hello and welcome to sportsday i'm jane dougall. it's been a day of celebrations as england proudly parade their cricket world cup trophy and let the fans share their glory. such an important if tense victory for england, especially in an ashes year, so what next for this squad and what will be their legacy? four wins from four for tracey neville's england netballers they top the group after beating jamaica in their world cup. also coming up in the programme... i'm nick hope at the world aquatics championships in south korea where tom daley has been looking to secure his place at the tokyo 2020 olympics. find out how he got on later in sportsday. and the pairs for the open at royal portrush have been announced we hear from the defending champion and a famous local.
6:36 pm
hello and welcome to sportsday, i'mjane dougall. it was an historic win at lords, the first time the mens side have won the cricket world cup. the squad have spent the day celebrating and are due to arrive at 10 downing street shortly, where they will meet the prime minister theresa may. we canjoin our sports editor dan roan who is awaiting their arrival. surely one of the greatest matches of all time, how significant was it for england? hugely significant, jane, not just because for england? hugely significant, jane, notjust because of the fact the players have been invited he had to number ten although it does evoke memories of the last time england cricketers were invited here back in
6:37 pm
2005 for that famous ashes winning side, it contained men like freddie fli ntoff, side, it contained men like freddie flintoff, hijinks occurring then, we will have to wait and see whether there is similar hijinks tonight. theresa may prepares to leave downing street, of course, in the coming days. it has been a remarkable 2a hours or so for english cricket. and it bears no comparison with 2005, that game yesterday which was quite unique in its drama and tension, and lets show some of the images from yesterday. not only did the match gets tired but then, incredibly, the super over, as it's known, the version of extra time in cricket, was also tied, and england ended up winning effectively on a technicality in effectively on a technicality in effect because they had scored more boundaries. so they prevailed. there's been today more discussion about whether or not they were
6:38 pm
fortu nate about whether or not they were fortunate because maybe there was an error in the umpiring and the throw of which should be fine. but now england winning the world cup for the first time, the first time they did it. they made it count on home soil. early on today they shared in the glory, their fans were invited to say congratulations, to be part of the celebrations, at the oval. across town from lourdes, home to surrey. and hundreds of young fans, hopefully the next generation of cricketers, were there to surround the england players and you can hopefully see many of them had the opportunity to meet their heroes. and these are the kinds of images english cricket, after a decade or so after a slump in participation numbers has been dreaming of. ladies and gentlemen, will you please open at the icc, the world
6:39 pm
cup champions, england! i don't think it said in yesterday. we knew we won the world cup but i don't think we will for the next couple of days but i think this is the start of it, coming here, seeing the start of it, coming here, seeing the kids, parents and videos online. people in trafalgar square and pubs watching the cricket, and we got the run out. when you see everybody's reaction and you know how much support and following we had, that is when we understood what we did. to be involved in the previous world cup, go through all that, to see the transformation and development of the side of the last four years, to be part of that journey, the side of the last four years, to be part of thatjourney, it's been extremely enjoyable, exciting, we had some great fun on the field, playing in the manner we have, and now enjoy being world champions, it's brilliant. i'm so proud of everyone involved in it, so pleased for eoin, all the hard work he has put in.
