ScotRail has said train services to the Open Golf Championship in Troon will run despite ongoing strike action.

Members of the RMT have staged walkouts on seven days in the last month, with three more stoppages planned for Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
The union is in dispute with ScotRail over staffing concerns on new trains.
Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said planning was "well-advanced" in order to minimise any disruption caused by the strike action.
The RMT said it had "the overwhelming support of the Scottish people".
The transport minister said ScotRail was offering an "enhanced timetable above the regular provision".
Mr Yousaf added: "More services and carriages will run between Glasgow Central and Troon throughout Thursday to Sunday to allow the vast majority of people to travel to and from the venue with minimum disruption to travel plans."
However, ScotRail has said some trains to Glasgow from other parts of Scotland would have a reduced service and different departure times.
Those travelling to The Open were advised to check the ScotRail website or app for the latest updates and leave extra time for their journey.
The ongoing dispute with the train operator and RMT union concerns the operation of train doors by drivers instead of onboard conductors.
The union said it was defending its policy of no extension of driver-only trains and for guards to be in control of operating doors.
ScotRail has insisted there will be no job losses or pay cuts with its proposed changes.
Mr Yousaf added: "These strikes are disrupting passengers and affecting the reputation of Scotland's railways, and they should be suspended to allow talks to conclude and a way forward agreed."
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "The minister and his colleagues in the Scottish government need to remember that this dispute has been created byAbellio/ScotRail via Transport Scotland on behalf of his own administration who have the power to sort it out.
"RMT has been engaging with the public over the last eight weeks and we have the overwhelming support of the Scottish people who want to see a safety-critical guard on our services and not this watered down version of scheduling a second person on the train who has no safety-critical function and who can be removed at the drop of a hat."


A group of six holidaymakers has been rescued from Buchan Hill in Galloway by an RAF search and rescue helicopter.

The Galloway Mountain Rescue team received the emergency call at about 22:00 on Wednesday.
The group from the Doncaster area, who got into difficulties while descending the summit of the popular Buchan Hill, was airlifted to safety at midnight.
One of the group, a 56-year-old man, suffered an asthma attack.


American scientists have shed light on why a common and often serious lung infection in people who have cystic fibrosis can be so hard to treat.

Researchers at the University of Washington have discovered different survival traits in bacteria, depending on where in the lungs they are lodged.
Scientists say this may have helped some bugs evade antibiotic therapy.
One in every 2,500 babies born in the UK has the genetic condition which affects the lungs and digestive system.
The mucus produced leaves people prone to stubborn lung infections, often caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria.
Inspecting lung specimens, researchers discovered that separate regions of the same lung had vast arrays of pseudomonas that behaved differently, despite originating from the same strain of bug.
Scientists hypothesise that over time the bacteria become geographically separated (for example by mucus) and then evolve different characteristics to help them survive in these new conditions.
And according to lead researcher, Dr Peter Jorth, some of the bacteria they studied developed "dramatically" different levels of resistance to antibiotics.
Researcher Dr Pradeep Singh added: "This may be part of what makes treatment so difficult. When bacteria sensitive to one kind of stress - for example an antibiotic - are killed, functionally different sibling bacteria are there to take their place.
"This diversity provides insurance for the bacteria in a way because others can take their place if the antibiotics work on them."
Researchers say this also raises the possibility that other chronic infections - such as wound and sinus infections - have similar mixtures of bacteria.
But they caution more work needs to be done to replicate these early results.
The study appears in Cell Host & Microbe.
Dr Keith Brownlee, from the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, said: "The findings of this research are interesting.
"It's great to see researchers working hard to understand how respiratory infections develop and progress."
"The greater understanding we have the more informed clinicians can be. This allows them to advise people with cystic fibrosis more effectively to help manage their condition and help prevent lung damage."


Liberal Democrat AM Kirsty Williams has been named education secretary in Carwyn Jones's new Welsh Government.

Vaughan Gething is promoted to the cabinet as health secretary, and Ken Skates to economy.
Alun Davies returns to government as minister for lifelong learning and the Welsh language, outside the cabinet.
Welsh Labour leader Mr Jones was reinstalled unopposed as first minister on Wednesday, following a deal with Plaid Cymru.
It came a week after the first vote was deadlocked at 29-29 between Mr Jones and Plaid leader Leanne Wood.
After he was sworn in as first minister on Thursday, Mr Jones said he was "delighted to introduce the team who will be taking Wales forward over the next five years".
He said they would have "a central role to play in delivering our priorities and leading and directing the work of the Welsh Government on behalf of the people of Wales".
"As I said in my statement to the assembly yesterday, this will be an open, inclusive, and transparent administration, ready to work with others where it is in the national interest," the first minister added.
"A critical five years lie ahead. My relentless focus, and that of my cabinet and ministers, will be on driving improvement in our economy and in the vital public services that the people of Wales rely on every day.
"I am confident this is the team with the talent, the vision and the ideas to deliver opportunity for all, and build a united, connected and sustainable Wales, now and for future generations."
In other changes, former Health Minister Mark Drakeford is named finance and local government secretary, while Jane Hutt moves from finance to become chief whip and leader of the house.
Mr Skates will retain responsibility for culture and tourism, which he held as a deputy minister.
Julie James and Rebecca Evans remain as junior ministers.
Ms Williams, the sole remaining Liberal Democrat AM, had been the only non-Labour member to back Mr Jones in the tied vote for first minister.
Her appointment as education secretary is subject to ratification by Lib Dem members at a special conference in Newtown, Powys, on Saturday.
Welcoming the invitation, she said:  "Government in Wales has entered a new era.
"Where there is common ground, we must have the confidence and ambition to work together for the good of its people.
"The test of our new approach is not the warmth of our words, but our commitment to get things done."
Mr Jones said: "Kirsty has a wealth of experience and is one of the assembly's most able politicians.
"There are areas outside the education portfolio where we have had productive discussions, but this invitation to join the Government does not constitute a coalition agreement," he added.
"Both of us are very clear about that - as are our parties.
"Welsh Labour, of course, remains committed to delivering on our manifesto promises made to the people of Wales.
"This is a new era for Welsh politics, and today's agreement reflects the need for Wales' progressive politicians to work together."
"For me, growing up in Llanelli, becoming a Welsh Liberal Democrat wasn't the easy choice," Kirsty Williams told activists at the party's annual conference in February.
"For the easy route, you'd join Labour. But, that was unthinkable."
Fair enough, you might think.  The next line was "We're not here for ministerial cars", in case people were not getting the point.
But in this topsy-turvy year for Welsh politics, it seems anything is possible.
What do the two sides get from the deal? Kirsty Williams gets the chance to implement party policies in government, something no Welsh Lib Dem has been able to do in Cardiff since 2003.
And Carwyn Jones gets a measure of stability - crucially the additional vote that comes with having Kirsty Williams in government makes it impossible for him to lose a vote of confidence in the Senedd: a crucial measure of comfort when you don't have a majority.
But before Ms Williams can get going on her bulging in-tray - which includes probable changes to the tuition fees regime - there's one more hoop to jump through.  The Welsh Liberal Democrats need to approve the appointment at a special conference, in Newtown on Saturday.
After the past two weeks of political drama, who'd bet against a further twist?
The deal with Plaid Cymru allowed Mr Jones - first minister since 2009 - to form a government, with a series of policy concessions to Plaid and an agreement to consult on the Welsh budget, legislation and further devolution.
Labour needed opposition support after the assembly election on 5 May saw the party fall short of a majority.
Plaid leader Leanne Wood wished the new ministers well, but added: "People deserve a government that will deliver for them.
"I hope that this new cabinet will be able to deliver tangible improvements to people's lives in a way that previous Labour governments have failed to.
"Yesterday, I warned the newly-elected first minister that if Labour's sense of entitlement and complacency in government continued then Plaid Cymru would not be afraid to stand up to them in our role as official opposition."
Meanwhile Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies denounced a cabinet of "Labour has-beens", which he claimed "offers voters little hope for the successful governance of their country over the next five years".
"That Kirsty Williams is now joining Labour's Magic Roundabout, which she has spent the last five years railing against, is astounding and shows how elastic her principles really are," he added.
UKIP AM Mark Reckless warned Ms Williams to remember the backlash against the Liberal Democrats when they broke their promise not to increase university tuition fees in England.
"With Diamond Review due to report soon on tuition fees for Wales, it could be groundhog day for betrayal by Lib Dems," he said.


A television sports presenter who was placed in a coma after contracting malaria in Rio has arrived back in the UK.

Charlie Webster, 33, who has worked for Sky and ITV, became unwell after watching the Olympic opening ceremony.
She was taken to hospital where she was diagnosed with a rare strain of the disease.
Webster, from Sheffield, is in a stable but serious condition at St James's Hospital in Leeds.
In a statement she thanked the public for their support and said doctors in Brazil had saved her life.
She added: "The last few weeks have been hell and I'm just so thankful to be here."
The presenter was admitted to hospital after becoming unwell while watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on 6 August.
Doctors initially believed she was dehydrated after completing a 3,000-mile charity cycle ride to the Brazilian city.
But her condition deteriorated and she fell unconscious before being placed in a coma.
Specialists are now trying to find out where she may have caught the disease.
Who is Charlie Webster?


Wales cannot take on powers over income tax until an annual Â£300m underfunding by Westminster is addressed, says First Minister Carwyn Jones.

