testament to the profound impact that rob burrow had, notjust overrule calmac at rugby league, but the wider british public. it is his work posed diagnosis to raise awareness, to raise money for the community that has captured the heart of so many people. so many people having the opportunity on one of the grander stage at wembley to share those emotions and share those thoughts. it has been a very special day. thoughts. it has been a very special da . �* . , , thoughts. it has been a very special da. . day. adam, i spoke about the celebrations. _ day. adam, i spoke about the celebrations. it _ day. adam, i spoke about the celebrations. it seems - day. adam, i spoke about the celebrations. it seems they i day. adam, i spoke about the l celebrations. it seems they are still happening. if we talk about the men's final, a record 21st victory for wigan. was it as convincing as the score probably suggested?— suggested? well, in truth, it robabl suggested? well, in truth, it probably was. _ suggested? well, in truth, it probably was. wigan - suggested? well, in truth, it| probably was. wigan warriors champions once again. no one has won the challenge cup more times than them. they really need now are the

their hands on the trophy once more. but this much change with somebody losing their heads. you can't make tackles like that. sent off for an early bath. northampton took full advantage of the extra man immediately, with more space than before, soaring. saints added another, but bath got back into it, the try, 15—10 at half—time. it was the try, 15—10 at half—time. it was the 14 men of bath who started quicker, a smart kick, and he did the rest and levelled the score. eventually their defence started showing leaks. saints found in brittany and alex mitchell scored the try to seal their first premiership title in a decade. what are tape them and a moment, their final act as saints players to hold that trophy aloft.

meanwhile, at the t20 world cup after their opening match against scotland was rained off — england are hoping to kick start their tournament. they are currently playing old rivals australie in barbados. england won the toss and decided to bowl. it hasn't gone to plan, australia started explosively. they put the defending champions under pressure early on with some huge hitting. they reached 50—0 inside four overs with a big total inside. england have dismissed both, with warner going for 39 and then travis head out. this is the latest. australia 90—2 after eight overs. you can follow it live over on the bbc sport website, where there is live radio commentary and text

updates as well. earlier, there was a huge shock in group c as afghanistan beat 2021 finalists new zealand. rahmanullah gurbaz top—scored with 80 to set a target of 160. but new zealand got nowhere near it, fazalhaq farooqi taking four wickets as they bowled out the kiwis to win by 84 runs. that makes it two wins from two for afghanistan and they are currently top of their group. so, while england aim to defend their t20 world cup trophy, iga swiatek has successfully defended her french open crown. the number one seed beat italianjasmine paolini at roland garros for her third straight women's singles title. patrick gearey was watching. jasmine paolini had been climbing fast, rising from relative obscurity to the bigger stage of her life, but now another level altogether. iga swiatek is the queen of clay, but jasmine paolini couldn't afford to

offer to much respect. she broke her early on, but swiatek was the back—to—back champion, she sensed the moment. she was soon on top. in the moment. she was soon on top. in the set and on your screen, the polish world number one can move the match into fast forward. jasmine paolini knew it was going away, and her remarkable turn has seen her beat great players, but swiatek is something else. she ceded one game in the second set, she's lost one singles match in the last five championships. a roland garros, she's moving from champion to phenomenon. it is more competitive, more complicated at the other grand slams. in paris, iga swiatek stand clear, a poll apart. so, swiatek�*s dominance has earned her the nickname "the queen of clay" which is a nod to iii—time men's singles champion rafa nadal, who was similarly dominant in paris. but our tennis correspondent russell fuller says it's not a title

