temperatures overnight between nine and 12 degrees. tomorrow is another sunshine and showers day, but there shouldn't be quite as many showers as we've seen over the last couple of days. quite a few drifting across scotland, where it will be breezy. some quite heavy showers for central and eastern parts of england, perhaps with the odd flash of lightning, the odd rumble of thunder. but by the afternoon, northern ireland shouldn't have too many showers. neither should wales nor the south—west of england. temperatures around 16 to 22 degrees in most places. now, as we look further ahead, it is going to turn drier for most of us, particularly in the south, where it's going to warm up as well. temperatures could approach the high 20 celsius, always a little cooler with a little rain at times in the north. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: there are warnings of further disruption for air travellers this summer, with more flights set to be cancelled in the coming weeks at heathrow, the uk's busiest airport.

7:34 pm
swiatek goes, the polish followed. she has been rocking all over the tennis world, winning her last six tournaments. surely this was only going one way? but perhaps not. before anyone could blink, a lees cornet had taken the first set, threatening an almighty upside on court 0ne. threatening an almighty upside on court one. and it only got worse in the second for swiatek, not only was cornet playing the match of her dreams but swiatek was helping her along the way. and then it was all over, swiatek�*s 37—match unbeaten run halted and for corneille, this is only the second time that she has reached the fourth round of wimbledon in 15 attempts. find

7:37 pm
kvitova. as lydia campbell was saying earlier, that women's draw thrown wide open at the moment. i got the thoughts of dom a little earlier. ., . . got the thoughts of dom a little earlier. ., .. ., , got the thoughts of dom a little earlier. ., ., , , got the thoughts of dom a little earlier. ., ., i, . earlier. you can only be somewhat surprised. — earlier. you can only be somewhat surprised, this _ earlier. you can only be somewhat surprised, this sort _ earlier. you can only be somewhat surprised, this sort of _ earlier. you can only be somewhat surprised, this sort of stray - earlier. you can only be somewhat surprised, this sort of stray cats i surprised, this sort of stray cats to end at some point, but her game is more suited to clay and bouncy surfaces, using herforehand to get the ball moving on the court. you want that so much here. few confidence can make you do amazing things but eventually, your tank starts running lower and lower and she may have run dry today. that line from cornet, _ she may have run dry today. that line from cornet, ageing like a good wine, and she felt confident going into this, she had a brilliant result again serena williams before. 32 years old, house important for someone like cornet to get a result like this at to grand summer blue she could be a contender again? she had so much — she could be a contender again? sue: had so much experience, she could be a contender again? 5ie: had so much experience, been she could be a contender again? 5“i2 had so much experience, been around for so long, share some amazing wins
7:38 pm
and she is a feisty character, great she battled hard, and that's the thing, iga swiatek is always going to have the bull's—eye on her back and cornet came forward today and proved too much with just pure energy and experience. iinfill proved too much with just pure energy and experience.- energy and experience. will be fascinating _ energy and experience. will be fascinating to _ energy and experience. will be fascinating to see _ energy and experience. will be fascinating to see what - energy and experience. will be i fascinating to see what transpires going forward with coco gauff out too, petra kvitova as well. talking about british players, today encore two, some british a price that is where the game was played, katie poulter took on harmony tan who knocked out serena williams in this event. liam broady also lost in straight sets today. joe wilson reports. court two lies on the perimeter of wimbledon court 2 lies on the perimeter of wimbledon, farfrom centrestage. far from centrestage. down there is where the tournament placed katie boulter in round three — an occasion strangely missing energy. the small arena slowly filled,
7:39 pm
boulter admitted she felt drained. at the top of the screen, her opponent was inspired. harmony tan. commentator: we've seen it all now. she'd previously knocked out serena williams, you may remember. afterjust 51 minutes, this match finished with a double fault, all rather dispiriting. unless of course you were supporting harmony. quite right. she was great. no british player matches fred perry: he won all four grand slam titles. but one man here shares his birthplace, third—best player from stockport is how liam broady has described himself. he'd excelled himself to reach round three but now faced australia's alex de minaur, the demon. commentator: goodness me, how's he doing that? _ speed, power, precision — it's a serious combination. broady was trying, like a head against a brick wall. two sets down, come on. if he kept in the rallies, kept up his standards, de minaur might falter. and that was a break back. and it became a 72—minute third set to de minaur. 7-5. but respect earned by both men.
