shibuno. jo currie reports. few will have known the name hinako shibuno before this tournament, but golf fans will certainly know it now after she announced herself on the international stage with this stunning victory. incredibly, this was her debut at a major. shibuno was her debut at a major. shibuno was the overnight leader with a two shot lead, and despite playing musical chairs at the top of the leaderboard throughout this round, and with players far more experience than herself, she held her nerve to claim the final major of the year. her round of 68 saw her finish on i8—under par. that was one shot ahead of american lizette salas. she pulled off eight birdies as she had the round of her career. but she will

year. but she fell away, finishing on i6—under par, that is two of the lead. as for shibuno, though, this wina lead. as for shibuno, though, this win a fairytale finish from a player known as a smiling cinderella. onto cricket, and australia look to have taken a decisive grip on the first ashes test against england in birmingham. another spectacular century from steve smith, his second of the match, helped australia take a commanding lead heading well, sometimes at the end of the day of a test match it is useful to think back to what our thoughts were, our aspirations and suggestions were, at the start of the day. now, if england could have rattled through the rest of australia's second innings in the morning session they might have been chasing down a small total and even winning this test match today. as it is, at the close of day four, we are 1 is, at the close of day four, we are i million miles from that situation. so what happened 7 i million miles from that situation. so what happened? well, in short, steve smith happened. his 142, his second century of this match, not only had a huge impact in america,
1:48 am
it also had a huge impact on england cosmic energy and morale. remember, england is here but withoutjames anderson, unable to bowl. moeen ali was the spin bowler they look to to make an impact. you know, that didn't happen. there was a tantalising glimpse of archer in his test match kit for england, just a substitute fielder. he may be able to play in the next test, of course, and bowl them, but where we will we be in terms of the ashes when we get to lourdes? because australia have such a good opportunity now. potentially to take ten wickets and when the match. tomorrow, there may be floodlight, they may even be showers, but england will have to about four hours to try to rescue this test match with a draw. from their point of view, each one of their point of view, each one of their players has to display the rory burns spirit. i've never doubted my ability, but yes, it was kind of a dream come back, in a way.
1:49 am
to be able to score two hundreds in a match in the first ashes test match, it is something i've never donein match, it is something i've never done in any form of cricket before in my life. so it's incredibly special, and special to be able to, i guess, put us in the position that we are in now, going into day five. in many ways you have to admire it, and as you guys, who watch, and the spectators, as well, you have to appreciate that they are watching someone appreciate that they are watching someone who is a fantastic player, who is a world—class player, as well, and that's great to see. it's great to be on the ground when that happens. we'd like to see the back of him,| happens. we'd like to see the back of him, i think. elsewhere, india beat west indies by 22 runs in the second t20 international in florida, to clinch the series with a game to spare. they will be looking to complete a clean sweep in guyana on tuesday. after winning the toss and electing to bat, india got off to a fast start thanks to rohit sharma, who hit 67 off 51 balls as they made 167—5 from their 20 overs.
1:50 am
in reply, rovman powell was the pick of the west indies batters, with 54 off 34 balls, but no—one else contributed. west indies were 98—4 and well behind the run rate when rain stopped play, handing india the victory. lewis hamilton won the hungarian formula one grand prix, overtaking max verstappen in the closing stages to extend his lead at the top of the drivers championship. it was the gamble from a pit stop that paid off for the reigning world champion, as nick parrott reports. formula one has enjoyed three epic races on the spin, and in hungary, it was hoping for a grand finale before its summer break. lewis hamilton was keen to bounce back after his worst race of the season last time out in germany, but he had max verstappen standing on his way. the young dutchman was on pole position for the first time, and a perfect start saw him stay ahead of the mercedes.
1:51 am
hamilton quickly got past team—mate valtteri bottas to move up to second. but, on a circuit where it is difficult to overtake, it looked like verstappen would hold on for a second win in a row. that was before mercedes gambled by bringing in hamilton for an extra pit stop. but it turned out it was. red bull could do nothing as verstappen‘s 20—second lead quickly evaporated. with just three laps to go, the game was up, and hamilton went on to claim his eighth win of the season. despite their recent wobbles, mercedes showed they are still masters of this sport. onto football, and manchester city have won the first trophy of the new season in england, beating liverpool on penalties to retain the community shield at wembley. the match between the top two teams in the premier league last season ended 1—1 after 90 minutes, with raheem sterling scoring for city in the first—half, beforejoel matip equalised for liverpool after the break. gabrieljesus then scored the decisive penalty as city won the shoot—out 5—4.
