thanks, sarah. that's all from us. hello and welcome to sportsday this monday night with me chetan pathak, coming up on the programme... still a lot of work to do says gareth southgate — england start with a win, but there are plenty of questions to be answered — we'll be live with the england camp shortly. definitely work to be done for scotland too — but will manager steve clark stick or twist for their upcoming match against switzerland 7 and what next for rory mcilroy — after he misses out on winning the us open — despite leading with just five holes left to play. also coming up on sportsday before 7... two weeks out from wimbledon — double british success on the grass. katie boulter wins in nottingham and jack draper's feeling

better than ever after his first tour title. i'm just i'mjust in i'm just in such a different place mentally, physically and just my tennis as well as very different. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. 2a hours on from england's winning start at the european championship, gareth southgate says his side have "hard work to do" if they're to progress at the tournament. their nervy1—0 win over serbia wasn't entirely convicing — but one player who was — wasjude bellingham, living up to the hype after his dream season at real madrid, scoring the winner in what was another imperious display, as ever though, there are questions not least how do england get the best out of phil foden,

the premier league's player of the season struggled to make an impact. let's go to erfurt where england are based in germany. alex howell is there for us. let's start with the positives — and top of that list isjude bellingham who enjoyed his goal and the celebration? that's right, so much spoken about julie bellingham coming into this tournament as potentially one of the best players in the world at this point. move to rail madrid for 100 million euros and he's lived up to the hype, when the champions league, won the league title there and coming into the euros as the player with the most hype around him in the most pressure on his shoulders, but last night he lived up to that, scoring the only goal as england beat serbia 1—0 in the opening match of your 2024 and serbia definitely paid special attention to him, tried to stop him a number of times with heavy tackles that he managed to

shrug it off. and he managed to score that winning goal and celebrated with liverpool player trent alexander arnold with a very particular celebration. they've been playing a card game called wolf in the england camp and it's where they have to try and see what some players are the wolf, some of the villagers and you have to try to deceive each other. it's very similar to the bbc show, the traitors. that's why they celebrated one of the backroom staff, the team photographer, but he picked up player of the match and was in excellent performance to kick things off. . , ., u, , excellent performance to kick things off. . , ., ., off. that is not the case for phil folden, a _ off. that is not the case for phil folden, a huge _ off. that is not the case for phil folden, a huge question, - off. that is not the case for phil folden, a huge question, isn't. off. that is not the case for phil. folden, a huge question, isn't it, how do england get the best out of them. ——phil foden. it's a question that has had to be fielded for a couple of months, maybe even years now, how do you get him to replicate the form he showed in manchester city in an england

shirt? he comes into this tournament is the premier league player of the season one of the premier league —— one the permit league title again, when the trouble last season with manchester city, but with england, doesn't quite work the same as it doesn't quite work the same as it does for his club. it's a very structured side and the players have their positions, obviously of course you have harry kane, england captain, record goal scorer on the right, and breaking into the england team at the last euros, jude billingham has made the number 10 shirt, which we havejust billingham has made the number 10 shirt, which we have just discussed which leaves phil folden to play off that left side, which many say it isn't his favourite position. —— phil foden. that leaves a lot of debate of where we will see the best of phil foden in england shirt. respectively, everyone understands that that _ respectively, everyone understands that that wasn't his best performance yesterday and overall, people _ performance yesterday and overall, people know that him playing on the left isn't _ people know that him playing on the left isn't his best position. but i think— left isn't his best position. but i think as — left isn't his best position. but i think as far— left isn't his best position. but i think as far as football goes, there is a times— think as far as football goes, there is a times when you don't have the best game, — is a times when you don't have the best game, you don't have the same influence. _ best game, you don't have the same influence, sometimes it's due to your— influence, sometimes it's due to

beat the press from the other team, so when serbia were really pressed up so when serbia were really pressed up against that england defence, one way to get out of the pressure is to miss it completely and harry kane is very good, as we saw last night, winning a lot of free kicks, which is a way to relieve pressure. jordan pickford alongside his goalkeeping ability, england's number one for his ability with the ball at his feet and we saw that last night. not only can he play short, but he is very accurate with his long distance passing as well. very accurate with his long distance passing as well-— passing as well. intriguing times amid all of _ passing as well. intriguing times amid all of those _ passing as well. intriguing times amid all of those questions - passing as well. intriguing times amid all of those questions that| amid all of those questions that with god. denmark next, of course, for england. we will leave it there for england. we will leave it there for now. thank you. so a few things for england to solve on the pitch, and issues to solve off it too — with england fans raising "serious concerns" about transport delays at the euros after some supporters were left stranded for hours following the win over serbia. some have complained of issues getting to and from the stadium in gelsenkirchen, with many missing connecting trains after the game and some having to walk for miles instead to their destination.

