tomorrow is temperatures of 11—13 . tomorrow is looking drier than today in many places, there will be some spells of sunshine but across england and wales, some showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery and in northern ireland and scotland, often a large amount of cloud and bits of pieces of showery rain. but the northerly breeze, a noticeable northerly breeze, a noticeable northerly breeze, a noticeable northerly breeze, so temperatures at best 14 in stornoway, maybe 22 in london. on friday, the breeze might ease a little but still coming down from the north and still quite a few showers, particularly across eastern england where we will see heavy and thundery showers. are not as many further west, thundery showers. are not as many furtherwest, but thundery showers. are not as many further west, but temperatures of 16-20 . and let further west, but temperatures of 16—20 . and let me show you what happens the start of the weekend. for the fourth weekend in a row, a row, a low pressure in charge of the weather and this one on saturday is set to bring some very heavy rain but it might also bring some gales around some irish sea coasts. sunday it looks a bit drier and brighter and a bit warm but that is not

saying much. thanks, ben. and that's bbc news at six. it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. good night. hello, and welcome to sportsday — i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes. here's a quick look at what we have coming up tonight. from crowdfunding to the world cup knock—out stages — jamaica's "reggae girlz" show brazil how it's done. south africa are also through to the last 16 for the first time in their history, after an emotional win over italy. and scotland is set to put cycling in a spin, as it hosts the sport's biggest world championships. also coming up on sportsday... we look ahead to england's final group game at the netball world cup against the top side,

australia. so, welcome to sportsday, and lots more to come. but we're starting at the women's world cup, where it's been an extraordinary day as teams jostle for the final few places in the knock—out stages, and the headline today is that — two teams that have never made the last 16, jamaica and south africa, knocked—out two of the big guns, brazil and italy. alex fletcher rounds up all the action. to sides with differing expectations heading into the tournament. south africa, ready to do battle with italy and wellington. only one place in the knockouts of for grabs — and after falling in the knockouts of for grabs — and afterfalling behind in the knockouts of for grabs — and after falling behind to an early penalty, the underdogs were gifted an equaliser. penalty, the underdogs were gifted an equaliser-—

plain sailing for sweden, in hamilton, as they looked at to confirm top spot with a win over argentina. a second goal of the tournament for blanche vest, giving them the lead, and as they closed out the match, all eyes shifted to the knockouts. next up, world champions usa in melbourne. it's been 28 years since priscilla failed to qualify out of the groups at the world cup. jamaica meanwhile had to launch a gofundme pagejust world cup. jamaica meanwhile had to launch a gofundme page just to world cup. jamaica meanwhile had to launch a gofundme pagejust to be here. as the two sides met in london, brazil needed a win to reach the knockouts, but it was little being given away by the jamaican defence. restricting their opponents, the best chance came... and maybe that is that for brazil. and maybe that is that for brazil. and went in the dying minutes. and in the final whistle, the celebrations started yelp look that started. f celebrations started yelp look that started. j ., . ., celebrations started yelp look that started. f ., .. , ., started. they've done it, can you believe it? _ started. they've done it, can you believe it? i— started. they've done it, can you believe it? ifeel_ started. they've done it, can you believe it? i feel so _ started. they've done it, can you believe it? i feel so emotional. l started. they've done it, can you i believe it? i feel so emotional. and for a team — believe it? i feel so emotional. and for a team that _ believe it? i feel so emotional. and for a team that goes _ believe it? i feel so emotional. and for a team that goes through - believe it? i feel so emotional. and

their legendary player marta said this scenario "wasn't even in her worst nightmare". and to be fair, not many would have predicted it before the tournament, as jamaica needed crowdfunding to even be at the world cup. here's the reaction of our reporter in melbourne, katie smith. it was shock and surprise because i was there four years ago in 2019 in france watching jamaica, i was following their group. i watched them plays brazil and lose 3—0, and they never even picked up a world cup point at that stage. this is a team who have come into this with so many problems, with the federation not giving them the support they need to be able to pull out performances. yet here they come into this match knowing theyjust need that point. and they did play like that, let's get themselves does not get ourselves, they never had any shots on target. but they knew that a draw was enough. she looked

