they'll face the runners—up from england's group which concludes on tuesday. a goaless draw with the republic of ireland was enough for nigeria to also make it through, but canada are out — eliminated at the group stage for the first time since 2011. japan showed why they're among the favourites by thrashing spain 4—0 to finish top of group c. the 2011 champions were 3—0 up at half—time, with two goals from hinata miyazawa. substitute mina tanaka rounded off the scoring in the second half. japan will stay in wellington where they'll play norway in the last—16 on saturday. despite the heavy defeat, spain still make it through as runners up — they'll play switzerland in the last 16. here's how group c finishes. zambia end up third after theirfirst ever women's world cup win, a 3—1victory against costa rica.

england will face china in their final group game tomorrow knowing a point or better will see them top group d. here's manager sarina wiegman. it's a different game tomorrow then we had against denmark. i think we had moments in both games that we played really well and then we had moments that we lost the ball a little bit too much where they could counterattack. i think that's one thing we need to keep the patients, keep the ball going, keep the passing and good place and try to create chances and score goals. this is what we always want. that's actually the main thing i think, to keep control of the game as much as possible because sometimes that is really hard. australia have already retained the ashes, but they're looking to win the series outright in england for the first time since 2001. they're chasing an unlikely 384 for victory. they resumed on 135 without loss and lost three wickets in the first hour of the morning session — chris woakes taking two of them. but rain has once again

disrupted things — play has been stopped, with australia on 238—3 needing 146 more runs to win. as well as being the final day of the ashes series, it's also the final day of england bowler stuart broad's career. his dad chris is also a former england player — and has been talking about his son's decision to announce his retirement on saturday, before the conclusion of the series. it's entirely his thinking. i haven't gone into why you decided to do it in the middle of test match but actually, yesterday, it gave the cricketing public of the uk and australia as well to give him a really good sendoff. and it was emotional yesterday morning, him walking out to bat and then him walking out to bat and then him walking out to bat and then him walking out again to bowl. and he went and chased a ball to the boundary during the innings yesterday and the crowd near that boundary got up and started

applauding him as well. so, listen, it was emotional. i don't know why he chose that middle of the game but it has given us all an opportunity to share in his success and applaud his career. it's four wins on the bounce for netball world cup favourites australia. the number one—ranked side in the world beat scotland 76—37, it's actually their lowest score in south africa so far. defending champions new zealand also continued their perfect start — they beat wales 83—34. england play tonga in a few hours�* time. and that's all the sport for now. thanks to you. thank you so much. we are going to keep talking about the football. as we just heard, nigeria and ireland had to settle for a 0—0 draw in theirfinal group stage match. watching on from brisbane was katie melady, an irish singer songwriter.
