10:51 pm
whole crowd is amazing but there's a few guys in there who were... cheering. getting me fired up. cheering. gettin: me fired u. . getting me fired up. yeah, i needed eve one's getting me fired up. yeah, i needed everyone's help _ getting me fired up. yeah, i needed everyone's help tonight, _ getting me fired up. yeah, i needed everyone's help tonight, and - getting me fired up. yeah, i needed everyone's help tonight, and yeah, l everyone's help tonight, and yeah, they did a greatjob. and yet, i had some great shots at the end to finish it, but it was a tough match. while earlier, british number one dan evans moved through to the third round. he beat serbia's dusan lajovic in straight sets, winning 6—3, 6—3, 6—a. world number one novak djokovic is also into round three. in a repeat of the 2018 final, he beat south africa's kevin anderson in straight sets in a match that lasted less than two hours. there was a shock in the women's draw as the canadian fifth seed and former us open champion bianca andreescu was beaten by alize cornet, winning just three games in the process. britain's katie boulter nearly caused a huge shock of her own.
10:52 pm
she won the first set against second seed aryna sabalenka, but boulter couldn't hang on — with the belarusian winning the next two sets to reach the third round. and british 18—year—old emma raducanu showed talent with victory on her wimbledon debut. she beat russian vitalia diatchenko in straight sets after trailing a—i in the first. everton have appointed rafa benitez as their new manager, the former liverpool boss signing a three year deal. it'll be a controversial appointment with some, given the spaniards association with everton's rivals. the 61—year—old's lastjob was in china and, apart from winning the champions league with liverpool, he's also managed chelsea, where won the europa league, and newcastle in the premier league. benitez succeeds carlo ancelotti, but what do toffees fans think? surprised, really.
10:53 pm
i did not think we've ever get to the point where benitez would be taking charge at everton, and you have been seeing those photos on the website today where it looks a little bit weird. personally i'm a bit disappointed. to go with a manager that was once great, but i'm not entirely sure is a great manager any more, and unfortunately, like you said, has got a history with our archrivals. he is would be somebody who was good be scrutinised from the off and if results don't go their way pressure will begin to mount because he is out of credit in the bank. tottenham hotspur have confirmed the appointment of the former wolves boss, nuno espirito santo, as the club's new manager. nuno replaces his fellow portuguesejose mourinho, who was sacked in april and he signs a two—year deal. manchester united have agreed a fee in principle with borussia dortmund for england wingerjadon sancho. it's understood united will pay dortmund around £73 million for the 21—year—old, who joined them from manchester city in 2017 and he's agreed a five—year deal with the option of a further year. the football association have returned their ticket allocation for england's euro 2020 quarter

final in rome, with uk—based fans unable to travel to the game. the stadio 0limpico will have a capacity of 16,000, of which 2,500 tickets, which will now be available to registered england fans who don't live in the uk via the uefa website. there's a five—day quarantine period for those arriving in italy, so anybody heading out for the match against ukraine won't be out of isolation in time. meanwhile, the players that started the historic 2—0 win over germany at wembley were given the day off training today, instead just taking a stroll around st george's park. the rest were involved in a light session and raheem sterling who's scored three goals in the tournament including one against germany says there's work to be done still. it's been good, don't get me wrong. up it's been good, don't get me wrong. up to this point, it's been a good campaign so far. but as i said, it wasa great
10:55 pm
campaign so far. but as i said, it was a great victory last night against germany. but now, you know, for it to be even better, we need to keep pushing. at the tour de france, defending champion tadej pogacar put in a blistering time trial to win stage five and move within eight seconds of race leader mathieu van der poel. britain's geraint thomas put in the best ride he could, having dislocated his shoulder in a crash on monday, but lost time on his rivals finishing 16th. pogacar was one minute, 18 seconds quicker than thomas. he looks in great form and very much the man to beat for the overall title. england's women have beaten india by five wickets in the second one day international in taunton. mithali raj top scored with 59 for india while kate cross was england's star with the ball, taking five for sa — captain heather knightjust hanging on to this catch. england recovered from 133—5 thanks to an unbeaten partnership of 92 between sophia dunkley and katherine brunt. brunt hit the winning runs as england made it successive 0di wins. the third match is in worcester on saturday. england are now 6—2 up
10:56 pm
in the multi—format series. salford's next two super league games against wakefield and hull fc have been postponed after two players tested positive for covid—19 and six have been identified as close contacts. 0n the pitch this evening warrington wolves made it six successive wins, with jake mamo scoring a hat—trick in their a0—1a win over wigan while the warriors have now last their last four. for more on that and every thing else, you can head to the bbc sports website. but that's all your sport for now. hello there. the first couple of days ofjuly look pretty similar to how we ended the month ofjune on, and that's with quite a lot of dry weather around with some sunshine. but there will be some showers around, too. generally isolated, but they will be quite heavy and slow moving
10:57 pm
where you catch them, as there will be very little wind to move them on. that's because we're in between weather systems, as you can see here, this weak area of high pressure building in. this is the area of low pressure which has brought a lot of grey, damp weather across eastern parts of the country throughout the week so far. it will still be close enough to bring further grey, damp, drizzly weather from east anglia up towards northumberland, but a much drierand brighter day, ithink, for the southeast of england. elsewhere, early cloud clearing to allow for some sunny spells, but we could see a few isolated showers here and there. perhaps a bit of low cloud and mist lapping on to western england and west wales' coastline. and it will be warmer where you have the sunshine — low 20s celsius — but cooler along the east coast. so a better looking day for wimbledon for thursday and friday. more sunshine around. it'll feel warmer, but it does turn more unsettled as we head on into the weekend thanks to a new area of low pressure. through thursday night, any showers should tend to fade away. and again, we'll see variable amounts of cloud, a bit of mist and fog here and there and some clear spells. and for most of us, i think those temperatures holding in double figures, the odd single value there under clear skies and some
10:58 pm
of the glens in the north. so to end the week, again, a similar pressure pattern, but this area of low pressure is heading towards our shores just in time for the weekend. so for friday, then, there will be variable cloud to start with, a bit of mist too, but it looks like that will melt away. we should see some good spells of sunshine. the thinking is now we could see a few more showers around on friday, pretty much anywhere, but especially across central and southern scotland. it will be heavy, and with light winds, they will be slow—moving as well. but top temperatures, again, 22—23 celsius. then into the weekend, low pressure takes over, it becomes more unsettled for all of us. and you can see it moving here from the southwest. could bring a spell of more prolonged rain across england and wales on saturday. further north could see some heavy, slow moving showers. into sunday, it looks like the whole of the uk will see a mixture of sunny spells and heavy, perhaps thundery showers. so temperature—wise, because there will be more cloud around and showers, not quite as warm as how we've ended the week — temperatures ranging from high teens to the low 20s.
