of time and win a goal to come henderson claimed it but it was in on goal. two minutes later, it was money having better luck with his toe then his head. in the end, it was a dominant performance. although it's only half—time. still the long and winding road to the final looks clear. there was one game in the championship tonight, where middlesbrough beat cardiff city 2—0 to keep their play—off

given the responsibility” to work with some young and exciting bowlers. and that's all the sport for now. many parts of scotland, northern ireland had decent spells of sunshine. across central and eastern england we had some cloud yesterday. this is called strata cumulus. through the afternoon in hastings that cloud began to break up. because it's a think aloud it's only sent to be just you got sunny blue skies and once it starts to go it can go very, very quickly. it was lovely end to the day here. i'm telling you about that because that's what this type of cloud is running enough literacy affecting parts of eastern england and the midlands at the moment. that is going to be prone to thinning and breaking up a bit more as we go through thursday. with clearer skies out towards the west as cold of the week of frost to watch out for heading into the first part of the morning. now, across southern england a better chance of seeing some sunshine, should have sunshine as well across much of the northwest of the uk. i suspect this cloud will tend to erode. here is most likely to keep it into the afternoon will probably east midlands, norfolk and suffolk but otherwise most of you will see some sunshine. try for many, in odd showerfor northern scotland and southwest england but in the rest of the century were looking at highs up to 16 degrees. it's a similar kind of day on friday. again, we start off with some of that patchy cloud coming in at but many of us it's a dry day, again with clouds two spells of sunshine for the starting to turn a little bit warmer, 17 the top temperature in cardiff and glascow. after this lengthy spell of dry weather caused by this high—pressure were going to see changes into the weekend. it starts to weaken to allow this weather front to move in from the north and west. saturday, although england and wales looking at a another fine day with further spells of sunshine it not much thicker cloud heading into scotland and northern ireland with outbreaks of rain especially through the afternoon. the rain turning heavier and steadierfor time. temperatures out of the rain around 15 or 16 degrees which will fill pleasant given the light winds. through saturday nights and a sunday the rain was southward across england and wales as it does it will weekend so it will turn lighter and patcher. temperatures on sunday it should reach a high of around 14 or 15 degrees with the best of the dry and brighter weather in scotland and northern ireland. welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines.
