late drama at the austrian grand prix. george russell capitalises on a collision between max verstappen and lando norris to take the chequered flag. the tour de france bursts into life in bologna as the two race favourites taday pogarcher and jonas vinger—gaugh go head to head. leaving it late. on the eve of wimbledon andy murray is yet to confirm if he's fit enough to play at this year's championships. and delight for 17—year—old phoebe gill as she beats jemma reekie in the women's 800 metres final at the uk athletics championships. i can't believe it. sorry. i'm just in shock. welcome along to the programme. let's not waste any time and start by talking england because as it stands they're heading out of euro 202a. they trail slovakia by a goal to nil in their last 16 tie in gelsenkirchen. joe lynsky has been watching.
6:33 pm
talk us through the action so far.2 so what options are available to southgate to try and salvage the campaign? england and salvage the campaign? are training a goal to n they england are training a goal to nil. they are still yet to have a shot on target in this match. the goal they did concede to slovakia came in the second half which, who is a 30—year—old who plays for slav yet in prague and really captivates what slovakia is about. they are not a team of superstars, they are a well drilled unit, with all due respect to that club in slovakia as a whole, this is a team that england really should have expected to beat, may have never lost to before competitive action. in fact, a lot of players that have had experience in england for slovakia has only really been at championship level. so england in that first half, a goal down, at half time they were
6:34 pm
booed off, yet to register a shot on target. the closest they got was a long rage effort and a couple of efforts from harry kane which were deflected away from the goal. let's have a look at the disallowed goal that england scored in the first five minutes of the second half. foden tapping it in there but it was with a feeling amongst these celebrations that he had just strayed in front of the ball and he was there for offside, the manchester city man. we're just coming up to 75 minutes, trailing by 1-0 to coming up to 75 minutes, trailing by 1—0 to slovakia. it is unfortunate england fans having a more familiar feeling from the match in 2016, that was a last 16 match against ice were knocked out of the euros. they have a short amount of time to save their skins. �* , , ., ., ., ., ~ skins. there's been a lot of talk about whether _ skins. there's been a lot of talk about whether gareth _ skins. there's been a lot of talk| about whether gareth southgate skins. there's been a lot of talk- about whether gareth southgate will make any changes in the final group game against slovenia. there are
6:35 pm
plenty of options for southgate, has he looked to tweak things in the second half? the he looked to tweak things in the second half?— he looked to tweak things in the second half? . ., ., , ., second half? the clamour before the name was second half? the clamour before the game was a — second half? the clamour before the game was a change _ second half? the clamour before the game was a change in _ second half? the clamour before the game was a change in the _ second half? the clamour before the game was a change in the defensive | game was a change in the defensive midfield, the manchester united midfielder came in for conor gallagher at the start of this match. cole palmer has also come on as a substitute for england to try and revitalise their attacking options. also anthony gordon who is a quick and pacey winger for them there, and ollie watkins who is an aston villa striker, he was a front man and a slightly different option to harry kane, more pacing and quick. england though, with less then 15 minutes to go, it is slovakia on the ball at the moment and england have got to find a solution here because gareth southgate i think and be pretty sure there will be a lot call for his position if they go on to lose this match. . ~' , ., , position if they go on to lose this match. . ~ ,, , . position if they go on to lose this match. ., ~ ,, , .

