iam i am live at edgbaston where a spectacular start for england is turning into a ratherfrustrating finish. charley hull is looking comfortable at her home course — she's two shots off the lead on the first day of the british open at woburn. and together again — the murray brothers double up to claim victory in washington. also coming up in the programme... the row over drugs cheats with previous bans intensifies after swimming's governing body says it won't allow protests from other athletes. hello and welcome to sportsday. first, a dream start to the ashes for england at edgbaston.

australia won the toss and chose to bat, and that's where it started to go wrong for them. with crys of "cheat" ringing out from the crowd, cameron bancroft and david warner opened the batting, but they didn't last long. adam wilde has been watching a fascinating first day. after a ll fascinating first day. after all the excitement, all the anticipation for this, the first day of this ashes series, it certainly lived up to the hype. it has been a dramatic first day, in many ways a day of two halves. the first very much belonged to england, dominant this morning. this afternoon things have swung in the favour of australia. let me talk through the story of the day. australia's

batsman won the toss. david warner got a rough reception, as you would expect, given his and cameron ba ncroft‘s expect, given his and cameron bancroft‘s part in the ball tampering the scandal. 83—3 at lunch. australia looked in trouble. after lunch the wickets continued to fall. 0ne after the other, the wheels really came off for australia's batting line—up. but there has been a saving grace. steve smith, the former captain. he has been quite extraordinary. it seems a long time ago those pictures of him in tears at the press conference when he was stripped of the captaincy following the ball tampering scandal. he had a point to prove and he has proven it today. 144 not out. i have heard people saying it is one of the great test

innings. we have heard a wicket has just gone down. more news on that in a moment but that suggests it is the end of australia's innings. confirmation in a moment. let me bring in england legend phil tufnell. extraordinary day. steve smith, what a story. australia reeling, 122—8 on 42 and then so frustrating for england, they threw everything at it but he has just holed australia into a position where they can go out there. we could easily lose a couple of wickets. what a momentum shifting innings from steve smith. we still don't know how to get him out, been playing against him for 11 years!

let's go through the day. extraordinary start for england. decent extraordinary start for england. d ece nt toss extraordinary start for england. decent toss to win for australia, there was cloud cover, their pitch looked pretty dry. england came out there, stuart broad, chris woakes, there, stuart broad, chris woakes, the bold —— they went out and bold beautifully. then steve smith does what he does, we don't know how to get him out. i think it will go down in his pile of test 100s as one of the most satisfying. and real redemption for a player, what a turnaround in fortunes. and itjust looks so simple. he missed a couple of great deliveries for stuart broad. at the end of the day we had

eve ryo ne broad. at the end of the day we had everyone on the boundary, how embarrassing. nine wickets down. what can you do? england will be pulling their hair out. they have got into a decent position, bowling wail, but it will be turning in the players' stomachs tonight. and bad news aboutjimmy anderson. players' stomachs tonight. and bad news about jimmy anderson. we have missed him. more work for the other seam bowlers. 0nly missed him. more work for the other seam bowlers. only four overs from james anderson. he has had that calf problem. he went for a scan at lunchtime and we haven't seen him since. and the bowlers picking up the slack have struggled. it becomes a long day when your main guys in

the dressing room with his calf wrapped in ice or whatever. they we re wrapped in ice or whatever. they were doing so well but that knock by steve smith will go down in australian ashes history. it might even be a defining moment on the first day. appreciate that. you can hear phil tufnell and bbc tms this series. it has been an extraordinary day. and confirmation there. steve smith bowled out on 144 by stuart broad. in the women's game, there are concerns for england after a disappointing ashes, which saw them lose 12—4 to australia in the multi—format series. their only victory was in the final t20 last night at bristol to restore some pride. patrick gearey reports.

such as australia's dominance of women's cricket that even when they lose, they win. last night despite being beaten they lifted the ashes. england could only claim the dying embers. yesterday they lost 12—4. england could only claim the dying embers. yesterday they lost 12—4m is hard. we are all hurting. planning, a lot of effort, commitment, hard work from everybody concerned, players especially. here we are. we haven't achieved anything like what we wanted to do. this was england in happier times. they won like the world cup in large. how did they go from downing street to crushing defeat in two years? key players lost form and confidence and there will be questions about ca pta i ns there will be questions about captains heather knight and coach

mark robinson but is there a deeper reason for the aussie dominance? difficult to tell from the ashes itself. australia have around 100 professional players, england only have 20. we have heard about investment in the domestic game in england but you feel it is about five years behind the australians. the england and wales cricket board aim to invest £50 million in the women's game but they are playing catch up. women's cricket in australia has been given a big boost by the big bash, a league which helped develop a bigger playing pool helped develop a bigger playing pool. we get well supported by the ecb but we need investment underneath, a better structure with more players etc. they have been ahead of us for a number of years with that and it is bearing fruit.

