and hull are left to rue what could have been — defeat to st helens — in rugby league's challenge cup. from the bbc sports centre, this is sportsday. hello there — and welcome along to the programme. england's cricketers have taken key wickets from australia — on the second day of the first ashes test. they were on the front foot early too — with stuart broad renewing his rivalry with australian opener david warner. the visitors dug in — and a stubborn century from usman khawaja, who also survived a scare — leaves them in with a chance. patrick geary has more. this is already a test match of fascinating flux, and is now the weather has shifted. saturday began with edgbaston shrouded in showers, gone was the sunshine for now. the rain cleared but the clouds stayed. ideal for england's bowlers, rain cleared but the clouds stayed. idealfor england's bowlers, and the kind of situation stuart broad is

made for, especially against david warner. a roar that has occurred through ashes history. the 15th time he has got in. the next ball was marcus labuschagne, swept away by broad's charge. as the clouds parted, the aussies started to settle, and ben stokes doesn't like that. he took the ball against the great steve smith. wait a moment. what a moment. after lunch, the counterpunch. we usman khawaja and travis smacked 50s, partly at the expense of the returning moeen ali, but he and his partner took a favour and removed head. for him in his home city, in a format he thought he had retired from, you never lose it. cameron green bold, early he might have been stumped. 220 2a5. but still, there was usman khawaja, and this was a moment for national significance. this moment of important significance for

australia. but the stadium's edition was halted by one call. noble, not out. this khawaja saved by the smallest of margins. fine margins indeed. well let's get some more on today's play now, with our reporter patrick geary — who's at edgbaston for us. not long finished for the day. how does it stand for england? 311 for five was a lot better puts really at than it might have been at one point. they did have them in a good position, adam five down at lunch, but in that evening session, usman khawaja and alex kerry really fought back at england, and put in some important runs but australia, which may be a few people would say, should england have declared so early on day one? but it looks a good decision to be honest. first thing this morning when there were bowling in good conditions taking key wickets. i think they have to take more key wickets as soon as they can on day three. there is a better weather around though, gavin. that could be key in this match. tomorrow, the weather does not look

great. it was a bit up and down, not so much this morning, better in the evening. that could be important this match. how much of a gamble could that early declaration prove, given that australia are digging in and fighting — despite those crucial early losses? they believe in taking risks, they say it is playing on instinct. they make these decisions all the time and back themselves. as i say, when they did take those early wickets and got free before lunch, when they got australia five down, they have a chance and since terry put down by bairstow, khawaja out off that noble by stuart broad. had all of those going their way, they would be any good position. and that declaration looks like a great decision. you can only tell in hindsight, but england will needles wickets quickly, otherwise australia could get up and be on their first week's total, and it switches back on the pressure. is it a psychological advantage for england, taking warner, labuschagne and smith early in the day? how much will that prove an england's favour? it was a day of

massive moments for england, wasn't it? those two wickets and two balls. this place was erupted and was so loud. there are few places like edgbaston where things like that happen. i think that getting war at so early for the 15th time in tests, that was significant. but also getting labuschagne, who did so much damage to england on the last ashes in this country. steve smith had a huge wickets already, he has been england's tormentor, and when stokes got him, it take a huge moment in this match. but it has been is less heralded but that have done the damage for australia. khawaja never got a century in this country. travis head actually ranked i think third in the world, but he is not something you might have heard. you have to get those guys out as well. you can'tjust get the headline names. a little have to get rid of one of kerry and khawaja, and get the tail early on day three, otherwise, the pressure will switch and england will be up against a bit more in this test match. at the weather might have an impact. thank

ou ve weather might have an impact. thank you very much _ weather might have an impact. thank you very much indeed _ weather might have an impact. thank you very much indeed for _ weather might have an impact. thank you very much indeed for that. - you very much indeed for that. patrick geary at edgbaston. so confirmation then of the score — australia 311 for 5. usman khawaja top scoring for the tourists with 186. and erling haaland scored a penalty in their qualifier. it was his 22nd norway goal after being felled in the box by porteous. scotland looking for three wins out of three, but in a way looking for their first group win. erling haaland scored 52 goals for manchester city this season, as they won the treble. there is around ten minutes or so left in that match there, and you can keep up with it on the bbc sport website as the usual address. a very common sight to see erling haaland school. there are all of the euro

championship qualifiers. in group], 2016 champions portugal are up against bosnia—herzegovina. austria can make it three wins out of three — if they get the better of second placed belgium in group f. and montenegro and hungary are at 0—0. the winner with the chance to go level with serbia, at the top of group g. the third round of the us open is underway at los angeles country club. rickie fowler is the man to catch on 10 under par but rory mcilory is just two shots behind. they both tee off later. the northern irishman was in danger of falling away with three bogeys in the front nine — but he pulled it around with six birdies, including almost making hole in one on the ninth. mcilroy is looking to win his first major since 201a. no one wants me to win another major more than i do, so, you know, the desire is there. i've been trying and i have come close over the past nine years or whatever it is,

