from their group with a better performance? we know internally where we are at. anything external really should not affect us. the man in the mask. look he was back for france. kylian mbappe breaks the deadlock with poland. also coming up on sportsday — afghanistan into the semifinals at the t20 world cup semifinals and that means australia out. and raducannu with a morale boosting win at the eastbourne international. good evening.

will come along. we are 90 minutes away from kick—off in cologne. england preparing for theirfinal group game in the european championship, which is against slovenia. in many ways, it's alreadyjob done after results elsewhere last night confirmed that england are through to the last 16 no matter what happens in tonight's game. but they look a long way off that pre—tournament tag as favourites. that has dominated the post—match analysis in germany, especially after their draw against denmark last time out. our correspondent nesta mcgregor is pitchside. good evening to you. pressure should be all because of qualification already with the game to spare but this is the game to spare and with a not love to take a really good performance into the knockout stages and who ever waits for them there? yeah, you would imagine but before this tournament, people that know the game better than you and i used

the game better than you and i used the phrase tournament football is all about results and not performances. if you look at it in the whole, england top the group and are unbeaten. the? the whole, england top the group and are unbeaten-— are unbeaten. they have only conceded _ are unbeaten. they have only conceded one _ are unbeaten. they have only conceded one goal— are unbeaten. they have only conceded one goal and - are unbeaten. they have only conceded one goal and that l are unbeaten. they have only - conceded one goal and that would be if you _ conceded one goal and that would be if you are _ conceded one goal and that would be if you are a _ conceded one goal and that would be if you are a glass— conceded one goal and that would be if you are a glass half— conceded one goal and that would be if you are a glass half full— conceded one goal and that would be if you are a glass half full type - if you are a glass half full type of luy if you are a glass half full type of guy but _ if you are a glass half full type of guy but the — if you are a glass half full type of guy but the opposite _ if you are a glass half full type of guy but the opposite perhaps - if you are a glass half full type of . guy but the opposite perhaps could be said _ guy but the opposite perhaps could be said if_ guy but the opposite perhaps could be said if you — guy but the opposite perhaps could be said if you are _ guy but the opposite perhaps could be said if you are the _ guy but the opposite perhaps could be said if you are the opposite. - be said if you are the opposite. they— be said if you are the opposite. they have _ be said if you are the opposite. they have four— be said if you are the opposite. they have four points - be said if you are the opposite. they have four points from - be said if you are the opposite. they have four points from two be said if you are the opposite. - they have four points from two games they should _ they have four points from two games they should have — they have four points from two games they should have one _ they have four points from two games they should have one but _ they have four points from two games they should have one but as _ they have four points from two games they should have one but as you - they should have one but as you mentioned — they should have one but as you mentioned they— they should have one but as you mentioned they have _ they should have one but as you mentioned they have been - they should have one but as you i mentioned they have been below they should have one but as you - mentioned they have been below par so far— mentioned they have been below par so far people — mentioned they have been below par so far people have _ mentioned they have been below par so far people have been _ mentioned they have been below par so far people have been outspoken l so far people have been outspoken and they— so far people have been outspoken and they have _ so far people have been outspoken and they have a _ so far people have been outspoken and they have a sense _ so far people have been outspoken and they have a sense of. - so far people have been outspoken and they have a sense of.— and they have a sense of. some thins and they have a sense of. some things that _ and they have a sense of. some things that have _ and they have a sense of. some things that have gone _ and they have a sense of. some things that have gone wrong - and they have a sense of. some things that have gone wrong so| and they have a sense of. some - things that have gone wrong so far, it's rick alexander—arnold in midfield, we have not seen that stats say he has had a good tournament so far but some fans say perhaps it is not have the runners to go with it. captain harry kane has scored a goal but lost people think is he dropping to deet and getting in the way of building m and foden? in terms of phil foden come up foden? in terms of phil foden come up or of the year, he is looked average. but to see again, england top of the group and through to the

