and we've got another test, starting this time in headingley in leeds.moving out of northern ireland and into the early hours of friday morning it'll be pushing through scotland. so we start off on friday morning with some showery outbreaks of rain to the north and west, but further south we'll once again see some clearer skies. but this frontal system will tend to lingerfor a time. it's going to tap in to some very warm and humid air as we move into friday. hence the reason we'll see this northwest, southeast divide. so some showery outbreaks of rain into northern ireland and western scotland. eastern scotland, england, wales dry, settled, sunny and increasingly hot and humid, 28—29 degrees can't be ruled out by the middle of the afternoon. that runs the risk of more thunderstorms as we move into the weekend. hence the reason for those showers for both wimbledon and for headingley. those fronts will push in and move steadily north and east. so into the weekend, sunny spells and scattered showers and a little bit fresher. and for headingley. those fronts

meanwhile on the mens side the crucial third ashes test starts at headingley in leeds on thursday.es 2—0 england have made a raft of changes. the maths is simple england have to win. anything less than that will see the australians retain the ashes. the aussies might be expecting a hostile atmosphere after that controversial final day in the second test, and our correspondent joe wilson is at headingley for us with more in the last few days it seems that anybody intimately or distantly connected to cricket has expressed an opinion about the journey bear so something was up all that matters now is this theories is about to resume how do england react? journey bear still in particular all of that is the responsibility of the captain. i think we've seen in the past with bairstow, any criticism around himself he has always managed to do something. whether he uses the incident last week as some kind of inspiration to get the best out of himself this week, who knows question mark every individualjust need to do what they need to do to get themselves up for this week. so, what right now i

and as we still recover from what was a chaotic second test at lords we prepared to move on to headingleyst of so many famous ashes moments and a venue that is sure to give the australian team a hostile welcome on thursday. at lord's we had everything, a barrage of bouncers, a controversial dismissal and a true captain endings from ben stokes. for the aussies a draw at headingley would not only erase some of the painful losses the team have experienced at that particular ground but also more importantly see them retain the ashes, adding a layer of intrigue, both squads have injuries to contend with on england's side, it's been can terms that ollie pope has been ruled out of the rest of the series. be a big mess for us. obviously he is a hell of a player, and he is a great mind to have in the group as well, and gains a huge amount of having him as vice captain as to a number of the guys around so because it would be a big loss, he has been an integral part of this team and will continue to be for many more years to come. key injuries affecting both sides, england havejust a significant off

thursday was a better day for play at wimbledon and for the start of the test at headingley. lot of cloud generally, but we did see temperatures peaking at 23 degrees. however, into friday, we're tapping into some heat and humidity, and temperatures may well peak as high as 29 celsius, 84 fahrenheit. there is some cloud and rain around, though, and you can see quite clearly where i'm talking about on the satellite picture. this is a frontal system bringing some wet weather, fairly showery first thing friday morning across scotland and northern ireland. slowly brightening up into the afternoon. but with that southerly wind direction dragging in that warm, humid air as we go through the day, producing clear skies across england and wales, temperatures will respond. highs of 29 celsius in one or two areas by the middle of the afternoon. so that means for the tennis at wimbledon, we could see temperatures as high as 27. it has the potential to be the best or the hottest day of this season's championship. and it'll be similar story as well for the men's ashes. thunderstorms perhap

the headingley cloud treated to a fascinating two hours of play.ill be coming back out in the next five minutes or so. australia will resume on 9i—a. travis head was dropped on nine by jonny bairstow two. he is ten not out, mitchell marsh isjust getting going as well. you can listen to commentary from test match special. england women's captain heather knight says her side are "going to fly" after winning theirfirst points in the women's ashes. the hosts won a nail—biting second t20 by three runs at the oval, but still trail 6—2 in the multi—format series. danielle wyatt's 76 helped england amass 186 in their 20 overs — their highest total against australia. and despite ellyse perry's unbeatenfifty, england hung on to win. australia still hold a significant lead in the series, with england — like the men — need to win all their remaining matches to regain the ashes. the next game is at lords on saturday. there is another hugely signicant cricket match going on in bulawayo where scotland can seal qualification for the one day world cup later this ye

