school's off, building work has stopped, but the cricket goes on. the world health organization rates the conditions in delhi as very unhealthy. both bangladesh and sri lanka have missed training sessions in recent days. both have questioned the safety of the match. when they did train, bangladesh wore masks and took precautions. doctors keep a close eye on players. some players did not turn up a practice because they are asthmatic. so they stayed indoors. even for practice, we are very conscious, we train what we have to train and they go back into the dressing room. the international cricket council, who organised the tournament, said the ground has been passed as safe by independent experts. ferns, sprinklers and our purifiers were ferns, sprinklers and our purifiers were used ferns, sprinklers and our purifiers were used to ferns, sprinklers and our purifiers were used to improve conditions.
3:46 am
so play began and sri lanka began hazily. wickets fell. this was the fourth and brought to the crease angelo mathews. but apparently too slowly. he had an issue with his helmet but the clock had been ticking. bangladesh were watching. when two minutes passed with mathews not ready to bat, they appealed, timed out. no—one has ever been dismissed that way in international cricket until now. mathews into history, very reluctantly. while others checked the dustier parts of the rulebook, asalanka got a move on. he made a century which helped sri lanka to 279 all out. innings closed but the matter was not. sri lanka's mood hardly improved by the presence of bangladesh's captain. the pantomime villain made 82. matthews the bowler got some payback. 210—3 the score, matthews is more interested in the time. by then, bangladesh well on the way to victory. for sri lanka, this was still raw. it was an equipment malfunction and i don't know where the common sense went because obviously it is
3:47 am
disgracefulfrom bangladesh if they want to play cricket like that. obviously stoop down to that level. i think there is something wrong, drastically. bangladesh said they simply play by the rules, but by action and atmosphere, this was a game of shades of grey. patrick geary, bbc news. so drama in delhi, as patrick was saying, by the time a team—mate appeared with a helmet, the on—field umpires marais erasmus and richard illingworth told mathews he was timed out. captain shakib al—hasan also appealed for that and explained his reasoning. one of our fielders came to me and said if you appeal, the law says he is out, because he has not taken his card within the timeframe. i appealed to the umpire, on whether to call him back
3:48 am
or not, i said he was out and then call him back it does not look good. we played in the u19 team world cup for a long time, i have known him for a long time, since 2006. unfortunate, but within the rules. earlier, niall o'brien, the former ireland international, gave us his take on what's been perhaps the most controversial incident of the cricket world cup so far. what i'm led to believe from speaking to people at the venue, the umpire, the two umpires gave two opportunities to withdraw the appeal. two chances to say effectively, "hold on, this does sit right with me" and both times the bangladesh captain said, "no, i'm happy, i'm within the rules, he wasn't "ready within two minutes i want to follow through." it created quite a scene. as an ex—player i would not be comfortable. i was not a great deal. as wicket—keeper i was always in the thick of the action. i would not be comfortable and appealing and following through. we have all done things as players in the heat of the moment, said something to somebody or done something and at the end of the day,
3:49 am
you take it back and think "i wish i had not have done that and could go "back in time." in the heat of the moment the captain was given the opportunity to take a step back, do you want to follow through with this appeal? do you uphold this? the moment in time that will create a lot of animosity, a lot of hysteria, conjecture around the world of cricket? i think, personally i would have taken a step back and said "i have got that wrong, let the game proceed and let "matthews continue with the innings." nile o'brien them. all eyes turn to mumbai on tuesday, to see if afghanistan can pull off another shock at the tournament, and get the better of australia on their mission to reach the semi—finals. they're still in with a shout, after victories over england, pakistan, and sri lanka. they were joined by a famous visitor to their final training session on monday, a certain sachin tendulkar dropped in to wish them the best. coach jonathan trott knows his team must win and then beat south africa on friday if they're to be in contention. we give ourselves a good chance and that is what we have done. we have given ourselves a chance. exciting game tomorrow. looking forward to it.
