no break there. a shot from declan rice flashed wide as england searched desperately for a goal. but it was all to no avail, as slovenia held on for a goalless draw. delight for them but for england another disappointing display and another difficult night. they might be through to the last 16, but they know they'll need to find some form there and fast. andy swiss, bbc news well you saw the likes of john stones and jordan pickford applauding the fans there. some booed them. plastic cups were also thrown onto the pitch. the england manager gareth southgate says he's happy to take supporters�* stick instead of the players. i understand it. i'm not going to back away from it. the most important thing here is that the supporters stay with the team.

i understand the sort of narrative towards me and, you know, that's better for the team than it being towards them. but it is creating an unusual environment to operate in. i've not seen any other team qualify and receive similar. so this is what it all means for group c. denmark serbia was also a drab 0—0 draw so denmark and slovenia join england in the last—16. denmark and slovenia played three andrew three, and slovenia have not ever actually won a game at the wrist. denmark finish ahead of slovenia by virtue of a better head to head record in qualifying. slovenia have never actually won a match at the euros either! england one win, two draws, two goals. and in a week where their comments have caught as much

attention as the players�*, just what did the pundits make of this latest display? i think, you know, for me, a number of players stood out forward and in particular played really well. foden in particular played really well. but it's again, building those relationships and feeling like you've got freedom to go and express yourself. i feel like for the last couple of games, you know, they're holding back a little bit. it feels like, you know, a lot of pressure on their backs. but we want them to express themselves and have fun and we want them to be the best version of themselves of this england team. that's what fans want. so hopefully, you know, this was a much improved performance from the last game against denmark, and hopefully we'll see it again in the last 16. joe, i suppose from the outside we're looking in and saying he's not figured it out yet. the best team, those relationships that you're asking about, ellen, so how would that make you feel as a player in that situation? look, they'll be aware of it. there's no getting away from it. - i think the reaction has not been great to the first two| games, but i really got.

i really got the impression that they believe that this - was going to be a performance tonight. and it wasn't, it wasn't, especially the first half. i but, you know, we're saying we're looking for a bit- of personality and people looking for it. _ i did feel like the second half that a few people were just l like, you know what, give me the ball. - i'm going to make it happen. they didn't, they didn't make it, happen, - which is the key thing. but at least people were saying, you know what, we've got nothing to lose here. we're a good team. but at least people - were saying, you know what, we've got nothing to lose here. we're a good team. this team is sitting in and i'm going to try and hurt them. . so you've heard from the manager. you've heard from the ex—players. but what did the fans make of it? it's all the build up and we build up and pass back like there's so many options and we don't we don't take it more. it is that gareth southgate it's been worked out. everyone knows how to play it. go backwards all the time. let's go forward. let's attack. i've watched all- of our games so far. they're all the same. none of them are exciting. i don't know.

i'll get more enjoyment watching other teams. i i don't think we deserve to go through of that, to be honest. but we'll see. we'll see. things could change if he makes changes. we could do better. qe cannot do that again. we cannot do that again. from group c to group d and how many of you had austria coming out on top ahead of france, netherlands and poland? well, that's what has happened following a 3—2 win over the dutch. having led at half time, austria were pegged back when cody gakpo produced a smart finish two minutes after the interval. romano schmid here responded just before the hour mark, only for memphis depay to then equalise for the dutch for a second time. marcel sabitzer was austria's hero. netherlands are through as one of the best third placed teams. france finished second in their group after a 1—1 draw with poland. kylian mbappe — wearing a mask for his injured nose — opening the scoring from the penalty spot. robert lewandowski saw a penalty saved but it was retaken and he made no mistake second time around but ultimately poland will be heading home early.

the second group phase at the men's t20 world cup is already decided and what are story this is. afghanistan all—rounder rashid khan says it's an unbelievable feeling to reach the semi—finals for the first time in their history by beating bangladesh, and in doing so knocking out the 2021 champions australia. our sports correspondentjoe wilson has the story. on a rainy night in st vincent, afghanistan's men reached a new level. they might be surprised, if we're still surprised. they keep finding, producing such talented players like fazal haque farooqi, the leading wicket taker in this tournament. naveen ul haq is close behind. he took four wickets as bangladesh chased a rain—adjusted total. rashid khan is a global bowling superstar. afghanistan's captain and still only 25.