certainly after the game, there was far too many people heading to small areas, small trains, i'm a trained driver myself back in the uk. there is no chance that it would've driven that train last night. i wouldn't have moved the train because when the train was completely full, there were passengers outside the train from a door is shut, with their faces pushed against the windows. very, very dangerous. it's not acceptable. they really need to look at that situation. you know? lighting was poor, information was extremely poor. ilrrul’ith lighting was poor, information was extremely poor-— lighting was poor, information was extremely poor. with more on this — thomas concannon is the football supporter�*s association spokesman. he was at last night's england game and has been speaking to our sports correspondent andy swiss. a lot of england fans have raised serious — a lot of england fans have raised serious concerns with how they got to the _

around scotland's training camp here still reverberating through the shock waves of friday night defender grant handley speaking to the media today, thrown in the second match against the germans but by that point, of course, is very much damage limitation. two real key points it did play a part for some of the players on friday night, although they don't want to use that as an excuse the captain wanting to get back to basics, back to the basics that's steve clarke achieved such success in recent years. this has been a _ such success in recent years. this has been a grow _ such success in recent years. this has been a group that has been together— has been a group that has been together for quite a while now, so our ups— together for quite a while now, so our ups and — together for quite a while now, so our ups and our downs together. definitely — our ups and our downs together. definitely going to take confidence in the _ definitely going to take confidence in the group that we have shown before _ in the group that we have shown before that we've come back from negative _ before that we've come back from negative results and bounced back. it's negative results and bounced back. its always— negative results and bounced back. it's always been the same. you know, that is— it's always been the same. you know, that is learning from where you went wrong _ that is learning from where you went wrong and _ that is learning from where you went wrong and continuing to move forward, — wrong and continuing to move forward, you know, again, we've got a massive _ forward, you know, again, we've got a massive opportunity to be

the group of the other two sides, belgium and slovakia currently playing each other. could be another surprise on the cards. belgium began the stronger but against the run of play, -- ivan shranz capitalised on some poor belgian defending after seven minutes. they came close to doubling that lead, but were denied by a fabulous save by koen casteels. belgium's all—time record goal scorer romelu lukaku thought he'd struck back, but var ruled his equaliser to have been offside. it remains 1—0 two slovakia with around six minutes of normal time left. tonight it's the turn of one of the favourites france to take centre stage. the two time winners open their campaign against austria in dusseldorf. their star player kylian mbappe says the current political uncertainty in france means depending on who wins the election — he may not be interested in playing

for his country in the future. translation: i don't want to represent — translation: i don't want to represent a — translation: i don't want to represent a country _ translation: i don't want to represent a country that - translation: i don't want to l represent a country that doesn't reflect my values, that doesn't reflect my values, that doesn't reflect our values, as i believe and hope we are all on the same side. that's why we can't hide. it's often said that you must not mix politics and football, and i agree when it's and football, and i agree when it's a normal situation, but when you are in a situation like this, it's very important. it's more important than our opening match. it's true. and i hope people want to be angry at me for saying this, because today the country is in a very serious situation. austria go into tonight's game against france having not lost in 15 of their past 16 games. marcel sabitzer and marko arnautovic could become the first austria players to feature at three major tournaments? translation: we are playing against the world cop — translation: we are playing against the world cup runners-up _ translation: we are playing against the world cup runners-up and - the world cup runners—up and definitely— the world cup runners—up and definitely the nation that has the best group, the best forwards. so we

next tonight — it was oh so close, but ultimately not to be for rory mcilroy. ten years since he last won a major, he had a two shot lead with five holes to play at the us open. victory was in his grasp after overhauling a three—shot overnight deficit. but then, not for the first time, it all went wrong as amercia's bryson dechambeau clinched his second major title. craig templeton reports. before his final round, rory mcelroy was close to the us open trophy, during it, he would get even closer. but first he had to get back into contention. he started the day three shots off of the lead on the first. —— mcilroy. he was chasing bryson dechambeau about the four—time major champion had this to get in front. the northern irishman may have for

