the england tea m selection once again. the england team still getting over 4—0 ashes thrashing down under. for both players and fans, the site of one of the world's best players returning to their ranks will no doubt be with great relief. south africa have won their test series against india after victory in the second test at centurion. india's chase in their second innings looked doomed, when they lost three early wickets. and on day five, things didn't pick up. they were bowled out for 151. debutant lungi ngidi took 6—39, his best—ever figures, and was named man of the match. to be honest, it is actually difficult to describe. it is not something i am used to, so, you know, every time it really does hit me, you know, you get goosebumps, you get nervous all over again. in that time you are in the middle of the game. but it really is an honour, i mean, to have people appreciate the work that you are doing out there. so yes, i mean, it is hard to describe, but it really is hard to describe, but it really isa is hard

they did get rid of england short of 350. they arejust rid of england short of 350. they are just about still in this match. this next session, how important could this be to this test match? is this the important session that england could get in this series? it's a crucial session. australia have shown they can bat england out of matches. england has a lot to ——a lot of work to do. it is starting to spina lot of work to do. it is starting to spin a bit. we might see a bit of mason grane as the matchwinners on but it is a very important session. if australia can get through to tea, they will feel they are right in the box seat but england, because of that fighting spirit, will feel they have a chance. enjoy the sunshine. virat kohli has become the indian premier league's highest—paid player after being re—signed by the royal challengers bangalore. they've paid $2.67 million to retain his services. but kohli's immediate focus is on india's test series in south africa. the world's top two teams go head—to—head in a three—match series which starts in cape

very strong wind with rain across the rest of england and wales, costing 50, 60 mph, maybe england and wales, costing 50, 60 be up england and wales, costing 50, 60 mph, maybe up to 70 in some spots. disruption overnight and into the morning, certainly possible to travel, whether it is from snow with a strong wind, or the icy conditions we started the day within scotland, northern ireland and northern england. i think you will be struck by this picture at 8am, which shows the bulk of the weather system overnight has cleared away at this stage. of course, it is the problem that has left behind, why you should be checking the travel situation near you before you head outjust about anywhere, whether you have had the snow or the very strong wind overnight. we still have further sleet and snow showers coming towards western scotland, northern ireland and north—west england. none of the snow initially on hills, it will be rain showers in south—west england. as we go through the day, some of the showers will turn to snow. many southern and eastern parts, bar the odd stray shower, will hav

england 180 01’ ashes squad is now over. england 180 or out in theirfinal ashes squad is now over. england 180 or out in their final innings. nothing left except the hows and whys. we know we have to improve in a lot of areas and i'm sure the management will be thinking the same. there are an improvements eve ryo ne same. there are an improvements everyone can make. we are all there to improve, particularly after a loss. what next? the big thing for english cricket is to prepare players for a very different hemisphere. never mind a0 degrees, it is about four here in loughborough. the future mightjust be behind me. this is england's pace programme, with youngsters in winter training. england don't have fast bowlers, do they? we are hurting and we will review ourselves, here. i am already doing that with the fast bowling programme anyway, but i am absolutely convinced that what we are doing right, and people may say, where are they then? we have got them. will they get in the team? james anderson and stuart broad have led england's bowling for a decade. they can't go on indefinitely.

semi—final against for england's kyle edmund came to an end. semi—finalagainst marin for england's kyle edmund came to an end. semi—final against marin cilic was a step too far. the croatian was rarely challenged in the first. the second more competitive. marin cilic two experienced and in the end, too good. taking the match in straight sets to book his place in a second grand slam final out of three. marin cilic is waiting for the winner of the second final between roger federer and hyeon chung. and the contrast in experience could hardly be greater. federer — who beat tomas berdych to reach the last four — is the defending champion, and remains on course to win a record—extending 20th major. he's aiming to reach a 30th grand slam final and this will be his 43rd semi—final. by contrast chung is playing in his first grand slam semi—final. in fact, it's the first time he's made it past the third round of a major. the world number 58, who beat novak djokovic and both zverev brothers to reach the last four, still can't believe he thr

