The big sports stories, news, and updates from day three of the first Ashes Test, as England struggle. With Rachel Burden and Phil Williams in the UK, and Mark Pougatch in Brisbane.

Away from the cricket, how much football will their be in the SPL this weekend, with referees on strike? Motherwell boss Craig Brown tells us at the start of hour two that he still doesn't know who will referee his team's game against Hearts on Sunday, while in hour three, new Scottish FA chief executive Stewart Regan on attempts to break the strike.

We keep a close eye on the wintry weather, and monitor troop manoeuvres in South Korea in response to this week's skirmish.

Also, we look ahead to the mass demonstrations due in Ireland at lunchtime, as protesters call for alternative ways to tackle the economic crisis.

Ronnie O'Sullivan takes a little time out of preparing for his Premier League semi-final to speak exclusively to Phil Williams, and we also hear from England international and Toulon rugby union star Paul Sackey.

Plus, in the final half-hour, the new Moto GP world champion Jorge Lorenzo, along with commentators Charlie Cox and Steve Parrish, take your questions.
