chris woakes to marnus labuschagne to joe fingertips.th edge and bairstow held the catch. broad again, australia four wickets down. yeah, 91—4 at lunch, that's a positive morning for england. lots of questions this week about the spirit of cricket, i know, i've been asking some of them. what's really important is that australian and england fans can intermingle and enjoy each other�*s company safely. from where i'm standing that's definitely happening and the cricket definitely happening and the cricket definitely is exciting. joe wilson, thank you. to tennis, and it's all eyes on centre court at wimbledon later today, as britain's andy murray takes on the fifth seed stefanos tsitsipas. 0ur sports correspondent nesta mcgregor is in sw19, where, nesta, one of those players had late finish last night. this is going to be one to watch later on, isn't it?— later on, isn't it? absolutely, it should be _ later on, isn't it? absolutely, it should be a _ later on, isn't it? absolutely, it should be a thrilling _ later on, isn't it? absolutely, i

chris woakes came in again. he had made 72. a straightforward lbw decision. two down. success for england, exactly what they could not do yesterday. the third man to fall was marnus labuschagne. he madejust i3. third man to fall was marnus labuschagne. he madejusti3. it third man to fall was marnus labuschagne. he madejust 13. it was the extra pace of mark wood and a catch by crawley. three early wickets for england, exactly what they wanted. it seemed they had another, ten minutes ago, steve smith batting, the ball leapt off his glove, stokes leaping for the catch. it seemed like a clean catch except when we saw it more closely on the replay, as his arm came down, almost throwing the ball up in celebration, the ball came out. the umpire ruled he did not have that catch under control. i think it was fair but it means australia are just three wickets down at needing 146 to win. if the weather holds, i can only foresee a thrilling finish. never a dull moment. co—hosts australia are through to the last 16 of the women's world cup. they ran out comfortable 4—0 winners agai

now, chris woakes boundary. all the way, all the way for six. had supported, resisted, and now he crunched the winning runs on his return to the team. after a day of cricket when nothing felt certain, the match was done. the series is a lie. joe canjoin joe can join us joe canjoin us live joe can join us live from headingley —— the series is alive. joe canjoin us live from headingley -- the series is alive.— -- the series is alive. fascinating series seem _ -- the series is alive. fascinating series seem to — -- the series is alive. fascinating series seem to be _ -- the series is alive. fascinating series seem to be perfectly - -- the series is alive. fascinating series seem to be perfectly on i -- the series is alive. fascinating series seem to be perfectly on a | series seem to be perfectly on a knife edge and is no different today. this weather we're having right now as i'm sure you can see reminders of course the weather we had yesterday and just makes the point that really this was a three—day test match. low scoring, fast—moving, exhilara

chris woakes's role pivotal. still two more to take. who's that young man?ould make them scream even louder. one last time for the legs, the arms and the headband. his final delivery, his last act, was to win the match. i think when i made the decision on friday night, you know, you start thinking, what will your last ball be and how will that sort of be remembered. and it was really what dreams are made of, to be honest. i'll miss the competitiveness. i'll miss the changing room. and i'll miss putting on an england shirt and putting on my england floppy hat. but ultimately it's up to someone younger and fresher to take it on. broad's great friend james anderson plays on, but england need new recruits on the field and in the stands behind them. we obviously want to win games of cricket but we want to win those games in a manner which people can look back on and say, like, "wow, what a day i've had, or what a week i've had." and i think we've been able to do that throughout this whole series. well, let's remember the series finishes 2—2, so australia retain t

others, like chris woakes, went through some quite extensive stretching.w that whatever the result, england's idea is to bring people back to test match cricket, and that really goes for young players as well. take harry brooke, for example, could earn a fortune playing he is committed to england, to try and balancing his defence and attack as and he is committed to making up for manchester. well, we were dominating the game last week, so if the game had have played out, i like to think it almost makes it a moral victory. these guys are the best team in the world, at times we have got a big score there but i feel like i've contributed a little bit to a few games now. especially that innings at lord's in the first innings looked to score. so it's just, like you say, getting that measure there and getting it right most innings. so after all that we've seen at all that we might have seen in this test match series so far, which team is actually the better? ah. here is an australian response. everyone has different opinions. england are going to say in periods