last 60 with their fate in their own hands. asa as a player, manager in a coach, i've had — as a player, manager in a coach, i've had 30 — as a player, manager in a coach, i've had 30 two many years in football so i seen in heard pretty much _ football so i seen in heard pretty much everything. being with england for the _ much everything. being with england for the best part of 20 years as a player— for the best part of 20 years as a player and — for the best part of 20 years as a player and head coach. i think you are atways — player and head coach. i think you are always giving context to the players — are always giving context to the players because myjob as leader is to keep _ players because myjob as leader is to keep everybody in our camp on track _ to keep everybody in our camp on track this — to keep everybody in our camp on track this is _ to keep everybody in our camp on track. this is where we are at, this is the _ track. this is where we are at, this is the reality— track. this is where we are at, this is the reality of where we are at. we sit _ is the reality of where we are at. we sit on — is the reality of where we are at. we sit on a — is the reality of where we are at. we sit on a numerical four points and are _ we sit on a numerical four points and are on— we sit on a numerical four points and are on top of the group and i'll be happy— and are on top of the group and i'll be happy with how we apply to this point? _ be happy with how we apply to this point? know, because we can be better— point? know, because we can be better than we have been. anything externai— better than we have been. anything external should not really affect us. external should not really affect us the — external should not really affect us. the important voices are in our training _ us. the important voices are in our training camp, they are in our dressing— training camp, they are in our dressing room. when in the things that need — dressing room. when in the things that need to be better. we have been very clear— that need to be better. we have been very clear on — that need to be better. we have been very clear on that. and we just have to work— very clear on that. and we just have to work at— very clear on that. and we just have to work at those things. there is a

footballer, criticism is part of the job, an occupational hazard. we have been here before. last time the england's men won a major trip he was a 1966 and they have produced generation and generation of talented players who have yet to produce a trophy to show for it. so i guess it sent to the patient, the pressure that seems to build it certainly comes to head in every major tournament. certainly comes to head in every majortournament. i certainly comes to head in every major tournament. i think going back to harry kane and what you said is who said those comments. former captains, alan shearer and gary lineker. harry kane singh this is a time where the nation needs to come together when we have not played particularly well and the men who have worn the ship before with the media looking into saying certain things with about a look affects players like eric came in the more experienced players what he did point to some of the other players whose paths had not been to this before. the speaking last night, alan shearer and gary lineker did

double damp on those comments. what happens in these press conferences sometimes is journalists use pundits— conferences sometimes is journalists use pundits or even myself on this particular— use pundits or even myself on this particular occasion to try make a point _ particular occasion to try make a point because perhaps they are not quite _ point because perhaps they are not quite brave enough to make it themselves so they use us. i everyone _ themselves so they use us. i everyone is in pretty critical of the england performance, alan, and they had _ the england performance, alan, and they had not been at their best when they had not been at their best when they have _ they had not been at their best when they have gone through which is something we have always said all the time, — something we have always said all the time, not that bad, not disastrous but the team has been betow— disastrous but the team has been below par — disastrous but the team has been below par. and we have been in the situations— below par. and we have been in the situations ourselves before, alan. | situations ourselves before, alan. i think situations ourselves before, alan. think the situations ourselves before, alan. i think the england players and england — think the england players and england staff— think the england players and england staff will— think the england players and england staff will be - think the england players and england staff will be the - england staff will be the approximate _ england staff will be the approximate they - england staff will be the approximate they have i england staff will be the . approximate they have not england staff will be the - approximate they have not played well other— approximate they have not played well other than _ approximate they have not played well other than the _ approximate they have not played well other than the first _ approximate they have not played well other than the first 25- approximate they have not played. well other than the first 25 minutes of the _ well other than the first 25 minutes of the first— well other than the first 25 minutes of the first game. _ well other than the first 25 minutes of the first game. in— well other than the first 25 minutes of the first game. in fact _ well other than the first 25 minutes of the first game. in fact in - of the first game. in fact in the last game _ of the first game. in fact in the last game against _ of the first game. in fact in the last game against denmark, i of the first game. in fact in the . last game against denmark, they of the first game. in fact in the - last game against denmark, they were really poor— last game against denmark, they were really poor they — last game against denmark, they were really poor they did _ last game against denmark, they were really poor they did not _ last game against denmark, they were really poor they did not look— last game against denmark, they were really poor they did not look as - really poor they did not look as if they had — really poor they did not look as if they had any— really poor they did not look as if they had any energy _ really poor they did not look as if they had any energy and - really poor they did not look as if they had any energy and they. they had any energy and they could not press — they had any energy and they could not press. they— they had any energy and they could not press. they did _ they had any energy and they could not press. they did not— they had any energy and they could not press. they did not create - they had any energy and they could not press. they did not create any. not press. they did not create any chances _ not press. they did not create any chances and — not press. they did not create any chances and they— not press. they did not create any chances and they were _ not press. they did not create any chances and they were under - not press. they did not create any- chances and they were under pressure and they— chances and they were under pressure and they were — chances and they were under pressure and they were sick _ chances and they were under pressure and they were sick at _ chances and they were under pressure and they were sick at best _ chances and they were under pressure and they were sick at best most - and they were sick at best most of the game — and they were sick at best most of the game so— and they were sick at best most of the game so we— and they were sick at best most of the game. so we are _ and they were sick at best most of

