better news on the cricket, though — ashes advantage for australia, who edge the first day of the final test. a new runner in the race to sign rasmus. paris st germain hunting hojlund, submitting a take it or leave it bid for the atalanta star striker. hello and thanks for joining us on our show. we begin at the women's world cup, where the first major shock of the tournament has occurred. co—hosts australia, ranked 10th in the world, were considered competition dark horses, but now might not even get out of the group. that's after they were beaten by nigeria, a team ranked 30 places below them. adam cottier ranks up the action, on a day

to remember for african football. for nigeria's ao—year—old captain, onome ebi, playing in her sixth world cup, elation, tears ofjoy for the nigeria team, after a blockbuster win in brisbane, in a match which saw them fall behind, when emily van egmond steered australian in sight of the last 16. but uchenna kanu drew nigeria level, and playing a side ranked 30 places higher, this header made it 2—1 to the african nation. osinachi ohale then scored, after a mix—up, as nigeria exposed australia's lack of potency, with the matildas�* main striker sam kerr absent through injury. the late effort from alanna kennedy wasn't enough and after this 3—2 loss, australia face going out, if they don't beat canada next. the netherlands are also without their star forward, with vivianne miedema missing through injury. looking for inspiration elsewhere, they rose to the challenge against the united states, going into the lead, throuthill roord, against the defending champions.

the usa's head coach admitted his side lacked control against a side they beat in the 2019 world cup final, but captain lindsey horan rescued a point, with a second—half header. even so, the us could face early elimination in group b, because portugal are also in the hunt for a last 16 spot after goals from encarnacao and nazareth saw them beat vietnam, 2—0. portugal face the usa next to try and cause one of the world cup�*s greatest upsets. adam cottier, bbc news. in the men's game, atalanta striker rasmus hojlund, very much a player in demand. french side paris st germain havejoined the race to sign him. they've bid just over £112 million for the denmark international, and we understand it will be their last and only offerfor his services. hojlund is manchester united's number one target in this transfer window but they are 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 lukaku, though it's not really clear where he will be playing his football this season. the chelsea striker looked set to re—sign for inter milan after spending the last season there on loan but it's now emerged he has been in talks withjuventus, which has not impressed inter, and apparently led to the no longer being interested in signing the belgian star. translation: you know| everything we have done, the club and me, to try and sign him. he has given us a great help and he has felt the love of the whole inter family, especially of our fans, which are the most important thing. i think the story deserved a better ending, but i want to thank him for everything he gave us last year. when he was recovered from injury, 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, ringing to an end

a 12—year spell at anfield. he has moved to saudi arabia joining al—ettifaq in a deal worth £12 million plus add—ons. henderson 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 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 the spanish giants had paid nearly £6 million to companies owned byjose—maria enriques negrera, the former vice president of spain's referees

committee, between 2001—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 now, and 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 in to bat. unsurprisingly, england hit hard and big but not always to 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'd told him england would be 283 all out, he'd probably have taken it, but at stages throughout the day's play, it could have been so much better for australia. unusually, they dropped so many catches, one that will stick in the memory, alex carey, wicketkeeper, when harry brook had madejust five.

now, harry brook, i guess, made australia pay. he made 85 in total. he knows he has two balance in test matches his desire to be positive, but he can't be reckless. just about got the balance right today. a word about mitchell starc. yes, 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 and their first innings. just 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—1. how about the players, how do they feel it all went? i think we got a respectable total there, we got a few more than we were

probably expecting. i feel like they bowled quite well and they obviously had a decent day in the end as well. what about conditions this morning, did you feel you were in for a big test? yes, it was tough to start with. the ball was doing a fair bit. obviously i got that little bit of luck early on, which helped, but no, they are bowling in good areas and the pitch is helping. i think the way england play, they score quite quickly, so to get ten wickets for 283, albeit didn't lose a lot of time in the game, so i think being 1—60 at the end of the day also helps. a busy day of cricketing action all around the world, most notably in the caribbean, as the west indies were humbled at home and opening one day international against india. the tourists cruised to victory in bridgetown and the windies were bowled out for a meagre 114 runs. only two batters scoring more than 20. india chasing down that total with more than 27 overs to spare and five wickets in hand. the second 0di of the three—match series is on saturday.

a thrashing, too, for sri lanka, beaten by an innings and 222 runs in the second test with pakistan in colombo. ali taking 7—17, sri lanka bowled out for 188 in their second innings. the victory gives pakistan an unassailable 2—0 lead in the three—match series. china bowled out for 23 as malaysia won by eight wickets, chasing down their target inside five overs. to golf, and south africa's paula reto is the woman to catch after the opening round of the evian championship in france. she hit a stunning round of 64, which included eight birdies to open up a two—shot lead at the top of the leaderboard. home favourite celine gauthier is one of her closest competitors, part of a group of four golfers on 5—under par.

cycling, and belgian�*s lotte kopecky is closing in on her first major cycling tour title, as she continues to lead the tour de france femmes with three stages to go. she finished fourth on stage 5, 32 seconds behind the leader ricarda who attacked with 36 kilometres to go. managed to race clear to win her first tour stage. kopecky keeps the yellow jersey with a lead of 43 seconds overall. there has been huge controversy at the world fencing championships after ukrainian fencer 0lga kharlan was disqualified after refusing to hands with her russian opponent. she was the first fencer to face a russian or belarussian since the invasion of her homeland and went on to win 15—7 in milan. afterwards, she rejected a handshake, instead to her disqualification from the women's savour

to her disqualification from the women's sabre individual event. we will finish with some good news from the world of basketball. with the news that lebron james�*s 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 university of southern california's game. in a post on social media, his family said he is safe and healthy and thanked everyone for their good wishes. that is all your sport for now. from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the team, bye— bye. hello, there. sunshine and prolonged heat across the uk has been very limited thisjuly, 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 on 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 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.