it's the same for headingley.th the humidity levels rising through the day. as we head through the evening and overnight, there will be clear skies, still quite windy out towards the west and then we've got the arrival of the next weather front coming in from the south—west introducing thicker cloud and also some showery outbreaks of rain. these are our overnight lows, 11 to 18 degrees, but don't forget, it is going to feel humid. it will be a humid start to the day tomorrow, but, for many, it will be dry, it will be sunny, but here's our weather front, which will be coming in overnight, moving steadily northwards and eastwards. some of this will be heavy and also thundery. it's likely to cause some interruption to play tomorrow at wimbledon and headingley. these are our temperatures — 17 to about 29 degrees north to south. as we head on into sunday things start to change. our first weather front clears off, but we do have a lot of showers packing in behind. now, don't take this as gospel because our models have b

so the risk of some downpours giving some interruptions to play at headingley.he heavy showers today. it had moved its way eastward. so by sunday morning, still the threat of some heavy downpours down towards east anglia and the south east of england. and then as we go into the afternoon, just to get a rash of showers developing, which will again be heavy and thundery in places during sunday afternoon. temperatures down a touch again. it will feel fresher on sunday with those temperatures about 21 to 23 degrees. on into next week then, this area of low pressure moves its way north and east. and then when you see low pressure, you've got to think of unsettled weather. the air is rising within that. so a north westerly winds will bring a fresher feel to things next week. but certainly the threat of some showers or longer spells of rain really for most of the week and maximum temperatures in the range of about 16 to maybe 22 degrees celsius. watch out for those showers today. goodbye. this is bbc news, the headlines. president biden defends supplying ukraine with c

our sports correspondent joe wilson was at headingley today.day's journey towards victory that must have felt like a lifetime for england fans, who believed, hoped and doubted that their team were going to win over and over again. england in pursuit of 251 to win the second match were pegged back and again by australia, in particular by mitchell starc. just when it seemed like they were going to do it, when harry brook made 75, taking england to 21 runs from their target, he was out. it took mark wood came to the crease and nervously walloped a six to make england believe again. chris woakes was the man playing a supporting role, all the way until it was his turn to hit the winning runs and headingley erupted. when england's men really need a victory, they tend to come here. for this series as a whole, to keep the ashes alive, well, it is very important. it now stands at 2—1. both teams now have over a week to rest and think before the fourth test begins. it is going to be good, for our dressing room and the aussies as well. it has been a very

they both had a go at headingley and didn't last very long.ur test match specials. henry moran. hi there, henry. there are a lot of questions, aren't there? should we start with jimmy anderson and that pace attack, which looked pretty good at headingley? sentiment can't play a part here, can it? i think the most likely and obvious change ifjimmy anderson is to come back in, would be in place of ollie robinson, who didn't look quite himself. he went off injured, didn't bowl the over as it would have been expected that he would have done, and also hasn't quite been at the pace that he would want to be either. i think stuart broad will almost certainly play because of how well he's done, particularly against david warner at the top of the order. so i think we're quite likely to seejimmy anderson back in the side at his home ground. in what, of course, is such a big test match now, hasn'tjonny bairstow been at the centre of things, whether he's grappling with a protester, you know, that controversial run out that caused a diplomatic incident for a