fantastic, the top goalkeeper, and it was an historic achievement, the first caribbean nation, men or women, to make it into the knockout stages of a world cup. and all as we always say, is the clean desk cliche phrase, it's game by game, who knows what happens now? they take on the winner of group age, which includes germany and columbia, so that'll be concluded tomorrow, and could make for a pretty tasty match up.— for a pretty tasty match up. obvious events at the _ for a pretty tasty match up. obvious events at the expense _ for a pretty tasty match up. obvious events at the expense of _ for a pretty tasty match up. obvious events at the expense of brazil, - events at the expense of brazil, katie, and the really would not be expecting to go up. and sad for marta because she's the all—time record holder of the men's and women's world cup? she record holder of the men's and women's world cup?— record holder of the men's and women's world cup? she was one of the more measured _ women's world cup? she was one of the more measured players- women's world cup? she was one of the more measured players which . the more measured players which speaks to her experience in the match, so many coming through to do their media interviews in tears, sobbing their way through, they were sobbing their way through, they were so upset. meanwhile, marta went to every single jamaican player and congratulated them, saying essentially "the battle is yours now." she was looking to make

history — that didn't happen, and they go out at the group stage for they go out at the group stage for the first time at this point in a tournament for 28 years, 1995. she chatted to some of the brazilian journalists here in the press and they were angry. they say that these players, the coach have a lot to answer for because the funding is there, they brought the biggest contention of support staff for any nation here, yet here they are leaving before we even get to the pointy end of the competition. so yeah, i think they leave it there had downs with pressure marks over what happens next, as well. this was all is going to be a great game because there was just so much riding on it for both africa and italy? riding on it for both africa and ital ? r , ,., , riding on it for both africa and ital 2 ~ y ., italy? absolutely, if you look at south africa's _ italy? absolutely, if you look at south africa's opening - italy? absolutely, if you look at south africa's opening match i italy? absolutely, if you look at - south africa's opening match against sweden, they were leading, than in the dying minutes, sweden got the

win. again in the second game for south africa, they were leading and argentina came to level 2—2, so many african football fans were wondering, will south africa be able to have good management and not give up to have good management and not give up again, goal leads as they did in their two previous matches? and we saw them turning things around, not giving up even though they were behind, with italy getting their first goal,. then a goal for south africa, and what a great story, she had a really big injury coming into this competition, so such a big historic moment for south africa, getting their first win and now in the last 16 for the first time in their history.— the last 16 for the first time in their history. looking at african teams in this _ their history. looking at african teams in this world _ their history. looking at african teams in this world cup, - their history. looking at african teams in this world cup, it's i their history. looking at african i teams in this world cup, it's been good so far. we know nigeria and south africa are through, morocco could still make it through, but not ideal preparation for nigeria and south africa, with disputes over pay and funding? tell us about those. irate and funding? tell us about those. we saw and funding? tell us about those. - saw south africa coming into the world cup, there was a big row in

terms of the money they would be getting at the world cup. what we saw was the president has a foundation, so he had to step in and settle the dispute, payment for the team coming into this world cup. in fact they had a match up friendly against botswana leading to the world cup, in the senior players didn't play because of this dispute, because of the disagreement they had with the federation. so they ended up finding last minute scrambling to get a place, even a 13—year—old was put in the line—up to play for south africa. so the preparations were not ideal. the same for nigeria, the first african country to get through to the last 16 in this competition. they had been owing their coach 1a months salary coming into the competition, they paid him seven months of it, he is still outstanding about seven months worth of his payment, and the players as well are being owed money. they haven't even been paid yet, so with these african teams making history going through to the last 16, but

