zharnel hughes is denied a blistering british record in the 200m. the ashes has been at times confounding, often chaotic, but most importantly for england, the series is still alive. they beat australia by three wickets to win the third test at headingley. so often a place of significant victories against their fiercest rivals. joe wilson reports.— joe joins us from headingley. from a am, headingley expected. everyone rose just to greet england's bettors. 0k, not quite have one. look at australia's start. then duckett lbw. next moeen ali committee to say other five. chasing

251, england reach 100. supporters relaxed a bit but did you really on this day, like that? a touch from joe root and nojuggler, just this day, like that? a touch from joe root and no juggler, just alex carey's joe root and no juggler, just alex ca rey�*s gloves, joe root and no juggler, just alex carey's gloves, say. england fall down. it was hard to look. it was hard not to. it's ok. ben stokes is there. ben stokes was out. gone for 14 in the world for a moment stopped as he trudged off. not in this time notjonny bairstow. six down, still 80 to win and sold at headingley felt empty but look, harry brook, the 24—year—old yorkshireman was still going. he got to 75 and that target was going. 21 to win and book played this shot. to australians underneath it and the captain took it, just. in came mark wood. the quickest route to victory was the boundary. all the way, all the way for six. boundary. all the way, all the way forsix. now, chris woakes

boundary. all the way, all the way for six. now, chris woakes had supported, resisted, and now he crunched the winning runs on his return to the team. after a day of cricket when nothing felt certain, the match was done. the series is a lie. joe canjoin joe can join us joe canjoin us live joe can join us live from headingley —— the series is alive. joe canjoin us live from headingley -- the series is alive.— -- the series is alive. fascinating series seem _ -- the series is alive. fascinating series seem to — -- the series is alive. fascinating series seem to be _ -- the series is alive. fascinating series seem to be perfectly - -- the series is alive. fascinating series seem to be perfectly on i -- the series is alive. fascinating series seem to be perfectly on a | series seem to be perfectly on a knife edge and is no different today. this weather we're having right now as i'm sure you can see reminders of course the weather we had yesterday and just makes the point that really this was a three—day test match. low scoring, fast—moving, exhilarating and yet today i went through a kind of cycle emotions of hope, belief, dread, and i'm sure that was the same broadly is probably all australian supporters who are following the match in various ways that you can. just as you think england made it more of a less certain, something happened. the wicket was lost. i

wasn't sure whether harry brook would be able to play that role today but he was playing it so well and we get the point where just 21 runs were needed and then he's dismissed. we have to think of little moments i suppose like the innings played by mark wood when he came in just innings played by mark wood when he came injust up innings played by mark wood when he came in just up to six similar to what he did came injust up to six similar to what he did in the came in just up to six similar to what he did in the first innings where he supported ben stokes and then the role of chris woakes down then the role of chris woakes down the order, that experience crucial as well. he did extremely well and i haven't even mentioned the stark with his five wickets today. he was a bowler who gets bringing australia back into it. ultimately, hugh, i guess you would say england have won a test match despite never really being in control of it, despite the fact that they won the toss and over the four days they had the best of the four days they had the best of the weather. the four days they had the best of the weather-— the four days they had the best of the weather. , . , ._ ., the weather. yes, and stay there for a moment though _ the weather. yes, and stay there for a moment though only _ the weather. yes, and stay there for a moment though only because - the weather. yes, and stay there for a moment though only because i - the weather. yes, and stay there for i a moment though only because i want to have you suffer in the rain for just a little bit longer. we are going to hearfrom both captain starting with ben stokes.

it means rainfall amounts going to vary quite widely from one place to the next. it will feel cooler and, at times, a little bit windier as well. not particularly cold for the next few days. this evening, low pressure still to the south—west, so the general wind flow is from a southerly direction. the band of cloud and rain that was affecting 0rkney pushes across shetland during the first part of the night, before clearing. the showers we've got elsewhere fade away. by and large, most will end up dry through the end of the night. and as we start monday morning, temperatures in rural parts could be down to single figures, most places double figures, but it does represent a bit of a drop to what we've seen on recent mornings. a fine commute, though, for most of you — dry, sunny spells quite widely, but quickly the cloud thickening up in the south—west and wales. the breeze picking up too. outbreaks of rain becoming extensive during the second half of the morning into lunchtime. thunderstorms breaking out in northern ireland and scotland, particularly to the north—east of scotland and then the north and west midlands through the afternoon, and northern england turning increasingly wet. some of that rain will be heavy,

persistent and thundery. to the south and east, though, some will stay dry. bit breezier than we saw on sunday, but that breeze still coming in from a southerly direction. 23 to 2a degrees here. temperatures in the high teens, low 20s to the north. now, as we go through monday evening, showers and thunderstorms become a bit more fragmented across the north of the country. but parts of wales, central and southern england, a band of heavier, more persistent rain will sweep its way from west to east, which on tuesday may take a while to clear east anglia and the south—east. away from that, it's sunshine and showers once again. showers heaviest, most frequent and thundery in parts of northern england, scotland and northern ireland. bit breezier through england and wales, too, on tuesday, and temperatures dropping a little bit more once again, but still high teens, low 20s — around where we should be for this stage injuly. it's as we go through wednesday and beyond, we start to see temperatures drop a bit more. low pressure becomes centred, then, to the west of norway and we bring the winds in from an increasingly north—westerly direction for a while. still going to see plenty of showers around. those most frequent close to that low pressure system in the north where temperatures will only be around 13 to 16 degrees at times.

further south, temperatures further south, temperatures still in low 20s, fewer showers, greater chance of staying still in low 20s, fewer showers, drier for longer. live from london. this is bbc news: the bbc suspends an un—named male presenter following claims he paid a teenagerfor sexually explicit images. the metropolitan police confirms the corporation has been in contact
