and india demonstate their title credentials, as they beat afghanistan at the t20 world cup in barbados. hello there, and welcome along to the programme. england missed the chance to secure the spot in the euro 2024 knockouts as group winners earlier, after a frustrating and disappointing draw with denmark. the match in frankfurt failed to provide any spark — and after taking the lead, gareth southgate�*s side again failed to impress, leaving the door open for others in the final group games. andy swiss reports. hoping to make a splash. england fans soaking up the atmosphere in frankfurt, as thousands descended on the city's main square before heading

for the stadium and, they hoped, another victory. after their narrow opening win over serbia, england were up against denmark and the anticipation was deafening. god save the king sung by the watching prince of wales. could england keep their cool? they struggled to keep their feet at first — kyle walker among a host of players sliding around, but soon it was denmark's turn to slip up and midway through the first half, england pounced. and a good chance for kane! a case of captain fantastic, as harry kane sparked euphoria amongst his team—mates and every england fan. could they now kick on? well, not so, as denmark hit back, and how. that's a good effort, it's a wonderful strike! morten hjulmand with a stunner as the danes began to dominate and england began to toil. after a lethargic first half,

could they find some spark? now it's foden. off the post. well, phil foden came oh, so close, but the frustration was plain to see. england rang the changes, captain kane replaced by ollie watkins and the substitute almost made an instant impact. but england were still sloppy, sluggish, and in the closing minutes, pierre—emile hojbjerg so nearly made them pay. faith in england's captain and tactics is being _ faith in england's captain and tactics is being tested. - i think we've got the talent, i don't think we've got the manager. we have the best attacking i players possibly in the whole tournament and we are not using them well. _ we are playing too defensive. no initiative, no trying to get on the front foot, just very boring football. england are still top of their group but after this, that may seem about the only positive. and he smacks, bc news, profit. england are still in the

driving seat in their group. they need to deliver a wi and a vast improvement against slovenia next week to be sure of topping the group. the england boss gareth southgate knows they still have work to do. that's evident from the two performances we've given, but we have to stay tight. we understand people will be disappointed with the performances, and rightly so, and we have to make it better. i know there will be those annoyed and disappointed back home, — annoyed and disappointed back home, but we experienced this in the — home, but we experienced this in the last_ home, but we experienced this in the last years as well when we drew— in the last years as well when we drew with scotland. so we 'ust we drew with scotland. so we just need _ we drew with scotland. so we just need to stay calm, it's a time — just need to stay calm, it's a time to— just need to stay calm, it's a time to reflect and try and improve _ time to reflect and try and improve for sure, but step—by—step we will get there. the other game in england's group finished all square, after a very very late equaliser from serbia to deny slovenia a famous victory. slovenia had drawn their opening match against denmark, and were heading for their first win at a european championship after zan karnicnik gave them the lead midway through the second half, a move started

and finished by the full back. but a twist — four minutes and 59 seconds into the five minutes of injury time, luka jovic headed in from a corner. joy for serbia, their first point of the tournament, which gives them a chance of staying in it. spain are through to the last 16, after they maintained their perfect start with a 1—0 win against the defending champions italy. the spanish dominance was rewarded in the second half, when riccardo calafiori put the ball into his own net. italy play croatia in their final game knowing a win would guarantee progression to the last 16. france boss didier deschamps says "everything is moving "in the right direction" for kylian mbappe to be available to play against the netherlands in their second euro 2024 match on friday. the striker was forced off during monday's victory over austria after breaking his nose. his face struck opponent kevin danso's shoulder, and mbappe was taken to dusseldorf hospital, where the break was confirmed, before returning to the national team's camp. the netherlands opened their tournament with a 2—1 win over poland — so what do they expect against another of

the favourites france? that'll be the challenge. obviously they have a lot of fast players up front, very good players. so we have to make the decision when to go forward, went to defend. obviously, you want to go out from your own qualities of the team, what do you want to do tactically? we can'tjust tactically? we can't just offend, tactically? we can'tjust offend, we have to attack. so we have to make the right decision, when to go and when to stay. india underlined their title credentials at the t20 world cup with a 47—run victory over afghanistan in the super—8s in barbados. suryakumar yadav struck 53 off 28 balls to lead india to an imposing 181 for eight, despite their acclaimed top orderfailing to fire. india kept the pressure on to ensure afghanistan fell far behind the required rate, before they were dismissed for 134 off the final ball, with arshdeep singh taking three for 36. what a weekjack draper is having — he won his first atp title in stuttgart on sunday, and has followed

