let's start at the oval, where the opening match of the champions trophy tournament for the best 8 teams in the world, proved the perfect advert for one—day cricket. john watson is there, bangladesh proved their credentials but england showed they've got the big hitters to perhaps go all the way in the tournament. absolutely, mike, it's not often that england come into a 50 of the favourites that that is the type they have been afforded this year, such as being their progress in this format of the game. bangladesh posted a total of 360 victory, if england would pass that they would have to pass the highest run chase in champions trophy

history but with joe root run chase in champions trophy history but withjoe root in your ra nks history but withjoe root in your ranks anything is possible. getting into cricket is a slow process , getting into cricket is a slow process, bangladesh fans do it artfully, england fans patiently, they are used to waiting. england hosted the first international one—day tournament in 1975 and this is the 19th attempt at winning one that there's enough buzz about this site that may be finally this is the one. no one said it would be easy. this was a day for batting, england asked bangladesh to do it first. wickets were stretched, a mark would stretch about, bangladesh and not england out of the last word cricket cup and if anyone needed a reminder here it was, they'll fill in the gaps. with chris woakes injured tommy iqbal picked off those left, owing to a superb century but as the bangladesh innings was including they gave it to much air and pop, two wickets in two balls, a good

score that they might have got more so score that they might have got more so england had hoped, bangladesh also had something to cling to because jason roy is called one. alex hales would not miss out, no need for a risk, runs everywhere, he got to within one shot of 100. this was it, that was it. hobbling behind him,joe was it, that was it. hobbling behind him, joe root, batting on a sore ankle he limped over the line, test captain, one—day centurion and fitting scorer of the winning runs. for england the perfect end to the beginning. patrick geary, bbc news, at the oval. joe root again underlining why he is one of the best in all formats of the game. ebony rainford brent is with me. as patrick mentioned, joe root got a calf injury in that match and yet still went on to achieve his tenth 0di century. he quite some player. is a bit of a superman. what i liked about his innings, wickets go quite quickly and a lot of other batsman would come back and get

flustered and he was so calm, he paces his innings. he was even injured, it's a bit of a nervous concern because he went over and initially we thought it was his ankle but when interviewed he talks about how he might hopefully have got calf cramp and it might be something more. even with that he could mentally compose himself and really craft a brilliant 133. he's a really craft a brilliant 133. he's a really important cog in this wheel. and impressive from england because there was no sign of panic, and very composed performance, the one slight concern was the performance of jason roy at the top of the order, again failing to produce a big score. the only downside to what's been a very positive start to this tournament for england. two, possibly, the jason roy concern, when you've got such a good line—up withjonny ba i rstow in such a good line—up withjonny bairstow in the wings it makes it more of an issue because the shot he played today shows that he looks a bit flustered, perhaps the pressure is getting to him a bit and he

played a shot he didn't have to, he's a better batsman than that and better when playing down the grand silky will have covered much of. the other concern is chris woakes, he started bowling, one of england's best bowlers and he went off with a side strain. the only is not so well england are playing but it is can we keep this side fit all the way to the end. a much tougher test to come, ebony, thank you. all eyes will turn now to new zealand, and then the final group match against australia which could be fascinating. england will help to be back at the oval on the 18th for the final. thank you. a great start for england. don't forget you can watch highlights this evening on bbc 2. it's been a day of british success at the french open, with both andy murray and kyle edmund booking their places in the third round in paris. alex gulrajani reports. despite battling with injury and

illness andy murray is targeting success in paris. the runner—up last year admits he needs to play himself into form and world number 50 martin klizan provided a suitable test. the slovakian is anything but conventional but he also packs an impressive punch as he broke serve early on. a resilient murray fought back yet the first set went the other way after a tie—break. before the word "absurd" could start creeping around roland garros the world number one was back on form. —— upset. the opening set forgotten as murray to the second and third looking far more assured. but the fourth was anything but, martin klizan racing into the lead, the drop shot his men worked on. once again, though, murray showed why he is the world one, his power and determination bringing the game back onto his terms. victory followed soon afterwards for murray returning to form at just the right

soon afterwards for murray returning to form atjust the right time. and he will bejoined in to form atjust the right time. and he will be joined in the third round by kyle edmund, the first time the man in blue has made it that far in paris. his victory over the argentinian player renzo 0livo was more comfortable, a straight sets victory for the british number two. next up for him the south african kevin anderson. i felt a ifelt a bit i felt a bit more ifelt a bit more in i felt a bit more in control of the first round match than today, whether that is to do with the opponent or not i'm not sure but at times today i played some solid stuff, the most positive thing for me, the most positive things, one physically, i felt good after a pretty long much in tough conditions, and also i made some quite significant changes during the match to my tactics and where i was positioning myself on the court, which i hadn't been doing for the last six or seven weeks when i had been entered situations so that was good but yes, definitely the consistency needs to get better. two british players through.

