were knocked out. there were wins for norway and morocco and a shock in sydney, the two time champions germany can't afford another slip—up after losing to colombia. joe lynskey reports. new zealand will be a host nation flooded with tears tonight. full time in dunedin, new zealand exit their own party. the co—hosts are out at the group stage. a 0—0 draw took switzerland through and in auckland gave norway a chance. they faced the philippines. they were emphatic. norway had been under pressure. they won 6—0. after a slow start they go through on goal difference. norway are former champions, but for some teams in the group stage, it's a breakthrough just to be here. morocco are ranked 72 in the world, and yet they beat south korea for their first world cup win.

history made by the scoreline and by their defender. morocco�*s nabila benzema became the first player to wear a hijab at the world cup. while the last match of the day was lit up by colombia. few gave them a chance against the two time winners germany. but in the 97th minute, this. now they need another. columbia won 2—1 and sydney felt south american. the co—hosts may be out, but the party goes on. joe lynskey, bbc news. so huge disappointment for new zealand and in just a few hours�* time, fellow co—hosts australia will be doing all they can to avoid the same fate. they face olympic champions canada in melbourne in their final group match and have to win to be sure of making it into the last 16 so i think it's a massive game in that sense and we can't shy away from that. we've spoken a couple of times before about legacy and the legacy and the why about this team.

and you know, in long term legacy, it's a different type of question. but if you talk sports and results, this game is massive. yes, i hope maybe hopefully in ten or 20 years from now that we can look at other parts of a legacy, then, yes, one game. but right now we can't shy away from that. this is a crossroad moment for sure. the european champions england play their final group game on tuesday in adelaide, a point against china will see them finish top — but they'll have to do it without key midfielder keira walsh — who picked up a knee injury in the last match. it was obviously so difficult losing her, but we've got players to step into that role. you know, no one's going to replace somebody else. everyone brings something different to the squad, their own unique ability. so it will be tough, but we know that and we've got players to step in and ultimately it's a team game. and yeah, it's notjust about one individual. obviously it's heartbreaking to see her not be able to play with us, but i think everyone willjust step up as well for her.

it's like bringing in a, you know, 23—player squad that can all be capable of stepping up in these moments. and we know that as a team, the players believe in that, the staff believe. and i hope that everybody else in the outside believes that. and yeah, it's sad to see someone not be able to play, but it's a fantastic opportunity for somebody else to step up, like you say. and it's, you know, experience for whoever does step in. and, you know, it's like i said, it's a team game and we have to see what sarina puts out there, but everyone�*s capable of stepping in. you know, the resilient side of this team is something special. i think you saw it last year. you saw it this year. and, you know, there's going to be ups and downs. there's going to be tough moments. and that's the nature of a world cup tournament. there's you know, teams around us are getting better and better. we're going to have more chances against us, but we'd hope for that. you know, it's great for the game to see other teams rising and and doing so well. we've played to really difficult oppositions we've played two really difficult oppositions and going on to our third,

so we're going to get tested and that's how we deal with it is the resilient side of it that we're going to take on into the next however many games. england's cricketers will need to take all ten australian wickets on the final day for victory in the final test at the oval — that would level the series. australia, who have already retained the ashes are chasing 384. they made a strong start before rain forced an early close, on a day that started with a great reception for stuart broad; the england bowler who will retire at the end of this test. heres�* our sports correspondentjoe wilson well the rain clouds which have dogged this series, which so frustrated england at old trafford here at the oval, well, they really foiled australia because they were going so well in their second innings. now we had the emotional response for stuart broad at the start of the day, a guard of honourfrom the australian players. lots of england supporters came wearing stuart broad style headbands, but when it came to bowling, neither broad nor anderson nor any of the englishmen really could make much of an impression. now usman khawaja has had a really good series, david warner less so,

and he knows maybe this is his last chance to prolong his australian career for his grand finale. looking at the state of the match, thinking about the state of the weather, could australia come here on the fifth day and chase down a record target to win? well, now, wouldn't that be a grand ending? so australia requiring another 249 to win — one of the england coaches, marcus trescothick says they have the belief that they can take the ten wickets they need yeah, i don't see why not. i think we've seen over the course of this game that the wickets have fallen at different times. the new ball has definitely been the best time to bat. it's been most free flowing and easiest to score. but you know, we've got to try and break that partnership and get on a bit of a roll. we've got, well, 250 runs in the bank still. there's still a long way to go. and it's kind of puts the game in an interesting predicament, doesn't it? for more for australia's point of view, you know, did they go for a victory and or

