are oval, steve appears in a ribbon like shape. if you want to know more about all that it's explained on our bbc website. time for a look at the weather, here's darren bett. if it makes you feel any better, i had never heard of steve until today. i have never seen the northern lights, so i am very jealous. this was last night. tonight the solar activity has reduced so the best chance of seeing the northern lights is going to be in northern scotland and round about now. there is cloud coming in across scotland and northern england and it is bringing showers and rain. overnight the showers retreat back to western areas. clearer skies in the south, chile in the morning, and in the north—east of scotland. tomorrow will be a day of sunshine with a scattering of showers, mostly

light. probably not too many showers in scotland by the afternoon, showers pushing down into england and wales. a dry day across northern ireland and the south—east with some sunshine. temperatures similar to the past couple of days, so 11 to 13 degrees. away from the showers i want to take you back and this is a satellite picture from this afternoon. this looks rather menacing and this is a band of rain that will come sweeping across the atlantic into the uk. the only band of rain we will see over the next few days. nowhere near as wet and stormy as it has been. it moves away from here very quickly during the morning and it moves eastwards and is followed by sunshine and some blustery showers as well. maybe a little bit chillier across scotland on wednesday, eight or 9 degrees. the rain may linger in the south—east into the afternoon but they should not be too much rain. just a short time ago there were

still 19 flood warnings in england, mainly in the south. but river levels have dropped and we should see those numbers dropping as well. after the rain sweeps through on wednesday, the rest of the week brings sunshine and showers. thanks, darren. and that's it from the bbc news at six now its time for the news where you are, goodnight. welcome to sportsday, i'm jane dougall. "a disgrace" — angelo mathews�* assessment of bangladesh, who pushed for him to be dismissed for not getting to the crease in time. if they want to play cricket like that, stoop down to that level, i think, something is wrong. a return to his old club, but can pochettino stop tottenham from going top of the premier league tonight?

and, accusations of bullying from manchester city women's manager gareth taylor, as his side lose to arsenal. welcome to the programme. history was made at the cricket world cup today — but for controvertial reasons. sri lanka's angelo mathews became the first international cricketer to ever be timed out, and he was furious. mathews protested that his helmet strap had broken, stopping him from being in position to face his first ball within the required two minutes, but opponants bangladesh insisted he was in violation and so, he went. the former captain said they had brought the game into disrepute. it came amid difficult conditions for both teams with an air qualify emergency declared in dehli

in the days leading up to the match, which bangladesh won. patrick geary was watching. a murky dehli. schools are off, building req has stopped them up at the cricket goes on. the world health organization rates the conditions is very unhealthy, both bangladesh and sri lanka have mist training sessions in recent days, both have questioned the safety of the match, when they did train, bangladesh wore masks and took precautions. fill" bangladesh wore masks and took precautions-_ precautions. our doctors keep a close eye _ precautions. our doctors keep a close eye on — precautions. our doctors keep a close eye on players. _ precautions. our doctors keep a close eye on players. some - precautions. our doctors keep a close eye on players. some of l precautions. our doctors keep a l close eye on players. some of the players can't turn up for practice because they are asthmatic. so they are indoors. and even for practice, we are very conscious, we train what we are very conscious, we train what we have to train and they go back into the dressing room stop at the

international cricket council who organised the tournament say the air at the ground has been passed as safe by independent experts. fans, spink is air purifiers are used to improve conditions, so play began and sri lanka started hazily. with that style. this was the fourth and it brought to the crease angela matthews, but apparently, too slowly. he had an issue with his helmet, but the clock had been taking. bangladesh were watching when two minutes past with matthew's not ready to back, they appealed. timed out. nobody has ever been dismissed that way in international cricket until now dismissed that way in international cricket until nov— cricket until now matthews into history very _ cricket until now matthews into history very reluctantly. - cricket until now matthews into history very reluctantly. while l history very reluctantly. while others checked the dust year parts of the rule book, this man wisely got a move on which made a century helping sri lanka. innings closed, but the matter wasn't sri lanka's mood hardly improved by the presence of bangladesh's captain. the pantomime villain made 82 before matthews the bowler got some

