england needed eight wickets. it went down to the last hour of the final session and guess who england turned to? ben stokes, with three wickets, to help england win in cape town for the first time since 1957 and level the four test series at 1—1. south africa looked to be frustrating england for much of the day with pieter malan batting for almost six hours in the second innings before he fell for 8h. quiton de kock resisted for 3h overs too before he clipped joe denly‘s part time leg spin to mid—wicket. zac crawley‘s juggling act gave ben stokes his second wicket in two balls and the allrounder kept running in — bowling at nearly 90 mph, and he grabbed the last wicket in the final hour. a huge boost for us going forward. test cricket has been a bit of a talking point recently in terms of how many days you can play for but today has shown what should be five days in the first two series is great for the game of cricket. we have a few days off to get our feet up and get our energy back up. hopefully we c

england's day for england's knights. adam wild, bbc news. a little earlier, i spoke to england cricketer kate cross to get her assesment of the days play. she says the bowlers deserve the credit for putting england back on top. i think as an england fan, i'm very happy, especially going into the start of the day. i think there was a lot of talk yesterday about being 100 short in the first inning. so i think when we saw that jimmy anderson wicket at the start of the day, we know the bowlers had a lot of work to do, a lot of hard work. but to be honest, i think they bowled exceptionally well today. there was a middle phase of the game where there was a big partnership that built between vander huson and elgar. so i think that it's actually a good day to be an england bowler, they worked really hard and got the awards. and i think england came out on top. how do you think don beset did? i think he's a bit of an unsung hero today. i can't member how many overs he bulled, but he held up one end and was going under two and over at one point, which

england will have to cope without james anderson for the final two tests of england's tour of south africa. hello and thank you forjoining us. 10 years ago this week one of the most shocking incidents happened to a sports team. togo‘s football team were travelling to the africa cup of nations in angola when they were ambushed by gunmen. two people were killed, with many more injured in the attack, including goalkeeper. he lost his livelihood and nearly his life on that day. and he's among the victims who want the confederation of african football to take responsibility. as victoire ayum reports. just get your reaction to a story that has been breaking, a shooting at the africa cup of nations at the togo team but. to go's football team had just arrived and angola. minutes later, two members of the delegation we re later, two members of the delegation were shot damp. the assistant coach and one other. translation: i heard and one other. translation: i heard a machine—gun. when i tried to move, it was as if i was nailed to the seat. i didn't understand it, but then i saw myself, both my s

so england have their biggest win away from home in more than a decade — and the former england bowler derek pringle says they're moving in the right direction, but their next series in sri lanka will showjust how good they are. i think over the last ten years, england's results overseas have been pretty poor. the exception of that has been south africa. the last time they played pretty well there and this time, they have not won it yet, need to not lose the last test in johannesburg. i think last time in sri lanka they played really well in conditions very different from the one in south africa. it will be interesting to see where they are. i think sri will probably not play on a spinning picture is likely to last time, because that brought every spinner to the game, notjust their own. it will be interesting to see going forward what england will do. test champion points cancels that important cricket. we will have an idea where the young side are once they have toured sri lanka. they are doing well at the moment. hopefully, that confidence can't go forward to not only be test next we

southern england and into wales, the strongest winds are really across northern england and scotland, but likely to bring some disruption. as we go through tuesday evening, we keep those strong winds across scotland, starting to ease further south, we have got a band of cloud and rain just sliding its way southwards, that rain becoming increasingly patchy. but wintry showers starting to develop across scotland and quite a range in temperature come first thing wednesday morning. very mild across central southern england and wales, but turning much colder further north. there's still some strong winds across scotland as we go into wednesday, keeping an eye on this system here, pushing some rain into south—west england later in the day on wednesday. but most of us will see some sunshine around on wednesday. legacy of cloud clearing from southern england through wednesday morning, wintry showers piling into scotland, and then through wednesday afternoon we start to see cloud and rain starting to nudge into wales and south—west england. still in some fairly mild air across central sou

