the captain stokes looked as though he would carry england to victory as he upped the tempo as the last recognised batsman. he hit nine sixes and had a century partnership with stuart broad for the seventh wicket. but once stokes was out, england's hopes went with him. the main talking point really was the dismissal ofjonny bairstow, the sixth wicket down. bairstow ducked under the final ball of a cameron green over and thinking the over was finished, the ball dead, he left his crease, but the australian wicketkeeper alex carey threw down the stumps and by the letter of the law, bairstow was out. well, the incident also angered the majority of the crowd at lords and three lord's members have been suspended pending an investigation after verbally abusing australia's players as they walked through the famous long room inside the pavilion at lunch. as for the incident itself, out on the field, here are the captain's views. i don't think it's a new one, you know, in fact, you know,
2:46 am
you seejohnny do it quite a bit. he did it on day one to our guys. yeah, hejust looked like he sneaks out of his crease after most balls. so kerry saw it and kind of underarmed it at the stumps and you leave the rest up to the umpires. was there any moment when you thought, "i might withdraw the appeal? " no, i thought i thought it was totally fair. that's the rules. just like the mitchell starc catch the night before. that's the rules. you know, you leave it up to the umpires. i mean, first- foremost, it's out. and a big part of it is| obviously, you know, understanding when is it over? you know, both umpires were in the movement l of as umpires do. one goes to square leg, - the other one comes in front of the stump. so, look, johnny was in his i crease and then he came out of his crease to come and have that chat in between _ in the overs. and i think if the shoe i
2:47 am
was on the other foot as, again, you know, i would say| that i would ask the umpires, you know, put them under a little bit of pressure - and then i would have| to come to a decision. i would have to think about, you know, the whole spirit i of the game and what i actually want to win a test _ match like that. and when i think- about that, it's a no. well, our sports correspondent joe wilson was at lord's, gave us his thoughts on a dramatic final day at the home of cricket. well, here's the end of a test match when we find ourselves discussing the spirit of cricket. it's always existed somewhere over this sport. i'm never sure if it's been applied consistently in the ashes. there are lots of perspectives on the dismissal ofjohnny ba i rstow. certainly he wasn't trying to take an advantage when he left the crease. he thought the ball was dead. alex carey, australia's wicketkeeper, reacted very quickly to throw down the stumps. the laws were applied. bairstow was out. australia's captain says fair, england says, well, no. ben stokes played one of his very best innings here today in defeat rather than victory. but the way he applied himself early in his innings then went to those blistering attacks later on.
2:48 am
a real example of how this type of attacking cricket can still work for england. now, there was a raucous atmosphere, hostile even here at times, and the behaviour of some of the mcc members in the long room, i wonder if they will be regretting that in the cold light of day. somehow england have got to try and take this fighting spirit the right way into the third test because australia are now in a very dominant position, 2—0 up, three to play. they don't lose series from here, do they? joe wilson at lord's. let's stay with cricket because sri lanka have booked their place at the 50—over world cup later this year. they beat the host zimbabwe, the only other team with a 100% record in this qualifying event by nine wickets in bulawayo after bowling zimbabwe out for 165 133 overs, it took sri lanka just as many overs to knock off the runs required. pathum nissanka 101, not out. zimbabwe can still qualify if they beat scotland on tuesday.

max verstappen has continued his dominance in this season's formula one world championship, winning a fifth race in a row after starting on pole. the 2—time world champion eased to victory at the austrian grand prix, moving 81 points clear in the drivers standings behind verstappen and ferrari's. charles leclerc took second with verstappen�*s red bull teammate sergio perez in third. it's been a very positive weekend for us. you know, with the sprint format, it is always a bit more hectic, but i think we did everything well as a team and today the car is really, really good. i think we we're really looking well after our tyres. and then of course you can just settle into a rhythm. and i think also, you know, the virtual safety car did a made it a bit different for strategies for, for quite a few cars but we just stuck to our own one and i think that worked out well. we did a good race today. the first stint we had to really take care of those tires.
2:50 am
for some reason they were. i was a bit struggling with with the rears. so trying to take a bit of of margin on that first set. and then in the second and last stint i could push a bit more and the pace came together quite nice. we are still far from from the red bull, so on that we still need to, to work quite hard. but overall it's been a good day, a positive feeling. ukraine have completed the semi—final line up for the under 21 european championship in romania and georgia came from behind to beat france 3—1. england are also into the final four. they beat portugal i—o. newcastle's anthony gordon with the only goal. england will face israel. ukraine will take on spain in the semis. after a 4—year wait, the american golfer rickie fowler is back in the winner's circle. he won the latest event on the pga tour. the rocket mortgage classic in detroit. had to hold his nerve to do so, though he finished in a three
2:51 am
way tie for the lead on 2a under par after his final round, but then won the tournament on the first playoff hole. on the dp world tour, new zealand's daniel hillier shot two eagles and a birdie in the space of three holes on the back, nine to rocket up the leaderboard at the british masters, finishing on ten under two shots clear. the british cyclist adam yates has retained the leader's yellow jersey following stage two of the tour de france, finishing the chasing pack at the end of the stage into san sebastian, which was won by the frenchman, victor lafay. tadej pogacar moved up to second six seconds behind. stage three sees the tour into france on monday. the dutch sprinter lorena wiebes won stage three of the women's giro d'italia ahead of her fellow countrywoman, marianne vos. annemiek van vleuten keeps the leader's pinkjersey with six stages to go. now some big tennis news. nick kyrgios has pulled out of wimbledon on the eve of this year's tournament. last year's runner up there has torn a ligament in his wrist.
