arrived at the hotel venue a little around sometime after six o'clock this evening, quite a slowjourney out of the training camp. because of the number of people at the camp. on their last visit there. people who wanted to show their appreciation and send them off from st george's park in style. as they left and headed to the hotel near watford where they will spend the night. as a gareth circuit was saying as far as he concern that routine for every evening kick—off is exactly the same and they will do everything the same tomorrow as they previously have and they will actually prepare that way. and create a sense of continuity rather than overdoing the drama, it will be hard enough i imagined for the players to keep their feet firmly on the ground tomorrow in the circumstances but gareth southgate says he and harry kane on the other leaders in the team are doing their

best to ensure that. lets talk more football in but before that all the action from the ladies final at wimbledon, it's time tojoin the team ladies final at wimbledon, it's time to join the team for sportsday. hello. you're watching sportsday with me ben croucher. your headlines this saturday.... ashleigh barty is the new wimbledon champion. we'll have all the reaction from a memoralbe final at the all england club. there's another big final in london tomorrow. we'll be live at wembley 2a hours out from euro 2020 showpiece between england and italy. and the lions take some blows against the sharks — but continue their winning tour in south africa.

we'll have details of england's second one dayer against pakistan too but we'll start on centre court, where ashleigh barty fulfilled her dream of becoming wimbledon champion. 50 years after her idol yvonne goolagong won the title for the first time, barty�*s three set win over karolina pliskova underlines her status as the world number one. we'll have reaction from the all england club in a second but firstjoe wilson reports on swi9's newest champion. deep breath, step forwards. two women who'd played every kind of occasion except a wimbledon final. five foot five versus six foot one — ash barty overcame karolina pliskova's height. that's tremendous. pliskova battled her own nerves, fearsome serve gone within the first set. ——with it the first set. between navratilova and king, urgent discussions in the royal box. all spectators wanted

a worthy final. the second set produced the back—and—forth tension that is tennis. pliskova at the net had to win this point, didn't she? that moment went to barty. the second set went to a tie—break. in the capacity crowd, you come to sit down — you want a reason to stand up. that's pliskova's husband. one set all. it had become a captivating final, right up until the deciding point in the third set. a private moment of triumph for ashleigh barty in front of the world. it took me a long time to verbalise the fact that i wanted to dare to dream and say i wanted to win this incredible tournament and being able to live out my dream right now with everyone here, it's made it better than i could ever have imagined. 50 years ago, another indigenous australian, the great evonne goolagong, won this title on this court. that's inspiration. i hope i made evonne proud. aww. you did, you did. all in all, on centre court,

ash barty did everyone proud. whilst the men's wimbledon final is tomorrow — there may well be a few more eyes about 10 miles further north at wembley stadium come 8 o'clock where england are taking on italy in the euro 2020 final. both camps have arrived in london ahead of the big game and we've been hearing from the england boss gareth southgate in the last few minutes too. john watson has been following england all tournament and is at wembley right now. john — what's southgate been saying? he said today it was business as usual. he said the team prepare as they have done for any other match, possibly walk around the team hotel tomorrow ahead of travelling to wednesday. he praised the challenge and experience of facing his side and experience of facing his side and said the team cannot lose focus ahead of such a big game. he showed his lighter side when asked about the three lion song he said he could

not listen to it for 15 years after his penalty miss at euro 96, saying it brought back bad memories. showing he was in a relaxed mood. he spoke about the energy of playing here at wembley in front of the fans, the unity between fans and players and said this will be a huge motivating factor ahead of the game tomorrow and said he's not allowed himself to think too far down the line about potentially winning for the very first time. he confirmed that phil foden remains an injury doubt but said this will be a special moment and the players now built up huge resilience and are prepared for whatever will be thrown at them. this was a moment to represent our time _ this was a moment to represent our time what— this was a moment to represent our time. what had gone before is not unimportant because we recognise the contribution other people have made and we _ contribution other people have made and we are _ contribution other people have made and we are respectful of that but the near— and we are respectful of that but the near misses and the tournaments that have _ the near misses and the tournaments

don't this 33 match unbeaten run. very hard to spot these teams, very tight contest but arguably england will not have a better chance to get over the line in a major tournament and with 60,000 fans cheering england on tomorrow at the italian fans will be outnumbered and england arguably it will not get a better chance to achieve their ultimate goal of winning the biggest prize on the biggest stage. it will be a little bit louder this time tomorrow behind you, thank you very much. from the home of english football to the home of cricket, where england's second string have wrapped up their one—day series against pakistan with a game to spare. with a covid outbreak ruling out the initial squad, ben stokes' new look side defended a relatively low score at lord's to take an unassailable 2—0 lead in the series. adam wild has more. at lauds a second look at the new look england. but the main squat a silly thing here what another chance for the standards stand out.

