2:46 am
both scotland and hungary needed to summon all their heart and strength in stuttgart, with both sides needing a positive result to avoid elimination. a cagey first half in which scotland had the most possession of the ball saw hungary have the best opportunity. willi orban's header catching the crossbar after a free kick from liverpool's dominik szoboszlai. scotland didn't manage a single shot until shay adams fired off target in the 53rd minutes. off target in the 53rd minute. hungary forward barnabas varga then needed medical treatment after he suffered an injury, defending a free kick. he was moved onto a stretcher and taken to hospital in a stable condition. as play resumed, scotland substitute stuart armstrong was sent tumbling by orban, but no penalty was given. the urgency and
2:47 am
desperation of both sides saw the game open up. desperation of both kevin sorbot could have been forgiven for thinking he'd wasted the last chance, but with ten minutes added on, it wasn't to be the final opportunity. scotland's grant hanley came close. dreams were fading and they were extinguished for scotland in the 100th minute of the game, with sorbot snatching victory for hungary. they must wait to find out if the three points will be enough to see them through as one of the best third placed teams. defeat signalled a 12 group stage exit for scotland at their 12th major tournament. in frankfurt, germany, were looking to maintain their impressive stats as the host nation victories against scotland and hungary meant germany were already sure of progression. but after having a goal disallowed, they fell behind to a superbly taken goal by switzerland's dan andoy. joy for the swiss support with their team at this stage on course for not only qualification but to win group a as well. from there, switzerland held firm as chances came and went for germany
2:48 am
until nicklas vorkrug's stoppage time header rescued a point, setting them on course for a possible last 16 tie against england. adam cottier, bbc news. so a dramatic night — so here is how group a has finished germany go through — as group winners. they're joined in the last 16 by switzerland. hungary will hope their win with take them through as one of the four best third placed finishers — scotland's miserable record of never reaching the knockout stages of a major tournament continues. here's their manager steve clarke. understand, it's a cruel game. you have to suffer. and we suffer with the tartan army. we suffer with the people back home in scotland. we all suffer. we all suffer the same. but then you have to lick your wounds. you have to refresh yourself. and you have to go again. because it can't be 26 years before we go to another major tournament overseas. and that's got to be the next ambition.
2:49 am
as for hungary — after losing theirfirst two games, that win in stuttgart gives them renewed hope that they can scrape into the knockout stages. it was obviously going to be nervous. both sides, everything is on the line for the whole countries. we had a lot more attempts on goal. i thought they had a bit more possession but in areas where it didn't affect us. um, and yeah, we, ithink after trying for so many times it has to come our way. and it did in the final minutes. the defending champions england made very light of the usa as they became the first side to reach the t20 world cup semi—finals. chrisjordan took four wickets in a single over, that included a hattrick and the captainjos buttler led from the front with the bat in barbados. jo currie reports. when england lost on this ground two weeks ago, their world cup hung by a thread. now, a big win would
2:50 am
give them a real chance of making the semis. on a pitch that favoured the batters, england opted to bowl with an instant breakthrough. the usa found their range. how's that? gorgeous stroke down the ground. not bad, actually. if chrisjordan looks at home, it's because he was born in barbados. another wicket tumbles. and what a homecoming this was. all gone. hat trick for jordan. a hat trick of wickets that saw the usa all out for 115. jos buttler wanted the job done quickly and left his mark on the stadium. the man was on a mission. this six brought up his 50. a perfect innings. it's buttler that hits the winning and a result that sees england safely through to the last four. jo currie, bbc news. a superb performance from
2:51 am
england — and a day to remember for barbados—born chris jordan. i thought the team performance was really solid today, really set the tone in the powerplay, we knew they would come hard, play some good shots. but we controlled things in the middle, set up things nicely for us at the back, were able to reap the rewards. to get the hat—trick, obviously well documented, a place i was born, played a much cricket, in front of my family and friends, the atmosphere, the music going and everything. yes, it was special. with wimbledon starting a week tomorrow, the new world number tomorrow, the new world number one jannik sinner has won his first title since going to the top of the rankings. he's the new halle 0pen champion — he beat hubert hurkacz in a close final. he won in straight sets but both went to a tie—break — sinner winning his 14th atp tour title. it means a lot.
