7:30 pm
with betting advertisments. now time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday i'm hugh ferris. australia go 2—0 up in the ashes at the end of a dramatic final day at lords. ben stokes gets england close but although he's done it before this time it was beyond even the captains heroics. but has lords ever been this bad tempered? we explain howjonny bairstow�*s wicket got the crowd rowdy in this usually most serene of venues. also coming up on sportsday... another max verstappen victory, this time in his teams home grand prix in austria,
7:31 pm
extending his championship lead. and a french winner on the second stage of the tour de france in spain but the british rider stays in yellow. hello again. unlike his career—defining innings four years ago at headingley ben stokes heroics weren't enough at lord's. england's skipper unable to prevent australia taking a 2—0 lead in the ashes. their victory by 43 runs came after a day which had the lord's crowd rowdier almost than ever before. entertained by stokes and infuriated with a controversial stumping ofjonny bairstow. with the story of a dramatic final day. here's our correspondentjoe wilson. whenjonny bairstow came out to bought, it was still almost in normal test match. when he was out it wasn't.
7:32 pm
the australia wicketkeeper threw down the stumps, where wasjonny bairstow? he wasn't trying to make a run. assuming the over was over, the ball was dead, given out, laws applied. many england supporters thought it was unsporting. listen. crowd boos. ifjonny bairstow fumed, ben stokes unleashed shots astonishing even for him. lunch break, the long room, the establishment, look bottom right. a confrontation between some members of the mcc and australian players. the australians asked for an investigation, the mcc apologised unreservedly. play resumed, ben stokes was calm and strong, he was chasing 371 to win. stuart broad in support kept australia out and frankly wound them them up. is that ball dead yet? is that all right? stokes kept swinging and hit nine sixes in all, now only 70 to win. stokes had been dropped before
7:33 pm
and this time superman finally fell to earth. he made 155, he made england believe and everyone had to respect that. it was 327 all out. australia win but was it all completely fair to think about the jonny bairstow? i think if the shoe was on the other foot i would ask the umpires to put them under pressure and if i had to come to the decision i would have to think about the spirit of the game and would i want to win a test might like that? no. it is england's decision to entertain and joe wilson is with us now from lards,
7:34 pm
joe, ben stokes contribution today, before he got out, we actually started to believe that england where favourites to win this match and that seemed impossible this morning and certainly when they were down for wickets yesterday. what you are saying about england's approach, absolutely. people love the fact that they are positive and are concerned that they are reckless at times. if we think about ben stokes�*s innings, he was mostly composed and it was only whenjonny bairstow was gone he started going for the sixes and unleashing shots. he made a partnership with stuart broad, where he made 100 and broad ii. over the years we've seen many talented english cricketers who wills when the pressure is on, when the pressure is on, ben stokes gets better and that's what makes them so unusual and outstanding. you mention in your piece about the jonny bairstow subplot, though it could it be bigger than that? it has illustrated a real rift not just between the teams
7:35 pm
but also between australia and those watching on. it's interesting when you're in test matches and you start talking about that phrase, the spirit of cricket has always existed somewhere in the air especially here at lords i don't know if it's been consistently supplied at ashes. does change the atmosphere between dreams? some former players were thinking thatjonny bairstow should have more awareness in that situation but it's clear he wasn't trying to take a run or advantage, he thought the ball was dead and the over was over. pat cummings, the australian skipper, has a different demeanour and comes over very well in the media. he is definitely a smiling face rather than a snarling one, so how would he deal with this situation in a post match media?