but england stuck to their guns the balance. but england stuck to theirguns in the balance. but england stuck to their guns in the process, absolutely stunning, ben stokes change the momentum of the game with his 72 and the man himself, the last hour, when you want something from the special players ben stokes held his hand up, absolutely brilliant, took the last three wickets, what a victory by england and away soil. they have not won many in the last 20 odd games so brilliant performance, they will gain in confidence from that, and what a tea m confidence from that, and what a team effort. and the mental strength from england's point of you coming back from that first test defeat to level the series, it sets up fascinatingly. england are in a transitional stage. you have got some young players making their way into the side. they were gaining confidence. a brilliant performance by england especially after the first innings, it was all doom and gloom but we fought hard, showed them what we are capable of and well done to simply, to bat like that, the stubbornness and mental

england and wales. the winds will ease tonight but the rain keeps going in the south—east and east anglia, it could turn heavier. clear skies elsewhere, showers pushing into the north—west, it could be quite icy, and there could be a touch of frost for the far north of england and northern ireland. into tomorrow, rain early in the morning should push in from south—eastern areas, sunshine and if you showers on the breeze, most of them towards the north—west of scotland, snow levels rising through the day but still quite windy. elsewhere, breezy, a brief respite from the wet and windy weather. slightly cooler air covers much of the uk, temperatures of seven or 8 degrees. it is only a brief respite because in the atlantic there is another area of low pressure which looks a bit complicated and messy, it is gathering across the west of the uk. it will probably start dry further east end may stay dry until the evening, added to the west we get the weather action, winds picking up through the irish sea

it does mean we finish the day in south—west england, wales, northern england with a greater potential for some sunshine. a few showers in northern england hotels in scotland, northern ireland, maybe wintry over the tops of the scottish mountains. temperatures drop away a little bit through the afternoon but not as windy for the evening rush hour as it will be for the morning one. as we go into the evening, that rain spreads across east anglia and the south—east, clear skies for a time, a brief dip in temperature. roll out a touch of frost and there but temperatures rise late as more wet and windy weather spreads its way in from the west. and that's this area of low pressure. the next one, a deeper bigger area of low pressure, winds are stronger, extent further away from the centre, which will still be around iceland, producing snow here, but for us dragging an exactly mild air from the mid atlantic, rocketing temperatures from what will have been a chilly start for some in the south—east. here though it should stay dry and bright through much of the day. it is northern england, sc

, they are all desperate to play for england, they want england to win. so that is a unifying force. today's england squad announcement here at twickenham was all about trying to look ahead towards the new international season, but the club game finds itself in the grip of an unprecedented crisis and with premiership rugby refusing to publish the full report into the affair, many fear there could be more damaging revelations still to come. the lack of transparency doesn't end there. saracens apparently choosing to accept automatic relegation rather than grant full access to their financial accounts. i think if saracens are serious about becoming open and trying to sort of claw back some of the goodwill or whatever you want to call it, then they need to make this public, they need to get all the dirty laundry out there and i think that will go some way to letting people start to forgive them. the dominant force in the english game, saracens' dramatic downfall has sent shock waves through the sport. their players must somehow now shift their focus from club

southern england and into wales, the strongest winds really are across northern england and scotland, but likely to bring some disruption. as we go through tuesday evening, we keep those strong winds across scotland, starting to ease further south, we have got a band of cloud and rain just sliding its way southwards across england and wales, that rain becoming increasingly patchy. but wintry showers starting to develop across scotland and quite a range in temperature come first thing wednesday morning. very mild across central southern england and wales, but turning much colder further north. there's still some strong winds across scotland as we go into wednesday, keeping an eye on this system here, pushing some rain into south—west england later in the day on wednesday. but most of us will see some sunshine around on wednesday. legacy of cloud clearing from southern england through wednesday morning, wintry showers piling into scotland, and then through wednesday afternoon we start to see cloud and rain starting to nudge into wales and south—west england. still in some fairly mi