6:40 pm
cheering and applause. certainly the final frontier for england in cricket is talking cricket up a lot more rather than the glass half empty, they have a glass half full. so, going forward, hopefully this result helps that. was definitely flying yesterday. probably sunk in a little bit more this morning. just a really great day yesterday, especially sharing it with us. hopefully the players, and it is the players, the way they've played, hopefully they've been able to change a few mine saids. well, dan, watching some of those pictures, the kids were clambering to get near the trophy at a time where participation and attendance has been falling in cricket. how much of an impact will it have on the game in england, especially with an ashes around the corner? that's the big question. your right to mention the timing. the ashes begin
6:41 pm
ina mention the timing. the ashes begin in a short time, and we arejust mention the timing. the ashes begin in a short time, and we are just one year out from the launch of their very controversial new 100 ball competition in which the ecb is investing so much hope that that a tt ra cts investing so much hope that that attracts a new generation of fans to the game, after a decade or so when the game, after a decade or so when the numbers playing cricket have slumped and young audiences have been lost. much of that of course has been blamed on the fact it's not since 2005 that england have played live on free to air television until yesterday, thanks to the deal between the rights holders, sky, and channel 4, and it has to be said the audience figures were very impressive. 8 million was the peak audience on both sky and on channel 1l audience on both sky and on channel 4. and that's a great shop window. the ecb hopes it will act as a ca ta lyst the ecb hopes it will act as a catalyst in springboard and the raw ingredients are there. this is a young, exciting, diverse and likeable england side. there is no reason it can't go on and win a lot more silverware in the future. that is the encouraging thing. when you
6:42 pm
look ahead, apart from the 100, which is part of that deal, there will be two t20 internationals shown on television along with ten matches involving these new franchises, there is no international cricket other than that on free to air television after yesterday. so, the question is whether or not there needs to be more exposure, and the fa ct of needs to be more exposure, and the fact of course that for example the women's world cup in football got a significantly more data make larger viewership. cricket has for too long lacked exposure, we emphasise that. thank you so much, dan. england's director of cricket ashley giles says he is unconcerned at claims england were given an extra run in their world cup win over new zealand. the respected umpire, simon taufel, claimed england were wrongly awarded a run when ben stokes inadvertently deflected the ball off his bat this is the rule that taufel quoted to australian media today. it says england should have been given five runs instead of six,
6:43 pm
as the batsmen had not yet crossed for the second run when the ball was thrown. but giles says it's irrelevant. the trophy is still up there. you could argue, the last bowl that was bold was probably going to be banked out of the ground anyway. we are world champions, we've got the trophy and we intend to keep it.|j bet they do! well, the england squad have talked about the diversity within their ranks and these pictures underline that this was cosmpolitan squad. ben stokes was born in new zealand and his family were in the very awkward position of cheering on england while watching from christchurch. meanwhile, england captain eoin morgan is irish and his family were watching and somewhat unusually for an irish family were also cheering england on. great to see. joffre archer is from
6:44 pm
the caribbean. this helps with the squad. we only have to look at the diversity, eoin morgan the irish captain, moeen ali, they've have achieved remarkably to win the world cup and the manner in which they played for four years, we have cup and the manner in which they played forfour years, we have been following them and so engaged with how they play the game. yesterday, they had to dig deep because it was against the natural grain of playing aggressively because the pitch wouldn't allow them to do that. that was was going to be the test for the england side. when they got onto a pitch which was not what they would like, they could smack it into the stands, could they play? it isn't an ugly stands, could they play? it isn't an way stands, could they play? it isn't an t stands, could they play? it isn't an ugly way but it is a different way than they like to play. yesterday they dug deep in character to play they dug deep in character to play the way they did, to get over the line in the end. to havejust a
6:45 pm
little 1% go the do to make their way. the first ball of the wayjust went encompass my great, that ball that hit ben stokes apostrophe bat, no idea what the percentage chance of that to happen is but i've never seen things like what we saw yesterday. lourdes, 30,000 singing songs. 30,000 on theirfeet yesterday. lourdes, 30,000 singing songs. 30,000 on their feet singing sweet caroline. kids chanting tour to make this team have an incredible opportunity to inspire, but they are young, they are a team that'll stay together for a few years, a couple of them might not be there in four yea rs' of them might not be there in four years' time but the majority of this tea m years' time but the majority of this team arejust years' time but the majority of this team are just at the start of what could be a very long journey in england team. it's been a busy day at the netball world cup in liverpool with the home nations