majors, but none for a decade, during that time, there has been some near mrs. none of those, though, were quite like this. mcilroy on the last to stay tied at the top, bogie, and it was now bryson dechambeau's to lose. at the american to school and got the power that he needed for his second us open. i that he needed for his second us 0 en. ., , that he needed for his second us 0 en, ., , ., that he needed for his second us oen. . .,, open. iwas a little lucky. rory didn't make — open. iwas a little lucky. rory didn't make the _ open. iwas a little lucky. rory didn't make the parts - open. iwas a little lucky. rory didn't make the parts he - open. iwas a little lucky. rory didn't make the parts he could| open. i was a little lucky. rory- didn't make the parts he could have coming in and... i had an amazing up and down on the last. i don't know what else to say. it's a dream come true. is. what else to say. it's a dream come true. �* ., what else to say. it's a dream come true. . ., . ., what else to say. it's a dream come true. . ., _, ., �* _. true. a dream come true for bryson dechambeau. _ true. a dream come true for bryson dechambeau, but _ true. a dream come true for bryson dechambeau, but more _ true. a dream come true for bryson dechambeau, but more major - dechambeau, but more major disappointment for rory mcilroy. heartbreakfor heartbreak for him. since mcilroy won the last of his four majors in 2014, that is the fourth time he's finished second at a major. in 2018, he shared second at the open, in a group with

justin rose and xander schauffele, as italian francesco molinari took victory. at the 2022 masters, he was three shots off the eventual winner scottie scheffler, thanks to a marvellous 64 round on the final day, but it was too little too late. and then last year at the us open, he finished a shot behind wyndham clark, afterfailing to hit another birdie after the first hole, which at that point had handed him the overall lead. and now the biggest disappointment of all. at pinehurst�*s fabled number two course in north carolina, a collapse perhaps more brutal than any before. nick faldo says it will haunt mcillroy forever — so how does he recover. that's the question i've been asking english golfer graeme storm. he was so, so close to getting that fifth major and we know how much she striving to get that fifth major all

that he'd done, he missed those two pots in 500 attempts over the season, so his putting has been really strong of late but it's let him down at that crucial moment. it's no longer in our conversation about the masters and that's a well—worn conversation. it is now very much can he win any major and it's been a decade since he won his last. do you think it's inevitable, will he win another major or not? absolutely. for me, he is arguably the best player in the world. i know he's been absolutely outstanding and amazing this season, winning the masters, winning five of their tournaments on the pga tour and looks every week as though he's going to win, but rory on his a—game is really, really difficult to beat. and when he's playing like he was playing at pinehurst, which you have to remember, the golf course was really difficult, really difficult to hit the greens. next minute it's

in the native area and found it difficult to get up and down or even make his partner. so it's always difficult to win a major and it's always going to be on the back of his mind, no matter how well he is playing, if he is not in a good vein of form when he's gone into a tournaments, he will definitely win at least one, too, may be multiple more majors. whilst rory mcilroy was left thinking about what could have been — the british number ones katie boulter and jack draper are seemingly heading into tennis�* next major with momentum. wimbledon starts two weeks today and both are celebrating title wins on grass. for boulter, her three set win over karolina pliskova in the nottingham open final means it's back to back wins there as she now targets a place in the world's top 20 and a deep run at wimbledon. she's now won three titles in a year and is full of hope for the season ahead. i'm not entirely sure if i'm dreaming or if this actuallyjust

happened, yeah, obviously it's incredible to be here, it's got a special place in my heart, it always will do. i haven't got much voice left, but i'm trying to talk as much as possible, but it has been an incredible week for me mentally tough after a really hard clay—court season. meanwhile andy murray's predicting that jack draper could become a future world number one — after he won his first atp tour title, beating the former wimbledon finalist matteo berretini to lift the trophy at the stuttgart open. he's now the highest ranked british player, just outside the top 30, and will begin his campaign at queens tomorrow. just the way i played last week is what i'm most proud of. so, yeah, even though it is not too long to reset, i've got to play tomorrow, i'm obviously very proud, winning my first onejust before i'm obviously very proud, winning my first one just before coming here as well and feeling confident in all of

these types of things as well definitely means a lot to me. it's something i will remember forever. how far i have come in the last year, it's really nice to be able to get the title last week, yeah, i'm just in such a different place mentally, physically and just my tennis as well is very different. well the man draper replaced at the top of the british rankings — cam norrie — has been on court — and in the last 40 minutes, he has lost his opening round match at queens — beaten by canadian milos raonic in three sets. raonic winning the decider on a tie—break —11—9. well for more on all of this, with one eye on wimbledon, just around the corner, i spoke to our tennis correspondent russell fuller a short while ago and begun by asking him about norrie's opening round defeat. in some ways, it was the worst possible draw who lost in the first round of the french open and then lost to jack pennington jones, round of the french open and then lost to jack penningtonjones, a young lost to jack pennington jones, a young british player who is outside the top 700 in the world at the time when he beat him at the challenger nottingham last week to draw who has

