there was late drama in austria too. we'll show you how george russell was handed his second f1 win. and andy murray's leaving it late. on the eve of wimbledon, the two—time champion is still to decide is he'll be fit. so as expected — spain and england into the last eight at the european championship. simple as that right? doesn't quite tell the full story. we'll kick off sportsday in gelsenkirchen where england were barely a minute away from crashing out of the tournament. they needed extra time to beat slovakia 2—1. despite topping their group — gareth southgate�*s side have done little to catch the imagination so it was perhaps little surprise when slovakia led through ivan shranz. it took until the 95th minute for england to even

muster a shot on target. not a bad effort really. jude bellingham with the equaliser. into extra time they went — with harry kane scoring in the first minute of it to setup a quarter final with switzerland next saturday. in the celebrations of his goal, jude bellingham appeared to mouth the words "who else" towards the crowd. he explained what was going through his head at the time. i think the adrenaline gets you, it is a combination of a lot of things. playing for england is an enjoyable filling but also a lot of pressure, you hear people talk a lot of rubbish and it is nice when you deliver, you can give them a little bit back. it is very difficult in press conferences and interviews and things like that to talk as openly as footballers want to because they are always judged, and for me football and being on the pitch, scoring goals and celebrating is my police, and it was maybe a message to some people, but a very happy moment and full of adrenaline.

so what about the manager then? the nature of the display may not spare gareth southgate from criticism but he's remaining defiant. we've got a long way to go and quarterfinals but we're going to play a very good team and everyone i'm sure understandably will be questioning her performances and understand that. but we've got some qualities that kept us in this. in sunday's other match, spain also came from a goal down, beating georgia 4—1 and maintaining their 100% record. the georgians are playing in their first major tournamant and went ahead thanks to a robin le normand own goal. but the spanish were level by the break and nico williams scored the pick of their four goals. hosts germany are up next for them on friday. much like england, france have yet to truly hit top form in the tournament so far, finishing second in their group behind austria.

they're gearing up for their knockout tie with belgium in dusseldorf. it's a meeting between second and third in the world rankings. kylian mbappe is expected to lead the line and antoine griezmann is likely to be recalled too. mbappe admits playing with a mask to protect his broken nose is quote "absolutely horrible". that's the early kick off on monday. it'll be followed by 2016 winners portugal versus slovenia. the frankfurt arena the location for that one. desparate and reckless — that's how lando norris described max verstappen after the two collided while battling for the lead at the end of the austrian grand prix. it cost both a shot of victory — but allowed george russell through for an unlikely win. joe lynskey has the story. the teams first race victory since 2022 in this driver

second victory of his entire career. it came here in austria, home of red bull and meant to be his quiet ride to the summit. for much of this race, it that way but the team met a slip—up. the hesitation changing tires meant to ignore the gap and went to take on the leader and they got too close. max perspective for and then left with a rare opportunity. at the point of the crash, 15 seconds and only six to the front of the seven laps to go. next week, silverstone where he will hope for the same. it is not over— will hope for the same. it is not over until _ will hope for the same. it is not over until it's _ will hope for the same. it is not over until it's over. - will hope for the same. it is not over until it's over. this is the day — not over until it's over. this is the day were _ not over until it's over. this is the day were george - not over until it's over. this is the day were george marshall could not believe his luck. —— george russell.

grand slam of the year — gets underway on monday. but will we see a final farewell for andy murray? the two—time champion is set to play his final wimbledon but he's struggling with a leg problem and recently had a minor operation to remove a cyst close to his spine. he has been out on the practice courts at the all—england club over the weekend but with his first round match fast approaching on tuesday — he says he'll make a decision on his fitness late on monday. practised on the grass for the last couple of days and set today and i'm going to play set again tomorrow and distant physical tests in the morning and just see where that is and, you know, we should be able to make a decision tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon or the evening. every day it has been getting better and better, ijust don't