1:52 am
i don't know, we will be like last season, two real contenders, liverpool and us to win the premier league. i think united with the players they bought and arsenal as well and chelsea and tottenham, that they won all of the season, so i think there will be many, many contenders this time, but i think liverpool, i think we realise which teams we will face for the rest of the season. we had a difficult preseason, but the boys did what they had to do and were effective, and we have played football games against really good teams, and that didn't feel too good. so it was really important that we had this, that we gave ourselves and our supporters as well as sign of our performance today. in the netherlands, feyenoord were held to a 2—2 draw by city rivals sparta rotterdam in their opening game of the new eredivisie season.
1:53 am
sparta looked to be heading for victory when lars veldwijk put them 2—1 up with 16 minutes to go. but sam larsson salvaged a point for the home side with an equaliser in the fifth minute of stoppage—time. and there was late drama in scotland, where kilmarnock came from a goal down to equalise against rangers with seven minutes left, stephen o'donnell with the goal. but rangers won it with a header from connor goldson right on 90 minutes, 2—1 the final score. marc marquez won his 50th motogp race after coming first at the czech republic grand prix. the defending champion finished ahead of andrea dovizioso and jack miller to extend his lead in the championship to 63 points. marquez becomes just the fourth rider to achieve 50 premier class wins. in major league baseball, yu darvish pitched five effective innings as the chicago cubs beat
1:54 am
the slumping milwaukee brewers 7—2 on sunday to sweep their weekend series. christian yelich hit his major league—best 37th homer for milwaukee in the first inning, which had them moving in the right direction. darvish allowed one run and five hits, struck out eight players, and walked none, as he retired ten straight batters at one point. and kyle schwarber‘s home run in the fifth inning put the cubs out to a 4—1 lead, which would eventually blow out further, as the national league central leaders won for the 11th time in 13 games at wrigley field, while milwaukee have dropped six of their last seven. he looks about as happy as me. i a lwa ys he looks about as happy as me. i always look like that. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. that is bbc.com/sport. but from me, tulsen tollett, and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye.
1:55 am
hello. the weekend ended on a dramatic note weatherwise for some parts of the uk. some really vicious thunderstorms, especially across the midlands, northern england and scotland, and through the coming week, more of those heavy downpours. quite hit—and—miss, there will be some dry weather, but where the rain does show up, well, it could be pretty intense and could bring some further disruption. low pressure once again taking charge of the scene. you can see the clouds swirling around the centre of that low on our recent satellite picture. ahead of that main area of low pressure, a couple of bands of showery rain to start monday morning — one drifting across the north of scotland, the other moving across east anglia and the south—east. now, this one should tend to clear away as we get into the afternoon, so for much of england and wales we're looking at largely dry weather and some spells of sunshine. the odd light shower for wales and the south—west.
1:56 am
there will be some heavy downpours for northern ireland and for scotland. quite a breezy day, highs of 19—25 degrees. now, into monday evening, we will see some further heavy downpours drifting across shetland. some drier, clearer weather across the rest of the uk, but showers starting to feed back in from the west by the end of the night. temperatures 11 degrees there in newcastle, 15 the overnight low in cardiff. now, remember that area of low pressure i was talking about? well, by tuesday it really makes its move, drifting across the northern half of the uk, the heaviest showers always in the centre of this area of low pressure. so through northern ireland, northern england and scotland, that's where we're likely to see the most widespread, heavy showers and torrential downpours. further south, perhaps not as many showers. quite breezy in the south of the uk, as well, but very light winds further north. that means the showers will be pretty slow—moving, especially across northern scotland. some areas could get a real
1:57 am
drenching if a shower sits around for any length of time. temperatures 18—23 degrees — a cooler, fresher feel. now, wednesday is a similar looking day. some hefty showers for scotland, northern ireland and northern england. some showers further south, but toward south wales and southern england, a better chance of staying predominantly dry through the day. 18—23 degrees. now, thursday gives something of a chance to draw breath. i'm not promising that it will be completely dry, but there'll be fewer showers, more sunshine around. but it doesn't last. on friday, we see some heavy and persistent rain swinging in from the west, courtesy of this frontal system. and that leaves us with low pressure again as we head into next weekend, so there will be some heavy bursts of rain and some brisk winds at times.
2:00 am
afterwork welcome to bbc news — i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: the man accused of killing 20 people in a terrorist shooting in texas has been charged with capital murder. meanwhile a vigil‘s taken place in ohio for 9 people killed in a separate shooting. in hong kong, pro—democracy protesters urge workers to join their general strike as a day of disruption begins. and monday's strike at heathrow is suspended as the airport
