And rain and talking about the wind, with storm dylan approaching, the met office have issued an amber weather warning for strong wind targeting Northern Ireland and scotland. Gusts could reach up to 80 mph and they will be their first thing in the morning in Northern Ireland. If these winds get to a westerly direction through the central belt, that is where we could see some of the strongest winds and they would be very damaging winds if that were to happen. Power cuts would be possible, and some disruption to transport will be likely bringing down trees. Through the rest of the day, the strongest winds will edge added to the north sea leaving us with a blustery day, heavy and thundery showers, temperatures between six and i2 degrees but those words could cause real problems for Northern Ireland and scotland through the morning.

Another busy day of sport as we ticked towards the end of 2017 and despite the ashes being out of rush route for england, joe root said he was proud of their response. As Patrick Geary reports, another century from steve smith took victory away from england on the final day in melbourne. England fans were the noisiest and most visible element today. They were hoping to see a first dramatic victory of this ashes series. In the end steve smith got in the way, batting australia through for a draw and scored another century. It was an anti climactic end for england. Morning has broken, but would the australians . With the weather kinder after the rain yesterday, england were up against vanishing time and two batsmen in anything but a hurry. When david warner shuffled to his 50 he had been at the crease for more than three hours. Joe root had been given a puzzle for his birthday. He decided he might be the answer and he came on to bowl, warner took the bait and james vince took the cash. Stuart broads accuracy and the agility ofjonny bairstow removed shaun marsh. The other marsh was bogged down initially but mitchell escaped. Steve smith was still there as he had been all day, as he always seems to be. With england getting no help from the pitch and even less from the australian captain, all that was left was for smith to complete his century and secured the draw. England could not shift him, whatever their efforts. A draw meant that england would not have to suffer the embarrassment of a 5 0 whitewash but they did not get the victory they felt their performance deserved and i asked the england captain whether his main emotion was pride or frustration. I am very proud of the way they went about it. Came off three very difficult games and putting in a performance like that is pleasing and that is what we are about as a side. It is a fair reflection of what we are capable of asa team. On a very unresponsive wicket, to perform the way we did on the first and second day was outstanding. There has been criticism of this pitch which has been slow and has not allowed free scoring or easy wicket taking and even steve smith who scored so many runs on it said it was not an ideal surface. I dont mind if they are flat as such but they need to have some pace and carry in them. This wicket has none of that, it skids through basically and if you look at their caper and slips through out the game, we are standing so close and i dont think it is good for anyone. Let us get more reaction from geoffrey boycott. I think everyone who has seen england play should go away with confidence. Whether they can deliver the same again, i dont know, i am not in their head. This one, we have not just played with them, we have been in the ascendancy for most of the time which has not test, that pitch is known to spin so might england call up mason crane . They will want to build on an improved performance here to get that all important first victory. Patrick geary in melbourne. Missed opportunity for england. Celtic played out a goalless strong with rangers and they are 11 points ahead of their rivals in the table. Adam wilde has more. If this has been the season of peace and goodwill, it was never likely to continue here. Few footballing cities are divided quite like glasgow and in recent times these teams have been further apart. It is now more than seven years since rangers beat celtic in the league. This did not look like changing. James forrestjust a fingertip away. Rangers would have plenty to thank their goalkeeperfor, keeping celtic out time and again. Those who have seen it all before know that if you wait long enough, fortunes changed and in this derby, rangers fans only had to wait until the second half. Now they were making the chances, forcing the saves. If that was brilliant by craig gordon, the next was astonishing. Neither keeper deserved to be beaten and neither was. The great rivalry ends for another year, both missing the chance to have the last word, both with plenty on which to reflect. Adam wild, bbc news.
