Bangladesh is grappling with a record deadly outbreak of dengue fever with nearly 300 People Killed and Tens Of Thousands infected this year. Hospitals are struggling to make space for patients as the disease spreads rapidly in the densely populated country. Now on bbc news hello and welcome to sportsday im paul scott At The Bbc Sport centre heres what weve got for you. History beckons englands netballers reach the World Cup Final for the very first time. The bhoys are back celtic see off ross county as they make a winning start to the defence of their Scottish Premiership title. And comfortable wins for spain and japan, who are the first teams through to the Quarter Finals of the womens world cup. Also coming up on sportsday. More success for Great Britain in the cycling World Championships, three golds including in the Mountain Bike downhill for Charlie Hutton and a remarkable comeback from scotland, as they beat france in their world cup warm up. We begin with bit of history for englands netballers. Theyre through to a World Cup Final for the very first time, after a nerve shredding victory over new zealand in cape town. There was nothing separating the two sides heading in to the final quarter, but as ben croucher reports, it was the roses who managed to get the job done. In cape town, reaching the summit can be hard work but the view from the top is worth it. England are going to the final of the world cup for the first time england are almost there. Youve got to say, england totally deserved the win. In new zealand they were notjust facing the defending champions but the team that they lost to in the last three semifinals. This time, it would be different. Shot for shot, goalfor quarter to quarter, the scores were level, nothing between them. The Semifinal Teetering on the edge, but this game can turn on a turnover, and withjust minutes remaining, england had a final place in their hands and didnt mess. Englands roses have finally blossomed in the world stage. With never made a final, but i think it is about sticking to ourselves and remain consistent, that is something we have spoken about for the whole tournament, remaining consistent for the whole tournament. So far in south africa, england have let down their netball do the talking. Just australia stand between them and the very top. Straight after the match, six time world cup player geva mentor and england head Coachjess Thirlby described their emotions. I know it is predictable but it is just pride. Like, i just feel the journey this group have gone on, Everyone Wants the same thing. Every team will say that theyve learned but i think, for the last couple of games, there has just been a different feel in this campaign. And ijust think, you know, sometimes you have to just sit tight through the ups and downs, wins and losses, and this group have done that and they have been with the open, as have we, with where we can make the biggest difference. But it has only been tweaks this last 12 months but what a difference. To see out a game, goal for goal, like that, is not something that has been characteristic of eyes yet and i think, to overcome australia than to be able to play a game of that nature and finish with a 56 goal run against the reigning World Champions and the number two ranked team, ijust think it is the mental side of our game that has massively shifted and they cannot be proud of how they weathered that, and sometimes it does take 58 minutes before you get the reward, and it is really pleasing to see them finish the game off like that. Hopefully for us as a team, it just gives so that license just to play free now, which we have been doing throughout the tournament. There were a lot of nerves to me to this game, we wanted it so bad but to be able to come back and fore as it is for the building that grass roots. You want to perform at the top level but you have got to showcase. We have a fantastic sport and hopefully that really shows it. So england will face australia in the final tomorrow, they beat jamaica 57 54 in another close fought semi. There was nothing to separate the sides at half time but the ii time champions edged clear in the last minutes of the final quarter. The diamonds extended their proud record of never having missed a netball World Cup Final and face a rematch with the side that beat them just two days ago. We had potentially a ten goal lead in that game against england and unfortunately let that slip. They came back and took it was really well so it is going to be a very tough match tomorrow and i think it is going to be over the cracking game. A 60 minute performance that we are looking for. Well, Katharine Merry is part of the bbc team covering the world cup and was there for both semi finals. So, to fabulous semifinals here in cape town at the Netball World Cup. England roses making history, getting into that super final tomorrow for the first time ever. Understandably very, very pleased but not getting carried away. Jamaica felljust short, so it is australia who will be in the final against england tomorrow, and who doesnt love a sporting battle between england and australia . The aussies have won it 11 times, england have never won this world cup title but remember, england beat australia just a few days ago. It is going to be an absolutely massive battle will england finally get their hands on the Netball World Cup . Join us from ii 45pm On Bbc Two tomorrow to find out. Plenty to look forward to. Well, that is of course not the the only world cup taking place this weekend. We now know the First Quarter finalists at the womens football world cup. There were impressive victories for spain, who thrashed switzerland 5 1, and the 2011 champions japan, who saw off norway 3 1. Nick parrot rounds up the action. Spain came into this match off the back of a 4 0 defeat to japan in their final group game. That wasnt a result fitting of a team ranked sixth in the world. In front of a record breaking crowd for a Football Match in new zealand, they were determined to prove that was just a blip. A barcelona midfielder opened the scoring against switzerland and spain looked on their way. The swiss had struggled for goals in the group stage, scoring just twice. A defender helped them out in quite bizarre fashion. An absolute shocker to give switzerland an equalising goal. To her relief, it was switzerlands only shot on target in the match. As spain ruthlessly atoned for the error. The lead was restored. A second strike. And just before, she made up for her own goal by adding spains fourth. The third goal of the tournament for this player completed the second half. It is the first time spain have reached the quarterfinals where they will face either the netherlands or south africa on friday. We are happy with our win and with how we played. It was an important day for everyone but, above all, for this team. We have the confidence that we could advance. I knew that switzerland was going to have to do very well in order for us not to advance today but we also know that we have to improve if you want to be in the semifinal. Japan are seeking their first womens world cup title in 12 years and have barely put a foot wrong in this tournament. The same cannot be said for former champions norway. They lost to new zealand and could only draw with switzerland in the group stage. An own goal immediately put them on the back foot against japan. An equaliser a few minutes later was the first goal japan had conceded but it was as good as it got for norway. Japans lead was restored early in the second half. This players fifth goal of the tournament kept on course for the golden boot and sealed her sides progress to the finals. Well, england will be looking to book their place in the last 8 when they take on nigeria in brisbane on monday. 