hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm tulsen tollett. colombia advance to a quarterfinal against england after seeing off jamaica. france breeze into the last eight, and a date with co—hosts australia after brushing aside morocco. plus, andy murray moves into the second round in toronto as he builds towards the us open. hello there, and thanks forjoining us, where we start with football — and colombia are through to their first women's world cup quarterfinal after beating jamaica 1—0 and will

now face england. as david brindle reports, it was a tense and nervous game with so much at stake. at the stadium where canada, brazil, and the united states were eliminated, colombia and jamaica hoped to avoid a similarfate. for the winners, england await. the first half was physical and tense, but ultimately goalless. that was nothing new forjamaica's defence, who have been impenetrable in this tournament. but when catalina usme brought a long ball down in the area perfectly, she ended that run. colombia in the front, thanks to their captain on the night! the second goalfor this women's world cup, sends the colombians in the stands into raptures! over 300 minutes had gone by before jamaica conceded their first goal of the tournament, and it brought them to live. —— to life. moments later, they struck the woodwork — but they should've equalised. colombia spotted an opportunity and immediately hit

on the counter, a chance to double their lead — to no avail. england will watch this cautiously, something for them to keep in mind in the next round. jamaica kept pushing and came this close to an equaliser. a cross, a free header — agonisingly wide. the fairy tale for jamaica ends here — colombia held their nerve. their prize is first quarterfinal appearance at a world cup, and a date of the european champions. —— with the european champions. david brindle, bbc news. forjamaica though, despite only conceding once overfour games, their impressive world cup comes to an end. for us, just, we're coming in with no games. i feel very happy for the players that they could perform at this level without getting adequate games to play, so i am very pleased with them. and they gave everything tonight, we weren't very good tonight — but you know, that's football. they should be proud

of themselves, i'm very proud of them. laurenjames will miss that game against colombia and has apologised for her red card for standing on nigerian defender michelle alozie. on social media, she said to alozie, "i'm sorry for what happened. also, for our england fans and my team—mates, playing with and for you is my greatest honour and i promise to learn from my experience." france are also through to the quarterfinals — they comfortably beat morocco 4—0 in adelaide. they were never really troubled by the opposition — kadi diani opening the scoring afterjust 15 minutes, and further goals from kenza dali and two from eugenie le sommer sealed the victory and a quarterfinal against hosts australia in brisbane on saturday. this game was a bit special for us. we just arrived four days ago. the players didn't sleep very well to play this game, but it's not an excuse. we were not at 100% —

but for the next game, we have to be more than 100%, because the australian team are very strong and we know it perfectly. we will be ready for this very important game. in the premier league, wolves have announced manager julen lopetegui has left the club, after nine months in charge. it's understood the former real madrid and spain coach, was unhappy with the club's transfer policy this summer. talks held today over the spaniards exit from the club have been described as amicable. former bournemouth manager gary o'neill is being lined up to replace him. chelsea's christopher nkunku has had an operation on his knee and will be out for an extended period according to the club. the french international suffered the problem during the first half of the blues preseason friendly against borussia dortmund last week. the 25—year—old joined the club this summer for a fee of £52 million. and newcastle have confirmed the signing of tino livramento,

from southampton. the 20—year—old full—back could cost them up to £40 million with add—ons, and hejoins on a five—year deal. the start of the premier league season is this weekend — but one thing you're sure to notice in the new campaign, is the amount of injury time played. new rules mean stoppages, like at the men's world cup last year, will be more strictly adhered to. some players have already expressed their frustration with what the rules mean, and it's due to have an impact on fans, too. so let's get more now, from our reporter matt graveling — who was at the launch of the new premier league campaign in brighton. so this is it — another premiere league season. comes around quickly, doesn't it? and this is what they'll all be playing for again — of course, decked out in manchester city colours of blue and white for that historic treble win last season. as always, there's a long way to go, but this season, it could be a little bit longer — and that's because match officials have been told to add on the exact amount of time for specific incidences like substitutions

or goal celebrations, whereas in the past they were only putting on a nominal amount of time. now this has drawn some criticism. i'm here in brighton for the official launch of the premier league, and i got the thoughts of the premier league ceo, richard masters. we've redrawn the line, i suppose that's the best way of putting it, this season. and putting definite emphasis on the referee — the aggressive stuff, getting up close and personal, putting your hands on the referee is unacceptable. so expect to see those things punished on the pitch, and punished post—match, as well. of course, the seagulls finished sixth, making history on the south coast last season — which means they'll have to be factoring in european football into an already congested schedule this season. but what does their ceo, paul barber, make of more games and potentially longer matches? player welfare is always really important to us, because we know we are placing demands on the athletes week to week to play at a high level of intensity, provide great entertainment and compelling football. i suspect the changes will be extreme initially, we will see some quite long periods of added time

