and we'll be remembering young sunderland supporter bradley lowery as thousands of mourners line the streets of the city for his funeral. that's all ahead on bbc news. hello and welcome to wimbledon sportsday — i'm hugh woozencroft. our main stories this evening. can he do it? roger federer is trying to book his place in his 11th final here at the all—england club. should he do it, he'll face marin cilic after his battling win over sam querrey. we'll have news of an up and down day for england's cricketers on day one of the second test with south africa. i'm nico rosberg, coming up, i will be talking tennis and the british grand prix, so please stay watching. so a quieter day for the british fans here at the all—england club, but as ever they're enjoying themselves after a pulsating few days.

and one of they're favourites is out on court, still showing his quality at the age of 35. roger federer the seven—time champion is in the men's semi—finals, taking on 11th seed tomas berdych. we can go to centre court. it has been a very good start from the seven time champion. he is leading 2-0. the seven time champion. he is leading 2—0. the first set was a very tight affair which went to a tie—break which federer turk. federer took the second set as well. unbelievable from roger federer, he looks to be nearly into the final, amazing performance. the year has been fantastic, better probably then he fell, he has had a good record against tomas berdych in the past ——

then he felt. he surprisingly dispatched tomas berdych in australia, hardly breaking sweat. it is not over yet, but this is a good position for roger to be in. is this his tournament to lose? everyone has been talking about him all day long. can you see anyone beating him? cilic has a decent chance, he can hurt you off both sides and that is very important. if you are on equal in terms of your attack against one of the top players you will struggle because they are so good at defending and they can find your wea kness defending and they can find your weakness but cilic doesn't have that weakness. and he can take the racket out of your hands with his serve and if it is the final between federer and cilic, roger would be favoured but cilic knows he can beat him in a grand slam because he has done that in the past. tomas berdych has

beaten him before, how can he use that experience? you have got to put your best tennis on the court, and he has done that for a large part, he has done that for a large part, he has done that for a large part, he has a big game, people underestimate just how hard he hits it from the back of the court, but it from the back of the court, but it isa it from the back of the court, but it is a very flat hit and he doesn't have the same margin of error as some of the other top players. but on his day when he is hot, he's very dangerous. mark, stay there for a moment. well, if federer is going to win an eighth single title, he'd have to win today of course and then get past the croatian marin cilic. the former us open champion is into final after coming past sam querrey in a match where break points were at a premium, as alex gulrajani reports. when champions fall, the spaces need to be filled, sam querrey and marin cilic might have made this walk before but never this far. in fairness both men have been at wimbledon and for querrey, in a

grand slam, his opponent was on hand to ta ke grand slam, his opponent was on hand to take advantage of any mistakes, but not that many were shown, both players renowned for their power and also demonstrating their poise. really aggressive challenging from cilic. querrey is comfortable at the net, as he is at the back of the court, cilic finally rattled as the first set went to the american. cilic needed to respond and he did, six games into the second set. that is the big roar from cilic. it was an advantage he did not let slip, the second set, match level. the last time they've met at wimbledon they were on court for over five hours, and the third set gave the impression this mayjust be another one. breaks exchanged and a mixture of outright power and perfect precision, they could not be split until cilic made his move, another tie—breaker, this time it went his

way. querrey had to respond at the start of the fourth and he did with the early break of serve, nowjust don't let it slip. unfortunately for him he couldn't hold on, cilic took charge and did not let go. brilliant. brilliant from cilic. typically the match was won with another winner. unbelievable, unbelievable, especially the way the tournament and folded from the first round, i was playing really great tennis and i felt the level was really good. and he will have to keep it up if he is to win a first wimbledon title. so, marin cilic into the showpiece event. to keep you updated on the other semifinal, it is 3—3 in the third set. talking about cilic for a moment, you could see how much it

