england cricketers surround ben stokes after his jaw—dropping catch in the victory over south africa. so that is a flavour of what the front pages have to offer. let's dip into some of them. the telegraph. boris is a good guy. yes indeed, earlier today i to a clip of donald trump calling benjamin that yahoo a good guy as well. the israeli prime minister who has failed to form a coalition government and have triggered another election and israel ball of which is to say that trump feels like he can sprinkle these words like stardust over his mates and assume that it will play favourably. but in the case of boris, maybe not so much because of there is one thing that does unite brexit divided britain, it is dislike for donald trump. in a poll last or, 77% of us expressed dislike for him amongst conservative voters, thatis for him amongst conservative voters, that is 66% was as maybe this is not a big blessing for boris after all. not the first time he is prickled these words over boris because after boris quick cabinet last summer, he broke a call and then said he would like a good promin

so ben stokes brilliantly extinguished. so ben sto kes too k brilliantly extinguished. so ben stokes took over as england's guide, he made 89, his side 311. they would have planned for more. at least it was something to bowl at, and archer gulls at things pretty quickly. he hitan gulls at things pretty quickly. he hit an edge. faf du plessis followed, and later another wicket. south africa's biggest guns taken out by alone archer. that is why they picked him. south africa now had to chase this knowing there were dangers in the deep, but never expecting something this. stokes defying physics, surprising even himself. however often you watch it, you still won't believe it. it will be remembered long after the runs stokes scored in the wicket that finished the match. not everything went to plan, but england and this man have proved that they are flexible. he's had a full day out, and when he does, it's extremely entertaining, and it's great for the game, because we see a lot of him in training, doing stuff like that all the time, and you just shake your head at it because

ben stokes catch, coming upforyou in a news and sport, that ben stokes catch, coming up for you in a few minutes' time. another round of political talks is taking place in northern ireland to try to bring back the devolved government, almost 2.5 years after it collapsed. some of the people who have been worst affected by the crisis are victims who were abused in children's homes. a public inquiry said they should have received compensation, an apology and a memorial, but they are still waiting, and now they want westminster to take action because there are no local ministers. our ireland correspondent chris page has been speaking to abuse survivors. homes like these were supposed to be sanctuaries and shelters where vulnerable children were cared for. but for many young residents they became institutions of fear and suffering. decades on, the survivors of child abuse say the trauma never leaves them. you don't imagine the cruelty that happened to us, so you don't... it is very hard. we have to live with it, every day of our lives. there are some times where i have been five days in b

ben stokes with one of the greatest catches you will ever see. a flash of quite breathtaking brilliance, and victory was in england's sight. and suitably it was stokes that rounded things off. a stunning day for him and an ultimately emphatic win for england. their world cup campaign has started in style. after a ll after all of the hype and expectation, this was an impressive performance by england. yes, it is only the first match of a six week long tournament, but they can head to their next game against pakistan on monday with real confidence. sophie. andy, thank you. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. here comes summer? it is getting warmer over the next few days or so. today we had temperatures in the midlands for example as high as the low 20s, helped by some sunshine, but it wasn't the case everywhere. further north, in northern ireland and scotland, temperatures struggling into double figures in some places and still wet out there at the moment. a lot of the rain will tend to peter out in scotland and northern ireland, so

the paper also makes space for ben stokes's sensational catch in the first game of the men's cricket world cup. and that's the picture lead — perhps unusually — in the ft. england cricketers surround ben stokes after his jaw—dropping catch in the victory over south africa. that step into some of those. claire, this is the telegraph. boris isa claire, this is the telegraph. boris is a good guy. i think the many other tory leadership candidates thought having a milkshake chucked at them was what they had to worry about it. it might be an opportunity next week. the president has just stopped short of formally endorsing boris, but he has called him a good quy boris, but he has called him a good guy and refer to him as a friend. our story calls it a notable breach of convention, but we should remember that he has already broken this protocol last summer when he quit the cabinet after they came out and said he would make a great future prime minister. perhaps it is more poignant that it could be the next prime minister. that was alongside theresa may at a press conference. it was jus

so ben stokes took over as england's quy: ben stokes took over as england's guy, he made 89, they plan for more but at least it was something to ball out in england's new man starts at things pretty quickly, he aided on the edge, following in later. taken out on the edge, following in later. ta ken out by on the edge, following in later. taken out by a lone archer, that is why they picked them. south africa 110w why they picked them. south africa now have to chase this, knowing there are dangers in the deep but never expecting something like this. no way! defied physics and surprised even himself, it will be remembered long after they scored and the wickets that finished the match. not everything went to plan, but england and this man have proved that they are flexible. you will not see anything better than that, not in this world cup or maybe even the whole summer because ben stokes a special anyway, but to pull that off to shows the hard work that he puts on the training ground. anyway, i don't care if you're a cricketer goalkeeper, if you climb onto that, you'll be very happy and th

ben stokes flipped his wrists to restore calm but a flick of the foot was his undoing. the captain had the runs however and gave england victory. and the commission keeps on growing. aston villa are though the championship playoff final after a dramatic win on penalties against west bromwich albion. tammy abraham scored the winning penalty for villa, after the match was level on aggregate after extra time. villa keeperjed steer saved two penalties. they'll play either leeds or derby, who play in the other semi final tomorrow night. the final takes place at wembley on may 27th. manchester city could be banned from the champions league for a season if they're found guilty of breaking financial rules. a ban is thought to be the preferred punishment of uefa investigators. our sports editor dan roan says city would appeal any ban that's handed down. i think it is important to stress that this is only the first stage. the chair of the panel has the final say. as a former belgian prime minister and then it goes to the adjudicatory chamber of uefa. and then maybe even the court

together with ben stokes, england were once again regaining the initiative. the flurry of wickets replaced by boundaries, as they eyed a challenging total. they had to battle, but with morgan offering the crime or catching practice as he reached a typically fiery 50, england fans will be hoping for something special. the latest i can tell you is eoin morgan is out on 57. england now 255 with about eight overs of their innings left. hoping to set a challenging target as they try to get their world cup off to a winning start, clive. andy swiss, thank you from the oval. time for a look at the weather, here's chris fawkes. things are going to get warmer but it isa you go the the cloud gets and for northern ireland and scotland skies will look like this for much of the afternoon. rain
