now on bbc news, sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. england's hope diminish at lord's as australia smell victory in the second ashes test. "we can do better" — those the words of england manager sarina wiegman after a goalless draw against portugal. and no brotherly love lost at the tour de france — britain's adam yates takes the opening stage honours — ahead of twin simon. also coming up on sportsday... dominant on their home track — max verstappen wins the sprint in austria for red bull — ahead of tomorrow's race.

hello there and welcome along to sportsday. england have a huge task ahead of them, if they're to have any chance of staying in this second ashes test against australia. optimism in the early session didn't last — and they lost four wickets before the close of play on day four. australia with a great chance to move 2—0 up in the series. joe wilson reports. pkg you'll often see it on display at test matches. the craft that makes an expensive cricket bat deserves respect, doesn't it? osman khawaja uses his with discretion. he's deliberate. he's measured. england had to disrupt him. here we go. khawaja on 77 and caught at start but steve smith couldn't be tempted

in the same way, could he? the tactic prevails, can you believe it? don't think he could. butjames anderson to alex carey? the broader context with australia's lead, soon extending the 300. england kept bowling like this like that wickets did fall, so behind—the—scenes someone was approaching. ben stokes bowled himself towards a exhaustion, 0k. the bowled himself towards a exhaustion, ok. the nathan lyon, calf muscle tone, decided he would join. ok. the nathan lyon, calf muscle tone, decided he wouldjoin. he could only aim for the boundary but that helped australia to 749. line was just blocking out the pain but his efforts ensured from lord's reception. well, australia clearly felt that everyone was vital as a set england a victory title of 371 their second innings. through the day here england's bullying tactics have been obvious. they've been

repetitive. bang the ball in short and hopeful catches. when australia came out to bowl he had the ball and look where he was aiming. perfect! england's ambition is to try and chase down any target bought at the bowling is this good? too good for joe root. australia's captain, bruised eye gleaming was right on target. harry brook bowled by pat cummins. with the next wicket mitchell starc is certainly thought he had got ben duckett but when the tv empoli saw the replay bowl, body, ground, he decided he wasn't in control of the catch so it stays 114-4. bull, control of the catch so it stays 114—4. bull, joe wilson, bbc news, lord's. this is how is stands at the end of day four at lord's. england now 114 for four. mitchell starc and pat cummins accounting for the wickets. zak crawley, ollie pope and harry brook falling for just 3: . .. a huge day ahead of england tomorrow, needing 257 to win.

australia needing six wickets. much to do then, for the men's side — and there's plenty at stake for england in the women's ashes too. they're into the shorter form part of the multi—format series with australia, having lost the one—off test this week at trent bridge. our reporterjo currie, is at edgbaston for us, with the first of the t20's under way.. what is the latest so far? opening danny whiteman early on and was followed by alice cassie was run out. she thought she had got her bat over the line in time which he did do but that wasn't grounded. a run shortly after heralding the single digits. england fans will be saying thank goodness for sophia dunkley, the open a few months ago bought up her at the other end and england are currently 101—3, her at the other end and england are currently101—3, having her at the other end and england are currently 101—3, having played 14 overs. studio: this is a really huge map essential if england given they lost

their opening test in four points down. they really can't afford to slip or on the other shorter games, can they? slip or on the other shorter games, can the ? , ., ., ., ., can they? every game going forward for encland can they? every game going forward for england in _ can they? every game going forward for england in the _ can they? every game going forward for england in the ashes _ can they? every game going forward for england in the ashes series - can they? every game going forward for england in the ashes series and l for england in the ashes series and can be massive and full points down in that single ashes test and they say six white bowl games and three 00! say six white bowl games and three odi games and all of these games are worth two points each surf you want again on tv when the ashes, just a reminder, they haven't done that now since 2014, they have five of the six games so england really can't afford a slip—up in this opening white bowl game. they are going into bat and at the moment they will three. —— white ball game. float one float 2float three float 4 well following this busy summer of cricket —

there's the cricket world cup to come in october... but the west indies, for the first time in the tournament's history won't be there. they were playing scotland in a super six qualifying match in harare — and needed to win to stay in the running. but were 181 all out from just under 44 overs. the scots reached that total with six overs to spare. matthew cross hit the winning runs as his side completed a seven wicket victory scotland need to beat zimbabwe on tuesday, and netherlands on thursday if they're to reach the world cup... but what now for west indies? cricket podcaster machel hewitt spoke to me earlier. any kind of keen observer of west indies cricket he's been paying attention to the best part of the last 10—15 years should really have seen this coming and if we focus particularly on white ball cricket, this has been a long—standing decline in white ball cricket. you can go as far back as the world cup in 2015 when we crashed out in the quarterfinals in a kind of humiliating weight, barely making it to the 2019 world cup, not making it to the 2019 world cup, not making it to a new the recent champions trophy is to now not make it to the 20 23 world cups are the only surprise

