and of course it is the first day of the fifth and final men�*s ashes test.here will be a lot of cloud at the oval, could be a passing shower, could be heavy in the afternoon but nothing too persistent. into friday, a fair amount of dry weather. the breeze coming in from a south—westerly direction so sunny spells and the odd shower coming and going in the breeze, and temperatures between 18 and 2a degrees on friday. waiting in the wings is the next area of low pressure. it tracks its way northwards through the course of the weekend so it will bring more showery rain, particularly towards the north, and it will be breezy in the north, and it will be breezy in the south too, so things staying unsettled until the start of august. thank you, sarah. and that�*s bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. hello and welcome to sportsday. i�*m sarah mulkerrins. japan and spain cruise through to the knockout stages of the women�*s world cup — becoming the first teams to book their places in last 16. england name an unchanged 1

and it�*ll be similar story as well for the men�*s ashes.riday evening, it will be a relatively quiet one. during the early hours of saturday, we�*ve got this front pushing in from the south—west, but temperatures not falling very far. it�*s going to be a humid night, an uncomfortable nght for getting a good night�*s sleep, particularly in the south—east, as temperatures only as low as 18—19 celsius. and with that front continuing to move in from the south—west, bumping into that humid air, that has the potential to spark off some sharp, thundery downpours. they will drift their way steadily north and east, so saturday will not be a wash—out by any means. but if you do have outdoor plans, it�*s worth bearing in mind that there could be some interruptions with some sharp showers. top temperatures as we go through saturday still on the warm side at 20—24 degrees, maybe 27 across parts of east anglia and the south—east. need to keep a close eye on sunday. there�*s a risk of some really sharp, thundery downpours moving up from france, butjust wh

for the northern isles, but it is, of course, the first day of the fifth and final test in the men�*s ashesistent rains, so there should be plenty of play, as there should be as we head into friday, as well. now, overnight, then, into friday, most of the showers fade away, mostly dry, just some rain lingering up towards the northern isles. but again, it�*s a humid night, so temperatures for most of us sitting in the mid—teens. that�*s how we start friday morning, some sunshine from the word go. it will be the better day, i think, of thursday and friday. so, yes, it�*s still a few showers, but more sunshine around, and the showers will move through fairly quickly. top temperatures, a little bit warmer than recent days, 18—24 celsius. still a bit colder than that, though, for lerwick, sitting there atjust 15. into the weekend, low pressure drifts eastwards across the northern half of the uk, plenty of showers wrapped around the area of low pressure. we�*ve got another one actually waiting out in the wings, as well. so an unsettled picture, fairly blustery weekend, showers around, a bit drier

cricket and the fifth and final men s ashes test of the summer is under way at the oval.ter a bright start the hosts lost three quick wickets. of course this match matters, look into the eyes of these players, it's the ashes, there is always motivation, like limiting australia post—match celebrations. a draw of 2-2 post—match celebrations. a draw of 2—2 sounds better than losing it 3—1 and on the balance of the series england will feel maybe that is the least they deserve. sack rowley back into his rhythm. remember has match defining innings in the last test match which was won by the weather? ben duckett always likes to try quickly, they are the type that the captains admire. look at this, look left at screen, crawley and umpire, evasive action. both england's opening batters enjoyed fortune, both were dropped. can't fault steve smith was my agility here. on 41 duckett was caught. that touched his glove, revealed by the review. crawley on 22 and this time steve smith held on, catching is always a crucial part of the cricket, well worth the pain. coming here, regret on th

but of course, for the men�*s ashes and for the open golf that continues, the weather is looking, i thinkally from the word go, it affects western parts of the uk. gales developing down towards the southwest in particular. but wherever you are it�*s going be a blustery day with that rain spreading eastwards, i thinkjust the far north of scotland getting away with some slightly quieter weather there. temperatures between about 17 to 19 degrees for most of us on saturday. and it looks like low pressure lingers into sunday as well. so here it is, just slowly edging its way eastwards. quite a few isobars on the map. so a spell of blustery weather for sunday into monday. we�*ve still got the tail end of that area of low pressure as well. so it is looking a little bit up and down for sunday and into monday. some sunshine, but also some scattered, blustery and at times fairly heavy showers. bye— bye. live from london. this is bbc news. ? moscow moscow announces moscow announces restriction on british diplomats in russia. they say it�*s a response to the hostile action that the uk government.

ashes series at 1—1. meanwhile, sri lanka have guaranteed a place at the men�*s 50—over world cup in india later this yearrecord before the game, by nine wickets in bulawayo. after bowling zimbabwe out for 165 in under 33 overs, they knocked off the runs needed in almost exactly the same time, pathum nissanka ending on 101 not out. zimbabwe can still qualify if they beat scotland on tuesday. novak djokovic might not be the number one seed at wimbledon, but there�*s still a feeling that he�*s the one to beat. not only is he attempting to equal roger federer�*s record of eight titles, he�*s also still on course for the first calendar grand slam in sa years. and, while carlos alcaraz is ahead of him in the rankings, djokovic isn�*t thinking about who might stand in his way. i don�*t need to have carlos or anybody else really to find that extra drive and motivation when i enter slams because i know that i have to win seven matches to win a title. so whoever i get to face across the net is, you know, it doesn�*t make a difference for me. the tournament starts on monday, with women�*s number one seed iga swiate
