the ashes even though they're 18 months away. welcome along, we have our first finallist at the european championship, spain maintainng their 100 percent record at the tournament beating france 2—1 in munich, but they had to come from behind, with the equaliser making history. lamine yamal, their 16 year old forward with an exquisite strike to become the youngest goalscorer at a major championship. our reporterjoe lynskey was watching the match. spain against france and the

euro semifinals and gigantic fixtures need no further introduction. and for kylian mbappe, it was time to take the mask off, broken nose healed and now to fix his teams attack. before this, francis scoredjust attack. before this, francis scored just three times in day euros through to our own goals and the penalty. this was the breakthrough that had to wait and pray for. but in spain's midfield, there was a miracle talent. of barcelona, 16 years old and spain and for euros youngest ever player. the schoolboy who brought his homework to germany, now the stars of the game watched on and studied. his team are on top, viz. first half was frantic. by the end of it, spain had changed its direction

and up through danny and now france found goals are to come by again. the second have slipped by in spain held on through the tension. they had been this euros free scoring sensation in the last step is on sunday. a final in berlin against the netherlands or england. both teams have arrived in dortmund for that second semi—final. england's progress to the last 4 saw them taken to extra time by slovkaia and a penalty shootout against switzerland. it has been far from convincing, but the manager gaerth southgate has a fully fit squad to choose from and says the team spirit has never been better despite their below par performances so far. at the beginning of the tournament, the expectation weighed quite heavily. and of course, the external noise was louder than it's ever been.

so i felt we couldn't quite get ourselves in the right place. and in the end, what was impressive was the players ground it out, they've ground results out and found ways to win. the ones who have had more experience in tournaments know what it's like to play for england in major tournaments. and of course, as we've been doing better and getting better in tournaments, the expectation gets higher, and that's been no difference. from a team point of view, we know we want to achieve, we've set out from the start what we've been trying to achieve, and we are close to doing that. netherlands were four hours late getting to dortmund after their train from wolfsburg was cancelled because of a blockage on the line. they had to fly instead. this is the team finally rriving at their dortmund hotel. the rail network in germany has been critricised throughout the tournament and it's not the first time that the dutch have struggled, they got the train to berlin for their group stage match against austria but then had to fly back because of a limited servce. the head coach was more concerned about how they approach the match,

with england changing their tactics in the last game. it is always good to know and what kind of system they will start and defence, five defence of the plague in switzerland in the last match and we are prepared for both ways to compete against them and we know if they have these qualities, do you have put teams really strong and it will be a good fight. we've had the first of the quarterfinals at wimbeldon, the top seed jannik sinner is out, beaten by daniil medvedev who will face carlos alcaraz next, and in the women's draw, donna vekic will face jasmine paolini after both won today. chethan pathak has all the details from the all england club. the rain keeps on coming at these championships and so do the surprises, his wait for his first

wimbledon final continues. the world number one was hampered by illness during his quarterfinal against daniel medvedev but still managed to take into five sets. he'd won the last five against the russian fifth seed but this was medvedev�*s moment, revenge for his australian open final defeat. he is through to the semifinals again. where just like last year, carlos awaits. the defending champion wanted his match to be done before spain kicked off their football game. he got his wish of the title at queen �*s coming into these championships held him up by winning the first set. the defending champion was too good thereafter, reeling off the next three to reach the last four again. in the women's draw, new zealand's qualify, lulu's magical run is over.

