todays match the deciders, but the english weather has once again done for england. having posted a target of 310 for the tourists to win, australia reached 165 for two before the rain arrived. australia awarded the win, and the series courtesy of a higher run rate. our correspondentjoe wilson is watching. yes, the summer's final countdown. cricket�*s conclusion, england in a hurry, harry burke, the hit seven sixes over encouraging boundaries, everyone knew it was coming. the wind would bring rain. while ben duckett was betting, living the moment, the dedicated spectators deserved some fun and deck it made 107 from 91 pulse. a career—high. still, australia's spin bowler stuck at it,

duckitt�*s... whetherjust holding australia chased and scored rapidly to stay ahead of the required rate and the following temperatures. they made it to the 21st over, knowing they had enough to win when the rain finally poured and the seas and reach the point of saturation. joe wilson, bbc news. so this is how the score card looked before rain ruined the day. ben duckitt, england's hero with a sublime century. travis head australia's menace with the ball, four wickets for him, but also a menace with the bat, the aussie opener together with matt short blasting the tourists to above ten an over, strike rates well above a 100 for each. the platform set with australia on 165 for two in the 21st over ahead on dls — therefore, they take the series 3—2. let's move on to football because tottenham hotspurs good run of recent form continued with a 3—0 thrashing of ten man manchester united at old trafford to increase the pressure on their manager erik ten haag. that's now one win in five premier league matches for united while tottenham with a fourth victory in a row in all competitions. spurs started quickly and took

the lead in the third minute when micky van der ven went on a marauding run from defence and found brennanjohnson, who was left with the simplest of finishes. united then went down to ten men when their captain bruno fernandes was given a straight red card for a challenge onjames maddison. tottenham doubled their lead early in the second half, johnson turning provider for dejan kulusevski's first goal of the season. dominic solanke rounded off the scoring in a comprehensive win for spurs. in the days other game, aston villa missed the opportunity to join liverpool at the top of the premier league after they were held to a 2—2 draw at ipswich. two goals from liam delap means they move out of the bottom three. patrick gearey was watching an entertaining game at portman road. at ipswich, it's been sunshine and showers, no wins this season but on the bright side, no defeats in three. even

against high—flying aston villa they kept the faith and soon they kept the faith and soon they had their hearts desire, a goal that came without warning finished from their first attack by liam delap. having scored out of nowhere ipswich conceded the same way, accidentally inviting bella back into the game. the m4 morgan rogers call when called on and before long they reverse the charges on ipswich. villa have become beautifully efficient, 0llie watkins�* goal celebrated as it was created without fuss. the son of a good team as is the presence of a solid goalkeeper and when the lap looms again martinez did what was needed. it seemed there would be no furtherjonah but still the home side weren�*t done and dunlap wasn�*t done. in a moment that shows ipswich have hoped if not yet glory. patrick erie, bbc news. i am not happy with the point but i had to accept because i think it�*s further

the side and i know it�*s really difficult to play ipswich here because they were pushing and playing well. the second half is somewhere we have to continue doing and we have to, i said one point, is not a bad point because we are 15, 15 point in the table of course, and we are doing it our way. every game in the division is tough, we know the scale of the challenge every week, but if you look at the table, a difficult first six fixtures and again it's four games in a row now we've got a result of the game, the only two teams to beat us man city and liverpool, so i think we're in a good way, i like the direction of the group, it's such a tough division, it's hard to pick up points and it's even harder to win games and is going to be a big fight for us all season. elsewhere today, in the days only scottish premiership fixture, rangers survived a nervy second half to secure a win against hibernian tom lawrence�*s goal in the first

half was the only moment of quality for rangers as they struggled to hold off a dominant hibbs. var overturned an initial offside call to give them the lead before half time. hibbs were given a chance to stage a comeback but wasted it, jack buttler�*s save enough to secure a victory for rangers which takes them within five points of premiership leaders celtic and aberdeen. this is how things stand then, with celtic and aberdeen maintaining their 100% starts to the season yesterday, rangers remain third. manchester city recorded their first win of the women�*s super league with a 1—0 victory over brighton bunny shaw with the only goal of the game as city looked to bounce back after a draw against arsenal in their opening match. gareth taylor�*s side missed out on the title last season because they scored seven goals fewer than chelsea, so he was happy with the win today. when you think about obviously what we�*ve done so far this season and the four points we�*ve taken, we didn�*t take any of those last season, nothing off of arsenal and we lost this game home here, so we are

already four points up here which is pleasing. certainly some little bits of finishing to work on but, yeah, really pleased for the team because we worked tremendously hard today. four other wsl matches this afternoon. manchester united made it two wins from two with a 1—0 victory over everton, grace clinton with the winner there. arsenal got their first win of the season, beating leicester by a goal to nil. west ham and liverpool drew 1—1, whilst theres been late drama at villa. the hosts thought they had won it after coming from behind to lead 2—1, captain rachel daly putting them ahead in the 88th minute, but six minutes into added time, beth england has headed spurs level. 2—2 it�*s finished. more football in a moment when we take an in—depth look at the situation at everton, but first some of the other stories making the headlines today. mark selby leadsjohn higgins by five frames to three after the opening session of the british open final in cheltenham. they�*ll play to a finish this evening with ten