about the west indies not making it to this world cup is the fact we are called the west indies but if this is looked at rationally in the cold light of day, this can be seen as any big surprise. this light of day, this can be seen as any big surprise.— any big surprise. this is a team that has been _ any big surprise. this is a team that has been so _ any big surprise. this is a team that has been so synonymous l any big surprise. this is a team i that has been so synonymous with success over the last four years, particularly on the bigger stage? it i have a genuine answer that question i would fully be president right now. the reality is this is a multi causal problem. at the governments issue. it's a developmental issue. it coaching issue. it's a player pool issue but i guess more importantly when you put all of those factors together they are almost like toxic fact and at the same time of all of those winning the mac spinning around the rest of the world and associate nations are caught up with us, as well as the four member nations have got further away from us, so what we effectively at one point was standing still and there were actually in clear decline when it comes to white ball cricket. find actually in clear decline when it comes to white ball cricket. and the

fact they are — comes to white ball cricket. and the fact they are not _ comes to white ball cricket. and the fact they are not going _ comes to white ball cricket. and the fact they are not going to _ comes to white ball cricket. and the fact they are not going to be - comes to white ball cricket. and the fact they are not going to be at - fact they are not going to be at this world cup, is it a chance for big reset may be, wiping the slate? something to effectively bring a wake—up call to the board? yes. something to effectively bring a wake-up call to the board? yes, i think will be _ wake-up call to the board? yes, i think will be lost _ wake-up call to the board? yes, i think will be lost to _ wake-up call to the board? yes, i think will be lost to zimbabwe - wake-up call to the board? yes, i| think will be lost to zimbabwe last week that is if we win our last four games probably... status quo might still remain even at this humiliating exit in world cup qualifiers and hope now has to be this will finally be the kind of klaxon call that reverberates around the caribbean that makes every single territory from guyana to trinidad to jamaica to barbados to the windward islands to the leeward islands and family makes all these territorial boards and their respective presidents and up and say enough is enough and it also goes for the governance and respect caribbean nations as well. there is no way this could be fixed by is

continuing to put our head in the sand. maybe it will eventually fix itself. this now goes into and needs a concerted effort from all stakeholders in the season. england's lionesses are gearing up for the women's world cup later this month... but they failed to find the net, in today's warm up match in milton keynes against portugal. sarina wiegman's side, were hoping to bounce back from defeat to australia in april. 0—0 it finished earlier — perhaps some disappointment with three weeks till their opening game. katie gornall is there for us — and i spoke her earlier... a disappointing afternoon, really, for england. in fact, sarina wiegman, the england manager said as much in her post match press conference just a few minutes ago. we spoke in a loss in the build—up to this game about key players missing for england. in fact, two of them were in the stands watching here in milton keynes, beth mead and leah williamson and losing key players like that for world cup means england are going to have to adapt and they weren't yet at their fluent best here this afternoon. we

were looking for clues perhaps as to what her starting 11 might be for the world cup. she opted to go from the world cup. she opted to go from the start with rachel daly and lauren james the start with rachel daly and laurenjames in attack, daly had chances but i think like others looks a little bit rusty and lauren james was pretty lively and i think she has done her chances of a stunning place no harm at all. daly was replaced at half—time by alessia russo who nearly had an instant impact but wiegman tried 17 different players in this match. she tried a number of different systems. england not really clicking and i think there's plenty of food for thought now the wiegman after the stalemate here in milton keynes. fix, stalemate here in milton keynes. a send—up of the european champions. by send—up of the european champions. by august, the odds say these fans could be welcoming england home as well champions but there is more than a few hurdles to overcome first. with key players out injured

jet into the squad. left back now playing up front for england. finish the season of the wsl�*s top stove scholar. earlier on she herself a nuisance. portugal heading to her first world cup frustrated england and couldn't match her 50th cup with and couldn't match her 50th cup with a goal. at half time england sent for those they left out. alessia russo v nearly made an instant impact. gave everything. there was no late drama for england. after a frustrating afternoon sarina wiegman had much to ponder. haiti is the big match england have to look forward to. what is next on the schedule for them? the? to look forward to. what is next on the schedule for them?— the schedule for them? they are fl in: out the schedule for them? they are flying out frustrated _ the schedule for them? they are flying out frustrated in _ the schedule for them? they are flying out frustrated in a - the schedule for them? they are flying out frustrated in a few - the schedule for them? they are l flying out frustrated in a few days' time on the 5th ofjuly and they will then have a few days to acclimatise and obviously have jet lag to deal with before they start up lag to deal with before they start up in full lag to deal with before they start up infull training lag to deal with before they start up in full training again. then they put theirfinal chance to up in full training again. then they

