and has been beatenjust once this year. that was by carlos alcaraz in indian wells. the number two is an amazing feeling. i never doubt to come to this point, i come from a very normalfamily, my dad is this point, i come from a very normal family, my dad is still working, as my mum does, so it is very... sport is one thing in life is different, so i'm very happy to be in this position, i am just enjoying every moment, these are special days, winning a tournament does not matter what kind of tournament, it is a special day. so it means a lot to me. england have won the first one—day international against new zealand, largeley thanks to a superb unbeaten 92 from amyjones. they'd slumped to 79—6 in wellington, chasing the hosts total of 207,

before being rescued by a record unbroken seventh—wicket stand of 130 betweenjones and charlie dean. it meant they reached the target with nearly nine overs to spare. every game is important, but i think to start a series well makes it a little bit extra. obviously you don't want to go behind early on in the series, to sue get the win was huge for us, and the holebas and drupal get a lot of confidence from how we managed to get over the line today. sri lanka have a commanding lead in the second, and final, test against bangledesh. responding to sri lanka's first innings total of 531, bangledesh started well, but a middle order collapse saw them bowled out for 178. in a day that saw 15 wickets fall, sri lanka ended their second innings on 102—6, a lead of 455 as they look to wrap up the series having won the first test. nelly korda won her third lpga tour victory on the trot in arizona

after hitting a bogey—free seven—under—par 65 in the final round. the world number one started the day two shots off the lead, but closed with two birdies in her final three holes to set the clubhouse target on 20 under. her closest challenger in the end was australian rookie hira naveed, who finished on 18 under. it was definitely one of my winds today. ijust played really solid golf, did not make too many mistakes, and if i did ijust had a chip cana mistakes, and if i did ijust had a chip can a straightforward trip, overall capitalised on the majority of my good shots out today and made some good putts as well, so overall i was very pleased with how i played today in tough conditions —— it was definitely one of my least stressful

winds today —— wins. and lebronjames has secured a place alongside fellow great michaeljordan in the nba record books as his 40—point haul helped the los angeles lakers beat the brooklyn nets 116—1011. james is only the second player, afterjordan, to score a0 points in more than one nba game after the age of 39. jordan, who played until he was 40, achieved that feat three times with james, 39, having now done it twice, and judging from this performance, you wouldn't bet against him doing it again! it's incredible. told him in the huddle before the last full stretch, just extremely thankful that he packed a cake on the load trip —— road trip. got to keep fighting, so keep scratching and figure out how to correct the situation we are in. some huge shotmaking by him. and that's all the sport for now.

energy prices in england, wales, and scotland have fallen to their lowest level for two years, as the regulator's new quarterly price cap came into force. prices in northern ireland are not controlled by the price cap — the government provides support directly to customers. despite this new support for other parts of the uk, charities say customers still owe billions of pounds to suppliers. from this saturday, class 1 national insurance contributions will drop from 10% to 8%. if all that is added together, the government says thousands of households will be around £3850 better off in the next year — although some critics say that doesn't take recent high levels of inflation into account. here's the business minster kevin hollinrake on bbc breakfast. you've got much better chance of finding a job than you had in 2010. there's 11.2 million morejobs in our economy and 1.2 million people, fewer people unemployment. so really good news all round.

and in terms of those price increases you're talking about, of course, the work we've done on inflation — more than halving inflation. it was 11%, now 3.5%, roughly. it will be 2% by the end of the year. those bills aren't rising as quickly as they would have been. we'll come on to inflation in a minute because bills are still going up, they'rejust going up less quickly. but you say it's good news. it's not all good news, though, is it, this morning? the institute of government analysis says that real incomes are lower than when parliament began in 2019. resolution foundation says that inflation, highertaxes, mean the average household will be £1,900 poorer by january of 2025. more people are paying tax because of that freeze on tax thresholds. 3.2 million extra taxpayers. 2.6 million more people will pay a higher rate of tax. the institute of fiscal studies says that the chancellor's budget plans will inflict more pain than the austerity drive. that's not good news.

this is not people feeling better off. well, official fiscal studies you just referenced have said how the budget really helped people lower incomes. and that's what we're here to do and we have done very significantly since 2010. so that rise in national living wage, £10,000 in cash terms since 2010, which is a 35% real terms increase. that's after taking into account all those inflationary things you talked about. the energy price cap is not the only financial change affecting households across the uk from today. the average annual water and sewerage bill will rise by 6% in england and wales, up £27 to £473. council tax rises vary — most will go up 3% or 5%, exceptions are financially troubled birmingham where council tax will go up 21% over two years and scotland where it's mainly frozen. most broadband and mobile phone providers are currently introducing mid—contract price rises of up to 8.8%.

