There as well. Yet these three macro batsmen all fell these three batsmen all fell these three batsmen all fell these three batsmen all fell. It was unbelievable when it read five three. What made it enthralling throughout the afternoon was that india was getting in touch. We had to try to hit texas. He was the one play in the indian team who was scoring at a decent rate of more than one run able. When you are trying to hit sixes will not always come. Eventually he found zealands captain. Imagine being under this one. At this stage it seemed like the world cup was on the line. Even when jadeja was gone, the world cup was on the line. Even whenjadeja was gone, ms dhoni was still there. They put on a 100 partnership. A great throw from Martin Guptill to get that run out. That is when hope died. New zealand we re that is when hope died. New zealand were in the final four years ago. Maybe we should stop thinking of it asa maybe we should stop thinking of it as a surprise. Having settled that, both england and australia will play in the second semi final tomorrow. They will be secretly, privately glad that they might be playing new zealand are not india. At the halfway stage we sort of wanted 240, 250, and we knew we would be competitive if we got back because the surface played the way it did. But then to have the start of the ball we did was an outstanding way to try nd kick things off and try to get into a position of strength and i thought the way the bowlers and the field operated throughout on a big field on a surface which they had to adapt differently again it was a great effort. New zealand will face the winner of thursdays semifinal at edgbaston between reigning champions australia and hosts england. Pre tournament favourites england lost to australia in the group stage but recovered to reach their first semi since 1992 with wins against india and new zealand. I think we are probably a different tea m i think we are probably a Different Team that played four games ago, that one three games ago. I think the loss against sri lanka hurt us. There was an overhang into the lords game. And then when we came here we managed to produce something similarto here we managed to produce something similar to the cricket we have been playing over the last four years produce something. We improved again. And tomorrow we will look to do the same. We are full of confidence going into this game. Obviously england have probably been the front runners in world cricket of the past four years, the way they have changed the game, the gameplan in particular has been very aggressive, taking it to the opposition. Last we know how they are going to play, they know how we will play, we have played a lot of the last couple of years. It will be whoever holds the nerve, whoever takes the half chances, however stars of the game really well, whether with bat or ball, it will be so important for either side. Whoever start of the game. Whoever start of the game. All of the top three seeds in the mens draw are through to the semi finals at wimbledon.

Some of that humidity is going to spark off a few thunderstorms. Certainly across northern and eastern parts of the country on thursday. Not everybody is going to get them though. This is what it looks like through the early hours. So already some showers dotted around across the uk. The south is largely dry early in the morning. And very warm 15 16 degrees after dawn, just in the north west there, maybe around 12 degrees in stornoway. Now, low pressure is crossing the country on thursday. Thats going to spark off some thunderstorms. Once again across scotland and eastern parts of the uk. Further south it is looking dry. The weather is looking absolutely fine for wimbledon. Partly cloudy skies. Temperatures around the mid 20s and light winds. But still quite humid. So the forecast for the morning, showers possible almost anywhere across central, northern england, scotland, maybe one or two in northern ireland. It is later on from lincolnshire, the eastern counties, and eastern scotland where we will see the heaviest of the showers brewing. 20 degrees in the north. In the south, around 25 or 26. Another warm, humid day. Lets zoom into eastern scotland. These showers will continue to move across scotland into the evening hours and, again, thunderstorms possible almost anywhere from yorkshire northwards. Thursday night into friday, that low pressure pushes away. This High Pressure is trying to build on that will help improve the weather as we head into the weekend. Here is fridays weather forecast. There is a shift in the wind direction, coming from the north west. It will put away some of that humidity. Temperatures will drop a touch as well. On friday, again, further showers are possible in some eastern areas of the uk. Temperatures typically around the low 20s, maybe touching 23, 2a degrees in southern parts of the uk. Thats friday. Lets have a look at saturday. The winds mostly in from the north. So feeling a little bit fresher, i think, across the majority of the uk. It will cloud over at times. There is the chance of one or two showers, but on the whole it is a dry saturday for most of us. Not a bad one. Quite a bright one. Temperatures typically 21 22 degrees. Sunday looks fairly similar as well. In cardiff, 2a, light winds, really a very pleasant saturday and sunday on the way. Bye bye. Welcome to bbc news. Im mike embley.