hopefully the investment comes next year. there are no easy fixes. these england players will have the chance to play in a new competition, the 100, next year. it will run alongside the mains. the danger is —— the main's. the dangers... it's been a good day for england on the first day of the women's british open, with charley hull performing well at her home course of woburn. she's finished two shots off the lead. meanwhile the defending champion georgia hall isn't far away. she's finished on 3 under. jo currie has been watching. a strong performance from the home contingent on the opening day means british hopes remain high on the second day of action. charley hull led the charge on her home course. she made her local knowledge count. three birdies in a row was the highlight, didn‘t three birdies in a row was the highlight, didn't drop a shot all

day finishing five under par. not bad for a 23—year—old hunting for her maiden title. i feel i am playing well but struggle to trust myself sometimes. today i went out there and trusted myself and i have to trust myself and feel like i am a mindset. she is to off the pa cesetter, mindset. she is to off the pacesetter, ashley bo hi ——... georgia hall looks to recapture some of the form that led her to capture this title 12 months ago. her third on their elites are in touching distance of the leaders. and it was a strong day for several of korea's players. ko jin—young

a strong day for several of korea's players. kojin—young is fighting for her title. home hopes rest on hull and georgia hall. it was a very successful swimming world championships for britain in south korea, with adam peaty winning three gold medals, but one of the talking points was the refusal of several swimmers to share the podium with sun yang, the chinese swimmer who had previously been banned for doping. today, the sport's governing body, fina, were dismissive of the protests and said they wouldn't be happening again. i think we have fantastic venues, attendance, the swimmers were happy. the incident happened. it is not something we have experienced in the past but for sure it is not going to happen in future. i am convinced about that because we discussed with the and the swimmers. it was just an

incident without any particular importance in our sport. one of the swimmers who refused to share a podium with sun yang was great britain's duncan scott. he won bronze in the 200 metres freestyle and was then berated by sun yang who had won gold. scott said he didn't regret what he did. i made my stance and haven't thought too much about it afterwards. i turned all my social media off afterwards so i haven't had much time to reflect on the events with regards to me making a stance. it is something i will think about in any down time away from swimming. then i will see what my thoughts are for the rest of my swimming career in terms of what i'm going to speak out

to the media order in the future but at the moment i don't know, yeah. for the first time in three years andy and jamie murray have played together professionally, and it's gone well. the brothers are through to the quarter—finals of the washington 0pen after beating french pair nicolas mahut and edouard roger—vasselin. joe lynsky reports. it may still be the doubles and it may just be a it may still be the doubles and it mayjust be a first round but for andy murray this was a victory for his body. that will do it. crucially he left the court free of pain, at the washington venue where last year he was in tears. back then the pain in his hip meant he could barely serve. now he is getting back to top speed. this is just serve. now he is getting back to top speed. this isjust his serve. now he is getting back to top speed. this is just his fourth tournament since those joints were rebuilt completely. but the handling, the touch still they are, and alongside his brotherjamie this match would go the difference. ——

distance. at one hole against their french opponents, the first to any tie—break would get the win. at one stage the murray clare 5—2 down. but this is a sign for andy murray that singles could be close. physically i feel better, i have no pain, no restriction on any shots, but i am still a little slow and i hope that is something that comes back with time. i didn't know how much i would be playing after last year. to come back and be competing and pain—free is brilliant. this was their first match together in three years, a fun reunion, but for andy the aim from heroes to go alone. leyton orient will start the new season in the football league after gaining promotion. it should be an exciting day, but it'll be tinged with saddness because their manager, justin edinburgh, who was instrumental in leading them to promotion, passed away injune at the age

of just 49 from a heart attack. many of the players and staff at the club are still coming to terms with their loss as they prepare for the first day of the season. emma jones reports. j°y joy for a leyton orient in april as justin edinburgh and his players celebrated promotion back to the football league. just weeks later, the club and its fans were mourning the club and its fans were mourning the death of their manager after he had a heart attack at the age of just 49. now the team are back preparing for a new season with very mixed emotions. of course a time we all look forward to hopefully being together and having worked so hard together and having worked so hard to get to this point, having to do it without him, but at the same time we carry him in everything we do, his spirit is very much still around and we will use that to drive us on.

alan comfort is a former leyton 0rient player who is now the club chaplain which gives him a fairly unique insights to offering help and support. the majority of players are going to need to try to get on with normal life and i am trying to help them know that that is all right. he would have wanted them to go on and play well and to do well because he loved the football and he would have gone on with it, so i am hoping they will hear that, that it would have been his dream for them that they would go on and do well. everything we go on to achieve end each day we go to work, however emotional we feel, when it comes to work time, everyone knows deep down the standards and targets and work ethic thatjustin instilled in everyone will continue, and we all feel that

love for someone who brought us such fantastic times that will stay with us fantastic times that will stay with us forever. the saturday even the visiting fans were left a banner in his honour. leyton orient looking to the future but remembering justin. time for a look at some of the day's other sports news stories. arsenal have confirmed the signing of ivory coast winger nicolas pepe from lille for a club record fee of £72 million. the 24—year—old has agreed a five—year contract after undergoing a medical on tuesday. pepe scored 35 goals in 74 ligue1 appearances for lille. and a major blow for wales, taulupe faletau has been ruled out of the world cup and will need surgery after breaking his collar bone. it happened during what's been described as an "inocuous training ground incident". faletau's career has been blighted with injury, he broke his arm twice last season, missing the six nations. israel folau has begun court action against rugby australia
