hello, i'm hugh ferris at the bbc sport centre. coming up on the programme... england are batting again in the first ashes test. but their attempts to build a significant lead ocould be hampered by both the australian bowlers and the weather. red bull and their world champion take a milestone victory in canada as max verstappen exerts his dominance again. and andy murray's got that winning feeling again — with victory at the nottingham open as he chases a wimbledon seeding. welcome to sportsday. the weather has intervened for the first time in the ashes series with rain forcing an early end to day three of the opening test at edgbaston. at that point england had just

lost both their openers in their second innings, which started with a seven run lead after australia were bowled out for 386... usman khawaja eventually making 141. after both ben duckett and zak crawley departed within three balls in conditions much—changed by the weather. england ended the day 28 for 2, 35 ahead. here's our reporter patrick gearey. this test match is precariously placed at the moment 35 runs in the second innings but two wickets down. the day started with australia batting in the first innings five wickets down. jimmy anderson struck quite early bowling alex carried the ozzie whippet keeper when england needed a break through just before the lunch break ben stokes the captain showed some inventive fuel placings to get into the head who was well set at that point. he played an unusual shot and was pulled for an excellent 141. the rest of the ozzie tells the marked up and the england had a first innings read

of seven brands but that is when the weather got involved. the first shot work created ideal bowling conditions for the australians. they made full use of them. ben duckett they include open brilliantly by cameron green off of the bowling pat cummings zak crawley not terribly happy to get out there in the gloom cop behind the bowling and then the rain really set in that took us off of the day. so england in a slightly precarious position and they will have concerns about ali whose finger who has been and will need to bowl in the final innings but will need to put on runs on their innings on day four if they are to get into a strong position in this first test. ollie robinson got that key wicket of usman khawaja... and the england bowler says they're hoping to build a signifcant enough lead to try and win the match. if we could have a day to bowl at them, we feel like we could bowl them out. and if they actually feel they have a score that they can chase down, then we feel like

we're in the game. if they come out and play defensively like they have done this game, it might be a different story. but if we give them something — let's chase the ball and they feel they can get it, it might be an easier ten wickets. max verstappen has once again shown his dominance over the formula one grid by winning the canadian grand prix for red bull. it was the team's one hundredth win since entering the sport and verstappen�*s 41st, drawing him level with the great ayrton senna. nick parrott reports. even before the lights went out to montreal there was no doubt who would win this race. the battle was for second place. that is where lewis hamilton found himself at the first corner after getting a better start than fernando alonso. mercedes hopes of getting both their drivers onto the podium for a second race in a row and it on just the 12 flap. the damage eventually forced george russell to retire. at times hamilton and alonso were too close for comfort. but once the spaniard, got past his one—time team—mate, there was nothing that britain

could do to catch them. max verstappen left every lap to claim the a0 force when in his career and red bull's 100. 9.5s the smallest margin of victory the season giving other some hope. slowly chipping away, it took a bit of a step ahead this week and when they added the upgrades so we are working on bringing s�*more and moving forward. amazing. i never expected to be on this kind numbers myself. so we keep enjoying and keep working hard and today has been a great day again. max verstappen�*s dominance is such that by time someone driving something other than a red bull can be the dutchman he may have already become a three—time pro champion. jorge martin completed the sprint and race double at motogp's german grand prix to cut francesco bagnaia's championship lead to 16 points. for the second day running the spaniard endured a titanic battle with the italian.

their fight was so close that they touched on the penultimate lap and martin eventually beat the world champion to the chequered flag byjust six hundredths of a second. martin's french team—mate johann zarco completed the podium at the sachsenring. spain have won their first major football title in more than a decade... beating croatia on penalties in the nations league final in rotterdam. the game finished goalless after extra time and the first six penalties all went in. but unai simon saved twice to leave dani carvajal to score the winning spot kick. croatia are still waiting for their first major trophy... despite reaching the final of the world cup in 2018. and the semis last year in qatar. earlier italy beat the netherlands in the third place playoff. the rest of europe are involved in qualifying for euro 202a. 12 more matches are taking place on monday — full fixtures on the bbc sport website with teams like france and wales in action. england will endeavour to continue their perfect start

to the campaign when they host north macedonia at old trafford. they have won three from three, including 4—0 over malta 4—0 on friday without the treble—winning contingent from manchester city. but they're available for manager gareth southgate again who's admitted north macedonia will provide england with a more difficult night. it is always difficult picking a team, because we have some depth, and some players who have all trained well. so, they are all presenting well and they are all available for the game. as always, we are looking at the opposition, and we are looking at the best way to try to win the game. what attributes we need. so, not an easy decision, but to be a very clear in our heads where we need to head. wolverhampton wanderers captain ruben neves is the latest big name player to head to saudi arabia. wolves have agreed a 60 million dollar deal from al hilal. neves had a year left on his wolves contract and the 26—year—old had been