6:46 pm
all in action. northern ireland lost and scotland are currently trailing south africa, but england are top of their group after beating jamaica. kate gray is there for us. yes, it was a matchup most people thought would be the final of this tournament. to make a loss to south africa yesterday which meant they went head—to—head with england today. these two teams meeting, it saw as a fascinating fixture but england with the home crowd behind them definitely went out for a big win. and they lived up to expectations, they went out fighting in the first half. it was neck and neckin in the first half. it was neck and neck in the early stages but in the second half england meant business and they pulled away from the second seeds jamaica to eventually win the match 56—48, really lighting up this serena and tracey neville's rose is really proving she means business at this tournament. let's get a full round—up of that match. after yesterday's men's cricket it's
6:47 pm
a great time to be an england fan. lords on sunday, liverpool on monday for england's netball key group game againstjamaica, for england's netball key group game against jamaica, their tougher so far. the roses took full advantage ofa far. the roses took full advantage of a slow jamaica following their shock defeat to south africa yesterday. play. jamaica relied on janine fowler to bring them back into the game and they came out fighting taking the lead for the first time in the second half. janine had a 100% scoring percentage. that wasn't enough to keep them in the game. the perfect partnership for england roses lead to 43-46. the partnership for england roses lead to 43—46. the final quarter, the final chance for the sunshine girls. they desperately tried to find fowler but their hopes of a victory we re fowler but their hopes of a victory were slipping. the roses continued their domination even in the final seconds to take the victory 56—48. now that celebration says it all. we
6:48 pm
knew this was going to be a tough game, four games knew this was going to be a tough game, fourgames in knew this was going to be a tough game, four games in a row, we knew jamaica after yesterday were going to be coming for this winter we knew this was going to be one of the toughest games of this round. really pleased with the girls. you talk about here is on the court, and we had seven on the court today and four on the bench. that's right, they were heroes on the court and they celebrated like they almost won the tournament but they almost won the tournament but they are looking in great shape moving forward, looking likely to go on to the semifinals. it wasn't such a case for northern ireland and scotland. we've just seen this got the match come to an end behind me. they were up against really tough opponents, south africa, who have been on form at this tournament and proving too strong for the scots in the end, south africa winning 68—34. sorry, 66—38, ijust checked the scoreboard behind me! scotland showing some real fight and scoreboard behind me! scotland showing some realfight and it scoreboard behind me! scotland showing some real fight and it was also the same fate for northern
6:49 pm
ireland earlier today, a slightly closer match come up against malawi. they lost that match only by four in the end, not quite able to keep up with the pace of the african nation but really holding their head high, knowing they gave a top team a good run for their money. unfortunately that means northern ireland and scotla nd that means northern ireland and scotland will probably feature out of the top eight of this tournament which is disappointing particular for scotland, who are ranked seventh in this tournament but they will reboot and move on to the next part of it. the news here is that england are looking very good in this tournament. thanks very much, kate. to south korea now where tom daley and matty lee have won bronze at the world diving championships, securing their place at the 2020 olympics. the british pair held off a late challenge from ukraine to take the final podium position in the ten metres sycronised event. nick hope is in south korea for us. the world championships a year before the olympics are always fascinating because it is at this
6:50 pm
stage we get a sense of who are going to be the stars for the next games and things are looking rather promising for british diving. jackal and dan goodfellow winning silver on saturday and now tom daley, some ten yea rs saturday and now tom daley, some ten years after his first world championship title, is still winning three medals. he wasjust 15 championship title, is still winning three medals. he was just 15 when championship title, is still winning three medals. he wasjust 15 when he won individual gold at rome 2009 and a decade on, tom daley is still one of the world's best divers. he and his new synchro partner have forged an impressive partnership despite only paring up late last year. after a stunning fourth round dive today, an error in the fifth saw them slip from second to third but a brilliant final routine secured bronze and, crucially an olympic place at tokyo 2020. china's limbic champions took gold ahead of russia. tom daley returns for the individual competition later in the week. this will championships a year before the olympic games, i've not been in the position where i've had a synchro partner via before an olympics to