terrible preparations coming to the competition. terrible preparations coming to the competition-— terrible preparations coming to the competition. obviously england has niceria competition. obviously england has nigeria next. _ competition. obviously england has nigeria next, what _ competition. obviously england has nigeria next, what sort _ competition. obviously england has nigeria next, what sort of— nigeria next, what sort of opposition will they be for england? it'll be very tough for both sides, it'll be very tough for both sides, i think lauren is picking up that the right moment for england. if england played the way they did against haiti and their first match, nigeria would stand a good chance. i'm doing predictions here as they did against australia, but james is picking up — she's in incredible form, so nigeria will have to be very disciplined in their defence, and as well they need to be very good with their passes, and clinical in the final third if they are to get any sort of win against england, because they are one of the favourites in this competition. it will be very tough. well england's head coach, sarina weigman, has already begun preparations for the match against nigeria, as katie gornall reports.

what a night it was, england beating china 6—1, by far and away the best they played in this tournament. it was a lot of fun to watch, i've got someone with me who particularly enjoyed that one, former england goalkeeper. they couldn't have gone better, couldn't it? it turns out england coped pretty well? it was absolute stellar, _ england coped pretty well? it was absolute stellar, i— england coped pretty well? it was absolute stellar, ijust _ england coped pretty well? it was absolute stellar, ijust loved - england coped pretty well? it was| absolute stellar, ijust loved every moment— absolute stellar, ijust loved every moment of— absolute stellar, ijust loved every moment of that game last night. but yeah, _ moment of that game last night. but yeah. how— moment of that game last night. but yeah, how do you replace a player like walter? i don't think there's a like walter? i don't think there's a like for— like walter? i don't think there's a like for like — like walter? i don't think there's a like for like player, but it forced serena — like for like player, but it forced serena beekman's hand to make some difficult _ serena beekman's hand to make some difficult decisions we've not seen her make — difficult decisions we've not seen her make in terms of formation change — her make in terms of formation change -- _ her make in terms of formation change —— serena so so much fluidity and freedom in attack, — so much fluidity and freedom in attack, as— so much fluidity and freedom in attack, as well. you bring in katy to hold _ attack, as well. you bring in katy to hold down that central position and a _ to hold down that central position and a really nice complement. really

diego maradona's, we don't see many of those any more. so to be on the female side, when you see a player like that, you have to think to yourself, wow, if she remains fit and keeps developing and having support around her, why not? now there's been plenty of chat about the saudi pro league and the mini—exodus of players from europe. liverpool have already sold two players there and manager jurgen klopp expressed his concerns over the saudi transfer window which ends nearly three weeks after the european window. well tonight, 5live have a special programme on the subject. peter hutton is on the board of the pro league, and says he's never seen anything like it. it is remarkable, you know, i've worked in sport for a0 years now and i've never seen a project as big as this, as ambitious as this, and may be as determined as this, to be a success. and i think the bit that

really attracted me to it is the fact that it's notjust fact that it's not just about headline players and the big glamourous transfer fee, and wages. it's also about the whole saudi football infrastructure, whether that be women or youth, creating a whole pyramid that really transforms the sport in the country. i love the scale of that vision, and seeing it come into practice is remarkable. you can hear more from peter hutton with mark chapman on 5live's special programme tonight from 7.30pm. just one other football line for you — and that's news today that the legendary italian goalkeeper gianluigi buffon is retiring at the age of a5. buffon had an incredible career spanning 28 years, during which he became the world's most expensive goalkeeper when he moved tojuventus and won ten serie a titles with them. he also won 176 caps for italy and helped them lift the world cup in 2006. let's have a quick look at some

of the other stories making the headlines today. leigh halfpenny will win a 100th cap for wales when he starts their world cup warm—up match against england on saturday. the full—back brings up a century as he attempts to prove his fitness for the tournament in france this autumn. the most prestigious race of glorious goodwood — the sussex stakes was won by the unbeaten irish superstar, paddington, who ignored the heavy ground to see off a top—class field forjockey ryan moore and trainer aiden o'brien. and emma raducanu is back on court for the first time, after having wrist and ankle surgery in may. the briton has been plagued with injuries since winning the us open two years ago. she's unlikely to be fit in time for this year's tournament, which starts later this month.