he opened england's batting, not easy. he played because rory burns had to hurt himself playing football. south africa don't need extra help, and england's training football games are now banned. there batting here was stop start or start stop. going for 34. captain joe was stop start or start stop. going for 34. captainjoe route deflected the ball to the wicketkeeper he made 35. he is a frustrating numbers —— these are frustrating numbers. joe gently did so much hard work and then... 38 for him. still, step forward bend stokes. a good firm hit. these are the moments you realise so many of cape town's spectators were england fans. it isa town's spectators were england fans. it is a very dryjanuary in that son. stokes did next, or perhaps don't. besides, still couldn't believe it. going for 27. england cosmic intermittent endings threatened to stop. that was current gone. they got to 262 for nine, thanks mainly to all the pope, just turning 22. his innings weren't quite table mounted, it was high enough to give england

england ?|j finally, on tomorrow, what can we expect from england? i would like to say they can get towards 300, that would be a really good effort from 260 odd with one wicket. a lot of that depends on jimmy 260 odd with one wicket. a lot of that depends onjimmy anderson just sticking around and ollie pope playing his shots when he gets the opportunity. the big thing for me is using that new ball really well, once they get bowled out. if they can get south africa 100— that will be great, put their middle order, who are relatively inexperienced, under pressure and england might be well in this game. graham onions speaking to me a little earlier. let's look at some of the other stories making the sports news today. marnus labu—shane scored his fourth century in his last five tests as australia took control of the 3rd test against new zealand in sydney. he finished unbeaten on 130 as they closed day1 on 283—3. rhys webb will be eligible to play for wales in this year's six nations. the scru

england won by 189 runs in the final hour for a first victory at newlands since 1957. ben stokes proved the difference yet again taking the last three wickets in just over four overs helping to dismiss the hosts for 248. on debut pieter malan top scored with 84 from 288 balls for the proteas, who resisted until the end, with the four—match series level at 1—1 ahead of the third test starting at port elizabeth on the 16th of january. south africa's captain admits the better side won. the challenge that we had to our group last night and this morning was that we would fight with everything that we've got within us to try and make england do anything and everything to beat us and they have. they have thrown the kitchen sink at us and, just towards the end of the day, unfortunately there needed to be a loser, which has been a fantastic five days of test cricket, where both teams were on top in some sessions, and some sessions were on par, but probably for the majority of the test match england in were better than us. fast bowlerjames anderson could be a doubt for the t

that meant they still trailed england by almost 300 runs but were put back in, and the england wickets kept coming. ollie pope took this brilliant catch at short range. that was off the bowling of captainjoe root who took 4/31. south africa would assume on the final day and england will have the rain stays away for long enough so they can ta ke away for long enough so they can take a 2—1 lead in the four test series. saracen say they will learn from their mistakes and hope to rebuild trust and confidence after accepting the relegation from the premiership at the end of the season for breaking salary regulations. they qualified for the quarter—finals of the champions cup with a win today. number eight billion in apollo was injured and could now miss the six nations for england. the director of rugby admitted afterwards it had been a tough week for the club but the focus was now on the future. it has been extremely difficult for everybody in the group. i guess the one thing we do have now is a bit of clarity. with clarity you can start to make a plan. which is not something we have b

who was your money on shallow definitely england. —— who is your money on? definitely england. we've had eight results in the premier league. steve bruce... the newcastle and chelsea, this has been a season defined so far by differing degrees of inconsistency. newcastle on much of inconsistency. newcastle on much of their ups of inconsistency. newcastle on much of theirups and of inconsistency. newcastle on much of their ups and downs to injuries. ten minutes into the lesson they wa nted ten minutes into the lesson they wanted happen. the latest of the injuries. with steve bruce nero was for others to stand up. the crossbar providing the insult to go with that injury. the second half, newcastle for attrition may have grown even further. —— frustration might have grown. tim abraham can even closer —— tammy abraham. nothing is ever predictable. three minutes of injury time stub isaac hayden doing what no one else had managed all afternoon. stjames one else had managed all afternoon. st james park collected. one else had managed all afternoon. stjames park collected. the o