linked with multiple clubs in recent transfer windows, including barcelona. the portugal midfielder willjoin the likes of crisitano ronaldo, karim benzema and n'golo kante in the saudi pro league. katie boulter has won a title on the wta tour for the first time beating jodie burrage in an all british final at the nottingham open... where in the men's tournament andy murray continued his fine form leading up to wimbledon to win for the second week in a row. andy swiss has more. as father's day presents go, not a bad one for andy murray, as he followed up last week's success in surbiton with another morale—boosting triumph. commentator: superb from murray. _ world number 181 arthur cazaux could only watch and admire. and while tougher tests await, the pre—wimbledon signs are encouraging. umpire: game, set and match, murray. j another title,

and then a surprise. murray hadn't realised that in the crowd were his four children. hopefully, i'll get back home tonight and see my kids for father's day, get a rest day tomorrow and, yes, get pumped for queen's. oh, my god! aw, i didn't know they were here! applause i had no idea they were coming. - and the home fans soon had even more to cheer. jodie burrage and katie boulter in the first all—british final on the women's tour since 1977. and it was boulter that seized it in straight sets. the biggest title of her career — dedicated to those who had supported her. this one always gets me a little emotional. my team, my family, you know, who work through the tough moments and the good moments... i'm sorry. applause but those tears soon turned to smiles. for british tennis, a day of double delight. andy swiss, bbc news. meanwhile frances tiafoe will break into the top ten rankings for the first

time on monday... the american edged unseeded germanjan—lennard struff in a thrilling three—set stuttgart open final on sunday. tiafoe saved a championship point and struck 36 winners to claim his first grass court title. two—time queen's club winner matteo berrettini has withdrawn on the eve of the tournament with an abdominal issue berrettini had onlyjust returned from the same injury that had kept him out since april at the stuttgart open... where he lost in the first round, just a second defeat in 22 matches on grass. berrettini missed last year's wimbledon after testing positive for covid, but made the final there in 2021. denmark's mattias skjelmose has won the tour de suisse, cycling's final warm up race before next month's tour de france. he finished third on the final stage time trial, but that was enough to secure the 22—year—old the biggest victory of his career byjust nine seconds. tom pidcock was eighteenth on the stage and finished as the highest placed briton in 22nd overall. ——tom pidcock was 18th on the stage and finished as the highest placed briton in 22nd overall. finally, 100 years after the olympics last graced the streets of paris, the city is getting

hello there. the rain came pouring down on sunday. there was some flooding in places and, for a while, a lot of thunder and lightning as well, but the storms have eased. the rain, though, continues to be heavy and it continues to push its way northwards away from northern england, coming to rest in scotland by monday morning. and it's muggy air that follows behind that rain, so temperatures around 14 or 15 degrees. but we start with that wet weather in the morning in scotland, heavy rain to begin with. it'll move away to the north—west, clearing away to be replaced across the uk by sunny spells and a scattering of showers developing, the odd heavy thundery one in the afternoon for northern ireland and scotland. for england and wales, there'll be fewer showers, particularly in the south, and you may get away with a dry day. it will be warm in the sunshine, the winds a little bit brisker, perhaps, but temperatures in the mid 20s. much better weather for the cricket at edgbaston. but low pressure continues to bring the threat of some rain as we move into tuesday. we've got that muggy air coming in on that southerly breeze,

but that's where the wet weather is moving in from as well. so we've got this heavy, potentially thundery rain moving northwards across england and wales on tuesday morning, up into scotland. some sunshine around outside of that rain, but that could trigger some more thundery showers here and there. and temperatures may not be quite so high on tuesday, 20 to 22 celsius, probably nearer the mark. heading into wednesday, and again, some more warm sunshine, but more heavy, slow—moving, thundery showers breaking out, in particular in scotland, northern ireland, perhaps the north—west of england and north wales. it's drier and it's brighter and it's sunnier towards the south—east and that's where it's warmer as well — 25 or even 26 degrees midweek. may see a little area of high pressure coming in from the south—west on thursday before this rain arrives in from the atlantic on friday. there are some heavy, thundery downpours very close by in the near continent, but thursday should be a drier day. ridge of high pressure, the air�*s descending more, limiting the amount of showers, limiting the heavy showers. a lot of places will be

dry and quite sunny. we will see the highest temperatures again towards the south—east. out towards the west, it is just a little bit cooler. so we've got the chance of some showers for the next few days that could be heavy and thundery. particularly in the south—east later, it should turn drier, but also quite a bit warmer as well.
