by barbora strycova and hsieh su—wei after they beat storm hunter and elise mertens 7-5 6-4. it's the second time the pair have won the title — emulating their 2019 success, although they were unseeded this time due to them only returning to the tour this april. strycova has been away from the game for a year and a half after having a baby. onto cricket and they gave it a very good go, but england's women now can't win the ashes. they lost their penultimate match — which means the holders australia have an unassailable lead in the multi—format series. the aussies won byjust 3 runs in southampton after setting england what would have been a record breaking run chase of 283, elyse perry top scoring on 91. in reply — england went for it — tammy beaumont making 60 and then nat sciver—brunt hitting 111 off 99 balls, but they fell just short. the points—based multi format series, which is now 8—6 in australia's favour, concludes at taunton on tuesday.

with just a few days until the open golf championship, rory mcilroy has won the key warm up event — the scottish open. but it was a dramatic victory, because after leading the tournament going into the final round mcilroy looked like he'd blown it with local favourite robert macintyre ahead until mcilroy birdied the last two holes to steal the win by a shot on 15 under par — perfect preparation for the open which starts on thursday at hoylake. i'm going to have to reset, those bit harder after the victory to get this idea had and the new week starting fresh and the new week starting fresh and point to this tonight, when the play, five, 600 events in my career in the event can win 10% of them, that's a good return. we lose a lot more than we win this game and every time you do win, you have to enjoy it. you do win, you have to en'oy it. ., , you do win, you have to en'oy it. . , ., ., , ,

podium place. stage fifteen was won by wout poels by more than two minutes. it was the dutchman's first tour de france stage victory. vingegaard and pogarcer crossed the line together after a brief battle on the final climb. the race resumes on tuesday after a rest day. ireland will have to do without their captain jonny sexton for all their world cup warm—up matches after he was banned for misconduct. the fly half was given a 3 game ban for�* confrontational and aggressive behaviour�* towards match officials following his leinster side's european cup final defeat back in may. it means sexton can't play in the fixtures against italy, england and samoa, but he will be available for ireland's world cup opener against romania on the 9th september. sexton is planning to retire after this world cup. britain's wheelchair racer — hannah cockroft has won a 14th world title — continuing her dominance in the 800m.

she clocked one minute 51.57 seconds — a para athletics world championships record. but it was still over 6 seconds slower than her own world record time. gb are 5th in the medal table with 8 golds so far in paris. china leads with 14 golds. well, these championships in paris are a bit of a warm—up for the paralympics which take place in the same city in 13 months time. and although the crowds have been better there than at the last worlds in dubai, the president of the international paralympic committee admits there's work to do to advance the paralympic movement in france. i think we need a lot of promotion in the lead up to the games. remember every single host of the games in the lead up we need to do a lot of promotion, events ticket sales, even probably london which is still the benchmark. compared to the awareness prior to the games and after the games,

it was a monumental change. this is what we want to see here. we want to start from a different position. so we are doing a lot with broadcasters here, the meteor but also with the french paralympic committee and the organising committee. did you think crowds would be bigger? you mention london 2012 but also in 2017 with the role athletics, they were selling out crowds. there have been crowds here but not sell—outs. no, london 2017 was five years after the games. if we had the same road to vengeance here five years from the paralympic games in france next year i assume you would have similar crowds as we had in london 2017. so far this is the second biggest championship, paralympic to be shipped from a crowd perspective. only after the 2017 but back in two by two years ago, four years ago, and dill hot in 2015. it is a different event. we do not have the same global

organisers, finances to support a long—term or promotional strategy so we are happy where we are, but we are also conscious that we need to do more to promote games next year. but it is a completely different strategy and environment. that's it for sportsday. there's much more on our website. goodbye. hello. our spell of fairly unsettled sort of mid—july weather continues. temperatures not doing great for the time of year, but we will have some sunshine around over the next couple of days. showers as we head through the week at times, temperatures a little below average for some of us. but the driest weather will be found towards the south—east because we're closer to high pressure sitting across europe at the moment. but low pressure across

scandinavia drifts its way north—east with fewer icebergs on the map on monday, certainly compared to what we've seen through the weekend. so not as breezy first thing monday morning. few showers from the word go for western parts of england and wales as they drift eastwards. could be the odd thunderstorm, the odd sharp one in the east during the afternoon. scotland will see the cloud breaking up to leave sunny spells and a few scattered showers. and just the odd shower for northern ireland, too. temperatures somewhere between about 14 to 22 degrees north to south. and most of those showers do tend to ease away later in the afternoon from the west. so some late sunshine for many of us. overnight, though, the cloud increases from the west as this area of rain moves in to northern ireland, to wales, perhaps by the early hours of tuesday morning. ahead of that, quite a cool fresh night, particularly across parts of scotland. temperatures down into mid single figures in places. but through the day on tuesday, i think the weather will be dominated by this feature, slowly moving in from the atlantic, bringing that

cloud and rain earlier on to parts of northern ireland and wales. but it'll drift into northern and western england, southern scotland where it could be quite heavy through the day. to the north of that sunny spells and a few scattered showers, but across south—east england and east anglia, it could well stay dry with some sunshine lasting through the day. so temperatures here up to about 24 degrees, whereas if you stuck under the rain, typically about 16 or 17. now looking towards the middle part of the week in that area of low pressure clears to the east. could be a bit of rain in the south—east overnight into wednesday. wednesday, we're left with the airflow once again coming from west or north—westerly direction. not a particularly warm direction, but it should bring some sunshine and just a few showers. the showers for parts of eastern england and eastern scotland could be quite sharp. so perhaps the odd rumble of thunder probably more likely to stay dry for the likes of wales, northern ireland, south—west england too — temperatures 16 to 23. so up a little bit by this stage in the middle of the week and then towards the end of the week it's staying unsettled. further spells of rain,

there will be some sunshine thursday into friday, but looking fairly unsettled as we head towards the weekend. not particularly warm for the middle ofjuly. bye for now.