His comments come as a poll for BBC Wales found almost two-thirds of voters think the Welsh assembly should have at least some influence over taxes.
Only about one in three wanted to keep the current system where the assembly has no power to vary taxes.
Support for Welsh independence remains weak, with 7% backing it.
This would rise to 12% if Scotland leaves the UK, according to the research.
The poll also shows strong support for the Welsh government's public sector-only approach to the NHS.
Pollsters ICM found 28% of people thought the assembly should have the power to reduce or increase all taxes.
A total of 36% said some tax-varying powers should be devolved within limits agreed with the UK government.
But 32% thought the assembly should have no powers over taxes.
The institution gained primary law-making powers in a referendum last year, but has no say over taxation.
Acommission into the future of devolutionis examining whether more financial powers, including over some taxes, should be devolved to Cardiff.

It appears that while there's no real demand for independence - even if Scotland leaves the union - Welsh voters have yet to be convinced the current settlement is the right one.
It's striking that less than one year since the referendum more people want to see the assembly's powers increase than think that the current powers are sufficient.
Politicians have always believed that there's no real desire among voters for the assembly to have powers over taxation.
It's clear from the poll that almost two-thirds of voters believe the assembly should have taxation powers - even if they disagree about the extent of those powers.
Maybe it's not a great surprise that voters in the home of the health service aren't that impressed by the changes the UK government in England - but the four-to-one rejection of the suggestion that Wales should copy the English reforms is one of the clearest results I've seen in any Welsh poll.
Worth noting, perhaps, that neither the Conservatives nor the Liberal Democrats in the assembly have proposed that Wales should go down the English route when it comes to health.
The poll found 29% were satisfied with the powers the assembly has, while 36% said it should be more powerful.
A fifth (22%) thought the assembly should be abolished.
Seven per cent thought Wales should be an independent country, rising to 12% if Scotland votes for independence.
Mr Jones told Radio Wales the assembly has "substantial" new powers following the referendum but the poll showed that there were "still areas that need to be looked at in order to see that the devolution settlement works well".
He said the Welsh government's lack of control over energy policy meant Wales was "losing out big time in terms of jobs creation" in the sector.
He said there were some areas of tax, such as landfill tax, the aggregates levy, housing stamp duty and air passenger duty which he would like to see devolved to Wales.
But he said he would be "immensely suspicious" if the Welsh government was offered power over income tax.
He said independent assessments had shown Wales was underfunded in its grant from central government to the tune of Â£300m each year.
He said: "We're underfunded. If we took on powers over income tax, that would lock in the underfunding forever and that clearly isn't in Wales' interest."
He added: "Independence is simply not in the interests of Wales."
The Conservatives' leader in the assembly, Andrew RT Davies, said Welsh people had rejected independence.
"The arguments for the United Kingdom are clear," he said.
"The union has been a cultural and political strength which advantages all corners of it."
Plaid Cymru, the only one of the four main parties in favour of independence, said the support for further powers showed Wales was "growing in confidence".
Plaid AM Llyr Huws Gruffydd said: "The people of Wales are increasingly putting their trust in the assembly and devolution and they want to see more decisions made in Wales."
Rachel Banner, of True Wales, which campaigned for a No vote in last year's referendum, said politicians had interpreted the yes vote on primary law-making powers to seek control over more issues.
She said: "Last March, we were told that a yes vote would not lead to tax powers and here we are - we have a Silk Commission. Tax powers are on their way, it's inevitable.
"We've got this chain of event arising from the referendum last year that we never had a debate about."
Prof Richard Wyn Jones, director of the Wales Governance Centre at Cardiff University, said the plurality of support for more powers but very little support for independence was "striking".
He said: "People shouldn't be looking at Wales through Scottish lenses. What happens in Scotland makes very little difference to what people in Wales actually want for Wales."
There appears to be little appetite for the kind of NHS reform being pursued by the UK government, with 77% believing service delivery should stay as it is.
Only 18% thought that changes similar to those being introduced in England by the Westminster coalition should be imported.
ICM Research interviewed a random sample of 1,000 Welsh adults by telephone on 24-26 February. Interviews were conducted across Wales and the results have been weighted to the profile of all Welsh adults.


The UK government has signed a document ratifying the world's first comprehensive agreement on tackling climate change.

Parliament raised no objections to the Paris deal; after the government signed the deal on Thursday, it is now just awaiting deposition at the UN.
The government is set to announce tomorrow that ratification is complete.
It comes in the wake of the election of Donald Trump, who has described climate change as a hoax.
The US President-elect promised to re-instate the coal industry in the US and withdraw from the Paris deal which the US has already ratified.
A government spokesman told BBC News earlier this week that the change in power in the US would not divert the UK from its climate change targets.
The Paris Agreement commits countries to taking action to hold temperature rises to well below 2C above pre-industrial levels - and to try to stabilise emissions at a level which would see a temperature rise of no more than 1.5C
It was put before Parliament for the required 21-day period for scrutiny. That expired with no objections raised by the House of Commons or Lords.
The long-standing climate change sceptic MP Peter Lilley told BBC News that he did not object to the Paris Agreement in Parliament because he didn't notice it.
He said: "If I had noticed it, I might have made an attempt to draw together a group of people to object to it. I suspect we would have had more names than last time (the Climate Change Act was passed with five objections) - but it probably would have been a rather ineffective gesture."
More than 100 countries have already officially signed up to the deal, which came into force earlier this month.
Barry Gardiner, shadow minister for international climate change, said: "This strong signal of the UK's commitment to international co-operation on climate change is even more important following the US election.
"The UK Government must now show their commitment through climate action on the ground.
"We face a 47% shortfall to meet our 2030 climate target."
No minister was available for comment today, but the government insists that targets will be met.
Some 20,000 participants are currently attending UN climate talks in Marrakech, Morocco, where negotiators will be discussing the agreement's detail.

US candidate Todd Akin, who caused uproar by claiming women's bodies could prevent pregnancy in cases of rape, has again refused to stand aside.

The Republican congressman said people had over-reacted to his remarks, as he defied pressure from his party to bow out of the Senate race in Missouri.
He has asked to be forgiven for Sunday's remarks on "legitimate rape", which prompted outrage and bafflement.
The gaffe could sink his challenge to Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill.
Correspondents say Republicans fear the backlash could endanger their campaign to win control of the US Senate in November's elections.
On conservative radio host Mike Huckabee's show on Tuesday, Mr Akin announced he would not be quitting the race.
He described the response to his comments as a "little bit of an over-reaction", saying he had mistaken "one word in one sentence on one day".
"By taking this stand, this is going to strengthen our country," Mr Akin said. "I hadn't done anything morally or ethically wrong, as sometimes people in politics do."
The sixth-term lawmaker said he was staying in because there were voters who did not feel represented by the major political parties.
But Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney later joined the chorus of Republican calls for Mr Akin to stand aside because of his "offensive and wrong" comments.
Last week Mr Akin had a comfortable lead in opinion polls over Senator McCaskill in the Midwestern state of Missouri, which has leaned increasingly conservative in recent years.
Then on Sunday, he was asked by local news station KTVI-TV about his no-exceptions view on abortion.
The 65-year-old lawmaker replied: "It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that is really rare.
"If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has said Mr Akin's claim "contradicts basic biological truths".
He also went on Mr Huckabee's radio on Monday to resist calls from prominent Republicans to drop out of the race.
In a face-to-face video message on Tuesday, Mr Akin said: "Rape is an evil act. I used the wrong words in the wrong way, and for that I apologise.
He added: "Fact is, rape can lead to pregnancy. The truth is, rape has many victims. The mistake I made was in the words I said, not in the heart I hold. I ask for your forgiveness."
Five prominent Missouri Republicans also came forward on Tuesday to say they do not believe Mr Akin should remain in the race.
Mitch McConnell, the top Republican in the Senate, has also suggested the Missouri congressman should reconsider his candidacy.
But even as prominent conservatives were criticising the congressman's comments, the Republican Party was reportedly ratifying a call for a constitutional ban on abortion, without any exception for rape or incest.
The position was to be the subject of a vote at the Republican national convention in Tampa, Florida, next week.
The National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee has reportedly told Mr Akin that $5m (Â£3.2m) in advertising set aside for Missouri would now be spent elsewhere.
The Karl Rove-backed Crossroads organisation also pulled its ads from Missouri.
But Senator McCaskill, whose campaign appears reinvigorated by her Republican challenger's slip-up, did not join calls for him to stand aside.
She said Republicans were trying to "kick sand in the face" of their party's voters in Missouri who selected Mr Akin this month as their candidate.
On Monday evening, CNN television host Piers Morgan labelled Mr Akin a "gutless little twerp" for pulling out of an appearance on his show.
A New York Times editorial says that while Republicans are distancing themselves from Akin's comments, his views "expose a widely held belief among many fierce abortion opponents that a rape exception will be abused by women whose rapes were not 'legitimate'".
The Washington Post expands on that argument, saying: "Unfortunately, Mr Akin's remarks are not the first, nor are they likely to be the last, in a long-running effort to downplay the horror of rape as a way to restrict access to abortion. What they're really saying is that not all rape victims are victims, and so we shouldn't worry if they have to deal with unwanted pregnancy."
And the Atlantic says proponents of no-exception anti-abortion policies have tried to downplay or deny the occurrence of rape- or incest-related pregnancies: "The idea that trauma is a form of birth control continues to be promulgated by anti-abortion forces that seek to outlaw all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest."
Meanwhile, the San Fransisco Chronicle says Democrats are trying to link Mr Akin's comments to vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan's position on abortion: "This is the Democratic National Committee playbook: Delegitimize a respectable position - that abortion is the taking of innocent life - not by refuting it but by assessing guilt by association."


