not much went right for england in brisbane last week, losing the opening test by nine wickets. that was without their leading wicket—takers, stuart broad and james anderson, but both are in the i2—man squad for tomorrow. patrick gearey reports. it started with a miss. rory burns comprehensively bowled first ball, england comprehensively beaten first test. so, where next? go towards the light. the match in adelaide will be a day—night event played partly under floodlights and entirely with the pink ball, an advantage england feel is so significant, they rested their greatest bowler to prepare for it. since i knew i wasn't playing at brisbane, i've just been working hard with the pink ball trying to figure out what works and what doesn't, whether it swings at certain times of the day or whatever else to try and get an edge on this week, but for me i'lljust be preparing the same as i would for a red ball game. then shortly afterwards, i he strikes over the heart... english bowlers where once so successful in adelaide, they caused a diplomatic incident. this was the ground wh

england flop again, as a travis ton helps australia rack up the runs in brisbane. covid checks at your club. fans will have to prove they've been double—jabbed, or test negative, following new government guidance. plus, "deliberate harrassment and dangerous bullying". jockey robbie dunne is found guilty of targeting bryony frost. also coming up in the programme... he's sitting just ahead of hamilton with more wins, but will max verstappen get more points? we'll hear from the red bull team principal, ahead of the last race of the season. it's an amazing thing for formula one, and i'm sure it's probably going to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest sporting event of the year. welcome to the programme. after the embarrassment of the first day of the ashes, england fans might have been hoping a change in the weather would inspire their bowlers to make an impact. but not to be. australia piled on the runs, finishing the second day on 343—7, leading england by 196 runs, and leaving the visitors with an almost impossible task to get anything out of this first tes

and — england's cricketers slump to a 9—wicket defeat in the first ashes test, in brisbane. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. dozens of people are feared dead in the us state of kentucky after a series of tornadoes wreaked havoc across a wide area. the tornadoes tore through the us states arkansas, kentucky, and into part of illinois on friday night. in illinois an amazon warehouse collapsed in the storm. a rescue operation is taking place to find survivors. the governor of kentucky says as many as a hundred people could die in the state as a result of a series of tornadoes sweeping across the region. the governor andy beshear described it as the worst in the state's history. so first, just trying to confirm this figure of more than 50 feared dead in kentucky, according to the governor. yes, i fear that there are more than 50 dead in kentucky. the confirmation on each individual is coming in, but we are going to lose over 50 people, a lot closer to somewhere between 70 and 100. it is devastating. the governor also gave details of a manufactu

there is still talk about the current skipperjoe root�*s decisions a week on from brisbane. why did he bat first? why did he pick neither anderson or stuart broad? the captain insists he doesn't look back in anger. you look at how the pitch played on that fourth day, you think you're looking at a different game. it's unlike previous tours leaving brisbane where we been absolutely battered and completely on the wrong end of the result. nonetheless, australia are one—up, but now a bowler down. josh hazelwood's injury robs them of their metronomic heartbeat, but they're heading to a ground where they won seven out of the last eight tests. it's my favourite place to play in australia. it's always, you know, we are always really welcome here at the stadium. we think the wicket�*s fantastic, it's super consistent, always a fair battle between the bat and ball and we love playing here. adelaide is undoubtedly a cricketing beauty spot. england need the day—night test to mark a turning point. to get back in the series when the southern sun sets, they must rise. patrick gearey,

they are 220—2 going into the fourth day in brisbane. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the government is warning of a deeply concerning situation as new data confirms that the new omicron variant in the uk is growing rapidly in all regions, and could be the dominant strain here within the next week. the uk health security agency is suggesting that vaccine protection against mild symptoms has been substantially reduced, but that boosters are effective. here's our medical editor fergus walsh. the omicron variant is spreading incredibly fast, despite our highly immunised population. the growth rate is higher than last christmas, when very few had been vaccinated and the alpha variant hit. new data shows that if you have had two doses of vaccine more than three months ago, it is unlikely to prevent you getting infected with omicron or stop you from passing it on. but if you had a booster, it is likely to give 75% protection against a mild infection with omicron. that booster should give even greater immunity against severe di

