Tomato leaf problem

Hi, I'm new on here and a novice gardener. I'm growing three different types of tomato plants in grow bags and a pot in a greenhouse. Two of the tomato types have started produce shiny white/grey patches on lower leaves. This spreads to most of the leaf which starts to curl up at the edges.
can anyone tell me what it is and what I can do about it? Many thanks

Looks like leaf scorch. Try not to get water on the leaves when watering them.
Also try to put some shading on the greenhouse if at all possible

Hi I use water bottles cut in half submerged in the compost of the pot in plant my toms in. From there I water into the bottle where the water gets to the base of the plants and roots not affecting the foliage. I also do the same for cucumber plants and it works
Thanks very much for your feedback everyone. I have actually put up more shade on the greenhouse as it was roasting in there. I'll see how it goes. I'm pretty careful about watering at the base of the plants so there shouldn't be any water getting on the leaves.