payback. 210 for three to square, matthews is more interested in the time. by then, bangladesh were well on their way to victory. for sri lanka, this was still raw. it on their way to victory. for sri lanka, this was still raw. it was an equipment — lanka, this was still raw. it was an equipment malfunction, _ lanka, this was still raw. it was an equipment malfunction, and - lanka, this was still raw. it was an equipment malfunction, and i- lanka, this was still raw. it was an | equipment malfunction, and i don't know where the common went because obviously it is disgraceful from bangladesh if they want to play cricket like that. obviously stoop down to that level, i think there's something wrong. drastically. bangladesh that they simply played by the rules, but by action and atmosphere, this was a game of shades of gray. strong words there from angela matthews. i spoke to niall o'brian. i asked him how tough it was to play when the air quality isn't good. i’zre

the air quality isn't good. i've been a five — the air quality isn't good. i've been a five or— the air quality isn't good. i've been a five or six _ the air quality isn't good. i�*e: been a five or six times, i've never been a five or six times, i've never been the plane cricket at this time of year, so it's something that's not quite normal for me, of year, so it's something that's not quite normalfor me, but speaking to players in and around india, it's been difficult. preparation has been very hard. a number of players have really struggled to prepare properly which can affect your mental state going into a game, but also sri lanka in 2017 committed play test match and wore masks. i think something that is an issue leading into the preparation of practice, and it is certainly affected sri lanka and bangladesh. certainly affected sri lanka and bangladesh-— certainly affected sri lanka and banuladesh. ,, ., ., bangladesh. quite a controversial issue. we bangladesh. quite a controversial issue- we saw — bangladesh. quite a controversial issue. we saw angelo _ bangladesh. quite a controversial issue. we saw angelo matthews i bangladesh. quite a controversiall issue. we saw angelo matthews to bangladesh. quite a controversial- issue. we saw angelo matthews to be the first international batter to be timed out, what is your understanding of what happened? you know, it understanding of what happened? i'm, know, it was amazing, really, because there was so much going on and following the game, it was difficult to grasp exactly what was happening and when it was happening, the facts of the matter that we have been told from the officials is that angelo matthews wasn't ready to face the ball within the two—minute period, so the laws of the game, you have to be ready within three minutes. at this those rules

supersede the mcc laws. you have to be ready inside 122nd. the fourth umpire said that the batter wasn't ready within 120 umpire said that the batter wasn't ready within120 seconds. the fact that angela matthews had an equipment failure for want of a better expression, the strap for his helmet failed him to happened after the two minutes had elapsed. so that was irrelevant. let's go to a different section. is it morally right? should the captain had followed there but the appeal? what i'm led to believe, speaking with people at the venue, the empire gave him two opportunities to withdraw the appeal, to chances effectively to take and hold onto minutes, this doesn't sit right with me can and both times the bangladesh captain said, no, i'm heavy. it's in the rules. he wasn't ready within two minutes and i went to follow through and it created quite a scene. what and it created quite a scene. what do ou and it created quite a scene. what do you feel _ and it created quite a scene. what do you feel should _ and it created quite a scene. what do you feel should have _ and it created quite a scene. what do you feel should have happened? and it created quite a scene. what - do you feel should have happened? as do you feel should have happened? is an x player can i wouldn't be comfortable. i was always in the thick of the action. i would not

have been comfortable appearing and travelling there with an appeal. we have all done things as players in the heat of the moment and said something to somebody or done something, and at the end of the day can you take it back and say i wish i didn't do that i wish i could go back in time. and the heat of the moment, he was given the opportunity from the captains to take a step back. do you want to follow through with this appeal? do you want to uphold this moment in time that is going to create a lot of animosity, a lot of hysteria, a lot of conjecture around the world of cricket? i think personally, i would've taken a step back and settled on a minute, i've got that wrong. let the game proceed. let matthews continue. bud wrong. let the game proceed. let matthews continue.— wrong. let the game proceed. let matthews continue. and we have heard that hrase matthews continue. and we have heard that phrase a — matthews continue. and we have heard that phrase a few _ matthews continue. and we have heard that phrase a few times _ matthews continue. and we have heard that phrase a few times today, - that phrase a few times today, spirit that the game, and we saw some images actually afterwards of the sri lanka coaching staff shaking hands with the bangladesh players, but that sri lanka players were nowhere to be seen. i but that sri lanka players were nowhere to be seen.— but that sri lanka players were nowhere to be seen. i don't like that. whatever _ nowhere to be seen. i don't like that. whatever happens - nowhere to be seen. i don't like that. whatever happens on - nowhere to be seen. i don't like that. whatever happens on the | nowhere to be seen. i don't like - that. whatever happens on the field to my big believer, whatever happens on the field, and i have had as many

