good evening, i'm tt and this is your sports news where we start with football and scotland have lost their opening group game of the delayed euro 2020 championship following a 2—0 defeat to the czech republic at hampden park. an incredible goal from the half—way line sealed scotland's fate and leaves them bottom of the group — meaning the game against england on friday takes on even greater importance. joe lynskey reports. they've had to wait since 1998. this is scotland's first match at a major tournament and 12,000 fans in glasgow were there to see it. after a year of restrictions of restrictions in silence, that was something to cheer for. but now they have the platform scotland want to bloom. we know the czech republic of the lowest —ranked of their group opponents in scotland had the noise

behind them. andy robertson came this close for making it louder but slowly the czech republic gained control and just before the break, they made them quiet. patrick forward in the bundesliga, they pay £20 million forfinishing like forward in the bundesliga, they pay £20 million for finishing like this but ten down, the true level but for the crossfire, and the goalkeeper. but on the biggest stage misses it costly and scotland's hopes faded with something extraordinary. and with something extraordinary. and patrick and with something extraordinary. jinn. patrick and scored again. with something extraordinary. fific patrick and scored again. he has taken the opportunity brilliantly. this is in scoring again and this was the contenderfor this is in scoring again and this was the contender for goal of the tournament and weighing office line, 2-0, tournament and weighing office line, 2—0, scott and cannot find a way back. is 2-0, scott and cannot find a way back. . . 2-0, scott and cannot find a way back. , ., ., , ,., 2-0, scott and cannot find a way back. , ., ., , ., , 2-0, scott and cannot find a way back. , ., ., ., , ., back. is a tough lesson for us at the highest _

the finland captain tim sparv is the latest player to question whether their game against denmark at the weekend should have resumed less than two hours after christian eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest. the game was suspended near the end of the first half — when the score was 0—0 — following eriksen's collapse. he remains stable in hospital after being revived on the pitch in copenhagen. finland went on to win the game 1—0, but this was the response of their captain when he was asked if he'd rather it had not restarted — and taken a 0—0 draw. i don't think that was something that we would've argued with, for us it was important that the danish players felt 0k it was important that the danish players felt ok with the decision that they took and we didn't want to force or pressure them into something that they weren't comfortable with and so i was just

trying to listen to where are you right now, how do you feel, what do you want to do and we were quite prepared to support their decision. away from the euros, the men's and women's wimbledon finals will be played in front of a capacity crowd on centre court. it'll be the first outdoor sporting event in the uk to have a full crowd since the start of the pandemic. the tournament, which starts on the 28th ofjune, will have a 50 per cent ground capacity, despite the extended lockdown announced this evening by the prime minister. wembley will also be able to host matches at 50 per cent capacity for the knockout stages of euro 2020. next to tennis and a it was a good day for the brits with cameron norrie and jack draper through on the opening day of the queen's club championships. draper, the unseeded british teenager knocked out the number three seed — and fellow 19—year—old — yannick sinner. draper was 4—0 down in the first set with sinner, the world number 23 and one of the most exciting players

on the tour taking charge, but draper fought back to win on a tie—break. and he kept up the momentum in the second set and won that on a tie break too completing his first win on the men's tour. i started playing when i was very young, my mum was over there was watching me and started me off and i was young and yeah, it's been a greatjourney was young and yeah, it's been a great journey since was young and yeah, it's been a greatjourney since i started and it's been a bit bumpy with injuries and stuff like that, but understanding here today. meanwhile at the birmingham classic, heather watson looked in danger after she lost the first set to switzerland's viktoria golubic, but the brit won the next two sets to make it safely into the next round. it's just her fifth win on the wta tour this season. fellow brit harriet dart was knocked out though. and that's all the sport for now.

monday was a day of contrast. still hot and humid and the temperatures are soaring by the middle of the afternoon and we reach the highest temperatures recorded so far this year and that was 30 celsius in greater london. now, it was a greater story further north because of the week weather front i spilling and from scotland into the north of england and behind us, the wind direction change her northwesterly and that started with some fresher air and march contrast and highs of around 25 degrees, the warmest day of the year by monday, those temperatures are down quite sharply. it looks as though that fresher feel will continue to be the theme of the weather and the tuesday as well. starting off the good deal of dry weather, or week weather front just a band of cloud lingering first thing in the morning but there will be a lot of sunshine coming through

in any of the pressure bringing in some rain into western reaches of scotland by the middle part of the day and the winds increasing here. so, we're looking at around ten to 15 degrees is the overall height but 25 is not out of the question. down the touch, but still that is 77 fahrenheit. that weather front is bringing the rain not bring some heavy bursts of rain for a time across scotland and overnight, so moving to wednesday, to be fairly weak affair by then as it moves out of the scottish border into the north of england and parts of north wales. behind it will see some sunshine as well, drop temperatures of around 14 to 18 degrees ahead of it and starting to track more heat and humidity once again, 20 degrees not out of the question. and it is this heat and humidity which would trigger some sharp laundry downpours towards the end of the working week. to be this warm humid air starting

to move up from spain and into france and to trigger some sharp thunderstorms and there's a lot of uncertainty just where these thunderstorms are likely to crop up and so, it's worth keeping up with the rest of the forecast been anywhere across eastern england lead to real trouble eventually —— torrential thunder downpours and top temperatures down considerably and we are looking at 13 to 22 degrees.