2:52 am
it was a tough match, i knew i had to serve really well and you know your plate, all a couple of really important points throughout the whole set so i was happy and i tried to produce in the best possible way and important moments, so i'm very happy about this tournament because, you know, the first time on grass court winning, it's a good feeling. another prestigious pre—wimbledon touranment is at the queen's club in london the american tommy paul is the new champion there. he beat the italian lorenzo musetti in straight sets. 0n the women's tour, kazakhstan�*s yulia putintseva has won her first grass court title — beating ajla tomljanovic in straight sets in the final of the birmingham classic. while in berlin, jessica pegula knocked out top seed coco gauff in a rain—affected semi final — before returning to court to beat anna kalinskaya in three sets to win the title.

scottie scheffler is having a remarkiable year — with six pga tour title — all of which have with six pga tour titles — all of which have come since march. it wasn't straightforward at the travellers championship in connecticut though. a group of protesters ran on to the 18th green as the final group were ready to putt when play resumed, scheffler narrowly missed a birdie putt that would have clinched victory, that meant a a play—off against south korea's tom kim after they both finished on 22 under par — but scheffler came through, winning on the first play—off hole. a play—off win too for italy's guido migliozzi at the klm open in amsterdam. he needed the second extra hole to get past england'sjoe dean and sweden's marcus kinhult after the trio had finished tied on 11 under par. and in formula one, max verstappen has won the spanish grand prix for the third year in a row, his seventh victory in ten races this season. starting from second
2:54 am
on the grid at circuit de catlunya, verstappen had taken the lead by the third lap overtaking geroge russell — lando norris, who started on pole, would go on to finish second with fellow brit lewis hamilton third. i think what made the race was the beginning, i took the lead on lap 2 and that's where i had my buffer then. in that first where i could eke out a gap a little bit because after that we had to drive a defensive race. lando and mclaren were very quick today, especially on deck. it seems like the last few laps of this were very very fast, but i think we did everything well. we drove an aggressive strategy but luckily it paid out to the end, it was quite close to the end but very happy to win here. just a reminder of our top story — those late goals in group a at the european championship in germany, the hosts scoring a stoppage time equaliser to draw 1—1 against switzerland, to top the group and progress to the last 16. the swiss going through as well whilst hungary scored in the 100th minute to beat

2:56 am
a little bit fresher — the north and west will see the best of the morning sunshine. more cloud into north and west scotland through the day. some low cloud around the coasts. and this here's the remnants of that old weather front. it caused a lot of cloud in the afternoon yesterday for parts of wales and the south—west especially. it's more across the midlands and drifting into parts of south and east yorkshire later. not going to have a massive impact on temperatures, widely in the mid 20s for many — scotland 26, northern ireland at 211—25 celsius, experiencing their hottest day of the week. now, as we go into monday night, we'll see thicker cloud bring a bit more in the way of patchy light rain and drizzle to scotland and the west of northern ireland. some low cloud drifting northwards into northern england, but notice where that cloud is in place. temperatures not dropping much lower than around 15—17 celsius. now, as we go into tuesday, we've got that weather front which brings rain at the end of the day in western scotland, pushes a bit further southwards, combines with the old weather front which is sitting
2:57 am
here across northern england to produce a bit more cloud for scotland, northern ireland, northern england on tuesday — the chance of a few showers breaking out later in the day. scotland, northern ireland, still warm where early sunshine gets through, but nowhere near as warm as monday. the heat continues to build further south and east, up to around 28 celsius in the london area by this stage. now, as you go through tuesday night into wednesday, that first weather front starts to push away, but still remnants of it across the northern half of the country, producing one or two showers, more especially across scotland. but away from that, some sunny spells across england and wales and the heat could build even further — could get to 28, 29 celsius by the time we hit the middle part of the week. some showers and heavy downpours in northern ireland later, and that's ahead of this area of low pressure between us and iceland, which will drive a cold front eastwards, sweeping away the humid air gradually as we go through thursday and into friday and introducing fresher conditions. but temperatures back closer to normal as we head towards the weekend and a few more showers around as well. take care.
