fresher air, 19 degrees in plymouth. still 29, that is a big the contrast, there will be a nasty weather front bringing contrast, there will be a nasty weatherfront bringing big downpours and thunder and lightning. that will spread across the country wednesday night, into thursday, you can see the thrust of the showers moves touted the west and the north. but i think anywhere possible, those downpours on thursday. and quite a bit low to their temperatures, we are back into the low 205. some of that heat hanging on to east anglia. a brief spell, let us call it a mini heat wave. enjoy it why it lasts. that's all from the bbc news at six so it's goodbye from me , hello there, and welcome along to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun.

a ruthless display from india's bowlers... as england crumble to lose the fourth test at the oval. emma raducanu gets set for one of the biggest matches of her fledgling career — can the 18—year—old brit overcome a home favourite at the us open? and team europe look to make history in america's backyard — in the last leg of the solheim cup. we'll be in ohio for the latest. also coming up in the programme... chaos in the world cup qualifier between brazil and argentina. four premier league stars are marched off over an alleged covid violation. and tears ofjoy for double paralympic champion maisie summers—newton, who returns home to a hero's welcome.

hello and welcome to sportsday. it was a cruel day for england at the oval... a devastating final day from india's bowlers, taking 10 wickets — saw the visitors win the fourth test by 157 runs and go 2—1 up in the series. england resumed on 77 without loss, and faced with a target of 368 for victory. they lost two wickets in the morning session — rory burns reached 50 but was out next ball. his fellow opener haseeb hameed made 63, but when he fell after lunch — that sparked a mini collapse, which really rocked england. their confidence perhaps falling as they lost 4 wickets forjust 6 runs. ollie pope and johnny bairstow fell to jasprit bumrah. joe root briefly stopped the rot, but no mammoth scores from him this time. once he was removed india mopped up the tail, james anderson the last to go. england all out, then, for 210, and india have the momentum again, ahead of the final test at old trafford on friday.

first time that we've not managed to get something from the game. i think we've played some good stuff throughout the last five days and the position we got ourselves into coming into today you'd expect us to walk away with at least a draw and it is frustrating that we stood here having lost the test match but i think credit has to go to india, jasperin think credit has to go to india, jasper in particular. that spell after lunch there was what really turned the game and, you know, i think we look at that is something that we can manage better moving forward. but i also think we've got to look at the whole test match and other areas where we could have been a bit more ruthless and a bit more critical. we love being written off and i think_ we love being written off and i think a — we love being written off and i think a lot of people really stood up think a lot of people really stood up and _ think a lot of people really stood up and said can india really come back? _ up and said can india really come back? we — up and said can india really come back? we have shown time and again that we _ back? we have shown time and again that we have a top side and we have been _ that we have a top side and we have been a _ that we have a top side and we have been a top _ that we have a top side and we have been a top side for a while now and that been atop side for a while now and that is_ been a top side for a while now and that is because the of the passion

that is because the of the passion that the _ that is because the of the passion that the group of wrought, if as special— that the group of wrought, if as special if— that the group of wrought, if as special if not more than lord's. so, lots at stake, then, for england ahead of the final test at old trafford, this friday. i spoke to the bbc�*s cricket reporter, henry this is an oval surface yes, in the first innings where india were bowled out and offered quite a lot to the bowlers but as the game has gone on this has been a pitch which has been quite docile and to have managed to get the kind of opportunities they did, ten of them to get the england wickets they needed today is impressive because these are quite good batting conditions. you can see behind me it is a glorious day here in london and looking at the conditions this morning there was no question england would have been hopeful of getting at least a draw in this game so if you do of credit to india. in terms of england's performance as you alluded to, how let down what they feel not being able to make a big score today we they feel not being able to make a big score toda— they feel not being able to make a big score today we spoke to joe root is the cause — big score today we spoke to joe root is the cause of— big score today we spoke to joe root is the cause of play _

the stadium can hold 2a,000 people and they are not going to be against and they are not going to be against a nevada cannabis but they are largely going to be for rogers so once again that is something she is native to deal with the fact they are not going to be against emma raducanu but they are likely going to be four shall be rogers so once again it is something she has to deal with. again it is something she has to dealwith. ~ , :, �* deal with. also the summer, i don't thin an deal with. also the summer, i don't thing any of — deal with. also the summer, i don't thing any of us _ deal with. also the summer, i don't thing any of us could _ deal with. also the summer, i don't thing any of us could have - deal with. also the summer, i don't thing any of us could have done - thing any of us could have done this, she has passed two a—levels, a star maths, unique in its, pass a driving test, continue to play, visa final of the tonic in the lead up to the us open and she is like a sponge and the people i speak to who have worked with her for many years she soaked it up. ito tell her something once, she is a dream student, she does it and she learns. the progression she has made, should she win this evening and make it in the quarterfinals as she has got a really good shot she will be as high as 7a in the world and when you think a senior career started just three orfour months think a senior career started just three or four months ago. it? think a senior career started just three orfour months ago. it? the progress? dan evans, he went out,