and also changing today — the national living wage, known by many as the minimum wage, is going up by more than a pound an hour. the main wage rate goes up from £10.42 to £11.44 an hour, and it will also now apply to workers aged over 21, rather than 23. that means someone working full—time on that wage will have a pay rise of around £1,800 per year. sarah pennells is the consumer finance specialist at pension company royal london. i asked her if today's energy price cap reduction was good news for customers. it does really depend on someone�*s individual circumstances, which sounds like a bit of a cop—out, but it does depend on your wage level. it does depend on the tax bracket you're paying, whether you use broadband, how much energy you use. i think to sort of pick off some of the easy ones, i mean,

the energy price cap, which as you said in your introduction, it covers 29 million households, those who are on the standard variable tariff. that is good news because it will mean an average saving for this typical user of £20 a month. now, not everybody will save that amount, partly because obviously if you use more energy, then you pay higher bills. and also those people who pay their bill when it arrives won't make that saving because the energy price cap for them is only falling tojust under £1,800. now, traditionally, people who pay for their energy before they use it on a pre—payment meter, they've paid a lot more — but that hasn't been the case for the last couple of years. and from today, they'll actually pay slightly less than people who pay by direct debit, which has not happened before. but as you say, other things... i was going to say, standing charges, they're always a really interesting one, aren't they? there's nothing people can do to stop those prices going up. yeah, and as you say, the level of standing charges is rising by —

it does depend on on who your supplier is and the fuel that you're using — but by up to 10%. so, as you said, 60p a day in some cases, and that means somebody who doesn't turn their gas or electricity — doesn't turn on a light, doesn't turn on the heating, will still be paying about £330 a year, just on the standing charges. and this is something that the regulator is currently looking at and it had thousands of responses to its consultation. so we could see some movement on that, but not today. as a consumer finance specialist, what would your advice be to people that are looking at these headlines today and wondering whether they're going to be better off or worse off? i think it's a case of looking at your individual spending. so basic things, for a start, if you are on the standard variable tariff and you don't have a smart meter, then submit a meter reading if you haven't done that already. at least then you'll be charged by today's prices, the lower prices for the energy that you use from today onwards. but also, if you're looking at other bills as well, broadband,

if you are in a contract, then unfortunately there are very limited circumstances that you can move to another another provider. but millions of people stay with the same provider when they're out of contract. so you may be able to find a better deal there. and even on energy, previously the energy market — since, really, the price rises — hasn't been very competitive. but i was looking around today, there are some deals that could make you a bit better off and also some of those measures that we were hearing about in the report earlier on about making sure that you use less water, less energy. i know a lot of people are already doing them, but there may be some changes that you could make that could just save you a few pounds extra. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. today we have seen some rain moving

very slowly northwards, followed by some sunshine and some showers. that pattern will continue over the next few days. we will keep those colder east or north—easterly winds in scotland, whereas much further south, the winds are south—westerly, bringing milder conditions, and that is where the wet weather will be coming in from. these are our temperatures this easter monday afternoon. probably making 15 in east anglia and the south—east. a bit more chilly underthe rain in northern england and southern scotland. the rain is continuing to move northwards this evening. the showers that follow tend to fade away but we will keep some showers running eastwards across southern counties of england. that rain in northern england and northern ireland pushes further north into scotland. the lowest temperatures tonight will be as the cloud breaks up in the north—east of england. we still have some patchy rain tomorrow in scotland, particularly in the north—east of scotland. early showers in the south—east will be followed by some sunny spells.

cloud will build up, showers likely to develop, and then we will see some further rain in the south—west in the afternoon. temperatures are more widely going to reach 14—15 in the midlands and eastern parts of england with some sunshine and the showers, but quite a bit more chilly in the stronger wind in the north—east of scotland. we have got some rain in the south—east during the afternoon, that is pushing northwards on tuesday night. this area of low pressure will be sitting over the uk on wednesday, keeping it very unsettled. showers or longer spells of rain moving northwards across england and wales, into scotland and northern ireland. southern parts of england and wales probably turning drier with more sunshine during the afternoon. that will give the temperatures a bit of a boost. only 7—8 celsius with the cold north—easterly wind in scotland and also the rain as well. these are the upper level winds, the jet stream pattern. this is going to be maintained over the next few days. the jet stream picking up areas of low pressure and then sliding them up from the south—west, together with the weather fronts bringing the spells of rain.

so we have some wet weather to begin on thursday in northern scotland. another band of rain moves northwards, followed by some showers, and then we see some further longer spells of rain arriving in southern parts of england and wales during thursday afternoon. temperatures show the same sort of theme, milder in england and wales.
