6:34 pm
just four wickets down. mark, we know not and not an awful lot to come in terms of england's batting this test match, quite a long tail, but i'm almost at the point from an england point of view where i could give you permission to start relaxing. studio: thank you very much! joe talking to us live from old trafford. a packed day of premier league action with 7 matches to bring you up to date with. in the early kick off, manchester united were stunned on the south coast at brighton. a dramatic late winner giving new manager fabian hurzeler a dream start to the season for the seagulls. joe linskey was watching this one for us. erik ten hag's third season in charge. manchester united seeking direction. in brighton, he faced the premier league's youngest manager. at 31 years old, this is fabian hurzeler, in charge of a side with a striker two years his senior.
6:35 pm
and there is the goal! danny welbeck with the goal against the team he used to play for. united's front line now looks to the future. amad diallo, at 22, with the goal to bring them level. their next flowing move looked like it might have swung the game, but garnacho�*s finish had brushed a team—mate on the line. a team—mate on the line, joshua zirkzee who was, just, offside. and on 95 minutes, they were again in wrong places. here's the chance for the winner! joao pedro with the room to make it 2—1 to brighton. this is a club who have invested with a bold choice of coach. in these first weeks of the season, they are the team on track. joe lynskey, bbc news. as we just heard, two wins out of two for brighton. let's hear from their victorious manager. i two for brighton. let's hear from their victorious manager.- two for brighton. let's hear from their victorious manager. i think we deserved to — their victorious manager. i think we deserved to win. _ their victorious manager. i think we deserved to win. we _ their victorious manager. i think we deserved to win. we need - their victorious manager. i think we deserved to win. we need a - their victorious manager. i think we deserved to win. we need a good i deserved to win. we need a good game, not a perfect game. there are also situations where united had a chance to win the game, but in the end, i think it is deserved, and i'm very proud of the team. they showed

6:37 pm
can do damage with the transition, they made a good goal. but yeah, we played really well, greater chances in the first—half. the second, they changed to five on the back, and spaces with our holding midfield. we had chances, so really pleased to start the season that way. it had chances, so really pleased to start the season that way.- start the season that way. it was something _ start the season that way. it was something for— start the season that way. it was something for us _ start the season that way. it was something for us to _ start the season that way. it was something for us to go _ start the season that way. it was something for us to go through l start the season that way. it was | something for us to go through at this stage — something for us to go through at this stage of the season the way the fixtures— this stage of the season the way the fixtures came out, it is all about learning — fixtures came out, it is all about learning and adapting to the level. we saw_ learning and adapting to the level. we saw some of that end today, and there _ we saw some of that end today, and there are _ we saw some of that end today, and there are positives in there to take, — there are positives in there to take, and _ there are positives in there to take, and we came through a really difficult _ take, and we came through a really difficult spell in the game. tottenham hotspur ran riot at home as they brushed aside a lacklustre everton 4—0. spurs captain son heung—min with a double as the hosts picked up their first win of the season. yves bissouma and christian romero also getting on the scoresheet. so, back—to—back defeats for everton but a thoroughly satisfying day for ange postecoglou's side.
6:38 pm
we turned our dominance into goals today, and really good. we looked like a threat right from the first minute. we attacked in different ways, a real conviction about how we went forward and a real appetite to convert our chances, and all different types of goals, which is great. it is part of how we want to go about things. really pleased. that go about things. really pleased. at the end of last season we had an unbelievably bad result and came through— unbelievably bad result and came through with flying colours and build _ through with flying colours and build a — through with flying colours and build a positive feel. we lose big players _ build a positive feel. we lose big players in — build a positive feel. we lose big players in the transfer window, and are trying _ players in the transfer window, and are trying to bring present. just when _ are trying to bring present. just when you — are trying to bring present. just when you think you're beginning to turn it— when you think you're beginning to turn it around, we have a start like this, _ turn it around, we have a start like this, mistakes, goals, and all ofa sudden _ this, mistakes, goals, and all ofa sudden you — this, mistakes, goals, and all ofa sudden you are feeling back down there. _ sudden you are feeling back down there, everyone writes you are. it seems _ there, everyone writes you are. it seems to— there, everyone writes you are. it seems to be — there, everyone writes you are. it seems to be out process at football clubs _ seems to be out process at football clubs trying to break that, which have _ clubs trying to break that, which have been— clubs trying to break that, which have been trying to do with my group of players _ have been trying to do with my group of players and staff, trying to get that energy and a connection that has spoken about, and it does get