the world number 123 playing up her first grand slam took the first set, the croatian study thereafter. injuries nearly forced her out of the sport. a resilient show this time as she won in three to reach her first grand slam semifinal. and there she will meet italy's jazmine paolini who is summer to remember continues. the french open finalist is now a wimbledon semifinalist after an outstanding win over america's emma navarro in less than an hour. never won a match here until this year's championships. and so on wednesday, the quarterfinals will continue with former champions novak djokovic and elena roebuck and anna, hoping to seal their place in the last four. slovenia's tadej pogacar is still in the yellowjersey at the tour de france. he's maintained his 33—second lead after stage 10 — a flat stage where the main contenders were able to conserve their energy

and finished together in the peloton. belgium's yasper philipsen, who won the green jersey as top sprinter last year, took his first stage of this years race. two france rugby union internationals have been arrested in argentina after a woman claimed that she was sexually assaulted. 0scarjegou and hugo auradou have both denied the allegation they were detained in buenos aires and have been taken back tio mendoza where the alleged incident took place at the team hotel following the first test against argentina on saturday, a match in which both players made their debuts. a statement from the french rugby federation says that "the players confirmed that a sexual encounter took place with the young woman on the night in question, but firmly denied any form of violence". we've heard from ben stokes ahead of england's first test against west indies. it's a busy summer with another three test series against sri lanka to follow, but the skipper says that they are already looking ahead to the ashes tour 18 months away. from lord's, here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson.

james anderson's mind might be in many places this week, but he'll notice a team in transition. his captain has many duties. ben stokes will play as an all around her, and he's the planner. already looking beyond even this summer. for me, i want to be able to sort of implement stuff to push the team as far as they can go, not only as a team collective, but also individuals. you got to go in 18 months�* time to australia, and we want to win that over. for the west indies here and now, there's been little time to adapt english conditions, but they have some serious fast bowlers and a very experienced captain. i wonder, do you think this is the best group of players you've had at your disposal so far? it's quite hard to say best.

it's a young group, especially the batsmen. they have a lot of time to learn, because obviously playing test cricket, it takes a while to understand, you're always learning on the job. but yes, a very distant to make a decent team for sure. and challenging that decent team is england's immediate concern — this is clearly not australia. this is james anderson starting his final test match in conditions that will sent him, preparing them as england's future builds around him. joe wilson, bbc news, at lord's. gautam ghambir is india's new head coach, replacing rahul dravid who signed off after three years in charge with their t20 world cup victory last month ghambir is a former india opener and made almost 250 appearances for his country in all formats of the game between 2003 and 2016. he has most recently coached the indian prmier league champions kolkata knight riders.

you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. thanks forjoining me. well, it does feel like summer has come to an abrupt end. or perhaps it never started in the first place. and more rain clouds on the horizon for the rest of this week, but here's some good news. at least it's not going to be raining all the time. i want to show you the big picture first and where the jetstream is relative

to the uk. here it is over the next few days, to the south of us. now, north of the jet stream, we generally have cool air. south of the jet stream we generally have warm air. notice where it is over the coming days — to the south of us. that means we get that air stream from the north and with a rippling jet stream, we also have weather patterns heading our way and in fact, a lot of rain to come in the coming days, particularly across northern parts of the uk. in fact, the north east of scotland in the next 2a hours, particularly soggy with this weather system here. that rain unrelenting here, particularly in the northeast highlands, in grampian to the south. by the end of the night, i think just a few scattered showers, but it is relatively humid air, so that means that the temperatures aren't dropping particularly low overnight, say 1a degrees first thing in the morning. now here's wednesday — low pressure to the north. so that rain that i mentioned in the north and the east

of scotland. the met office is pointing to 20—30mm of rain quite widely. in the extreme case it could be double even triple that. so really, really wet across this part of the world to the south, scattered showers, maybe some thunderstorms. but i think come the afternoon there will be some sunshine in the south of the uk. and that, of course, is good news for wimbledon because the weather has been dreadful. however, there is a rain symbol there for wednesday. that's to indicate the showers we should have in the morning, but come the afternoon it will be better. now, high pressure is close by, it'sjust in the wrong position. we're on the edge of the high, so that means that the winds are coming in from the north. so really cool air sliding across the uk with showers and again rather a lot of cloud. look at the temperatures — 1a in aberdeen, we might squeeze 22 or 23 in the south east of the country if there will be some prolonged sunny spells, but the outlook into the weekend really says it all. it's that mixed bag and it is on the cool side forjuly. bye— bye.
