and we should see sunshine and rise and we should see sunshine and it is looking better after today. in this area of heavy rain we see it pushing slowly north—east and it will take its time to clear from the south—east. further north for the band, that will peter out overnight and places will turn clearer but we have the risk of gales across east anglia, parts of essex as the area of low pressure pushes away with gusts of 50 or 60 miles an hour which could cause some disruption or damage. seven up to 12 degrees in the south and a bit cooler further north where we have clear skies but there is the deep area of low pressure pulling away across the low countries into denmark and for much of the uk tomorrow it should be better. we are in between weather systems and the showers will be across scotland and northern ireland and a few will develop across england and wales, hit and miss showers and it could be the south—east escapes, but still do cater for the odd one.

south—east escapes, but still do caterfor the odd one. temperatures may be a little bit higher and wins lighter with more sunshine around in 20 or 21 degrees but it still below parfor 20 or 21 degrees but it still below par for the time of year. it's not until we reach thursday and friday that the area of low pressure develops in the west and we scoop up warm air on a southerly wind so temperatures will be rising and more sunshine around, 22 or 23 degrees across the east of england and still the mid—high teens in the north but all areas will be warming up on friday, certainly warmer for england and wales but with low pressure nearby there will always be the threat of showers and thunderstorms. that's it from me. and that's bbc news at six. from the six team, it's goodbye. the news continues here on bbc one, as now its time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm chetan pathak live from wimbledon.

some technical delays and problems you may expect because the rain it's been pouring for most of the day most of the fans and supporters of made their way home because the play on the outside courts is cancelled and will have a bumper wednesday in store but on the roofs behind me, we have had tennis today that includes andy murray marching into the second round and ryan is preaching in the old british match on centre. is this the man to stop novak novak djokovic, carlos alvarez breezes and around two in style. and surviving a scare, the defending champion digs deep to keep her dream of winning back—to—back titles alive. and i am mark edwards of the bbc sport studio away from wimbledon. it is crunch

time with but england men and women ashes the line. in the historic stage victory at the tour de france but adam yates keeps the leaders yellow jersey. thank you forjoining us on what is been a wet and windy day at wimbledon. welcome to the british weather for the second day, wimbledon. welcome to the british weatherfor the second day, rain hampering and playing much dramatically and on the four matches completed on day two and that is because playing on the outside courts has been suspended and official announcements that will resume in the a huge shame especially the number british players in the outside courts and those who have made their way here

and optimism, talking about the challenges in the queue outside because of this increased security checks, we've seen sporting events in recent months enhanced which means that some people i spoke to eight hours to get to the grounds and they were queuing from three or fourin and they were queuing from three or four in the morning and i have to say there were a lot happier with how things went today and stories coming out and those finally made their way and really get a whole lot of tennis and next to me, katie at 11 o'clock in the morning, and fortunately, finishing the first centre for match and tomorrow, andy murray, at least second up against rain ryan peniston, he made it easy for himself this time the opening rounds

and he is looking to go for these championships with that memory in this mind of ten years ago when he won his first title. i much as happened to murray in the past decade. he now has three grand slams, four children in the metal hip. the 36—year—old still loves playing tennis and wild card ryan peniston has been the suffering cancer as a child, his father since his son now thrives on the pressure. the biggest match of his life so far. peniston made a solid start dictating play from the baseline and several break points and she failed to convert unlike his opponent who did not need to be asked twice. that breakthrough seems to settle the score. six games— three. murray had the momentum, peniston is proving unreliable on the surf and the

second set. murray went back to back tournaments before an early exit to queens and he barely put a foot wrong in the set, cruising through it six. providing some compensation for those on the soggy hill. dreadful weather depriving them of their tennis. dreadful weather depriving them of theirtennis. proving dreadful weather depriving them of their tennis. proving an experience of the world number 26 and seven as they tore through the third set. the end was not long in coming as murray completed an emphatic victory. it’s completed an emphatic victory. it's been a completed an emphatic victory. it�*s been a long time since i felt physically biscuit coming into wimbledon which is a really positive last few years and it's been very challenging and i'm hoping that i'm fit and ready for a good run. it was amazing to have some realty here and some tennis royalty and

