let's hear more now from our sports correspondentjoe wilson who's been at edgbaston in birmingham for.. well, such is the significance of ben stokes to england, that when we see him practice, when we watch him bowl, we look at his strapped knee, cross our fingers and hope he comes through 0k. actually, he seemed to today now stokes, his availability now stokes�* availability as an all rounder is a big thing for england. but most significant of all to the whole series is the change in mentality that he's brought with his captaincy. as he explains here. i think what we've done is we've taken a group of players who are obviously very good at what they do. but i think what we've been able to do is just to sort of let them go out and be free. and i think that they've even got to a point even now where they probably think they are better than what they thought they were. and that's just all through a mindset change and allowing people to go out and be who they are on the field and off the field. so, for example, when ben stokes sends moeen ali a text message, ashes question mark, he replies

it could get close to glastonbury, and then later in the day very close to edgbaston, too.throughout. here, the highest of the temperatures. the heat, humidity still in place. 30 degrees across the south—east compares to 18 or 19 in northern ireland. and that fresher air will push eastwards with those thundery downpours during sunday night. and then into next week, we have got high pressure to the south of us, the air coming off of the atlantic. so a slightly different week. it won't be a cold week but we will see some further rain at times, especially across the north and the west. the further south and east you are, always are set to be that little bit drier with some sunshine at times. and in the sunshine, we will see the temperatures lift up once again into the mid 20s. and that is how it is looking. goodbye for now. live from london, this is bbc news. the co—founder of the firm that developed the titan sub rejects claims it cut corners. tributes are paid to the five people killed on board — the sub suffered a catastrophic implosion. uk bank bosses in government talks o

the battle for the ashes has already started, with australia beating england in the first test at edgbastonvalent gets under way. it's a multi—format series with three t20s and three one—dayers following a one—off test match in nottingham, where england will begin their bid to regain the ashes for the first time in a decade. the ashes series is one that as you're a kid growing up you want to be a part of. it encapsulates all three formats which brings me into the game a little bit more, which is great. really great opponent. i think for the first time there's probably a sense of unknown about both sides. it's like the next gen banging on the door and giving us a glimpse into what the ashes series can look like for the next ten years moving forward, which is really exciting. we feel like will have to do things a little differently and maximise a few things. that are slightly strange and disrupt a little bit. try and get the crowd on our side as well. we can try maximise home advantage as much as we can. if we can play entertaining and exciting cricket when we start, i think that will get the
