7:47 pm
so—called group of death, there are no easy games, particularly when facing cristiano ronaldo. he got a goal within quarter an germany in peril. if they were, this was the way to solve it. before half—time, germany were in front. portugal were stunned but germany were not finished yet. they made it three goals before there was another. they gain seemingly beyond portugal. they would have one final goal. but it wasn't enough. germany are back in this competition, one of the surprises of the tournament followed by one of the games of the tournament, group f living up to the height. we can cross live to budapest where our football reporterjohn bennett

this stadium in seville. he said it wasn't good enough, he said it was too dry, and he is hoping for better conditions against poland tonight. that kicks off in ten minutes. tomorrow night wales are back in the spotlight, they play their final group game — and surely the toughest of the lot. they face italy in rome. 0ur reporter is there and i spoke to him a short while ago: they have landed in italy having effectively done that job, they have landed in italy having effectively done thatjob, going through to the next round, unless there is an earthquake in that group tomorrow. they are training, they have actually delayed the training until the temperatures cool down but from what we can tell watching them a few minutes ago, everyone looked fit and well and relaxed. their expectations will be ten ahead of tomorrow. they know italy does not record at the moment is incredible. they beat both turkey and switzerland 3—0 and haven't been beaten in 29 games, having not conceded a goal in almost 1000
7:52 pm
minutes of football. so wales know they need a decent performance tomorrow, avoiding injuries. of course they will play for a win, that would see them top of the group, but if not, second would be decent and will send them off to another game next weekend. england and scotland will play their final group matches on tuesday night, following their 0—0 draw at wembley. a result the tartan army was much happier with than the frustrated english supporters at wembley. 0lly foster is there for us now — scothere's a lot for england and scotland to take from last night's result — albeit for different reasons? they will be feeling positive about going into the game against croatia? yes, they had to get a positive result here last night. england booed off the pitch after a goalless draw, a goalless draw that has kept scotland alive because they lost to the czech republic in their opener and whatever performance it was, billy gilmore, the 20—year—old

chelsea player making his first start for scotland at the centre of the midfield, really bossing things and making england look very ordinary there. remember gilmore had only made 11 appearances for chelsea this season, most of them as a sub. steve clark really set up a scotland side perfectly to suffocate an england team that never really fired. yes, they could have got an early goal whenjohn stones rattled a post about skull and created plenty of chances, might have won it themselves, so they are on the up, really, after their opening defeat, and they feel that they will have got what it takes at hampden on tuesday night, to get the win and i have to get now against croatia. croatia needing exactly the same, will get to england in a moment, but steve clark faced the media today and was a very contented man. we've been improving _ and was a very contented man. we've been improving for _ and was a very contented man. we've been improving for a _ and was a very contented man. we've been improving for a long _ and was a very contented man. we've been improving for a long time - and was a very contented man. we've been improving for a long time so - and was a very contented man. we've been improving for a long time so it l been improving for a long time so it was nice _ been improving for a long time so it was nice to — been improving for a long time so it was nice to see the boys on the pitch. _ was nice to see the boys on the pitch. we — was nice to see the boys on the pitch, we defended well, the most pleasing _ pitch, we defended well, the most pleasing aspect was we played well. the objective was to get something

7:56 pm
one of the best players in the tour at the moment and he is in good form as well, like that drop shots, i will maybe have a chat with andy and see if he has any tips for me. i saw him play earlier and he had a good day, it is not going to be easy. but disappointment for britain's heather watson who lost her semi—final in birmingham, against 0nsjabeur. the number two seed from tunisia beat watson in straight sets, 6—3 6—3. england's women have missed out on a first test victory since 2014 after india dug in to draw their one off match on the final day in bristol. lydia campbell reports. india knew that to avoid defeat, they would need to bat well. the early signs were not good. sharma edged to 50 but then this, sophie ecclestone's final ball before lunch was a peach. and a flurry of wickets
7:57 pm
after the break puts england in the driving seat, as they look to get the chance to bat sooner rather than later. but then the handbrake was on. the indian resistance was building momentum. and when rana got her 50, building momentum. and when rana got her50, england had building momentum. and when rana got her 50, england had stalled altogether. no matter what they threw at rana, theyjust couldn't remove her, and with light fading, all that was left was for rana to kick off yet another boundary and for the draw to be confirmed. harlequins pulled off an extraordinary comeback from 28 nil down at half time — as they beat bristol to reach rugby union's premiership final. the match had finished at 31—all at the end of normal time but two tries including this from joe marchant sealed the victory, 15—36 to harlequins.

7:59 pm
hello again. today's been a pretty cloudy day. we've seen a few cloud breaks, a little bit of sunshine coming through for some through the afternoon and a few showers in scotland, but my attention's now turning to the south, where we started to see some big thunderstorms break out again and these are going to be pushing northwards. the rain will be quite extensive, quite heavy with some thunder mixed in across south—east england, anywhere really from the isle of wight and hampshire eastwards, into east anglia too. now, the heaviest rain could bring some localised surface water flooding, especially given how wet the weather has been over recent days. there will be some showers developing further west for south—west england and wales as well. temperatures overnight, 10—14 degrees. tomorrow, this rain pulls away from eastern areas of england, then we will be left with a lot of cloud across the country again. showers in scotland developing through the afternoon, this time there will be one or two in northern ireland as well, and although most of us will keep the cloud all day, there will be some sunshine across northern ireland,

north—west england, and the north—west of wales too. this is bbc news. the headlines at eight: a major push to offer coronavirus jabs to every adult in england is gathering speed, with queues forming outside pop—up vaccination centres. if it wasn't for the vaccine, we would definitely be seeing a wave that is going to be even bigger than the wave we had in winter but because of the vaccine, that is doing the heavy lifting, that is what is doing as much as possible to protect us at the moment. it comes as scientists repeat their warnings that a third wave of infections is under way: i certainly believe it is the third wave. we are seeing the number of cases going up quite consistently now. and the beginnings of a rise in hospitalisations. i think we are all very optimistic that this will be different from the previous waves. the son of the private investigator daniel morgan — whose murder remains unsolved more