we also saw chris woakes get rid of wicketkeeper alex carey for just five. x carey forjust five. carrie is one of the australians here and they love to boo. they still haven't forgotten i think of what happened with that stumping at lord's. australian... ben stokes knew he had to take on the short, knew he had to try and find a boundary, and he did on several occasions. he made 77 by the time he finally mis—hit one of those big shots and found a fielder. where did that leave the match house finally, when australia were all out, england's target for victory was 200 and of t1. there is still time and like in the evening sky for england to come out and start their second innings. we saw a reasonably confident start from zak crawley and then duckett. the key thing for england is at the end of the diet they are still there. when we turn our amount to they are still there. when we turn ouramount to a they are still there. when we turn our amount to a scorecard, we will see england, no wickets lost in their second innings, 27 without loss if my maths is correct. the

chris woakes got four wickets and there were two for stuart broad who reached the milestone of 600 test they don't really mean anything, i think, until you stop playing. but you want to achieve milestones in test match wins. i think they always mean a lot more when you manage to to take wickets and test match wins and and as a team we've had a pretty decent day on a pretty decent cricket pitch as well. you know i've got the ball in front of me that i got the 600 with and that hit the aussies middle of the bat a bit too much off me today. so, yeah, it's been an interesting day's cricket, but nice to nice to have contributed to the team as well. our process is is taking it day by day and trying to make sure we win that day. and for us, today was obviously getting sent in again. it was just about putting our best foot forward and putting on a score on the board that was going to put pressure on england. and obviously, they're the ones that are that are going to be chasing the game. with with some weather around for for the last two days. well, pakistan need 83 runs to win their first test

england's team will be different — mark wood bringing pace bowling, chris woakes trying to get some wicketsat number five. above all that, in that will hope for some intangible headingly magic to win the test match. that right now is the theory. cycling, now, and there's a new leader of the tour de france after a hard day of racing in the pyrenees. australia's jai hindley has taken the yellow jersey from britain's adam yates, who's now in fifth place, having lost a minute and a half on stage five. hindley leads the race by 47 seconds from defending champion jonas vingegaard. adam yates and his team mate tadej pogacar had started the day first and second, but this was their first big test in the high mountains. they had to use all their team's resources to chase down two breakaway groups, and almost made it whenjai hindley, who won the giro d'italia last year, launched an attack. he jumped out of his spacing group, and tadej pogacar was next. jonas vingegaard launched himself up the road afterjai hindley. jonas vingegaard cut the australian lead but couldn't catch him. hindley picked up his

mark wood to come to the crease and nervously wallop a six to make england believe again, and chris woakese all the way until it was his turn to those winning runs and headingley erupted as it has done many times in the past. when the englishmen really need a victory, they tend to come here. but to keep the ashes alive, it is very important and it now stands at 2—1. both teams have over a week to rest and think before the fourth test begins. the break will be good for us and for the australians as well. it has been quick turnaround and there have been three very hardfought games. so i think everyone could do with a break and we know what we need to do. we need to win the next two games. it is pretty simple. i would have liked a few more on the board. defending 250 on a pretty good wicket was i was going to be hard but i thought we bowled really well at times and a couple of good innings by them. you know, harry brook was batting nicely so new he was a key wickets. unfortunately they put a good partnership together. but another great game, flipping and flopping. there has been so much top—l

the fourth wicket, chris woakes, caught caught behind by alex carey. at lunch england are 142—7.l be looking to him for a captain's innings. let's take it to golf, and to the irish golfer who is close to the leeds. donegan started with a couple of bogeys but recovered. we are part of the history. it is really cool. i told myself, no matter what, this is going to be a memorable week, it is going to be an enjoyable week, so i will try to get the best out of myself, but no matter what happens, i will always enjoy it. matter what happens, i will always enjoy it. it's not often we associate england men with winning a trophy, but the country's amputee football team has just won its first piece of silverware. they beat spain, scoring this penalty to win1—0 in the final of the inaugural nations league tournament. the team hope that their victory will inspire more people like them to get involved in the game. the main idea was to get back into football, but then with my prosthetic leg on. at this time i did no amputee football was a thing. just trying to raise more awareness about it beca

