it will weaken as it comes into the north england and england and wales and into the south—west. by the afternoon, maybe the cloud will thicken again in southern parts of england and wales to produce a really miserable end to the day. it is the shortest day, of course, and i think it will get darker awfully quickly in the afternoon given the amount of cloud we will see. temperatures are at least 10—11 degrees. something of that order. brighter skies behind. as it comes to scotland and northern ireland, cold air dominating the scene. the added strength of the wind here. wintry showers will fall to low levels. showers will keep going in northern ireland and scotland. this area will gradually move off to the near continent allowing a bright and crisp start to the day across the greater part of england and wales. another blustery one for scotland and northern ireland, wintry showers falling to a low level. it will feel very fresh indeed. eventually showers will go up through northern and western parts of both england and wales as well. generally speaking, further south, a decent da

yet another good day for india against england. the tourists‘ chances of winning the fifth test are fast receding. and an upset in the european champions cup as scarlets hold on to secure a famous victory over toulon. good evening. news of a very important victory for manchester city in the premier league. they came from behind to beat arsenal 2—1 at the etihad stadium, and are now seven points behind the leaders, chelsea. here's tim hague. as christmas gifts go, this match is certainly one you'd want on your list. manchester city against arsenal, two teams and two managers desperately chasing chelsea. with that in mind, things unsurprisingly got physical very quickly. no kissing under the mistletoe for theo walcott and kept the broiler —— kevin de bruyne. arsenal were ahead, but it shouldn't have been the case for long. raheem sterling somehow put the ball wide, and that was as good as it got for city in the first hour. in the first half. slow out of the blocks, you could say. unlike the christmas pudding, the home side fo

a difficult to for england. questions inevitably asked about the england ca ptain‘s future questions inevitably asked about the england captain's future and alastair cook had to face the press... it's the wrong time to make those decisions, because your energy is low, you know, morale is low. and you can make some foolish decisions at the time. so while there's not a test match for seven months, it will seem very foolish to stand here now and make a decision, which either you regret or you don't. so, if there was a test match in three weeks‘ time, then you'd have to think. now there is a bit of space, why not use it? many predicted it would be difficult but some of the performances have been beyond disappointing from an england side that have all to often seen batting collapses and not bowled with the sort of potency people expected. a big break in test cricket. not playing in that format again untiljuly, meanwhile alastair cook has an awful lot of thinking to do. well, a little earlier i spoke to former eng

he had scored the biggest opening score against england ever. england ever. england had to work hard for breakthroughs today. lead once again followed the pattern we have seen over the course of this test match ru ns over the course of this test match runs scoring... england were full of praise for the efforts of rahul, fell one short of his double century. he played really well. he took his time, calculated his runs quite well, then took risks when he needed to. i think it was some brilliant bowling to throw a slow, wide one. not many people on that score would leave that alone. credit to rash for doing that. so far, this batting surface as given little opportunity to the bowling side. india hope to close the lead that england have set. england will be hoping that if they can take early wickets that the pressure will be on the home side and it can be england that pick up the consolation victory. on to rugby union, and there's been an upset in the european champions cup. scarlets survived a tense finale to hang on and beat toulon by 22 points to 21. leigh hal

at the close, england we re by england. at the close, england were 270 runs behind. quick wickets would be required if england got anything out of the match, but with the first test century from karim, the game got away, and he wasjoined by ashwin century from karim, the game got away, and he was joined by ashwin at the crease who wasted little time making his presence felt. as he made 50 it seemed the best tourist could hope for was a draw, whereas india fancied a 4—0 series victory. karim made hay, england struggle to contain him, soon he passed 150. it has been the mark of this tour that whenever england assumed they put on a substantial total, india skip deonte, and in the back of his mind, karun would have remembered how his teammate raheem fell at 199, but he displayed no reticent, converting a maiden hundred into a double century for the third time in india. karun strolled past 250 and broke 300 with one of the great batting performances. india had registered their highest ever test score. in reply england survived the five overs but look like they had had e

england's hearts are being ripped out. for england's cricketers, an eventful year. an historic series win over south africa, and then against sri lanka, captain alastair cook became the youngest batsman ever to 10,000 test runs. series against pakistan, bangladesh and india were rather less successful, but the real heartbreak came at the world t20, all the way to the final, before falling at the final hurdle. victory batted from their grasp, carlos brathwaite and the west indies uncontrollable, ben stokes and england, inconsolable. it was a double for the west indies as they claimed the women's title as well. drama only rivalled by the end of the county championship season. middlesex, winners, and one of the tightest finishes in years. so much of sport is about getting across the line first. 33/1 shot rule the world lived up to his name, winning the grand national. on—board was teenager david mullings, proving that even on its 169th running, this great race is still capable of fairy tales. there are others for whom crossing that line first is now a familiarfeeling

southern england and wales, northern ireland, northern england, we will see some sunshine. into the afternoon through the northwest, more cloud around and spots of rain or some showers. nothing substantial. coming across most of england, watch out for that fog as it lived into low cloud, it will be fairly grey. across southern countries especially close to the coast we will see some sunshine. pleasa nt coast we will see some sunshine. pleasant for the time of year in south england. in wales too and in the west we will see some sunshine. there will be some cloud floating around the rest of wales. northern ireland you've got that mixture of bright and sunny spells. the frost will return and we will see some fog forming. some of it will be freezing fog. patchy fog across northern ireland. look at those temperatures, it's going to be a cold night tomorrow. tomorrow very similar to today, any fog that forms will be slow to lift. some of its sticking and impacting on the temperature. we will see some sunshine particularly heading down towards the south—west, parts of wales and

the coldest weather this morning was across england and wales. we've still got some areas of low cloud and fog. that should shrink a bit and england and wales should remain dry and sunny. a milder, south—westerly wind, areas seeing more cloud. where the fog is slower to clear it will be a cold day but could make double figures across the south coast of england. hardly any wind across england and wales overnight and we will find probably more fog forming, more frost as well. ambridge is very close to freezing even in the towns and cities inland in particular. more cloud should keep the temperature is up across scotland and northern ireland with more breeze here as well and a limited amount of sunshine. 0n the whole with more fog lifting into england and wales, sunshine will be harder to find. the south coast faring best of all. these are the sort of temperatures and with grey skies across england and wales, the temperatures could be lower than today. one woman has died — and several people injured — after four accidents on the a40 near witne

it has been a mark of the store that whenever england's assumed they put ona whenever england's assumed they put on a substantial innings total first, indian skip part it. —— india skip past that. one fell an hundred 99 yesterday, but i triple century was made today. england little more than spectators. 300 runs was broken with one of the great batting performances. india have registered their highest ever test score. in reply, england survived 35 overs but looked like they'd had enough. in two—day's time they will be on their plane home from christmas, the spirit already long gone. fifa has fined all four home nations for commemorating armsitice day during world cup qualifiers last month. england and scotland players wore poppies on armbands. wales and northern ireland's games featured displays on the pitch or in the stands. england has the biggest fine of 35 thousand pounds, with scotland and wales each fined £15,500 and northern ireland — £12,000. this leicester city say they'll appeal jamie vardy‘s red card from saturday's game at stoke. the striker was sent—off in the
