no player has lifted a grandslam trophy than raphael nadal has in paris. another piece of history for tennis‘s king of clay. no doubt his throne is under threat by dominic thiem. the austrian, after all, the man to take the first break in the final. but beating rafael nadal in his own backyard must be the toughest task in tennis and if you are slightly off the market, it won't be enough. nadal taking the opening set. the relentless hitting continued but as soon as thiem took his opening, he took it. the first is that he has ever taken off nadal at roland garros. but angering the spaniard can be at dangerous tactic. nadal quickly taking the third set. time and time again, the champion‘s touch just too good. and the fourth was more of the same. a titanic

and things looked ominous. one had to be patient to get to 99 it was made to wait a little longer before his century. shikhar dhawan‘s downfall was where the patient centred and the best batsmen in the world began to make his mark. it wasn't just about virat kohli. he wasn't just about virat kohli. he was ably assisted. and what earlier was ably assisted. and what earlier was on a mess had become 352 runs and the highest total australia conceded at a world cup. work to do. india were never going to make that work easy and it took australia time to get going. when they did, it looked like the crowd might need some shelter but the australian captain needed to keep his concentration. when it faulted, aggression. steve smith tried to pick up the pace of the chase with some success pick up the pace of the chase with some success but when he crucial wicket fell, plenty more followed and hope started to fade. alex carey made a valiant effort with a quickfire half—century but the total was too much and it is india that remain unbeaten. craig templeton,

bbc news. lewis hamilton now holds a 29 point lead in the formula one drivers championship after victory in the canadian grand prix — although sebastian vettel crossed the line first. the ferrari driver was given a five second penalty for this incident on lap 48 when he pushed hamilton wide as he re—joined the track. race stewards decided that vettel had done so "unsafely". the penalty proved costly as vettel crossed the line just 1.3 seconds ahead of hamilton who claimed his fifth victory in seven races although ferrari have submitted their attention to appeal. that is not the way i wanted to win. i was pushing to the end to try and get past but i pushed into an area. i really enjoyed the race, to be honest, i enjoyed the crowd. i love them cheering me on. it was very intense and obviously lewis was a bit quicker throughout the race but we we re bit quicker throughout the race but we were able to stay ahead and yeah, for the rest, i we were able to stay ahead and yeah, forthe rest, ithink we were able to stay ahead and yeah, for the rest, i think i said enough, you should ask the people what they

cycling. the criterion did often on sunday. 32—year—old who writes for tea m sunday. 32—year—old who writes for team dimension took it from philippe gilbert. last year's winner. chris froome finished safely in the peleton. just enough time to let you know that the boston —— boston is up to st louis in the stanley cup final. if they win it, they will win the stanley cup for the first time ever but at the moment, they are losing. hello there. we've got some heavy rain in the forecast over the next few days, particularly targeting parts of england and wales where there's a risk of localised flooding. that rain has already begun to develop across northern france where an area of low pressure has formed. that wet weather moves into east anglia, southeast england
1:56 am
and could be as far west as hampshire by the first part of monday morning. so, something to watch out for. this area of low pressure and this heavy rain is driven by the very big temperature contrast we've got at the moment. with warm, moist air being driven in from north africa, the mediterranean into central europe, that's colliding with much cooler air coming down from polar regions, and it's those temperature contrasts that are making an area of low pressure form and a very active weather front. the amount of rain we get on monday will vary a lot from place to place, but the met office has issued a warning and some areas could see 60 millimetres of rain, which is getting on for a month's worth of rain during the day. there is a risk, then, of some localised surface water flooding and through the day, that wet weather will pour its way westwards into the midlands, eventually reaching western parts of england and wales through the afternoon. for the far north of england, northern ireland and for scotland, the weather will be similar to what we had on sunday. sunshine and a few heavy, thundery, slow—moving showers. the forecast as we go through monday
1:57 am
night is that area of low pressure stays with us, the rain continues to pour down overnight and will last right into tuesday as well. with the heaviest rain likely across northern england, and across wales, too. but there could still be some downpours elsewhere, perhaps some showers coming into parts of the south—east. northern ireland and scotland at this stage staying clear of the worst of the wet weather but quite a bit of high cloud making for some bright conditions. the only real change is with that weather front drifting a little bit further northwards. the risk area where we could get flooding has moved into parts of northeast england as well. and there it stays, really, through tuesday, wednesday, and perhaps into thursday as well. there is some uncertainty how far northwards this band of rain gets on wednesday, it could be that itjust stays across northern england, and doesn't quite reach scotland and northern ireland, so we will be firming up on the details with that. southern england and wales, some very heavy, thundery downpours are quite likely to develop. our area of low pressure stays
1:58 am
with us through to the end of the week, it drifts a bit further westwards and fills, so it becomes a little bit less potent but that doesn't mean we're done with the rain. towards the end of the week, that rain will be arriving across scotland and northern ireland where it still could be pretty heavy. england and wales, prone to seeing some very heavy, thundery downpours that continue to bring the threat of localised surface water flooding. a lot of cloud in the sky, limited brighter spells between these downpours. that's your latest weather.
