hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh ferris live at the bbc sport centre. as headingley provides england with hope once again, another close test match, but this time it goes the home side's way and the ashes is still alive. i'm chetan pathak live at wimbledon. it is full of them day and andre rublev wins a thriller on centre court, beating bou blick to reach his first wimbledon centre finals. also in the final for the first time in her career, the women's forced seed america'sjessica pegula. —— fourth seed. also coming up on sportsday... six in a row for max verstappen... as he wins the british grand prix for the first time in his career... despite the best efforts of a british driver

and if it weren't for the wind — zharnel hughes is denied a blistering british record in the 200 metres. hello and welcome along to sports day. the ashes has been at times confounding, often chaotic, but most importantly for england, the series is still alive. they beat australia by three wickets to win the third test at headingley — so often a place of significant victories against their fiercest rivals. joe wilson reports. from 11am head of dingley expected. everyone was just a great england's batters. not quite everyone. australia's start with and lbw. have a book batting on that ball is safe.

chasing 251, england reached 100. supporters relaxed a bit. did you really on this day, like that? a touch from joe root no juggler, just alex carey's touch from joe root no juggler, just alex ca rey�*s love touch from joe root no juggler, just alex carey's love safe. england fall down. it was hard to look but had to look too. ben stokes was there. ben stokes was out. gone for 13 and the world from moment stop to trudge off. not him this time are notjonny bairstow. six down, still 80 to win and still down headingley felt empty below, harry brook, the 24—year—old yorkshireman was still going. he got to 25 and that time it was coming. 21 to one foot played the shot. to australians underneath it and the captain took it, just. in came matt wood and the quickest route to victory was the boundary. now he

crunched the winning runs in his return to the team. after a day of cricket were nothing felt certain the max was done. the series alive. joe canjoin joe can join us joe canjoin us now from headingley. it has been a fascinating series that seems to be permanently on a knife edge are no different today. this weather we have had right now reminders of course the weather we had yesterday and just makes the point that really this was the three day test match, low scoring, fast—moving, exhilarating. yet today i went to a cycle and emotions of hope, belief, dread. i'm sure that was the same for all england supporters and australian supporters following the match in the various ways that you can do. just when it seemed that england had made it more or less certain, something happened.

a wicket was lost. i wasn't sure if harry brook would be on to play that anchor role today but he was playing so well and then gets the point where just 21 runs were needed and then he is dismissed. we have to think of little moments like when mac came in and just walloped a six like in the first innings where he walloped ben stokes and then the role of chris woakes down the order and the experience of the extra batting was crucial as well. he did extremely well and i haven't even mentioned the performance of mitchell starc with his five—point yesterday. he was a bowler who kept bringing australia back into it. ultimately, i guess you would say england have won a test match without ever really being in control of it despite the fact they won the toss and over the four days they had the best of weather. star; toss and over the four days they had the best of weather.— the best of weather. stay with us only because _ the best of weather. stay with us only because i — the best of weather. stay with us only because i want _ the best of weather. stay with us only because i want you - the best of weather. stay with us only because i want you to - the best of weather. stay with us| only because i want you to soften the pain for little bit longer. you can hear from both captains, hearfrom both captains, starting with ben stokes. i hear from both captains, starting with ben stokes.— hear from both captains, starting with ben stokes. i ended up doing robabl 15

side. the work continues a little bit and try to fix it. today was just one of those days when going to the phrases damaged phases and executing the race the way we wish to. in the women's 200 metres, it was daryll neita who came out on top, clocking a championships record of 22.25 seconds to win ahead of bianca williams. the result qualifies for the world championships... where she could also run the 100 metres there was a big shock in the women's 1500m, laura muirfailing to defend her british title, as katie snowden powered past the olympic silver medalist in the final 200 metres to win her first british title and keely hodgkinson won the 800m title, the olympic and world silver medallist out running defending champion jemma reekie over the final straight. the world para—athletics championships are under way in paris — it's the biggest competition in para—athletics after the paralympics and comes a year before the games takes place in the city. yesterday saw the opening ceremony,