and i keep coming back. ifeel like i have shown a lot of resilience in my career, a lot of ups and downs, and i keep coming back. whether that means i get rewarded, or get punched in the gut, whatever it is, i'll always keep coming back. what a few days rickie fowler is having. having broken the first round tournament record with his 62, he then became the fastest player to get to 10 under par in the tournament's history. he now has a one—shot lead over fellow american wyndham clark. they tee off, in a few hours time. so here's how the leaderboard looks. mcilroy is just a shot further back in third alongside xander schauffele. the third round got under way an hour ago — the leaders don't tee off untilaround 11:30 uk time this evening. england's matthew fitzpatrick is the defending champion but has been struggling — he's starting his third round in just over an hour — but is one over for the tournament. tommy fleetwood is out on the course — he's one under after his first hole of the day.

to tennis now and the nottingham 0pen semi—finals — where four brits had a chance to reach the final today. andy murray in the men's singles. but first we have an all—british final in the women's singles to look forward to — and a first all british wta final since 1977. david brindle was watching the action. it was all smiles for britain's katie boulter and any watson ahead of their meeting. neither play have dropped a set this week, and that streak continued for a little longer, as rain halted play early on. when they finally returned, it was katie boulter remained flawless, and in what's on herfirst was katie boulter remained flawless, and in what's on her first drop sets of the tournament. redemption looked on the cards in the second, as watson raced to a three—game lead, but she then missed chances to go buy one up, and it cost her. eventually falling to defeat in straight sets. so, it is the british

number one who advances, in what could be a breakthrough moment in her career. film could be a breakthrough moment in her career. ., ., , �* her career. oh god, i hope so. i've worked so — her career. oh god, i hope so. i've worked so hard _ her career. oh god, i hope so. i've worked so hard for _ her career. oh god, i hope so. i've worked so hard for this. _ her career. oh god, i hope so. i've worked so hard for this. me - her career. oh god, i hope so. i've worked so hard for this. me and i her career. oh god, i hope so. i've| worked so hard for this. me and my team especially, and i'm just going to keep plugging away, and even if it isn't my moment, that is fine. it has been a great week for me and i will keep working hard. katie boulter will _ will keep working hard. katie boulter will base _ will keep working hard. katie boulter will base another - will keep working hard. katie boulter will base another brit in the final, afterjodie burridge won her in straight sets. it is also her first final again someone she knows quite well. first final again someone she knows uuite well. , , ._ first final again someone she knows uuite well. , , ., ., quite well. yes, we played a final at the start _ quite well. yes, we played a final at the start of _ quite well. yes, we played a final at the start of this _ quite well. yes, we played a final at the start of this year _ quite well. yes, we played a final at the start of this year and - quite well. yes, we played a final at the start of this year and she l at the start of this year and she won, _ at the start of this year and she won, so— at the start of this year and she won, so hopefully i can try to change — won, so hopefully i can try to change that this time. but what an amazing _ change that this time. but what an amazing tolerance for both of us, and for— amazing tolerance for both of us, and for all— amazing tolerance for both of us, and for all of the women this week. so, and for all of the women this week. 50. britain — and for all of the women this week. so, britain guaranteed a winner in nottingham. the question is, will it be katie boulter orjodie burridge? david brindle, bbc news. meanwhile, andy murray

is a step closer to the men's singles final — he's beaten nuno borges of portugal. the two—time wimbledon winner took the first set 6—3 frenchman arthur cazaux awaits the winner after he beat germany's dominik koepfer. team bahrain victorious have withdrawn from the tour de suisse following the death of their rider gino mader. two other teams have also pulled out. team bahrain victorious are stll taking part in the tour of slovenia, where a minute's silence was held before today's fourth stage to pay tribute to mader. the 26 year old died in hospital yesterday morning following a crash on the fifth stage of the tour de suisse. the race resumed today with the agreement of mader�*s family. world champion remco evenepoel paid tribute to mader as he claimed the victory. the belgian is a6 seconds off the lead with just tomorrow's time trial to go. britain's tom pidcock was 12th and moved up three places to 22nd overall, but is more than 20 minutes off the lead. max verstappen will be hoping

to secure his fifth pole of the formula one season in canada later after topping the time sheets in final practice. rain caused chaos at circuit gilles villeneuve in montreal. the session was suspended for several minutes after spain's carlos sainz lost control of his ferrari, leaving his mechanics with work to do ahead of qualifying in just over two hours' time. lewis hamilton was the top british driver in tenth. jorge martin is up to second in moto gp�*s rider standings after a thrilling sprint race in germany. the lead changed four times over fifteen laps of the sachsenring with the spaniard moving up from third to claim victory ahead of championship leader francesco bagnaia. jack miller completed the sprint podium. st helens are through to the the last four of rugby league's challenge cup, after a 32—18 win over hull fc. a red card forjosh griffin — proved to be the turning point in the match. the two sides were level

