johanna konta misses out on becoming the first british woman to reach a grand slam final. she was beaten today in the last four of the french 0pen. i feel very comfortable, and sure of the fact they did the best i could. i'm 750 metres away at the park to france where the women's world cup is set for kick—off. i'm in sunny neath, where only a few days' time england will meet scotland in their first world cup match. also coming up, pakistan and sri lanka at the cricket world cup, it was a damp squib in bristol abandoned because of the rain. and we arejoined in abandoned because of the rain. and we are joined in the studio by england's all—time record test wicket taker, james anderson.

what a day to be in paris, the women's world cup will be underway in 90 minutes time, well be live there ahead of that shortly but first the disappointing news that british number 0nejohanna konta has been knocked out of the french open in the semi finals., beaten in straigt sets by the czech teenager marketa vondrousova. lets take you live to roland garros and speak to the bbc‘s tennis correspondent russell fuller. she had the weight of making history on her shoulders, but she had opportunity to be in that final, johanna konta? she had a great opportunity today, and in both said she led by five games to three. she had three set points, and having played with great purpose up until that point you could see that her clarity of thought was not as strong as it had been. he shot selection went awry.

she couldn't take the opportunities and took the first set, seven, five. she was five, three down in the second set. this was her third opportunity to win a grand slam semifinal. the first two were against angelique gerber and venus williams. clearly, the occasion got tojohanna williams. clearly, the occasion got to johanna konta, williams. clearly, the occasion got tojohanna konta, she had the expectations of being the favourite. she was hugely frustrated that this opportunity slip by. the third grand slam semifinalfor johanna konta, on a third different surface, is she still improving? she's got lots to be very proud of. this run of play has been astonishing. she was in danger of slipping out of the top 50 in rabat at the end of april, and has won 15 matches on the surface, when she won

seven in her entire career it says how amazingly she has played. she will be a top 20 player come monday. that is a stepping stone into the grass of wimbledon. his season has been transformed, she is in the top ten players on ranking alone this year. a big missed opportunity. i hope you can put this behind her and continue herform on the grass. hope you can put this behind her and continue her form on the grass. yes, just to tie up the manif you will. rafael nadal in this weepy side of roger federer. he will play the winner of novak djokovicjack of h and his opponent. they've been hampered by the weather behind you. these are the conditions the players have been dealing with today. it was damp and cold for the women's, and the men this afternoon have had winds between a0 and 50 mph. it was farcical at times.

winds between a0 and 50 mph. it was farcicalat times. federer winds between a0 and 50 mph. it was farcical at times. federer has had an amazing season. farcical at times. federer has had an amazing season. he pushed no doubt all the way. nadal fought back. a 12th in for him at roland garros. the match between novak djokovicjack and dominic t was suspended just after six o'clock this evening, one set all. there was a rain interruption which had them off court. plate was called off, with 3500 daylight still amazing. it's gloomy and windy and everyone is wondering why they aren't playing, by they have to finish the match later tomorrow. thank you very much. it's very windy in the french capital. just down the road from roland garros is the women's football world cup, which kicks off later this evening. france will take on south korea with england facing scotla nd on south korea with england facing scotland in their opening game on

sunday. sarah is in paris for us. how is this building ahead of the opening ceremony? how is this building ahead of the ' 7 how is this building ahead of the opening ceremony? i don't know if you can hear over to the my right, there is a pretty rowdy band of french supporters outside the stadium. we are 90 minutes away from kick—off of the women's world cup opener here in france. the hosts will take on south korea in their bid to win the title on home soil. the men's team did that back in 1998. france last won the men's tournament last year, so if the women were to win here they would become the first nation to hold both titles. there is plenty of pressure on them. they are front—page news on every newspaper this morning with plenty of built up in the media and it will be interesting to see how they deal with that on the pitch

tonight. interesting, sarah that organisers have been criticised for what is perceived to be a lack of promotion, which is something to do with the turn is taking place down the road. have you noticed that? it is, we were struck by that, we've beenin it is, we were struck by that, we've been in paris since tuesday. there was no banding of billboards, posters, not an awful lot at all really around paris. i saw stuff for the tennis and the men's football and the underground and metro in paris, but nothing for the women until you come out of the stadium and the accreditation centres. there have been plenty of coverage in the media. i know that the france coach was asked about this in her press conference yesterday and she said she hadn't noticed much branding, but may be the other host cities, there are nine cities hosting, being smaller than paris may have invested a little bit more than that.