actually coincided with england's upturn in form in south africa. mark wood came in for the last match and bowled around 90mph.. england would love the option of a second bowler who can do the same. he's been stepping up his recovery in the nets today — and impressed assistant coach graham thorpe. he bowled well today, these speeds we re he bowled well today, these speeds were good, 6—7 overs, sojust getting his rhythm, and he suffered with his elbow in the last couple of weeks, but that pain is decreasing. on the evidence to date, that is good, and we will see how he backs it up again tomorrow. britain's chris froome will make his return to competitive cycling next month, at the uae tour, as he continues his recovery from career—threatening injuries suffered last summer. the four time tour de france winner broke his leg, hip and fractured ribs, when he crashed into a wall at high speed during a training ride at the criterium du dauphine in france last summer. and we'll leave you with this, as the british freestyle skier kirsty muir has won bi

almost a perfect day for england really. it was a slightly tricky situation for them to start with and pope and route needed to put together a partnership to post a good total, but unfortunately for pope, he got out and lack one followed soon after. they were probably aspiring to... but then the final wicket partnership between broad and word was exceptional. 82 injust over eight broad and word was exceptional. 82 in just over eight overs, which was quite brilliant and got england to 400, which is a good score in any game and any test match and it allowed england to put south africa under pressure. to have them 88 — six for the close is impressive. what did you make of england's performance in batting? throughout the series, they have improved, certainly in batting. you have got some young guys, certainly in batting. you have got some young guys, some contributions from young lads who have made test centuries, which bodes well for them going forward. so they will take a lot of confidence going into the dragon series, but h

he opened england's batting — not easy. edged and gone. crawley played because rory burns had hurt himself playing football. south africa don't need extra help. and england's training session football games are now banned. their batting here was stop—stop, or start—stop. dom sibley gone for 34. captain joe root deflected the ball with his glove to the wicketkeeper. he made 35. these are frustrating numbers. joe denly again did so much hard work and then... bowled him! 38 for him. still, step forward, ben stokes. good, firm hit. these were the moments when you realise so many of cape town's spectators were england fans. well, it is a very dry january in that sun. watch what stokes did next, or perhaps don't. he saw it but still couldn't believe it. caught and gone for 47. england's intermittent innings threatened to fully stop. that was curran gone. they got to 262—9, thanks mainly to 0lly pope, just turned 22. his innings wasn't quite table mountain, but it was high enough to give england some hope. 56 not out. joe wilson, bbc news.

england's lead is beyond 250. any more madness and magic, it will be impossible for south africa to catch up. chelsea extended their unbeaten women's super league run to 10 matches today and their new high profile signing, sam kerr, had a significant part to play as they beat reading by 3 goals to 1. they're now four points behind the league leaders arsenal with a game in hand. miriam walker—khan reports. two years of conversations led to this moment. a player megan rapinoe called the best in the world is making a new home at kings meadow. her first chance in the game camejust a minute in. and it was out of character. reading have been called the "comeback queens" this season, and as another strike came in, it was overshadowed seconds later at the opposite end by reading's grace maloney storming out of the net to take out sam kerr. not the warmest welcome to english football. but sam kerr wasn't dwelling on it. a cheeky back heel assist to another player, who was composed enough to get it around the keeper and e

england's day for england's knights. adam wild, bbc news. the third round of the fa cup is the point at which premier league and championship teams join the competition. it's time to pop out of the room if you don't want to know what happened in today's games as match of the day fa cup highlights follow soon on bbc one. the result of the day came at vicarage road where tranmere rovers, who are struggling in league one, came back from 3—0 down, to draw 3—3 with the premier league side, watford. paul mullin scored the penalty equaliser to make sure his side got a replay. a mixture of youth and experience helped rochdale earn their equaliser in a 1—1 draw against newcastle united. the league one side's 40—year—old substitute, aaron wilbra ham, scored in the 79th minute, the pass to him coming from 17—year—old luke matheson. all of the day's results and the goals are on the bbc sport website. these are selected results. two premier league sides were knocked out of the third round today — brighton and aston villa. holders, manches