meant to him, how confident is he playing in the final against federer oi’ playing in the final against federer or tomas berdych question not it will be confident that he can dictate and he has a few options. he has worked very hard on his volleys and you can't just has worked very hard on his volleys and you can'tjust beat roger in a one—dimensional battle, the back of the court. he has been playing the best kind of grass court tennis and he has kept the run going, he had a very quiet period at the start of the year, things not going so well, and he worked very hard to get back into shape and he is deserving of his place in the final. he looks hungrier than ever. so many people talk about his serve. what other facets which not his movement, he moves facets which not his movement, he m oves very facets which not his movement, he moves very well. he returns well on both sides and that is very good because you are not certain where to go. you can quickly be on the back

foot and that is something cilic does better than almost anyone else and when he is confident that will give him a great chance of taking the time away from someone like roger who can dictate if he has time on the ball. no johanna konta or andy murray of course, but we are going to check in on heather watson. she's playing with her partner, they are the defending champions in the mixed doubles and they are in action. they are taking on the number two seed. so far it has gone with serve. we will update you with that late on foot of jamie murray is also in action with martina hingis. now we've seen plenty of famous faces over the course of the championships here, with many of them able to watch the tennis from the royal box. among those happy to receive that privilege today was formula i champion nico rosberg, now retired of course. earlier he spoke to our reporterjohn watson. it is the first time, the first time

ata grand it is the first time, the first time at a grand slam and i've been a tennis fan all my life, it has been on my bucket list to come to wimbledon to watch a great match and this is a special day. you meet some interesting people, i met rod laver a few minutes ago. awesome. men's semifinals, do you know any of the players? roger federer was in abu dhabi in our garage during the world championship decider. i've met the few others, novak djokovic lives in monaco. it is such an extreme thing to bea monaco. it is such an extreme thing to be a good sportsman having great success , to be a good sportsman having great success, which is very difficult for someone success, which is very difficult for someone to understand who has not beenin someone to understand who has not been in that position, from outside, and when we have these discussions between ourselves it is super interesting, to exchange what we are feeling and thinking and how it has been, very enlightening. you are not racing any more, are you missing the cut and thrust of the sport? no, it

isa cut and thrust of the sport? no, it is a closed chapter and i'm very fulfilled and very happy, with how everything went and how it ended, perfect. of course i've been following everything, i'm a big fan of our sport, i'm watching all the races, it has been fun to watch will stop every race has been exciting. maybe better than the last few years even, the racing, more mixed up, more people can win, great battle between ferrari and mercedes. you never know who is going to get there. i still think mercedes is so impressive that i think they must win this year, they have also got two drivers who can win. ferrari just have one at the moment, but ferrari is putting up an incredible challenge so we will see. rosberg, of course, will not be involved in this weekend's british grand prix at silverstone, where we had the first two practice sessions today. this year's race comes with the news this week that silverstone has activated a break clause to stop

hosting the race in 2019, citing financial losses from running the grand prix. james burridge reports. camping for the british grand prix at silverstone is an institution if you are a fan but behind the baked beans and the beers there is real concern, that this institution might be over in 2019. this is a great circuit and a great event, happy people, great setup, you meet people from all over the world, save it, for goodness' sake of the clearly people are prepared to travel for this circuit and there must be some way to come up with a deal. please. this was the first formula 1 world championships race at silverstone in 1950, the dawn of a new era in motorsport, and silverstone now say the 21st—century version is unaffordable but that a deal can be struck. liberty media what a grand

prix in the united kingdom and ideally at silverstone and the british racing drivers club love hosting f1 at silverstone said this isa hosting f1 at silverstone said this is a good starting point for any negotiation and we will carry this on behind closed doors because that is what both parties want. we will try to get a solution, we don't want to stop doing this, we love it. one thing is certain, the police presence, over double the number of police officers on site over the next three days then there were last year, the legacy of the attacks in majesty and london is being keenly felt at silverstone over the next few days —— manchester. felt at silverstone over the next few days -- manchester. there will be more and lose officers and visible firearms and a greater search regime and what that looks like in effect, visible policing on the road that will bring vehicles over before they get to the event, and maybe slower cues coming in through the gates. on the track in free practice it belongs to mercedes and val terry bottas, but the

