We have put a lot of pressure on ourselves so we did that because when we get to these moments, we have practised it for 16 months. When we get to these moments, we have practised it for 16 months. Already through to the quarter finals are two time winners germany but var is influential once again. And afghanistan fall agonisingly short of pulling off the biggest shock of the cricket world cup, as india eek out a win. Also coming up in the programme. Another win for andy murray. Whos hip is getting a thorough work out as he Feliciano Lopez play back to back matches at queens. And Lewis Hamilton takes pole for the french grand prix, as mercedes continue their domination. Hello and welcome to sportsday, im chetan pathak. The knock out stage of the womens world cup is under way well bring you an update on todays matches but first, lets go to valenciennes, where england face cameroon tommorrow for a place in the quarter finals. 0ur reporterjane dougall is there youve just been in the press conference with phil neville and jill scott, how did they seem . Plenty of confidence in the camp . They are very confident and i guess they have every reason to be. They topped their group, through to the knockout stages. And they are facing a side who are 46 in the world. We we re a side who are 46 in the world. We were at training earlier today and it isa were at training earlier today and it is a very relaxed mood in the camp. All players are fully fit as well. Which is a benefit considering injuries. So why shouldnt they be confident . It is a small town here in valenciennes. The team are staying centrally, we saw them have coffee earlier. It was one today. That will be an issue for tomorrows match, the heat. It is forecast to be 30 degrees. So the stadium, which holds about 25,000 will heat up quite considerably. That may be an issue for the players when they take to the pitch. Phil neville as you mentioned has been speaking ahead of this match against cameroon and, because england are found in the world, they go into this match as favourites, which perhaps puts pressure on them, but phil says that something as players enjoy. Since taking the job, we have put pressure on ourselves, so taking the job, we have put pressure on ourselves, so we taking the job, we have put pressure on ourselves, so we did that because when we get to moments like this, we have practised it for 16 months. Going out there, as the favourites, as the team that Everyone Wants to beat, and being able to perform under that pressure so i think our players thrive on that night. Because we have practised it for since ive got the job. Because we have practised it for since ive got the job. England have a 100 record so far, of course, thats what matters, but theyve not blown anyone away yet . I would agree they have not got out of second gear yet, but they havent needed to. They have conceded a couple of goals, but in the opening match against scotland, that was a lwa ys match against scotland, that was always going to be quite a High Pressure match because it is the old enemy. Phil neville was quite angry with the way his players performed in the second half. The same with japan. Sorry, the same with argentina. They didnt play quite as well as perhaps he would have liked to have seen. However, they have not needed to get out of second gear and i would imagine the cameron game is going to be a very, very different match to the pre 3. First and foremost, cameroon are very physical side, so phil neville will have to take that into account when he set up his starting line up. We spoke tojill scott when he set up his starting line up. We spoke to jill scott little earlier, the last time the england players had anything to do with an england match against cameroon was in 2012 at the olympics when team gb plates cameroon. In that match, team gb beat cameroon 3 0, and jill scott scored and mentioned how physical a they were. She said they would be prepared for that. Cameron will throw everything at this match, so we think we need to take into consideration that there could be some reckless challenges, some injuries, hopefully not, but that is something phil neville says he is prepared for and it is something he is taking into account. It will be fascinating to see how england deal with that physical threat. By contrast, the usa have been totally dominant, theyre still the stand out favourites. I would say so, similarly to england, they have not come up against any major challenges as yet. Their opening match against thailand, they beat them 13 0. The top to the group, they have been performing well. But they have not had any challenges. What will be fascinating is if they win their next couple of matches, then they are on the same side of the draw as england. So the two could meet in the semifinal. Now we havent seen the semifinal. Now we havent seen the best of them yet, but if you think back to federer, england drew with the usa 22. Think back to federer, england drew with the usa 2 2. February. I would never underestimate the us. They have so many quality players, some teams peek