It was a low—scoring affair though, batting first, pakistan were helped by fatima sana's 30 offjust 20 balls as they made 116. In reply, sri lanka never really got going with only two players reaching double figures, as pakistan took control of the match. Sadia iqbal was the pick of the pakistan bowlers, taking 3/17 as they won by 31 runs.

Our sports editor dan roan has spoken to sir ben in barcelona. It's a big moment for the team, we have worked incredibly hard for this over the last ten years, actually, was at 18 for the cup in 2017 and now, here we are in the lewis vuitton cup final, one went away adding into the america's cup are critically one went away so we are not getting carried away with ourselves, we have to get that one more win and plenty of what's the psychology here because when you are this close to something, you've been trying to achieve for so long, it must be very tempting to start imagining how it will be to get through to the big one, the america's cup itself, how do you manage to put a lid on that sense of anticipation and start fresh? you are right. There is the expectation and people can see it, it's within grasping distance now but the way we approach it is really every race at a time. That's it from sportsday. Goodbye. Hello there. It's a dry, chilly, bright start to the day on friday for much of the country. However, we have been seeing some changes taking place overnight, with a weather front pushing into northern ireland and western scotland. That's brought more cloud, breeze with outbreaks of rain, but elsewhere, it stays dry all day thanks to this area of high pressure. This is the weather front that's been working its way in off the atlantic. The first of a series of fronts tied in with low pressure there. So a cloudy start, breezy, outbreaks of rain for northern ireland, western and northern scotland. But southern and eastern scotland, england and wales, it's a chilly start, bright, some early mist and fog, and it stays dry with sunshine into the afternoon. Light winds, as you can see, but breezier further north and west. Temperature wise, well, after that chilly start, we could be up to 17 or 18 degrees in the warmest spots in the south, closer to the mid—teens further north. And where we have the breeze, the cloud and the rain, it will actually feel quite cool. As we head through friday night, it stays cloudy breezy across northern and western areas, but large parts of england and wales will see lighter winds, clear skies, so, again, it will turn quite cool. Perhaps a bit of mist and fog here and there. Temperatures in low single digits out of town, but a recovery in temperatures for scotland, northern ireland, we're into double digits there throughout the night. Into saturday, our area of high pressure holds on for at least one more day for central and eastern areas, but these weather fronts are really ganging up on us out west. So it looks like england, wales, parts of eastern scotland should see another fine day with some sunshine around after that cool start. The breeze picking up, the rain out west turns heavier later on, certainly for northern ireland. Again, those temperatures mid—teens in the north, 17 or 18 in the south. But it is all change for part two of the weekend, that area of high pressure eventually breaks down, low pressure takes over and sends weather fronts across the country, more isobars on the chart. So it's a cloudy day on sunday, more of a breeze coming up from the south, outbreaks of rain. Most of the rain towards southern and western hills. The odd heavier downpour there and brightness will be limited. Could see a little bit for northeast scotland at times. Temperatures could be up to 18 or 19 degrees in any brightness, the mid—teens further north. But nights will start to get milder as we import this milder air off the atlantic on a south—westerly wind. The upcoming week stays unsettled with low pressure always nearby. There's a chance around the middle part of the week, we could see the remnants of hurricane kirk bring some rain and gales, so stay tuned. Rain and gales, so stay tuned.