expedition will be on lewis hamilton, looking for a record equalling fifth win in a rotary ignite his struggling season. —— in a row to reignite. now let's get to trent bridge where england are looking for a good start to the second test against south africa, after a comfortable victory in the opening match. adam wild is our reporter there. how has the opening—day god? —— how has the opening day gone? yes, this match is delicately poised at the end of the first day at trent bridge what south africa will be keen to make amends for that abject collapse at lord's on sunday, and england have their tails up, they have not been beaten here in ten years. it is not a ground opposition players enjoy coming to. a warm welcome at trent bridge, that

is for the fans at least, visiting teams will be all too aware that this hospitality and friendly reception won't stretch as far as them. england were a team with just one thing on their mind, a big victory in the first test and in no mood to let up the pressure, their pace was uncomfortable and unsettling. when james pace was uncomfortable and unsettling. whenjames anderson comes into bowl magic seems to happen, a brilliant catch from liam dawson and that was anderson's 300th wicket on home soil. south africa have a point to prove, no better place to do it, but it wouldn't be here just yet. we place to do it, but it wouldn't be herejust yet. we had place to do it, but it wouldn't be here just yet. we had a place to do it, but it wouldn't be herejust yet. we had a breakthrough for stuart broad, business resumed, well, not quite, amla was finding the form which has eluded south africa in this series and this took him toa africa in this series and this took him to a half—century and quinton de kock follow shortly after, but then there was a breaking concentration, alastair cook making up for an

earlier dropped. and then the key wicket, amla threatening to break loose puck coming up short, and now things were really beginning to fall england's way. faf du plessis athletically caught behind him, and bathroom are also fell into the clu bs bathroom are also fell into the clubs ofjonny bathroom are also fell into the clubs of jonny bairstow. bathroom are also fell into the clubs ofjonny bairstow. patients paying off and the game was intriguingly poised. —— town above it has been heavy going for it england ever since the 300th wicket forjames anderson. in them will be hoping to get into bat tomorrow and then they will be able to see how inhospitable they have been here on day one. from trent bridge to the olympic park now. the world para athletics

championships get under way this evening. it's set to be their most well attended championships ever, with plenty of british medal chances. 0ur correspondent andy swiss is there for us. it is the start of what promises to be the biggest world para athletic chapping chips ever, more than a quarter of a million tickets already sold —— championships. that is more than all previous seven combine, which is a great achievement. it was here in 2012 that so many of the paralympic stars for great britain first made their name, among them the blade runner, richard whitehead, he won gold in the 200 metres, and this could be his final appearance on the track. my colleague has been to meet him. it is a gold for whitehead. it was one of the iconic moments on the london 2012 paralympic games. i will always remember the feeling when i came off

the bend in 2012, it was like a jet engine pulling me through to the finish line and that is why i did the gun salute which i'm remembered for. what does feel like be back in london? does it bring back memories? yes, it's a time where you think, it was a great point in my career, and i'm lucky enough to be successful. to be honest, when you get back here you go, was that me? unbeaten in the 200 metres since, he returns to the stadium for the world championships which could be his final race in great britain vest. it will be a emotional if this is my last ever raise, and when i talk to friends and family they say keep going, but i would like to finish at the top. would double gold be enough to finalise his decision? earlier this year he was very close to the world

record in the 100 metres. when you see me train you don't see a paralympic athlete, you just see an athlete who is focused on delivering athlete who is focused on delivering a plan, and last year even though i got gold and silver in riyadh, that was a bit disappointing with the 100 metres —— in rio. i'm trying to make that right in london. regardless of what he decides, there is no doubt about the legacy he has had on paralympic sport. when i had a conversation with the director at the time, they said i was too old for athletics, but look where i am, it shows that anything is possible. whether you have a disability or not, everyone has a talent and it is about reaching that. richard is not the only athlete out to prove he is still at the top of his game, medallists from 2012 make up a significant part of this year's team hoping they can inspire a nation once again. richard whitehead goes in the 200

