rachel cunliffe, kieran andrews, in 30 minutes i will test you on green, amber, amber, red! thank you for now. good evening. it was a pretty successful day 10 of the tokyo games for great britain, where more olympic history was made. a team of oliver townend, laura collitt and tom mcewen claimed britain's first team eventing gold for 49 years. world number one oliver townend was last to go on ballaghmor class. he had one fault, but that didn't matter, because he went clear through the rest of his ride to take gb�*s 11th gold of the tokyo games. townend said it was a team effort. i didn't know how much we had in hand, actually, so i put myself under a bit of pressure, but that's normal.

but these two guys had made it very easy for me, jumping such amazing rounds. tom went in and obviously nailed the clear round. and laura's horse had a spook, but she gave him a brilliant ride as always, so just surrounded by class horses and very classy people. there'll be a big celebration, and i don't think it'll be with a cup of tea and a biscuit! and tom mcewen won as well a silver in the individual eventing final later. it was a near—perfect performance from mcewen on his horse toledo de kerser. but a superb final round from germany'sjulia krajewski was enough to take the gold. a couple of errors by team—mate oliver townend pushed him out of the medal positions, so australia's andrew hoy secured bronze at the age of 62. olympic history was also made today by laurel hubbard. she became the first openly transgender athlete to compete at a games in a different gender

category to the one in which they were born. ultimately, hubbard failed to record a successful lift in the women's over 87kg weightlifting. but in that same category today, emily campbell made history of her own, becoming the first british woman weightlifter to win an olympic medal as she finished with a silver. the 27—year—old lifted a total of 283kg, as china's li wun—wun won gold with a new olympic record of 320kg. iamjust i am just very grateful, i'm very thankful right now. i want to prove to everybody if you work hard for what you want, you can achieve it, and i hope every boy and girl watching me today wants to go out and achieve their dreams. he five done that, i've done my bestjob today. done that, i've done my best 'ob toda . ., ., ., defending champions great britain secured a place in the semi—finals of the women's hockey after a dramatic shoot—out win over spain. the match finished 2—2 in normal

time, taking it to a shoot—out, where goalkeeper maddie hinch was the hero, keeping out all of spain's efforts to take team gb to the semifinal, where they'll face the netherlands in a rematch of the 2016 olympic final. after their most successful olympics games, great britain's swimming team have returned home to heathrow. adam peaty was one of the stars, winning two golds and a silver, but he now says he plans to take three months off to recover. and he insists athletes of any sport must find their own way to recuperate to maintain both their physical and mental health. thisjob is extremely, extremely intensive, and taking nothing away from everyone else's job, intensive, and taking nothing away from everyone else'sjob, they intensive, and taking nothing away from everyone else's job, they are difficult in their own right, but support is one of those where it is 365, 20 47. so the amount of pressure but also the kind of self talk. there's so much stigma around

meta— health, firstly, especially in sport because people see us as indestructible, immortal, people who, you get every thing perfect. we are not perfect. in the men's hundred, it was a tale of two english batsmen, as the oval invincibles beat the welsh fire by six wickets. put into bat, ben duckett starred for the fire as he hit 65, as the invincibles were set 122 to win from their 100 balls. and they reached it with seven balls to spare, captain sam billings finishing unbeaten on 40, as his side secured their second win of the tournament. welsh fire's women have got their second win of the hundred. after making 112 with the bat, they restricted the oval invincibles to 100—9 in their innings to secure victory. but spare a thought for umpire sue redfern, who made the headlines for the wrong reasons, as she took a tumble to the turf. thankfully, she was fine and managed

to see the funny side of things. that's very much like me. england's cricketers will begin their five—match test series against india on wednesday. but they'll be without ben stokes. england's vice captain is taking an indefinite break to prioritise his mental health. and captainjoe root says that is far more important than anything that happens on the field of play. more than anything, ijust more than anything, i just want more than anything, ijust want my friend to be ok. i think as long as i have known band, he puts everyone else first, and i think now is an opportunity for him to put himself first, and he has my full support on that, he has the team's. annette and i hope everyone respects that and understands that. he is one of the greatest blokes i have ever played tricks with, so hopefully he can get back to being himself again. —— played cricket with. south africa's director of rugby

rassie erasmus is to face an independent misconduct hearing after his explosive criticism of the match officials in the first british and irish lions test. erasmus recorded a 62—minute video message criticising the officials, and in particular referee nic berry, over their handling of the match, which the lions won. world rugby say the "extensive and direct nature" of erasmus's criticism is a potential breach of world rugby�*s code of conduct. and harry kane didn't show up to tottenham's training ground as expected this morning amid intense speculation about his future, with manchester city interested in signing the striker. kane was due to undergo coronavirus testing today before starting training tomorrow after a three—week break following euro 2020. however, the striker didn't turn up and spurs haven't explained why. it's understood kane felt he could leave the club this summer. new manager nuno espirito santo has spoken optimistically about working with the england captain.

and that's all the sport for now. you can go to the website for all the latest. fairly quiet on the weather front out there right now, and tuesday is going to bring more of the same, sunny spells and scattered showers. and you can see some scattered showers in one or two spots across the country early in the morning. it's also going to be quite fresh underneath the clearing skies. in fact, in some spots in northern britain, it could be as low as five degrees in the countryside, but for most of us, it's around 10—12. so, lots of sunshine right from the word go, but watch the showers form across the south, parts of the midlands, lincolnshire, there could be one or two also across scotland. but generally speaking, there is going to be a lot of fine weather. however, if you do catch the shower, it will be very heavy and possibly thundery. i think the heavier ones will be

a little bit further south across the uk. temperatures up to 21 degrees, and the following few days won't bring much change. in fact, if anything, wednesday into thursday, the weather's going to turn even more unsettled.