like a chess player out there, drop shots, drying appointments and, pulling upon inside a position and then being able to outmaneuver them and then being able to accelerate the ball and so, he does things very differently and he has a unique brand of style and it's always fun to watch you as you like you're watching him in learning something about the sport stop let's talk about the sport stop let's talk about ryan rpeniston. find about the sport stop let's talk about ryan rpeniston. and quincy did reall well about ryan rpeniston. and quincy did really well at — about ryan rpeniston. and quincy did really well at the _ about ryan rpeniston. and quincy did really well at the second _ about ryan rpeniston. and quincy did really well at the second round, - really well at the second round, talking about the charted cancer he had and taking nothing for granted. the mets was life of their that he think he dealt with that sense? i think he dealt with that sense? i think he deals with the big occasions quite well but it went away from them quite quickly it is difficult to stop it better member, he was a lot younger than andy murray so he would have been growing up murray so he would have been growing up looking up to this icon and british sporting tennis and i would

imagine psychologically, those big girlfriend overcome by the end of the day, he places tenants but to have a chance, some people never get the chance to play centre court and some people never have the chance to play against the great idol of the sport. i think with our business career, whenever he hangs up his rack, he played against any murray on centre court. you be able to say that. ., . , on centre court. you be able to say that. ., ., , ., , ., that. normally i would be hovering at to one specific _ that. normally i would be hovering at to one specific umbrella - that. normally i would be hovering at to one specific umbrella that. at to one specific umbrella that screens in front of us showing what is going on and talking about cam norrie, he is under way at the moment you begin to see norrie won that match only dilutes the second 6—4 and when we think about last year when norrie, he was third up at the side of the moment, what you think norrie is added at the moment

she had. ifeel as part of this crowd understands how special she is as a tennis player and as a person they would really love to see her winded. she was fun to interview when even as you say, despite the fact that she's been a little bit injured and is not as much tennis, i think the talent is just flowing. she loves this place so much. she wants the title so much that the goal of her thoughts are going to be tunnel vision if she can get there. she's been keeping the trophy as a screensaver and we will be sending out for she can get. so much to dig into it will let annabella escape from underneath my umbrella says doctor from underneath my umbrella says to get neither of us want to get her hair wet. to get neither of us want to get her hairwet. back to get neither of us want to get her hair wet. back to you, mark.

as we still recover from what was a a chaotic second test at lord's we prepare to move on to headingley, host of so many famous ashes moments and a venue that is sure to give the australian team a hostile welcome on thursday. at lord's we had everything. a barrage of bouncers. a controversial dimissal and a true captain's innings from england's ben stokes. for the aussies, a draw at headingley would not only erase some of the painful losses the team have experienced at that particular ground, but also see them retain the ashes. it's been a week in which we've seen the best and worst of what cricket has to offer — unforgettable drama against a backdrop of mounting controversy and turbulence, — forcing the sport to ask difficult questions about its image, and what it stands for. added into the mix, both squads have injuries to contend with as well — confirmation today that england's 0llie pope has been ruled out of the rest of the series 0ur sports correspondentjoe wilson is in leeds for us.

here we are, at headingley, moving on from lords, that is retreating when the schedule is so remembers the summer in any case, prime ministers talking aboutjonny bairstow incident. senior england clear, former captain came to speak to the media today and clear that he did not want to get stuck with the bear still incident stuck into it but it is also clear from his perspective that england definitely retained the moral high ground. it will make a trip for myself and not position and i like to think i would have dealt with the very differently. as a team, but we want to play a certain way and be pursued legacy and clearly, it's been very different alley of god about test cricket in the past 18 months. ——