rows on the pitch is anybody in the world can i've ruffled feathers all around the world, but my big belief is what happened on the pitch stays on the pitch, and i was the first person to apologise or shake somebody�*s hand post match. i didn't like seeing sri lanka storm off the pitch. it makes a bit of a macquarie of the coaching staff and management coming down and shake hands. so i think if they are going to act, they should act in solidarity, but seeing them stormed off and i would've liked them to take the moral high ground and shake hands with bangladesh and wish them well, but it left a bit of a sour taste. bonfire night may be over, but we're expecting fireworks later when mauricio pochettino returns to his old club tottenham. he's now in charge of a chelsea side who are in the bottom half of the premier league table. they've won only three league games this season — in sharp contrast — tottenham have won eight. bbc london reporter phil parry is at the tottenham hotspur stadium for us. hello. welcome along to the tottenham hotspur stadium with

commentary from eight o'clock tonight. the football news show has been looking ahead to tonights fixture and their guest knows one of the managers particularly well. spanish football journalist guellim balague followed pochettino early on in his managerial career. he's been speaking to ben croucher. football, it's tribal, it's different and he may dust ——but there may be a bit of a hostile reception. he will be used to it because when he went to southampton there were some people that felt also they were betrayed for him leaving and you know what it is, i am a spanish band, when he left i was hurt, i didn't want him to go. i think when your first love gets away from you when you have given permission, ——haven't given the permission for that to happen. i think it's a bit like that, spurs fell in love with him and they wanted it to continue but they clearly couldn't because he wasn't backed up

in the market to begin with and perhaps didn't believ in his path. all in all, had to move on, went to psg and now he's been given the opportunity to manage a top contender in the premier league and he had to accept, of course. if we take a look at his time in chelsea, only 12 games so far, it hasn't quite worked. you mentioned at the start that he has manager that heeds time, he is a project manager. can he get that at a club like chelsea and what do you think you can achieve that? the reason why i'm going to say yes you can it's because after some false starts i think within chelsea, the decision makers, the top of decision—makers have realised that time is required. this comes on the back of having spoken to frank lampard i'm sure you have, i have. in saying that the culture we had to, the winning culture is gone.

you have to rebuild it. he's done at spurs so because he has and succeeded, i'm pretty sure it will happen at chelsea. and there's more from guillem balague on the latest episolde of the football news show — "pochettino: friend or foe?" — which is available now on the bbc iplayer. that's tonight's football, but tomorrow, there are several at manchester united to stop after he missed saturday's win at fulham through injury. rashford was criticised by manager erik ten hag after he went out to celebrate his birthday, just hours after the 3—0 loss against manchester city a week ago. the fa have said they're investigating after tragedy chanting took place during yesterdays match between luton town and liverpool.

a spokeperson said they would work with luton and the police after a section of luton fans were accused of chanting which indirectly referenced the hillsborough disaster. the fa says it condemns chanting of that nature. and the rebel group holding luis diaz's father hostage has demanded "security guarantees" before his release. the national liberation army — known as the eln — said the ongoing military and police search "would delay the release and increase the risks", according to colombian media. big news in the women's super league over the weekend, chelsea manager emma hayes is to leave the club at the end of the season and is hotly tipped to become head coach of the usa national side. after 11 years and 13 trophies with the club, it'll be a big task to replace her. chelsea beat villa 6—0 at the weekend, in a busy fixture list in the wsl. and there was some animosity in the arsenal, manchester city game. city manager gareth taylor today said he stood by his accusation that arsenal managerjonas eidevall was "bullying" the fourth official.our women's football reporterjo currie joins us now. jo, let's start with emma hayes — she's built such a legacy at chelsea, but perhaps time for her to move

on? despite the fact that this announcement took most people by surprise, the timing of it makes a lot of sense. you touch on legacy there. her legacy and the women super league but also in the club is a really unrivaled. 13 trophies in 11 years is quite frankly sensational. the only thing that still eludes her is the champions league. she got chelsea all the way to the final in 2021, where they where well beaten and it may be that she leaves without ever becoming the european champion, but her stock is incredibly high, so it's understandable that the usa who had a horrible world cup in the summer look to someone of this magnitude. she's one of the greatest managers in the world, and it makes sense for anna hayes with nothing left to prove, she's when everything there is to win, so when the biggestjob in the world comes knocking, as looks like it is can it make sense for her to potentially take it step looking at some of the other