that in the group, then they face germany. so gareth southgate has a lot to deal with. being in charge of england for eight years now and it's it off and meant it would all this is where his experience will comment most of all though if there are a few changes to the team, perhaps people have been calling for for a long time, and england produced were from his people know they are capable of the question will then be what it would not start like this and southgate again maybe bowing to pressure. we will wait and see but one thing is for sure, so many pose a test the england should pass easily but all the players behind me know that they are through to the knockout stages and tougher tests are sure to come. litre knockout stages and tougher tests are sure to come.— knockout stages and tougher tests are sure to come. live from cologne ahead of kick-off _ are sure to come. live from cologne ahead of kick-off between _ are sure to come. live from cologne ahead of kick-off between england | ahead of kick—off between england and slovenia in the final group game, many thanks indeed. we will hopefully have that england team—mates before the end of the programme. we are approaching full—time in the final group d games. these were 5pm kick—offs. like england, netherlands and france are already through to the last 16 with four points.

the dutch started badly against austria, who went in front through donyell malen's own goal. malen had onlyjust been brought into the team. but the netherlands had the ideal start to the second half when cody gakpo equalised, and they currently top the group on goals scored. another twist with a header and now austria back in front and heading back to the top of the group. in the last few minutes, it's gone crazy with the dutch levelling again, through memphis depay. but austria had just gone in front again, 3—2 to the austrians. the french are in dortmund playing poland, who can only only finish bottom of the group. the french won a penalty in kylian mbappe back in the team because he broke his nose in the first match with the mascot and put them in front from the spot. poland had just levelled from the penalty spot,

robert lewandowski in the last couple of minutes. poland already out though. time for you to concentrate, because england could play one of those sides in group d if they finish top of their group later tonight. they currently lead the way. let's look at some of the permutations. this is how they can finish top. this is the simple bit — beat slovenia and they'd be on seven points and stay top. they also will finish first with a draw if denmark don't beat serbia in the other game tonight. that would mean that they'd face one of the third—placed teams from groups d, e or f. austria, slovakia and the czech republic at the start of the day. it could change in group d as austria are out of third and netherlands are there in the moment but that is at the start of play. which one they face is really complicated. we won't find out if it goes that

way if the close of play tomorrow. if england draw and denmark win by two clear goals, or if england lose and denmark fail to beat serbia, then slovenia would go top. england would finish second and face germany. they don't want that. that's one to avoid. and finally, if england lose and denmark win, then gareth southgate's side will finish third behind denmark and slovenia and will meet either portugal or the winner of group e, where all four teams are currently level on three points. belgium are probably the side they'd want to avoid. i will be asking questions on this later. one other football story to bring you — england goalkeeper mary earps is set to leave manchester united and sign for french club paris saint—germain on a free transfer. earps starred for england when they lifted the trophy at euro 2022. she'd been negotiating a potential contract extension with united, but is understood to have decided to join psg. manchester united failed to qualify

for next season's champions league afterfinishing fifth in the women's super league, 20 points behind champions chelsea. that's one of the reasons why she is leaving. up—to—date with all the football and we will return to the euros later in the programme. the cricket was much easier at the t20 world cup. afghanistan are the last side through to the semifinals. they beat bangladesh by eight runs in their rain—affected super 8s match in st vincent to reach the last four for the first time, and the result also means australia are out. here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson. 0na rainy on a rainy night in st. vincent, afghanistan reached a new level. they might be surprised if we are still surprised. they keep finding, producing such talented players, like the leading wicket taker in this tournament. this man is close