risen quickly to a half century and beyond. that was before he went a step too far. pakistan batted in the first game were better here —— battered in the first game. the clatter of the stamps echoed down the line, ben stokes stolen, england struggling a little. lose gregory added a0. whilst england's personnel may have changed their class remains. babarazam is may have changed their class remains. babar azam is ranked the best one—day batsmen in the world but did not last long, wickets were always falling and when england's total came in sight, the wickets ran out. to rugby union now, where the scoreline said easy win but it wasn't quite that straightforward for the british and irish lions in their latest tour match in south africa. they ran in 11 tries in a 71—31 over sharks, but only after one game—changing incident. michael redford can tell us more.

the sharks against the lions, three days on from their last match the lions were aiming for another straightforward win. complacency is a dangerous thing and just ask elliot davey. one mistake moments later he and his team—mates punished. the sharks only scored one try on wednesday, the two here inside 1a minutes. captainjamie inside 1a minutes. captain jamie george inside 1a minutes. captainjamie george drew them level but not for long. again the lines responded and again soon behind. eight tries in the first half, 26—26 at half—time. time for the sharks not to do anything silly but an elbow thrown and red card shown and the match changed and the sharks could not compete any more. 71—31 at the final

score, next stop, cape town. england fly half marcus smith has been called up by the british and irish lions to act as cover for scotland's finn russell, who'll miss their next three matches with an achilles problem. smith was playing for england as they thrashed canada at twickenham this afternoon. the home side ran in ten tries, including three for adam radwan. jamie blamire also scored a hat—trick in a 70—1a win. wales drew with argentina in cardiff. the pumas were down to 1a men, but then scored two tries to give them a 1a—point lead. but wales responded and scored two tries of their own to make it 20—20, and they could have won it late on but missed a last—minute penalty. the tour de france is heading towards the serious slopes of the pyrenees but before the big climbs in the days to come, an undulating trek to quillan greeted the riders on saturday. and as all the main contenders emerged unscathed, dutchman bauke mollema took the plaudits with a fine solo attack to the finish line. nick parrott watched this one... before the stage more

congratulations for mark cavendish after his record equalling victory yesterday. the british sprinter will have to wait almost a week for his next chance with the race moving into the pyrenees for five demanding mountain stages. while for cavendish it was a bit finishing inside the cut time for overall leader it was just about keeping an eye on his rivals. all the action was happening up rivals. all the action was happening up the road were michael woods was fancying his chances. fans following the tour will do all sorts to get noticed. but he could not match this balancing act, not long after taking the lead his hopes came crashing down. with the canadian slipping up, bauke mollema stepped up, the dutchman attacking with 26 miles to go. his rivals could not catch him on the final climb allowing him to cruise to the finish alone to claim just a second tour win of his career. this time tomorrow, we'll be finishing the national anthems ahead

of that england italy game. 60,000 will be at wembley but england's players got a great send off from their st george's park training base this afternoon as thousands of fans — albeit not socially distanced fans — cheered them on their way. build up is on bbc one from 6:20 tomorrow evening. we'll have all the build—up throughout the day on bbc news, too, but from me, the team and those working from home, thanks for watching. hope to see you again soon. we've still got a few showers around this evening, and tomorrow's actually going to be quite similar. further showers in the forecast, one or two of them could be heavy and thundery. but through the night, it's largely clear across most of the uk. not cold by any means —13—1a degrees, i think, for most of us. and then tomorrow, plenty

of brightness right from the word go, but notice there is some weather here out towards the west, and that will make its way into south—western parts of the uk through the afternoon. so, it will be raining across the west country, parts of wales and heavy, possibly thundery showers in the north east of england and also across scotland. and for the all—important euro cup final 2020, it is looking like there'll be one or two showers around there in wembley. now, here's the forecast for monday, lots of showers about as well. the heaviest of the ones across western and northern areas. again one or two thundery. in the sunshine, around 20 degrees or so.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. england's footballers have arrived at their hotel near london ahead of tomorrow's match against italy in the final of euro 2020. england manager gareth southgate says his team want to �*bring the trophy home', ahead of the historic match it always comes back to tomorrow. we are in a final and we are here to win. we are in a final and we are here to win. italy are unbeaten in 33 games — they've now arrived in the uk, hoping to win their second euros trophy. the taliban rapidly retakes land across afghanistan as the us—led mission withdraws the last of its troops.