the wickets of chris woakes in this match and in this series have really changed things in england'sour. and moeen ali did his bit as the last day spin bowler, despite his groin injury. now, obviously, remember, the series finished 2—2 so australia retain the ashes. they lifted the urn, but not with the full sense of celebrations they'd have wanted. but they played their full part. the fact is, the teams have been so competitive throughout the weeks, and that's what's revived this historic series. well, stuart broad said he wanted to go out on top, playing on the biggest stage after a summer he's loved. he's done just that in a series that'll live long in the memory. i made the decision on friday night — you start thinking, "what will your last ball will be and how that will be remembered?" to get to bowl, they were just swinging around a little bit, to get to bowl with a couple of minutes left, i managed to pull some left—handers, which is some of my favourite things to do in my career, and to catch the edge a couple of times was truly wonderful. this series was anything goes. the l

chris woakes with both wickets. australia are now 1a1—2 needing 215 runs to win., the weather forecast looks better today despite some rain in the area. it's four wins on the bounce for netball world cup favourites australia. but it was their toughest game of the tournament so far against scotland. a 76—37 win may sound like a large margin of victory but it was actually their lowest score in four games in south africa. results from the first group stage carry through to the second — and the defeat means scotland — who lost their final two games of the opening stage — sit second—bottom of their table. wales have also been in action this morning. they were beaten 83—34 by defending champions new zealand. england play against tonga later. and that's all the sport for now. more now on the announcement hundreds of new licences will be granted to drill for oil and is in the north sea. the prime minister says the move is vital to bolster energy security. rishi sunak has announced significant funding for two new carbon capture and storage projects including the first in s

it was a day that was left to bowlers chris woakes and mark wood to drag the hosts over the line in pursuitth test at old trafford starts on wednesday, 19thjuly. just before we go, a reminder of our top story this hour. the bbc has confirmed that one of its male presenters has been suspended while an investigation is carried out into allegations that he paid a teenager for sexually explicit images. the corporation said it was working as quickly as possible to establish the facts and the appropriate next steps. the claims that the unnamed star paid some £35,000 — the equivalent of $45,000 — to the youth over three years were first reported by a tabloid newspaper. in an email to staff, the director—general, tim davie, said the bbc was taking the allegations "incredibly seriously". in the past few minutes, the metroplitan police has issued a statement, saying, "the met has received initial contact from the bbc in relation to this matter but no formal referral or allegation has been made. we will require additional information before determining what further action should follow. there is much

chris woakes to david warner to jonny bairstow. translation: surely he's gone.years into his australian career, warner had surely played his last ashes innings. usman khawaja had been utterly immovable yesterday. over to the umpire, lbw. woakes and england had another. look at ben stokes' reaction to england's start. this is the last day of stuart broad's career, bowling now to marnus labuschagne. spot on with that shot. labuschagne on 13 and no more. the hands of zak crawley, the power of mark wood, three key batters removed in the first hour of play. just to get rid of steve smith. he'd do things his way, like he always does. living every moment. up—and—down, back and forth, the fortunes of this final day. james anderson bowling. think again, that's the game. remember, every run takes australia closer to victory in the ashes hours which remain. and australia 288 for 3. ben stokeses took a catch. the umpire said not out, that was steve smith reprieved and i wonder the clouds behind me, the flood lights, what part of the weather may play as the game moves on thi

and chris woakes was caught behind by alex carey. they were bowled out for 237.of the credit for that — he stuck in for 80. australia are 56 fori — they lead by 82. david warner the wicket to go early on — gone for one. heartbreak for mark cavendish who came within a hair's—breadth of winning stage seven of the tour de france, and with it a record record—breaking 35th stage win. with about 800m to go, cavendish came out to surge into the lead, butjasper philipsen got in his slipstream and accelerated past him for his third win of the race. so near and yet so far for cavendish, who was hoping to make history today on the seventh stage of the tour. still plenty of stages to go. that is the sport for now. thank you, jane. let's return to the war in ukraine. on the battlefiled is enormously challenging. the ukrainian authorities, quite naturally, are reluctant to give many details on their counter—offensive so any glimpse of what is happening on the front line is incredibly illuminating. we've had that from our own correspondent andrew harding earlier — but i want to