6:40 pm

6:42 pm
the individual quality at the top end of the purchase of that they do, that was the big difference today probably. i really annoyed to concede the goal in the way that we did. forthe concede the goal in the way that we did. for the amount of work we do on set pieces, it is nowhere near good enough. it set pieces, it is nowhere near good enou:h. . , set pieces, it is nowhere near good enou:h. , , , ., enough. it is very good performance overall, dominant, _ enough. it is very good performance overall, dominant, control, - overall, dominant, control, creating _ overall, dominant, control, creating. the second half, southampton reacted and put us against — southampton reacted and put us against the ropes, and the team is strong _ against the ropes, and the team is strong and — against the ropes, and the team is strong and compact to defend, and then we _ strong and compact to defend, and then we take advantage of our quality. — then we take advantage of our quality, and then it was about defending the result, things that we didn't— defending the result, things that we didn't do— defending the result, things that we didn't do last week. the cross the line didn't do last week. the cross the tine and _ didn't do last week. the cross the line and get a well—deserved win, in my opinion — turning to the championship now and qpr were held to a draw by 9—man plymouth argyle. michael frey put the home side ahead afterjust three minutes at loftus road as they went in search of their first league win of the season. but wayne rooney's side
6:43 pm
themselves looking for a first league win, levelled just before the half hour mark thanks to this stunning strike from morgan whittaker. despite having two men sent off the devon side held on for a point in west london. bristol city and coventry city also drew 1—1 at ashton gate. george tanner scored a great volley from outside the box in first—half injury time to put the hosts ahead. but kasey palmer scored late in the second half against his former club to earn the sky blues a point on the road. elsewhere today in the championship, it was goalless between hull city and millwall. blackburn beat oxford 2—1 at ewood park. middlesbrough and portsmouth shared four goals at the riverside. norwich city and sheffield united also shared the points at carrow road. there was a win for paul heckingbottom in his opening game

in charge of preston against luton. wins as well for west brom, sunderland and watford. in scotland, rangers were the big winners of the day — thumping ross county 6—0 at hampden park. just two other games today — dundee united beat stjohnstone 2—0, and it finished 2—2 at easter road between hibs and dundee. onto formula i, where mclaren's lando norris will start on pole in tomorrow's dutch grand prix. home favourite and current world champion max verstappen thought he had a fourth consecutive pole at zandvoort before norris pipped him by three tenths of a second in the very last lap. his team—mate oscar piastri will start 3rd. for mercedes, george russell in p4 while lewis hamilton failed to move past 02. to golf and world numberi nelly korda had a three—shot lead after a blemish—free 68 in the second round of the women's open at st andrews.
6:45 pm
the american started the day eight—under with england's charley hull — who led after round one — and defending champion lilia vu her closest challengers on 5 under. plenty of change, though. jane dougall is at the old course in scotland, what's the latest? mart, it has been a fascinating day of golf, and it is far from mart, it has been a fascinating day of golf, and it is farfrom over yet. at one point, england's charley hull and nelly korda from the usa were bothjoint top hull and nelly korda from the usa were both joint top of the leaderboard on 6—under, the mount changed. nelly korda, the world number one, had a very bad start to have a shrine. she bogeyed the first and second hole. it was a very mixed day for her. she picked up pace, and at one point was on 9—under, and looked to be running away with this tournament. however, she had a bit
6:46 pm
of a wobble. she had a double bogey at the 16th, and that seems to have thrown her, because she bogeyed again, and has dropped to 4—under for the tournament. meanwhile, charley hull's problem started on the 5th hole. she birdied the third, she was doing pretty well, she was on 6—under, but then frustration for the english woman because she double bogeyed the fifth, and that is our whole she has twice birdied in this tournament. she dropped another few shots, and hasjust finished her round on 2—underfor the shots, and hasjust finished her round on 2—under for the tournament. a lot of ground to make up for the englishwoman if she wants to be in contention tomorrow. and out of nowhere, we have a new leader. korea's golfer is on 7—under. she is at the top of the leaderboard after an incredible six birdies in her front nine stop she is in the clubhouse, and could be the overnight leader, but it is changing overnight leader, but it is changing over it