7:36 pm
let's hearfrom him now. i don't think it's a new one. you see jonny bairstow do it quite a bit. he did it on they one to our guys. it is like he sinks out of his crease after most balls so our wicketkeeper saw and under her arm to tie the stumps and you leave the rest up to the umpires. was there a moment when he thought you might withdraw the appeal? i thought it was totally fair. that's rulesjust like the catch the night before. that's rules and you leave it up to the umpires. that's a fascinating thing. because of the context of that cash that was ruled a i wonder if pat cummings feels like he's duty—bound to press on any advantage that they get at lord's. it's fascinating and it's notjust because of the relationship between the two teams now but because australia have a 2—0 lead and only three games ago. lead and only three games to go. yes, so england also have to think about how they can get a winning team. certain players, ollie pope has a problem with this shoulder
7:37 pm
which we saw during the test match, james anderson wasn't effective, surely they need to get some pace into their attack. mark wood was in the squad, you must surely be fit for headingley and i'm suspect moeen alie will come back into the team, to down and three needed for anglers. look ben stokes has said, we have one series of 3— 04 and we can win three but in a row. some people ask themselves some serious questions amongst the mcc membership about how they behave. if it was raucous here, goodness knows what it will be like that headingley. highlights from another extraordinary day at the ashes are on bbc two at seven o'clock and on bbc iplayer and the bbc sport website. and on bbc iplayer and meanwhile sri lanka have guaranteed a place at the men's 50 over world cup in india later this year. securing one of the two spots available at the

the austrian grand prix for his fifth in a row... as ben croucher reports. motorsport is dangerous, it'ss printed on the ticket and is fully understood by all within it. before racing in austria, a moment to remember a young driver killed in belgium yesterday. it's lights out and away we go. at the red bull ring, no surprises as max verstappen gone ahead and lewis hamilton, wasn't enjoying himself. a mid—race virtual safety car brought up by a retirement shook things up but max verstappen generally finds a way inside or out, the dutchman was back in the lead. behind. lewis, we know the car is bad, please drive it. hammilton strolled his way to seven. max verstappen wins the austrian grand prix .
7:40 pm
a home a victory for austrian team at red bull, a poignant one for dutch motorsport, ben croucher, bbc news. verstappen has got the clean sweep this weekend. fastest in every session. winning yesterday's sprint raceand today's grand prix. a measure of how dominant he is right now i think most important for me is wanting to stay in front after that we could do our own race. we opted not to box during the virtual safety car and follow our normal strategy and i think that worked out really well because the tire life is not so high around here so i think it worked out well with some great day i enjoyed it a lot. britain's adam yates has successfully defended the yellowjersey at the tour de france after finishing in the main bunch on stage two... which was won by the frenchman victor lafay. but adam's twin simon yates is down to third place after two time champion tadej pogacar went above him into second. drew savage reports.
7:41 pm
all smiles on the start line — twin brother simon joining adam yates, ready to tackle the longest stage of the race. san sebastian was today's destination, 124 miles away — and while adam yates may have the yellowjersey he says this man — team—mate and two—time champion tadej pogacar — is the boss. and on the rolling terrain of the basque country, that was how it played out. adam yates provided the springboard for pogacar as the race favourites got down to business on the biggest climb of the day. the slovenian reached the top first to snap up an eight—second time bonus. the race came back together on the run into san sebastian — where frenchman victor lafay got the jump on everybody but yates just had to finish in the main bunch to stay in yellow. lafay held off the chasing pack to win the stage — while pogacar was third behind him... earning another four—second time bonus, enough to leapfrog simon yates in the overall standings so adam yates will ride into france in yellow tomorrow — but with his team—mate rather

britain's lower mirror finish sixth in the 1500 metres. if you're had a �*|_ in the 1500 metres. if you're had a 1— to. th british highjumper laura zialor has told the bbc at her shock at having to crowdfund her rehab, following a ruptured achilles tendon, sustained in competing at last weekend's european team championships last weekend. zialor, who's also a part—time supply teacher, raised the money to see a private specialist, in the face of potential long waits on the nhs... in her race against time to get fit for next year's olympics. zialor isn't funded by uk athletics, who've declined to comment. she spoke to gavin ramjaun. i feel let down and i feel that they should have some duty of care for athletes that compete for them and if they do get injured while competing for them they help them.