swiatek particularly wants. she tries to avoid comparisons to rafa nadal because quite probably she won't win 14 french open titles. she already has four and editor in 23 on the first friday of the championships. she's not been as dominant on other services. she has won the us open, but for her five grand slam titles have come on the clay. it looks like it will be her strength. in terms of history, at such a young age, she has now drawn level with martina hingis on five grand slam titles. figs level with martina hingis on five grand slam titles.— level with martina hingis on five grand slam titles. as you mention, wimbledon — grand slam titles. as you mention, wimbledon possibly _ grand slam titles. as you mention, wimbledon possibly next, - grand slam titles. as you mention, wimbledon possibly next, a - grand slam titles. as you mention, wimbledon possibly next, a test. i wimbledon possibly next, a test. speaking of which, some british success in the form of the men's wheelchair doubles.— success in the form of the men's wheelchair doubles. yes, a familiar sto for wheelchair doubles. yes, a familiar story for gordon _ wheelchair doubles. yes, a familiar story for gordon reid _ wheelchair doubles. yes, a familiar story for gordon reid and - wheelchair doubles. yes, a familiar story for gordon reid and alfie - story for gordon reid and alfie hewitt. everywhere they go to play,

he's very good on the court. a lot of experience playing there. he's beenin of experience playing there. he's been in the semifinal four years in a row, so this will be a competitive final indeed. qualifying for this weekend's canadian grand prix is to come later this evening. you'll be able to stay across that from 9pm over on the bbc sport website, with the race live from 7 o'clock on radio 5 live and bbc sounds tomorrow evening. fastest in the final practice session before this evening's qualifying was.... lewis hamilton went quicker, the seven time world champion was 0.3 seconds ahead of max verstappen. his fellow briton george russell was third. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. preemoz roglitch looks like he's coming into form just in time for the tour de france.

reminder of our top story, a poignant day at wembley saw saint helens live their respective challenge cup trophies as the sport paid tribute to rob burrow one week on from his sad passing. that is all, thank you for watching. from me and the rest of the bbc sport team, goodbye for now. hello. it's been a pretty decent start to the weekend. there was a good deal of sunshine around across most of the country. a bit of cloud here and there, a few showers mostly in the north. part two of the weekend doesn't look quite as good. it will start certainly quite chilly. but we've got a couple of weather fronts pushing down from the northwest that will increase cloud through the day with some splashes of rain. and we've got this weather front approaching the northwest of the country to move through this evening. showers merging together to produce

longer spells of rain for the north and west of scotland. so unsettled, breezy, showery in the north, turning cloudier for northern ireland, but clearer skies for large parts of england and wales with lighter winds here. so it will turn chilly for most, single digits, i think, for the majority of the country. but with more cloud across northern ireland, we will fall to around ten degrees in belfast. so sunday, then, we've got low pressure still towards the norwegian sea there, bringing northern westerly winds into the country. we start to have quite a bit of sunshine. scotland, england and wales, cloudy skies for northern ireland, southwest scotland in towards northwest england, north wales. and that cloud with splashes of rain will spill south—eastwards through the day. so it will turn cloudy across much of england and wales, probably the best of the sunshine across the far south west and the northern half of scotland doing pretty well with sunny spells. but there will be blustery showers here and a cooler day to come, i think, because of more cloud around, temperatures of about 12 to 17 degrees. as we move through sunday night, that area of rain splashes across the irish sea to much of england and wales, becomes confined to southern and eastern

areas by the end of the night. so where we have the cloud and the rain, then, a less cold night here, 10 to 12 degrees under clearer skies. further north, it will turn chilly. we start to pick up a northerly wind as we move into monday. that rain slowly clears away from the south and east. it may take a while to clear the east of england. eventually it will do that. it's a bright day for most, sunshine and showers. most of these across the northern half of scotland, where they will be quite blustery and a chilly northerly wind at that. temperatures, 10 to 14 degrees in the north, 15 to 17 further south, giving some sunny spells. and we hold on to this chilly northerly wind through tuesday, even into wednesday as well. and before low pressure starts to move in from the south west, that'll cut off the chilly northerly and temperatures will slowly recover towards the end of the week. but it's going to be a fairly unsettled and a cool week to come with a little bit of sunshine here and there.