Four women have had new vaginas grown in the laboratory and implanted by doctors in the US.

A tissue sample and a biodegradable scaffold were used to grow vaginas in the right size and shape for each woman as well as being a tissue match.
They all reported normal levels of "desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction" and painless intercourse.
Experts said the study, published in the Lancet, was the latest example of the power of regenerative medicine.
In each woman the vagina did not form properly while they were still inside their mother's womb, a condition known as vaginal aplasia.
Current treatments can involve surgically creating a cavity, which is then lined with skin grafts or parts of the intestine.
Doctors at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centre in North Carolina used pioneering technology to build vaginas for the four women who were all in their teenage years at the time.
Scans of the pelvic region were used to design a tube-like 3D-scaffold for each patient.
A small tissue biopsy was taken from the poorly developed vulva and grown to create a large batch of cells in the laboratory.
By James GallagherHealth and science reporter, BBC News
This is an exciting glimpse into the future of medicine. Using living tissue as building material to transform the lives of patients has already happened with bladders, blood vessels and windpipes. Now you can add vaginas and noses to the list.
There are even attempts to make more complex organs. Weakly beating hearts, and kidneys that can produce urine, have been made in animal studies. But this is still a long way from being used in humans.
Expect 3D printing to revolutionise this field as the technology to precisely place both the cells and the scaffolding improves.
Will we ever grow replacement hands?
Muscle cells were attached to the outside of the scaffold and vaginal-lining cells to the inside.
The vaginas were carefully grown in a bioreactor until they were suitable to be surgically implanted into the patients.
One of the women with an implanted vagina, who wished to keep her name anonymous, said: "I believe in the beginning when you find out you feel different.
"I mean while you are living the process, you are seeing the possibilities you have and all the changes you'll go through.
"Truly I feel very fortunate because I have a normal life, completely normal."
All the women reported normal sexual function.
Vaginal aplasia can lead to other abnormalities in the reproductive organs, but in two of the women the vagina was  connected to the uterus.
There have been no pregnancies, but for those women it is theoretically possible.
Dr Anthony Atala, director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest, told the BBC News website: "Really for the first time we've created a whole organ that was never there to start with, it was a challenge."
He said a functioning vagina was a "very important thing" for these women's lives and witnessing the difference it made to them "was very rewarding to see".
This is the first time the results have been reported. However, the first implants took place eight years ago.
Meanwhile, researchers at the University of Basel in Switzerland have used similar techniques to reconstruct the noses of patients after skin cancer.
It could replace the need to take cartilage from the ribs or ears in order to rebuild the damage caused by cutting the cancer away.
Prof Martin Birchall, who has worked on lab-grown windpipes, commented: "These authors have not only successfully treated several patients with a difficult clinical problem, but addressed some of the most important questions facing translation of tissue engineering technologies.
The steps between first-in-human experiences such as those reported here and their use in routine clinical care remain many, including larger trials with long-term follow-up, the development of clinical grade processing, scale-out, and commercialisation."


Vice-President Joe Biden has said he is not interested in becoming secretary of state if Hillary Clinton is elected president.

"I'll do anything I can if Hillary's elected to help her, but I don't want to remain in the administration," he told a Minnesota TV station.
Politico reported Mr Biden was "at the top of the internal short list" should the Clinton team win the White House.
With 11 days to go, she leads Republican Donald Trump in the polls.
Mr Biden told KBJR that Mrs Clinton had not approached him about a potential role in any administration she may lead.
"I have no intention of staying involved. I have a lot of things to do, but I'll help her if I can in any way I can," he said.
Mr Biden, 73, was a senator for 36 years and chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
He has the foreign affairs pedigree for secretary of state, which is America's top diplomat, despite a reputation for being gaffe-prone.
Mr Biden pondered a run at the presidency himself last year but said the recent death of his son Beau meant he would not have been able to focus fully on a campaign.
The BBC's Anthony Zucker in Washington says that it would be unusual for a vice-president to hop down a rung in the ladder to secretary of state, and Mr Biden may follow through on his promise to fade from the stage, perhaps to write a book.
Recently he has been very critical of Mr Trump for being too close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He also said he wished he was still at high school so he could take the billionaire "behind the gym" to fight him.
The vice-president has a close relationship with the president despite raising eyebrows early on by referring to the then-Senator Obama as "the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean".
In the summer, he went to Latvia and assured the Baltic states that the US would defend Nato countries against possible Russian aggression.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is "more than a player" after scoring on his Premier League debut, says Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.

The Swede, 34, scored from 25 yards as United won 3-1 at Bournemouth in their first league game under Mourinho.
"I think he can be phenomenal for the team and the Premier League," Mourinho told BBC Sport.
"He's the profile of a player the Premier League has to be pleased to have."
Ibrahimovic joined Manchester United to much fanfare this summer after leaving Paris St-Germain, where he broke the club's all-time scoring record with 156 goals in his four years.
Following his strike at Bournemouth, he has scored on his debuts in the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 and the Champions League. He has also scored on his competitive debut for Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Paris St-Germain and now United.

Mourinho, who also managed the striker at Inter, thinks he should have won the Ballon d'Or for world player of the year during his career. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have won the last eight between them.
"The Golden Ball was there but it was always going to two guys with a better political entourage," said Mourinho. "It's incredible how this man never won the Golden Ball. But at this moment in his career, he wants to win the Premier League, not the Golden Ball."
The Portuguese manager also praised the veteran's influence on the club's youngsters.
"His table for meals is surrounded by kids - Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford. They are the guys with him at the table. He knows what he can be for them. Forget that he is 34, the body and the mentality is not of 34. He is at the top of his qualities."
Ibrahimovic was unusually modest in his post-match interview, telling Sky Sports: "I try to do my job and help my team. The first objective is to win, it's also good if I score - but it's the same importance whoever scores."
Mourinho was asked what will happen now that £89m world record signing Paul Pogba is available following suspension, and whether Juan Mata or Wayne Rooney - the other two goalscorers at Bournemouth - will lose their place.
"Pogba is very good, he's a phenomenal player," said Mourinho. "Our idea is that he will be a very important player for us.
"But the reality is the month of August is a month for the players to feel frustration because you play one match per week. I have to select people and the ones not playing, they are frustrated.
"But in September, we have the League Cup, Europa League, Premier League and players are with their national teams. Then starts the real marathon and there is space for everybody. That's why we have such a good squad."

"In the wake of Iraq and Afghanistan, Britain is pulling back from international intervention, just as America pulled back after the Vietnam War."

That was the judgement this week on Britain's shifting foreign policy from a real insider, Sir John Sawers.
He was Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, for five years until last November.
For the whole of the preceding decade, he was also extremely close to the centre of power, as Tony Blair's foreign policy adviser, Britain's Ambassador in Egypt, and then at the United Nations.
So Sir John's speech this week was particularly timely and interesting, coinciding with one of those moments when the harsh light of brutal events suddenly focuses attention on how much has changed in the world.
This was his view of Libya in 2011: "When crisis erupted in Libya, we didn't feel it right to sit by as Gaddafi crushed decent Libyans demanding an end to dictatorship.
"But we didn't want to get embroiled in Libya's problems by sending in ground forces. After Gaddafi was ousted, no-one held the ring to help manage a transition to something better, as the US, Britain and other allies had done in Baghdad and Kabul.
"Libya had no institutions. Who or what would take over? The answer? Those with the weapons. Result? Growing chaos, exploited by fanatics."
In other words, although the former spy chief didn't put it this way, Britain did some demolition in Libya.
It gave regime-change a shove, but only from the air and didn't hang around to rebuild the country. It really needed rebuilding, not just physically, but politically.
Colonel Gaddafi had completely stripped it of any genuine bodies of representative government during his four decades of horribly successful family dictatorship.
It's a far cry from Iraq and Afghanistan, which in their different ways, exacted high prices in blood and treasure.
But is the outcome in Libya likely to be any better? Does the shift leave Britain's foreign policy looking increasingly rudderless in a sea of international fear and uncertainty?
Most foreign policy analysts seem to agree that the major Western powers, Britain included, are now caught in a sort of policy no-man's land between intervention and non-intervention.
Politicians are trying to satisfy citizens who continue to expect security and protection, but who also seem increasingly unwilling to tolerate the sort of defence spending that protection might require, and, more importantly, the scale of sacrifice in soldiers' lives which ground combat inevitably brings.
What Libya got was neither full intervention nor complete non-intervention, but a sort of limited intervention.
That limited intervention, sanctioned by the UN, led by David Cameron for Britain and President Nicolas Sarkozy for France, was based on the new-ish doctrine of the "Responsibility to Protect".
The justification in this case was to prevent the late Colonel Gaddafi massacring civilians in Benghazi, headquarters of the revolution gathering pace to destroy him.
One argument, which often runs through Foreign Office and Downing Street thinking, is that Britain can only exercise its "Responsibility to Protect" in some cases, where it seems do-able - and cannot in others, like Syria, where Assad's forces have usually been considered too dangerous a foe.
But that, so the argument goes, shouldn't prevent all intervention anywhere. Do good where you can.
An incidental advantage of the Libya strategy, at least as seen from Washington, was that it largely excused the United States from major involvement. It instead showcased the European Union's two dominant military powers taking the lead for a change.
The huge difficulty with limited intervention, of course, is the unpredictability of outcomes.
That fickle and unfathomable "law of unintended consequences" delivered catastrophic results in Libya.
Western policy relied on maintaining the unity of anti-Gaddafi forces once they had dealt with their shared enemy.
Light-touch Western efforts to help Libyans put aside their tribal and factional differences forever and embrace power-sharing through representative government based on national unity, have comprehensively collapsed.
As evidence of that, you need look no further than today's Benghazi - Libya's second city, home to the revolution.
Western airpower helped protect it from destruction by Gaddafi.
Instead, in recent months the revolutionaries have reduced large swathes of the city to ruins by fighting each other. The wider collapse of the state has now allowed in elements of so-called Islamic State.
They have recruited ideological allies and gained a significant foothold from which to open a new front beyond Syria and Iraq.
Let's leave the last words to Sir John Sawers, from his speech at the beginning of this week.
"Yes, intervening has huge risks and costs. Not intervening also has huge risks and costs," he said.
"Afghanistan and Iraq?  Or Syria and Libya?  Which outcome is worse? Perhaps it's too early to say. We need to have that debate."