"tte: back was pretty pad a few problems than the back? tte: back was pretty pad a few days before queens started again and the back was pretty bad during queens but when i started managing in a lost control of my leg, is not easy to play like that but my back is much better now. but the leg is what needs to improve now. the way ou're needs to improve now. the way you're talking — needs to improve now. the way you're talking sounds _ needs to improve now. the way you're talking sounds like - needs to improve now. the way you're talking sounds like it's i you're talking sounds like it's a genuine challenge and may be able play singles. t a genuine challenge and may be able play singles.— able play singles. i played a set today — able play singles. i played a set today and _ able play singles. i played a set today and it _ able play singles. i played a set today and it was - able play singles. i played a set today and it was not - able play singles. i played a set today and it was not the best set i've ever played plough sitting the ball extremely well and my team said if they did not know what was going on, they would've been like, aware that i had an issue
12:53 am
and so, going on, they would've been like, aware that i had an issue and so, you know, if i can improve a little better again tomorrow and tuesday then there is a chance. i think it is more likely that i would not play singles, if i'm being honest right now, but we will see how the next couple of days ago. the top seed in the women's draw iga swiatek says the gruelling tennis calendar is partly behind her decision not to play any grass court tournaments into the build up to wimbledon. she took time off after winning the french open — and has never been past the last eight in london. i need to take a break after this clay—court season because it will be impossible for me to manage the rest of the season to november, basically, properly, so i came here early to practise on the same grass i am going to play matches on and it was a smart move this year, but every year we will plan it a little bit differently. 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 but won't add to that in the first two tests against the west indies after selectors called up the uncapped wicketkeeper jamie smith, alongside a returning harry brook. the first test is at lord's on iothjuly. smith's inclusion means there no place for surrey teammate ben foakes, while nottinghamshire seamewr 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. the tour de france is just two days old and already the pre—race favourite tadej pogacar has taken the leader's yellow jersey. the race is actually in italy right now, but frenchman have claimed both stages so far, kevin vauquelin winning into bologna. behind, pogacar pulled ahead of most of his main rivals to top the overall standings ahead of monday's expected sprint finish in turin. pogacar is bidding to win the tour after taking victory in the giro d'italia

last month. and just before we go — time to point you in the direction of the bbc sport website and app for the very latest on all those stories and lots, lots more. but from all of us at the bbc sport centre, thanks forjoining us. we'll see you again soon. hello. thanks forjoining me. july, statistically is our warmest month of the summer, but thisjuly, at least the beginning, is looking very different. mother nature has decided to put a pause on the summer heat. it's going to be rather on the cool side, even really windy at times in the north of the uk. and of course there is
12:56 am
some rain on the way. so let's have a look at the forecast for monday. a couple of weather fronts spreading across the uk and early in the morning we will have had fairly cloudy weather with some rain splashing through out towards the east that morning. sunshine and temperatures of around 13 or ia celsius. ok, let's get the forecast then. that bright weather will give way to cloudier skies. as that weather front advances eastwards, most of the rain will fall across northern england, parts of scotland too, but out towards the west. come the afternoon the skies should brighten, so at least some sunny spells on the way and in the south two temperatures, nothing spectacular. 17 in belfast, glasgow and newcastle, the midlands too, maybe nudging up to about 21 in london. so a little below where we normally are on average. wimbledon gets under way on monday. temperatures in london about 21, often cloudy, just about staying dry, and similar weather the following day. now let's have a look at the forecast for tuesday.
12:57 am
a weak ridge of high pressure tries to build across the uk, but around it there's a fair amount of cloud. notice where the showers go scotland, northern ireland and the north of england. i think if you're in the south and the south east, the weather on tuesday should be generally dry and the temperatures about the same, even higher than 15 degrees in the lowlands of scotland and just about 20 or so further south. then, on wednesday, a weather front, low pressure again moving across the uk. you know what that means — cloud and some outbreaks of rain. really quite grey for a time for some of us. the winds not too strong, but certainly a good breeze out there. temperatures may not even make 20 celsius midweek, which is a little unusual at this time of the year. let's have a look at the week at a glance. now, towards the end of the week, it's actually going to turn particularly windy, i think across northern parts of the uk. guess what? even a risk of gale force winds around some scottish coasts. that's it for me. bye— bye.
