good evening. i'm checking empathic live on day five at the wimbledon championship. it's been a glorious day three, british players to meet the next round, but it hasn't gone to plan. agony for andy murray. the two—time champion andy murray is out, ten years to the day of his first success at the all england club. beaten at the all england club. in five. a at the all england club. semifinalist last year. cam norrie is also out after his defeat against american christopher eubanks. things are going much betterfor liam broady. after a remarkable win yesterday, he's level at one set all against denis shapovalov. can he avoid it and just of the space of a few hours? we will bring

you the latest. surviving a scare — women's second seed aryna sabalenka is through to the third round after a three—sit win over varvara gracheva. and i'm gavin ramjaun at the bbc sport studio away from wimbledon. we'll be live at headlingley and have all the latest from lord's — with both the men's and women's ashes on the line. and so close for mark cavendish, who's denied a tour de france record in the final stages of today's stage. it didn't quite happen the way the british fans here wanted it to. hundreds of people leaving.

most of the fans with disappointed expressions because they were hoping it would be a friday night to remember — one of those epic andy murray wins, one of those where were you moments. we sought incredible three sets last time against steph and us since he pots —— stefanos tsitsipas. when he resumed, he was playing well. there was no sign of him being injured, but stefanos tsitsipas, trying to reach fourth round of his championships for the fourth time, and tsitsipas in the end was the more consistent player. boy, did andy murray play his heart out yet again. ten years on from his first wimbledon title, he came into these championships feeling better than he has for a really long time. he won a few, but tsitsipas is a set

up. he knew he had it in it to win, but he couldn't get himself over the line, and tsitsipas took it, the fourth set in the fifth, and murray denied a place in the third round. catching his breath as well i know is don, thanks forjoining us. you are on the cam rematch. —— cameron nor rematch. you know what it meant to murray to win here, but i know it's going to be disappointed, but where is andy's had going to be losing that one in five? honestly, i think there — losing that one in five? honestly, i think there might _ losing that one in five? honestly, i think there might be _ losing that one in five? honestly, i think there might be a _ losing that one in five? honestly, i think there might be a few - think there might be a few rockets being broken! i think he will have thought this

was an opportunity. he was feeling physically very good. he's won a lot of what match is lately, so technically, he's feeling he's building nicely, and i think will be so frustrated that all the momentum he gained from yesterday, overnight he's lost, he has to start from scratch. we've seen him start a little slow and build up. it gives tsitsipas the chance to come through. tsitsipas the chance to come throu~h. ~ . _, ., through. what if we could hang in that lace through. what if we could hang in that place for— through. what if we could hang in that place for a _ through. what if we could hang in that place for a long _ through. what if we could hang in that place for a long time, - through. what if we could hang in that place for a long time, and i through. what if we could hang in i that place for a long time, and they started an hour earlier, how effective do you think it would be by that night break. it's tough coming back the next day and trying to pick up where you left off. i think it's only helped tsitsipas. all the momentum was with andy murray. he had been flaying five sets the day before, so let's give him a little more respite. if he was to come back and play another 5

cents, he would have been struggling. —— five sets. that's really hurt his chances. we struggling. -- five sets. that's really hurt his chances. we have to cive really hurt his chances. we have to give tsitsipas _ really hurt his chances. we have to give tsitsipas his _ really hurt his chances. we have to give tsitsipas his dues, _ really hurt his chances. we have to give tsitsipas his dues, because i really hurt his chances. we have to | give tsitsipas his dues, because we say he doesn't always seem to be there. we know he's reached the final of the french open and the australian open. needed a big result here. but this has got to be a springboard moment. i couldn't agree more and i think— springboard moment. i couldn't agree more and i think winning _ springboard moment. i couldn't agree more and i think winning on _ springboard moment. i couldn't agree more and i think winning on centre . more and i think winning on centre court against a home favourite, the crowd really against him — those of the things that really give you that good confidence. he came through a tough one. he's building it up nicely for himself, so he's definitely someone to watch out for because he's going to be red—hot. let's talk about cameron norrie, because it has been an extraordinary hour. we're trying to keep a trust three matches. —— keep across. we're