Loud bangs heard in parts of Yorkshire were sonic booms from Typhoon jets scrambled to identify "an unresponsive civilian aircraft", the RAF has said.

The aircraft were launched from RAF Coningsby, in Lincolnshire, on Monday and helped guide an Air France plane to a safe landing in Newcastle.
People reported their houses shaking at about 21:50 BST after hearing what sounded like two loud explosions.
These were later confirmed to have been sonic booms.
An RAF spokesman said: "Quick reaction alert Typhoon aircraft were launched today from RAF Coningsby to identify an unresponsive civilian aircraft.
"Communications were re-established and the aircraft has been safely landed."
Reports suggested the jets had escorted the plane after it went off course.
Air France confirmed that the unresponsive civilian aircraft was one of its planes.
The airline tweeted from its official UK Twitter account: "Air France confirms that due to a radio communication problem AF 1558 had to be accompanied by two British fighter aircrafts according to the procedure.
"The aircraft landed in Newcastle at 22:20 (LT). Safety of clients & crew is an absolute priority."
North Yorkshire Police had tweeted to reassure people there was no danger, later writing: "Confirmation from RAF that loud bangs heard across the county were sonic booms from RAF Typhoon jets. No cause for concern."
One woman wrote: "house shook & whole street was out, car & house alarms gone off. Apparently was a sonic boom".


Voters are set to go to the polls for local and mayoral elections in England, Wales and Scotland.

A total of 4,851 council seats are up for grabs in 88 councils - all of those in Scotland and Wales, plus 34 in England, including 27 counties.
Six new "metro mayors" will be elected, covering areas including Greater Manchester, the West Midlands and the West of England.
Polling stations will open at 07:00 and close at 22:00 BST.
Some English and Welsh councils will begin counting ballots as soon as polls close - while others will start counting on Friday morning, with results continuing all day Friday.
Scotland's 32 councils will start their counts on Friday morning, with first results expected from midday. Most mayoral results will be declared on Friday.
A cloudy start is expected across much of the UK with light rain anticipated in parts of Wales, London and the south east - while sunny spells are expected in north west England and Scotland.
In England, (34 councils, 2,370 seats) this is a year of county council elections, but there will also be polls in six unitary authorities where county councils and district councils have merged.
In Scotland polls will be held in all councils (1,227 seats) and all 22 councils in Wales (1,254 seats).
For the first time voters in Greater Manchester, the Liverpool City region, the West Midlands, Tees Valley, the West of England, and Cambridge and Peterborough will elect new "metro mayors", covering combined local authority areas.
Doncaster and North Tyneside are also voting for local authority mayors, who are elected leaders of their respective councils.


The number of kids picking up a book outside of class is on the up, according to the National Literacy Trust.

20 May 2015 Last updated at 17:13 BST
The reading charity surveyed 32,000 children in the UK and found that how much they enjoyed reading and how often they did it were at their highest levels for nine years.
The kids surveyed were also asked about their favourite fiction book, and Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid came out on top.
Do you enjoy reading? What's your favourite type of book and why? And do you have one that you love above all other books?


Hundreds of mesh implant operations have been performed in Scotland despite ministers recommending their suspension.

Figures obtained by the BBC show that 404 women have received mesh and tape implants since the health secretary called for the suspension in June 2014.
The Scottish government said the position had been made clear.
Those boards still using mesh implants said they discussed all the potential risks with patients before surgery.
The procedure is used to ease incontinence and pelvic prolapse.
Over the past 20 years, more than 20,000 women in Scotland have had mesh or tape implants. But some have suffered painful and debilitating complications.
In 2014 a number of campaigners gave evidence to the Holyrood Petitions Committee. Several of them were in wheelchairs - unable to walk because of surgical complications.
As a result, the then Health Secretary Alex Neil wrote to health boards requesting a suspension in the use of mesh implants by the NHS in Scotland pending an investigation into their safety.
He told MSPs he was "deeply troubled" by the issue.
Since then, Greater Glasgow and Clyde has used the implants more than any other health board - with 178 mesh and mesh tape implants. NHS Lothian have performed 146 mesh and tape implants.
A number of health boards - including Grampian, Ayrshire and Arran, and Tayside - have stopped using mesh implants altogether.
The figures obtained by the BBC show some health boards continued their use in the past 12 months - even after Health Secretary Shona Robison re-issued calls for their use to be suspended and apologised to women left with complications.
NHS Borders, Fife, Dumfries and Forth Valley have used a very small number of mesh implants since the "moratorium".
Gillian Watt, from Renfrew, had a mesh implant in 2011.
"They were giving me a hysterectomy", she said. "They said they'd just lift my bladder whilst I was in. I thought it would fix me but it has completely destroyed my life. I lost my job, my career. Everything."
Gillian is now 47 years old. She lives in almost constant pain and has to use crutches or a wheelchair if she needs to walk any distance.
"I can't even go round the supermarket," she said.
She has since had three operations to try to remove the mesh but has been told it would be impossible to fully reverse the procedure as it was now stuck to her organs.
The worst thing, she said, was not being able to fully look after her one-year-old granddaughter.
"When I went there was nothing about side effects," she added. "Nothing at all. They said they would just fix me.
"I just can't believe the health boards are still using mesh. How can they do that when two health secretaries told them to stop? I went to an appointment with my friend's 19-year-old daughter who has bladder problems and they started talking about using it. She's just 19."
The review, commissioned in 2014, is not yet complete, but research looking at the use of mesh and tape over the past 20 years - commissioned by NHS Scotland's Information Services Division (ISD) - is due to be published this week.
Hundreds of women are suing health boards and manufacturers over the use of the implants.
Lindsay Bruce, of Thomsons solicitors, has more than 140 clients taking cases.
She said: "This is a global health scandal and one of the largest-scale health scandals we have ever seen.
"I don't know why health boards are continuing to use mesh but we know that since the moratorium a number of women have been offered mesh implants or have had mesh implants.
"A number have since suffered complications.
"We know because a number of these women are now involved in litigation. My concern is that the numbers are just going to keep rising because the health boards keep using mesh."
A Scottish government spokesman said: "We've made clear that health boards should consider suspending the use of the synthetic mesh products in surgery for pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence.
"However, if women are experiencing very distressing symptoms and want to proceed then the Scottish government agreed that, in these circumstances, the service should still be offered.
"This is clearly a matter between the clinician and the patient and the procedure is only undertaken with the informed consent of the patient, following a full explanation and discussion of the potential risks. Since 2013/14, we've seen a significant decline in such procedures taking place across Scotland."
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has the final say on the use of mesh implants on a UK-wide basis.
In 2014, it said its research showed that, while a small number of women had experienced distressing effects, the benefits of these tapes and meshes outweighed the risks and could help in dealing with upsetting conditions such as urinary stress incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
Dr David Farqhuarson, medical director of NHS Lothian, said: "In all cases we discuss the treatment options available to our patients, ensuring that they are aware of the risks involved in any of our surgical procedures.
"Where a patient wishes to go ahead with a mesh implant a thorough consultation process follows.
"This involves the patient spending additional time in clinic to discuss their care and to ensure that they are prepared, educated and informed about the different options available to them before proceeding."
A spokeswoman from Greater Glasgow and Clyde said it continued to offer mesh implants to "certain patients who meet the clinical criteria for this procedure".
She added: "At their initial outpatient appointment all patients who are assessed and require mesh procedures have the opportunity to fully discuss the risks and benefits of treatment options with their consultant before they are listed for surgery.
"In addition, they are given the patient information booklet provided by the Scottish government."


Only trained doctors, nurses and dentists should provide non-surgical cosmetic treatments such as Botox, say surgeons.