0ur Reporterjane Dougall has been with the england camp. Englands preparations for the first knockout match are well under way. That convincing 6 1 win over china has reminded england fans of the entertaining way that the lionesses are known for playing. Plus, the strength and depth of the manager and her squad, but they will have to bring all of that and more when they face nigeria on monday. They are known as the Super Falcons and they performed well above their fifa ranking of a0. Beating the host australia 3 2, and Holding Canada to a 0 0 draw. They have a tight defence, only conceding two goals all tournament but they are probably best known for being a very physical side. The midfielder who made her for a start against china this tournament says that england are prepared for all the challenges that nigeria will bring. I dont think it is a concern at all, i think we go into every game the same. We know that we can compete. We have got a real variety of strengths within the squad and i think that is what makes us so dangerous. Its amazing to see them going to the knockouts and they are not the only team that have got a higher ranking that have been able to make it through, and i think it really shows how far womens football has progressed. England held a closed Training Session just over the water here earlier on saturday. They depart for brisbane on sunday in preparation for mondays match. It is encouraging that the midfielder keira walsh has been training, albeit on her own, as she continues her rehab for a injury. But the tactics and formation against china have demonstrated that plan b without walsh can work. Brendan rogers made a winning return to the celtic dugout, on the opening day of the new Scottish Premiership season. Last seasons Treble Winners beat ross county 4 2 at celtic park as Craig Templeton reports. Domestic trilogies are familiar fables at parkhead. Something that Brendan Rodgers managed in part one of his celtic story. Now time for the sequel. Well, the opening pages were ones of tension. Joe hart was unable to read the situation. Ross county close to capitalising, but they would be let down by defensive lapses themselves. Sims dangled a leg, taylor went over it, penalty. Turnbull made it 1 0 and now the narrative was looking more normal. And when it was made two shortly after, the shaky start had been forgotten and the champion was in control. So much so that when the ball was floated to the back post, turnbull had two and celtic had three. County pulled one back but then the home side pulled away once more. The highland side did have the last word but, overall, for the returning rogers, chapter one of this premiership season was a good one. In the opening days other results two late goals saw hearts beat stjohnstone, aberdeen were held to a goalless draw by livingston and dundee drew 1 1 with motherwell. The late game between kilmarnock and rangers is into the second half, kilmarnock taking the lead in the last few minutes, i 0 there. Brad lyons with the goal. Meanwhile, the new English Football League season also got under way today. It was a perfect start for new watford boss valerian ismael. His side scored 4 times in the first half to beat qpr in the championship. There was also a victory for newly promoted plymouth who beat huddersfield 3 1. And a big win for stoke who saw off rotherham 4 1. Norwich scored a 96th minute winner to beat hull 2 1. All the efl results can be found on the bbc sport website. Including a heavy defeat for wrexham on their return to the efl they were beaten 5 3 at home by mk dons in league two. All the reaction from the championship, leagues 0ne and two on the bbc sport website and app. Lets have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. New Manchester United signing Rasmus Hojlund was unveiled at old trafford ahead of their friendly win over lens. The 20 year old arrives from italian Side Atalanta for around 72 million pounds, but is set to miss the first few games of the season with what the club say is a � small injury�. A day to remember for alex marquez. The Gresini Ducati rider held off Marco Bezzecchi to claim his first ever motogp win, in the british grand prix sprint race at silverstone. Championship leader Francesco Bagnaia finished 14th. And britains elvin evans has his second World Rally Championship victory of the season in his sights in finland. The toyota driver has a 32 second lead over belgiums Thierry New Ville going into tomorrows last four stages. Theres been further success for Great Britain at the cycling World Championships in glasgow. Three gold medals so far already today. Nesta mcgregor is there for us. Charlie hatton battling against not just his fellow competitors but the conditions as well, to claim gold. Yeah, i think winning a World Championship is an impressive feat but the way that Charlie Hatton did it, he performed the ride of a lifetime in the rain and even more impressive when you consider he was chasing times set by riders who had gone out before the downpour. The 25 year old says he is road the circuit many times and to get the best out of it he had to attack it and that he did. He was Dodging Trees at speeds of up to 80 kilometres per hour. Then, like that wasnt nerve racking enough, he had to sit and wait for other riders to complete their times but in the end the look on his face was a mix of m the look on his face was a mix of joy and disbelief. I couldnt believe he had been crowned World Champion and as the last went across the line he was mobbed by team mates and photographers as the realisation that he was a World Champion sunk in. I that he was a World Champion sunk in. , � that he was a World Champion sunk in. I am not sure if im shaking because im in. I am not sure if im shaking because im colder in.