the england and wales cricket board said stokes, who hasn't played for england since the incident, is expected to join the squad in february. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilson is at lord's. why can he play now when he couldn't play in the ashes? it isa it is a good question, and it may well seem illogical to some cricket followers. the ecb were waiting to see what the cps decided before they took their next step. we know there isa took their next step. we know there is a charge for ben stokes of affray that he is indeed contesting, and in that he is indeed contesting, and in that context of the ecb are faced with a decision. whilst they wait for the trial, which could be a year ahead, do they let their star player, who they are paying centrally, to sit on the sidelines? they have said they do not think it is there or proportionate to do that, and so he is available for selection again. we have seen him playing club cricket in new zealand already, whilst under investigation. clearly representing england is a significant step up. there is the image that it projects, but also the pract

england are 233—5 at close of play. and andy murray pulls out of the first grand slam of the season, the australian open, as he continues to struggle with a long—term hip problem. i'll be back with more on those stories at 5.30pm. one of britain's most prolific sex offenders, who raped and sexually assaulted women who were passengers in his black cab, has been approved for release from prison. john worboys, who is 60, was convicted of 19 offences in 2009, although police believe he carried out many more attacks. he'll be released on licence at the end of this month, following a successful parole hearing in november. our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw, has been following the story and explains case. he drove his black cab around london, picked up women in the west end, offered them champagne saying that he won money on the lottery and he wanted to share the celebration with them, but he would lace the drink with sedatives and then he would sexually assault the women, rape the women when they were, you know, alm

england's main task now is to slow the game down, so australia down. they probably cannot get victory anymore, england, australia will want to score quickly and get into the batsman, take a ten wickets they need to make his 4—0 to england will be looking to show some character perhaps, perhaps salvage a draw. show a bit of character, is that our england can get back any pride at the end of this final ashes test? babble maybe get some pride but

england's one—day side refused to an. finch made 100 again but when he fell, australia stumbled and england took advantage. chris woa kes, and england took advantage. chris woakes, like your site, and england took advantage. chris woakes, like yoursite, calm and england took advantage. chris woakes, like your site, calm and creative the innings was over, 270. it never looked like enough. still, england needed a new hero. jason roy made history in the first match of the series. here he lasted four balls. plenty were waiting behind him in the queue. jonny bairstow and then alex hales, those passing 50. even a clatter of quick wickets did little to throw them. it was only a passing concern. chris woakes providing a late innings flourished the second time. england, full of confidence and with good reason. a spokesman for the brazilian football legend pele has dismissed reports that he is in hospital after collapsing with symptoms of extreme exhaustion. he was 77 —— is 77 and is due to travel to london for a dinner held in

no joy for england's cricketers... chelsea ladies have gone top of the women's super league after beating arsenal 3—2. it was 1—1 until the hour mark whenji so—yun put chelsea ahead for the second time in the game... arsenal drew themselves level again — dominique janssen scambling the ball over the line after the west london club had failed to clear. chelsea then produced the winner — but it was more a case of a goalkeeping errorfrom sari van veenendaal which saw the arsenal keeper carry the ball over the goal line. chelsea came out on top in that one. no joy for england's cricketers... they look to be heading for a 4—0 ashes series defeat after another dominant day for australia. the tourists ending day four in sydney on 93 for four... still 210 runs behind the aussies. patrick gearey is at the scg... it has cooled quite considerably now but this was a day of unforgiving heat and unforgiving australians. we always knew given the match situation that they would make england work hard and they made them toi

