cyc

after england were bowled out early, sam curran stars in the field, as day two of the first test against at edgbaston. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. interest rates are going up for only the second time since 2009. the bank of england's monetary policy committee voted unanimously for the rise, from 0.5 to 0.75%. the increase had been expected, despite concerns over household debt and a slowing of the property market. it means more than 3.5 million mortgages subject to variable or tracker rates will become more expensive. but it's good news for some savers. here's our business editor simonjack. the road to rising interest rates has been a very slow one, like the tarmac on this road near lincoln, rates have been flattened for nearly ten years. that changed today for one main reason, wages are on the move. after years in the doldrums they are rising at 2.7% per year, faster than prices going up in the shops, as employers struggle to recruit and retain staff. that prompted the bank to raise rates by just a quarter to 0.75%. although the economy does not look like it is movi

curran providing the magic after what had been a frustrating opening hour for england.nd brought some current into the attack. he is only 20, he looks about 15, he is in his second test match only, but he penned dj on the pads and it was revised. that was a key moment because a few moments later he got a clean ball and he got shikhar dawan before lunch. the iraq holy, the england captain, the indian superstar come in at the moment. it is the kind of gloomy, swaying conditions where he has struggled in the past, but he can be very dangerous if he can get away and geta very dangerous if he can get away and get a good start. this first hour after lunch will be key. follow it on test match special or on the bbc website, this test match is beautifully poised. for the moment, many thanks indeed. sale winger chris ashton has been named in the england squad for the first time in two years. ashton ended his contract with the french club toulon early in a bid to return to the premiership with a view to playing international rugby again. he scored 19 tries in 39 tests for england

the england bowlers have all chipped in with wickets, sam curran and ben stokes getting involved.d might be in charge, but india still had virat kohli at the crease. he scored 149th in the first innings. if not for him, india would not be in this test match but while he is there, they still have a good chance. the target is now less than 100 for india. they are 103—5 and if kohli is still there at the end of the day's play, they might feel they are the favourites again. looking ahead to tomorrow, more of the drama could continue. how do you see things balancing out? we should get a fourth day. we had a bit of extra play today because we had some bad light delays earlier. but it is so difficult to call. it keeps changing from almost minute to minute. if kohli is still there at the end, india will fancy their chances. he can get these runs on their own, but if england get him out, there hasn't been much evidence that the rest of this indian batting order can cope with swinging conditions. we might see more of adil rashid tomorrow. he has not played much today. but india will want to

and coming up on sportsday on bbc news: sam curran saves england on what was a disastrous day for thee of the fourth test with india in southampton. good evening. britain's biggest payday lender, wonga, has collapsed into administration after facing a surge of compensation claims. the privately owned company, which became one of britain's most controversial loans companies, ran into trouble after the government cracked down on payday lenders. wonga's profits peaked at £85 million six years ago, when it had more than a million customers. but the latest figures show that plunged to a loss of £65 million, with a sharp fall in borrowers. the company faced criticism for its high interest loans and was accused of targeting the vulnerable. 0ur personal finance correspondent simon gompertz reports. with a loan from wongacom... wonga rode to number one among payday lenders on a wave of humorous adverts which glossed over the harm being done to some borrowers. borrowers whose compensation claims have been crippling wonga ever since a clamp—down on payday lenders three years ago. stacey in south
