truth, things have team forward. in truth, things have got worse for wales before half—time. clinging on for the break. still, that would not save them for long. moments after the restart, poor defending and kasper dolberg had his second. their third was no more than they deserved from joakim m hle, the kind of celebrations they as a nation not so long ago might have thought impossible. the knockout blow then for wales, impossible. the knockout blow then forwales, harry impossible. the knockout blow then for wales, harry wilson's red card not quite the final insult. that came from martin braithwaite. his goal made it four. denmark's extraordinary tournament goes on. for wales, extraordinary tournament goes on. forwales, nothing extraordinary tournament goes on. for wales, nothing but desperate disappointment. to finish how we did is disappointing, but the boys are frustrated and angry, it's

understandable and i would rather we go out like that kicking and screaming than doing nothing. we cannot fault the effort the boys showed and that's the minimum requirement. last 16 at euro 2020, italy v austria from wembley. italy finished as group a winners while austria came second in group came second in group c. winners will play belgium or portugal in quarterfinals. once that's done and dusted, the stadium will be getting ready for one of the pick of the last 16 matches. a repeat of the euro �*96 semifinal. england versus germany. england qualified top of the group with two wins and a goalless draw with scotland, but some have criticised the perfomances as uninspiring.

i think from a creative perspective, there is a lot more to come from us. i think first and foremost into tournament football it's important you don't concede goals. more often than not, the margins are quite small so i think keeping a clean sheet is very important but to obviously get to one goal results, still get the three points but we'd like to be a bit more creative and create more opportunities. it was a bittersweet afternoon for the british and irish lions in edinburgh. they warmed up for their tour to south africa with victory over japan but it has come at a price. captain alun wynjones has been ruled out of the tour after dislocating his shoulder. from murrayfield — our correspondent katie gornall sent this report. these fans know they are the lucky ones. there will be no sea of red when the lions to south africa so it turns out murrayfield is the next best thing. wanted to go to south

biggar was flawless with the post in sight. japan's perseverance was eventually rewarded. warren gatland has a few weeks to plug the gaps. the winner was never really in doubt but it came at a cost. in many ways, warren gatland got what he wanted but it was completely overshadowed by that ending injury to alun wyn jones. now lions fly to south africa needing a replacement and also a new captain. what a game of rugby and what a story in the premiership rugby final where harlequins won their first title in nine years — stunning defending champions exeter at twickenham. quins were 28—0 down in last week's semi final before stunning bristol and then produced an incredible display in a match winning 40—38 that ebbed and flowed from the first whistle to the last. joe lynskey has the story. this is english rugby's biggest match. to get here, harlequins just

have to cross the road. their home ground is next to twickenham but for so long, this match has felt far away. in theirfirst so long, this match has felt far away. in their first premiership finalfor nine years, away. in their first premiership final for nine years, they would not let it pass them by. {betti final for nine years, they would not let it pass them by.— let it pass them by. gets a penalty t ! let it pass them by. gets a penalty try! exeter— let it pass them by. gets a penalty try! exeter have _ let it pass them by. gets a penalty try! exeter have played _ let it pass them by. gets a penalty try! exeter have played in - let it pass them by. gets a penalty try! exeter have played in the - let it pass them by. gets a penalty try! exeter have played in the last| try! exeter have played in the last six finals and _ try! exeter have played in the last six finals and won _ try! exeter have played in the last six finals and won three. - try! exeter have played in the last six finals and won three. they - try! exeter have played in the last six finals and won three. they are j six finals and won three. they are english rugby's consistent machine, first exeter drew level then went ahead but harlequins defiantly stayed in the game. quins went back and front then 12 points ahead but in this thrilling match, back came the chiefs again. this is the great and resolve that has got them this far. but still, remarkably, another twist. this match had so many stars, but the last ten minutes belonged to a 21—year—old. two tries gave queen's the sensational win. in its biggest match and one of the hardest seasons, english rugby got one