that up with a notable win over wimbledon champion carlos alcaraz at queen's. spain's alcaraz saved three match points before draper served out from love—30, to the delight of an ecstatic home crowd. beating the world number two — who claimed the french open earlier this month — is the biggest win of draper's career by ranking. he also ended three—time grand slam champion alcaraz�*s streak of 13 straight wins on grass. eddiejones says he's got a really good feeling "in his bones" that his japan team will test england to their limits when he meets his former side on saturday in tokyo. jones is starting his second spell as japan boss, having left his job with australia after the world cup last year. that followed his sacking by england just nine months before the tournament, when he was replaced by steve borthwick — one ofjones' former assistants — who has helped bring about an improvement in form. i think for a young guy, he's doing a greatjob. as you know,

anglin is a high—pressurejob, you know, you get more scrutiny than probably any otherjob in the world. so i think he is handling that pretty well —— england is a high—pressurejob. he's reassembling that team, he's got the number of the senior players but is starting to bring some of the young players through, so he's doing a really good job. after almost a week of euro 2024 dominating the sporting world — in some parts of europe, football is being used for a very different purpose. refugees and players with intellectual disabilities are teaming up, as part of a new scheme that aims to give both groups a bigger sense of purpose and fulfilment. joe wilson went to watch one of the matches in spain. in seville, they carry a symbol. they're here for football. serious football. unified football. the teams here mix players with intellectual disability and refugees. they're trying to win, of course, but there's a deeper message. we should talk about the mindset that the community

has that exclude totally people they think that don't have ability. it's totally wrong because come closer, give them the opportunity, give them a football, give them a ball, put them in the field, put them everywhere. gerald is now a legally settled refugee in italy. he fled conflict in cameroon as a child. he now works with special olympics footballers across europe. jose luis from special olympics andalucia told me he's happy to play with people from anywhere in the world. france, germany, other parts of spain, they can be friends. close to the football pitch, seville's refugee centre is home to 120 people from four continents of the world trying to rebuild their lives. well, as you know,

on 15 august, 2021, my government collapsed by the hand of the taliban and they take over afghanistan. but the main message of this football match is about integrity and integration. and it's kind of like a turning point in my life. if you want to stick to the old, to the past, because you're going to lose the future. so that's why i'm saying, and i'm calling that a turning point. well, the medal presentation going on behind me ends this particular session, but there are over a dozen more schemes just like this one currently operating around the world. spectators joined the celebration — students, refugees, players with intellectual disabilities — if you can't spot the difference, then that is the point. joe wilson, bbc news, seville. a quick recap on the top story — england missed the chance to secure their place in the euro 2024 knockout stages as group c winners, as they were fortunate to take a draw from an underwhelming display against denmark in frankfurt.

1-1 the 1—1 the score in that match. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. desired ingredients to make the perfect summer solstice is obviously plenty of sunshine and plenty of warmth — and we had just that on thursday. the question is, will it continue into the weekend? and the answer is, on the whole, yes. warm for many of us with sunny spells, but there will be some rain around in the far west. let's take a look at that arriving in the next few hours. this weather front here, tied into this area of low pressure, will bring a little bit more of a breeze and some showery

outbreaks of rain into the northwest, albeit slowly. light winds elsewhere, maybe a little bit of early morning mist, but that will clear away very quickly indeed. a lot of sunshine for east wales, central, southern, and eastern england, along with eastern scotland throughout the day. we will start to gradually see some rain pushing into the isles of scilly and the far tip of cornwall, maybe into south wales, too — but ahead of it with the sunshine, we'll see 23—24 celsius once again. cloudy with some showers, perhaps moving to the isle of man, rain into northern ireland and to northwest scotland by the end of the day, a few showers ahead of it. but parts of eastern scotland, aberdeenshire in particular, may well see 19—20 celsius if you keep the sunshine. now, as we move out of friday into the early hours of saturday morning, that frontal system continues to sink its way steadily eastwards. it will weaken off substantially, but a band of showery rain moving its way across the pennines and down into southeast england, perhaps lingering across the essex and kent coast first thing

on saturday morning. with the cloud around, those temperatures will hold up perhaps into double digits for many. we start off on saturday with much of central and eastern england cloudy. still the odd spot or two of showery rain — but that should tend to break up, sunny spells come through. risk of a few showers to the northwest of scotland, but on the whole, not a bad afternoon for many. and temperatures again still responding, ranging from 15—22 celsius. moving out of saturday, into sunday, on the whole, we could chase a little more in the way of cloud around. but this high pressure continues to build in for the early half of next week — and with that south—westerly flow, it will turn increasingly warm and potentially a little more humid, as well. so a good deal of dry, fine weather to start off the week. a little bit of a question mark, really, from wednesday into thursday — it might turn a little bit more unsettled.
