hello and welcome to sportsday. captain marcus rashford gives england a slender victory in their final euros warm—up, but players are booed again by some fans as they take the knee. heartbreakfor max verstappen as a late spin denies him victory in azerbaijan but lewis hamilton can't take advantage. and an unbeaten 60 from dom sibley helps england secure a draw against new zealand.
7:47 pm
hello and welcome to sportsday. welcome along, thanks forjoining us. for the second time in four days, some fans have booed england players as they took a knee against racial injustice — before kick off — at the riverside stadium in middlesborough. in theirfinal warm up match before euro 2020, england beat romania 1—0 thanks to a marcus rashford penalty. nick parrott reports: england boss gareth southgate made nine changes from the side that beat austria but there was no change in the attitude of some fans at the stadium, booing again when england took the knee. romania might be 39 places below england in the world rankings but they were the first hit the target. england were not much
7:48 pm
better front of goal with the striker is not close enough in the first half. it took more than an hour to make the breakthrough after jack cilic was brought down captain rashford showed he can step in for harry kane. it should have been too after calvin lewis was fouled. substitute jordan after calvin lewis was fouled. substitutejordan henderson after calvin lewis was fouled. substitute jordan henderson fancied a great return but it was anything but. forthe a great return but it was anything but. for the fans —— england enjoyed a victory over romania but the fans booing will get the headlines once again. we can go live to middlesbrough now and join our correspondent katie gornall who was watching the game. gareth southgate talked about his disappointment last week when a minority of fans booed england players taking a knee against racism. now we've seen the same thing happen again? we have, yes. it was clear that when the players took the neither were
7:49 pm
loud boos from the fans, mixed with applause. a vocal minority you could say back booing the gesture of taking any. it is something the players might have been expecting. they have spoken already about their disappointment and confusion at fans doing this, it is something gareth southgate has spoken eloquently about in the build—up to this game. he acknowledges there are people out there who think this has a political message to it but says, repeatedly, thatis message to it but says, repeatedly, that is not the case. he does not think people are getting the message, players are doing this to show solidarity and taken antiracism stand. they took a meeting again after the austria game and decided overwhelmingly to keep doing this and they will be taking many before the games at the euros. katie — what's gareth southgate
7:50 pm
learnt from this game tonight going into that one? the one against croatia. an interesting question because it is difficult to know how much you can learn from this. it was a difficult selection board, he is without a number of key players, no chelsea players and harry maguire is out injured as well so he will have been looking to see what his fringe players can do, maybe some of those who might have been on the periphery of the england team. from the past two games, the one player who has shown is jack relation. he was fantastic tonight causing problems for remainiac and was at the centre for remainiac and was at the centre for everything for england. he won the penalty which marcus rashford
7:51 pm
finished off. jordan henderson missed the second penalty which is something gareth southgate spoke about afterwards, he might have a word with henderson because that was not the plan. henderson had not played since february so maybe he wanted some of the glory but it did not work out for him. there were other positives, sam johnstone, the west brom goalkeeper made a fantastic save in the second half but the big question now for gareth southgate is which of his standby list of players replace the injured trent alexander arnold. have others done enough to force their way into the final 26 man squad that goes to the final 26 man squad that goes to the euros. southgate has said he will not decide just yet, you will assess the fitness of the players and make a decision 20 for a head of the game against croatia in a week.
7:52 pm
yes, some questions to answer. thank you forjoining us. scotland were also playing their final warm—up game tonight. the euros will be their first major tournament since 1998 — they were away at luxembourg. che adams with the only goal of the game just before the half hour mark. luxembourg had defender vahid selimovic sent off shortly after that goal. scotland play their first euro 2020 group match against the czech republic at hampden a week tomorrow. next to formula one. a lewis hamilton mistake and a max verstappen crash meant sergio perez won this afternoon's azerbaijan grand prix. it was all fairly uneventful in baku, until a dramatic end as ben croucher reports: some say f1 has become too predictable. it is either lewis hamilton or max verstappen winning. so far this season yes, today not a bit of it. the first sign of drama came for lance stroll, a tyre failure at 200mph. a freak accident right?