don about and i think we should play cricket in a slightly different way. there was some behaviour in their which was disappointing to everybody. you know, the yorkshire public very well. what would you say to them about what type of behaviour they should bring to this match? support england. i think that's the most important thing, you support your nations. it doesn't need to go beyond that and it should never go beyond that and it should never go beyond that. beyond that and it should never go beyond that-— beyond that and it should never go be ond that. ., , , . ., beyond that. imagine the prospect of makin: beyond that. imagine the prospect of making your — beyond that. imagine the prospect of making your debut _ beyond that. imagine the prospect of making your debut in _ beyond that. imagine the prospect of making your debut in this _ beyond that. imagine the prospect of making your debut in this context - beyond that. imagine the prospect of making your debut in this context in l making your debut in this context in this environment. put yourself in the shoes of todd murphy, just 22 years of age and because nathan has gone on with injury, murphy finds himself as the senior spin bowler in the australian ranks stop with this is probably the most hostile project in england and i'm quite looking forward to getting the opportunity growing up and watching what they

bring to the game in the atmosphere and it's going to be different but i'm sure they will not hold back and though just i'm sure they will not hold back and thoughjust embrace i'm sure they will not hold back and though just embrace it. i'm sure they will not hold back and thoughjust embrace it. dislocated shoulder means he be out for the rest of the summer now but the replacement would be dan lawrence prince played 11 tennis matches for england, and england would surely like to think of a way to get nelly back into their 11 is a spin bowling all around her. back into their 11 is a spin bowling allaround her. i'm sure back into their 11 is a spin bowling all around her. i'm sure of the course of the test match, all sorts of things are going to be rolled for from these seeds towards the australians great volume. the simplest australian response would be 2—0. england's women cricketers face an uphill battle in their ashes series — only slim hope remains

after australia won the first t20 by four wickets and took a 6—nil points lead in the multi—format series. england need nine points to regain the ashes with things moving on to the oval tomorrow and our reporter jo currie is there for us. england's hopes are hanging by a thread. if there is a series that they haven't done since 2014, they need to win all five remaining whitehall games starting here with a t 20 tomorrow night. mission impossible? perhaps. most when? definitely. we got the thoughts from both the england and camps. going throuuh a both the england and camps. going through a few _ both the england and camps. going through a few decisions _ both the england and camps. going through a few decisions and - both the england and camps. going through a few decisions and passed oven _ through a few decisions and passed oven i_ through a few decisions and passed over. i think really close and confident— over. i think really close and confident going into tomorrow are excited _ confident going into tomorrow are excited to— confident going into tomorrow are excited to go on the pitch again. you've _ excited to go on the pitch again. you've competed against them a lot in they— you've competed against them a lot in they played games to watch the spectacle — in they played games to watch the spectacle but we are going to get one back— spectacle but we are going to get one back tomorrow. we spectacle but we are going to get one back tomorrow.— spectacle but we are going to get one back tomorrow. we want to win every single — one back tomorrow. we want to win every single game. _ one back tomorrow. we want to win every single game, we _ one back tomorrow. we want to win every single game, we don't - one back tomorrow. we want to win every single game, we don't want i one back tomorrow. we want to win | every single game, we don't want to commit a _

next up the netherlands on thursday, victory in that one will guarantee a fourth world cup appearance for scotland. britain's adam yates has kept his six—second overall lead after stage four of the tour de france. this was the second of two flat stages in south—west france before the first mountain stage in the pyrenees tomorrow. and a bit of deja vu. this was mark cavendish's second chance to win a stage this year which would break the all time record but he will have to wait until friday at least. he was fifth today, and yet again belgium's yasper phillipsen outsprinted all the fast men to take the stage win. drew savage reports. at the tour de france, you have to do it you can get a good view of the action. it was another quiet day for adam yates, all about saving energy if you don't finish in the main bunch to keep the yellowjersey. there was more entertainment on the side of the rope and actually on it. the stench was putting towards a fast finish, even if it did not feel like at times. i called sprinters,

he was waiting for that moment which arrived on the motor racing circuit. some spring finishes can feel like being inside a washing machine. chaos reigns, european champion crashed out on the running once again, it was phillipson who responded best to the situation. two victories in two days and this time, by centimetres. he citizens those blue jersey swept past him, he knew it was not his day. yates had done his job it was not his day. yates had done hisjob required efficiency in the mountains tomorrow. bbc news. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. daniel farke has been appointed the new leeds utd manager. a two time winner of the championship while in charge of norwich city, the 46—year—old german has agreed a four—year deal at elland road england striker alessia russo says she is 'beyond excited' to join arsenal.