both in the first and second halves of games. but i'd like to think, as those changes work their way through, we will see less time added on because the game itself will adapt to it. the idea for a longer entry time has been brought in to try and cut down on time wasting, and also to allow fans to see the ball in play more — but it has drawn criticism from players and managers, pep guardiola and kevin de bruyne. i got the thoughts of the brighton captain, lewis dunk. i see both sides — - obviously it'll put a lot of demand physically - on the bodies of the players, but at the same time it'll be l more enjoyable to play those games a lot longer, | with the ball in play. so yeah, we will have to see how that goes and see how. the body copes with it. well, we saw a lot of additional time in the match is played in the efl this weekend — will it have an impact on the premier league? well there's not long to wait because manchester city fc the current holders of this trophy, will be heading to face theirformer manager vincent kompany on friday night.

now to tennis — and andy murray is through to the second round of the national bank open after beating lorenzo sonego in toronto. the 36—year—old, who's a three—time champion here, battled past the italian for a 7—6, 6—0 victory. after a lengthy first set, murray breezed through the second and will now face either home favourite felix auger alliasime, or australia's max purcell. in montreal, former world number one caroline wozniacki secured a first—round victory on her return to the sport after three years out. the 33—year—old dane has had two children since retiring in 2020, and comfortably beat 115th ranked kimberly birrell of australia 6—2 6—2. i'm really happy to be the winner of this match today. it's not easy to come back and dust off the cobwebs and the rest, but i think i've played pretty well considering everything else that's been going on. so i'm so thrilled to be through to the next round, get another match

under my belt. to boxing — it's been confirmed that anthonyjoshua will fight finland's robert helenius at london's o2 arena on saturday. helenius, who fought last weekend, steps in at a week's notice as the replacement for dillian whyte, who failed a voluntary drugs test. helenius's last big fight was a first round knock—out defeat to deontay wilder, who could bejoshua's next opponenet if he wins on saturday. to rugby league — warrington wolves have made an eye—catching appointment for their new head coach. dual code international sam burgess will take over in 202a. the former england captain coached new south wales country side orara valley axemen last season in australia, and has been assistant coach at the south sydney rabbitohs this term, but it's a gamble for warrington who've under achieved in the past couple of seasons. gary chambers will continue on an interim basis for the rest of this season. switzerland successfully defended their team time trial mixed relay title at the uci cycling world championships,

edging out france by just seven seconds. switzerland's combined time of 5a minutes and 16 seconds saw them leap above france, with germany taking bronze. stefan bissegger, stefan kung, and mauro schmid set the fastest time amongst the men, and then elise chabbey, nicole koller, and marlen reusser completed the task to take gold in glasgow. just to re—cap our top story: colombia are through to the women's world cup quarterfinals for the first time. they beatjamaica i—0, and will now face england on saturday. you can get all the latest on our website. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. today looks a lot better

across the south of the uk than what we had on tuesday. all that rain and drizzly conditions, it felt quite cool, as well. so today and also thursday look to be drier and warmer — certainly warmer on thursday across the board — but it will be short—lived as low pressure brings a return to cooler, showery conditions friday and the weekend. high pressure�*s building in across the country, as you move through the day today, there will be variable amounts of cloud in places, particularly towards the south and the west. but some good spells of sunshine across northern, central, and eastern areas. a bit of fairweather cloud is bubbling up into the afternoon, so it will be one of patchy cloud and sunny spells. it will be turning warmer, a bit more humid in the south — 2a celsius in the southeast, a little bit warmer, as well, across some northern areas, but it will stay quite windy for the northern isles. as you move through wednesday night, we see a lot of dry weather around — clear skies, variable cloud. we'll start to import some warmer, more humid air from the south, so we're into the mid—teens, northern ireland, england and wales even much milder across scotland, too.

and you can see the orange coloured spreading their way northwards on thursday, as we pick up warm and humid airfrom france and spain. so a much warmer day across the board on thursday. again, variable cloud, some good spells of sunshine, winds coming in from the south, and we'll see those temperatures reaching 25 celsius or so across the central belt of scotland, widespread mid—20s across england and wales, and we could see highs of around 26—27 celsius. but, like i mentioned, it doesn't last — we'll see this cold front spreading across the country during the course of friday, that'll bring the temperatures down again and introduce showers or longer spells of rain, some of which will be thundery across central and northern areas. but the southeast of england, holding on to the sunnier skies for longest, so not a bad day here until the band of cloud with some showers starts to push in later on. so again, 2a—25 celsius in the southeast, but you'll notice the temperatures will be coming down further north and west. low pressure sticks close by, unfortunately, for the weekend, generally to the north—northwest

of the country — so it's the northern half of the country will see most of the blustery showers, some of them heavy and thundery. a better chance of staying drier towards the south. but, like i mentioned, some of the showers will be heavy at times and, with the breeze coming in from the southwest, it'll feel on the cool side for august.