metres tomorrow. we also have hannah cockroft in action. and now to centre court, roger federer is going to be very happy, straight sets victory for him over tomas berdych will stop wrapped up in the last few minutes. i'm fortunate the tomas berdych, it was brokenjust minutes. i'm fortunate the tomas berdych, it was broken just twice minutes. i'm fortunate the tomas berdych, it was brokenjust twice in the match but those are the margins against a player who is perhaps considered the greatest of all time —— unfortunately. roger federer will be going for his eighth title here, that would be a record to go one in front of pete sampras. it would be a 19th grand slam. he will be facing cilic in the showpiece on sunday. roger federer into the men's singles final once again. from east london to west london now.

the floyd mayweather conor mcgregor road show has rolled into the uk. they've been doing media in america and canada ahead of theirfight in las vegas next month. 0ur sports news correspondent richard conway is at today's event at wembley arena. you might be able to hear the background, thousands of fans waiting to get into wembley arena and they are singing the name of one man, colin mcgregor. he has been around the world this week, promoting this mega— fight between them but there is some discussion about the merits of this fight and whether it is simply about money and if it is simply a financial event and how much of a sporting contest it will truly be, but for the fans they have one thing on their mind and they think it will be a great fight and and they think it will be a great fightand a and they think it will be a great fight and a great chance for mcgregor to go up against one of the greatest boxers of all time floyd mayweather. 49 and zero is his

record and he has said all this week that he will defend that record and he will emerge victorious. mcgregor feels differently and we will hear how he intends to win on the 26 of august. now let's turn our attention to stage 13 of the tour de france. and it was an important one for britain's chris froome. the three time winner and reigning champion lost the lead of the race yesterday, with the yellow jersey passing to fabio aru. drew savage has this on froome's attempt to get it back today. you don't often see this, chris froome in white rather than yellow, six seconds behind fabio aru, but with a long way to go until paris, plenty of time to make that up, and there are worse places in the high mountains of the pyrenees to swoop on your parade. team sky with a two pronged attack. it was a breakaway at the front with alberto contador, and chris froome keptjabbing away at the back to fabio aru. action for

the fans to enjoy on bastille day, the fans to enjoy on bastille day, the national day of france, the home favourite joined the breakaway and he led over the last climb. the race leaders would not catch them, chris froome and ten one fought it out but neither could gain an advantage for top —— fabio aru. team sky's position was strengthened. fabio aru followed chris froome across the line and so the accounting keeps his six second lead and we will see if he has the legs to make it all the way to paris —— and so the italian. it was quite a great feeling, to have to go out there and try to race for the win. as opposed to race defensively and having the pressure of defending thejersey, defensively and having the pressure of defending the jersey, it felt nice to have the shoe on the other foot. and now we have football. starting with a big match in belfast where linfield are taking

on celtic in a champions league qualifier. the match was moved to friday, so it didn't clash with the marching season, and celtic declined to take up their ticket allocation amid safety concerns. the game kicked off at five o'clock, and the visitors were 2—0 up after half an hour with goals from scott sinclair and tom rogic. just a few minutes left in the match now. manchester city have completed the signing of tottenham's kyle walker. the initialfee is £115 million, but could rise to £50, making him one of the world's costliest defenders. walker has signed a five year deal at the etihad. the football association has charged the former sutton united goalkeeper wayne shaw with breaching betting rules after he ate a pie during the fa cup defeat to arsenal. it later emerged he had been offered odds by a bookmaker to do so. he's been charged with intentionally influencing a football betting market and improper conduct. it's been a difficult few weeks for rory mcilroy,

