was down to three. not for long, though. soon it was the shane show — lowry back to his best, and how the crowd loved it. with conditions bordering on the farcical, his only challenger, tommy fleetwood, saw his hopes slipp away and from there, it was a march to glory, lowry lapping up the moment before a tap in for triumph. portrush could start the party, and after embracing his wife and daughter, he paid tribute to his parents. what can i say, my mum and dad... they sacrificed so much for me when i was younger and i'm so happy i can hand them this trophy tonight. and 150 miles south at his home club in esker hills, the celebrations were also in full swing — for them and their star player, an unforgettable day.

at one point were down by six goals but then they started to find their rhythm. the cool heads of new zealand letting the pressure of the australians in but in the end, the experienced new zealanders managed to hold on and in an epic finish, they won the match 52 goals to 51. huge celebrations for the silver ferns who many thought were not the ones to watch at this competition but they proved everybody wrong and one the netball world cup. let's hear from the new zealand team. it's a bit ofa hear from the new zealand team. it's a bit of a dream to be honest, and a fairy tale, but really proud and overwhelmed and i'm not too sure about words that describe how i am currently feeling butjust immense pride and knowing that like normal, everybody has done a lot of work for us everybody has done a lot of work for us to get to this space but i don't know what display —— say, it's amazing. the bronze medal match saw

england take on south africa but it seems that already met in the group stages which saw england beat south africa on that occasion and today, england went one better by beating south africa by 16 goals in the end, clearly recovering from the disappointment of losing in the semi—final to new zealand. they came out much more and the shooting was on point and they saw the match out 58 goals to 42, a great redemption for the team who were hugely disappointed not to be in that gold medal match. they can take a bronze medal match. they can take a bronze medal here in liverpool, not that they hoped for but they are definitely not too disappointed to have a metal around their necks. let's hear from the england have a metal around their necks. let's hearfrom the england camp after the match. sometimes it's about more than a metal, that's what this journey has been, about more than a metal, that's what thisjourney has been, notjust standing up there but going about it, the atmosphere, enjoying the journey and right now it is just an overwhelming sense of pride that i have for my team. so that's it from

liverpool, it really has been the greatest netball world cup to date with record numbers of tickets sold in this arena being packed our day after day. new zealand may be the new world cup holders but the sport of netball is the real champion here. it finds itself on a platform like never before and some are saying, this is just like never before and some are saying, this isjust the like never before and some are saying, this is just the start of the netball. simon yates won stage 15 of the tour de france as the reigning champion geraint thomas gained time on the overall leader julian alaphilippe. it's britain yates' second victory of this year's tour as he finished 33 seconds ahead of thibaut pinot in second. alaphillipe retains the yellow jersey — but thomas gained 27 seconds on him as the frenchman struggled up the climb. thomas lost time on saturday but a better performance means he remains in the hunt to retain the title when the riders resume on tuesday after a rest day. so let's have a look at the general classification. alaphilippe's lead cut to just over a minute and a half

while thibaut pinot moves up to 11th in the overall standings and is now just 15 seconds behind thomas. australia have retained the women's ashes as the final day of the test match petered out into a draw. england avoided the follow—on and declared on 275—9, but they couldn't tear through the australian batting line—up, which finished on 230—7. henry morean was watching in taunton in south—west england. it always seemed likely on this fourth day that a draw would be the outcome of this game. a lot of time was lost on the second day, and a result seemed implausible. england did get past the follow on target, and they declared to see if they could try to get early wickets that would create a result in this game. a couple of wickets fell in one over, that piqued a bit of interest for england, as laura marsh got the openers, healy and haynes, but perry, what a series she's had, made another half—century as australia batted through the afternoon and into the evening. and eventually, got australia of the draw they needed to retain the ashes. three to follow this match, if england win all of them, they will at least level the series on points, but it won't to be good enough

to reclaim the trophy. australia having won the last competition, well, they guarantee with this draw, that they will be taking that trophy back to australia. great britain's adam peaty has become the first man to swim the 100 metres breaststroke in under 57 seconds — breaking his own world record with a time of 56 point 88 seconds. the 24—year—old has dominated both the 100 metres and 50 metres in recent years, setting the 1a best times in the 100 metres breaststroke. his new record came in the semi—finals of the world championships in south korea. i kinda just stayed to ground, used my support teams, i had a real advantage and i've been in the finest form of an athlete i've ever beenin finest form of an athlete i've ever been in and hopefully the finest person i've been trying to get back to the sport and trying to some around the edges but kind of getting into manhood now so i'm not an

hello. it has been a bit of a mixed weekend weatherwise but as we head through this coming week, it's going to be all eyes on the temperature because things are turning increasingly hot and humid too. not dry for all of us. some rain in the north—west during the course of monday and later in the week, we're expecting some thundery downpours to develop. and the reason for the heat and humidity is that we've got high pressure sitting to the east of the uk, with the winds rotating around that, drawing in all this hot air from continental europe, and it is particularly hot. in fact, in paris, we could see temperatures up

to 42 celsius later this week, which would break the all—time temperature record recorded in the french capital. we've had this line of cloud and weather fronts pouring in from the atlantic during sunday night and through the day on monday, they're going to be bringing further rain, initially across northern ireland the west of scotland. south, a mild and quite a murky start to your monday morning so quite a lot of that low cloud, lingering around western hills and coasts through the day but elsewhere, cloud should tend to in and break across much of england, northern ireland too. rain pushing its way northwards, so sitting across western scotland for much of the day were it will be quite heavy and persistent but in the sunshine, temperatures up to 28 or 29 degrees. it'll feel pleasantly hot monday afternoon and monday evening, eventually lose that wet weather from the north of scotland, lingering through the course of the night, but by tuesday morning, most of us dry with clear spells, a bit of patchy cloud here and there and temperatures from the word go will be in the mid—to—high teens so through the day on tuesday, probably the driest day of the week across the uk. lots of long spells of sunshine with a southerly breeze, top temperatures by tuesday towards the south—east up to about 33 or even 3a degrees. north—west, we're looking at those temperatures into the mid or possibly high 20s so a hot sunny day

with light winds on tuesday but as we had to tuesday night, it's going to be fairly warm, fairly uncomfortable for sleeping. in fact, about 10pm, temperatures still nearly 30 degrees so you'll certainly notice that things are going to feel pretty sticky through the course of tuesday night and with all that humidity, heavy showers and thunderstorms are possible, they're likely to push northwards tuesday night and through the course of wednesday, some uncertainty about where they are going to be, probably the north and west. the south—east likely to stay dry through the day on wednesday and here, temperatures could well reach about 32 degrees or so. again, it is another hot day for most of us but a little fresher in the far north—west. things heat up later in the week. 35 in london on thursday but watch for more heavy and thundery showers, mainly in the north—west.