she makes the move on a free transfer following her departure from manchester united. united had previously turned down two world—record bids from arsenal injanuary, with the second offer believed to be close to half a million pounds. she is part of the lionesses squad heading to the world cup in australia tomorrow. and joining her down under is hannah hampton, the goalkeeper will also be at a new club upon her return. she is chelsea's latest signing. and joins the women's super league champions on a three—year deal, after her contract with aston villa expired. that's all from the bbc sport centre — so let's head back to wimbledon and chetan. chetan over to you. the ring continues to pour and not a problem for those who were in central cord to the left of me and boy, within the treat earlier today because roger federal, boy, within the treat earlier today because rogerfederal, tennis

royalty was in town and sat next to royalty was in town and sat next to royalty less, and there was also at wimbledon today imparts to support their friend jt but they were there to celebrate roger federal�*s incredible achievements and he retired as a lovely perception for him on centre and let mejust retired as a lovely perception for him on centre and let me just say at the moment on centre court arena, the moment on centre court arena, the belarusian player allowed was playing and she is a setup in the opening game of the second set and norrie as does one up against thomas and the qualifier who be novak novak djokovic earlier year but norrie looking to beat this man reached the second when we reach the semifinals and andy murray is safely into the round of the top of the programme and this went over micro to open the sun is up and joined them at the team in wimbledon tonight. good

night. hello there. quite a lot of you will have seen some fairly heavy ish rain around through tuesday afternoon. 0n the satellite picture, you can see a couple of bands of cloud. this one for scotland and northern ireland brought some showery conditions. this one in the south was a system that continued to develop and we saw rain become extensive across southern england, southern wales, the midlands and east anglia. this system is going to continue developing through the course of the night. and so we're looking at a band of heavy rain moving its way eastwards. the wettest weather for norfolk and suffolk where we could see around 30 or 40 millimetres of rain

by the end of the night. and as that low pressure deepens, we've got a swathe of windy weather. so the east coast of england with gusts of wind running into the forties of miles an hour. by the time we get into the first part of wednesday morning. so wet and windy weather to start the day here. then this area of low pressure clears off into north west europe. well, it will be bringing some potentially disruptive winds, perhaps strong enough to bring down a few trees. for us, though, it's a day of sunshine and showers now because it's going to be quite a breezy day. if you do see a shower, it won't last very long, maybe 15 minutes the rest of your day dry with some sunshine. temperatures still a little bit below par for the time of year now at wimbledon compared with the wash—out that we had on tuesday afternoon with rain really curtailing play, we're looking at much better weather for wednesday. there could be a passing shower. it won't last very long and for most of the day, play will get under way. unaffected really could just see a 50 minute delay 01’ so low pressure. there moves in to the west of the uk for thursday and this is going to be bringing some heavy rain, particularly to western counties of northern ireland where there's a risk

of seeing some localised surface water flooding, hazy spells of sunshine elsewhere across the uk. and given that we should start to see the weather turn a little bit warmer, those temperatures getting warmer, those temperatures getting close to average for the time close to average for the time of year across england, of year across england, wales and eastern areas wales and eastern areas of scotland for friday. still the threat of some heavy rain across the north west of the uk thanks to these wiggling weather fronts. but across more eastern areas we start to get southerly winds drawing in some much warmer weather. and for england and wales, that means temperatures lots of showers and thunderstorms will be surging upwards. and indeed, on friday, we could see highs reaching around 28 degrees celsius in london. so feeling hot and quite humid, warm weatherfor wales, 26 in cardiff and starting to warm up for the eastern side of scotland as well. the weekend more warm if not hot weather across eastern areas of the uk, but otherwise there'll be