2:52 am
the australian has hardly played this year, pulling out of his home grand slam at the start of the year with a knee injury that required surgery. kyrgios was due to play on the first day on court one against belgium's david goffin. so kyrgios is out before hitting a ball in anger. he actually completed his media rounds on sunday before withdrawing. we've heard from plenty of other contenders, though, all hoping to still be standing at the end of wimbledon fortnight. yes, privileged, you know, to be top seed. but i think i deserved that. you know, i worked really, really hard for for that. but, you know, for me, it sounds crazy to be top, top seed after, you know, 20 years about from the, you know, top top four.
2:53 am
it's really nice to see also the pictures in the halls. and yeah, it's it's amazing feeling and it actually feels like it was yesterday. so. yeah, really nice to be back. i went to the locker rooms. i saw elena's photo, - you know, with the trophy. i was like, no, you guys have the wrong picture. | but it's it's nice to come back. i obviously learned . a lot from that final. i'm sure if i play another final here, it will be - a different one. and we'll leave my - everything on the court. i'm kind ofjust focusing on grass, on a process and on learning. and i'm not really thinking about, you know, the results as much as on other tournaments. i would say. so, for sure. quarterfinals would be a great step forward. yeah, there's always plenty of motivation. and you know, i'm aware of the numbers in the history. so that's that's another motivational factor, no doubt. but, you know, i also need to try to enjoy what i have and work hard for what i want.
2:54 am
that is just about it. a reminder of our top story, australia going 2—0 up in the ashes series against england after winning by 43 runs at lord's. lots more on that on the bbc sport website or your bbc sport app. but for me and the rest of the team, goodbye for now. hello. after the warmth ofjune, a completely different weather set—up for the start ofjuly. probably summed up best by showing the outlook at wimbledon, of course, which starts on monday. first part of the week, rain at times, not a wash—out by any means, but it's going to feel cool. temperatures below average and a bit breezy at times before things warm up later. and the reason is we've got low pressure centred across scandinavia. we're on the southern edge
2:55 am
of it, so winds coming in from the west and north—west, and various banks of rain. and with temperatures dropping compared to what we've seen, probably one of the coolest commutes we've had for a while on monday morning. temperatures for many in single figures. and whilst many start with some sunshine overhead, though, to warm things up, there will be showers getting going across the west and still there in the north of scotland. but it's this batch of showers that work from west to east across england and wales with some sunshine either side, so a few heavy showers lingering through the afternoon, too. but still, that cloud outbreaks of rain continues in northern scotland. a blustery day, particularly for england and wales, and that will just add to the cool feel, especially in the cloudier moments. and when the showers are coming through, temperatures at 15—20 below the july average of around 17—23 degrees. and another cool night will follow. showers fade for many for a while during the first part of the night, though, still that cloud, outbreaks of rain, in northern scotland edging a bit further southwards. and then, later in the night, south wales and southern half of england, a bank of more persistent rain, will gradually work its way in keeping temperatures up here in double figures, but a cool start
2:56 am
to tuesday elsewhere. now, it will be a wet morning, it looks like, across some southern counties of england, east anglia, before brightening up into the afternoon. sunshine and showers elsewhere, but central scotland into northern ireland, slightly more cloudy than we have seen on monday. again, a greater chance of a few showers. brightening up in northern scotland, but really cool here —12—13 degrees — and temperatures still in the teens further south, nowhere really getting much above 20 celsius. then as you go through tuesday night into wednesday, it's all down to what happens to this little wave here. at the moment, looks like that will push through france, taking more persistent rain. it could get very close to the south coast, though, so there is the chance of some high cloud drifting up and some outbreaks of rain through the english channel. but at the moment, it looks like that will stay clear. a few showers dotted around to the south and the west, heaviest across scotland, northern ireland, some hail and thunder mixed in. and with winds a bit lighter than monday and tuesday, temperatures mightjust creep up a bit more in the sunnier moments. they will creep up even further into next end of the week as southerly winds develop.
2:57 am
there could be some storms in the west.