the netball world cup is getting to the business end in south africa, and the hosts secured a stunning draw against new zealand in the last few moments — which keeps alive their hopes of reaching the semi—finals. the defending champions new zealand looked like they were coasting to victory and a semifinal spot, with a six—point lead in the last quarter before south africa fought back to level with the very last play of the game. it ended a8—a8. wales' hopes of a top—eight finish are over after they lost to uganda 73—56 in cape town. it means the best either wales or scotland can do is ninth at this world cup. well, the former england captain ama abueze is part of the bbc�*s team covering the world cup, and she told me, although they'll be disappointed, this has been a productive tournament. soa so a lot of times, the lower —ranked nations don't meet the top ranked internationallyjust in terms of trying to get game time. so it's actually great they've had exposure to those top ranked teams, and also occasionally given them a run for their money. scotland had a good context against malawi, but wales

have been in a very difficult position, they've had south africa and jamaica. so a tough time for them, but they'll be looking at things like attempts at goal per quarter, their shooting opportunities and reducing their errors under pressure. scotland have done really well, they haven't necessarily got the winds, but in terms of exposure of inexpensive players, they take that box, and they've also had a challenge against some of the top teams. scotland putting pressure on to some of the top teams, which was really unexpected. top teams, which was really unexpected-_ top teams, which was really unexpected. top teams, which was really unexected. . ., ., unexpected. england are into the semifinals - _ unexpected. england are into the semifinals - before _ unexpected. england are into the semifinals - before then, - unexpected. england are into the semifinals - before then, they i unexpected. england are into the i semifinals - before then, they play semifinals — before then, they play australia in their last pool game which, i don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing, knowing you've got to go into the semifinals and play a different team? i got to go into the semifinals and play a different team?— play a different team? i think it's uuite play a different team? i think it's quite good- _ play a different team? i think it's quite good- so — play a different team? i think it's quite good. so far _ play a different team? i think it's quite good. so far england i quite good. so far england have almost cruised through, they've played quite well. they've been inconsistent in terms of their turnover, so it's something to step up turnover, so it's something to step up and play against australia with the best in the world. so to mark

themselves and increase the level of their net ball moving forward before that tough semi that they'll have. just finally, as i got you here in the studio and you're a former international, obviously would've heard victoria pulled out of the next commonwealth games, in the future of the commonwealth games could be in doubt. how important is the commonwealth games to netball? because you don't have —— you aren't an olympic sport, how damaging would that be for the sport if it doesn't happen? it that be for the sport if it doesn't ha en? , that be for the sport if it doesn't ha . en? , ., , that be for the sport if it doesn't hauen? , . , ., that be for the sport if it doesn't hauen? , ., , . ., happen? it is really detrimental to the sort happen? it is really detrimental to the sport of _ happen? it is really detrimental to the sport of netball. _ happen? it is really detrimental to the sport of netball. some - happen? it is really detrimental to the sport of netball. some sportsl happen? it is really detrimental to i the sport of netball. some sports at the sport of netball. some sports at the commonwealth game, it's not one of the pinnacle events because there are countries missing, but for netball, the top nations are at those games. so it'sjust netball, the top nations are at those games. so it's just as competitive as the world championship. not being in the olympics, it's the only multisport event we will never get to attend, so i think in terms of eyes that don't necessarily go and look for netball, so people who don't follow the sport, it's a great opportunity, the sport, it's a great opportunity, the commonwealth games. so to lose that would be really significant.