just, finally, the defending champions, the usa are the team that everybody is fearing in france. absolutely, but i have to say this world cup is probably the most wide open we have seen. world cup is probably the most wide open we have seen. everybody is finding it very difficult to pick a winner, because the usa, come in as defending champions, but they struggled at the olympics in rio. their defence is creaky in comparison to four years ago. germany won gold in rio, but they have gone through various cycles. and a different coach since then, and we don't know where they are at. france have gone out of the quarterfinal stage in the last four tournaments. england haven't had the build results they wanted in the lead up to this, but they are being mentioned and maybe they will be similarto mentioned and maybe they will be similar to pay beds like japan, 2011 winners, canada, australia, it really is wide—open. that's a real

market as to how many other nations have caught up with the traditional heavyweights of the women's game. we leave sarah in the parisian showers and wind and travel 600 miles south to the hopefully sunnier climes of nice where we find jane ahead of england versus scotland on sunday. that looks much better. phil neville has focused on making the squad as professional as possible, this is a tournament that england go into is one of the favourites? yes, certainly one of the favourites and justifiably so, they are currently ranked third in the world can they come off the back of winning some silverware in march to the she believes trophy on home turf. so phil neville has certainly brought professionalism to the squad, he's brought them a little further forward tactically, and has done that by bringing through some

exciting new talent including the likes of leo williamson, who plays her club football with, and against, many members of the scotland squad. i spoke to her a little earlier and she said that she felt sunday's match wasn't something she could call, because she feels that scotla nd call, because she feels that scotland are something of an unknown entity in this tournament. there was a time when england were miles ahead, you've seen how far wales pushed us in qualification, and scotland, now, getting to the world cup is an unbelievable achievement for them. when they qualified i was so happy for them. i see that they've come on a journey and i'm happy that they get to experience this. they are amazing players who deserve to be on the stage. but since they draw i'm not sure how i feel about them being here! scotla nd here! scotland are in a very difficult to cope with england, japan and argentina, but they have been winning games and are an unknown entity. they'll be confident, one

day, with this? definitely. statistically, group d is the teva scoop in the competition. scotland have been playing very well. they beat brazil one nil, the only scottish squad to ever do that. and they very narrowly lost to the world number ones, the usa. so they have been playing well, and because england are ranked 17 places above them in the rankings, they are favourites. when it comes to the old enemy statistics go out the window, don't they? this sport has developed considerably, and it's very different to the last time the two sides match two years ago, scotla nd two sides match two years ago, scotland now have a fully fit squad, which they didn't, previously. they are something of an unknown entity. a little earlier i spoke tojo love, one of the most experienced members of the squad with 191 caps. this is her first world cup, of the squad with 191 caps. this is herfirst world cup, and she of the squad with 191 caps. this is her first world cup, and she says this suit scotland, being the

underdog. in our opinion we don't have anything to lose. england will probably be feeling the pressure. the fact that they are favourites. they are probably favourites to go on and do very well in the whole competition. we are just going to go m, competition. we are just going to go in, give it our all come and see what results we get. they will be a party atmosphere on the riviera on sunday, want their? what about the mood in both camps ahead of this tasty fixture? yes, i think ever since the draw it there has been a lot of anticipation and excitement towards this match, there always is. it's a derby match, really, isn't it? i spent time in both camps and the mood amongst players is, bring it on. so many of them play against each other or with each other at club football, so there's a lot of banter flying back and forth between certain players. leo williamson made reference to that today. there's a lot at stake

here, it's not just that today. there's a lot at stake here, it's notjust about getting through the group stages, its bagging rights to. that's jane live in nice. don't forget bbc sport have extensive coverage of the tournament across television, radio and online. we have live coverage of every match from the group stages all the way through to the final. tonight's opening game is live on bbc one as well as england scotland on sunday. today coventry have revealed they will be ground sharing with birmingham city for the 2020 season after failing to birmingham city for the 2020 season afterfailing to agree birmingham city for the 2020 season after failing to agree a deal. the ligue one side hope to remain in coventry and said that the deadline foran coventry and said that the deadline for an agreement with the landlords has passed. in a statement they said a ground she was essential for coventry to retain their place in the english football league. earlier

