hello and welcome to sportsday. ajax say they're considering legal action after they're given a new date to finish their abandoned match against feyenoord. the countdown to friday's ryder cup is on — we'll hear from both captains. and the england and wales cricket board says it wants "to change the game" to tackle discrimination.

we'll start with the news that the dutch football association has confirmed that the abandoned match between ajax and feyenoord at the weekend will resume behind closed doors on wednesday. feyenoord led 3—0 after 56 minutes when the game was stopped as home fans threw flares and fireworks onto the pitch. trouble continued outside the johan cruyff arena as police used tear gas on fans outside the stadium. ajax say they disagree with the decision to finish the game on wednesday because of fixture congestion and are considering legal action. ajax were hoping to play the game in a later stage. feyenoord said, look, we are 3-0 feyenoord said, look, we are 3—0 up, it's not our problem. the victory should be given to us. today, monday, everybody got together with the federation, and under the rules they have, the federation said, we play this game within the

next 48—hour is. that is what is happening on wednesday afternoon. ajax play feyenoord, the remaining 35 minutes in the johan cruyff arena. there will be no spectators at all. losing with big figures against their rotterdam rivals will be a lot of shame for the fans. you could tell it was brewing. ajax have had the worst start in 60 years. fora have had the worst start in 60 years. for a club which has become world famous, winning european cups, playing total football, the johan european cups, playing total football, thejohan cruyff european cups, playing total football, the johan cruyff way, thatis football, the johan cruyff way, that is so much against the culture of the club. spain forward mariona caldentey says she hopes the women's team can compete at the olympic games next year, as long as it's under the conditions the players think they deserve. many of the players went on strike after the former president of the spanish football federation luis rubiales kissed a player after they won the world cup last month. rubiales has since resigned. but many players remained

on strike until a deal was made with the federation over further changes. spain beat sweden on friday and face switzerland on tuesday in the nations league group stage. the two finalists in the competition, should spain make it that far, will appear at the olympics. translation: this is a global site. all the — translation: this is a global site. all the women _ translation: this is a global site. all the women players i translation: this is a global. site. all the women players own it. we always say we are here to play football. —— a global fight. we are players but we have a voice and responsibility to leave football and women in a better place than when we arrived. now we are fighting this fight almost unintentionally, because what we want and what we do best is to play football. after europe's women retained the solheim cup in spain yesterday, attention now turns to rome, and the ryder cup that gets going on friday. the united states are aiming to win on european soil for the first time since 1993. europe will be hoping to come back from a crushing defeat

in the usa two years ago, where they lost by a record 19—9 at whistling straits. we've been hearing from both captains. certainly have a lot of belief in my team. i know it's going to be a difficult next few days. it really is. the us are very strong, we know that, we are coming off our worst defeat everin are coming off our worst defeat ever in a ryder cup. the us players are strong, high in the world rankings, some great partnerships and a lot of success. we have our work cut out but, as i said, you have to have belief in your team, that you are going to get them into a place where they can be successful. i'm sure zach feel to the same way. i'm looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds over the coming days. we all know, at this point, anybody— we all know, at this point, anybody can beat anybody. it's not a _ anybody can beat anybody. it's not a matter of... i understand the end — not a matter of... i understand the end result can go a number

international rugby has fallen harder than the wallabies, that's apparent at the moment. probably the darkest day in australian rugby history. the england and wales cricket board has laid out its plans to make the game more inclusive after a damning report into the sport earlier this year. the independent commission for equity in cricket said that racism, sexism, elitism and classism were "widespread and deep—rooted" and made more than a0 recommendations. here's our sport editor, dan roan. 0n the field, it's been a summer to cherish for english cricket, with the compelling drama of the men's and women's ashes series played out against a backdrop of soul searching, after a damning independent report found deep—rooted discrimination across the sport. today, the ecb vowed to change the game by committing to a host of recommendations including a new independent regulator to conduct

