adil rashid hit. india's other batters with a full rangeof techniques, kept the big shots coming. it all added up to 171, which felt pretty good. clear skies for england's chase. confused intentions from jos buttler. well, he didn't mean to hit it there. caught and gone for 23. phil salt faced jasprit bumrah whose face says it all don't look now. harry brook 68—6. the last wickets fell in a humbling tumble of run outs. it was india's game long before the final lbw. england lost by 68 runs, in truth outclassed. india to the final, where in truth they always imagined they'd be. joe wilson, bbc news. let's get some reaction from guyana now. axar patel was man of the match with three top order wickets, including the england captainjos buttler who says that in hindsight it might have been a mistake

not to change the team going into the semifinal but gave full credit to a india. disappointing. um, i think we're outplayed by india and they fully deserved the victory. um, so yeah, i thought, you know, they had a above par score, was hoping to restrict them to sort of 145, 150 probably on that pitch. so, um, it was always going to be a tough chase from there. obviously feeling good. and most of the, uh, i'm feeling good about that. uh, we win the match when you perform and if team doesn't do well, then it doesn't matter. so i think, uh, feeling good. we close to the one step and, uh, close to the trophy, so. yeah. feeling good. wimbledon starts on monday, some of the top stars are playing at the eastbourne international in preparation, three british players reached the quarterfinals in the women's draw, the first time that had happened in over 45 years , but they are all out the british number one katie boulter lost to french open

finallist jasmine paolini in straight sets. boulter really struggled with the blustery conditions, she lost the first set 6—1 and the second on a very one—sided tie break. harriet dart lost to another grand slam finallist. she won only three games against leylah fernandez, the canadian who lost to emma raducanu in the 2021 us open final she'd beaten sloane stephens and jessica pegula this week, but was no match for the world number 1a daria kasatkina. 6—2 6—2, the score andy murray going to leave it as late as possible before making a decision about playing at wimbledon next week. the two—time champion had a back operation only six days ago. he could just play doubles with his brother in what will be his final appearance at the all england club. here's our tennis correspondent russell fuller andy murray has said that he had a pretty decent

sized cyst on his spinal cord, and the advice was very much that it needed to be operated on, or it could cause complications further down the line. initially, when speaking to consultants, he thought the timeline for recovery could be between six weeks and 12 weeks. but he has had differing advice. he's also been warned that by trying to play at wimbledon, there is a risk associated with that, but he's not closing the door. singles seems less likely. again, he's not saying he definitely can't play, but he'd need to play a first match on either monday or tuesday. he may well make the decision finally on the eve of that first match, but doubles is perhaps a little bit more likely. he's due to play with his brotherjamie and the first round of the doubles. and remember, that is over three sets rather than over five sets these days would perhaps take place on wednesday, thursday, even friday. so there is hope for andy murray, who is determined to try and end his career on the tennis court. he does not want those 23 minutes at queens to be people's final memory of him as a tennis player, and he said if he can't play wimbledon

or he can't play the olympics, then he's not ruling out playing one final tournament somewhere else. there are a couple of rest days at the european championship before the round of 16 starts on saturday. england have to wait until sunday for their game against slovakia in gelsenkirchen. 23 of the 26 players have trained, declan rice and kieran tripper are being put through individual programmes away from the squad. phil foden is back from the uk after a brief break to be with his partnerfor the birth of their third child. we heard from forward eberechi eze, who has backed the manager gareth southgate after all the negativity directed at him and the squad folloing some under—par performances in the group. think it's a testament to his character, the type of person that he is, that his main focus is what can he do to get the best out of everyone, and that's what he's trying to do. you can see it. and just what you're saying there, that's key for players, key for the dressing room and knowing that you've got the full support.

and ifeel like, of course you don't, you don't wish for that type of situation where you've got, um, a bit of negativity around. but again, it is football. people have got opinions and stuff like that, so it's understandable. but as we said, the main focus is what we've got, what we believe in. and again, the fact that we've got everyone in the dressing room supporting each other, that's the main focus. the 111th edition of the tour de france begins on saturday. the first stage, the grand depart is actually in florence. two—time winner tadej pogacar won the giro d'italia last month he's the favourite but he has just recovered from a bout of covid i got, uh, i got sick, i got covid, and, uh, i was, uh, that was a bit, uh, like, uh, question mark, you know, but, uh, iwas, uh. yeah. recovered really, really good from, uh, from that and uh, was not, uh, too much, uh, in the end was not

too much challenging. so i think, uh, went more or less pretty smooth. the preparations. so the race starts in florence, with the first three stages taking place in italy and the fourth crossing over into france for the rest of the tour. it's a hilly start, with over 3,500 metres of climbs , one of the toughest opening days there's been, and the roads will be packed with cycling fans. i actually live in florence and i've been waiting for this day since they announced that the grand depart was taking place, so i'm just excited to see all the excitement, the the festivities, the peloton, everyone in theirjerseys, the cyclists, all that. i'm just excited for the whole atmosphere. we're going to catch the first race and then we're going to go chase them to rimini and go see the second race as well. so we're just super excited. we are huge tour de france fans. we've gone to several stages, but we're in italy now, so it's exciting. the tour finishes in paris less than a week before the olympics starts with the paralympics to follow.