i spoke to a representative of the sky blue trust. it's been a long battle between the owners of coventry and coventry city council. and more recently, the wasps as well. who are effectively the landlords of the arena. it's come to a head now, due to various different factors. it involves all three different parties, really. they've all got to take some of the brain. we are at an impasse where we are playing at st andrews in birmingham, which, isuppose are playing at st andrews in birmingham, which, i suppose a slightly better than playing in northampton, but it's still not a satisfactory alternative at all. this is not acceptable, in my opinion. there's a lot of people out there that should hang their heads in shame. chelsea have gone to the court of arbitration for sport to appeal their two—window transfer ban. they're not allowed to buy new players until the end

of january next year, and failed with their first appeal to fifa. it's all to do with an investigation into signing foreign players who are under 18. manchester united have agreed a deal "in principle" to sign swansea city's winger danieljames. the 21—year—old wales international has completed a medical and will become 0le gunnar solskjaer‘s first signing since becoming permanent manager at old trafford. the deal is expected to go through when the transfer window opens next week. and efl have announced a new policy which means at least one candidate interviewed when searching for a first—team manager. at the moment there are only three managers in efl. it was a frustrating day in the cricket world cup for pakistan and sri lanka as their match in bristol was abandoned due to rain. steady rain in the west cou ntry mea nt there was no chance of any play.

both sides take a point each and have three points in the tournament so far. england are looking to bounce back from a shock defeat against pakistan when they face bangladesh in cardiff tomorrow. the weather in wales has disrupted play with both players first to move indoors. england remain favourites with plenty of work to do. asjoe wilson reports. after 2pm here in cardiff the sun came out, it makes us optimistic about the prospects for this match. england did a little indoor net session was the rain comes down. the process remains the same. well, the fundamentalfact process remains the same. well, the fundamental fact remains that england last their last game in the world cup. england away, is it harder to deal with defeat? no, it presents a huge opportunity to learn more about your game and

try and improve. there are games when we have been defeated, probably heavily in the past. that's when we've learned the most, because we've learned the most, because we've managed to stay in the game. we've remained in a head space where we believe we can still win. that shows a lot more, to us, in terms of supporters, what they don't see all the time. it's an exciting team come the time. it's an exciting team come the majority of the time. if england are fulfilling the expectation then maybe that is something that bangladesh could exploit. that was the point i put to their captain. there was a little bit of pressure, i know people are expecting that england will be, you know, taking the trophy this time. which is under

pressure, obviously. but i think england players, for us, this is a very important match. and we have to give it our best shot. bangladesh should be feeling confident. they won't have to imagine what it's like to beat england in the world cup, they can remember just four years ago when they knocked england out of the world cup in adelaide. 0ne ago when they knocked england out of the world cup in adelaide. one day fortu nes the world cup in adelaide. one day fortunes have changed dramatically since then but it's still the world cup that counts, and two winds from three is where both of these teams need to be. now we're going to stay with cricket because jimmy anderson joined us in the studio a little earlier. he's been talking tojohn watson about his career in the week that he launched a new book about his life in the sport and beyond. it's great to have you with us. highs and lows in your career. let's ta ke highs and lows in your career. let's take a look at your test wickets,

575, that's an incredible number. did you ever think you'd get to that figure? some of your best figures as well. it's amazing. i still can't really believe it, to be honest. as a kid all i wanted to do was play cricket. it's amazing, and to have achieved what i have, it is still slightly surreal. did you ever think that would be passable, just looking at the highs and lows in your career. the ashes 2006, that must have been a highlight. to lose against australia is always dotted at it always hurts, losing five nil was brutal. it is something that can either make or break you. and having the experience, you know, it really makes you more determined to not let it happen again. it didn't, of course, you turned it

around in 2010, 2011. when you bowled australia out. and went on to win the series. that's one of my favourite days on the cricket field, actually. at the mcg in front of 90,000 people, australia out for 98. you know, it just doesn't get better than that. all the guys who played in that game still talk about it now. and, of course, lots of the ashes start now. hoping to win them back on home soil this summer. a busy summer of cricket. will we do it? i hope so. that's the plan. it is a really busy summer that's the plan. it is a really busy summer of cricket. we've got the world cup at the moment. from my point of view i'm hopeful that we can win this, it will give us momentum, but as a country. i've always been interested to know

