hello there. i'm olly foster. here's what's coming up for you on sportsday... brian harman beats the weather and the rest of the field to become open champion at hoylake. a wash—out out on the final day of the fourth test means australia keep hold of the ashes. and this is what a point means forjamaica at the world cup. we'll have the latest from the tournament. hello there, welcome along. let's start with the golf, because brian harman is the toast of hoylake after becoming the new open champion. the 36—year—old american finished six shots clear of the field at hoylake to claim his first major title. it was his first tournament win in six years.
12:46 am
ben croucher sent us this from the royal liverpool course. the sunday at the open can provide tension and drama. it can do funny things to the best golfers in the world, but here in the driving rain at hoylake, brian harman reduced any hopes of a battle for the claretjug to a damp squib. and in truth, he won't mind one bit. he did most of the damage on friday, surging clear to a lead that he was never headed. on sunday, after two bogeys saw his lead reduced to three, the american produced a nerveless display from tee to green. the only question, not how he would win but by how much. jon rahm, jason day, tom kim and sepp straka ended on seven under par. but that merely afforded harmon the luxury of strolling down the 18th, able to enjoy the adulation from soggy but supportive stands. he closed with a comfortable par, a final round of 70 and a six—shot victory. at 36 years old, he said it was better late than never
12:47 am
and that he couldn't be happier. but from hoylake, we saw a golfer and a game in perfect harmony. well, harman�*s lead in that final round never dropped below three strokes despite bogeys on the second and fifth holes, the latter coming after he drove his ball into a bush, seeing him drop to ten under. i'm very aware of my own emotions, and i knew at some point that i would drop some shots. you know, it was a really difficult day out today, and i haven't typically been a very good rain player, so i was nervous starting the day, so to make those two birdies on six and seven today was really good. australia's cricketers have retained the ashes. the final day of the fourth test was a complete wash—out at old trafford, which means that england cannot win the series. after losing the first two tests, they were attempting to become the first england team to come from 2—0 down to win an ashes series. and they were in a really strong position to level it, australia trailing by 61 runs
12:48 am
with only five wickets in hand. but the weather put paid to any hopes that england had — a real anti—climax after the hosts had put up such a fight. the final test starts on thursday at the oval. yeah, it feels a bit weird. yeah, it's really nice to retain it. obviously not in the circumstances we would have liked. but, yeah, you kind of look back at the last series and the first two games here and to get ourselves into this position, yeah, albeit the rain might have helped us out, but great result. i think we look at the creek that— i think we look at the creek that was_ i think we look at the creek that was played. score 570, five — that was played. score 570, five and _ that was played. score 570, five and a _ that was played. score 570, five and a half runs and over. we have _ five and a half runs and over. we have australia five down and then _ we have australia five down and then get — we have australia five down and then get three hours played after— then get three hours played after that. then get three hours played afterthat. i then get three hours played after that. i think regardless of what _ after that. i think regardless of what we did, we would've still— of what we did, we would've still ended up in the same position _ and sometimes weather just gets the better of you. and it's unfortunate. you know, we could moan about it, but itjust
12:49 am
is what it is, and it'sjust unfortunate, obviously, after the cricket that we did play, we find ourselves here drawing this game when we felt we were in a great position to be able to win it. let's bring you right up to date with the latest games at the women's world cup in australia and new zealand, jamaica held france to a goalless draw — that's the reggae girlz�* best result in the tournament. the runners—up four years ago, the netherlands, beat portugal and sweden left it late in their win over south africa. patrick gearey reports. very much wellington weather. in new zealand, sweden — officially the world's third best team — came into this world cup through a storm and a scare... ..courtesy of south africa, who so surprised the swedish keeper that she queued up hilda magaia, who both scored and netted. sweden were in a bigger tangle, though. for them, what relief when frida rolfo squeezed in a equaliser, the first time in this tournament that both teams had scored. still, south africa were headed for a precious
12:50 am
point until the 90th minute, when amanda ilestedt rose above the rest. with that, sweden were home, if not dry. further south from wellington to dunedin, where portugal's first world cup appearance was low—key, beaten by a flying dutchwoman. stefanie van der gragt�*s header enough to secure victory for the netherlands. france have recently found peace. gone are the rows and rancour, replaced by a new spirit and a new manager. not enough, though, to beatjamaica. they came as close as anyone, but despite having their star khadija shaw sent off late on, jamaica picked up theirfirst ever world cup point. for france, it seems you can have too much calm. patrick gearey, bbc news. let's get some reaction to that historic point forjamaica, after that goalless draw against france. it's massive for us. over the past few weeks, well,
12:51 am
past year, we faced a lot of stuff, and together as a team, we knew we had stuck together behind the scenes and we wanted to come here and cause upsets and get what we deserve out of the game. we're good team ourselves and a lot of people put us down and say, you know, we haven't got a chance of getting out of the group, we don't have this, we don't have that, but what i do know is that group of players that are in there have a lot of togetherness and we are passionate about this tournament. translation: it was a frustrating match i because we had more than one chance to score. i think in the first half, we missed too many chances. we lacked the technical accuracy to be able to put their team in more difficulty. they were very compact and very aggressive. but we got a point. we will have to win the other two matches. three more games on monday. italy take on argentina and brazilface panama, but all eyes will be on the second encounter of the day, where two—time champions germany take on tournament debutants morocco. mani djazmi is in melbourne for us. germany are women's world cup

