Play abandoned for the day but the weather did tease us, it tormented us. At one stage, the umpires were happy the covers were off. We even had a toss of the coin scheduled for 3pm but when the clock came round to three oclock, the covers we re came round to three oclock, the covers were back on, the rain had returned. That brief respite did giving them the opportunity to award Joffra Archer with this test. It was crispjordan Joffra Archer with this test. It was crisp jordan who Joffra Archer with this test.

You can read about that on the website on the bbc sport app. You can go either of those mediums to read more about liverpool winning the super cup, beating chelsea 5 four on penalties but from all of us, until next time, goodbye. Hello. For many of you, wednesday was a bit of a washout, to say the least. Thursday, however, looking much, much better. The bulk of you will spend if not all but certainly most of the day dry and a lot brighter and feeling a little bit warmer as well. We are sort of between weather systems on thursday, this weather system which brought the rain on wednesday, some heavy showers through the night and into thursday morning, more persistent rain around shetland, this is the next weather system for friday so in between those two, weve got a fair bit of cloud to begin with. Nowhere near as chilly for the thursday morning commute as it was on the wednesday morning commute but a few showers here and there, scotland, parts of Northern Ireland Northern England and north wales, more persistent rain in shetland with showers pushing the way eastwards and largely fade in intensity and number as they go, leaving most places under mostly sunny skies during thursday afternoon and with a lot more sunshine around, slightly lighter winds, of course it will feel warmer than it did on wednesday and that sunshine of course, a bit stronger as well this time of year. We finish the day with sunshine hazy across Northern Ireland, could be a bit of evening rain here but through the night, cloud and rain and wind start to push in from the north and west. Parts of the midlands, Eastern England will stay dry with some clearer skies and the coolest conditions down into single figures once again, but the temperatures here but mostly in the teens as we start friday morning but as you can see, its going to be a day for the umbrella but also to really have a tight grip on it because this area of low pressure also brings with it strong winds. Its out at the atlantic at the moment but it pushes this weather front on its forward edge, bringing rain to most parts of the day on friday, scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England and wales, the wettest part will be likely be during the morning as rain spreads its way southwards and eastwards and after a bright start in the south east corner, it will turn here wetter into the afternoon, and more persistent rain across southern counties of south wales through the afternoon with scotland and Northern Ireland seeing more sunshine but across the board it will be a blustery day with winds topping out around gale force around many coasts and hills. That same area of low pressure will be with us into the start of the weekend, keeping things like friday a little on the cool side. We have winds coming down from the north atlantic around it and they will continue to feed their way in, feeding showers. The more persistent rain linked to this weather front will be just about clearing for saturday morning. Early risers across the south east may be still on the wet side but sunshine will come out for a time before that weather front inches northwards once again, turning the sunshine hazy across the south and turning things wetter in the channel islands. Vast majority, though, saturday, the story of sunshine and showers. Showers more frequent around scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England and some of those happy with hail and thunder. Cool on sunday with the chance of some more persistent rain, close to the south coast. Most stick with sunshine and showers and quite a windy one this weekend too. Welcome to bbc news.