he's been struggling for form and looks likely to miss the cut at the scottish 0pen. the world number four had a chance for a birdie for the final hole, you can see his frustration. if things on the leaderboard stay as they are he won't make it through to day three, for the third time in the last four tournaments. now a couple of weeks of aquatic action awaits as the world championships get under way in budapest. first up, attention will focus on the diving. 0lympic champions jack laugher and chris mears will be competing, as will tom daley. he won a synchronised bronze in rio, but also suffered the biggest disappointment of his career by missing out on the individual final. he has considered quitting the sport but is for now battling on. nick hope has been to meet him. tom daley has no little other than success in a dazzling career of world, european and commonwealth titles, as one that rather brilliant bronze at london 2012 and that made his elimination at rio such a shock. that is it, unbelievable. if i love

back on it now it is very frustrating but i can't waste energy being frustrated about what has already happened, what is done is done and i need to focus on what i can do now to make sure it doesn't happen again —— if i look back. can do now to make sure it doesn't happen again -- ifi look back. has getting married help you move on? when i look back to the year after the olympics, 2013 was a year when i struggled with my diving and i never wa nted struggled with my diving and i never wanted to get back into it, but after 2016 i had so many things to look forward to, getting married was a highlight, and i have not had the post—0lympic blues like i did in 2012. this will be tom daley's fifth world championships and although he is only 23, after a decade of throwing himself on the ten metre platform it is impacting his body and he is —— has needed to have operations on his hips and back. sometimes my body is like, that's enough, we need to start winding

down, and sometimes i'm like, i'm feeling good, ready to go for another ten years. being able to go there and do well at the world championships will help me feel a bit more like i've achieved what i wa nted bit more like i've achieved what i wanted to achieve. tom davies has all the achieved so much but he aims to bow out at the very top in tokyo at the olympics in three years' time —— tom daley. thatjourney is lightly to be the toughest of his career and it begins in budapest —— likely. you're up to date witjh all the sports news, so let's get back to matters here, and that women's final tomorrow. venus williams, at the age of 37, takes on spain's garbine muguruza, looking to become the oldest ladies singles champion in more than a century. it would also be her first grand slam title since she won here in 2008. we got the views of former champion marion bartoli on tomorrow's match. venus is one of my best friends

along with serena and so i will root for her but i have been happy to see muguruza playing much better, getting herself, the french open champion out of her, and she has moved on, she's more freely, the way she is playing on the court. she adores tennis again, because she seemed too much under pressure before, but now she has fought back. but at 37, venus wins can win her sick wimbledon and i would love that story. —— venus williams can win her six wimbledon title and i would love that story. let's return to the action on the courts today now and british interest in the wheelchair singles is over. alfie hewett is out after world number one gustavo fernandez came from behind to book his place in the final. hewett took the first set but the argentine won the second on a tie break before winning

the deciding set 6—3. he'll face last year's runner up stefan 0lsson in the final. he's in doubles actions now with gordon reid. there was disappointment in the ladies doubles for britain's lucy shuker and her german partner sabine ellerbrook. they were beaten in straight sets 6—4, 6—1. jordanne whiley and her partner yui kamiji are bidding for a place in the final now. we're just about out of time on wimbledon sportsday but we'll leave with a quite incredible shot from the wheelchair singles. this is the rather unbelievable moment during gustavo fernandez‘s victory over alfie hewett, he throws his racquet at the ball and still manages to win the point in their semifinal match. thanks forjoining us. we will be back with more amazing shots at the same time tomorrow evening. it will be warm for most of us but also looking little doubt. we're not expecting it to rain all the time but we are prepared for some rain

especially in the course of saturday and this is where the rain is coming in from the north west. it has been affecting north—western parts of the uk, yesterday we had some rain, and to the south of it it is dry, but with the rain comes a mass of thick cloud and humidity from the atlantic, so quite a warm night, 15 degrees. and tomorrow, overcast, especially in the west, lots of hill fog, especially wales and the lake district, maybe brighter to the east of the pennines. sunday is a better day, especially in the north, it will brighten up and feel fresh, temperatures will fall, but a decent day and still warm and muggy in the south. this is bbc news.