and world championship in the same year, tadej pogacar hasjoined ireland�*s stephen roche and the legendary belgian eddy merckx in cycling�*s history books by completing the triple crown. drew savage reports. even to a man who has won the tour de france three times, the giro d italia and some of cycling �*s biggest one—day races this is a special victory. you would have the audacity to attack for the third of the race to go. he isn�*tjust a winning machine he wins in ways others simply wouldn�*t dare to, supported at first by his slovenian team—mate, he caught the breakaway group at the front of the race and just rode away in a class of his own for strength and style. behind a peloton, defending champion tried to cut into his lead but nobody could make an impact. the only hope

was that gotcha might fade or miscalculate, one of the greatest writers we�*ve ever seen on two wheels, one of cycling�*s greatest champions, he�*s about to win the triple crown of george italia, tour de france and world championship in the same season. even he was surprised at how he did it. we have surprised at how he did it. - have planned to keep the race under control but the race went quite early and i don�*t know what i was thinking and ijust went also and i went to the floor and luckily i made it but yeah, it was so tough, incredible.— yeah, it was so tough, incredible. �* ., ., ., ., incredible. and for a man who has won the — incredible. and for a man who has won the pink _ incredible. and for a man who has won the pinkjersey, - incredible. and for a man who has won the pinkjersey, the l has won the pinkjersey, the hero, the yellow for tour, this was the one left that he really wanted, winning the triple crown means he is up there with all—time greats like eddie marks, and the age of 26 who knows what else he could achieve. drew savage, bbc news.

takeovers as well. the most long—running one that many people will of heard of it is the 777 partners saga. they were an american consortium from miami, they tried to buy everton, from last september right up tojune of this year, but kept failing to meet the deadlines and since then there�*s been controversy around some of their other business dealings. we seen cristobal a spotlight co—owner opening say in interviews he would love to own everton and compared it to be the american president but that couldn�*t happen because he already had a premier league club. there�*s been psr breaches because everton were found to not be within the financial rules of the premier league, that has led to two lots of points deductions, there was also an appeal over the first points deduction which was an incredible ten points. john has had a lot on his plate and more recently you�*ve seen illness and injury go through his squad, so he�*s had a lot to deal with. squad, so he's had a lot to

story here on sportsday. pressure mounts on manchester united boss erik ten hag after they�*re hammered 3—0 at home by spurs. plenty nmore reaction over on the bbc sport website, but that�*s it for now. we�*ll be back in an hour. that�*s all from sportsday. hello. although most of us have stayed dry this weekend, low pressure is sweeping in across england, wales and northern ireland as we speak. that will hang around for the first few days of this upcoming week. monday and tuesday certainly looking wetter and windier — rather cool, but mid—week, high pressure will build in and that�*ll settle things down and we�*ll see increasing amounts of sunshine, but the nights will be cool with mist and fog returning. but up until tuesday, england and wales will have heavy and persistent rain — again, falling on saturated ground, we�*re likely to see the risk of further localised flooding in places. worth staying tuned to the forecast over

the next few days. this area of low pressure is the culprit, which will become slow—moving as it pushes across england and wales during the course of the night, and the rain will be heavy and persistent accompanied by strong, gusty winds, up to 60mph around some channel coasts and in towards south wales. but a drier night to come across northern areas, but turning windy here as well. single figures for northern and western scotland, and double fingers further south. we are dragging in some milder air. into monday, this low pressure system will grind to a halt across the uk as it bumps against that area of high pressure. a wet and windy start for large parts of england and wales with rain becoming more confined to parts of east anglia, northern and eastern england, the north midlands, north wales. anywhere in this zone could see localised flooding, so stay tuned to the forecast. to the north, it�*s rather dry and cloudy and on the cold side, but further south, it will brighten up with south wales and southern england turning a bit warmer — up to 17 or 18 celsius with one or two showers.

the rain continues across central, northern and eastern parts of england as we head through monday night. still raining across eastern england and east anglia by the time we reach tuesday morning. temperatures again mild in the south, but cooler further north. the area of low pressure takes its time to pull away eastwards, so it�*ll still affect eastern england on tuesday with strong winds and outbreaks of rain, physically towards east anglia and the far south—east. high pressure is building and further north and west, and the wind will be like to hear. and the wind will be lighter here. increasing sunshine, so it will feel warm at 16 or 17 celsius in the warmest spot. still feeling quite warm further east with strong winds and rain. high pressure builds in to end the new week. good spells of sunshine and mist and fog overnight.