fixtures. i know that you were at arsenal's whenever manchester city yesterday, and there were some tempers flaring between the two managers, what happened? there were some heated exchanges between gareth taylor, arsenal beat manchester city in the post match interview. i asked gareth taylor about these flare—ups and said it must have been a frustrating afternoon. at this point he accused him of bullying the fourth official and gareth taylor said he himself was protecting her. manchester city painterly cup this week and i held a press conference today and was again asked, did he stand by these comments, and essentially he said he did. we were told at the bearinnin said he did. we were told at the beginning of— said he did. we were told at the beginning of the _ said he did. we were told at the beginning of the season, - said he did. we were told at the beginning of the season, and i said he did. we were told at the beginning of the season, and if| beginning of the season, and if you are just _ beginning of the season, and if you are just continually asking for yellow— are just continually asking for yellow card in a red card that kind of stuff. _ yellow card in a red card that kind of stuff. of — yellow card in a red card that kind of stuff, of course, yeah, was asked the question— of stuff, of course, yeah, was asked the question and i answered it. i thought— the question and i answered it. i thought it — the question and i answered it. i thought it was over the top, and that's_ thought it was over the top, and that's why— thought it was over the top, and that's why we had a disagreement. i think it _ that's why we had a disagreement. i think it was — that's why we had a disagreement. i think it was over the top. i think it is unnecessary and like i said, we have — it is unnecessary and like i said, we have been told earlier in the season —

share our experiences with our friends and family, but it's a very special moment for everyone. i’m special moment for everyone. i'm ruessinu special moment for everyone. i'm guessing a _ special moment for everyone. i'm guessing a few sore heads as well. was this scene as a bit of a local derby? is the animosity between the two sides? i derby? is the animosity between the two sides? ., �* ._ derby? is the animosity between the two sides? ., �* ., , two sides? i wouldn't say animosity. i don't two sides? i wouldn't say animosity. i don't think— two sides? i wouldn't say animosity. i don't think many _ two sides? i wouldn't say animosity. i don't think many of— two sides? i wouldn't say animosity. i don't think many of the _ two sides? i wouldn't say animosity. i don't think many of the players - i don't think many of the players are concentrating on the opponents more so the occasion itself, playing in the first round proper, it is not something that we as players on our level would normally play at a lot in our careers, sojust to level would normally play at a lot in our careers, so just to sort of take the occasion in, not really think about the opposition, more so just think about performing well, taking the occasion and, you know, having a day to remember. sham taking the occasion and, you know, having a day to remember. am sure ou will having a day to remember. am sure you will be — having a day to remember. am sure you will be thinking _ having a day to remember. am sure you will be thinking of— having a day to remember. am sure you will be thinking of them - having a day to remember. am sure you will be thinking of them head i having a day to remember. am sure you will be thinking of them head of the replay. how important would it be for you to get a win and to progress through the fa cup is yellow well, aside from the financial gains, you know, the club

just sort of the feeler on the ground has changed already, really. the club deserve it, everyone is excited for the reply i the club deserve it, everyone is excited for the reply— excited for the reply i can't wait to see the _ excited for the reply i can't wait to see the amount _ excited for the reply i can't wait to see the amount of— excited for the reply i can't wait to see the amount of people i excited for the reply i can't wait. to see the amount of people that turn up because if you compare it to the usual league games that we get, we struggle to get maybe 100 people down there. so to see it's packed out, hopefully would be a great site not only for the players but for the club is on. and because we always hear about the financial implications help a club like yours out. do you feel that that is going to maybe make a difference to your season? i wouldn't say so. i think as a group, the players are very close, so any money that comes in will be purely for doing up the grounds or whatever the club wish to do with it. yeah. i think as a whole, the team well, you know, well enjoy the occasion more so than the actual financial gain.

i that you will. we are wishing you all the luck in the world had of this match. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us. thank you so much. cheers, take care. finally, we mentioned the scheduling issues with the wta earlier in the programme, with some players not managing to get from cancun to seville for the billiejean king cup — well, three of the five members of the czech team have been held up — but the players who were there, wanted to make sure the others were included in the preparations. czech captain petr pala and two of his players, marie bouz—kova and linda noskova, had theirfirst training session in seville, where they were joined by lifesize cardboard cut—outs of barbora krech—i—kova, katerina sinia—kova and marketa vondros—ova. so, fingers crossed that is not going to rain because the cardboard cutouts will turn to mush.

don't forget kick off between tottenham and chelsea is injust over an hours' time. tottenham can go top of the table with a win. you can keep up to date with that match on the bbc sport website and bbc sport app. that's all from sportsday.
