" follow, and you might be able to see the northern lights tonight in scotland and perhaps even the most positive england and northern ireland, with temperatures of 11 or 12. a warm night in south—east england and east anglia with that cloud and, along with that weather front, there could be some rain first thing. low pressure to the north of the uk will drive in some showers towards the north—west. many places tomorrow start dry with sunshine, that only rain clears and we w

joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. we're in a really good place to bat first.ld 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'm sure the same for gary, as well, for us to start putting our lives back together. moving to football — liverpool and rangers will meet in the champions league group stage, while manchester city's erling haaland is set to face his old club, borussia dortmund. scottish champions celtic are i

our sports correspondent joe wilson is there for us.and it's from stokes today, the question is whether he can combine the response ability of captain and freedom. and we did see that today and we will come to that soon. we have to bear in mind the conditions right at the start of the day certainly he was bowling here for south africa, he is probably the fastest bowler in the world and when he was in the action line it was difficult for him to back zak crawley. the game was kind of in a balance, also a member south africa had a couple of spin bowlers in this spin match simon was the man they brought in so i felt the captain had to use them. so stokes was effectively against the spin bowlers. showed no mercy. there was controlled endings from stokes. so when he came down the wicket to hit this kind of force that became his trademark it seemed like he was doing it at the right time. it seem like he was showing some discussion about when he attacked. and of course like everyone he needed a partner needed someone to support him and we have

lord's for the first of three tests, buoyed by an unbeaten start since ben stokes became captain. joe wilsontokes is clear that the way that england have played test matches this summer has done one crucial thing — it's generated interest. we could have ended up on the wrong side of those four test matches and walked away not winning one game, but what i think we managed to do as a team, which is incredibly powerful and almost rare, we brought a little bit of excitement back to english test cricket, and we would have brought fans along with us regardless of if the result went the wrong way. well, now, south africa have had a very good 2022. already this year, they've won test matches against bangladesh, against, already this year, they've won test matches against bangladesh, against new zealand, against india. and beating england, for their captain, would just be part of their journey. is it your ambition for south africa to be the best test team in the world? no doubt. i didn't take this job - thinking that we were just going to be mid—table and not playing our best cricket. - it's always b
