he will swap places with jason roy, who drops down to number four places with jason roy, who drops down to numberfour in places with jason roy, who drops down to number four in the order. england making changes to have an impact early in the game as they look to take the lead in the series. they have had to play without james anderson for most of the series, and stuart broad knows the fast bowler will be disappointed to miss out on the test at his home ground. he'll obviously be disappointed for a period of time. i had in mind that it was written in the stars he would back and open the bowling at the james anderson end and bolus to victory. that‘s not going to happen. he‘s obviously got a lot of cricket left in him, and he will be different desperate to get that right. australia need to decide who will replace steve smith, the top run scorer, and has recovered from the concussion that saw him miss the third test. romelu lu ka ku has been the subject of racist abuse in italy? the former manchester united striker — romelu lukaku — says football authorities need to do more to tackl

paying the price — after a disappointing ashes, jason roy is dropped as england make changes for the final test. good evening from westminster, where mps today demanded the immediate recall of parliament, following a landmark ruling by scotland's highest civil court. the court of session in edinburgh ruled that the prime minister's decision to suspend the westminster parliament for five weeks was unlawful. they said they were unanimous in their belief that borisjohnson had been motivated by the "improper purpose of stymieing parliament". the case now goes to the uk supreme court next week. downing street said it was disappointed by the ruling and that the prorogation of parliament had been "legal and necessary". our political editor laura kuenssberg reports on today's ruling and its implications. judgment day. in scotland's court of session, a clear verdict on borisjohnson. each opinion expresses the view that the advice given by the government to her majesty the queen to prorogue parliament from 9th september to 14th october was unlawful and that therefore, the prorogation itself is

there's a great picture of jason roy on the back of the times this morning. they've captured him in the midst of what looks like a teenage strop. the guardian shows captainjoe root in training, with the headline "fully focused". and the express is one of the papers reporting discussions in the england squad about walking off the pitch if they receive any racial abuse, "no more" the headline there. andy murray has signed up to play three tournaments in three weeks in china. he's accepted a wildcard for the shanghai masters, which starts on the 5th of october, having already agreed to play in zuhai and beijing in the preceding two weeks. murray returned to singles action last month but he's yet to win a match on the main tour. maisie summers—newton thanked her family for their support, after winning herfirst world pa ra—swimming title. she smashed her own world record to take gold in the 200m individual medley, at the championships in london, adding to the two european titles she won last year. that was one of three golds for great britain on the third day

jason roy was so effective as a one—day batsman during the world cup, but he averaged less than 1a during this series, and he was of course dropped for that final test at the oval. some interesting discussion too around jonny bairstow. again, such a talus for england as a one—day player but he only made 1/2—century across this ashes series, and there are other options challenging him as wicketkeeper as well who might be in line to take his place there. joe denly established himself as a very capable opener, with 94 in the final test, but he's come into this side at the age of 33, that could mean winning the next play test cricket, they give opportunities to the youngsters. now these are some of the most exciting batsmen in county cricket at the moment. 0llie pope did geta cricket at the moment. 0llie pope did get a couple of starts for england during their test series against india last summer but has improved even further this term, and the 21—year—old could bat at number six when england go to new zealand while dominic sibley of warwickshire and zak crawley of kent could also pu

jason roy has also been named in the squad, despite struggling for runs during the series so far. so here's the squad in full: if stokes isn't able to bowl, he'll play as a specialist batsman with england able to call on chris woakes or sam curran to come in as an all—rounder. england can still level the series, even though australia have already retained the ashes although england haven't lost an ashes series on home soil since 2001. with less than a year to go before the tokyo paralympics, this week's para—swimming world championships in london are a huge event on the way to japan. the para athletics worlds will be in dubai in november but swimming is the other big sport at the games. competition has been taking place on monday at the london aquatics centre, and with 25 golds decided on the opening night there were five world record and kate grey has the pick of the action. the thursday of action here in london has provided plenty of exciting racing with multiple world records broken and 13 nations winning golds, just proving the international breadth of paris. three time pa