6:36 pm
bellingham amongst those. 15 minutes ago, plenty to do for england. elsewhere this evening. first—time qualifiers georgia take on one of the favourites spain at 8 o'clock. as the lowest ranked side in the competition georgia have already beaten the odds in reaching the last—16, but now they're up against the side that beat them 7—1 in qualifying. it's always good to have moments like that because without difficulties you can't have a great achievement. it was part of our journey, we had some better moments than this one, but if we are also here today, i'm sure it did he does a lot of things and we learned a lot of things from it. translation: i think we have both improved. georgia has demonstrated improving it. it was said this morning it was that game, it was all
6:37 pm
a learning process, write? a learning curve. they have had theirs and we have had hours so it's going to be a totally different game since the two games we played against them in the qualification stage. mm? in the qualification stage. away from the euro _ in the qualification stage. away from the euro shot _ in the qualification stage. away from the euro shot kochorashvili mercedes' george russell is celebrating just the second formula 1 grand prix win of his career, as he capitalised on a late collision between championship leader max verstappen and mclaren's lando norris in austria. ben croucher reports. a formula 1 throwback, since 2022 this is the second victory of his entire career. it this is the second victory of his entire career.— entire career. it came here in austria the — entire career. it came here in austria the home _ entire career. it came here in austria the home of- entire career. it came here in austria the home of red - entire career. it came here in austria the home of red bull| entire career. it came here in - austria the home of red bull and meant to be max verstappen's ride. much of this race it looked set that way but his team had a slip—up. the hesitation make tuohy changing tires meant there was a gap. they wanted
6:38 pm
to take on the leader but got too close to each other. norris was forced out and the step and pushed back to fifth, the rest were now left with a rare opportunity. the point of the crash, russell trailed by 15 seconds, he was now at the front with just seven laps to go. george russell wins the grand prix. will they— george russell wins the grand prix. will they will hope for the same, this is_ will they will hope for the same, this is a — will they will hope for the same, this is a day when george russell cwhini— this is a day when george russell couldn't believe his luck. well, joining us now is formula 1 journalist inga stracke. a lot of like they're really for george russell, a big moment for him. , , ., ., , , him. definitely. in one of his first words after _ him. definitely. in one of his first words after crossing _ him. definitely. in one of his first words after crossing the - him. definitely. in one of his first words after crossing the finish . him. definitely. in one of his first| words after crossing the finish line was he was cheering himself and the crew on. as we have just heard, 2022 was the last victory he and mercedes had and you could tell the whole
6:39 pm
mercedes crew were really excited. he admitted that he made a rare mistake when he got so excited when he saw the collision between verstappen and norris that he shouted into russell's radio saying" we can win this? " but russell got the message, pushed on and drove to victory. it shows also that mercedes are on the way back up to the front, the cars have improved and that makes the racing really exciting. let's talk about the main incident in those final stages, the collision between norris and verstappen. norris not happy with the outer reigning world champion. what norris not happy with the outer reigning world champion. what was our take? reigning world champion. what was your take? it's _ reigning world champion. what was your take? it's really _ reigning world champion. what was your take? it's really hard - reigning world champion. what was your take? it's really hard to - reigning world champion. what was your take? it's really hard to say i your take? it's really hard to say that the end of the day we have to respect race control and the steward who decided the crash was max verstappen's fold and gave me ten penalty. whilst max after the
6:40 pm
accident got new tyres and got back into the race and finished fifth, lando norris was forced to retire. so he was of course very disappointed, which he admitted. he did say on the radio that max verstappen moved in the braking. he said no, i braked after my move, so i didn't do that together. so there will be discussion. both of them are being asked if they will discuss it because they are supposedly friends, so we need to let this settle and then we'll talk. mclaren team said in his team, quote i look back on his team where max is doing similar defence moves against lewis hamilton several years ago. and they admitted it was not max's fault but that they as a team made mistakes at the pit stops, the strategy and also, max said, the car wasn't good any more.
6:41 pm
thank you, inge. the tour de france burst into life towards the end of the second stage in bologna in italy as the race's two main protagonists taday in bologna in italy as the race's two main protagonists tadej pogacar and jonas vinger—gaugh renewed their rivalry. frenchman kevin vo—clan won the stage, but his compatriot roman barday lost the leader's yellowjersey, as nick parrott reports. the tour de france provided what could have been a defining moment of this year's race. the gotcha won the last four tour with other riders, but this is the danes first race is a serious crash in april. the latter is looking to add the tour to his italia victory in may. the slovenian threw down his challenge to the rival and they battled it out to the
6:42 pm
finish. ahead of them, a frenchman won for the second day, kevin vocal secured the biggest win of his career. behind them, by day couldn't keep up and that meant when put arch across the line he also claimed the yellow jersey. across the line he also claimed the yellowjersey. he took the lead on the second day and will be hoping he can repeat that feat on the tour. england women have wrapped up their one—day series against new zealand with a game to spare — they won by 8 wickets in worcester. once again the tourists were dimissed without completing their 50 overs. spinner sophie ecclestone taking five wickets as new zealand made just 1111 all out. maia bouchier starred with the bat in england's reply. this one of 17 boundaries. she reached her maiden international century injust 88 balls — with the winning runs. that puts england into an unassailable 2—0 lead in the series, with the final
6:43 pm
odi on wednesday. i worked hard to get to this point and it has taken me time to try and get my processes right and make sure i am not getting too ahead of myself. and i think, you know, the 100 was just another one and ijust keep trying to say that to myself and just, you know, work on that process. jonny bairstow�*s internatonal career could be over — after he was left out of the england men's test squad ahead of a busy summer. he's played 100 matches in the longest format of the game. but won't add to that in the first two tests against the west indies. bairstow offers middle order batting and wicketkeeping. but england have selected the returning harry brook and the uncapped keeper jamie smith instead. the first test is at lord's on 10thjuly. smith's inclusion also means there no place for ben foakes,
6:44 pm
while dillon pennington also receives a first call up. he and another fast bowler gus atkinson could make their test debuts as england look to a future without james anderson who'll retire after that first test at lord's. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today... england's alice hewson has won the swiss open. hewson won a play—off on the first hole after she'd finished her final round tied with tvesa malik of india on 11 under par. and a play—off in the italian open saw marcel siem of germany beat northern ireland's tom mckibbin. both men had finished on ten under par. after victory in yesterday's sprint race francesco bagnaia completed the double by winning the assen motogp in the netherlands. the italian lead from pole to chequered flag and has now cut the gap to championship leader jorge marteen to just ten points after the spaniard finished second.
6:45 pm