7:40 pm
just listening to liam broady, wild card, already a great run—up for him, what does he learn from this and how does it take it forward i think he would just see it can mix with the best players in the world. he knocked out to former top ten player in the previous round and a tough opponent in these conditions. wimbledon is slower than some of the other grass courts and to come back from losing 11 games in a row, to come back and win the fourth set on a try baker, that is an amazing achievement but it would have trained him massively. and to come back ready the next day is hard to. and we saw that demon no, he was just a split second behind that play. katie poulter was emotional on centre court, she had that victory
7:41 pm
in the last round and then her grandmother died earlier in the week. and then to play again over time, all too much for poulter in the end. �* . i. , the end. and tricky when you see the opportunity. — the end. and tricky when you see the opportunity. you _ the end. and tricky when you see the opportunity, you think _ the end. and tricky when you see the opportunity, you think when - the end. and tricky when you see the opportunity, you think when you - the end. and tricky when you see the opportunity, you think when you are | opportunity, you think when you are the underdog, but now, there's a chance. and the nervous tension it kicks in, taking away the energy and all the other factors, the long season, the great successes, the issues with family at home, the sad loss, itjust takes everything out of you and she is running nothing. that was dom speaking to me a short while ago. two blockbuster matches on behind me and henman hill is being entertained at the moment. court 0ne being entertained at the moment. court one is where nick kyrgios is playing stefan tsitsipas. this was always going to be pure popcorn, let's be honest, never going to be a quiet match, two bay characters on
7:42 pm
the men's tour. tsitsipas won the first set on a tie—break but it is starting to shift since then. nick kyrgios was given a warning for swearing, you won't be surprised to hear, and then tsitsipas is certainly no shrinking violets, blasting a ball into the crowd for which he was given a warning but kyrgios saying that that wasn't enough action, he was having a 1—2 with the umpire, replay showing the ball was very close to the head of a spectator. score net kyrgios now, every single change of ends, he is having a word with the umpire. nick kyrgios at this championships in a five set match against pauljubb was given a fine for spitting in the direction of a fireman he said he was disrespected. was better behaved in the last round in a straightforward victory which got
7:43 pm
into this match again tsitsipas because he is not happy at the moment, the crowd coming to expect this from him. but tsitsipas trying to keep his cool at the moment but not doing a greatjob of that, blasting a ball into the spectator is. it is 1—1 there at the moment. and let's go to a match that is proving far more straightforward, roughly on a towel cool and calm and at leisure, sailing into second week at leisure, sailing into second week at the moment, playing lorenzo sonego, nadaltook at the moment, playing lorenzo sonego, nadal took the first set 6-1, 5-2 sonego, nadal took the first set 6—1, 5—2 up in sonego, nadal took the first set 6—1,5—2 up in the sonego, nadal took the first set 6—1, 5—2 up in the second sonego, nadal took the first set 6—1,5—2 up in the second and sonego, nadal took the first set 6—1, 5—2 up in the second and really finding his best tennis at the right time. we will keep you updated on both of those matches, but for now back to the bbc sport centre. from tennis in southwest london to rugby union in south africa, where wales were denied a first—ever victory over the springboks in their homeland with the very last kick of a pulsating contest in pretoria. earlier, england's 30—28 defeat
7:44 pm
against 14—man australia was described as painful by head coach eddiejones, whilst ireland were well—beaten in new zealand. patrick gearey rounds up the action. nearly n early 450 0 nearly 4500 feet above sea level, up against the world on top of the world, wales could have been forgiven a little vertical. in pretoria, the errors then, oxygen is scarce gas no problem for lewis rees—zammit. he flew around the world champions, taking the flight twice in the first half, wales leading by 15 at the break. so south africa returned to what they are good at, master bulldozers. it is smashed back into this. in the closing minutes creeping ahead with wales down to 12 men. somehow, this wasn't over. the well summoned enough manpower and a historic victory was one dan biggar kick
7:45 pm