had a lot of injury problems and has played sparingly over the last few years, but a man who's been in the queen's club final report, wimbledon final before in 2016, and he served 47 aces in three sets, subject to official confirmation, i believe thatis official confirmation, i believe that is a record for a preset match and he won a third set tie—break against cameron norrie by 11 points to nine to send the brit out in the very first round and it means his ranking is going to rank outside the top 40 of the world. the man who has replaced him is jack draper. he won his first tour title. andy murray predicting big things. how far do you thinkjack draper can go in his career?— go in his career? well, a lot of 'udaes go in his career? well, a lot of judges believe _ go in his career? well, a lot of judges believe that _ go in his career? well, a lot of judges believe that he - go in his career? well, a lot of judges believe that he can - go in his career? well, a lot of - judges believe that he can certainly be a top ten player. you have the potential to win grand slam titles. he's had an enormous amount of

promise for a long time. he's now 22. he did have some physical issues earlier in his career and he's been frustrated with the way tournaments gone so far this year, was making some changes not so much to his technique but more to his mindset saying, look, a six foot man, i need to dominate my opponents. that put a shift in gear that did not come easily for him in the clay—court season. but he seems to have flip that switch very quickly indeed and to be able to win the streetcar title has given him an enormous amount of confidence and wimbledon to come. he's very good on the hard courts but there's no reason why he shouldn't be a huge success on grass as well given that frame and that serve. ., , , , ., as well given that frame and that serve. ., , ,, ., i. as well given that frame and that serve. ., , ,, ., , serve. how impressed have you been with katie bolter _ serve. how impressed have you been with katie bolter to _ serve. how impressed have you been with katie bolter to really _ serve. how impressed have you been with katie bolter to really step - with katie bolter to really step things up across the last 12 months, back to back nottingham titles now. well—positioned to have that deep run at a grand slam?

only 39 days to go now until that gets under way and today, there's been a dress rehearsal of the opening ceremony — with dozens of boats taking part on the river seine in paris. a total of 205 delegations will parade on more than 80 boats in the official ceremony which will take place onjuly 26th. a dry run through today with not too long to go. i can tell you, slovakia still lead belgian 1—0 deep in stoppage time. for me and the team, thatis stoppage time. for me and the team, that is all for now. goodbye. hello. we have seen some warm sunshine around today, particularly across parts of southern england. for other areas further north, there have been a few showers around. as we head through the day tomorrow, again, a day of sunny spells for many of us. there will be a few showers in the forecast, so not completely dry. we've got this area of low pressure sitting across the bay

of biscay at the moment. that's moving its way in, and just grazes the southeast corner of england. so that's going to bring some rain through tomorrow. for the rest of this evening into tonight, then, most places looking dry, showers easing away. still quite cloudy and breezy with a few showers across northern parts of scotland. could be one or two misty patches toward central and southern england, perhaps. a relatively cool night for this stage injune with temperatures between 8—12 celsius in our towns and cities, a touch cooler in the countryside. so, a lot of dry weather through tuesday morning. variable amounts of cloud. let's just take a look down towards the southeast. there is that area of rain moving out of the channel islands, perhaps affecting east sussex and kent, for instance, as well. but away from that area, lots of sunshine around. more showers as we head north through the spine of the country,

so the midlands, the pennines up towards central parts of scotland as well. a slightly brighter day, i think, for northern ireland compared to recent days, a bit more sunshine coming through here. still a northerly breeze blowing, and we will see these showers continuing through into the afternoon across scotland and through the spine of northern england, but i think either side of that, of a fair amount of dry and settled weather. it should dry up along the south coast after the earlier rain as well. temperatures up to around 16—21 celsius for most of us. now, we've got high—pressure that's trying to ridge in from the atlantic here as we head towards the middle of the week. so that should quiet the weather down, really. heading into wednesday, another mostly dry and settled day. you are showers then we have seen over recent days. a bit more cloud and some patchy rain into the far north—northwest of scotland. elsewhere, a bit of cloud building through the day, but some strong sunshine lifting temperatures quite widely into low 20s across southern and central parts of england and wales. high teens for scotland and northern ireland. into thursday, and again, we've got more cloud in the northwest of the uk, turning a bit more breezy with a few showers here. but for most areas, a dry, settled day, and in that sunshine, we are likely to see temperatures lifting to around

about 21—22 celsius. still a bit cooler for the likes of stornoway, lerwick, where we've got the cloud, breeze and showers. but most places looking dry and settled as we head through thursday into friday, but some rain in the northwest, perhaps more widespread on saturday. it's 7pm in london. nigel garage launches reform uk: get