going to tell you about broady in a moment, but let's talk about cam norrie. he has gone all out against the american christopher eubanks. let's bring our viewers up—to—date with exactly what happened in that one. zelensky was watching. british hope that wimbledon were still spread across the grounds. on the hottest day of the week on the hill, they would have to choose where to look. on court number one, the nation's taught men player, cameron norrie for 12 seed, but in round two he faced a serving heavyweight. this is american christopher eubanks, who with power and pick—ups charged into the match. the first five games went by with all 20 points won on eubanks would land at the first punch. cam all 20 points won on eubanks would land at the first punch.— land at the first punch. cam norrie is caettin land at the first punch. cam norrie is getting overpowered. _ land at the first punch. cam norrie is getting overpowered. a - land at the first punch. cam norrie is getting overpowered. a set - land at the first punch. cam norrie i is getting overpowered. a set down, norrie would —

the match because i can only watch so much of it! it wasn't when we were expecting last year to win. what went wrong for cam? i don't think it was _ what went wrong for cam? i don't think it was that _ what went wrong for cam? i don't think it was that much _ what went wrong for cam? i don't think it was that much wrong - what went wrong for cam? i don'tj think it was that much wrong from him. he was playing as eubanksjust won. he is feeling so good about himself and he was playing like a man possessed. serving rockets, 2i aiders. claiming from every angle of the court. he was truly on fire and norrie did a greatjob of hustling it out —— eighters. haifa norrie did a great “0b of hustling it out -- eighters.— it out -- eighters. now he has what a statement — it out -- eighters. now he has what a statement from _ it out -- eighters. now he has what a statement from him, _ it out -- eighters. now he has what a statement from him, really - a statement from him, really inconsistent year starting well. not the result that you had last year going into wimbledon where he met novak in the semifinals. we were hoping last year we would springboard for him, and it hasn't really gone that way. is a

springboard for him, and it hasn't really gone that way.— really gone that way. is a difficult one. he's really gone that way. is a difficult one- he's played _ really gone that way. is a difficult one. he's played a _ really gone that way. is a difficult one. he's played a lot _ really gone that way. is a difficult one. he's played a lot of - really gone that way. is a difficultl one. he's played a lot of matches. it's going fantastic. i wonder if he's played a little too much. he's almost playing every other week. he's someone who definitely needs the repetitions. maybe there's a little bit of fatigue coming in. irate little bit of fatigue coming in. we talked about three british players trying to reach the next round. let's talk about liam brody, because he is still alive in these championships. something �*s not done before. let's take you to court two. this is where he isjust a day after. he reached the last four grand slam titles, now gets denis shapovalov, a man who beat andy murray. you can see it once at all. it shop of a love who is serving to win this set. —— shapovalov.

you, and that's what she did. it tells you, you know what, i can win when i'm laying at 18, i9, tells you, you know what, i can win when i'm laying at 18, 19, whatever percentage. she stepped up, her opponentjust dropped her level, and it's that fear factor that players have against her.— have against her. she's really prepelled _ have against her. she's really prepelled her _ have against her. she's really propelled her game - have against her. she's really propelled her game this - have against her. she's really| propelled her game this year. sabalenka won the australian open, and i can tell you denis shapovalov has just taken that third set against liam broady. liam broady is heading out of wimbledon with two sets to fight back on a day we've already seen andy murray and cam norrie go out, and so much still to tell you about the hand back. thank you, chethan. come on, liam broady. so, another day of drama in the ashes. to headingley first for the men's third test, where england really need are result to stay in the series. it was dreadful start to the second day — joe root and jonny bairstow among

four wickets to fall in the morning. ben stokes, england's captain and talisman, again saving the day, top scoring with 80 as england were 237 all out. still behind the australian first innings total, england's made some great headway into the australian batting — stuart broad with the wicket off old foe david warner. let's get the latest with joe wilson, who's at headlingley for us. how disappointed will they be with the start to the second day? this was a gripping _ the start to the second day? in 3 was a gripping day of ashes cricket with england just about hanging in there. but it was a beautiful, typical yorkshire summer day and i think a lot of supporters came to see england and yorkshire bat long. instead, joe root agreed to my calls before he fell. good cuts from david warner. australian catching was pretty good. he fell early and he was on by early �*s. johnny bairstow also fell in the first hour. an old—fashioned kind of

