in the final of the cricket world cup. australia will meet the hosts, india. but it wasn t a straightforward semifinal. they were up against south africa, who initially struggled, losing four early wickets before recovering to push australia right to the end. however, the five time champions used all their experience to battle through and take a nervy three wicket win, asjoe wilson now reports. what s in those south african expressions? pride of course, but nerves? well, first over of the match, their captain temba bavuma out. south africa chose to bat first they like to bat first. quinton de kock that s only going for pat cummins. australia caught everything. the kolkata conditions suited their bowlers. south africa for a while could barely score. when rassie van der dussen fell, it was 2a 4. heinrich klaasen resisted until this dismissed by the part time spin of travis head. through it all, david miller kept strong, kept swinging. his 101 gave his team something a t

todayis on the best chance of seeing that today is in the north of scotland. in scotland we started the day in some places below minus seven celsius, the coldest night so far but with clear skies we have four patches but the best of the sunshine. in the south are a small plant, tied in with a star named by the french weather service, storm frederico, it has dealt us a glancing blow, blustery winds in the channel islands and a lot of cloud around. this next band of rain pushing from northern ireland into west wales, feeling quite chilly. this evening and overnight this band of rain sweeps east, could be the odd heavy thundery shower, some showers following. if this skies remain clear in the north of scotland we could see for patches and like last night temperatures could drop below freezing but it s a chilly night wherever you are. into tomorrow, a window of mostly fine weather, couple of residual frontal systems but this ridge of high pressure building for a time so yes we se