away, it was that close. and it got more painful. into overtime, south africa had their only chance. winning a breathless, barely believable a earlier, a lively night in perth, no sooner had the spike settled then england pulling hair. if that was the gift that this was the butt. swain sent off in australia would need to play most of the match a man down. the england defence seemed on demand. jordan brought the wallabies level. whatever the circumstances they head relentlessly towards weakness. the england boss should know, he used to coach them. eddiejones was staring at a fourth defeat in a row. there is a world cup next year. this man will not be 21 then. he gave his team something to cling to. if you are an england fan, rememberthe name, but probably forget the game. across the tasman sea, one of the most daunting prospects in sport. new zealand have not
7:46 pm
lost here in 18 years. the way ireland started that record seemed in peril. this try was the high point. new zealand blitzed them with four tries in seven minutes. two more tests for ireland to try and come back. scotland take on argentina tonight. that kicks off at 8:10pm. after a summer of sweeping aside all before them with this new, swashbuckling style of cricket, england's momentum has ground to a halt against india in the final, rearranged test match. following rishabh pant�*s century yesterday, india's tailenders put england and specifically stuart broad — to the sword today, before the bowlers put them firmly on top at edgbaston. craig templeton reports. grey skies above edgbaston, time for another indian batter to light things up. ravindra jadeja waited patiently while his partner stole the show on day one, now it was his turn. a swish of the bat and india
7:47 pm
had another century, jadeja's first outside of his homeland, surely worth a few more switches. james anderson has in abundance. now time for some history. whenjasprit bumrah edged stuart broad forfour, there had already been 20 runs from the over. the most ever in tests? 28. it went up to 35 and put broad in the record books for all the wrong reasons. anderson finally put an end to the carnage and there was some consolation for broad. india had been 98—5, the next 116 a cause for concern. especially considering the form of england's openers. alex lees out. perhaps a good time for those grey skies to become darker. with the covers off, it was crawley�*s turn. a dismissal that has become all too familiar.
7:48 pm
even with root and bairstow at the crease, it has been india's day so far. so, this is how it looks at the close of play. india 416 in theirfirst innings. england resuming in the morning on 84—5. jonny bairstow and ben stokes at the crease and only sam billings as a recognised batsman left. you can watch highlights on the bbc iplayer right now. there was a dramatic finish on the second stage of the tour de france, with a crash less than two miles from the end catching out favourite tadej pogacar and chris froome. neither lost time. fabiojakobsen, the man picked ahead of mark cavendish, won the sprint as wout van aert moved into the leader's yellow jersey. the great british summer came out to play in qualifying for the british grand prix at silverstone. a soggy session saw a spaniard smiling as ferrari's carlos sainz weathered the damp conditions
7:49 pm
to claim the first pole position of his formula 1 career. lewis hamilton's hopes of home comforts failed to materialise though. joe lynskey has the story. 100,000 fans at silverstone were braced for every outcome. while the rain it may be predictable, right now, this sport throws up surprises. max verstappen is the champion but this track is one man's manor. lewis hamilton won seven of the last eight british grand prix but this year, he is off the pace. his team thought the rain would help him but to qualify in fifth was his worst place here for eight years. hamilton's 98 points off the lead, where verstappen is so consistent. the dutchman qualified second but few begrudge the man in front. carlos sainz has raced in f1 for seven years. 150 grand prix, he had not once been on pole until now.
7:50 pm
the man from spain on top in the rain and while the skies could clear by tomorrow, this race is still tough to predict. before we head back to wimbledon, tributes have been paid to the former scotland and rangers goalkeeper andy goram, who has died of cancer. he was 58. goram was capped 43 times for his country at football and four times at cricket, the only scottish man to have played for the national side at both sports. he helped rangers win five scottish titles, three scottish cups and two league cups. kheredine idessane looks back at his career. his team—mates just called him the goalie and he was one of scotland's greatest. whether it was for hibs, for scotland or for rangers, his was the last line of defence. born and raised in lancashire, he played cricket and football for scotland, qualifying through his father, lewis.