incredible finish. we saw one of the most dramatic opening stages in tour de france history with two huge crashes and a stunning solo effort from world champion julian alaphillipe to take the leader's yellow jersey. britain's geraint thomas avoided the worst of the chaos to finish alongside most of his main rivals. drew savage reports. you don'tjust need to keep your eyes on the road... but spectators too. in the first week, it's vital for the main contenders, like geraint thomas, to make it through unscathed. 181i riders negotiating the roads of the brittany countryside isn't easy. a second crash in the last five miles, the field split. chris froome, riding his first tour for three years after injury, lost 1a minutes, although he did eventually finish the stage. a much—reduced leading pack raced
7:52 pm
away and a clear picture emerged in the last mile and a half, as the rainbow striped jersey of the world champion, julian alaphilippe, left the peloton trailing in his wake. he had time to savour the moment, it's 20 years since a frenchman last won the first stage of the tour. while behind him the three race favourites, primoz roglic, tadej pogacar and geraint thomas all ensured they're still in contention, others weren't so lucky. drew savage, bbc. defending champion lizzie deignan finished ninth in la course — the one—day women's version of the race. dutchwoman demi vollering won the sprint to claim her first title. next year the one—day race will be replaced by an eight—day tour de france for the first time since 1989. championship leader max verstappen will start on pole position for styrian grand prix in austria. he was a class apart in his red bull at the red bull ring although when he looks in his mirrors tomorrow — he's just ahead of lewis hamilton and lando norris in third. nick parrott has more.
7:53 pm
this is red bull's track but they had never previously put a car on pole for their home race. lewis hamilton won from the front last year but times are changing. max verstappen now was the man to beat. his devoted fans in for a treat. this short track it was cornering that was costing hamilton time. first to go out in the final session, he set the benchmark. his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas stated it but 13 place mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas stated it but i3 place grid penalty for the firm met that didn't matter. verstappen was quick, smooth and stable producing two laps that no one could beat. it’s stable producing two laps that no one could beat.— one could beat. it's going to be better but _ one could beat. it's going to be better but it — one could beat. it's going to be better but it was _ one could beat. it's going to be better but it was good - one could beat. it's going to be better but it was good enough l one could beat. it's going to be i better but it was good enough and one could beat. it's going to be - better but it was good enough and i think the whole weekend we had been quite competitive and it was quite easy to set up the car, so that's always what you like. still easy to set up the car, so that's always what you like.— easy to set up the car, so that's always what you like. still on the front now- _ always what you like. still on the front now. obviously _ always what you like. still on the front now. obviously after- always what you like. still on the front now. obviously after the i front now. obviously after the penalty, — front now. obviously after the penalty, so... idid front now. obviously after the penalty, so... i did everything i

7:55 pm
but the timing was incorrect and was adjusted back. asha philip came second. both are bound for toyko. european champion zharnel hughes was disqualified for a false start in the men's100 metres. he'd been the fastest qualifier for the final. the race was won by cee—jay ujah. hughes is now at the mercy of selectors. there was a fantastic performance from holly bradshaw. she set a new british record in the pole vault who leapt to four metres 90. that's a personal best outdoors and puts her third the shock of the day so far has seen andrew pozzi here in the middle in yellow, surprisingly beaten into third place in the 110 metres hurdles final. he already had the qualifying time before today, but needed a first two placing to guarantee his trip to toyko.
7:56 pm
his fate will be decided by selectors next week. tade ojura won, but his time wasn't fast enough to guarantee selection. it's finals weekend in the netball superleague. semis today. final tomorrow where team bath will play old rivals loughborough lightning. bath booked their place in the decider by beating defending champions manchester thunder 41—38. they're chasing a sixth title — their last coming back in 2013. a little more one sided in the other semi at the copperbox with table toppers loughborough easing past leeds rhinos 58—38. this will be their fourth final, but they're yet to win one. england thrashed wales 102—22 in a wheelchair rugby league international in sheffield. with the half—time score 42—10, england continued to dominate with man of the match nathan collins scoring a try and 12 conversions in an emphatic victory. just a reminder that italy against austria is just getting underway on bbc one right now in the last 16 of the euros. from me, the team and those working