bangladesh were all out nine runs short of their victory target. a nervy, stirring, inspiring win. yeah, i think the cricket we have played in the whole tournament so far, i think like we have, we deserve to be in the semis and the way everyone took the responsibility of getting into the game and performing best for the team. so i don't know how i can describe my feeling, but it's a massive achievement for us as a team and as a nation. here's the reaction in afghanistan, the eastern city of khost. the national team is based in the uae, but the significance is felt here inside afghanistan. this man described hisjoy that for the first time, afghanistan have reached the world cup semi—finals after beating bangladesh. "we are very proud," he says. "the cricket gave afghans a great deal of happiness. a great deal of happiness". well, that's clear. but do you see any women here? when the taliban returned to power, afg hanistan's women's cricketers fled for their lives.

cricket allows the men's team to achieve all this. the absence of women's cricket in afghanistan is a clear breach of the sport's own rules. progress, even this progress, comes in that context. joe wilson, bbc news. rugby union next, and england head to new zealand this week, and arguably 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 ofjuly and in auckland a week later. if we are just in awe of what the all blacks are and we're not going to be in the right headspace to go out there and beat them, and that is our intention to go over there and beat the all blacks in new zealand. and yeah, we're excited about going over there and try and do that. we've just got so much respect for what they do. at the same time, we can't sit back and pay too much respect to that. we've got to go over there and make sure, like you say, that we assert

ourselves in the way that we want to. and if you want more sports news, why not head over to the bbc sport website or the bbc sports app? but until next time, thanks for watching. let's take a brief look now at the weather for the week ahead. so it was a very warm and humid start to the week right across the uk. scotland and northern ireland saw the warmest days of the year so far on monday. in fact, it got to 27 celsius in parts of aberdeenshire. but compare that to tuesday afternoon's temperatures within the same areas, just 1213 degrees celsius again just 12, 13 degrees celsius again for eastern scotland. so quite the drop there. and that cooling trend will continue from the north and the west as we head through the next couple of days. i'll say some showers around at times. the heat and humidity

last longest across england and wales. but again, that will be gone by the time we get to the end of the day on thursday. and you can just see this cool of feeling air on wednesday out for northern ireland and into northwest scotland, shown in the lighter colours that's going to drift its way further southwards and eastwards. it's quite a muggy, warm start though on wednesday morning. for most of us we'll have seen plenty of low cloud rolling to north sea facing coast that's rolling back towards the coast as we head through the afternoon. so burning back, sunshine and showers for scotland. a fine day for most in northern ireland clouding over later. of course, we keep the heat, the humidity, the sunshine across much of england and wales. temperatures in the mid to the high 20s, locally, perhaps 30 degrees. but here's our cold frontjust trailing down from this area of low pressure that's going to bring the fresher feeling airfor all. and that will be pushing further eastwards as we head through thursday. rather windy conditions for much of the day across the far north west of scotland and across northern ireland. some showers here elsewhere, largely dry with some sunshine and it'll probably take most of the day for that cooler feeling.

air to filter into southeast england and east anglia say temperatures here probably still in the mid 20s at least. but that cold front pushes further eastwards to the near continent. low pressure remains across the far north of the uk. so across northern areas of scotland, we're likely to see some further outbreaks of rain as we head through friday. a much fresher feel to things of course, through the morning, a few showers at times, mostly out towards the north and the west. but further south i think it is looking largely dry. there'll still be some sunshine around as well and of course it is still warm in the sunshine at this time of year. so it'll help to lift the temperature somewhat. but generally, the high teens at the low 20s and celsius much closer now to the seasonal average into the weekend. and not a lot is set to change. but these weather fronts could just start to grace central areas of the uk, bringing some outbreaks of rain perhaps across northern ireland, northern wales and into northern england for a time. to the north of that front, then we're likely to see a few showers, but some sunny spells to the south, it's probably looking mostly dry.

and again, sunshine will help to boost the temperatures somewhat. the low 20s, i think for many towards the south and cooler further north. and it's the same sort of thing again on sunday, really low pressure still towards the north. so some showers here, but largely dry further south. and of course, there will be some sunny spells around as well. generally, temperatures between 16 and 23 degrees celsius north to south. let's take a look at the following week then. we've still got these westerly winds. so the air is not going to be particularly warm. it's still rather unsettled, too, with areas of low pressure moving in from the north and the west. so tend to be wetter in the north west and a little drier towards the south and the east. we could see perhaps southern areas see a lot of dry weather as we head through the week. there will be some sunshine around at times, but always watch out for some showers. temperatures, of course, much lower than they were to start the week. bye for now.