that why is it cricketers warm up by playing football. it seems like an injury waiting to happen. it happened to johnny bairstow injury waiting to happen. it happened tojohnny bairstow around you. yes, it's happened a couple of times when i've twisted my ankle. but i don't know. it's a strange thing. it's something that gets the juices flowing. we don't play for long, only five or ten minutes. it's something that the hierarchy are not keen on. but yeah. we get a lot of enjoyment out of it. is there anyone who could play professionally? absolutely not, no. lets talk about this summer, what are england's chances at the world cup, on home soil, a lot of pressure and expectation, how will they do it? i'm hoping that the pakistan game

was a bit of a slip. the fielding wasn't great, something that england have been very good out in recent yea rs, have been very good out in recent years, something that they are one of the best teams in the world on the field. so that was disappointing. but i think they can come back from that. they can come back strongly and i fancy them to go all the way. of all the players involved in the world cup will this help england, or will it be a hindrance? it could be, yeah. i think as the tournament goes on we see players getting fatigued. certainly, the bowlers will be rested. at some stage. i think it can only help the ashes. if england do well in the world cup then taking that forward, you know, that success. it can only help. they will be huge support for england in what is a fascinating and

action packed summer of cricket. great to speak to you, thanks. finally, lewis hamilton led as mercedes dominated the canadian grand prix. mercedes once again looking like strong favourites for this weekend despite being on a track in montreal that should suit ferrari. the canadian grand prix round seven of the formula 1 world championship. i have a former f1 driver with me, this is quite a circuit and drivers love coming here? it's a great race track. it feels like a street the walls are close, there a corner, drivers hit the wall of champions, as i call it. the final turn. this is one everyone enjoys. it's very atmospheric as well. we are just downtown. and the whole city buys into the culture of

formula 1. you can see drivers cycling into the circuit, there is an atmosphere, isn't there, it's fantastic. yes, it's nice. we've been through australia, china, bahrain, europe, canada, the fans here are always so excited. there are so many great races as here are always so excited. there are so many great races as well. the lewis hamilton circuit, there is a lot of support here as well. and he comes in as the favourite with strong performances recently. but the fans just love it. strong performances recently. but the fansjust love it. they strong performances recently. but the fans just love it. they are passionate about formula 1. lewis hamilton has won on the circuit six times, he will beat the record is if he winds again, taking the record of the great michael schumacher. what does he need to do this weekend to continue his winning ways ? this weekend to continue his winning ways? mainly his car to beat his team—mate. he's been really quick this year and even if hamilton beats him on the last two outings qualifying is crucial, as always.

but between those two mercedes there is nothing, so hamilton needs to qualify fastest. you can't discount ferrari, they potentially have a car that better suits the service, but leclaire, may be. but it's hard to call. they do have a new engine as well this weekend and other upgrades as well. they may be more dominant, we can find out over the course of the weekend. it's a beautiful day here, lots of excitement and lots of fa ns here, lots of excitement and lots of fans coming to the track. let's find out what's going to happen across the weekend. going to happen across the weekend. we will have more sporty for you throughout this evening. goodbye from me. the weather is not looking ideal on saturday, but it depends whether you area saturday, but it depends whether you are a glass half—full or half empty

southern parts of england, the midlands, as far north as lincolnshire as well. the kind of gas we get will be reminiscent of autumn. possibly in excess of 50 mph. 0n the south coast itself, a0, a0 five miles per hour on land which is really strong for the time of year. injune we don't get strong gusts of wind. north and east, cloud, occasional showers, the western isles of scotland, tomorrow averaging around 15 or 16 degrees. it does look as though later on saturday the weather will calm down, and for some of us it will be a decent end to the day. here is sunday's weather forecast under the low pressures sunday's weather forecast under the low pressures across sunday's weather forecast under the low pressures across the north sea moving into norway. the weather improves, winds are lighter, more sunshine around. it's not going to be perfectly dry, again, you can see scotland, northern ireland, anne