as far as he will be back playing for england. as faras him he will be back playing for england. as far as him playing on english soil, england have a test series against pakistan in may. depending on how the legal process plays out, he could be in action in may. the news as of today is that he is available for selection for england. thanks for updating us on a ben stokes. moving to tennis note. british number 2 kyle edmund is through to round 3 of the australian open. he barely gave denis istomin a chance with in the 6—2, 6—2, 6—a victory overnight. alex gulrajani reports. she'd is seldom found on the outside courts in melbourne but maybe this is kyle edmund's moment to embrace the limelight. with a certain andy murray out injured, he gave an early indication he belongs in the latter stages of slams against denis istomin. he raced to take the first set inside half an hour, the pace too much for denis istomin to date. a medical time—out needed but it didn't help out. nothing could stop the british number two on his quest towards the third round. the second set wrapped up

beat england. beat england. this still matters. every opportunity we get to play on this ground, it's special and it's another ashes test match and the guys need no more motivation. it's a great opportunity to try and win this test match and win the series 4—0. ashes series take a long time coming around. england must wait two years to try and reclaim the urn and four yea rs to try and reclaim the urn and four years for another chance over here, but the aim for now is to turn the wheel just a but the aim for now is to turn the wheeljust a little in their direction. and, of course, you can follow coverage of the sydney test match on bbc radio 5 live sports extra from 10.30pm this evening. eddiejones has said he wont be replacing dylan hartley as his england captain ahead of the six nations. hartley and his club northampton have had a disappointing season so far but the coach sez that's irrelevant and he certainly isn't intending to lighten the skipper‘s workload either. in terms of team meetings? he won't be with us. he has got

the same too for parts of northern england but the further south that we head, fewer showers through the morning period. a few running through the cheshire gap there in towards the pennines and the odd wintry showers across the higher ground, the moors of south—west england. but elsewhere it should be dry, chilly and bright with some sunshine through the morning. those showers continue across many northern and western areas, but through the afternoon, like i mentioned, increasing amounts of sunshine for england and wales with most of the showers confined to scotland and northern ireland, the far north of england with snow amounts continuing to tot up here. cold if you factor in the wind, subzero feeling temperatures in the north. to the south with the sunshine, shouldn't be too bad. 0nto wednesday night, this is the area of low pressure will the next hazard to our shores. a spell of wet and very windy weather to all areas. across the north of this rain band, we're likely to see a spell of snow for northern ireland, northern england, central, southern scotland, which could be heavy

earlier, england showed some fight. they lost dawid malan early on thanks to a spectacular catch by smith, but the rest of australia's catching not in the same class. pat cummins madea catching not in the same class. pat cummins made a terrible clanger in the field and the rest of the england lower order added useful contributions, moeen ali, tom curran and stuart broad all making 30, and england put on 113 before being bowled out. a good start in the field, stuart broad clean bowling camra. david morley made his customary 50. —— stuart broad clean bowling bancroft. mason crane, that they couldn't leg—spinner, bowled well, but australia were increasingly uncomfortable —— co mforta ble increasingly uncomfortable —— comfortable as the day wore on. england must somehow now work out how to get sniff out. we managed to get smith tourniquet few today but none of them carried. do you think he is immune to getting out? he has got out four times this series. he is playing well and seemed well, but he's only human s

this has been england's ashes trouble from tranquillity. nowjosh hazlewood thought he had alastair cook. the umpire didn't, but the technology backed the bowler — marginal and maybe crucial. so root, who had earlier chosen to bat, had plenty of it to do. this was 50 — handy, but the celebration told of an unfinished job. by now, the conditions had been transformed from drizzling to sizzling. dawid malan was dropped but shuffled on to his half—century. whisper it, but england were comfortable. only an illusion. third ball with the new ball, almost inevitable, another 100 missed, root didn't need telling. now things started to unravel. instead of a nightwatchman to see out the final balls, jonny bairstow went out, got out and handed the day to australia, a day which encapsulated a series. i think it sums up where we've been this tour. we've been on top for so long in games and we make one or two mistakes and suddenly we let the aussies back in. so england finish the day once again in shadow, the same shadow which has stalked them all ov
