tampa sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. the heavens open at the open — but brian harman keeps his cool. england's hopes washed away... rain all day in manchester sees the 4th test abandoned — and australia retaining the ashes. and a famous point forjamaica — the first ever at a women's world cup — their coach calls it their "the number one result" in the country's football history. also coming up on sportsday: it's seven in a row for verstappen — but nothing lucky about his dominant display to win in hungary. but nothing lucky about his dominant and but nothing lucky about his dominant more incredii challenge and more incredible drama in the challenge cup is the second semi settled by a golden point.
7:32 pm
hello there and welcome along to the programme. it's been a wet, wild and windy open at royal liverpool — but that was never going to dampen the spirits of brian harman. the american, who led coming into the weekend, held his nerve to claim victory by six shots. the challenge of the chasing pack fell away on the final round — allowing harman, a man who's flown relatively under the radar on the pga tour, to hole out and claim a first major championship. ben croucher has been following it all for us at hoylake and joins me now. ben — a superb victory for harman. gavin, as a golfer in a major, you have to solve a riddle. you have to battle the elements and ride the wind. you have tojuggle battle the elements and ride the wind. you have to juggle your emotions and conquer your opponents. and on sunday at a major championship at an open championship
7:33 pm
is meant to be full of stress and struggle but for rupp brian harman today, it was simply a stroll. he did most of the damage on friday, surging into a lead from which he was never headed. he saw his five—shot lead whittled down to just three after a couple of early bogeys but responded like a major champion, surging clear in this driving rain. a huge birdie on m effectively ended the hopes of the challenges. the american left—hander had time to soak up the adulation on the 18th and finished with an awkward part but let's face it, he was never going to miss it. a par at the last, he finished on 13 under parfor a six—shot victory. only his third professional win and his first major title. brian harman is the champion golfer of the yearfor title. brian harman is the champion golfer of the year for 2023. what a day. we have net alongside us. thank

7:38 pm
weather one. in the final day, just glimpses of an opportunity for play. a brake in the weather around noon and at one stage we were going to start playing at one o'clock but then the rain came back and never left. i think the ground staff did all they could but play was ultimately impossible. on days like this, there are always reflection. should test match days in sunnier times be extended to make sure all the overs are bowled? amateur australia right now would be thinking about times when rain came to england's rescue. england were excellent, the pass back passages of play and were ultimately serious defining but ben stokes, it was all part of the journey. we will go to the oval with the fifth and final test where australia could win the series in england out right. as
7:39 pm
deeply significant for them and england could square the series and that must be significant for them. there we are, looking around for something to feel optimistic about although we are ankle—deep in frustration. disappointment for england. let's get reaction from the captains now. feels a bit weird. we would have liked better circumstances but you look back at the last series in the first few games and the rank of herbs that a good result. i think we look at the cricket that was played. we win the toss and bowl, bolster it out of 320. score 570 in five and a half runs an over. we have australia five down. and then we get a free back i was play after that. i think, regardless of what we did, we would have still ended up in the same position. and sometimes, the weatherjust gets the better of you. we could moan about it,
7:40 pm
but itjust is what it is. it's just unfortunate, obviously, after the crickets that we did play, find ourselves here drawing this game, when we felt we were in a great position to be able to win it. let's turn our attentions then to the women's world cup which is taking place in australia and new zealand. three games today, and a famous first ever world cup point forjamaica, as they drew with france. world cup debutants portugal suffered a defeat to the netherlands in dunedin whilst sweden left it late to beat south africa. patrick gearey rounds up the action. very much wellington weather. in new zealand, sweden officially the third best team came into this world cup through a storm and a scare. courtesy of south africa who were so surprised the swedish keeper that both scored and netted. sweden were in a bigger tangle though so for them what relief when free desk
7:41 pm
reason equaliser. for the first time in a tournament that both teams scored. they were heading for a precious point until the 90th minute when one rose above the rest. with that, sweden were home if not dry. further south from wellington where portugal's first world cup appearance was low—key. beaten by a flying dutch woman. the header was enough to secure victory for the netherlands. france have recently found peace gone and replaced by a new spirit and new manager. not enough to beatjamaica. one person injamaica came close as anyone but despite having someone sent off later on, they picked up theirfirst world point. for france, it seems you can have too much calm. patrick gearey reporting. lets get some reaction then, to that historic point forjamaica with that goalless draw against france...
