and the tide turned in a five—minute speu and the tide turned in a five—minute spell just before and the tide turned in a five—minute spelljust before the break, with goals on both sides. al—nassr went ahead in the tie—in had an advantage ofan ahead in the tie—in had an advantage of an extra away goal. earlier in the second half, al—nassr‘s goalkeeper should have been sent off for this rash challenge. the australian escaped with merely a yellow card. seven minutes later, giuliano drilled home his second goal of the night to put the result beyond doubt. giuliano‘s double secured a 4—3 win which sends the saudi side into the first date. secured a 4—3 win which sends the saudi side into the first datem was a difficult game, but we came here to qualify. we prepared very well ourselves. and we deserve to qualify. we were smarter and we played better and we scored more

goals. in the know's other game, al—ittihad took a 2—1 lead against him -- al—ittihad took a 2—1 lead against him —— against zob ahan. the two sides traded own goals early in the second half before al—ittihad finally gave themselves more breathing space. remove any scored twice in a six minute spell and that with the saudi sides ex—to one aggregate. zob ahan scored two late goals to make for an interesting finish, but as the champions of 2004 and 2005, the margins of the quarterfinals. —— 6—2 aggregate. andy murray has announced he will not play at the us open in a fortnight. the former world number one made a bittersweet comeback at the cincinnati masters, playing his first singles match in seven months since career—resurrecting hip surgery. he made the announcement directly

following his first round defeat to 3—time grand slam semifinalist richard gasquet, murray going down in straight sets 6—4, 6—4, as he begins to take baby sets towards returning fully to the singles circuit. worth noting that no player had ever had the operation and then resumed their singles career. gasquet will take on world number four dominic thiem in the next round, but was full of praise for murray. i hope you will recover well and come back. he is still one of the best players, even when i was out for six months, it was tough for me. even with this, it he was still a great competitor. former champion marin cilic was sent also crashing out in cincinnati, moldova's radu albot saving six set points in the second set and taking

the first match point that came his way to win 6—4, 7-6. somewhat of an annus mirrablilis for albot, he's at a career high of number 39 in the rankings and won his first atp tour title earlier this year at the delray beach 0pen. in the women's draw, the early winners on monday included aryna sabalenka. the number nine seed from belarus enjoyed a comfortable straight sets win over petra martic from croatia. sabalenka — who reached the final at silicon valley two weeks ago — won 6—1, 6—4. boxing promoter eddie hearn has been defending the decision to stage the rematch between andy ruinunior and anthonyjoshua in saudi arabia. it's reportedly costing the authorities there some $96 million to stage it. ruiz caused a huge upset when he beat joshua, in new york injune, to take his four world heavyweight titles. but the decision to stage a re—match in diriyah,

near riyadh, has caused quite a stir, with many calling into question saudi arabia's record on human rights. we really want to ensure human rights around the agenda and that eve ryo ne rights around the agenda and that everyone who is going to be viewing this fight, some are going to be interested in it, actually aware of the awful human rights record that saudi arabia has. you know, one of the top executing countries in the world, systematically discriminates against women, we see women, human rights activists in prison for peaceful activities, it carries out indiscriminate bombings in yemen at the moment. we've seen terrible human rights — torture in custody, its record is really abysmal. this could change the sport of boxing forever because of saudi arabia invest or, continue to invest in the sport of boxing, as do other countries in the region, then you

are going to see a lot of magnifiers out there. and i'mjust are going to see a lot of magnifiers out there. and i'm just one of every promoter who's tried to land a mega fight in this region. the i'm just the first to do that. we will stick with the decision that this was a big moment for the sport of boxing and this is an iconic fight that will go down in history. we will stage it in diriyah on december seven. on to rugby union — and with the world cup still more than five weeks away, the 2003 champions england have became the first of the tier—one nations to name their squad for the tournament injapan which, kicks off on the 20th september. and there are several surprise inclusions in the 31—man party — among them northampton flanker lewis ludlam — who only has one cap to his name, having made his debut in sunday's win against wales at twickenham. bath wing ruaridh mcconnochie is also included. he was a regular on the sevens circuit — but still uncapped at senior level. but there's no place for ben te'o who was involved in an "off—field incident" at england's recent training camp in italy. when you've got that enthusiasm is

