after a dramatic seventeenth stage. the norwegian — 0dd christian eiking — had been wearing the leader's red jersey but crashed. then roglic�*s next rival in the mountains, egan bernal, was looking like he would take the win with 31 miles to go — but roglic stuck to him, and five miles from the finish the slovenian surged away to claim the stage victory and the overall lead by nearly two—and—a—half minutes. the us open tennis is well under way, and it's fair to say it hasn't been an auspicious start for the british contingent, with murray's first—round exit and jo konta having to pull out before it even started — but, once again, the flag is being flown by the teenager emma raducanu. david lawjoins me from the 5live tennis team. you're supposed to be covering dan evans's match, but you're speaking to us. she had an easy first match, but still proving this sensational teenager that she can do it on the biggest stage?— teenager that she can do it on the bineststare? , , . .,

centuries in all three tests and is the series' top run—scorer, with 507 runs. he began the year ninth in the charts, but nowjumps above new zealand's kane williamson to become the number—one test batsman. the series is level at 1—1, with the fourth test starting tomorrow at the oval. moeen ali will be root�*s vice captain for the first time. it's an absolute honour. if you are a captain or vice captain of your country, then it's a massive honour, and to be a part of the team, to come into the series later on... obviously due to ben stokes just not being here, for me it shows what the guys think of me. england's women's cricketers are in action right now in the first of three t20's against new zealand. the game has only been going half an hour.
