recovers that the belfry to get back to the top of the masters leaderboard. evening, australia have strengthened their grip on the second ashes test. england started the day with six wickets in hand but they were all out by lunch, capitulating from just the second ball of the day, ben stokes leading the procession back to the pavilion, harry brook and johnny bairstow were also out after rash, loose shots and the tail offered no resistance england's lost their last three wickets for one run. travis head took two in an over with his part time spin to really compound england's misery. in the course of two session, england went from 188—1 to 325

all out, australia are currently 130—2. let's cross to lords and speak to our sports correspondentjoe wilsonjoe, england have made no apologies about their approach at the close yesterday, but they didn't rew discovered a little bit louder, didn't take? discovered a little bit louder, didn'ttake?_ discovered a little bit louder, didn't take? where is the line between ruthless _ didn't take? where is the line between ruthless and - didn't take? where is the line i between ruthless and reckless, didn't take? where is the line - between ruthless and reckless, that is the question. it is a gloomy day we had plenty of those hats have reported on plenty of them over your career but what is different today is that it feels as if this whole new attacking brave philosophy of england has failed. he wondered this morning with that there would be a change of approach if the batteries would knuckle down a bit and now ben stokes is a decent ball when he was

surprised it is dismissible and about harry brooke, he did exactly what australia wanted him to do, taking a wild swipe at another short pitch delivery and was out of court. and at the short pitch delivery and was out of court. and i have to say it must be one of the luckiest 50s they escorted boards in a test match. if you think aboutjonny bairstow�*s dismissal. there was another england better trained to wicked way in a simple catch for australia's captain. and they were hostile at times. brooke got it and clearly, that's why the big advantages but as you mentioned, trevis got a couple wickets where his gentle offspring and nathan went off yesterday in austria says he will have a period of rehabilitation after this test match and very much like he is not for the series, unfortunately for him. the question is, will england make australia ms.

conditions which were good for bowling and that's another point we should make. swing boulders and medium pace borders and australia would say, they did this to suit them and what lies ahead of us, austria was certainly think they've got a weekend now and all the time they need to build the dominant we can position. is there still time for this england team to produce something spectacular? for dinner before the recent past, but hang on, this is australia. up up against it lost the loss of a one—off test and tomorrow, they move one—off test and tomorrow, they move on to the game atjoe curry is there for us. they resumed their season with australia with an evening t20 game and speaking here in birmingham, england captain has addressed for the first time, the

daria kasatkina was equally impressive in her semi final against the italian camilla giorgi. kasatkina took the first six—two and withstood a fightback in the second to win through in less than an hour and a half. the win should take kasatkina into the world's top ten. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. reigning formula one champion max verstappen will start sunday's austrian grand prix in pole position. it's the red bull driver's fourth successive pole. the ferraris of charles le clerc and carlos sainz were second and third fastest respectively in qualifying. verstappen leads team—mate sergio perez in the drivers championship by 78 points. torrential rain has caused the first stage of the women's giro to be cancelled. a prologue time trial in siena was abandoned due to flooding. the race will now effectively start from stage two tomorrow. and england centre lagi tuima has signed a new contract at harlequins. the 25—year—old, who has won 15 caps for the red roses, has signed what the club describe as a �*multi—year contract�*.

provisionally, june has been the hottestjune on record. but the other feature ofjune is that it's been actually quite dry, particularly so across parts of the south. st athan is near cardiff, and here we've not even had a quarter of thejune average rainfall — a similar kind of pattern really elsewhere across southern england. now today, we've seen clouds really gather across western areas, it's been quite gloomy with some mist and some drizzle around, as well. the drizzle associated with a couple of warm fronts that have been pushing eastwards over recent hours, bringing increasing levels of humidity. there is something of a clearance out in the atlantic — we have to wait for this occlusion to work through before we get into those clearer skies. more on that in a moment. now, overnight tonight, with those warm fronts continuing to push eastwards, it'll be quite a warm and muggy night with outbreaks of drizzle just about anywhere. however, the dampest weather, if you like, will be across western and southern areas, as well.

some low cloud over hills and coasts, so some mist and fog patches around as well, a muggy 15—16 celsius for your overnight low. now heading into the weekend, we start off with an occlusion across eastern england, so cloudy with an odd spit of rain. that clears out of the way with sunny spells following. we'll see showers for scotland, for northern ireland, and for northern england, as well. the showers always most frequent, though, across the north and west, where it'll be quite cool. in the best of the sunshine, 22—23 celsius across southern and eastern england. wherever the sun comes out, it won't feel too bad. it will be quite a windy kind of day, and that's true as well of sunday — reasonably tightly—packed isobars, the winds again coming in from a west—northwesterly direction. now sunday stays quite unsettled across northern areas, with some rain for orkney and shetland moving in towards highland and the hebrides as we go through the day. elsewhere, lots of showers for the rest of scotland, for northern ireland, and northwest england. there's a greater chance of those showers turning heavy and thundery during the course of sunday. but again, when the sunshine comes out, it shouldn't feel too bad. the highest temperatures towards the southeast,

a little on the cool side for the north and west of scotland. now into next week, low pressure is still dominating the weather charts, so expect it to stay generally quite changeable with quite a lot of showers around, particularly across the northwest of the uk. and temperatures generally running quite close to average, but perhaps getting a bit warmer towards the southeast by the end of the week. bye for now.