headingley, the cricket has moved north and move on. anthem faded to a short verse of boos, well, ok, but this is a match england must win. stuart broad, first over of the day, david warner court, broad of course conducting. well, that's a start. it's very hard to disrupt usman khawaja's concentration. eyes on the ball, mind on the prize, when here and they keep the ashes. mark wood is back in england's team to bowl fast. 95 miles an hour can be too quick for the batter, for the wicketkeeper, for everyone. it's exciting to watch. look what it does to the stumps. mark wood at his best, even for usman khawaja, no chance. that's what the fast bowler lives for. what next? 0llie robinson bowling to steve smith and a mis—hit. jonny bairstow reacted, he dived, but the ball eluded his fingertips. chris woakes to marnus labuschagne to joe fingertips. chris woakes to marnus labuschagne tojoe root fingertips. chris woakes to marnus labuschagne to joe root to fingertips. chris woakes to marnus labuschagne tojoe root to 61—3 and now another steph's

joe wilson reports from headingley.was to rescue the innings — to keep england close to australia's score, to keep england in the ashes. but he's carrying injuries. he knew that was going to a fielder but something about his batting intimidates even the australians. missed it. australia picked a young spin bowler. this was todd murphy's headingley education. ben stokes to 50. england passed 200 and spectators to their feet. that's what stokes does. he hit five sixes and made 80, and when england were all out, they were just 26 runs behind. the game was still alive. so australia in their second innings set out to just bat normally, sensibly, to build their lead. but the ashes does funny things to even the best players. why would marnus labuschagne on 33 hit this directly to harry brook waiting by the boundary? he didn't know. why would steve smith place this shot into the hands of ben duckett? england missed some chances, took this. smith out for two. between him and jonny bairstow, a certain conversation, along the line

certainly by the evening it should be fine with that sunshine but at headingley, for the ashes cricketa of low pressure is still with us into sunday and this is the cold front bringing the heavy showers today. moving eastward so by sunday morning there is still a threat of heavy downpours down towards east anglia and the south—east of england. as we go into the afternoon, just to get a rush of showers developing which will be heavy and thundery in places during sunday afternoon. temperatures down a touch again. it will feel fresher on sunday but those temperatures will be 21—23 . enter next week, this area of low pressure moves north and east and when you see low pressure you've got when you see low pressure you�*ve got to when you see low pressure you've got to think of unsettled weather. a north—westerly wind will bring a fresh feel two things next week. but certainly the threat of showers are longer spells of rain for most of the week and maximum temperatures in the week and maximum temperatures in the range of 16 to over 22 celsius. watch out for those showers today. goodbye. this

joe wilson, bbc news, headingley.at series 6—2, with england still needing to win all their remaining matches to win the ashes. to wimbledon — where, as we've been saying, it was another stop/start day yesterday — but not only because of the weather. play on court 18 was stopped not once, but twice — asjust stop oil protestors disrupted the matches. britain's katie boulter was one of those affected — as her match against daria saville was halted while the confetti was cleared up. the break actually worked in boutler�*s favour — she went from trailing 4—2 in a first set tiebreak to winning it, before taking the second set 6—2 — and booking her place in round two. boulter�*s victory was the only british success of the day, though. jodie burrage was beaten comfortably on her centre court debut — winning just two games in a straight sets defeat to daria kasatkina. a straight—sets defeat too for heather watson — losing to barbora krejcikova of the czech republic in the opening round. disappointment for watson — who had rea

here we are, at headingley, moving on from lords, that is retreating when the schedule is so remembersear, former captain came to speak to the media today and clear that he did not want to get stuck with the bear still incident stuck into it but it is also clear from his perspective that england definitely retained the moral high ground. it will make a trip for myself and not position and i like to think i would have dealt with the very differently. as a team, but we want to play a certain way and be pursued legacy and clearly, it's been very different alley of god about test cricket in the past 18 months. —— don about and i think we should play cricket in a slightly different way. there was some behaviour in their which was disappointing to everybody. you know, the yorkshire public very well. what would you say to them about what type of behaviour they should bring to this match? support england. i think that's the most important thing, you support your nations. it doesn't need to go beyond that and it should never go beyond that and it should never go beyond that. beyond that and it
