jennie gow reporting there. just over half way through and wales‘ geraint thomas still has a healthy overall lead. he finished safely in the main pack on stage 13. which was won by slovakia's peter sagan on the line. it's sagan‘s third stage win and leaves him as the runaway leader in the sprinter‘s points race after the mountains took their toll on his rivals. so, thomas is still out in front zero one minute and 39 seconds ahead of his sky team mate chris froome. cricket‘s t20 blast continued tonight and lancashire are still top of their group after winning the roses match at old trafford by one run! after a rain delay, lancs captain liam livingstone scored 79 off 37 balls to help them set yorkshire a target of 176 from just 14 overs. in reply, yorkshire got very close, as england'sjoe root and adam lyth made half centuries but they fell just short — losing by that solitary run. it sparked amazing scenes at old trafford! it isa it is a really good advert for the competition. elsewhere there were wins for durham

jenny gow is at the hungaroring for us.arrying grand prix something nobody expected this morning when it was bright sunshine but then the rain came down and hamilton, the rain meister, proving his worth winning all those £40 million that his contract is supposedly worth around the hungaroring. he was absolutely blistering hot. nick parrott reports. in formula 1, it's usually the best car that wins but when it rains, the driver's skills come to the fore. the spray can leave them struggling to see. and daniel ricciardo got lost in the mess. choosing the wrong turns left the red bull rider stranded in 12th. lance stroll also struggled as he waltzed right into the wall. lewis hamilton likened the conditions to making things more like ballet. requiring a tiptoe approach. he'd failed to top the time sheets in any of the practise or qualifying sessions until the one that mattered. ferrari dominated until then but sebastian vettel was more than half a second behind mercedes in fourth. we couldn't have expected this. they been quick

jennie gow watched today's two practice sessions, which saw red bull's max verstappen lay down the surprised prix took a break last year but we are back here at the hockenheim and what a fantastic weekend it is going to be. we have already had a lot of action on and off the track, both of the mercedes drivers signing new contracts, lewis hamilton on a multi—million pound deal for two yea rs multi—million pound deal for two years and valtteri bottas, his teammate, signing up for another year with an option for another year on top of that. so, good news for mercedes but on the track it was red all who dominated, daniel ricciardo the fastest in the first session, max verstappen fastest in the second. however, there is a slight problem in that daniel ricciardo has to change some elements in his engine, and that power unit change means a grid penalty and he will start from last. that means there will be lots of overtaking hopefully from his point of view. however the qualifying, whatever he does, he will start from behind. max verstappen, however, does have a realistic chance of poll position, a