Currently people such as beauticians with no medical training can administer anti-wrinkle Botox injections, even though it is a potent neurotoxin.
The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) wants to put an end to "Botox parties" and rogue traders.
The government has been assessing whether tougher laws are needed.
NHS medical director, Sir Bruce Keogh, has been conducting a review into the cosmetic industry and will report back to government in March.
The RCS in England wants a clampdown, and has set out a list of standards for the industry.
RCS president Prof Norman Williams said: "While the colleges and professional organisations involved in cosmetic practice are neither regulators nor legislators, the profession has a responsibility to provide standards to which we would expect our members to work.
"We have serious concerns that not all those who offer cosmetic procedures are adequately qualified, or that patients are getting accurate information prior to treatment. We hope these standards will feed into the ongoing review of the industry led by the NHS medical director, Sir Bruce Keogh, and improve quality of care for patients going forward."
The RCS makes several recommendations, including a proviso that anyone planning to have a cosmetic procedure should have a thorough psychological assessment beforehand.
Only those who have medically recognised qualifications and training and should carry out cosmetic procedures, such as breast surgery, liposuction and Botox treatment, and in a registered clinic with resuscitation equipment on hand in the event of an emergency, it recommends.
Practitioners have a duty to manage a patient's expectations of how they will feel after treatment, the RCS says.
They should not imply that patients will feel "better" or "look nicer", for example, and should instead use unambiguous language like "bigger" or "smaller" to describe what that patient is trying to change, it says.
The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), which represents about a third of plastic surgeons in Britain, would also welcome stricter controls.
BAAPS says all of its accredited surgeons are fully trained, vetted and qualified to carry out cosmetic procedures. But it cannot vouch for the rest working in the private sector.
Because of the lack of regulation, it is difficult to gauge the scale of the issue. Most cosmetic procedures are carried out privately, rather than on the NHS.
Estimates suggest that in 2011, there were 669,711 surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures carried out in the UK. BAAPS own figures show 43,172 surgical procedures were carried out by BAAPS members in 2011.
According to the Independent Healthcare Advisory Service (IHAS), about 200,000 anti-wrinkle injections, which includes Botox and dermal fillers, are carried out in the UK each year.
The IHAS runs a voluntary register of injectable-cosmetic providers aimed to help consumers find a skilled and trusted clinician.
A recent poll by ComRes of 1,762 people found many considered the cost of surgery more important than the qualifications of the people doing it or how they would be looked after.
Two-thirds of those questioned considered cost as a factor when deciding whether or not to have cosmetic surgery. Half said they would take the qualifications of their doctor into consideration and less than half would consider the quality of their aftercare when reaching a decision.
A Department of Health representative said: "The report from the Royal College of Surgery is timely as NHS medical director, Sir Bruce Keogh, is currently carrying out a review into regulation of cosmetic interventions, including cosmetic surgery.
"The review will be published in March. Its recommendations will be evidence-based, with the safety of the patient at the forefront."


The family of a soldier whose World War Two medals were stolen from his home days after his death has appealed for help to track down the items.

Sid Rollason, who died aged 100 on 12 August, kept his service medals on display in the sitting room of his Bilston home.
He served in Africa, Greece and Italy during the conflict.
West Midlands Police confirmed it is investigating the theft.
The break-in is believed to have taken place between 09:00 on 18 August and 07:30 BST on 21 August.
More on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country
Aside from his wartime service Mr Rollason lived his whole life in Bilston, and was married to wife Dolly for 77 years until her death last year.
The couple had three children, five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
His family has now launched an appeal on social media to find his medals.
Rory Rollason, from Coseley, said it was desperate to find his great-grandfather's decorations.
"They completely trashed the house and when we were down there we found they'd taken the World War Two medals," the 16-year-old said.
"It's shameful that they've been stolen like that."
Paul Rollason said his grandfather's wartime service was an important part of the family's history.
"[Dolly] always told a story of going to the cinemas and seeing him on the Pathe News - the only way she knew he was still alive," he said.
"We cannot believe that someone would break in. Obviously it must be someone who was aware of the situation."


The third Avengers film will feature superheroes from Guardians of the Galaxy, actor Vin Diesel has revealed.

The Hollywood star, who voices talking tree Groot in Guardians, let the news slip during a Facebook Live video on Friday.
Vin Diesel called the planned Avengers mash-up "incredibly exciting".
Guardians also starred Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper. Avengers: Infinity War is expected to include Marvel characters from across 18 films.
The movie will be released in May 2018.
A spokeswoman for Disney did not immediately respond to Diesel's comments.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is due in cinemas next May, reuniting the original ensemble cast along with Michael Rooker, Glenn Close and Karen Gillan.
Pom Klementieff joins the cast as alien hero Mantis, along with Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone.
When the film wrapped in June, Pratt said: "This is going to be the greatest spectacle film of all time."
The first film is one of Marvel's most successful movies yet, making more than $771m (Â£540m) at the worldwide box office.

A top Brussels official in charge of reducing the burden of EU regulations says he is determined to keep the EU focused on priority areas.

"What we need is sensible, realistic rules that do their job - no more, no less", said EU Commission First Vice-President Frans Timmermans.
He is known as Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker's "right-hand man".
Critics accuse the Commission of over-legislating, increasing business costs across the 28-nation bloc.
"Sometimes there's a tendency in Brussels to think 'I legislate therefore I am'. I want to change that, and focus on what Europe needs to do, not what would be nice to do", Mr Timmermans said.
He was speaking in London - and the UK government is among the most vociferous critics of EU bureaucracy.
Mr Timmermans, previously the Dutch Foreign Minister, said he was listening to the concerns of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) about EU regulations.
"I want a Europe that works for the little guy ... the big boys and girls can look after themselves very nicely. I want SMEs to feel the difference - to say, hey this actually works."
The Commission drafts EU laws, which then require approval by the EU governments (the Council) and European Parliament to take effect. The Commission also enforces the EU treaties, acting against infringements.
In December Mr Juncker presented a work programme for 2015 consisting of 23 new initiatives - about one-fifth the number put forward in some years by previous Commission heads.
The Commission withdrew 80 existing proposals, signalling a new drive to curb red tape.
The priorities for this year include:
Mr Juncker has warned that EU institutions are in a "last chance saloon" to restore voters' trust in the EU, amid widespread Euro-scepticism.


Germany has been sending an increasing number of migrants back to Austria every day since the beginning of the month, Austrian police say.

Many had no valid documents, whilst others did not want to apply for asylum in Germany but in other countries, notably in Scandinavia, police said.
New Year's Eve attacks on women in Cologne, blamed on migrants, have put pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Most of those sent back to Austria are not Syrians, who usually get asylum.
Instead, they are migrants mostly from Afghanistan as well as Morocco and Algeria, Austrian police said.
"The daily number of migrants being turned back has risen from 60 in December to 200 since the start of the year," David Furtner, police spokesman  in Upper Austria state, told AFP news agency.
Last week, Sweden, a favoured destination for many of the migrants, sought to stem the flow by imposing controls on travellers from Denmark.
Earlier, an official report said the men suspected of attacking women in central Cologne on New Year's Eve were "almost exclusively" from a migration background, mainly North African and Arab.
Nineteen individuals are currently under investigation by the state police in connection with the attacks, NRW's interior ministry says in a report (in German), none of them German nationals.
Those 19 suspects include 14 men from Morocco and Algeria. Ten of the suspects are asylum seekers, nine of whom arrived in Germany after September 2015.
The other nine are possibly in Germany illegally, the interior ministry says.
Cologne police also made "serious mistakes" in not calling in reinforcements and the way they informed the public.
The scale of the assaults on women in Cologne and other German cities has shocked Germany.
More than 500 criminal complaints were filed, 40% alleging sexual assault.
Apparent retaliatory attacks in Cologne on Sunday were condemned by the government as inexcusable.
Around 1.1 million asylum seekers arrived in Germany in 2015.


A convoy of UK military vehicles has been attacked in the Afghan capital Kabul, the UK's Ministry of Defence has said.

The attack, which took place in a residential area near a market on Sunday morning, injured seven people.
There were no UK casualties, the MoD said, adding the convoy had been struck by an improvised explosive device.
The Taliban claimed the attack in retaliation for air strikes in Kunduz which killed civilians and doctors.
However, the group did not mention Medecins Sans Frontieres, whose hospital was hit by US airstrikes in the city eight days ago - 22 people were killed in that incident and dozens injured.
The US has since said it will pay compensation to the victims' families and to survivors.
There have been conflicting reports about the cause of Sunday's explosion. The MoD said it was an IED, while officials in Kabul said it was a suicide bombing.
The MoD said the convoy had been on a "routine road move" as part of the Nato Resolute Support mission in Kabul when it was struck.
The BBC's Shaimaa Khalil, in Kabul, says a military vehicle was immobilised in the attack at about 09:00 local time. Among the injured was a woman and a child.
Our correspondent said it was the first time British troops had been targeted in Kabul since UK combat forces withdrew from Afghanistan last year.
The UK troops in Kabul are among 470 still in Afghanistan.
British combat troops pulled out of the country a year ago after a conflict that lasted 13 years and in which 454 UK troops lost their lives.
Nato's Resolute Support mission, which was launched after its combat mission ended, consists of more than 13,000 troops from 42 countries. It focuses on training and supporting Afghan security forces and institutions.
The attack is the latest in a series recently carried out by the Taliban.
It follows the Taliban's assault on the city of Kunduz in September. Its fall was a major embarrassment to the government, which now says it has regained control.
Fighting is also reported to have intensified in the provinces of Badakhshan, Takhar and Baghlan as the Taliban pursue a bolder strategy to strengthen its hold across the north of the country.
Earlier in August, a Taliban suicide bomber attacked a checkpoint near the entrance to the international airport in Kabul, killing five people.
Before that, there were three deadly attacks in the city - on a police academy, a Nato base and an Afghan army base that killed at least 50 people.


A "replacement" train service is being offered by a narrow gauge railway between two remote villages in southern Scotland during a road closure.