but to one of the favourites — daniil medvedev — progression for him? i think he really is. i think what has been tough for dan evans as he contracted covid—19 just before the olympics and had to withdraw and he talks about how physically the token effects that have on him and he said to his fate he is not sure he would recover from to his fate he is not sure he would recoverfrom it to his fate he is not sure he would recover from it with long covid and everything that comes from it but he was taking no prisoners, hasn't dropped a set to this tournament, says it feels good and he could do big things undone our finns did well, first provence lost in straight sets, really happy considering he went to covid—19 and has to keep his fitness up and medvedev expected to see him in the final probably against novak djokovic and if he has got enough energy left is to try and keep it to the end of the season. much mac in terms of dan evans ranking the top 20 potentially looks in vain right now. but he says of the top ten? it

is a big ask going from the top 20 to the top ten. he beat novak djokovic in monte carlo and won his first title and he's really stepping things up on his progression, fitness and training and top ten yes. top ten is going to be difficult with the playground at the moment but he does have a game. he is coming towards the latter stages of his career but he has got the energy, the determination, the drive, so why not?— and another female teenager making headlines at this year's tournament is leyla fernandez — she's into the quarters after kerber and osaka, two major winners. how impressed have you been with her? absolutely frightening as a player. she actually turns 19 today so happy birthday to her. she is still a teenager, left—handed player, look so sweet and innocent inlets on court and she has got to stop. she took down the defending champion naomi osaka. the hardest thing to do is back up a win like that. you are mentally exhausted and physically

exhausted and she then took it to the 2016 champion angelique kerber over three sets. that is one of the highest quality tennis matches i have seen in a long, long time. she was a set and 2—5 down, turn it round, backed up, got through and she was a force. this is about the teenagers! you got emma raducanu, al fernandez, teenagers or rising to the challenge.— fernandez, teenagers or rising to the challenge. very exciting. thank ou ve the challenge. very exciting. thank you very much _ the challenge. very exciting. thank you very much indeed. _ it is all to play for in the solheim cup, with europe hoping to retain their trophy against america. the final day is now under way in ohio — with the singles matches. europe came into the day's play with a two—point lead. they've only won the solheim cup away from home just once before, back in 2013 in colorado. our golf correspondent iain carter is there for us. and is across the action. what's been happening so far? nationally, i would say, europe had the upper hand but it is absolute bedlam here in the atmosphere on the

first team really is quite extraordinary. very, very hostile albeit within a sporting environment for the europeans who had next to no support whatsoever but they do have a nine points to seven advantage that means that they only have to win five points to retain the trophy from the 12 singles. one point to each match, half a point of it is tied and as they stand out on the golf course at the moment they were heading three of the matches and the americans at the head too and they have foursquare in the early stages of this final day singles. lpaling have foursquare in the early stages of this final day singles.— of this final day singles. who have been the standout _ of this final day singles. who have been the standout players - of this final day singles. who have been the standout players from i of this final day singles. who have i been the standout players from both sides? the been the standout players from both sides? :, been the standout players from both sides? . , . :, , sides? the real standout player has been leona — sides? the real standout player has been leona maguire, _ sides? the real standout player has been leona maguire, first - sides? the real standout player has been leona maguire, first irish - been leona maguire, first irish woman to play in the cup, 3.5 points out of four, six holes into her match. the standout player i think most people would regard the americans isjennifer who like americans is jennifer who like maguire americans isjennifer who like maguire is making her solheim cup debut and maguire is off to a flyer.

discussions walked on but no more football was played. afterwards, their star lionel messi said he asked the question. we have been here for three days. why are you doing this just now? reports said the officials tried to stop the match before kick—off but haven't got them in time so an hour and from place stopping the batch was suspended and soon argentina's whole squad when a flight home. translation:— squad when a flight home. translation: n,, :, :, :, translation: most of all i felt rage because all the _ translation: most of all i felt rage because all the argentinians - translation: most of all i felt rage because all the argentinians wanted | because all the argentinians wanted to play that match and beat brazil again in their own country. i feel rage and sadness for what has happened. for rage and sadness for what has happened-— happened. for england's were tottenham — happened. for england's were tottenham players. _ happened. for england's were tottenham players. premier. happened. for england's were - tottenham players. premier league clubs have made a pact that players wouldn't be released to play in ventless countries. neither club has said how they got to sao paulo. fifa said how they got to sao paulo. fifa said they regret the scenes, which stopped millions of fans from enjoying a match. instead, those in