7:51 pm
it's quite hard getting just what they are saying. i can't tell what they're saying, but i'm getting used to it. your dad must be very pleased. he's over the moon. among 43 international football camps were trips to world cups and european championships. he came into the scottish game at hibs in 1987, signing from 0ldham athletic. his best years were at rangers, where he was a key component in walter smith's nine in a row side of the 1990s. the ninth season was a priority, if we had lost that season, you just couldn't imagine. you can't imagine losing it for the fans, for us, the manager, the chairman — it would be heartbreaking. towards the end of his career, he played twice for alex ferguson's manchester united while on loan from motherwell. no stranger to the front and back
7:52 pm
pages, goram retired in 2004 before moving into coaching. his place in scottish football's hall of fame was sealed in 2010. at the peak of his powers, he was perhaps best summed up by the late celtic manager tommy burns. great respect for goram as a goalkeeper because i think, genuinely, at one time andy goram was probably the top goalkeeper in europe. what an incredible save by andy goram! that's one of the all—time great saves in an old firm match. - andy goram, who has died at the age of 58. that's it from me and the team here in salford. let's head back now to wimbledon and get the latest from chetan. three big surprises on saturday here at wimbledon, that's is usually to utilita vapour bowl. iga swiatek is out, a shock for some, her 37 ivan match winning streak coming to an
7:53 pm
end, beaten by alize cornet. but when you consider she was struggling to make the transition from clay to grass, perhaps not such a surprise. coco gauff was beaten by a man to any sum over, perhaps not as big a shock as it looks. and petra kvitova gone too to the foreseen polar filters, who some expected to win. there are so many potential contenders in the women's draw. centre court is a place to be, this is a special year for that famous court, is celebrating its centenary year. a today it's been packed with some of the biggest names from the sporting world and beyond and this is what some of them had to say before they took their seats. never in a million — before they took their seats. never in a million years _ before they took their seats. never in a million years did _ before they took their seats. never in a million years did i _ before they took their seats. never in a million years did i think- before they took their seats. never in a million years did i think i - in a million years did i think i would get the chance to be here, it has been a dream of mine to come here and watch wimbledon so to have this experience of being in the royal box is incredible. i this experience of being in the royal box is incredible.- royal box is incredible. i don't normally _ royal box is incredible. i don't normally get _ royal box is incredible. i don't normally get invited - royal box is incredible. i don't normally get invited to - royal box is incredible. i don't normally get invited to these | normally get invited to these places! — normally get invited to these places! it's great, nice to have and watch _ places! it's great, nice to have and watch some — places! it's great, nice to have and

7:56 pm
kerry is not happy and he said he wanted tsitsipas defaulted and refused to come out to then continue playing. they are saying, if it was me who had done this, you will be kicking me out of the championships, why is that not happening to tsitsipas? curious was vocal, at every change of the ends, vocal with the umpire, there referees had to come out and talked about players because tsitsipas has also been shouting out his side proceedings too. it is hot, it was incredibly, incredibly competitive between these two. kyrgios has won each of the previous three encounters on the atp tour between these two players. these are live pictures on court number one, one set all, kyrgios has broken so he is in charge and leading and getting under tsitsipas' skin. kyrgios believes this might should not be continuing at the moment and his opponent should have been defaulted for lobbing the ball
7:57 pm
into the crowd. tsitsipas standing his ground and sing that wasn't the right decision. look at that, no love lost between those two. it is keeping the crowd entertained. that is unlike the match on centre court were at rafael natal is playing lorenzo sonego, nadal cruising at the moment, i wasn't expecting that for him this early in the championships were still trying to get the feeling of the grass under his feet. sonego 6—1 the first set, 6-2 the his feet. sonego 6—1 the first set, 6—2 the second. we are out of time here this saturday night, from me and the team, good night. hello. it's been another day of sunny spells and big shower clouds delivering some drenching downpours through the evening. some rain to clear from the southeast of england, we'll see further showers overnight around some western coastal fringes, most especially for northern ireland, parts of north west, england,
7:58 pm
northern and western parts of scotland, where the breeze will be strengthening. a little temperatures overnight between nine and 12 degrees. tomorrow is another sunshine and showers day, but there shouldn't be quite as many showers as we've seen over the last couple of days. quite a few drifting across scotland, where it will be breezy. some quite heavy showers for central and eastern parts of england, perhaps with the odd flash of lightning, the odd rumble of thunder. but by the afternoon, northern ireland shouldn't have too many showers. neither should wales nor the south—west of england. temperatures around 16 to 22 degrees in most places. now, as we look further ahead, it is going to turn drier for most of us, particularly in the south, where it's going to warm up as well. temperatures could approach the high 20 celsius, always a little cooler with a little rain at times in the north.
8:00 pm
this is bbc news the headlines at 8. there are warnings of further disruption for air travellers this summer — with more flights set to be cancelled in the coming weeks at heathrow — the uk's busiest airport. the conservative mp, chris pincher, who is under investigation for allegedly groping two men says he's seeking "professional medical support" and hopes to return to his duties as an mp "as soon as possible". hundreds of people have gathered in east london at a vigil — dedicated to zara aleena — who was killed as she walked home from a night out. two more britons captured by russian forces in ukraine have have been charged with being mercenaries — according to russian state media. more than a million people have gathered on the streets on london for pride — as the lgbt plus community marks 50