at the break in a bruising quarterfinal encounter. earlier, hull kr beat salford red devils to reach their second successive semifinal. as imran sidat reports. stopping the saint helens juggernaut mightjust be the toughest task in rugby league right now. hull fc knew a good start was essential if they were to have any chance. but they got the opposite. with barely seven minutes on the clock, joe batchelor found some space to open the scoring. the home fans were probably expecting a long afternoon, but their team fought back immediately. some slick plate sending geroge griffin through. it was soon in front. andre sabella was the man in the right place at the right time. the game well and truly on. the world champions were under the cosh, but they responded in the only way they know. konrad hurrell finishing off this fine move. but the drama of a breathless first half was not quite done just yet. griffin was shown a red card after the whistle,

for dissent towards the referee. a huge blow which would surely turn the match saints's way. after the break, they made that man advantage count. go to syrian powering through to put them in front, and from there on in, they never really looked back. griffin left to stew over his actions, as three more tries followed for the saints, who march on into the semifinals again. going down to 12 can _ on into the semifinals again. going down to 12 can really _ on into the semifinals again. going down to 12 can really galvanise - on into the semifinals again. (if? “u; down to 12 can really galvanise a team, and i think it did that with hull fc. so, i was really strong with our team in order to try to not change things. and what you may see is more opportunities, to try to force a pass or put a pass where it is perhaps not needed. i thought we were just more direct, is perhaps not needed. i thought we werejust more direct, and is perhaps not needed. i thought we were just more direct, and we got ourselves more on the ball, and working together better, we were very effective. huiii working together better, we were very effective-— working together better, we were very effective. hull kr were hoping the cop would _ very effective. hull kr were hoping the cop would bring _ very effective. hull kr were hoping the cop would bring a _ very effective. hull kr were hoping the cop would bring a welcome - the cop would bring a welcome distraction, and the blistering opening a0 minutes or them oversee their spot in the semis against a shell—shocked salford red double

thank you for watching. we will see you soon. some of us will be pleased to hear that rain is on the way but be warned that thunderstorms could be quite severe, so a lot of rain and a short space of time almost certainly leading to flash flooding in some places with hail and gusty winds, butjust places with hail and gusty winds, but just down the places with hail and gusty winds, butjust down the road, you might escape the worst of it, and it will be predominantly dry bright and sunny. low pressure isjust be predominantly dry bright and sunny. low pressure is just to the west and south—west of us right now. this is where it will stay over the next few days, and that pattern basically means that moisture, clouds and warmth will be rotating around this area of low pressure, and the air will be predominantly coming in from the south, so it will stay on the warm side. but no real heat on the way, at least in the short term. there is the rainfall accumulation map. the darker the

blue colours, the greater the chance of encountering a fair amount of rain. some parts of the country will still get very little. so, let's have a look at the forecast in the short term, and it is relatively quiet at the moment. yes, there are a few showers around, and we will have had some showers and thunderstorms across parts of northern ireland. but on the whole, i think it is generally quite start a sunday. a warm 12. this is muggy air coming infrom a sunday. a warm 12. this is muggy air coming in from the south. temperatures around 1a to 16 degrees in the warmer spots in early in the morning on sunday. when will the show was not to prove? i think from late morning into the afternoon there is that risk of under increasing across the uk, and by the middle of the afternoon, so to the storms will be grumbling across the country. in some areas, 30 millimetres within an hour, in other spots, even up to 80 millimetres spread overjust a few hours, and again, that totally means less flooding in some areas. i think the

greatest risk of the heavy thundery rain will be later in the day on sunday, across some of these eastern and more northern areas of the country. and the thunderstorms will have a tendency to drift northwards as we go through the course of the day. at the met office warns that almost anywhere across england and wales could see a lot of rainfall. so here it is on monday. the west of the rain will have a clue to the north, i think early in the day, it'll be very wet in parts of eastern scotland. and then, the afternoon on monday is a mixture of sunshine and also showers. staying quite warm. temperatures will be in the mid 20s in a number of areas. that low pressure is still with us. essentially, the warm atmosphere is coming in from the south, and with the moisture, the humidity in the air, and also the strength of the sun, we will see showers popping off england during the course of tuesday. in fact, england during the course of tuesday. infact, if england during the course of tuesday. in fact, if you don't get the thunderstorms on sunday, there is a chance you might encounter some showers on monday, tuesday, and

indeed into wednesday. you can see a cluster of showers there across other parts of the country. the nature of showers is very difficult to pinpoint exactly which areas will get them. i'm just pretty confident they will be around the uk. it stays on the one side. look at that hole, 2a celsius, around 20 or so expected in belfast mid week. —— look at that in belfast mid week. —— look at that in hull. you can see that it stays on the warm side, if anything, there is a chance the images will start to creep up a little bit as we head towards the weekend. you can see it is quite an unsubtle picture, but on the warm side. goodbye. —— quite an unsettled picture.