aristocracy. they've been to every tournament, they've won it twice, been in three finals, but their heyday was at the turn of the century, when they dominated world in european football. then they were overtaken by other countries, until last year, when they reach the final of the european championship. that match had a bigger tv audience than any of the men's games at the qatar world cup in those glory field days, martina played 125 times and reached the very first world cups semifinals. now, she is the coach. translation: ~ ., ., ., is the coach. translation: ., ., ., ., translation: we are aware of the responsibility _ translation: we are aware of the responsibility we _ translation: we are aware of the responsibility we carry. - translation: we are aware of the responsibility we carry. we | the responsibility we carry. we want _ the responsibility we carry. we want to— the responsibility we carry. we want to play the game to our best— want to play the game to our best quality, and that is what i can— best quality, and that is what i can promise. that is what we are going _ i can promise. that is what we are going to go and give. we want— are going to go and give. we wantto— are going to go and give. we want to take the people with us. want to take the people with us we — want to take the people with us. we want to bring a motion to their— us. we want to bring a motion to their lives. we want to be part— to their lives. we want to be part of bring happiness to their_ part of bring happiness to their lives, especially in times_ their lives, especially in times were not everything is as rosie~ — times were not everything is as rosie. ., ., ~ ., ._

12:54 am
hamilton's race. mclaren continued their upward trend with a second consecutive podium for doris. an increasingly burst ridiculous and fell further behind. as they have all season, red bull had pace to burn —— increasingly frustrated hamilton. max verstappen baited a record 12 wins in a row for the austrian outfit as their utter domination shows no signs of stopping. —— made it a record. dan ogunshakin, bbc news. for the team, 12 wins in a row is just incredible. what we've been going through the last few years, unbelievable, and i hope we can keep this momentum going for a long time and to work with the whole team is always enjoyable. always wanting to do better, but a day like today is just perfect. defending champion jonas vingegaard has won the tour de france,
12:55 am
after finishing the final, largely processional stage in paris. the dane finished seven and a half minutes ahead of second—placed tadej pogacar. british twin brothers adam and simon yates were third and fourth place overall. vingegaard has confirmed that he'll race in next month's vuelta a espana, the final grand tour of the year. as the men finished the tour, the eight—stage tour de france femmes got going in clermont ferrand. belgian lotte kopecky broke away to win the first stage. pre—race favourites annamiek van vleuten and demi vollering finished in the leading group, 43 seconds behind. you can get a lot more on all our stories on the bbc sport app our stories on the bbc sport app or the website, but from me, olly foster, and the rest of the bbc sportsday team, that is it for now. hello there. the full uk forecast in a moment — but first of all,
12:56 am
the extreme heat continues to affect parts of the mediterranean. and later on monday, we might actually see one of europe's highest ever temperatures — 48 celsius possible to the southwest of catania. now, the significance of that is the all—time european record currently stands at 118.8, so we'll be very, very close to that. on sunday, though, here in the uk, it was a very wet day across central portions of the uk. we have 91 millimetres of rainfall in preston, three—and—a—half inches — that's about a month's worth. these figures only go up to saturday, but even at that stage, there were a number of places that were getting close to double the july average rainfall. our weather pattern, then, is a bit stuck at the moment, and it was this weather frnt that kind of rained off the cricket in greater manchester. the front itself is starting to push its way southwards, so the rain is going to eventually swing across wales, into the midlands and parts of east anglia, with the skies clearing behind. now for scotland, northern england, northern ireland, with those clearer skies,
12:57 am
temperatures get down into single figures, so it'll be quite chilly air. but underneath the front into the south, it's a relatively mild start to the day for monday. cloudy, though, with further rain — east anglia, south midlands, southern counties of england. the rain then pulls away to leave us with a day of sunny spells and showers. and, ok, the showers shouldn't last too long, there'll be large portions of the day that stay entirely dry. our temperatures a little bit below average for the time of year, but still feeling ok in thejuly sunshine. now, i think there should be a bit more of that sunshine to look forward to across england and wales, with not many showers here for tuesday. further north, though, for scotland and for northern ireland, there will be quite a few downpours developing through tuesday afternoon, so another fairly unsettled day. now, heading into wednesday and thursday, another area of low pressure will form in the atlantic and move towards our shores, so we have more rain on the cards. now wednesday, it might well be to the northeast of the uk that it stays largely dry with some sunshine. but certainly further west, the cloud will gather, outbreaks of rain will swing into northern ireland, and probably reach
12:58 am
western parts of england, wales and scotland. certainly through wednesday night, it turns wet for most of us, with the rain still hanging around for thursday. might start to clear for western areas with, again, the weather brightening up. but on the whole, temperatures staying below average. the weather staying unsettled.