The B797 between Leadhills in South Lanarkshire and Wanlockhead in Dumfries and Galloway is shut for resurfacing.
The rail service is being run to help people from Wanlockhead to get to the doctor's surgery in Leadhills.
It is also being offered as a "commuter service" for some workers at the Museum of Lead Mining in Wanlockhead.
"This service will be unique in that it is usually the other way round, with bus replacements for trains," said David Winpenny of the Leadhills and Wanlockhead Railway.
The trains are usually run at weekends during the summer months on what bills itself as "Britain's highest narrow gauge adhesion railway" reaching 1,498ft (456m) above sea level.
They link Leadhills to a terminus at Glengonnar which is less than a mile from Wanlockhead.
The road is shut for resurfacing for up to a fortnight with a diversion in place via the A76, B740, B7078 and A702.


Nottinghamshire collapsed to 135 all out on the final day at Trent Bridge to hand Somerset a 10-wicket win.

Notts moved steadily to 74-2, but then lost their last seven wickets for 61 either side of lunch with Brett Hutton unable to bat due to a hand injury.
Somerset all-rounders Jim Allenby and Lewis Gregory took three wickets each.
Set exactly 100 for victory, the visitors raced to 100-0 in 16.5 overs with Marcus Trescothick unbeaten on 37 and Johann Myburgh 58 not out.
Somerset, who picked up 23 points from the match, have now put themselves in the hunt for their first ever County Championship title, just 22 points behind leaders Middlesex with six games left.
However, it was a victory which looked unlikely at the start of another stifling day in Nottingham, with the hosts on 58-2 and leading by 22.
Their downfall began when Australian medium-pacer Allenby (3-23) trapped Brendan Taylor lbw and then had Riki Wessels caught in the slips for nought in his next over.
Wickets continued to tumble through a combination of loose strokeplay and accurate bowling, including Notts skipper Chris Read who knocked off the bails with his bat after pulling Gregory (3-27) for six.
Samit Patel tried valiantly to set Somerset some sort of target with a few attacking shots, but was last man out to Gregory for 35.
The Somerset openers inflicted further punishment with a flurry of boundaries in the chase, including three sixes from Myburgh in one Imran Tahir over, to wrap up the win before tea.


An estimated 40,000 people took to the streets of Newcastle for what was billed as the North East's largest new year street celebration.

The city's New Year's Eve Winter Carnival featured street performers, bands and spectacular puppets.
The parade made its way through the city centre, before a firework display outside Newcastle Civic Centre.
Armed police were on duty, which the Northumbria force said reflected higher security concerns.
The event was organised by the city council, NewcastleGateshead Initiative and arts group Walk the Plank.
Carol Bell, culture and major events director at NewcastleGateshead Initiative, said: "Our New Year's Eve celebrations are some of the biggest in the country and it wouldn't be possible without all the amazing community groups and local performers that take part in the carnival parade every year."
Kim McGuinness, cabinet member for culture and communities at Newcastle City Council, added: "There are few better ways to welcome the New Year than to celebrate in the heart of the city."
There were no reported incidents or arrests.


Plaid AMs have rejected the idea of going into a post-referendum coalition with Labour, the party's group whip has said.

Simon Thomas said it would be "political folly" to strike such a deal while Labour was "ripping itself apart", but he said a special party conference could decide differently.
Party leader Leanne Wood had previously said that she was not ruling it out.
Her comments sparked opposition from some Plaid politicians.
Speaking at the party's weekly press conference Mr Thomas, Plaid AM for Mid and West Wales, said: "Labour are in such a shocking state of affairs, and so poorly led, that I think it would be counterproductive in the Welsh context for Plaid to go into any kind of formal coalition with Labour.
"We maintain the informal relationships we set up at the time we appointed Carwyn [Jones as first minister]. Those committees that we talked about are meeting, they are negotiating, they are talking."
"We're not interested in forming a coalition," he said.
Mr Thomas said Ms Wood "was right to say that it wasn't being ruled out because the party hadn't discussed it at that stage".
"The group has discussed it, the group is not interested in that", he said.
Mr Thomas said the "party will discuss it potentially when we have our special conference" on 16 July.
"If the party decides different to the group then things could change again," he said.
He added: "The reality of the Labour party ripping itself apart, leaderless at a national UK level, so divorced from the realities of people's lives today - to support that I think would be political folly for us."
Ms Wood had told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme after the referendum: "What happened on Thursday night has changed everything really, so I would not be prepared to close anything down."
But in response, South Wales Central AM Neil McEvoy, who was newly elected in May, said on Twitter: "I'm absolutely opposed to propping up a toxic Labour Party."
Plaid Cymru MP Jonathan Edwards was also critical of any support for Labour while Jeremy Corbyn was facing challenges to his leadership.
He tweeted: "Labour today is defined by chaos, dissent and disunity. Now is the time for @Plaid_Cymru to challenge not endorse them."


Norway's consumer watchdog has filed a formal complaint about the privacy policies of four fitness wristband companies.

Norway's Consumer Council (NCC) said Fitbit, Jawbone, Garmin and Mio had broken local laws governing the handling of consumer data.
It said all four gathered too much data, did not say who saw it and failed to say how long it would be kept.
The complaint has been lodged with Norway's data protection authority.
The wristbands may help people monitor fitness activities, but anyone who used them gave up data on "asymmetrical and obscure terms", said Finn Myrstad, director of digital services at the NCC, in a statement.
"We fear that this information can be exploited for direct marketing and price-discrimination purposes, and that basic privacy principles are being neglected," he said.
The complaint came out of a research project carried out by the council, into the terms and conditions used by the four wristband makers.
This revealed that users of the wristbands had little access to the information gathered about them, who saw it and how it was used.
"It is important that we don't give up basic rights in order to use the products and services of the future," said Mr Myrstad.
The BBC has asked the four companies named in the complaint for comment.
In a statement, Jawbone said it was reviewing the NCC report.
"We want to reassure our users and let them know that we only share their data if they ask us to - for example to integrate with a third party app," it said.
A spokesman said Jawbone was a "custodian" of users' data and sought permission to share it.
Users could also download their data and take it elsewhere, he said.
And requests to delete data would be honoured.


The owners of one of three Harris Tweed mills in Lewis plan to sell the business rather than going into voluntary administration.

The Carloway Mill employs 27 people and provides yarn to 30 weavers.
The mill's owners said the cost of its raw material had increased by 35% and weavers' wages had risen but the price of tweed had fallen by 10%.
Last week, they said they could go into voluntary administration but have now proposed selling the mill.


Torquay United moved three points clear of the National League relegation zone with victory at home to Chester.

Nathan Blissett headed in Dan Butler's corner to give the hosts an early lead and Iffy Allen sealed the points on the counter attack in the final minute.
Torquay, who were 12 points adrift of safety in February, are up to 18th thanks to back-to-back wins.
Chester lie one point above them in 17th and have won just twice in 16 league games.


Three years of Greater Manchester Marathon times have been declared invalid after the course was found to be 380m too short.

The mistake, caused by a measuring error, affects about 24,000 runners who competed in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
UK Athletics will not now recognise times from those races, but the error was corrected in time for this year's marathon, which was held on 10 April.
A true marathon distance is 26 miles and 385 yards.
Marathon courses are measured out using a bicycle fitted with a counter to calculate distance by the turning of the wheels.
The Association of UK Course Measurers (AUKCM) said an accredited measurer had ridden the course in 2013 but indicated there had been an error in the calibration of the bicycle wheel.
The organisation said it regretted the mistake and the effect it has on runners' times.
"Significant errors in measurement are rare - our procedures are designed to find them at the reporting or checking stages," it added.
Xtra Mile Events, organisers of the marathon, said the blame lay with AUKCM.
They added: "We all understand the anguish and huge disappointment this creates and want to assure our runners that we share the upset and emotion from the AUKCM news regarding the race distance."


Kenya's government has agreed a "roadmap" that increases the likelihood of the country's athletes competing at the Olympic Games in Rio this summer.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) declared Kenya "non-compliant" on 12 May after it missed two deadlines to show it is tackling cheating.
If Kenya remains in violation of Wada, the International Olympic Committee could ban its athletes from the Games.
But Kenya's government said it "should have representation" at Rio 2016.
Were the country to be absent from the Games, it would mean some of the world's top athletes missing out on potential medal chances.
They include David Rudisha, who would be denied the chance to defend the 800m title he won at the London 2012 Games.
The country topped the medal table at the 2015 World Athletics Championships in Beijing with seven gold medals.
Media playback is not supported on this device
After discussions at Wada's headquarters in Montreal, the organisation's director-general David Howman said he was confident Kenya could make the necessary changes to become compliant "very quickly".
"If the laws are amended as agreed today, I have no doubt Wada's compliance review committee would recommend the foundation board revokes Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya's non-compliance status," he added.
Kenya introduced new criminal laws as part of an anti-doping bill in April, creating a national testing authority and making doping an offence punishable by imprisonment.
That was widely expected to satisfy Wada, which had demanded changes after 40 Kenyan athletes failed drugs tests in a period since 2011.
David Were, chair of the Kenya parliament sports and welfare committee, told the BBC at the time he was "shocked" when Wada - which placed Kenya on a "watch-list" in February - instead downgraded it to "non-compliant".
A statement from the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya said Wada "commended Kenya for acting in good faith and demonstrating strong commitment by developing its anti-doping law; and, acknowledged that more than 80% of the law was in fact compliant with the code".


The High Court has told the NHS in England it can fund a drug that can prevent HIV - after health bosses argued it was not their responsibility.