day of test match batting under the sun did not materialise. it was left to you know who, ben stokes. when we take a look at the way that ben stokes batted, keep in mind he is limited physically. he's had treatment throughout the day. looks like a kind of lower back issue, but he batted the way we saw before. australia have a young spin bowler in their team here, todd murphy, replacing nathan lyon. he got a bit of punishment. he would say he took one wicket and it was ben stokes's, but by the end of the innings, england called their way back into it. 26 runs behind. one way or another, gavin, they spread their way back to the match. share another, gavin, they spread their way back to the match.— way back to the match. are they doinu so way back to the match. are they doing so far _ way back to the match. are they doing so far with _ way back to the match. are they doing so far with the _ way back to the match. are they doing so far with the wickets? . way back to the match. are they i doing so far with the wickets? one of the crucial ones to go from the australian order. the of the crucial ones to go from the australian order.— australian order. the most predictable _ australian order. the most predictable thing _ australian order. the most predictable thing that - australian order. the most - predictable thing that happened australian order. the most _ predictable thing that happened was, as you put it, to brought it got rid of david warner again. —— stuart

broad. good catch from zach crawley. that gave england a really dynamic start. they then had to dig in a little bit because mark wood his bowling here. it was moeen ali who took a couple of key wickets. maybe that's what pressured us to you even for the likes of steve smith. we saw him give his wicket away forjust two as he left the field. there was a little chat with johnny two as he left the field. there was a little chat withjohnny bairstow along the lines of see you later. it leaves the score 116—4, australia the lead. 142 rounds. big does not need to be frustrated to feel comfortable. i think pretty big indeed. let's see how it pans out. joel wilson, thank

you very much indeed. the highlights are on today at the test at seven o'clock on bbc four and the bbc iplayer. and just before we move on, if you think today's drama at headingley has finally banished all the talk of thejonny bairstow controversy from the second test, you'd be wrong. it's not just cricket that's getting in on the row. have a look at this from down under. this is rugby league side canberra raiders, celebrating a try in their win over the dragons earlier, re—enacting the dismissal that caused all the arguments. the man pretending to be bairstow there — elliot whitehead, who is english. there we go. maybe needs afterwards with himself there in terms of patriotism! to the women's ashes, then — and england have still have lots of work to do. they can't lose any of their four games to come, but they have at least landed one punch on the world champions. they kept their hopes alive with a three—run victory over australia in the must—win second t20 match at the oval. there are three one—day matches to come, which have all sold out, but before that, the third and final t20 takes

place at lord's tomorrow, and our reporterjo currie is there. much like the weather here in north london, this women's ashes is hotting up. england will have taken plenty of confidence from that vital win on wednesday, and it also means their hopes of winning the series is very much alive. however, things are still very finely balance. one more victory for australia, they retained the trophy. it means this match tomorrow is pivotal.— the trophy. it means this match tomorrow is pivotal. every game is a must win game- _ tomorrow is pivotal. every game is a must win game. trying _ tomorrow is pivotal. every game is a must win game. trying to _ tomorrow is pivotal. every game is a must win game. trying to break- tomorrow is pivotal. every game is a must win game. trying to break that down and for it not to seem so big, it's most important thing for us. australia aren't used for defeat —— to defeat. they say that loss on wednesday was just a blip. ida to defeat. they say that loss on wednesday wasjust a blip. wednesday was 'ust a blip. no one likes losing. — wednesday was 'ust a blip. no one likes losing, no — wednesday wasjust a blip. no one likes losing, no one _ wednesday wasjust a blip. no one likes losing, no one strives - wednesday wasjust a blip. no one likes losing, no one strives to - wednesday wasjust a blip. no one likes losing, no one strives to do i likes losing, no one strives to do that _ likes losing, no one strives to do that a_ likes losing, no one strives to do that a bit— likes losing, no one strives to do that. a bit of a kick on the bottom for us _ that. a bit of a kick on the bottom for us i_ that. a bit of a kick on the bottom for us. i think we're all pretty

this goes out. so such was the hope, but beaten and the fact that we're playing second and third round matches has been one of the challenges of this year's champions. we've also seen protests happening on the court next to me. we got the thoughts of the director on some of the challenges. this is what he had to say. are number one priority is to protect the integrity of the competition, so we don't want players to be too far ahead of the other players in this section of the draw, because then you get an imbalance. it is challenging and there's way more decisions that we have to make as well, and that includes whether we're playing with roof on our roof off. we've been really delighted with how the surface has played this week. sometimes when the grass has been really lush at the start of the event, sometimes we have seen

