rank is the favourite for roger federer equalling eight wimbledon singles titles. jordan thompson of australia caused him some trouble at times, but nothing to worry novak djokovic too much. also safely through to the third round is iga swiatek, the number one and top seed hoping to win her first wimbledon title. she beat sorribes tormo in straight sets. the match of day was arguably on court two. it saw tsitsipas ultimately beat the former us open champion, thiem in a final set tie—break. it's andy murray that awaits tsitsipas in that second round on thursday. there were also wins on wednesday for daniel medvedev, taylor fritz, frances tiafoe, holga rune, young ben shelton behind me. couple of surprising results, pliskova a finalist going out while the eighth seed was beaten in three sets by ukraine's athlete. england's women have kept their ashes hopes alive with a thrilling three—run victory over australia in the must—win second t20.

england still trail 6—2 in the multi—format series but inflicted a first t20 defeat for the world champions since march 2021 jo curry was at the oval for us. this is a momentous win for england, notjust to keep the ashes alive, but also some much needed confidence. victory against the world champions, well, they don't come along very often. he had opened the batting with daycare. danny wyatt, sean webb with an unbeaten 76. that was followed by a middle order collapse. however, the tail and managed to steer england to a very impressive 186. that's their ever t20 total against australia to give themselves a real chance. now, about a 20,000 strong crowd, the captain got australia off to a solid start with the bat before they lost four wickets for 16 runs which had england fans

with bairstow, any criticism around himself he has always managed to do something. whether he uses the incident last week as some kind of inspiration to get the best out of himself this week, who knows question mark every individualjust need to do what they need to do to get themselves up for this week. so, what right now is in the mind of a shirt is kept in looking ahead to this test went looking back to sunday, knowing that so many people in the last few days have raised this issue? of the spirit of cricket? people were asking where that was in the long run at lunchtime on sunday, i take that on board. do you think the spirits of cricket is a real thing or something we like to thing exist? i think it's a real thing. 100%. i think at times there is nuance to it, everyone might state a bit differently which is fine. that is part of it. i think that's one of

the beauties of our sport. you talk about it being a gentleman sport, you want to maintain respect for the opposition at all times, the umpires, fans, the game. i think it's one of the strengths of our game. do you think that was upheld at lord's? people might wonder if you had any personal embarrassment about that in the days that the followed? in that regard, yes. england's team will be different. mark would with coming, chris wilkes will try to tease out if you take quick it's mowing attis back and johnny bairstow patent number five, and above all that england would hope for some intangible head the magic to win this test match was up that right now is a theory. there's a new leader of the tour de france after a hard day of racing in the pyrenees. australia's jai hindley has taken the yellow jersey from britain's adam yates,

to where that happens. for us to ignore liv players because of politics and have the us have liv players would make us look foolish. i hope he doesn't come to that. that is only if one of our pledge is good enough, and you would think garcia would be the lead guy from that point and i think the european team room would be better with a sergio garcia in it. mason mount has completed his transfer from chelsea to manchester united for an initial £55 million pounds. the 24—year—old midfielder, who came through chelsea's academy, is united's first signing ahead of the new season and has joined on a five—year contract. england have reached their first european under—21 championship final since 2009 after beating israel 3—nil in georgia. morgan gibbs—white opened the scoring in the 42nd

hello. our fairly unsettled spell of july weather is set to continue through the remainder of the week, really and we're going to be seeing temperatures gradually on the rise over the next few days. but through thursday, some sunshine in the forecast, particularly so towards the east, but also a bit of rain mainly across the north—west of the uk. down to the fact that we've got this area of low pressure approaching from the atlantic, whereas high pressure across the continent is dominating things further south and east. so for thursday, fairly fresh starts the best of the sunshine will be for eastern scotland, eastern and southern parts of england and into wales, but cumulus cloud builds through the day and that willjust bring the odd shower mainly in the north and the west of the british isles. more persistent rain arrives across northern ireland during the afternoon. it'll be windy here with gusts about a0 miles an hour and temperatures 15 to 22 degrees. don't think we'll see any interruptions at wimbledon today due to the weather, but just a very small chance

of a shower in the afternoon as that cloud builds. next few days at wimbledon, hot and humid on friday, thunderstorms and showers possible for saturday and for sunday. now back to thursday in the afternoon. in the evening, that area of rain drifts out of northern ireland across parts of scotland, becoming fairly light and patchy overnight, but across england and wales, quite a warm, humid night. temperatures certainly remaining in double figures overnight. they're not quite as fresh compared to wednesday night. but what we're going to see on friday as this area of low pressure, this frontal system drifts its way northwards, it'll open the doors for this warm and moist flow coming in from the south. so a hot, humid feeling day for some of us on friday, especially so across england and wales. a bit more cloud and showery rain at times for scotland and northern ireland with a bit of a breeze blowing too, but for the warmest spots we're likely to see 28 or 29 degrees on friday, typically the low 20s further north. now heading on into the weekend, we've got that warm, moist, humid air with us and then low pressure again moving in from the atlantic. so the combination of those two things means we could see some very lively weather on saturday.

some thunderstorms possible almost anywhere where you see these heavy showers and that hot, humid air, fresh airjust returning from the west later in the day. a bit of uncertainty about the timing, location of some of those showers still quite warm ahead of them with temperatures again in the mid 20s. so a brief spell of heat to think friday into saturday, but some thunderstorms through the weekend and they're going to continue the unsettled trend into next week. bye— bye.