NHS England previously said councils should provide the pre-exposure prophylaxis (Prep) drug as they are in charge of preventative health.
This stance was successfully challenged by the National Aids Trust (NAT).
But the High Court ruling does not make funding of Prep automatic and the NHS is set to appeal.
The ruling by Mr Justice Green said health bosses had "erred" in arguing it was not their responsibility.
NHS England has already announced it will appeal against the ruling - and even if that goes against health bosses it is not a given that Prep will be considered effective enough to warrant NHS funding.
If the Court of Appeal uphold the ruling NHS bosses would then assess Prep's cost-effectiveness alongside the merits of other treatments the NHS is being asked to provide.
HIV drug row: A very modern dilemma for the NHS
Using Prep has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection by 86%.
The once-a-day pill, which costs Â£400 a month per person, works by disabling the virus to stop it multiplying.
It is currently used in the US, Canada, Australia and France to help protect the most at-risk gay men.
Harry Dodd, 25, is one of about 500 homosexual men in England who are taking Prep as part of a trial called Proud.
He says: "I've seen the panic on the face of previous boyfriends when they are awaiting their [HIV test] results - it's a huge fear and it affects everything you do.
"To be able to have sex without having that fear hanging over you all the time is huge."
Harry says taking Prep has still not become socially acceptable.
"Too many people seem to think it will encourage a hedonistic lifestyle, but for me this is about saving lives," he says.
"People reacted with cynicism when the contraceptive pill for women was first introduced.
"For me, taking Prep has helped me to trust again, have relationships and build bridges and that shouldn't be taken away."

NHS England had argued that because Prep was preventative it was not its responsibility.
In May, it said it had legal advice that said it did not have the "legal power to commission Prep" and that under 2013 regulations "local authorities are the responsible commissioner for HIV prevention services".
NHS England has also warned that if it prioritised Prep, there was a risk of a legal challenge from people wanting similar access to other preventative treatments.
But the National Aids Trust (NAT) said local authorities did not have sole responsibility for HIV prevention in England.
The NHS in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have not yet made a decision on Prep.
Deborah Gold, chief executive of NAT, said: "This is fantastic news. It is vindication for the many people who were let down when NHS England absolved itself of responsibility for Prep."
She urged NHS to act immediately and start funding Prep.
"Prep works. It saves money and it will make an enormous difference to the lives of men and women across the country who are at risk of acquiring HIV.  The delay to commissioning Prep is both unethical and expensive."
But a spokesman for NHS England said an appeal would be launched first.
"NHS England has considered the judgement carefully and has taken legal advice. Queen's Counsel has advised that the court's ruling interprets the legislation governing NHS England's role and functions in a way that is inconsistent with Parliament's intention."
Meanwhile Dr Jonathan Fielden of NHS England, told the BBC:  "Prep, subject to the appeal, will seen and considered alongside 13 other treatments including treatments for children with cystic fibrosis, for prosthetic limbs and certain types of auditory implants for deafness."
Councillor Izzi Seccombe, of the Local Government Association, which represents councils, said she was "pleased" with the ruling.
"We firmly rejected the argument by the NHS that it should fall to councils."


A prominent Angolan rapper has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison for planning a rebellion against President Jose Eduardo dos Santos.

Luaty Beirao was sentenced by a court in the capital, Luanda, along with 16 other activists who were given jail terms of between two and eight years.
Amnesty International said they had been sentenced by a "kangaroo court".
The 17 were arrested in June after discussing a book about non-violent resistance at their book club.
Mr Dos Santos has ruled oil-rich Angola since 1979.
Beirao, also known by his stage name Ikonoklasta, has been an outspoken critic of the government, calling for a fairer distribution of the southern African state's oil wealth.
He embarked on a five-week hunger strike in September in protest at his detention.
The judge convicted him of "rebellion against the president of the republic, criminal association and falsifying documents", AFP news agency reports.
The trial had prompted global outrage, with rights groups saying it showed that Mr Dos Santos' government was becoming increasingly repressive in its attempts to remain in power.
Human Rights Watch said the verdict was "a ridiculous scandal", while Amnesty International described the defendants on Twitter as "prisoners of conscience" who had been subjected to a "kangaroo court trial [which] violated international standards".
Prosecutors defended the arrests, arguing that the 17  were planning an uprising among students and workers "with incalculable consequences".
The  jailed activists, who belonged to a youth movement, had previously held demonstrations demanding the resignation of Mr dos Santos, who has been in power for 36 years.
Their book club had discussed the 1993 book by Gene Sharp called From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Conceptual Framework for Liberation.
Angola is Africa's second-largest oil producer, and has witnessed an economic boom since the end of a civil war in 2002.
However, critics of the elected government say the wealth has only benefited a small elite.
Who is Gene Sharp?
Gene Sharp is a US academic who researches non-violent revolution.
He is credited with the strategy which led to the toppling of Egypt's long-time leader Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
His most translated and distributed work, From Dictatorship to Democracy, was written for the Burmese democratic movement in 1993, after the imprisonment of Aung San Suu Kyi.

MEPs have voted by a large majority in support of the new European Commission led by Jean-Claude Juncker.

The vote went 423 for, 209 against and there were 67 abstentions. It means the Commission can take office next month.
The commissioners underwent gruelling cross-examination at individual hearings in the European Parliament.
Mr Juncker reshuffled some appointments after objections from MEPs. The Commission drafts EU laws, oversees national budgets and enforces EU rules.
Nine UK Conservatives abstained from the vote, but six voted for and three were against.
Hardline Eurosceptics, including the UK Independence Party, opposed the Commission, as did the Greens and leftists. But the main party blocs voted for the new team.
The 28-strong team has one official from each EU nation.
Speaking before the vote, Mr Juncker said it was "pathetic" that he had been unable to appoint more than nine women to the Commission, despite having urged national governments to put forward more women. MEPs applauded him for making that point.
He asked MEPs to lobby their national parties to raise awareness about gender equality.
For many years he was prime minister of Luxembourg and is a veteran of EU integration efforts.
"I'm a bit embarrassed about this because Luxembourg didn't appoint a woman," he said, adding in English: "in the short term I won't be able to change my sex".
Mr Juncker is from the main centre-right bloc, the European People's Party (EPP), which won the May European elections.
He has created the new post of first vice-president, appointing Frans Timmermans from the Netherlands, another EU veteran, with whom he has worked for many years.
One of Mr Timmermans's key tasks is to look at the question of subsidiarity - that is, issues that can best be addressed at national rather than pan-European level.
The UK and some other countries have urged the Commission to cut red tape and devolve more power to national governments.
Mr Timmermans will also be responsible for sustainable development - something that MEPs had demanded during the hearings.
Other vice-presidents will oversee some other key areas, such as the EU budget, jobs and growth, and energy.
The UK's Lord Hill will be commissioner for financial services, overseeing banking - a post welcomed by the UK government. However, he had a rough ride in the hearings, as MEPs recalled him for a second round of questioning.
Mr Juncker told MEPs that he would present a 300bn-euro (Â£237bn; $380bn) investment package to boost jobs and growth by Christmas.
He regretted that only two eurozone countries had retained triple-A credit ratings - Germany and Luxembourg.
"I'd like the EU to equip itself with a social triple-A rating - that's just as important as an economic and financial triple-A," he said.
He also vowed to break down "silos" in the Commission, to end "commissioners working in their corner behind closed doors, which is a rather provincial approach".
"The big loser of this new structure is me. I have delegated a lot of my presidential powers to the vice-presidents," he said.
Under pressure from MEPs Mr Juncker nominated a different candidate from Slovenia - Violeta Bulc - to the post of transport commissioner. Slovenia's ex-PM Alenka Bratusek was the only candidate to be rejected by MEPs.
He also named Slovakia's Maros Sefcovic as vice-president responsible for energy union, in another concession to MEPs.
Greens leader Rebecca Harms said her group voted against because the new Commission was not prioritising environmental action. The Greens also opposed two nominees - Spain's Miguel Arias Canete (energy) and Hungary's Tibor Navracsics (education and culture), she said.
Vytenis Andriukaitis (Lithuania) Health and food safety
Miguel Arias Canete (Spain) Climate action and energy
Dimitris Avramopoulos (Greece) Migration and home affairs, citizenship
Elzbieta Bienkowska (Poland) Internal market, industry, entrepreneurship and SMEs (small and medium-sized businesses), space projects

A non-native species of salmon has been found in rivers along the west coast of Ireland, causing concern among Irish fishing authorities.

Inland Fisheries Ireland said the pink salmon, which are of Pacific origin, were found in rivers in Counties Galway, Mayo and Donegal.
The fishing board said it was concerned about the impact the fish may have on Ireland's Atlantic species.
The pink salmon was also found earlier this month in Scotland.
Pink Salmon, also known as humpback salmon, originate from the west coasts of the United States, Canada and northern Asia.
The fish are a favourite prey of North America's grizzly bears.
A potentially invasive species to the UK, the salmon may be related to fish introduced to the Barents Sea in Russia in the 1950s.
The species can be identified by the following characteristics:
However, Dr Greg Forde, head of operations at Inland Fisheries Ireland, said "it seems unlikely that these fish made a migration due to their small size".
He said the appearance of the species was a "mystery".
"We are appealing to the public, and the angling community in particular, to be vigilant and to report any catch of pink salmon to Inland Fisheries Ireland," he added.


The head of Telit Communications, Oozi Cats, has resigned after an internal company investigation found he had concealed a US indictment against him.