eastern parts of england seeing the best of the sunshine here. strong and gusty winds quite widely, perhaps easing off in the north—west later on as the rain starts to clear and temperatures drop away. ahead of that, we're looking at 11—13 degrees. very mild once again. now, that weather front will eventually take that rain across the whole of the country on saturday night, and then we'll introduce this showery airstream coming in from the atlantic, and that will bring in with it some cooler air as well. not too cold to start the second half of the weekend because there'll be a fair bit of around. we've still got temperatures perhaps in double figures across the south—east. colder air in scotland certainly. we've still rain to clear from south—eastern england first thing on sunday, and then a fair bit of and showers coming in, even pushing eastwards across england and wales. that's the morning. in the afternoon, most of those have gone. the showers restricted more towards the north—west of scotland, where it is quite a bit colder. tempe

we will see more cloud arriving into northern england and the midlands. another cloudy, breezy day across northern ireland and for most on tuesday a much cloudier day, a colder—feeling day as well. for central, southern england, temperatures here not much higher than six or seven celsius. here's this area of hig hpressure still with us as we go into wednesday, a longer, drier spell for much of the uk, in the week ahead. it does not necessarily mean sunny weather. a good deal of cloud around on wednesday. underneath the area of high pressure, we're feeding in a lot of moisture and we can see some mist and murkiness and poor visibility. best chance of anything brighter will be along some eastern coasts. temperatures around nine or ten degrees celsius. so to sum up the week ahead, a lot of dry weather. some frosty nights, particularly at first. a bit of sunshine but generally a lot of cloud and also further problems with mist and fog. goodbye. welcome to bbc news — i'm maryam moshiri. our top stories: prince harry speaks publicly for the first time since

in netball, england have lost to new zealand. emily croydon was a lead. england had an experimental team here, there are also getting used to a new coaching setup, but this was a good opportunity for them to challenge new zealand, the world champion. they were lacking a lot of the experience of the squad that won on the world cup back injuly, i think lee arouses will be disappointed they don't have a bit more to show today, despite a few promising moments on the court. you could feel the buzz are still from the world cup, with england to shooters taking a break from international netball, they struggle to forge a partnership in a light shooting circle, they try different combinations but early cardwell was really the only one who took her opportunity. stacy francis was good in defence, she was out for a long time under tracey neville, great to see her back and performing well. 0verall, england fell well short of world champions, were lacking let fluidity and consistency in the shooting end. the third quarter was where the real damage was done, the ceiling

yet another pause has been recommended for trains in the north of england. today's leaked hs2 review not only suggest that the final price tag could be bigger than the education budget, at £106 billion, but that it is another amber light for the line when it reaches birmingham. it was supposed to split at that point, with two branches heading to manchester and leeds. but this review suggests finding out if a mix of high speed unconventional trains could be used for the upper sections instead. london on the south gets whatever it wants, and then it is all about a penny pinching in the north. i would say this to the prime minister and the government might 90, minister and the government might go, this is yourfirst big test minister and the government might go, this is your first big test of your commitment to the north of england. we are watching very closely. you know, in my mind, there is no justification at all for doing one thing between london and birmingham and then doing something different in the north. business leaders in the north are chomping at th

england in no rush to make a decision. don't want to go into again with her not being 100% we also don't want to potentially see him missa also don't want to potentially see him miss a lot more cricket through playing and when he is not fit to play. so being really clear about where he is at and making it a balanced decision on the side off the back of it. but some never to haveissues the back of it. but some never to have issues to address and questions to answer. for the country in the cricket team than they would not go away. no place in the side for one player and with some asking if the colour was treading away from the team. we don't see colour. you be the first got to acknowledge he got a really good opportunity. cannot point any fingers of that. and now it is important obviously for the general game in this country to keep producing good cricketers from either colour. i know what asking and there will be things in place and there will be things in place and people in place to make sure we keep producing players of