kyle edmund will now face the big—hitting south african kevin anderson. he's through after beating nick kyrios. the australian was a set up, but when things then didn't go his way his racket took some punishment. looks beyond repair there...well it is now — as he really let the carefully crafted racket feel the full force of his emotions. meanwhile there was also frustration and tears, in the match betweenjuan martin del potro and nicolas almagro. almagro was forced to retire with injury, and was visibily upset on the court. but del potro took a moment to console him. a lovely display of sportsmanship from a man who knows a thing, or two about injuries. del potro will play andy murray, in the next round in a rematch of the 2016 olympic final. the women's top seed left in the tournament, karolina pliskova, is on court playing ekaterina alexandrova. karolina pliskova blitzed through the first set in just 22 minutes, to

win it 6—2 but a russian opponent has levelled at one set all. so that much is going the distance. simona halep beats tatjana maria in straight sets. there were also wins for top ten seeds agnieszka radwa nska and elina svitolina. the 18—time grand slam champion, martina navratilova, has renewed her call for the margaret court arena she has written a letter requesting that the former australians player be removed because she objects to margaret court's comments on same—sex marriage, saying that it is clear that margaret court is an amazing tennis player, racist and homophobic. let's speak to our correspondent who is at the french 0pen, russell, what's been the reaction to this letter? the latter

has put more pressure on tennis australia to potentially renamed the stadium from the margaret court arena. they had initially tried to separate the achievements of margaret court during her career, 2a grand slam titles, from the comments and the values that she stands for 110w and the values that she stands for now but martina navratilova wrote this letter in response to margaret court significantly upping the anti—, in her interview with a christian radio station in perth she spoke about transgender children which she said was the work of the devil, supported by a global conspiracy. that is what caused offence and prompted martina navratilova to write that letter and in it, say that she believes that margaret court is denying lesbian and gay and bisexual and transsexual people from getting equal rights. she says she is demonising trans—jordan and she says she is demonising tra ns—jordan and trans she says she is demonising trans—jordan and trans adults everywhere. her suggestion should be

that the stadium should be renamed, no longer the margaret court arena, but perhaps the eve on good god arena, named after the aboriginal australian who won seven grand slams —— the evonne goolagong arena. australian who won seven grand slams —— the evonne goolagong arena! still to come will be hearing from ian poulter on how to get more people interested in golf. the series that was on a couple of weeks ago was great fun. we need to keep plugging away, finding ways to get more people attracted to the great game of golf that we play. and who's going — or not going — where? we've the latest on player transfers, in the premier league. now, we are just over an hour away from the women's champions league final and two french teams will compete for the trophy in cardiff. holders lyon will face

paris st—germain and we can now speak to my colleague sarah mulkerrins in cardiff. hi sarah, lyon are making this final a pretty much annual event. it is indeed, our sixth and final appearance, and with me i have a swiss international, also a two—time champion with lyon, how will they do. i think they are very excited to get on the field and get into the atmosphere, that's going to be great tonight. i think paris saint—germain might be more nervous than lyon because lyon so experienced. if they wa nt to because lyon so experienced. if they want to play in the champions league next year. what makes lyon such a dominant force in women's football? a lot of things, they've been evolving together on the national

tea m evolving together on the national team and also in lyon. they have a really good coach has worked really well with them over the past three yea rs. well with them over the past three years. they have so many good individual players but they are a team. anything that paris saint—germain can do?” team. anything that paris saint-germain can do? i think they will be really aggressive, they have good players, a good coach as well. i know what their coach can do, i w011 i know what their coach can do, i won the champions league twice with him. he's going to get them really pumped up and ready for this game. they are going to be really aggressive, and they were wanted more. thank you forjoining me. plenty of fans around here, and as a committee to get young fans involved, plenty of youngsters here soi involved, plenty of youngsters here so i think it's working so far. back to you, mike. the signal went a little, apologies for any break—up but i am sure you got the gist. let's round up of some of the other football stories around today. reports coming out of portugal,

have suggested that benfica goalkeeper ederson has agreed to move to manchester city. sources at city say however, the deal is not done yet, but the fee is believed to be in the region of £35 million. and more news out of city. yaya toure has signed a one—year contract extension. the 34—year—old moved to the etihad from barcelona in 2010. manchester united's interest in atletico madrid's french winger antoine griezmann has cooled. that's according to sources close to the club. it had been widely reported that united were making griezmann their top target this summer and were close to triggering the escape clause, in his contract with atletico. but it seems united have turned their attention away from the winger, to concentrate on signing a main striker. maybe a target man is there more pressing need. darren fletcher has signed for stoke city on a free transfer from west brom.

the scotland captain, has signed a two—year deal with mark hughes's side, and will officially join on july 1st when his contract at the hawthorns expires. next to golf, and ryder cup star ian poulter has told the bbc he thinks families hold the key for golf to have a successful future. since the economic downturn, nearly ten years ago, participation had been steadily falling, but not anymore. recent research, suggests the number of people playing golf is starting to pick up with clubs around the country, targeting juniors, and women in particular. to boost participation. tom williams reports from stoke by nayland in suffolk. tea—time at the golf course. it has come a fairway from the stuffy image of the past. clubs are now making golf fan for the family. it's great to see the family interacting, we have grandfathers,