7:42 pm
it's massive for us. over the past few weeks all year we faced quite a lot of stuff. and together as a team, we knew we'd stuck together behind the scenes and wanted to come here and cause upsets and get what we deserved at the game. we are a good team ourselves and a lot of people put us down and say we don't have a chance but what i do know is that group of players in their havoc lot of togetherness and we are passionate about the tournament. translation: in passionate about the tournament. translation:— translation: in the first half we missed too many _ translation: in the first half we missed too many chances - translation: in the first half we missed too many chances and - translation: in the first half we i missed too many chances and lacked the technical accuracy to put the team _ the technical accuracy to put the team in— the technical accuracy to put the team in more difficulty. they were very compact and aggressive. but we -ot a very compact and aggressive. but we got a point _ very compact and aggressive. but we got a point. we will have to win the other— got a point. we will have to win the other two— got a point. we will have to win the other two matches. some of the england squad were back in training today — after their opening victory over haiti yesterday. just a light session at their training base for those that didn't start the match as they begin preparations for that huge game in group d against denmark on friday. earlier, my colleague hugh ferris caught up with former
7:43 pm
lionness faye white to get her views on that narrow 1—0 win. i think it was slightly below par game but at this phase, the first game but at this phase, the first game in the tournament for them, it's important to get their free points. i think katie were a strong physical counterattacking and good technique to, well organised and a bit of a surprise to me, i dive into the team because they would have done their research. a good three points in the end but not a great performance. but points in the end but not a great performance-— points in the end but not a great erformance. �* , , , , performance. but surely this is the roduct of performance. but surely this is the product of heightened _ performance. but surely this is the l product of heightened expectations? their european champions and one of the real contenders for this competition so everyone thinks that whoever is against, it will end up in some sort of victory? i whoever is against, it will end up in some sort of victory?— in some sort of victory? i think that's what _ in some sort of victory? i think that's what comes _ in some sort of victory? i think that's what comes of _ in some sort of victory? i think that's what comes of being - in some sort of victory? i think - that's what comes of being european champions and some of the results we saw in the us last year, the eight nil against norway, that was after winning one there against austria which again wasn't a great
7:44 pm
performance. you never know what can happen and they got always the final. but its expectation, probably the pressure that in a way they have been hoping for an wanting because you want to become champions and if you want to become champions and if you will become world champions, you have to get used to that. i you will become world champions, you have to get used to that.— have to get used to that. i know in the early stage _ have to get used to that. i know in the early stage of— have to get used to that. i know in the early stage of the _ have to get used to that. i know in the early stage of the competition | the early stage of the competition and haven't seen of one player but no one has really sent a message or put their stamp on things. even america beating vietnam three now it is not necessarily the score you'd expect from the world champion. his. expect from the world champion. no, i would expect from the world champion. no, i would have — expect from the world champion. iifr, i would have expected a few more goals because america are in their season at the moment so should have hit the ground running but we've got brazil, germany still to play and see what they're like. but i think is quite open. america's the favourites and so are england. but you can't discount sweden or maybe even canada. germany, always there. it is competitive and anyone who gets into that quarterfinal phase, it could be game on and believe they
7:45 pm

7:46 pm
and italian international midfielder sandro tonali. and everton have signed arnaut danjuma on a season—long loan from spanish side villarreal. the netherlands forward agreed terms with the club injanuary, but he ended upjoining tottenham, before returning to spain at the end of the season. a lot of late drama to bring you in rugby league men challenge cup is hull kr secure their stop spot in the final. their win over wigan means they have a chance to go for glory next month. two sides with differing histories. all eyes on the prize. wigan have won the
7:47 pm
competition 20 times and hull kr just once. but when kr was presented with possession, they seized their opportunity, knocking the ball out wide who slid over in the corner. the field was quick to make amends and driving at the rovers line are making most of conditions to score. wigan in front of the breaks, their opposition somewhat deflated but despair soon turned to hope. on the pitch for 52 seconds before this tackle gave the referee a decision to make. matt pete's face telling the story as wigan were down to 12 for the second cup game on a roll. a penalty increased their lead. but after a superb pass, a perfectly executed kick brought the game level. with both sides together, the matter into a garden point and as it did last week, schneider stepped up to the mark.