6:50 pm
opportunity to do that was, yeah, i mean, incredible. the olympics here and everything and also, light, the losses as well. people always want to remember, like, the good moments when you look back. but that lost to federer was a huge moment in my career and really important for me, how i reacted and responded to that was really important as well. emma raducanu seems full of confidence ahead of the tournement but she's played down expectations ahead of her first round match tomorrow. the former us open champion made the semi—finals in nottingham and then claimed her first win over a top—10 opponent against jessica pegula on her way to the eastbourne quarter—finals. the draw has not been not kind to raducanu. she faces russian 22nd seed ekaterina alexandrova. i'm really loving tennis at the moment. ifeel like i have got a

genuine real smile planted on my face all the time when i'm on the ground here and even off the ground is. i've reallyjust, you know, i don't know how it really happened but at the last few weeks have been great for me. i've had some good wins, i've had some matches which i would say are different to the cast couple of years and i'm feeling very confident about things and relaxed. but i think that i am just feeling free, i'm feeling light, and feeling like i havejust got free, i'm feeling light, and feeling like i have just got a free, i'm feeling light, and feeling like i havejust got a big enjoyment. like i have just got a big enjoyment-— like i have just got a big en'o ment. ., ., , ., ., , enjoyment. the tournament you are up auainst enjoyment. the tournament you are up against katerina _ enjoyment. the tournament you are up against katerina alexandrova, - enjoyment. the tournament you are up against katerina alexandrova, a - enjoyment. the tournament you are up against katerina alexandrova, a good l against katerina alexandrova, a good .rass against katerina alexandrova, a good grass court _ against katerina alexandrova, a good grass court player, a couple of grass — grass court player, a couple of grass court player, a couple of grass court titles, are you going in as the _ grass court titles, are you going in as the underdog?— as the underdog? yes, hundred ercent. as the underdog? yes, hundred percent- she — as the underdog? yes, hundred percent. she is _ as the underdog? yes, hundred percent. she is 22nd _ as the underdog? yes, hundred percent. she is 22nd seed, - as the underdog? yes, hundred percent. she is 22nd seed, i - as the underdog? yes, hundredj percent. she is 22nd seed, i am as the underdog? yes, hundred - percent. she is 22nd seed, i am 200 in the world, so i'm completely the underdog and i don't think that is necessarily a bad thing. i trust myself, i trust my game and i have belief. as long as i keep believing and put my game on the court, i will be happy if i leave it all out there
6:52 pm
and compete as hard as i can. as for the result, of course i want to stay here as long as possible, it is the most amazing place to be. so going to push for that, that is my motivation. before we go let's take you back to gelsenkirchen and update you on england's last 16 european championship match against slovakia.. making no mistake with the finish, england thought they had equalised early in the second half but it was offside at a ar check and it was disallowed. harry kane couldn't with the follow—up. let's go to our correspondent at brixham who is watching this match with all the fans in the fun part. tense, i think, where you are fair to say perhaps?

6:57 pm
hello there! part two of the weekend looking cloudier and cooler across the board. we saw top temperature of 25 degrees across the south east of england yesterday, looking more like 20 or 21 today. and that's pretty much how the week ahead is shaping up. it's going to be changeable, low pressure, always close by. most of the rain will be in the north and the west of the country, and it will be rather cool for the time of year. still no signs of another hot and sunny spell on the cards. this ridge of high pressure has brought quite a bit of dry weather around this morning. a few splashes of rain in towards the south east of england through the afternoon. the cloud just may be thick enough on the spine of the country for the odd spit and spot of rain, otherwise mostly dry, limited sunshine, probably the best of it.

southern and southwest england, where we could be up to highs of 20 or 21 degrees. for most of though, it's the mid to high teens now. this evening, any showers or spits and spots of rain fade away and overnight it turns drier with clear spells developing. but we look to the west to a new set of weather fronts, pushing in to bring thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain. here, temperatures becoming a little bit 12 degrees here, but under clearer skies further east we could see a few single digits. so into monday we've got this weather front crossing the country. i think on its southern flank there won't be that much in the way of rain. it should be mostly dry or it should fizzle as it pushes towards eastern areas. but we start with some sunshine. most of the rain will be across scotland, northern england into the afternoon, not pushing out into the north sea. and again, temperatures because of a lack of sunshine will be a bit disappointing. 20 or 21 degrees. remember, monday is the first day of wimbledon. there may be the odd spot of rain on that front as it moves through during the afternoon. i think a better chance of staying dry though. on tuesday, perhaps a few glimmers of brightness and again, temperatures into the low 20s. and the reason for that is this ridge of high pressure exerts its force across the country

just a little bit more on tuesday. so we start off on a fine note. lots of sunshine around for england and wales. cloud tending to build up though into the afternoon, and on this westerly breeze we will see some showers or longer spells of rain pushing into scotland, certainly across northern and western scotland. so here a little bit wetter again, temperatures pretty disappointing 1a to 20 or 21 degrees. and that's how it stays for the rest of the week. most of the rain will be in northern and western areas. a better chance of escaping the rain across the south and the east, but it will be rather cool for the time of year, both by day and by night.