england champions in the nations cup. had an experimenté here, england had an experimental team here, they are also getting used to a new coaching set up, but this was a new coaching set up, but this was a good opportunity for them to challenge new zealand, the world champions. they were lacking a lot of experience and at the squad that they won the back in the world cup injuly. this arena was full, you could feel the buzz still from the world cup, but with england's to regular shooters taking a break from international netball, they really struggle to forge a partnership in that shooting circle. they tried a few different combinations about early ca rdwell was few different combinations about early cardwell was the only one who took her opportunity. experienced defenders, but some are hotly fold with tracey neville. overall, england fell well short of the world champions, just lacking that fluidity and consistency in the shooting end. the third quarter was when the real damage was done, this long stretch down to a ten goal lead, after that, england could do very little about it in at

southern england and into wales, the strongest winds really are across northern england and scotland, but likely to bring some disruption. as we go through tuesday evening, we keep those strong winds across scotland, starting to ease further south, we have got a band of cloud and rain just sliding its way southwards across england and wales, that rain becoming increasingly patchy. but wintry showers starting to develop across scotland and quite a range in temperature come first thing wednesday morning. very mild across central southern england and wales, but turning much colder further north. there's still some strong winds across scotland as we go into wednesday, keeping an eye on this system here, pushing some rain into south—west england later in the day on wednesday. but most of us will see some sunshine around on wednesday. legacy of cloud clearing from southern england through wednesday morning, wintry showers piling into scotland, and then through wednesday afternoon we start to see cloud and rain starting to nudge into wales and south—west england. still in some fairly mi

the bank of england has held interest rates at 0.75%. there was speculation that rates could be cut, but mr carney — after his final interest rate meeting as governor — said the most recent signs are that global growth has stabilised. the prime minister is holding crucial talks on the future of the controversial hs2 railway this evening. the government appears poised to give the scheme the go ahead after chancellor sajid javid signalled his support, despite the project‘s mounting costs. the high speed line would link london with birmingham and then on to northern england. here‘s our political editor, laura kuenssberg. over here is a line of trees and hedgerows that run along the edge of calveryjubilee nature reserve. these will all be taken out by hs2. big projects will always affect someone‘s backyard. there will be a swath of the nature reserve that is taken away. lindsay batham is one of many who fear the project of the buckinghamshire countryside. but the diggers have long been at work. billions have already been poured int

much of england and wales dry. showers getting going across scotla nd showers getting going across scotland and northern ireland to finish the day and take us into tonight. some of those could be on the heavy side, can't rule out the odd rumble of thunder, but temperatures holding up. i'll start for the weekend with temperatures 6— 10 degrees as we start saturday morning. showers in the far north of england, much of england and wales dry and bright before we see some rain spread erratically across those southernmost counties. scotland and northern ireland, a different day tomorrow. much more cloud and more in the way of showers at times. some sunshine and cooling around in the far north later. for most of you, when the sun is out, it should feel quite lessened. temperatures still into double figures, not quite as high as those of today. in northern scotland, the winds falling late into saturday night. we could see a frost, frost free further south because more cloud and more rain starting to push its way and as w

england captainjoe root says having young players are stepping up is an exciting place to be after england went to— one up against south africa in their test series. england completed an innings victory in port elizabeth, grabbing the four wickets they needed on the fourth morning of they needed on the fourth morning of the third test. there were centuries from ben stokes and ollie pope in the first innings and five wickets from dom bess. route was understandably happy. right from the start of the opening partnerships out of the game up. challenging conditions. different conditions. still challenging in many ways. it was quite hard to score. at no point did they let them backin score. at no point did they let them back in the game. there were times where i didn't quite happen as fluently where i didn't quite happen as flu e ntly as where i didn't quite happen as fluently as we would have liked. the partnership between ben and ali were something else. really pleasing for ben to continue the form he has been in. he is outstanding. fora ben to continue the form he has been in. he is outstan