7:45 pm
i can understand there can only be a limited amounts people that are funded but when they do end up competing for them like there be some systemic support athletes. i got injured competed for them, there should be some level of aftercare there. what doesn't make sense to me is that the gb team is not full of athletes with funding, a lots of team are not derfunded athletes who have to have other jobs are tense. when these athletes are good enough to represent their countries, which is not a small feat, very difficult to be selected, at the very minimum they should be covered for injuries while competed for gb. i should like to see a change in this athlete agreement and if anything good can come out of my really tragic situation, it would be for the agreement to support all athletes that are on the gb list and on the off chance they do get injured, are taken care of if this happens. i think it's the right thing to do. for yourself going forward, what's
7:46 pm
a future for you as an athlete? what your state of mind right now, and where you want to get to in the next few months? every part of me wants to just recover and get ready for the other pics. ready for the olympics. i would do everything in my power to be back in the form i wasjust in, because i was in really amazing form and get myself back to the olympics. i would have to do that in about seven months because i need to leave enough time to actually compete and win a flight. this has been my dream. last year, i competed in the commonwealth games and european championships and world championships after not being a gb athlete at all. i have done all three in one year and now have been the olympics coming up it was the last one to do, it's been a dream to be an olympian, for me, and it was driving
7:47 pm
to recover and make sure i am there. the sailors in the gruelling round the world ocean race have become part sportspeople part scientists as they try and help understand the impact of climate change while also attempting to win what is considered one of the longest, and toughest, professional sporting events in the world. will harris is a british sailor competing for team malizia, whose boat was fitted with scientific monitoring equipment during the six month race that ended this week in genoa. we spent 125 days sailing in the entire lap of the planet. over 3500 miles and during that we have such an some of the most remote parts of the ocean. in particular the south pacific is known to be the most remote areas with more than 2000 miles from any land. we have definitely had some pretty eye—opening moments noticing man—made things and objects in the water, plastic and debris. our role as sailors is to show this back to everyone back at home who don't get these experiences sailing these remote waters
7:48 pm
and we had to showcase these environment sites are at risk. a figure of 20% in terms of debris that you encounter, a figure of 20% in terms of the rise of debris that you encounter, just from the last race in 2018, is pretty astonishing. you speak about things like life attempting to attach itself to the large parts of debris. describe that to us. you know, i had a really shocking expense myself, shocking experience myself, finding these pieces of plastic stuck around parts of the boat and when i climbed into water to cut them off, we actually found they had been in the water for 20 or 30 years and there was sort of life and plants and animals trying to grow and turn it into their home, i would say. obviously, being plastic, it's not suitable for that. it kind of makes you realise that this debris has been in the water at 20 or 30 years, what is the ocean situation
7:49 pm
going to be in 50 years�* time? it's not possible or sustainable to keep living like this. it's increasing, the amount of ocean debris, so will try to make a change for this. that brings me to the final point where if you are in such such remote areas and witnessing what you are and yet you are in a race and try to win a race as grueling as long as it is, when you're in those places do you almost forget you are in a race and need to win that race because you're looking at something that takes your mind away from the sport of it and turns you to the sustainability of it? exactly, this race is an adventure in itself. just finishing it is a huge challenge. we're lucky to race against a few other yachts on the way but wishing to contribute to science in lots of different ways. we collect atmospheric data and c02 data, we look at how c02 is impacting and changing around our oceans and we're looking
7:50 pm
at the plastics data and the micro plastics sample which is sensitive plastics sample which is sent national research centre in the uk. we're lucky enough to continue contribute in this way. it's a small thing we can do while racing. that was will harris. there are few things that tell you it's summer than to have an engalnd test match rolling into wimbledon. that's exactly how we find ourselves this evening on the eve of the latest tennis grand slam as the all england club prepares to welcome in fans some of whom might already be queueing for the pleasure. while they do, the players have their own sacrifices to make, ie talk to the media... as the weekend before wimbledon for them is spent talking about the two weeks to come. it's a privilege to be top seed
7:51 pm
but i think i deserve that. i worked hard for it. for me it sounds crazy. to be top speed after 20 years from there. it's nice to see the pictures in the halls, and it's amazing feeling and it feels like it was yesterday so, yeah, really nice to be back. i went to the locker rooms and saw elena's pictures with the trophy, i told them they had a wrong picture it's nice to come back and learned a lot from that final, i'm sure if i play another final here, it would be a different one and i will leave my everything on the court. you have to draw from experience. the crowd was really behind you last year and played some amazing tennis and near the one thing.