a catch forjonny bairstow, a wicket for chris woakes. now, what about steve smith?ency of this situation — with poor weather forecast at the weekend, things needed to happen here while the sun was shining. fast bowler mark wood — lbw? no, said the umpire. yes, counted the replay on review. england had smith for a1, new man in. bowling at travis head often meant bowling at travis's head. it's intimidating — it's a tactic, both batter and bowler acknowledge it. here was marnus labuschagne — lovely afternoon for batting. labuschagne on 51. now, hang on. here comes the review, there's the lbw. england reaction to the right, watch labuschagne's head drop on the left. and remember that tactic to travis head? well, here's the idea — a message tojoe root, and that was stuart broad's 600th test match wicked. in a sport of statistics, that number, this career — outstanding. it doesn't bother mitchell marsh, he'll hit anyone for four. marsh made 51, but look how he fell, and look atjonny bairstow. take that, doubters. yeah, england have worked very hard to create chances and t

resumed on 135 without loss and lost three wickets in the first hour of the morning session — chris woakesagain 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 he 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 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 hi

chris woakes with a faint touch just before lunch the last of them. 142-7.situation of the series, australia 2-0 situation of the series, australia 2—0 out, means this is in a match england have to win. the situation of ben stokes, we know he is not fit enough to bowl in this test match, england are desperately hoping he is fit enough to bat this afternoon. what could rescue england now? only really an astonishing afternoon of ben stokes batting. he did it here at headingley four years ago. he did it at lord'sjust at headingley four years ago. he did it at lord's just a few days ago but i think he will be really frustrating for so many fans here that we are already clutching at that we are already clutching at that in this test match. ben stokes will resume 27 not out and at least one working leg. studio:, joe wilson, thank you, watching at headingley. now, this has been a feature on our roads for half a century — regularly topping the list of the most popular cars in the uk. it is of course the ford fiesta — it is in fact the only car i ever owned, make of

usman khawaja there top scorer — before he was bowled by chris woakes towards the end of day 2.ain the ashes, so will be eager for play to get going, once the weather eases. they will be eager for play to get going once the weather eases. if it eases. we are waiting eagerly. and that's all the sport for now. back now to our main story, on washington's decision to supply ukraine with cluster bombs — a weapon that is banned more than 100 countries around the world. sir richard shirreff, former nato deputy supreme commander europe, told the bbc earlier that these cluster munitions are supplied because the west did not give the weapons kyiv asked for, for months. to those allies who are complaining or criticising president biden's timely decision to give these munitions to ukraine, ukraine has been crying out for ammunition for months. if what ukraine had wanted and needed had been given right from the start, instead of the incremental drip approach that has characterised so much of the capability, ukraine may not be the same position. they should look to themselves and to the exten

a catch forjonny bairstow, a wicket for chris woakes. now, what about steve smith?ngs needed to happen here while the sun was shining. fast bowler mark wood — lbw? no, said the umpire. yes, countered the replay on review. england had smith for 41. marnus labuschagne on 51. now, hang on. here comes the review, there's the lbw. england reaction to the right, labuschagne's reaction on the left. travis head eventually did what england wanted, mis—hit to joe root and that was stuart broad's 600th test match wicket. in a sport of statistics, an outstanding number, but it's a team game. you want to achieve milestones in test match wins. i think they always mean a lot more when you manage to take wickets in test match wins and as a team, we've had a pretty decent day. mitchell marsh will hit anyone for four. he made 51, but watch the catch to dismiss him. 299—8 at the close, work to do, butjonny bairstow vindicated. joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. lovely weather at old trafford, i wonder what the fortunes