No. Ve , success in the womens event . No. Very. Very success in the womens event . No. Very. Very close. Success in the womens event . Iirm very, very close, though. There success in the womens event . Iiru very, very close, though. There was, at one point, when Great Britain were in the gold, silver and bronze but in the end those riders had to settle for positions four, five and six. But very, very respectable especially when we consider the case of one athlete because last year she suffered a horrendous crash when she went over her handlebars. She suffered and four days later had blurred vision. She did not think she would have a ride again so to finish so high up in an elite field is very, very impressive. Worth mentioning Rachel Atherton as well. Just yesterday, during practice, she dislocated her shoulder. She popped it back in and reported today. She finished eighth. So there are no medals for Great Britain but had there been for bravery than they would have been on the podium today. Attention has turned to the warmth dry and noise of the velodrome where you are but already successful Great Britain there this evening . Britain there this evening . Yeah, there is something britain there this evening . Yeah, there is something magical britain there this evening . Yeah, j there is something magical about this velodrome because the days of competing so far. Every day Great Britain has won gold medals. Earlier it was the one kilometre time trial. Sam is 33. He is from rugby. He also compete in athletics. Is a World Champion cyclist. And he got his medal he was like a kid on christmas model, he can get it round his neck fast enough. All those years of hard work on the gym and on the track finally paying off so congratulations to sam. Not long after, Great Britain had the ninth gold medal and this time it was the time trial. He is well known around these parts because he works in the Television Industry and he is also known for having some of the best facial hair around. And he didnt disappoint on the track with a razor this morning. Afterwards, during his interview, he was sporting more spectacular facial hair.

I can confirm without a Shadow Of A Doubt that i have not taken the reported substance, in this camp or at any point in my life. I am completely innocent and i ask to be given the time to go through the process of proving this. So the rematch is off, butjoshua could still fight at london� s 02 arena if a Replacement Opponent can be found. The fight was set to be a rematch of the 2015 bout, whenjoshua knocked out whyte in what was a heated british title fight. There� s just over a month to go until the Rugby Union World cup gets under way in france. England are taking on wales right now in cardiff in their warm up match, more on that in a moment, but 1a Man Scotland completed a quite remarkable turnaround against france at murrayfield to win 25 21. Dan 0gunshakin reports. Rain has meant there was very little play in the hundred today. England are taking on wales right now in cardiff in their warm up match, more on that in a moment, but 1a Man Scotland completed a quite remarkable turnaround against france at murrayfield to win 25 21. Dan 0gunshakin reports. The time for Scottish Experimentation was over. A full strength scotland, russell captain for the first time. They faced an unfamiliar france 15 but one that still bristled with attacking intent. Some new faces on show but the same gallic flair. As scotland struggled, france fizzed. A Second Tryjulie followed. , duly followed. Scotland wasn� t looking bright but a Change Of Ends but a change of momentum. Graham applied the required touch to russell� s kick. That, despite scotland being down to 1a. Now, scottish momentum is irresistible. A third try electrifying murrayfield and helping seal a historic comeback. New zealand staged an incredible comeback to beat australia in dunedin. The all blacks were trailing 17 3 at the break, but second half tries from Shaun Stevenson and Samipeni Finau got them back into it with the scores level at 20 points all, new zealand had this penalty in the final minute which richie mo� unga sent over to seal victory. Her later, ireland host italy, while argentina and south africa go head to head. Rain has meant there was very little play in the hundred today. The women� s games between Manchester 0riginals and london spirit and birmingham phoenix against Trent Rockets were both abandoned without a ball being bowled. There was some play in the men� s match between 0riginals and spirit at old trafford. England white ball captain jos buttler hit 62 for manchester as they made 138 5 from 80 balls. But then the rain returned and that match also had to be called off. And the men� s match between phoenix and rockets was due to start at 6pm at edgbaston but the rain intervened in that one as well. There was some hope when officials came to inspect the pitch but the Rain Restarted and that match has now also been abandoned. Gold medalfor great gold medal for Great Britain. Gold medalfor Great Britain. It was donein gold medalfor Great Britain. It was done in some style as well. She completely dominated in the 200 metres freestyle final, finishing well clear of the rest of the field. It is our third world title and she is looking in great form ahead of the paralympics in paris next year. A turn for the last lantern i got to see the clock so anyway i was out, which is kind of nice because now you don� t get that, to get me that extra push on the last land that i definitely needed. Yeah, i am loving it and it is honestly, just looking forward to paris next year and getting to base in front of a big crowd again. 