some start for him, some for england. let's get more on this now from for england batsman jonathan trott, who was particularly impressed with 0llie pope's maiden test century the thing that struck me and impressed me hugely, he didn't feel he had to play like ben stokes, he was very, very comfortable himself. he took the attack to the south africans but also, when you lose the momentum and then jos africans but also, when you lose the momentum and thenjos buttler came in and got out as well, for a young man, the way he marshalled the rest of the innings and we saw the flamboyance at the end where he was ramping apace guys of the keeper when all the fillers were back, but also the mindset that he didn't change too much and feel like you had to do something different. he's just 22, how close to you think england are to cracking that? we have rory burns side as well, he would come in and add to the top order so hopefully, crawley can get a few runs and get confident playing international cricket. straightaway, within a coupl

lions caps and things like that, something i will look back on with pride but i think 2007 against england, the last game of the six nations, we played for the wooden spoon and i moved to town which is, iforth i play my best by which is, iforth i play my best rugby and —— ten and just felt really i had arrived on the international scene. i think one that always sticks out is a world cup semifinal, i was tough one to ta ke cup semifinal, i was tough one to take andi cup semifinal, i was tough one to take and i still look back and think what if? but it was really tough, it is not one you like to talk about too much, but that was definitely the low point of my career and i'm sure a the low point of my career and i'm surea number of the low point of my career and i'm sure a number of welsh fans would say the same. my my oldest boy is absolutely fair going on after school and he asked ifi going on after school and he asked if i could go and get a book and i said yes, he wanted a rugby book. i was shocked because there was no by was shocked because there was no rugby book fair, it was all fo

a bit more cloud across east anglia and southeast england. but light winds for many. quite a windy day, though, across the northern and western scotland. but these gusts could touch 50 or 55 miles an hour at ten or 11 celsius here or like six to nine celsius elsewhere, but closer to freezing where that fog is slow to clear. and another cold and frosty start to tuesday morning across central and southern england. but gradually, those frost will start to lift as the week wears on. this is tuesday. high pressure still with us. this frontal system trying to push its way southward, but running into an area of high pressure. so really no rain on it, butjust a lot more cloud around on tuesday. again, some problems with overnight mist and fog. a cloudy day for many, but still some bright or sunny spells, the best of which will be along eastern coast. and where that fog is slow to clear, again, it's going to be quite a cold day on tuesday across parts of england and wales. but getting closer to double figures across parts of scotland and northern irel

southern england and into wales, the strongest winds are really across northern england and scotland but likely to bring some disruption. as we go through tuesday evening we keep those strong winds across scotland, starting to ease further south, we have got a band of cloud and rain sliding its way southwards, that rain becoming increasingly patchy. wintry showers starting to develop across scotland and quite a range in temperature come first thing wednesday morning. very mild across central southern england and wales, turning colder further north. there are still some strong winds across scotland as we go into wednesday, keep an eye on this system here, pushing some rain into south—west england later in the day on wednesday. most of us will see some sunshine around on wednesday. legacy of cloud clearing from southern england through wednesday morning, wintry showers piling into scotland, and through wednesday afternoon we start to see cloud and rain starting to nudge into wales and south—west england. still in some fairly mild air across central southern england and into wales,

a mountain to climb for england. well, history suggests so. they haven't won a test in cape town since 1957. injury, illness and that first test defeat offering much to chew over. we had frustrating moments on the tour so far we had frustrating moments on the tourso farand we we had frustrating moments on the tour so far and we have to deal with it as best we can and make sure whoever gets the opportunity will put in absolutely everything and give us a great chance to win. if they are too when they have to do it with a depleted side. just how depleted remains to be seen. jofra archer is a doubt and now another blow. 0pener rory burns was the top scorer in the first test for england, and the 84 look like it mightjust save england, and the 84 look like it might just save them. england, and the 84 look like it mightjust save them. he turned his effo rts mightjust save them. he turned his efforts to football in training, turning his ankle and now taking his turning his ankle and now taking his turn on the physio table. a twisted ankle and crossed

