under party rules, facing a similar challenge for 12 months. he could face one sooner. i mean, if the conservative party are really serious about asking borisjohnson, about getting rid of borisjohnson, they probably ought to wait 12 months anyway, because the economic situation is going to worsen so significantly in the next year that whoever they replace borisjohnson with would have a real mountain to climb over the next 12 months. so really, if they are thinking forward to the next general election, who should be leading the party, and trying to lead it to victory, perhaps it would be better holding fire, waiting 12 months to see if the economic dust settles, if the cost of living crisis starts to abate, see if they can chip away at the nhs backlog, and then look to be appointed a new leader. just a minute left. — appointed a new leader. just a minute left, wimbledon, - appointed a new leader. just a l minute left, wimbledon, talking about mountains... down and out, john is no beating andy murray.

good evening. andy murray's wimbledon is over after he was beaten byjohn isner in four sets. the second—round exit is the earliest murray has ever been knocked out of wimbledon. the 20th seed isner has a powerful serving game. the american used that to win the first sets on centre court. murray, though, did fight back, he took the third set on a tie break getting the crowd fired up in the process, but in the whole match he had just two break point opportunities. isner goes through and for murray at 35, his wimbledon is over, but even his opponent wants him to stick around on the tour. iam most i am most definitely not a better tennis player than andy murray, i mightjust have been a bit better than him today, but it was an incredible honour to play him on this court, in front of this crowd. to play as well as i did against one

of our greatest players ever, andy murray, was a huge accomplishment for me. he is a massive inspiration to each one of us in the locker room and we are so lucky to still have him. well, after that match, murray sat down with the bbc and was asked whether this would be the last we see of him on centre court. i don't know. i would like to, but planning — i don't know. i would like to, but planning long term is extremely difficult — planning long term is extremely difficult. providing my body holds up, difficult. providing my body holds up. i_ difficult. providing my body holds up. iwill— difficult. providing my body holds up, i will compete as long as i can. if i up, i will compete as long as i can. if i feel— up, i will compete as long as i can. if i feel i _ up, i will compete as long as i can. if i feel i can— up, i will compete as long as i can. if i feel i can still compete at the highest — if i feel i can still compete at the highest level against the best players — highest level against the best players. but it's impossible to make lorig-term _ players. but it's impossible to make long—term plans when you have a metal— long—term plans when you have a metal hip — emma raducanu's luck wasn't much better. the british number one's championships came to an abrupt end as she was beaten by caroline garcia in straight sets. raducanu was beaten by the world number 55 garcia, and the briton's now gone out in the second round in each of the last three majors since her incredible us open triumph last september.

she says grand slams are now a different experience one year on. the players know me better, i think that's a big thing, and they obviously want to beat me. so they raise their game, and they are playing great. caroline played a really good match. but also, ifeel likejust really good match. but also, ifeel like just being able to have put myself in a position to play this tournament, you know, i've played like seven hours in the last month. i need to up that, the physical aspect, of course. it hasn't all been doom and gloom for british players today — the men's number one, cameron norrie is into the third round. he had to come through in five sets to beat spain's jaume munar, who looked to be suffering with cramp. norrie will face the american stevejohnson next. he knocked out britain's ryan peniston in their second round match. harriet dart became the tenth british player to make it through to the second round, which is the most since 1984.

she beat rebeca masarova 6—1, 6—4 in a delayed first round match due to the rain and faces eighth seed jessica pegula tomorrow. and for the second time this week, heather watson's match will span two days. the british numberfour�*s clash with wang qiang was suspended for bad light with watson just one game away from victory. away from the brits, there was an easy win for novak djokovic in his second round match. he beat thanasi kokkinakis of greece in straight sets in the first match of the day on centre. patrick gearey reports. the door isn't always open for novak djokovic these days, unvaccinated and unwelcome in new york and australia, wimbledon offered him another precious chance for a grand slam title. he started the tournament slowly, but today he had his eye in. he won three of the

first four games, kokkinakis was cornered, trying to remember plans and formulate answers against a man already on the next question. kokkinakis had previously described djokovic as a brick wall. wherever you hit it, it keeps bouncing back at you. until eventually the wall wins. the kind of match where you only really needed to watch half the court. when djokovic plays like this, there is very little anyone can do. in the end, kokkinakis thought it best not to look. on centre, there is no soap to hide behind. in a complicated yearfor novak djokovic, this was superbly simple. straight sets, and straight forward, as it gets. —— no so far. it's been a rain affected day in taunton where england's women are playing their one—off test against south africa. in the women's game,

tests last four days so there's just one left now to salvage a result. but in the brief time england did get to bowl at their opponents, they took some wickets. two for issy wong in the evening session have left south africa on 55 for 3 in their second innings at the close, still 78 behind england's first innings total. before i go, one word of transfer news at chelsea. the man they signed for nearly £100 million last august, is on his way out this summer. striker romelu lukaku is going back to former club inter milan on a season long loan. the italian serie a side will pay chelsea a loan fee of 8 million euros. lukaku had said in an interview before christmas that he wasn't happy with his role in the chelsea side. and that's all the sport for now. hello. sunny spells are part of the weather story for thursday, but showers will also feature, and some of those will be heavy, possibly thundery, quite slow—moving as well given very light winds.

some more persistent rain to start the day across parts of northern ireland, particularly out towards the east. that rain also drifting northwards across scotland through the afternoon, tending to become confined to the far north, and then we're into sunshine and showers — heavy, thundery, slow—moving showers. cloud maybe bringing some rain into parts of east kent and suffolk and norfolk coasts as well. top temperatures north to south, 16—21 degrees. that's not particularly impressive for this time of year. through thursday night, we will see some showers continuing and some rain perhaps working back into eastern parts of scotland. dry weather elsewhere and temperatures for most of us holding up in double digits. there will be some showers around again on friday, longer spells of rain for some, but as we move through the weekend, the showers will become fewer and further between, more in the way of dry weather and some spells of sunshine.