two world cups and went on the last three lions tours. hull fc came from behind to win their super league derby against hull kingston rovers to help maintain their hopes of a place in the playoffs. the black and whites were 6—0 down at half—time, before adam swift ran 70 metres to score the first of his two tries that saw his side recover in the second half to win16—6. it's hull fc�*s first win at craven park in more than five years and a sixth losss in seven for rovers. elsewhere this afternoon, leeds rhinos narrowly beat salford. great britain have won the overall world rowing cup title in switzerland. 0n the final day of action in lucerne, they won four gold medals, including another victory for world and european champions emily craig and imogen grant in the women's double sculls beating their opponents by more than four seconds defending championjonas vingegaard's lead at the tour de france has been cut by seven seconds after a hard—fought battle on the puy de dome — two—time winner tadej pogacar is nowjust 18 seconds off the lead. stage 9 was won by canada's michael woods — taking his first stage victory at the tour as the race climbed the iconic extinct volcano for the first time in 35 years.

pogacar had the advantage, as the race favourites fought it out on the steep slopes leading to the finish line, but vingegaard hung in there and limited his losses. a strong ride from britain's tom pidcock saw him move up to seventh overall, behind adam and simon yates who are still fifth and sixth. meanwhile, mark cavendish has said goodbye to his team—mates after a broken collarbone ruled him out of the rest of this year's race. he'll fly home to have surgery. but his team, astana-qazaqstan, have offered him the chance to ride the tour next year... and possibly break the outright record for stage victories, even though he'd planned to retire at the end of this season dutch rider annameek van vleuten has won the women's giro d'italia for the fourth time... putting herjoint second on the all—time list with her fellow countrywoman anna van der breggen. italy's chiara consonni won the sprint finish on the final ninth stage in sardinia. van vleuten finished safely in the main bunch to confirm overall victory, which underlines van der her status

showers, longer spells of rain. it means rainfall amounts going to vary quite widely from one place to the next. it will feel cooler and, at times, a little bit windier as well. not particularly cold for the next few days. this evening, low pressure still to the south—west, so the general wind flow is from a southerly direction. the band of cloud and rain that was affecting 0rkney pushes across shetland during the first part of the night, before clearing. the showers we've got elsewhere fade away. by and large, most will end up dry through the end of the night. and as we start monday morning, temperatures in rural parts could be down to single figures, most places double figures, but it does represent a bit of a drop to what we've seen on recent mornings. a fine commute, though, for most of you — dry, sunny spells quite widely, but quickly the cloud thickening up in the south—west and wales. the breeze picking up too. outbreaks of rain becoming extensive during the second half of the morning into lunchtime. thunderstorms breaking out in northern ireland and scotland, particularly to the north—east of scotland and then the north and west midlands through the afternoon, and northern england turning increasingly wet. some of that rain will be heavy, persistent and thundery. to the south and east, though, some will stay dry.

bit breezier than we saw on sunday, but that breeze still coming in from a southerly direction. 23 to 24 degrees here. temperatures in the high teens, low 20s to the north. now, as we go through monday evening, showers and thunderstorms become a bit more fragmented across the north of the country. but parts of wales, central and southern england, a band of heavier, more persistent rain will sweep its way from west to east, which on tuesday may take a while to clear east anglia and the south—east. away from that, it's sunshine and showers once again. showers heaviest, most frequent and thundery in parts of northern england, scotland and northern ireland. bit breezier through england and wales, too, on tuesday, and temperatures dropping a little bit more once again, but still high teens, low 20s — around where we should be for this stage injuly. it's as we go through wednesday and beyond, we start to see temperatures drop a bit more. low pressure becomes centred, then, to the west of norway and we bring the winds in from an increasingly north—westerly direction for a while. still going to see plenty of showers around. those most frequent close to that low pressure system in the north where temperatures will only be around 13 to 16 degrees at times. further south, temperatures still in low 20s, fewer showers, greater chance of staying
