much. that's it for the papers. sport and weather coming next. more news at the top of the hour. bye for now. hello. golfer louis oostheuizen has broken the record for the lowest score after two rounds at an open championship. the south african is three shots clear at the top of the leaderboard on 11 under par. our correspondent andy swiss reports from royal st george's. it's the closest most of us will get to the trophy — the open's favourite photo op doing a roaring trade. but others here are chasing the real thing. louis oostheuizen already won it once 11 years ago. commentator: oh, my word! and after another stunning display, he just might do it again on a remarkable 11 under par. but in the sandwich sunshine, he wasn't the only one making hay. this is collin morikawa's debut at the open.

as first impressions go, not bad. what a day he's having. these two shots back, while hopes of a home winner are led by andy sullivan, another impressive day keeping him in contention. rory mcilroy. the rory mcilroy fan club was out in force, and they got a few decent moments — but 11 shots back, his hopes looked remote. what they'd all have done for a little bit of this. england'sjonathan thompson thrilling the crowd with a hole—in—one. oh, it's in! itjust doesn't get any better. well, it's been a day of glorious weather and some equally glorious golf, but none brighter than louis oostheuizen's. on this form, he'll take some stopping. andy swiss, bbc news, sandwich. roared on by his home crowd, lewis hamilton claimed pole position for formula one's first sprint race ahead of the british grand prix on sunday.

as a government test event, 86,000 fans were at silverstone with 140,000 expected on sunday. hamilton's first lap in the final session was quick enough to secure the top spot for the new qualifying race ahead of title rival max verstappen. i'm so grateful to see everyone here. we've missed you for a whole year, so to come to the silverstone grand prix and have a full crowd like this, to see the energy... when i was coming into it, i was hopeful that with the great work that we've done together in the team, plus the energy of the fans would get us there. so, this is down to the fans, i think. england have been beaten by pakistan in the first of three t20 internationals. it was a highly entertaining game with 27 6's at trent bridge. pakistan bowled first and hit their biggest t20 tally, reaching 232 — captain babarazam top scoring with 85. it would also have been england's highest run chase, and after a shaky start,

liam livingstone gave them hope scoring england's fastest t20 century — a spectacular 103 off 43 balls. but once he was out, the task was too great and pakistan went on to win by 31 runs. the t20 world cup is later this year in the middle east. tottenham's new manager, nuno espirito santo, insists harry kane is, in his words, "our player". the england captain's future has been the subject of much speculation over the last few months. the bbc understands kane has an "agreement" that would allow him to leave spurs this summer. but his new manager wouldn't be drawn on kane's future. he is our player, period. no need to talk about anything else. now is the moment to recover his energy, to rest, and when harry comes again, we will have time to speak and i'm looking forward to him joining the group and start working together. when he arrives, he will feel that

every one of us wants to commit ourselves to becoming better and we are ambitious people, we want to do it well, and we count on harry in that. mark cavendish will have to wait until sunday's final day of the tour de france if he's to break the record for the number of stage wins at the tour. he was hoping to take his 35th on today's 19th stage, but it was won by matej mohoric. nick parrott has the details. this was the day mark cavendish was hoping to surpass the record he shares with eddy merckz for stage wins at the tour de france. for belgium telling him before the start, i hope you get your 35th stage today. if only life was that easy. this relatively flat stage today. if only life was that easy. this relatively fiat 128 mile ride was far from smooth. an early crash almost took cavendish out. the makes man far enough away to avoid the domino effect. but another hold

him in much of the peloton up. along the road, a breakaway got away. with 16 miles ago, matej mohoric went for it. a sense of deja vu as the slovenian so load to his second win of this year's race. exactly two weeks after his first. tomorrow's time trials should see the overall victory confirmed. cavendish will have to wait until sunday to make his history. nick parrott, bbc news. and on this bumper sporting weekend, 16,000 fans will be at wembley for rugby league's show—piece — the challenge cup final. castleford will take on st helens at 3 o'clock tomorrow. castleford reached the final with a golden point kick, and they haven't won this competition since 1986, but have come so close to both league and cup success in recent years. st helens, though, will be favourites. castle heard haven't won the cup for

30 years, and i think for us to be able to win it will put our names in history. it's a long time coming for the team. we want to be remembered. that surely the point of everyone because my career — you want to be remembered. and that's all the sport for now. hello. some very warm to hot weather on the way for much of the uk this weekend. there is a weak weather front in northern scotland, and that will bring windier conditions, some cloud and the chance of a little rain, and temperatures just into the mid to high teens. in fact, this cloud becomes more extensive across western scotland into northern ireland overnight. some patches of cloud through eastern parts of england as well as temperatures drop into the mid to low teens. so, tomorrow then, eastern and southern scotland seeing some sunny spells. northwest scotland, breezy, cloudy and in places, damp. in northern ireland, a few spots of drizzle early on,

but then it brightens up, though some irish sea coasts may hold onto a bit of low cloud. any early cloud across parts of eastern england will clear away. the lion's share of the sunshine will be across england and wales, and this is where we'll see the highest temperatures. light winds for the most part, but notice it is really quite windy across north and northwest scotland. these are average speeds — gusts will be a bit higher than that. as for temperatures, we could well see 30 degrees in yorkshire on saturday.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the worst floods in europe for decades kill more than 120 people. emergency services in western germany, belgium and the netherlands search for hundreds of people still missing, and try to rescue those stranded by the floodwaters. with three days to go until most covid restrictions are lifted in england, the uk records more than 50,000 new cases in a single day, the highest since january. meanwhile the british government says people arriving from france will still need to quarantine, because of a surge in cases of the beta variant. south africa's president has addressed the nation — after days of rioting and looting —he says efforts to overthrow democracy have failed.
