her a point with a second half. even so, the usa could face early elimination in group e. that's because portugal are also in the hunt for a last 16 spots after goals from telma and comissao and kiko nasri saw them beat vietnam 2—0. portugal face the usa next to try and cause one of the world cup�*s greatest upsets. adam garcia, bbc news. in the men's game, atalanta striker rasmus hojlund is very much a player in demand french giants, paris saint—germain have joined the race to sign him. they've bid just over 42 million pounds for the denmark international and we understand that it will be their last and only offer for his services. hojlund is manchester united's number one target in this transfer window but they're yet to agree a deal with the italian side.

so hojlund could be leaving italy but one man who looks as though he is sticking to serie a is romelu lukaku although it's not clear where he'll be playing his football this season. the chelsea striker looked set to re sign for inter milan after spending last season there on loan but it's now emerged he's also been in talks withjuventus a move which hasn't impressed inter and reportedly led to them no longer being interested in signing the belgium star.... translation you know all we've done, he's given us great help and he's felt the love of the whole inter family. and he's felt the love of the whole interfamily. i and he's felt the love of the whole inter family.- whole inter family. i think this story _ whole inter family. i think this story deserved - whole inter family. i think this story deserved a - whole inter family. i think i this story deserved a better ending but i want to thank him for everything he gave us last year. he gave us a lot to fulfil our objective. he year. he gave us a lot to

fulfil our objective. meanwhile, liverpool manager jurgen klopp has called jordan henderson �*a legend' after his captain left the club, bringing to an end a 12 year spell at anfield. henderson has moved to saudi arabia joining al ettifaq in a deal worth £12 million plus add ons. henderson has signed until 2026 and rejoins ex liverpool captain steven gerrard, who is manager of the saudi pro league side. so a new start for henderson but it's the end for david silva. the former manchester city playmaker has announced his retirement, after suffering a serious knee injury during pre season with real sociedad who hejoined in 2020. european football's governing body uefa have confirmed barcelona will provisionally have a place in the champions league this season following an investigation into allegations they made payments to a refereeing official. the investigation was opened after it was reported that the spanish giants had paid nearly 6 million pounds to companies owned byjose maria enriquez negreira, the former vice president of spain's referees committee, between 2001 and 2018. however, no clear allegations of any specific fixed games

or referees who were influenced have emerged and barcelona have always denied any wrongdoing. to cricket and it's advantage australia after the opening day of the fifth and final ashes test at the oval in south west london. the visitors won the toss for the first time this series and put england into bat. unsurprisingly, england hit hard and hit big but not always with the desired results. two separate batting collapses meant they were all out for 283 putting australia in the early driving seat. joe wilson was at the oval. when pat cummins recovered from the shock of finally winning the toss, it was the overhead conditions here in south london, i'm sure, which influenced his decision to bowl

first there. and then if you told him england would be 283 all out, he'd probably have taken it. but at stages throughout the day's play, it couldn't have been so much better for australia. unusually, they dropped so many catches, one which will stick in the memory. alex carey, wicketkeeper when harry brook had made just five, now harry brook i guess made australia pay. he made 85 in total. he knows that he's got a balance in test matches, his desire to be positive, but he can't be reckless. just about got the balance right today. what about mitchell starc? yeah, he can be expensive, but his delivery to get rid of ben stokes was worth the ticket on its own. one thing about england, of course, they always bat quickly so they had time to have a good go at australia's first innings. just took one wicket. david warner falling to chris woakes rather than stuart broad. if england execute their bowling plans as they'd hope on day two, it could still feel like a very close test match, weather permitting. australia resume 61 for one. so that's joe wilson rounding up the day's play what about the players though, how do they feel it went? let's hear from both sides now.... think out a respectable total

there, got a few more we were probably expecting, i feel like they bowed quite well, but obviously they had a decent day in the end as well.— in the end as well. yeah it was tou~h to in the end as well. yeah it was tough to start _ in the end as well. yeah it was tough to start with, _ in the end as well. yeah it was tough to start with, the - in the end as well. yeah it was tough to start with, the ball i tough to start with, the ball was doing a fair bit i got that little bit of looking early on but they are bawling and good areas and the pictures are helping them. i areas and the pictures are helping them.— areas and the pictures are helping them. i think the way they scored — helping them. i think the way they scored quite _ helping them. i think the way they scored quite quickly, - helping them. i think the way l they scored quite quickly, 283, didnt— they scored quite quickly, 283, didn't lose a lot of time in the — didn't lose a lot of time in the day _ it was a busy day of cricketing action all around the world most notably in the caribbean as the west indies were humbled at home in their opening one day international against india. the tourists cruised to victory in bridgetown. the windies were bowled out for a meagre 114 only two batters scoring more than 20. and india chased that total down with more than 27 overs to spare and five wickets in hand. the second 0di of the 3 match series is on saturday.