players slip a little bit more, but this week, we've had a couple of slips. we are doing all sorts of testing on the surface, both anecdotally and all the data we have as well. the centre court particularly is in great shape, so we've been really happy. lats particularly is in great shape, so we've been really happy.- we've been really happy. lots of disruptions _ we've been really happy. lots of disruptions on _ we've been really happy. lots of disruptions on wednesday i we've been really happy. lots of disruptions on wednesday twice | we've been really happy. lots of. disruptions on wednesday twice on the day. what was your thoughts on what happened?— the day. what was your thoughts on what happened? obviously, it came as a massive surprise _ what happened? obviously, it came as a massive surprise and _ what happened? obviously, it came as a massive surprise and -- _ what happened? obviously, it came as a massive surprise and -- it _ what happened? obviously, it came as a massive surprise and -- it didn't i a massive surprise and —— it didn't come. we had all the plans in place we needed to. my specific role was to look after the competition part and the players in the officials, and the players in the officials, and that they know they were doing and that they know they were doing and they reacted well. i made a point of going to speak to the players after all of the incidents, and the really encouraging thing for me was the fact that the one thing that really stood out for them was the players they really felt safe in the players they really felt safe in the situation. it's about the umpire taking charge, about the court

protection, and they did a great job. we obviously want everyone who comes here to wimbledon to have an amazing time. we want them to respect the safety and the enjoyment of everyone who comes. hopefully we won't see anything else, but if we do, we're ready to deal with it. that is jamie baker speaking to us earlier. 1000 names in my head, one of them is liam broady. let's take you to court two. these are fans fanning themselves. shapovalov is 10 cents to one, but it's going with server. broady 2—1 up. follow it across the bbc, but we are totally out time. from me and the team, thanks for being with us. good night. hello there. we had quite a mixed weather picture for friday,

certainly for scotland and northern ireland. we started the day with rather grey and cloudy skies, like these. and the rain that we had that started on thursday lasted into the first part of friday morning, bringing about a third of a month's worth of rain in places, so it was really quite a wet spell of weather. even as that cleared, there were just one or two showers that followed through through the afternoon. through the afternoon, but generally, the weather at least did turn brighter. further south across england, wales, different story — lots of sunshine, both morning and afternoon, and blue sunny skies like these in eastbourne it was also a hot day across parts of eastern england. that's where we had the highest temperatures, with highs hitting the 30—degree mark in london's st james's park, but 28 there for hull and for cambridge as well. overnight tonight, we'll keep those dry weather conditions going for the vast majority of the uk. it's a night where, well, it's going to be quite warm, really, with temperatures for northern ireland, england and wales, about 18—20 degrees for our towns and cities. a bit fresher and more comfortable in scotland.

tomorrow, well, it should be a fine and sunny start to the day, but showers get going quickly for northern ireland, wales and western england. they'll turn thundery through the morning, and then, into the afternoon, those storms start to leap northwards into northern england and scotland as well, with some really torrential downpours possible. now, in the heaviest of those downpours, we could see around 50 millimetres of rain in the space ofjust a few hours. and that could bring some communities flash flooding, but there'll be others at the same time, they completely dodge the rain and stay dry, with sunny weather all day. now, the highest temperature is probably again across eastern england, upper 20s here, but 27 or so for northern scotland, where it's going to be a warmer day overall compared with friday. at the wimbledon tennis championships, yes, you might well see a rain delay. there could be some showers around, but they could turn up just about any time. now, saturday, night—time thunderstorms work across northern england and scotland. lots of thunder and lightning in these still with some

hefty downpours, and those storms still around for the first part of sunday, clearing northwards out of the way. might also see some storms come up from france to clipper eastern england. otherwise, a dry and sunny morning with showers developing from the south and west into the afternoon with a few thunderstorms around. overall, temperatures a little bit lower, generally low—to—mid 20s, and a fresher feel to the weather as well. live from london. this is bbc news the us is expected to announce plans to send controversial cluster

munitions to ukraine — despite many countries banning them