put their final chance to fine tune ahead of the tournament. it's a closed doors friendly against canada led down by dave who is to be part of england setup under neville so thatis of england setup under neville so that is really a last chance sarina wiegman will have to tinker and experiment before she decides on her starting line—up. we know for the first game against haiti on the 22nd ofjuly england captain is still recovering from a knee injury and wasn't fit enough to play a part in this game against portugal. should really say a word about portugal as well, though. they will be very pleased with what they do and against england, 0—0 draw against european champions. enter their first world cup they got a very tough group which includes the netherlands and the usa so they will certainly have a spring in their step but england i think know that they have got a fair bit to work on. how much you eat into these types of friendlies is probably open for debate but ice think they still have a lot to work on a data click for the opening game of the world cup against haiti. the opening game of the world cup against haiti-—

against haiti. katie baird milton ke nes. let's have a quick look at some of the other football stories. liverpool are set to sign rb leipzig midfielder dominik szoboszlai. the premier league club will trigger the player's £60.1 million release clause and the hungarian international will now travel to the uk for a medical. elsewhere, leicester city have signed tottenham midfielder harry winks on a three—year deal. winks becomes leicester's first signing since relegation to the championship, with the fee reportedly around £10 million. and bbc sport understands patrick vieira is set to become the new manager at ligue one club rc strasbourg. the ex—arsenal midfielder is expected to sign a three year contract — having been sacked as manager of crysla palace in march. cesc fabregas has retired from professional football at the age of 36. he won two premier league titles with chelsea, a la liga with barcelona — and an fa cup with arsenal. he was also part of the spainish team that lifted the world cup and two european championships. sibling rivalry was front

and centre at today's opening of the tour de france. and what way to win your first ever stage — adam yates pipping his twin brother simon in the final yards in bilbao — to secure a famous one—two. the pair ride for different teams in the peloton — but earlier helped each other to open up a gap on the chasing group. ben croucher reports. adam yates triumphant! motorway to get the tour de france under way. what a way to get your first tour stage win team. his brother may disagree, mind you. for however scenic the coastal route around bilbao was, this was no gentle start. lumpy opening accounted for the sprinters like mark cavendish leaving the main contenders to battle it out but what goes up can come down. richard lost 15 minutes in this crash and vic masse was forced to withdraw. this was the tour de france, starting in spain, expected to be contested by a slovenian and again as defending

champion marked each other over the final climb, identical twins adam and simon yates broke away on the descent. a on two wheels contested by two brothers on two teams. stage 1 became a family affair. adam showed little brotherly love to pull clear in the final kilometre. g, clear in the final kilometre. sensational ride! ben croucher, bbc news. there was no love lost in today's sprint race between the dominant red bulls, ahead of the formula one's austrian grand prix tomorrow. the honours, as so often this season, going to max verstappen — at their home track. but signs of tension early on with his team—mate — as david brindle reports. the reigning austria helped whet the appetite for a saturday sprint. sergio p rez put himself forward to win consecutive sprint basis when they are. he took the lead on the first lap despite his team mate max verstappen pinning him against the pit wall. that step and then felt pelleted. self onto the grass in the lead up to turn to see the dutchman

returned the favour, forcing terra soft, and it seemed it was every driver for themselves at red bull. later it was decision time. the rain cleared up, the track dried out so it was either stick or twist. judge russell sees the chance and clearly time that changed with respect in this matching the points from lambeau novice and nearly took 72, missing out by the smallest of margins. the step and win but he is certain concerns about opening needs of the team—mate hadn't gone away once the race was over. this could be nothing or the early signs of a civil war red bull. now, the staff and remains unstoppable. david mundell, bbc news. ——for now, vestrappen and remains unstoppable. david brindell, bbc news. (pres)so tension post—race between the red bull pair but both verstappen and perez played down any talk of issues between them stemming from the first lap after the race.

the tournament will be played in the existing july and november test windows — outside of british and irish lions tours, and the world cup. two more unions will be invited tojoin, with plans to introduce promotion and relegation from 2030.... via a second—tier competition run by world rugby. madison keys has won the eastbourne international title for the second time after holding off a fightback from world number 11, daria kasatkina. .. the american appeared to be cruising towards her third grass court title as she raced through the first set 6—2 kasatkina did find her stride in the second but keys' came back to eventually to take it, on herfifth match point. for her seventh wta title. love coming and playing in eastbourne, being able to win the title here twice now definitely makes me have very fond memories of eastbourne. applause being able to hold this trophy is