a thrashing too for sri lanka as they were beaten by an innings and 222 runs in the second test with pakistan in colombo. nauman ali took 7 wickets for 70 runs as sri lanka were bowled out for 188 in their second innings. the victory gives pakistan an unassailable 2 0 lead in the 3 match series. and what a day it was for malaysian bowler syazrul idrus he finished with figures of 7 wickets for 8 runs from four overs as malaysia beat china in a world cup qualifier. china were bowled out for 23 as malaysia won by eight wickets chasing down their target inside 5 overs. south africa's paula reto is the woman to catch after the opening round of golf�*s evian championship in france. she hit a stunning round of 64 which included eight birdies to open up a 2 shot lead at the top of the leaderboard. home favourite celine boutier is one of her closest competitors she's part of a group of four golfers on 5 under par.

belgium's lotta kopecky is closing in on herfirst major cycling tour title as she continues to lead the tour de france femmes with three stages to go. kopecky finished fourth on stage five 32 seconds behind the leader ricarda bauernfeind who attacked with 36km to go and managed to race clear to win her first tour stage. kopecky keeps the yellow jersey with a lead of 43 seconds overall. there's been huge controversy at the world fencing championships after ukrainian fencer 0lga kharlan was disqualified after refusing to shake hands with russian anna smirnova. kharlan was the first fencer to face a russian or belarusian since the invasion of her homeland and went on to win 15 7 in milan. afterwards she rejected a handshake, instead offering her sabre to tap blades something that led to her disqualification from the women's sabre individual event.

and we'll finish with some good news from the world of basketball with the news that lebron james' son, bronny, has been discharged from hospital, after suffering a cardiac arrest earlier this week. the 18 —year—old is now resting at home after he collapsed during training at the university of southern california's galen centre. in a post on social media, lebron said his family is "safe and healthy" and thanked everyone for their good wishes, love and prayers. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. sunshine and prolonged heat across the uk has been very limited this july, hasn't it? and actually we had once again some contrasting weather conditions across the country. in fact, in scarborough in north yorkshire, we had just over a0 millimetres of rain, most of that falling

in the afternoon. but by contrast, once the sunshine broke through across parts of the midlands in warwickshire, we had a high of 26 celsius. we haven't seen temperatures like that since the beginning of the month. now a quiet story on friday continues, but this low pressure is set to move in from the atlantic for the start of the weekend. it'll be the third weekend we've seen an area of low sitting to the north—west. so make the most of friday's weather — dry with some sunny spells, showers should be fairly isolated. it'll feel quite pleasant with the sunshine coming through. a quiet story for many with temperatures generally at around 17 to 23 or 2a degrees, that's 75 fahrenheit. it means there's a potential for another dry day for the cricket at the oval, but there's a further chance of showers. and saturday and sunday, some of those are likely to interrupt play. and it's all because of this low that's sitting out to the north—west, the strongest of the winds to the southern flank of that

low, the heaviest and sharpest of the showers on saturday the further north and west you are. there will be a few drifting their way steadily through and with blustery winds from a westerly direction, at least they should clear relatively quickly. dodge those showers and keep some sunshine. it'll still be pleasantly warm, 22 or 23 not out of the question. now, moving out of saturday into sunday, our area of low pressure gradually drifts its way steadily eastwards, with another one waiting in the wings. it's going to close out to the month on quite an unsettled note. so we'll see a spell of showers drifting their way through north—west england over to east anglia, clouding over with further outbreaks of rain by the end of the day, pushing into northern ireland and west wales. blustery winds for this time of year, once again. they will push the showers through quite quickly. top temperatures on sunday ranging from 15 to 21 degrees. so into the weekend, no significant change to the trend ofjuly so far. sunshine and showers

breezy at times and disappointing temperatures.