behind him and taking four wickets as bangladesh chased a rain adjusted total. a global bowling superstar here. the afghan captain and still only 25. bangladesh all out nine runs short of their victory target, a nervy, stirring, inspiring win. i a nervy, stirring, inspiring win. i think the teams we have played in the whole tournament so far, we deserve to be in the semifinals. everyone took that responsibility of getting into the game and performing the best for the team. so i don't know how to describe my feelings, but it's a massive achievement for us as a team and a nation. here but it's a massive achievement for us as a team and a nation.- but it's a massive achievement for us as a team and a nation. here is a reaction in afghanistan. _ us as a team and a nation. here is a reaction in afghanistan. the - us as a team and a nation. here is aj reaction in afghanistan. the eastern city here with the national team based in the united arab emirates but significance is felt here. translation: this man described his ioy translation: this man described his joy of the first time they reached the semifinals after beating bangladesh. we are very proud of, he

said, as cricket gave us a great deal of happiness. that's clear but do you see any women here? with the taliban return to power, the women positive in flint for their lives. the absence of women possibly get in afghanistan is a clear breach of the sport bus my own rules. progress, even this progress, comes in that context. joe wilson, bbc news. so these are the semifinals coming up this week at the t20 world cup. afghanistan will face south africa. it's under the floodlights in trinidad tomorrow evening, the early hours of thursday for us. they have a reserve day if it's rained off, but there is no reserve day for england and india in guyana on thursday, because they can't squeeze it in before saturday's final in barbados. pretty controversial. but thunderstorms are forecast. under icc regulations,

if that's abandoned, india would qualify becasue they finished top of their super 8s group. there had been a few note results, four so far. let's just hope for sunshine. let's have a quick look at some of day's other stories. thierry henry is one of the names being considered to succeed rob page as wales manager. the former arsenal and france striker is in charge of the french under—21s and will also coach their team at the olympics. page was sacked last week after 3.5 years in charge. the olympic champion athing mu won't be able to defend her 800—metres title after falling at the us trials and finishing last. only the top three qualify for paris. great britain's keely hodgkinson claimed silver behind the american at the last games in tokyo. next year's rugby league challenge cup will see the 12 super league clubs joining at the third—round

stage, where previously they entered at the sixth round. the matches will be drawn injanuary and played in february, with super league sides obliged to play away at lower—division teams. category one tickets for the women's rugby world cup final at twickenham next september will be priced at £95. that will be the highest value non—hospitality ticket for an international women's team sport event in the uk. 60% of the tickets for the tournament are priced at under £25. staying with rugby union, england head to new zealand this week and the toughest challenge in world rugby. they have never won a series against the all blacks in new zealand, and it's been over 20 years since they won a test there. they play in dunedin on the 6th of july and in auckland a week later. if we arejust in if we are just in awe of what the all blacks are, that we are not going to be in the right headspace

well, yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far across england, scotland and northern ireland. it could be even hotter still today across parts of england, perhaps, but we're tracking some changes over the next few days, it will be turning coolerfrom the north and the west. some showers tied in with this weather front at times, but remaining hot and humid until thursday for much of england and wales. now, this is this afternoon and here is that cooler, fresher feeling for the north and the west. it could brighten up some time with some sunshine, i think towards the end of the day for north west scotland, northern ireland. showers for eastern scotland down through northern england, cloudier here. but this is where we're seeing all of that strong june sunshine develop yet again. it's warm, it's humid. locally, we could see highs of 29 or 30 degrees celsius. sea breezes offering some coastal refreshment, but pollen levels today, again, very high for many, tied in with all of that sunshine and grass pollen season of course, already underway. so overnight tonight, some areas of cloud, still a few spits and spots of rain, more cloud moving in to north sea facing coast. now, here is that fresher feeling air out towards the north and the west. almost chilly here, but elsewhere it's muggy.

it's humid, possibly uncomfortable for sleeping yet again. and into wednesday, we've got plenty of cloud out towards these north sea facing coast. some sunshine and showers for scotland. quite a decent day of weather across northern ireland, but clouding over later. it's still very warm for much of england and wales, here should stay dry. any low cloud will lift and once more we could get to the high 20s for many, even 30 degrees celsius once again. and then our deep area of low pressure that's bringing about the change with that cold front sweeps its way eastwards into thursday, replacing all of that hot and humid air with something a lot cooler. some windy conditions, too, out towards the north and the west. so wet, windy across northern ireland for a time, showery outbreaks of rain just pushing into parts of northwest scotland, eventually easing their way further eastwards. it should stay largely dry for much of england and wales. a few showers around at times, fresher feeling conditions across the south east of england and east anglia by the time we get to the end of the day. so let's just take a look at the outlook for our capital cities.

temperatures much closer to the seasonal average through the weekend. still warm in the best of the sunshine. bye— bye.