absolutely amazing so thank you everyone. so all that, as part of the build up to wimbledon — which starts on monday. it'll be big day for ryan peniston, who says he wants to inspire others suffering from cancer, when he takes on centre court favourite andy murray in the first round. peniston was diagnosed with soft tissue cancer when he wasjust a —year—old — and went through chemotherapy and surgery — the treatment stunting his growth as a child. before the draw was made, the world number 267, told our sports reporter, james burridge, the battle's given him a different perspective on the sport. i look back and i think how lucky i am and how grateful i am to be given almost a second chance and i do think i have a different perspective on life to a lot of the tennis players just because of what i've gone through. please welcome onto centre court, ryan peniston. my story started with one of the worst things in life there is which is cancer. i was diagnosed with soft tissue cancer at the age of one and i had surgery and chemotherapy and then more chemotherapy. my parents must�*ve gone through absolute hell. at times it was touch and go. i think with cancer you never really

know what's going to happen and that's one of the worst things about it but thanks to a lot of great people, nurses and doctors, i'm able sit here. the older i got the more i appreciated everything they did for me and everything i have been able to do gave me a very good perspective on life. you will currently ranked outside the world's top 250. i imagine that is fairly tough so tell me about life away from the limelight and the struggles you go through on the tour. villa definitely took ings you go through as a tennis player. i had a bad injury last year and i didn't really know if i was going to be able to play tennis the way i wanted to ever again so that was a very tough moment and definitely when i am going through tough times and the court, if i have had a bad loss, i just look back and think things you will currently ranked outside the world's top 250. i imagine that's fairly tough, so tell me about life away from the limelight and the struggles you go through on the tour. there are definitely tough things that you go through as a tennis player. i had a bad injury last year and i didn't really know if i was going to be able to play

tennis the way i wanted to ever again so that was a very tough moment and definitely when i am going through tough times on the court, if i have had a bad loss, i just look back and think things could be a lot worse than they are. tell me what it's like walking through the gates of wimbledon, going on to court, fulfilling a lifetime's ambition, but actually coping with that pressure and kind of wanting to do yourselfjustice. walking out at wimbledon onto court, fulfilling a lifetime's dream, it feels special. it doesn't really feel real at the time. i'm always waiting for someone to pinch me and wake me up. british summerjust gets better and better for ryan peniston. when i'm playing at wimbledon i feel like i'm not just playing for myself. sometimes used as a strength so i feel like i'm playing for, you know, people

going through similar things and trying to give them a bit of hope to see what is possible. anyone going to troubles like that if i can give them any sort of hope or inspiration for one second, that means a lot to me. ryan peniston the tennis player. back to cricket before we go — and prime minister rishi sunak says he has spoken to leaders at the england and wales cricket board after a report highlighted discrimination in the sport earlier this week. the independent commission for equity in cricket said racism, sexism, classism and elitism are "widespread" in the game. he was speaking tojonthan agnew on test match special... i think they've approached in exactly the right way. you have to remember it was the ecb who commissioned this report. no—one asked them to. they did it off their own back because they really wanted to be proactive in addressing the concerns that people have raised. i think they deserve credit for that and they're going about it in exactly the right way, offering an unreserved apology

and the conversations i have had with them and the team mean they are absolutely committed to fixing all the problems, for this to be reset moment for cricket and all of us who love this game wanted to be inclusive, open, accessible to absolutely everybody, to welcome people from all backgrounds and to be a place where everyone can feel respected and that is what we all want and i'm confident in the leadership of the cricketing family more broadly, notjust the ecb will share that ambition. rishi sunak with jonathan agnew there. looking good for england's women in the ashes. 122—7 so they are tumbling at edgbaston and they need to win at least one or two of these have any chance and need to win four or five out of six have any chance of attaining a winning back the ashes in australia also in the driving seat in the men's series at the end of day four. men sit second victory in the ashes. harry brook. this can england rescue something before the smash just ongoing divide

spot. scent of low pressure moving toward scandinavia. we've still got north—westerly winds and this the front bringing wet weather to the far north of scotland into the northern isles, some blustery showers of scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, west wales, south—west england and there is a chance the south—east of england should escape most of the showers. there could be the odd one moving through. good spells of sunshine where we will see temperatures up to 21—22 . it's the mid to high teens further north. conditions look all right at lord's for the rest of the cricket there. variable cloud. some some time. quite breezy. top temperatures around 20—21 c. through sunday night, looks like any of the showers fade away toward southern and eastern areas will continue towards northern and western areas with more persistent rain the northern isles and the cooler night to come for the northern parts of the country in single digits quite widely there so monday we've still got area of low pressure influencing our weather and

this feature may enhance the shower activity across ireland and travel across the irish sea to move into england and wales so we start monday problem in a dry and bright note with some sunshine and clouds build, showers rattle their way in from the west across england and wales and we held onto the wet showery weather across the northern half of scotland. white unsettled day, i think. again, feeling on the cool side of the time of year. just about up side of the time of year. just about up to 21 degrees in the south—east given some good spells of sunshine and we could see some heavy movie thundery rain at times across england and wales as we had to tuesday and wednesday. just some and occasionally turning a little bit drier and warmer towards the end of a week.