there'll be no sport climbing at the paras this year, but it's been confirmed for the programme in los angeles in 2028. leading para climber james rudge says it's a huge boost for his sport. it feels so good. this is obviously something we've been working towards for a long time. um, and the decision was kind of put back a few times. it wasn't looking like it was definitely going to happen for la, but the fact that it has is absolutely incredible. and it's massive for the progression of notjust para climbing, but i think climbing in general, because really kind of, um, helps us keep preaching that message that climbing is for everyone. there's another formula one weekend coming up, it's the austrian grand prix. the world champion max verstappen, who leads the drivers standing by 69 points, says he committed to staying with the team, even though there has been plenty of speculation about his future with other teams becoming more competitive. at the moment, of course, it's

very tight, but we are working very well as a team, you know, to, uh, you know, to try and improve more and, uh, for sure, i said this already with the team, you know, we are working and focusing also on next year, you know, to try and be competitive again. finally, to the us and an incredible reaction catch in major league baseball, where dodgers superstar shohei ohtani had a lucky escape at the chicago white sox. in the top of the third inning, kike hernandez hit a foul ball directly into the dodgers�* dug—out. luckily, bat—boyjavier herrera pouched the catch as it hurtled towrds ohtani behind him, saving the dodgers $700 million dollar from possible harm . bat—boys get ten to 15 dollars an hour finally, just staying in the us, 19—year—old bronny james has been selected by the los angeles lakers in the second round of the nba draft, so lebron, one of the greats of the game, could finally see his dream come true of playing alongside his son, that

would be an nba first. lots more on the bbc sport website and the bbc sports app, but from me olly foster and the rest of the bbc sport team, goodbye. hello. it was a slightly cooler day across the board on thursday, but still warm enough with 25 degrees across the southeast. friday will be a little bit cooler still, but quite a lot of sunshine around generally. most of the showers and strongest of the winds will be across the northern half of the uk, courtesy of this area of low pressure, which will continue to pull northwards and take the strong winds and showers with it as we go through the day. but it's a blustery start to many areas, certainly across the northern half of the country for friday. the showers, the strongest of the winds, pushing northwards across scotland, some of these heavy and thundery across north eastern parts of scotland. but england and wales, certainly for wales, the midlands southwards should

stay mostly dry, with a top temperature of 22—23 degrees, mid—teens further north. now, as we head through friday night, the showers begin to fade away, the winds turn lighter and skies will clear. so it will turn quite chilly under those clear skies by the end of the night, with temperatures out of town dipping into single digits for some of us. but in town around 9—12 degrees. so it's a cool start to the weekend, but however, the weekend isn't looking too bad. there will be quite a bit of dry and sunny weather around. just a bit of rain at times through central areas of the uk, particularly on saturday. and that's courtesy of these weather fronts, which will wriggle in from the west at times. now, as we look to the north of the uk, that area of low pressure will be pulling away, taking the strong winds and the showers away from the northern isles as we go through saturday. a lot of sunshine for scotland, northern ireland, patchy cloud and rain for northern england, the midlands and wales. but southern and south—east england will be warm and increasingly humid through the day.

plenty of sunshine, top temperatures 25 degrees here, again, mid—teens further north. now as we move into part two of the weekend, this ridge of high pressure will topple in. that will kill off any showers. lighter winds as well with fewer isobars. so it should be a fine day on sunday. cool start, but plenty of sunshine around. bit of cloud building into the afternoon. thickest of the cloud, northwest scotland, where it will be breeziest, but lighter winds elsewhere. top temperatures on the cooler side, we're looking at 16—21 degrees. then as we head into next week, i think low pressure will be close by, certainly to the north and the west of the country. this is where we're likely to see most of the showers. better chance of staying dry and warmer towards the south and the east. take care.

hello. welcome to bbc�*s special coverage of the cnn presidential debate of 2024 right here in atlanta, georgia. injust an hourfrom now, presidentjoe biden and former president donald trump will meet on the debate stage for the first time since 2020. we are just 131 days out from election day in the us and tonight could mark a crucial turning point for both campaigns, as they both hope to gain ground with us voters. a recent poll shows a tight race between the two,

with a recent new york times—siena poll putting trump just four points ahead of biden among likely voters in the us. here in georgia, the candidates have a tough history, asjoe biden narrowly beat donald trump by about 12,000 votes in 2020 — that's less than a quarter of a percent of the roughly five million ballots cast. currently, donald trump has a five—point lead over biden, as georgians�* pick for president in the latest atlanta journal—constitution poll. this evening also marks a return to the debate stage for both men after nearly four years. trump notably declined to participate in the republican primary debates this cycle. donald trump and biden traded barbs twice during the 2020 presidential election, including this testy exchange. i'm not going to answer the question. why wouldn't you answer that question? you want to put a lot of new supreme court justices. radical left. will you shut up, man? listen, who is on your list, joe? who's on your list?

gentlemen, ithinkl we've ended this...