7:53 pm
he walked away unhurt. verstappen still led. hamilton remained stuck behind the two red bulls. i don't think i can overtake these guys. he needed some luck. verstappen out. another tire blowing the race and the championship back in hamilton's favour. could hamilton kick verstappen while he was down. the restart was his chance. the win was in his grasp. he overshot. sorry, guys. putting the brakes only on his title ambition. verstappen keeps the championship lead and perez takes a victory as memorable as it was unpredictable. to cricket and a rather disappointing final day of england's first test against new zealand at lords. chasing 273 to win, england's batsmen never really looked like chasing that total down, the match ending in a draw. patrick gearey�*s been watching.
7:54 pm
final day at lord's, pick a direction and set your pace. new zealand needed to travel fast to win. score quickly. take the game as far from englishmen�*s grasps as possible. england might catch these risks but the kiwis like a challenge so at lunch they got the game rolling, declaring and setting england 273 runs to win, new zealand would need ten wickets. they were thinking of an england batting collapse but their sting was drawn. by by rory burns. after nearly two hours, he eventually departed. zach crawley was less stubborn. 56—2, by now in the final session of the match england were thinking of saving it, not winning it. the focus drifted and the game settled into a sunday evening lull. neil wagoner saw trapping joe root lbw as significant.
7:55 pm
an individual achievement for dom sibley as well. he went through to his 50 and saluted. this was not a match destined to end in celebrations. america's lexi thompson has a four—shot lead in the final round of the us women's open in san francisco. thompson — who set a record as the youngest golfer to qualify for the us women's open in 2007 when she was 12 — shot a five—under—par 66 and lead the way after round three on seven under par. yuka saso, of the philippines, is five shots behind after a difficult start. seven shots off the lead is 17—year—old high school student megha ganne. she has had a fantastic few days there. she has had a fantastic few days there. england's mel reid, who led after the opening round, has fallen to 33rd place
7:56 pm
on nine over par. to tennis, and roger federer has pulled out of the french open, worried about risking his knee — and his wimbledon chances — if he plays on. federer battled past dominik koepfer last night in a tough four—setter which took more than three and a half hours — and that was only his sixth match since double knee surgery. federer says "it s important that he listens to his body and makes sure he doesn't push himself too quickly on his road to recovery". he was due to play matteo berrettini in the fourth round tomorrow. another legend of the game. serena williams is out of the french open after losing in straight sets to kazakhstan�*s elena rybakina. chasing that record equalling 24th grand slam, serena didn't go into this tournament in great form and now leaves at the fourth round stage. like federer, she'll now be firmly focused on wimbledon where her chances are better. rybakina's into her first grand slam quarter final. alfie hewett and gordon reid have become the most successful all—british doubles pair,after a straight sets win in the french open wheelchair final.
7:57 pm
they've now won 11 grand slams together, as they beat stephane houdet and nicolas peifer 6—3 6—0. hewett is also into the men's wheelchair singles final later this week againstjapan�*s shingo kunieda. geraint thomas had to settle for third place on the criterium du dauphine, which is an important warm up race for the tour de france later this month. the welshman crashed around five miles from the finish, but managed to get back up and recover to cross the line just ahead of his ineos grenadiers team mate richie porte who took the overall victory. that's all from sportsday. hello there.
7:58 pm
quite a mixed picture today, we saw variable cloud, some sunny spells and also a few showers especially across england and wales. this weather front is bringing thicker cloud and showers across england and wales, it will continue to weaken and move out into the sea. further north we could see miss developing. single figures in scotland and northern ireland, double figures for england. a lot of dry weather tomorrow with some sunshine. a bit of cloud into the afternoon, showers could develop in north wales, north midlands and central and eastern england. warmer across—the—board tomorrow, 23 for glasgow —— 20 degrees for glasgow and 23 for london.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm — the health secretary says the delta variant of the coronavirus is 40% more transmissible and the government is "open" to delaying the lifting of coronavirus restrictions in england due onjune the 21st. that does make life more challenging for everybody. and you've seen that the case rates have risen a little. but the good news is that hospitalisations, the number of people arriving at hospital, is broadly flat. coronavirus cases in the uk rise by 49% in one week. 5341 new covid cases were recorded in the last 2a hours. vaccinations are being opened up to the under—30s this week in the drive to offer covid jabs to all adults in england.