7:52 pm
that is what i will focus on and take it day by day and trust the process and hopefully i can get back there. i am focusing on the process and learning and i'm not really thinking about the results as much as with other tournaments, i would say. so, for sure, quarterfinals would be a great support. there's always plenty of motivation and am _ there's always plenty of motivation and am aware of the numbers and history— and am aware of the numbers and history and — and am aware of the numbers and history and that's another motivational factor no doubt but i also need — motivational factor no doubt but i also need to try to enjoy what i have _ also need to try to enjoy what i have and — also need to try to enjoy what i have and work hard for what i want. novak djokovic starts off as is expected of the champion. in the number one court it's a number one women seek to start things off you gushed beatific lays then as you. it

is wimbledon all across the bbc on television, online and on radio two. the best of all the action on sportsday each and every day here on bbc news. just a reminder of our top story, that is england are to having zero down in the ashes. a dramatic final day at lords because of the effort of ben stokes but i sure they have an almost unassailable division position to defend winded test resumes on thursday at headingley. a fascinating course of play over the first ten days of summer cricket during england and australia, for the first time england's new approach coming under scrutiny. there are questions throughout this test much about their aggressive style of play, particularly how many wickets were lost in that fashion in the first innings. the architect of that style, along with ben stokes, is the coach. irate

7:55 pm
some orientate the opposition away from bowling what they would like to do there are so many quirks in this game which make up the great game and i think we are adapted really well at times and we missed a couple key opportunities but that's life. test much cricket is intriguing and in interesting, against australia their new site is not proven to be as efficient as they would like to set. plenty more on the bbc website. that's all for now. hello there. it hasn't been too bad this weekend across southern parts of the country, mostly dry with sunny spells, so it has been cooler. further north, though, it's been much cooler and fresher, windy with some outbreaks of rain. and that's how this upcoming week is going to remain for many of us. cool and fresh with some wet, windy, spells of whether at times.
7:56 pm
but towards the end of the week it could warm up for a time, particularly across the south of the country as we switch wind direction. low pressure sits across scandinavia, bringing arctic winds down on a west—northwesterly air flow. you can see the yellows and greens and blue hues there indicating temperatures will remain below par for the time of year. through tonight, although most showers will fade away, there will still be the odd one across western areas, and northern scotland stays windy with outbreaks of rain here and thicker cloud. and these are towns, and city temperatures could be a bit lower still across some rural places. a fresh start to monday, some good spells of sunshine across england and wales however this feature will run in from the west, bringing thicker clouds and showery bursts of rain to wales and then across much of england, northern half of scotland stays quite cloudy and breezy with outbreaks of rain here. so quite a messy picture there. quite a cool feel to things, mid to high teens across the north and high teens, just about 20 degrees, across the southeast. some of these showers could impact the southeast and affect the first day of wimbledon,
7:57 pm
temperatures reaching highs of 18—20 degrees with some sunshine and the chance of showers increases later in the day. then, through monday night, we see further showery rain pushing across the south of the country. this weather front will continue to bring further rain for the northern half of scotland and temperatures on the cool side for the time of year. now, another messy picture as we head into tuesday. this weather front will bring some wet weather, we think, to the south of the country, this one will be lying across scotland and northern ireland. enhancing the showers here. we could see some showery bursts of rain, some of it heavy across south wales, southern and southeast england through the day on tuesday. in between, sunshine and showers, but i think the winds will be strongest across the south of the country. so it's going to feel pretty cool for the time of year, 13—19 degrees across the south, factor in the wind and the rain here, and it will feel cooler than that. an unsettled theme as we head through the week, even into next weekend, but a chance of it warming up for a time through the south as we pick up southerly winds.
7:59 pm
live from london, this is bbc news. after five nights of rioting across france an appeal for calm from the grandmother of the boy whose killing by police sparked the violence. president emmanuel macron is meeting government ministers to discuss the five nights of unrest in towns and cities across france. extra police are expected to be deployed nationwide once again. a warning from nhs england — patients are paying the price for strike action and the disruption it could get worse. laws aimed at curbing protest methods have come into force in england and wales.