cricket and england have had an abysmal start to this year's ashes series against australia in brisbane. they won the toss and chose to bat but were bowled out for 147. rory burns became only the second player in ashes history to be out to the first ball of the series. joe wilson reports. # we are the army! # the barmy army! #. no travelling fans permitted in australia, but if you were brave enough to support england and live in brisbane, well, hurry to your seats. you might miss it. the ashes start. and rory burns. 0uch. yes, that was the first ball of the series, and it sure set the tone. david malan departed with england's score 11, so england's captain was in. england rely onjoe root. hundreds he made? nought. australia's new captain pat cummins got rid of ben stokes. and straight after lunch, haseeb hameed, who had at least defied for 25. but now watch this. the ball suddenly flying to the boundary atjos buttler pace. he had a partnership with 0llie pope, and in the crowd, appreciation. for the neutral supporter, at least it was getting competitive. for a bit. there was jos buttler

they lead england by nearly 200 runs in brisbane going into day three. here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson. various scenarios are still possible in brisbane, but they all basically look the same. classic australia — ashes take—over. for a moment, ben stokes had dismissed david warner cheaply. the replays showed he'd overstepped — a no—ball, a not out, a big deal — because warner was free to leap onjack leach's bowling to build australia's lead, to ride his luck. england dropped this gift. rory burns the guilty fielder, sadly. rory burns! marnus labuschagne, who made 74, batted with warner, and through much of the seconds play they demoralised england. of the second day's play they demoralised england. but david warner's fortune finally ran out on 94, caught by stokes, and ollie robinson struck again with his next ball. cameron green, golden duck. but by the close, england's bowlers seemed exhausted, injured orjust incapable of stopping travis head. look at that for a cricket shot — bang! while ben stokes nursed a painful knee, head over

right then, brisbane. it's almost with us, let's see those flames. well, perhaps the match to really light the fire. this, in fact, has been the story of england's time in australia thus far — meaningful practice has been largely impossible because of the weather. that's helpful! remember, of the past ten test matches they've played in australia, england have won precisely none. australia's new captain has just had time to get his blazer fitted. two weeks in the job, he doesn't seem intimidated — yet. i hope that i'll stay relaxed. i think it's when i play my best cricket. i think most people play their best when they're relaxed and focused. hopefully we can keep that. the bunch of guys we've got are just a fantastic bunch. well, ben stokes should disrupt the harmony — restored for england, both mentally and physically. the eternaljames anderson is being rested for the first test but he is fit, england say. you could imagine little has changed. but, of course, so much has. the racial bullying and harassment of azeem rafiq casts grave issues ove

and i think that's why it doesn't feel like previous tours, leaving brisbane, where we have been absolutely battered and completely on the wrong end of the result. i think we are living there from a slightly different perspective. australia are already in a strong position, although they'll be without the injured josh hazelwood, while travis head will be looking to build on his lightning fast century in the first contest. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me, tulsen tollett, and the rest of the team that's your sports news for now. a reminder of our breaking news this hour. the house of representatives has voted to hold donald trump's former chief of staff mark meadow in criminal contempt of congress. mr meadows had refused to comply with a subpoena from a congressional committee investigating the insurrection at the us capitol on january the 6th. more on that strain everything we have covered on our website. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @bbcbaxter. we always love to hear from you. for now, thanks for watching. do stay with us. h

at midinight tonight england take to the field at the gabba in brisbane in the opening test with australia, hoping to regain the urn. it's been a decade since england have won an ashes series on aussie soil — their preparations have been disrupted by covid rules and the weather, but as patrick gearey reports they say they're up for the challenge. in the english imagination, australia means danger. uncomfortable, unfamiliar, uncompromising. english cricketers are used to feeling isolated down under but rarely so literally. they've had to quarantine and abide by strict and changeable australian covid rules. it's very different to any series we've ever encountered before. but it's the same for both teams. you know, it's an environment which, and the build—up that's been very unique in many ways, and it will come down to how we manage, how we have managed it. not only do we not know how the series will finish, we don't know where either. the final test has been moved from perth due to western australia's covid rules. no new home for it has been announced. indeed, finding somewhere to play

australia have named their starting xi for the first test which begins in brisbane at midnight tomorrow but england's captain joe root still has a few key decisions to make, not least whether to start with ben stokes who has been away from competitive cricket since july — he took a break to prioritise his mental health while recovering from a finger injury. in terms of ben he has done everything he can to get himself into the best physical shape possible and so have the rest of the bowlers, whether that has been through trying to simulate things and get workloads in different ways, walking around brisbane, playing a full day in the field, it is a unique set of circumstances. we need to try and make the best of what we have. in that respect both teams are in the same boat and we have had very similar build—ups. all you can do is throw everything into the game and make sure you give a really good account of yourself. and we've had confirmation that the final ashes test in perth will be moved, due to coronavirus restrictions in western australia. no replacement venue has been named as