it was a day that was left to bowlers chris woakes and mark wood to drag the hosts over the line in pursuitreak before the fourth test at old trafford starts on wednesday, 19thjuly. look away now if you don't want to know the results of the formula 1 race. max verstappen has won the british formula 1 grand prix at silverstone. the red bull driver took his sixth successive win this season and his second at the british grand prix. he was followed by two british drivers — mclaren's lando norris, who finished second, and lewis hamilton, who came third for mercedes. cows are one of the biggest producers of the greenhouse gas methane in the uk, but pioneering research could help limit their emissions by using a natural plant extract. it comes from daffodils and adding it to cattle feed seems to help improve the health of the animals' guts, cutting down on natural methane production. globally, livestock produces an estimated fourteen percent of greenhouse gas emissions. the substance was tested in a laboratory using an artificial cow stomach and it led to a 30% cut in methane. let's return to our

chris woakes was the man playing a supporting role, all the way until it was his turn to hit the winninghink before the fourth test begins. it is going to be good, for our dressing room and the aussies as well. it has been a very quick turnaround and they have been three very hard—fought games. everyone can do with the break. we know what we need to do. we need to win the next two games, it is pretty simple. i would have liked a few more on the board _ would have liked a few more on the board. depending 250 on a pretty good _ board. depending 250 on a pretty good wicket was always going to be hard _ good wicket was always going to be hard we _ good wicket was always going to be hard. we told well at times and a couple _ hard. we told well at times and a couple of— hard. we told well at times and a couple of good innings by them. harry— couple of good innings by them. harry brooke put a good partnership together~ _ harry brooke put a good partnership together. another great game, kept flipping _ together. another great game, kept flipping and flopping. the formula one world champion, max

chris woakes got four wickets and there were two for stuart broad who reached the milestone of six hundredwickets. with milestones, they don't really mean anything until you stop playing. you want to achieve milestones in chess match wins. they always mean a lot more when you manage to take wickets in chess match wins for them as a team we had a pretty decent day on a pretty decent cricket pitch as well. i'll let the ball in front of me that i got the 600 with. hit the middle of the bat a bit much for me today. it's been an interesting day as cricket. nice to have contributed to the team as well. our rocesses contributed to the team as well. our processes take it day by day and tried to — processes take it day by day and tried to win that day for us today was obviously getting sent in again. it was _ was obviously getting sent in again. it wasjust— was obviously getting sent in again. it wasjust about was obviously getting sent in again. it was just about putting up the back of— it was just about putting up the back of our best foot forward for the up _ back of our best foot forward for th

chris woakes again, catching from crawley once more. mitchell starc gone.he? on his final day of cricket in the gripping finale of the series, broad made his impact by taking the ninth wicket, and like hundreds of others in his career. when you begin a date thinking, i'm not sure what will happen next, and you still have the emotion at about 6:26pm you know it has been a proper date of test match cricket until i tell you what has just happened? stuart broad has just taken the final australian wicket for england to win this test match. right now behind me at the 0val, he is walking off to the applause of the crowd and his family and every team—mate patting him on the back because we will never see that again. what will happen in the next few minutes is that australia will lift the ashes urn because we know the series has finished at 2—2 and they will retain the ashes but if england have done something over the last six weeks to when your heart, they've done the job they set out to do. because the broader point of all this is to promote this version of the sp

moeen ali, chris woakes and mark wood are all included.hilst ollie pope is out for the rest of the series after dislocating his right shoulder at lord's. the magical thing would be to win the game and keep the ashes alive to be honest. don't not what it is about headingley but you can look back at certain things which have happened here and i don't know why it seems to do that butjust, i don't know, the momentjust sort of happens and something happens. yes, so. we have got some very fond memories here as an england team, i'm sure supporters have got fond memories here are spectators as well. the western terrace is something else, it is like the hollies at edgbaston, the atmosphere when it gets going towards the end of the day is something else and when we are on top here, they get going with arsenal but even when things are not going our way they are always there with us and it's just an amazing atmosphere here at headingley. england women are in action this evening against australia, desperate for a win if they're to have any chances of s