investigations, £25 million a year to grow the women's and girls game, and action plans to break down barriers for ethnic minority communities and state educated children. yorkshire's players preparing for their final match of the season earlier. the county is still trying to recover from the racism scandal two years ago, and the man in charge told me he welcomed the news today. i guess we've accelerated in terms of ourjourney around dealing with socioeconomic backgrounds, the ethnic diversity within yorkshire, and what we can do around bringing people from state schools into the game. the inequality around gender. it's really starting to pay dividends. 0ur gender. it's really starting to pay dividends. our membership is much more diverse than it ever was. is much more diverse than it everwas. it is much more diverse than it ever was. it will make a change. ever was. it will make a change-— ever was. it will make a chance. ., ., change. the england women -la ers' change. the england women players' match _ change. the england women players' match fees - change. the england women players' match fees have - change. the england women | players' match fees have now been increased to equal the men, but when it comes to the more valuable pay, the ecb would not commit to the recommended parity across the sport at domestic level by

measures announced today, and it's unclear whether tens of millions of pounds the ecb says they will cost, where they will come from. but the governing body insists they are needed if cricket is to become the most inclusive sport in the country. to tennis, and top seed alexander zverev will face unseeded roman safiullin in the final of the chengdu 0pen. zverev beat third—seed grigor dimitrov 6—3, 7—6 to seal his place in the final, chasing his first hard court singles title since 2021. but he'll have to get past safiullin, who breezed past number two seed lorenzo musetti 6—3, 6—4 to book his spot in the final. three—time 0lympic medallist jonny brownlee has confirmed he plans to retire after next year's olympic games in paris, but insists he wants to go to the french capital as a genuine medal contender. brownlee is set to compete in the individual traithlon and mixed team relay races, and says he doesn't want to just make up

the numbers for team gb. i want to go to paris to be a genuine medal contender. i don't want to go to get the kit, although the team gb kit is absolutely lovely. i want to be competitive in the individual and the mixed team relay. i'm not sure after that, but i will definitely finish my 0lympic career, although i said that after tokyo but this will definitely be it. and from brownlee finishing his career to a potential star right at the beginning of hers. this is nine—year—old mazel paris alegado of the philippines, who, at the age of nine, has become the youngest competitor at the asian games. she competed in the skateboarding event and reached the final, where she finished seventh. definitely one to watch for the future. you can get all the latest sports news from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website bbc.co.uk/sport from me and the rest of the team at the bbc

sport centre, goodbye. hello there. we've got a bit of rain on the way today, but also should see some spells of sunshine developing. and at the moment, the rain is edging into northern ireland, where it's turning quite heavy. we've got southerly winds feeding in, so it's a mild start to tuesday with temperatures holding up into double figures. and that rain in northern ireland will soon spread to scotland, see a bit of wet weather as well for a time across northern england and north wales. across central and eastern england, a few showers will develop through the day, it'll turn quite cloudy for a time as well. but it is a day where we'll all see some sunshine at some points during the day, and those temperatures continue to run above average for the time of year, about 16—23 degrees. then we've got storm agnes on the way for the middle part

of the week, bringing some potentially disruptive weather. now, at the moment, agnes is this lump of cloud in the mid—atlantic — it's got 30 mile an hour winds on it, it is a very weak area of low pressure. however, it's going to pass underneath a very strong atlanticjet stream blowing at 140 mph, and that will deepen this low pressure rapidly. pressure falls by over 2a millibars in 2a hours. it's an example of a weather bomb. now, thankfully, the peak intensity of this low pressure will be well away from our shores. and actually, as the low pressure moves away from the jet stream, it's going to start to weaken. as that weakening takes place, well, that's what will determine exactly how strong the winds get. now, i think through the irish sea coasts, it's here where we'll see the strongest gusts of wind, could get gusts of wind around 70 or even 80 mph, potentially damaging and certainly disruptive gusts of wind. inland, yes, you could see 50, 60—odd mile an hour gusts across parts of south—west england, across wales, across northern england and northern ireland. but it's the coast and

the hills where we could see those much stronger gusts of wind, reaching 70 or even 80 mph. now, it will stay quite windy into thursday. agnes, or what's left of it, will be heading out into the norwegian sea. we'll be left with lots of showers across western areas, with more general rain pushing back into northern ireland. it will stay quite blustery, temperatures around 14—21 degrees celsius. now, beyond that, i think friday and saturday looking 0k, there'll be a few showers across the northwest, but a fair amount of dry weather. however, rain looks set to return from sunday and into the early part of next week as well. that's it for now.