6:48 pm
let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. in cycling, primoz roglic powered to victory at stage 8 of the vuelta a espana, his second stage win so far. the three—time champion beat spain's enric mas in a two—up sprint to the finish line. despite roglic�*s win, australian ben o'connor retains the red jersey, albeit with a reduced advantage. ben ainslie's ineos britannia managed to get their first win in the preliminary round of the america's cup as they beat team switzerland by 33 seconds. however they then lost the second race to the italian team, so the british boat is currently 4th and will face france tomorrow. favourite magical zoe left her backers happy with a clear—cut victory in the ebor at york. henry de bromhead's mare has only switched to the flat this year and continued her impressive form win in the feature race on the fourth and final day of the ebor festival.
6:49 pm
four days before the paris paralympic games kick off, the paralympic flame has been lit next to the english hospital where the idea for the competition was born. the paralympic movement dates back to 1948, when german neurologist ludwig guttmann organised sporting events for injured veterans at stoke mandeville hospital in northwest of london where the pictures are coming from. it's the first time since the london olympics in 2012 that the paralympic flame has been lit at the hospital. on to the actual sport, and we've already celebrated golden moments for britain's rowers in the olympics this summer and there are hopes for more success on the water in the paralympics. josh o'brien rows in the mixed coxed four. a boat with very high hopes, as tom williams reports. long before most of us are even

6:56 pm
further north and west. that was how it looked in powys, and we did see sunny skies feeding in behind this rain band, albeit with a scattering of hefty showers. now, most of those showers will continue to fade through the evening, although some will continue up towards the north and the west of the uk. and then by the end of the night, we will see cloud and some patchy rain getting back into northern ireland. but where the skies remain clear, it is going to be a rather cool night, dare i say a fairly chilly night in some places? temperatures down to around 8 or 9 degrees. so we start tomorrow morning with some dry weather in many locations. but this frontal system already bringing cloud and rain into northern ireland, and that wet weather will spread its way up across southern and central portions of scotland into north west england, parts of wales as we go through the day. to the south and east of that, not a bad looking day, spells of sunshine, northern scotland seeing sunny spells and showers once again. it is going to be a windy day. we could see wind gusts in some places parts of northern england, for example, of around 40mph or more. temperatures, maybejust a little bit up on where they have been today.
6:57 pm
15 to 20 degrees covers it for most of us. as we move out of sunday and into monday, which is, of course, the bank holiday for most of us, we do see this weak ridge of high pressure trying to build in, and it does mean, actually, monday should bring a decent amount of dry weather. we could have this band of cloud here, just bringing a little bit of showery rain across southern scotland and northern england first thing, and i think we will generally see increasing amounts of cloud as we go through the day. perhaps some rain getting into northern ireland later on, but on balance this is not a bad looking day if you're looking for dry weather and some spells of sunshine. it's going to feel a little bit warmer as well. and as we head deeper into the new week, while we will see frontal systems pushing in from the northwest, these weather fronts are likely to stall. so while some of us will see outbreaks of rain, others, particularly down towards the south and the southeast, will see something warmer developing. in fact, we could see temperatures getting into the high 20s celsius.