various scenarios are still possible in brisbane, but they all basically look the same. classic australia — ashes takeover. for a moment, ben stokes had dismissed david warner cheaply. the replay showed he'd overstepped — a no—ball, not out, a big deal — because warner was free to leap onjack leach�*s bowling, to build australia's lead, to ride his luck. england dropped this gift. rory burns the guilty fielder, sadly. rory burns! marnus labuschagne, who made 74, batted with warner, and through much of the second day's play, they demoralised england. but david warner's fortune finally ran out on 94, caught by stokes, and ollie robinson struck again with his next ball. bowled him, first ball! cameron green, golden duck. but by the close, england's bowlers seemed exhausted, injured orjust incapable of stopping travis head. look at that for a cricket shot — bang! while ben stokes nursed a painful knee, head overwhelmed an england side which had been unable to prepare adequately for the series. travis head's first ashes hundred, he'd seized the second day. austral

cricket, and england have lost the first test against australia in brisbane. after a fightback on day three, they were all out for 297, setting australia a target of just 20. our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. this is only fancy dress, just a humorous excursion to the cricket ground in brisbane, but who strikes back? look what happened next. edged and gone! england's captain only added 3 runs on saturday. root and malan both fell quickly. ollie pope did this. build a winning position? well, england crumbled. the tv pictures disappear for a bit and then ben stokes, where has that gone? caught. jos buttler got to 23 and then edged faintly. remember english hope? just a cruel illusion. ollie robinson departed like this. nathan lyon went past 400 career test wickets during the day's play. all dressed up, with the match running out, quick, you had better dance or something? 0k. when chris woakes fell, well england were done. after all that promise, they were all out by lunch. australia just needed 20 to win in their second innings and this reached the bou

they started the fourth day in brisbane with high hopes, but a batting collapse left australia chasing just 20 runs for victory. here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson. it is not just it is notjust that it is not just that australia it is notjust that australia won this test match, it is that it all happened so quickly. oncejoe root was out in the first half an hour of saturday's play, england's ambitions unravelled. of course there are other good batters in the england team but there is only one ridge and the collapse to 297 all out was just what england had feared and perhaps, in truth, what australia had expected. one saturday's play began england had just opened the door, by lunch australia had slanted to close. i lunch australia had slanted to close. ~ , ., close. i think we showed good character. _ close. i think we showed good character, good _ close. i think we showed good character, good fight - close. i think we showed good character, good fight and - close. i think we showed good character, good fight and skillj close. i think we showed good i character, good fight and sk

member of the current australia team david warner belives it was the way england began the first test in brisbane that was their downfall. they didn't start well. when we go to england, you have to start well. if you don't start well in the series, you are up against it. last time we were in the first test, it is in great position, the confidence and your chest gets pumped out and you have that belief. —— last time we were in the first test, it put us in great position, the confidence and your chest gets pumped out and you have that belief. it is really crucial you start well. formerjockey freddy tylicki has called for harsher punishments for those who ride dangerously to make horse racing safer. tylicki was paralysed from the chest down following a fall five years ago. and last week a high courtjudge ruled that fellow jockey graham gibbons was responsible. harder punishments for reckless riding would be much the way forward, simply because when you punish a jockey for doing a manoeuvre in a race that should not have been done, then the jockey gets x amount of days to be on the sidelines. tha

england have it all to do after a disappointing opening day of the first ashes test against australia in brisbane. after winning the toss and electing to bat it started badly with rory burns dismissed off the very first ball of the day and by the time chris woakes lost his wicket the tourists had made just 147 leaving them an uphill task on day 2. and for all the latest you can follow the ashes across the bbc, ball—by—ball commentary on test match special. on the bbc sport website there will be in play—highlights clips alongside live text commentary and there's also a highlights show on the bbc iplayer from 5pm on every day of each test. olympic cyclist mark cavendish says he was violently attacked by four armed men during a burglary at his home last month — during which his wife and children were threatened at knife—point. cavendish was at home recovering from two broken ribs and a collapsed lung from a cycling crash when the break—in happened. essex police say they're appealing for witnesses. a louis vuitton suitcase and two "high—value" watches were stolen, while no arrests have