0bviously, getting to base in front of a big crowd again. Obviously, i didn� t get that crowd in tokyo and am looking forward to it in paris. Next week sees the first ever european Para Championships take place in rotterdam. Amongst those competing will be boccia World Champion Claire Taggart from larne in northern ireland. The new multi sport games will showcase ten para sports and, in boccia, any gold medallists will automatically qualify for next year� s paris paralympics. . Nicola mccarthy went to meet claire in training. Just over six months since returning to belfast as World Champion, she is on the road again in the hunt for more silverware with one eye also on that elusive paralympic medal. A good opportunity. It is the first time outside a paralympics that para games have been held in a multisport opportunity. It is like a miniature paralympics, getting to meet lots of different people and see other sports as well, i think that will be very important. And preparation for paris. Last time out for the native who spends four days a week in the gym secured a silver medal at the euros in seville. So what will it take to make it gold . Using the experience that i have had at the world last year, it is a privilege. Not everyone gets to compete in elite sport and, for me, it is just about remembering that it is a privilege and enjoying what i� m doing. The awareness of the sport should hopefully change and, with paris just being around the corner, i think that is really important. Because, severe physical disability can see other people competing at the elite levels in sport, that they would be able to play, then they� re not going to see the opportunity that they have in front of them. The inaugural edition of the european Para Championships begin on tuesday. Before we go, a recap of our top story england are through to their first netball World Cup Final after beating new zealand in south africa, they will face australia in that final, that is live on bbc two from ii 45pm tomorrow afternoon. Do not miss it. Thank you for watching. Hello. Dare i say it . Saturday felt like quite an autumnal day in many parts of the uk. It was cool, it was windy. You can see big waves crashing onto the south coast of england. There were some really heavy bursts of rain. That was the scene for a Weather Watcher in staffordshire. It� s all thanks to storm antoni, this swirl of cloud, this storm system named by the met office. But the area of low pressure responsible will be sliding eastwards as we head through tonight and into tomorrow. So tomorrow should be a somewhat drier and brighter day. Still some areas of cloud and some splashes of Rain Across Eastern Parts of england as we head through the night. Further west will see clear skies, some showers feeding in across some Western Parts and temperatures actually dropping away. It� s going to be quite a cool and fresh night, seven, eight or nine degrees, and that� s in some of the towns and cities out in the countryside. It may getJust A Little Bit chillier than that, but after that, quite cool fresh start, a sunday will see this area of High Pressure trying to build. It� s not going to be a completely dry day, but on balance, it should be a drier and a brighter day than saturday has been. So some clouds, some rain, a bit of a breeze across Eastern England for a time. Further west, sunny spells and showers. Some of the showers heavy, possibly thundery, particularly across parts of scotland. A slightly warmer day for many 17,18 or 19 degrees. That is still a bit below par in most locations. Now, as we look ahead to monday, i think we� ll see more in the way of dry weather, spells of sunshine, not as many showers at this stage. Later in the day, a bit more cloud roll in across the south west of england, parts of wales and northern ireland, ahead of some splashes of rain. Temperatures, again, Just A Little Bit higher, 16 to 21 degrees. But as we head deeper into the coming week, initially we� ll have some frontal systems bringing a little bit of rain here and there. But High Pressure looks set to build later in the week, this High Pressure building to the south east of us. And that will allow us to tap into some warmer air. We� ll be drawing that up from the south. And so temperatures around the middle part of the week, wednesday and particularly into thursday will begin to climb. Some places are likely to get into the middle. 20 celsius could be looking at highs of 26 degrees or maybe a little higher than that. But it might not last because rain is set to return by the very end of the week. Live from london.