then ben stokes scored england's quickest double century, 258 from him in one of england's most extraordinary innings of recent yea rs. most extraordinary innings of recent years. a repeat of such high scoring is unlikely this time around but at newlands, cricket always looks spectacular. adam wild, bbc news. the washington redskins presented ron rivera as their new head coach as he looks to get the nfl franchise to the play offs for the first time in five years. he spent the past nine seasons as head coach of the carolina panthers, taking them to the super bowl in 2015 this is one of the almost original teams. started in 1932. there's a lot of history behind this football tea m lot of history behind this football team and in orderfor us to get back to where we want to be, we have to study and embrace that history and prepare to repeat that history, because if not then we're doomed to repeat the most recent history and we're not going to do that, guys, we're not going to do that, guys, we' re really we're not going to do that, guys, we're really not. everything we are going to do is about win

, they are all desperate to play for england, they want england to win. so that is a unifying force. today's england squad announcement here at twickenham was all about trying to look ahead towards the new international season, but the club game finds itself in the grip of an unprecedented crisis and with premiership rugby refusing to publish the full report into the affair, many fear there could be more damaging revelations still to come. the lack of transparency doesn't end there. saracens apparently choosing to accept automatic relegation rather than grant full access to their financial accounts. i think if saracens are serious about becoming open and trying to sort of claw back some of the goodwill or whatever you want to call it, then they need to make this public, they need to get all the dirty laundry out there and i think that will go some way to letting people start to forgive them. the dominant force in the english game, saracens' dramatic downfall has sent shock waves through the sport. their players must somehow now shift their focus from club

but now it was england's turn to toil. removing dean elgar to the thinnest of edges and hamza to a rather more obvious one. they host 162 at the close and england are clear favourites, but a gripping final day is the only guarantee. what a day forjohn sibley. he said he was still trying to ta ke sibley. he said he was still trying to take in his first test century. this ground is amazing and to score a hundred here was, you know the atmosphere it was just stokes said to contain, enjoy it for a second. it simplyv to contain, enjoy it for a second. it simply v blah now, but i certainly enjoyed it at the time. meawhile, australia have completed a 3—0 series whitewash over new zealand in sydney. chasing an unlikely a21 to win, new zealand were reeling on 38 for 5 after ross taylor was dismissed, that after becoming the kiwis all time leading test run scorer. nathan lyon then sealed the win for the aussies, by taking his second five wicket haul of the match. staying with cricket, plenty of celebrities have backed the huge eff

it is through parts of england. it is through parts of england and wales were going to see good sunny spells on saturday but another windy day. sunday, good sunny spells on saturday but anotherwindy day. sunday, more good sunny spells on saturday but another windy day. sunday, more wet weather pushing north here. a bit of snow to the higher parts of the pennines, the hills and mountains in scotland. behind that, sunshine, a few showers, blustery and mild to the south. turning a bit cold to watch scotland. —— a bit cold towards scotland. the whole world needs to be on alert — the official warning as the number of infections from the coronavirus in china reaches more than 7,000. as the death toll continues to rise, some families face an agonising decision over who can leave and who must stay. would you be willing to leave your family behind to go to safety? it's a very hard... it's a very hard and moral question because my daughter is only four years old. 7,000 passengers and crew are trapped on a cruise ship in

this is trumpeter billy cooper's last test after 16 years of playing for england. was he soundtracking the end credits already? this is vernon philander's last test for south africa, and he didn't last long this morning, more than 300 runs behind. no point looking back, thought quinton de kock, as england made them wait and chase but it's difficult to get away from mark wood. that was so quick it not only bowled him but broke one of his bales. wood smashed 35 yesterday, now five wickets to go with it. south africa 183 all out. england could have made the south africans bat again, but instead decided to have a go themselves to further stretch tiring limbs. south africa stuck at it, to their credit. that noise will not have helped the migrainejoe denly has been suffering, and headaches around jos buttler‘s batting are not going away. soon england were batting on a cushion of 400 runs, a lead that should secure the series. the hard work has been done, and they still have two days to finish the job. over to the australian open now, where15—year—old coco gauff‘s