Telit launched an inquiry when it was alleged Mr Cats was actually Uzi Katz, who is wanted for fraud in the US.
The internet company, which is listed on London's Aim market, said Mr Cats had "knowingly withheld" information.
It said his non-disclosure was a "source of considerable anger".
Mr Cats is one of the founders of the business which he has led since 2000. Telit is a supplier to Tesla, the electric car maker.
He took a leave of absence last Tuesday following a board meeting, and Telit has now confirmed he has stepped down and ended his employment with the company.
In a statement, the company said: "It is a source of considerable anger to the board that the historical indictment against Oozi Cats was never disclosed to them or previous members of the board and that they have only been made aware of its existence through third parties."
The US authorities have warrants against Uzi Katz, which date back to 1992, for allegedly setting up a fraudulent property scheme.
A spokesmen for Telit said: "This matter has been dealt with quickly and we are now driving the company forward."
Telit said it would recruit three new non-executive directors, one of whom would replace the current chairman, Enrico Testa.
Shares in Telit rose nearly 15% to 142p on Monday morning, but still remain well below the 182p level the shares were at before the allegations about Mr Cats emerged.
Mr Cats has not yet publicly commented on his resignation.
A spokesman for London Stock Exchange Group said it was unable to comment on individual Aim-listed companies.
These allegations are another blow to the credibility of Aim, London's junior stock market.
Aim - or the Alternative Investment Market, as it be used to called - is designed to give small companies which cannot afford the full costs of a market listing access to public funds.
It has spawned some huge successes - Asos, the fashion retailer, is an Aim stalwart that is now worth Â£4.5bn - but has also tested investors' patience.
Two years ago five Chinese companies had their shares suspended in quick succession in a spate of corporate governance scandals, including one memorable debacle when the London board had to confess it had been unable to make contact with the management in China.


Violence at Wales' Euro 2016 match against England could be minimised if French police heed their British colleagues' advice, security experts have said.

The number of police officers has been increased for when the two British sides meet in Lens on Thursday.
There were already concerns about security surrounding the match.
But that has intensified following Saturday's clashes between English and Russian fans in Marseille.
Crime and security expert Dr David Lowe said the level of the antagonism between Wales and England was lower than England-Russia.
But he added the British and French forces had markedly different methods of policing.
"Both sides of supporters will be used to the British way of policing, but they need to be respectful of how policing is done there," said the former Special Branch counter-terrorist detective, who is now an expert on crime and security at Liverpool John Moores University," he said.
"There will be spotters from the British football intelligence unit looking for known individuals and trouble-makers who have injunctions out against them.
"There will always be one or two idiots who will have been drinking all day and are looking for trouble and they will be identified quite rightly and eliminated," he added.
Six England fans were jailed following violence in Marseille at the weekend while French police said 150 "well-trained" Russian hooligans were behind the trouble at the end of the match at the Stade Velodrome.
Russia has received a suspended disqualification from the tournament and the Russian FA was also fined 150,000 Euros (Â£119,000) over the crowd trouble.
Meanwhile, Wales supporters were praised by police for their behaviour in Bordeaux when the team beat Slovakia 2-1.
England supporters are due to be in Lille ahead of Thursday's match against Wales in nearby Lens, while Russia play Slovakia in the city on Wednesday.
Ticketless Wales fans have been advised not to travel to Lens or Lille.
But for those who go with or without tickets, Dr Lowe said UK officers would be advocating a "softly-softly" approach as riot gear and tear gas would be a shock for most supporters.
"Our officers tend to build up a rapport with supporters and are more used to the banter," he added.
Ian Whitfield, a former public order commander with Merseyside police who has policed Premier League, European and international football matches, said: "It's going to be a difficult situation because the French police have a fundamentally very different approach and don't have a model of active engagement with the fans.
"Our officers can't dictate operational policing, they can only advise, but on the ground they will be chatting to supporters and known offenders before the game and gauging the mood.
"They will also be getting the message across about keeping a low profile which can help the supporters to self-police when people are causing trouble."
Mr Whitfield is also a senior lecturer at the Liverpool Centre for Advanced Policing Studies and has a specialism in researching crowd behaviour.
Gerry Toms, a former chief superintendant with South Wales Police, and ex-general manager of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, said there was very little historical evidence of problems between Welsh and English supporters and most of the interaction around the match would be "friendly banter".
He said: "The UK football intelligence system is one of the best in Europe and where the English and Welsh officers will be helping is by advising that if French officers are not comfortable with fans' behaviour, early intervention and talking to supporters works best.
"They will be gauging the mood and trying to see that boisterous singing isn't read as a threat so the French police don't make an inappropriate or heavy-handed response.
"The problem is if the French riot police use tear gas indiscriminately as happened in Marseille, you create the opposite effect.
"You don't want a riot with everybody against police - that breaks troublemakers up into smaller groups which makes the problem spread wider."
He said there are fears Russian fans will try to get from their next match in nearby Lille to cause trouble with English fans.
"Lens is a very small place and these people work best under cover of a large crowd so I don't think it will be as effective.
"The ban on alcohol in bars will also help those who could be caught up in violence from drinking too much and the French police will be listening to the English police and saying to supporters: 'This is an historic occasion with two UK teams playing in an international tournament - enjoy the occasion and don't antagonise each other."


An animal rights row has erupted in India over a school textbook which tells children how to suffocate kittens.

The book, which is used in hundreds of private schools, features a science experiment in which two cats are placed in separate boxes - only one of which has airholes.
Activists argued that it endangered the lives of children and animals.
Many schools have now scrapped the offending page.
The passage in Our Green World: Environment Studies is meant to demonstrate that air is essential for life. It reads: "Put a small kitten in each box. Close the boxes. After some time open the boxes. What do you see? The kitten inside the box without holes has died."
The book's publisher has promised it will not appear in the next edition, according to the Indian Express.
Parvesh Gupta of PP Publications said: "A parent had called us a couple of months ago and asked us to remove the text from the book because it was harmful for children. We recalled books from our distribution channel and will come out with a revised book next year."
Shocked Indians shared their disgust online, saying the book was wholly unsuitable for children.
"Person who wrote such experiment must be put in instead of animal. Fools," wrote a tweeter with the handle Thinking Indian.
"It might be stupid, but they were endangering the lives of the children and animals by citing such an experiment," Vidhi Matta, spokeswoman for the Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations, told the AFP news agency.
She admitted she did not know of anyone who had attempted the experiment.
Controversies over Indian textbooks are not uncommon.
A book in the western state of Gujarat made headlines in 2014 for claiming that Japan had dropped nuclear bombs on the US during the Second World War.
Just last week, a row erupted in Maharashtra state over a textbook that said "ugly" and "handicapped" brides had led to a rise in dowries being claimed by the groom's family.
Carnivores have also been a target for bile.
In 2012, a national text for 11-year-old students was discovered that said people who eat meat, "easily cheat, tell lies, forget promises, are dishonest and tell bad words, steal, fight and turn to violence and commit sex crimes".


Nathan Cleverly says his bout with Badou Jack "could be the real fight of the night" on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather's "freak event" fight with Conor McGregor.

Welshman Cleverly will be defending his WBA world light heavyweight title against the Swede.
And he says McGregor has no chance of winning on 26 August in Las Vegas.
"In chief support you've got the 'real' fight, between myself and Jack, two world class operators," he said.
"This could be the real fight of the night and I'm looking to capitalise."
Cleverly believes the crossover fight between undefeated boxer Mayweather, 40, and UFC lightweight champion McGregor, 29, who has never boxed professionally, is a complete mismatch.
"I don't believe there is anyway McGregor can win, Mayweather is too good in his art and craft to allow McGregor to capitalise," Cleverly said.
"But fair play, they've made it a one-off, freak event."
Cleverly, who fought on the undercard of Joe Calzaghe's 2008 showdown with Bernard Hopkins in Vegas, says the magnitude of this fight eclipses any he has previously been involved with.
"It is one of these once in a blue moon fantasy fights that come along once in a generation," he said.
"My fight could be the real fight of the night and I'm looking to capitalise on that.
"The occasion is massive, the magnitude and the scale of the event, we are privileged to be on this event, it is a great opportunity. I am aware of the global scale of it, of the viewership.
"The fight has captured everyone's imagination and I think even though it is not a true boxing fight, for me, selfishly, I am glad of the opportunity it gives me, it is great exposure for everyone involved."
Explaining that he does not believe McGregor has a chance, Cleverly added that the Irish boxer "does not deserve," the opportunity he has, but credits him for taking his chance.
"An MMA specialist coming over, boxing is not his main field, so I believe an upset is not on the cards," he said.
"It is a fight, anything can happen, but realistically? Mayweather is too good.
"Does he deserve this opportunity in boxing? No.
"But can you blame him for making it happen and combining with Mayweather to make it happen? No you cannot and fair play to him for the work put in, inside and outside the gym to capture the public's imagination."
Cleverly says the exposure of facing Jack, a Swedish boxer based in Vegas, gives him a chance to enter boxing's 'elite' level as he targets a potential future fight with Andre Ward.
"I've been very patient and I am the current world champion, that puts me in a strong position and I knew sooner or later this fight would be made," he said.
"On an exposure level, in the hierarchy of boxing this fight is exceptionally important. In terms of breaking into that elite level, this is the most important fight of my career."
Cleverly said he feels he has a significant advantage over his opponent, a former super middleweight world champion who beat George Groves and drew last time out with James DeGale as he prepares to face a British boxer for a third time.
"I am a seasoned campaigner at light heavyweight, but this is Jack's first fight at the weight and he will realise in the ring, half a stone is a jump up, it makes a difference," added Cleverly.
"I see it going the distance, potentially, neither of us are KO artists, we both punch hard, maybe a stoppage victory is more possible.
"But the win is the crucial aspect here."