3:50 am
it is a fantastic ground to play and such history and fanaticism with the crowd and it feels like the crowd is right on top of you because you're so close ina smallground. hopefully we can add to that history a little bit. what a thriller to tell you about in the english premier league on monday evening, as chelsea came came away 4—1 winners at tottenham, who took the lead but were reduced to nine men. mauricio pochettino returned to his former club, and came away with the points, ending tottenham's unbeaten start to the season. in a real topsy turvy london derby. nicolas jackson's late hat—trick proved to be the difference, in a match full of var interventions, which saw five goals disallowed, and two tottenham players sent off — cristian romero and destiny udogie. cole palmer's penalty levelled the match, after dejan kulusevski's early opener for spurs, who battled hard but chelsea's advantage proving too much in the end. with the necessity to win, and that is why we sometimes will lose all we did not have the possibility to be more relaxed in the space
3:51 am
they gave us. but in the end i think it is the victory and for us really important because now we have another game really important on sunday against manchester city. a fair bit going on. a lot of var intervention and i guess from my perspective a hard game to sit here and analyse. but proud of the players' efforts, so right to the end i was trying to create something for us to get something out of the game. the players could not have given any more than they did. part of this game is about will and effort and determination. they showed plenty of that today. a boost for manchester city, striker erling haaland has been training, ahead of their european champions league match with young boys on tuesday. haaland was withdrawn at half—time of saturday's premier league victory over bournemouth with a twisted ankle.
3:52 am
city are top of the group standings, with three wins from their first three matches. a win on tuesday will ensure passage to the knockout stage. of course i have two more opportunities, but the chance to finish and qualify for february for the next stage. it means a lot for the club. so many years being qualifiers so success for the club. being there is a success and enough time to qualify is really, really good. let's remind ourselves of the other fixtures on tuesday night. barcelona will be looking to book their place in the knockout rounds for the first time in three seasons when they face ukrainian champions shakhtar donetsk. celtic drew 2—2 with atletico madrid at parkhead two weeks ago to collect theirfirst point in group e after three matches. psg lead group f by two points
3:53 am
and will be favourites against bottom side milan, after hammering the italians 3—0 at the parc des princes a fortnight ago. iga swiatek dominated americanjessica pegula 6—1, 6—0 to win the season—ending wta finals in cancun and regain her world number one ranking from aryna sabalenka. the polish four—time grand slam winner broke pegula five times and saved the only break point she faced en route to herfirst wta finals trophy, in a match delayed a day due to rain. rassie erasmus has confirmed he'll return as head coach of rugby union world champions, south africa. he's expected to lead the team's preparations for the 2027 rugby world cup in australia. outgoing coach jacques nienaber will be taking a new role at irish side, leinster. that is just about it from us for now. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team here at the bbc

sport centre, goodbye. thank you very much for watching. see you next time. take care. hello there. after a day of sunshine and showers to start the week, it's not been quite so colourful overnight, there hasn't been as much solar activity. we have seen the northern lights earlier in the night though, across northernmost parts of scotland and with clear skies by the morning in the north—east of scotland, temperatures will be close to freezing. it will be a chilly start in the clearer skies in southeastern parts of england as well. tuesday, though, is going to be a day where we see some sunny spells. we see a scattering of mostly light showers. in scotland, most of the showers in the far west. once again, there may be fewer showers than monday in northern ireland. and those showers
3:55 am
will get blown eastwards across england and wales, very few are reaching east anglia and the southeast of england on that westerly breeze and temperatures very similar to monday, so 11—13 celsius — and that's near normal for the time of year. so leave the showers aside, though. i want to take you back into the atlantic. this was a satellite picture from earlier. this massive cloud really looming large there. and that's a band of cloud and rain and that's going to whistle its way eastwards overnight in time for wednesday morning. we're all getting the rain overnight and it may well have cleared away from northern ireland by wednesday morning. windy first thing through the irish sea. the heaviest rain is going to be over the hills of wales and western scotland, but the rain soon moves away from here in the morning following that band of rain. as it chases away eastwards, we'll see plenty of sunshine but then the showers come rattling in on that westerly wind, and temperatures may be a bit lower actually in scotland, 8—9 degrees. now, there may not be too much rain in the south—east of england, but the rain could linger into the afternoon. and we have seen quite a number of flood warnings across southern parts of england, but river levels have been dropping.
3:56 am
the number of flood warnings has been reducing as well. and after that spell of rain on wednesday, we'll get back into sunshine and showers really through the rest of the week. as the weather front is out of the way and the rain band out of the way, we see the low pressure areas that are driving it, drifting down from the north west, bringing the showers. probably bringing some stronger winds as well on thursday. as you can see, the bulk of the showers in the west, but also driving through the english channel and some of those showers will move into eastern areas during the day. the showers could be heavy and there may well be some hail and thunder in there as well. and those temperatures as we head into thursday, back to 8—12 celsius.