young players, it helps to add to the squad. rory we've been watching quite closely throughout the club season. i was impressed by him. and once he came in the camp he gave a good impression. he's a very good worker, a very good communicator. a mature boy. he played a number of positions, so he was a pretty easy selection in the end. and lewis absolutely came from nowhere. you know, we've been watching him at clu b know, we've been watching him at club rugby, he done particularly well and again we thought we'd roll the dice and bring him in the camp to see what he could offer. katrina matthew has announced her for wildcard picks against the usa at gleneagles. the biggest surprise is the inclusion of noi's patterson,

currently ranked 620 in the world after taking time away from tour to have a baby. in all, there are four players from england, two each from sweden and spain, with netherlands, germany, norway and france also represented. the usa will be aiming to win the biennial event for the third time in a row — but europe have won the solheim cup on the last two occasions it was played in scotland. everyone really is just happy to know what the team is and who is in it. it's been a long process and obviously the ones that qualified automatically and then it's most just fall for the rest, but, you know, were all together. we had a great day this morning playing, perfect weather. it would be nice if we had that in september. but, yeah, i think we all enjoyed the golf course, it is in fantastic shape. so we re course, it is in fantastic shape. so were all very excited and we can't wait to get back here in september. and jofra archer faces the media at lord's on monday ahead of a probable attest debut on monday. he missed

the first test defeat against australia in the ashes because of a strain, but he's fully fit now, expected to replace the injured james anderson. if selected, i'd probably be over the moon, but for now i'm not selected. if you play, it would be a new thing for you, bowling over five days. justin langer said in his press conference he thought they might wear you down. i don't think he's seen me play my best, i think she has another thing coming. jofra archer speaking to us earlier there. that's all we have for now. you can get all the latest sports news at our website, that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye.

hello. well, our cool weather with showers is here to stay through the week. if anything, it's going to turn even more unsettled as we head into friday and the weekend. but that's still a long way off. in the short—term, actually, there is a lot of dry weather out there, a lot of clear weather across the uk. this is what it looks like through the early hours. so as you can see we have some showers across the south, some across the lake district, lancashire, maybe western scotland, and our temperatures nine degrees first thing in the morning at edinburgh, 12 degrees there in devon and cornwall. this is what it looks like first thing on tuesday, then. so we wake up to a lot of sunshine, a scattering of showers in the west of scotland, some across northern england, one or two affecting the south—west of england as well. now the daytime will bring sunny

spells and temperatures of around 21 degrees for london, 17 expected in belfast and newcastle. now notice there's a bit of cloud and rain there in the south—west and that should reach cornwall and devon a little bit later on in the day. but for most of us the end of the day on tuesday is looking absolutely fine and lovely at sunset out there. here's mid—week and low pressure dominating the weather across the atlantic, a succession of weather fronts and low pressures heading our way — one just to the south of greenland there, they're all heading our way. this is what it looks like on wednesday, so one weather front brings rain to wales and many parts of england, another one to northern ireland and western scotland as well. that bit in between there, perhaps the north—east of england and the borders getting away with it, but probably later in the day that rain will arrive. now thursday, the weather does improve a little bit. you'll notice our weather icons are showing dry here,

partly cloudy skies. on friday, the weather goes downhill again. another low pressure comes off the atlantic and this one is a big area of low pressure. that will be barrelling through, notjust during the course of friday, but the weekend as well. so for many of us an increase in window and outbreaks of rain, particularly across western areas on friday. temperatures still around about 18—20 degrees, this is relatively humid air coming in out of the south. and then that low pressure is still with us through the weekend, you can see how big it is stretching from the central north atlantic in fact all the way to scandinavia and further weather fronts will swing around it and bring us some wet weather. bye— bye.