just sort of sit out and see what happens? but most importantly, hopefully the rain stays away and we can get the cricket out there and we can get the result that everybody wants. it's now eight formula one wins in a row for max verstappen — his complete dominance continuing at the belgian grand prix. the defending world champion started in sixth — but made his way through the field to extend his championship lead to 125 points with ten races remaining. verstappen�*s team—mate sergio perez was a distant second — while ferrari's charles leclerc was third. at the netball world cup, the preliminary stage has come to a close, defending champions new zealand made it three wins from three to coast into the next phase of the tournament as have australia — who look like they could be the team to beat. the ii—time champions thrashed fiji 101—32 in theirfinal match to comfortably finish top of pool a. jamaica have a100% record too — as they beat the hosts south africa in their final pool match — winning 67—49 in cape town. and england are the fourth

and final team with a perfect record, they beat scotland 62—37 to finish top of pool b. despite it looking like the usual suspects for the title , former england captain ama agbeze says the so—called smaller nations are closing the gap there's a big disparity in terms of sports. australia, england, new zealand and have a lot of money compared to are other teams who don't have those resources were given them a run for their money. so, jamaica don't necessarily have that financial backing or commercial sponsors but they are up there and uganda gave new zealand a good shot in their game yesterday so it is their game yesterday so it is the time where i think lesser ranked nations are given the higher ranked teams in a run for their money. let's have a quick look at some of the other headlines. demi vollering has won the tour de france femmes. the dutch rider came second in the eighth and final

stage, a time trial, and that was enough to keep hold of the yellow jersey, winning the tour by over three minutes sarah sjostrom has broken one of michael phelps records, with victory in the 50metre freestyle. it was the swedes 21st individual world medal to overtake the american�*s tally. and iga swiatek thrashed laura siegemund to win the poland open in front of her home fans. swiatek won 6—0, 6—1 injust over an hour. in germany, alexander zverev also got to celebrate with home support — after he won the hamburg open. celine boutier picked the perfect place to win herfirst major. beginning the day with a three shot lead — the french player extended that advantage to six shots to win the evian championship in front of her home fans. she's the first french winner at the evian resort. the final major of the year is two weeks away, the women's open, just outside london.

it has been my biggest dream ever since i started watching golf. this tournament has always been special to me, even watching as a teenager and to be able to hold this trophy is unbelievable. and if you have a fear of heights, probably best to look away now. this is estonian daredevil jaan roose setting a new world record for the longest led—lit, single—building slackline walk — which took place at the iconic katara towers in qatar. roose battled high winds to keep his balance and covered a distance of more then 150 metres — 185—metres above the ground, the line he was walking on was just 2.5 centimetres wide. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye.

hello. july has been a very wet month across the uk. and as we look towards the very end of the month, and, indeed, into the start of the new one, well, there's more rain on the way. spells of wind and rain this week, rather cool as well. now, looking back at the rainfall we've had so far, these figures are valid up to 10am on sunday. can see that in preston 285% of the averagejuly rainfall. that means preston has had close to three times the rainfall we would expect in a typicaljuly. and those figures got a further top up as sunday went on because we saw a band of heavy rain pushing northwards and eastwards in association with this frontal system still with us for monday morning. all tied in with this area of low pressure, which will be wobbling its way eastwards through the day. so a band of rain pushing northwards across scotland, some sunshine, at least for a time in the north of scotland, and then to the south of that, for northern ireland, for england and wales, large amounts of clouds and mistand murk, some splashes of rain and, actually, some really heavy

and persistent rain across the channel islands that mayjust graze into southern counties of england at times. temperatures 17—21 degrees in most places. so at the oval for the crickets, i think we are going to see some showers at times. i'm hopeful of some lengthy dry spells as well to allow some play to take place. and then as we move through monday nights, well, quite a mishmash of weather. some areas of clouds, a bit of mist and murk, some splashes of rain. we mayjust see a few more clear spells working into the mix by the end of the night, temperatures of 12 or 13 or 14 degrees. now, tuesday looks set to be one of the drier days of the week. i can't promise it's going to be completely dry. there'll still be some bits and pieces of rain, some showers around. but we should at least get to see some spells of sunshine and some decent dry gaps between the showers. rain, though, you'll notice, returning to the far south west of england later in the day. and temperatures at best 17—21 degrees, not particularly impressive for the first day of august. and then for wednesday, well,

this deep area of low pressure pushes eastwards. this is a very autumnal looking weather chart. there will be some really strong winds, particularly on the southern flank of this low around the south west of england, also through the channel islands can be very windy indeed. some outbreaks of rain, and then it looks like staying decidedly cool towards the end of the week.