at world cup and maybe they have been saving themselves for this world cup. If the two of them meet in the semifinals, i think that will be a fascinating match. Potentially, england have two very tough matches coming up that they will have to get past first. Fascinating to see what happens. Thank you jane in valenciennes. If england make it through tomorrow, theyll face either norway or australia, and you can watch that match live on bbc two at 8pm tonight. We already have one quarter finalist. Two time winners germany are into the last eight after a comfortable 3 0 win over nigeria in grenoble. However, var was once again influential, as Miriam Walker khan reports. The last time nigeria beat a European Team was 20 years ago. 20 minutes and, it was bought who burst nigerias bubble. A cornerfinds its way to her head and into the net. Not a bad way to earn your 100th cap. Minutes later, i nigerian player caught the knee of german and vr player caught the knee of german and vr mark all the penalty. Back of the net. The germans in full control. Easy as one, two, three. Hard var shaped pill for nigeria to swallow, but picture perfect for germany who have still not conceded. Afghanistan narrowly missed out on causing the biggest shock in the history of the cricket world cup. As india ground out an 11 run win in southampton. Mohammed shami the hero with a hat trick in the final over. The result means india have lea pfrogged england into 3rd in the standings. Adam wild watched the drama. The cricketing journey of afghanistan has been a sporting success story. Being amongst the games elite, a triumph. But five games and five defeats. The world cupfairy games and five defeats. The world cup fairy tale is flagging. Pulling against the mighty unbeaten india, it would take Something Special to put a positive spin on things. Still, spin is something we do rather well. India struggling, southampton suddenly stunned and silent. 0thers southampton suddenly stunned and silent. Others had more luck, the iu ns silent. Others had more luck, the runs still have to find, wickets a lwa ys runs still have to find, wickets always in peril. This was an afghanistan always in peril. This was an afg ha nista n store of always in peril. This was an afghanistan store of surprising strength, and for a moment it was catching. The target, just 225. Two heads needed. Not like that. But this was afg hanistans heads needed. Not like that. But this was afghanistans chance to make their mark on the world game. And it looked like a chance they mightjust and it looked like a chance they might just take. The and it looked like a chance they mightjust take. The impossible, seemingly now a little less so. Nerves and pressure can do funny things. Going for glory, finding only a safer and enhance. Wickets falling, their task growing. It was just too much. Afghanistan getting agonisingly close to one of the biggest shocks this or any world cup. A hat trick ending afghanistan stream, for india, celebrations and relief. New zealand are currently second in the world Cup Standings and will be all but through to the knockouts if they can beat west indies at old trafford. Kane williamson scored his second century of the tournament as he hit 148 offjust154 balls. The west indies were set 292 to win, and after losing two early wickets things have steadied. Chris gayle and Shimron Hetmeyer have passed 50. Its currently 138 for 2. 146 for 4. And you can keep across that game on radio 5 live sports extra and the bbc sport website, where youll also find in play highlights. Still to come on sportsday. A modern take on the modern pentathlon. Weve been to bath to try it out. World number 38 gilles simon is into the final of queens tomorrow after beating daniil medvedev. It was another gruelling three setter for the frenchman, hes gone the distance in all four of his matches this week. But he eventually got the better of medvedev after over two and a half hours on court. Well lopez is getting a real work out today as he went straight back out on court to finish his doubles quarterfinal with his partner andy murray. They were leading the british pair of dan evans and ken skupski by a set to love overnight, and they took the second on a tie break, as murrays return to full strength after his hip surgery continues. And the pair stayed on court for their semifinal, against Henri Kontinen and john peers, these are live pictures from queens, there must be a lot of tired legs out there its going with serve so far you can watch this match on the red button, bbc sport website and app. And we have two britons through to the wheelchair final. Alfie hewett beat Dermot Bailey to earn a meeting with his doubles partner gordon reid tomorrow. Roger federers preparations for wimbledon are going well. Hes through to the final of the atp event in halle, after a straight sets victory over Frances Pierre hugues herber. Federer, the top seed, will face david goffin in what will be his fourth final this year, and if he wins, itll be the 10th time hes won at halle. He isa he is a great guy. I really like his game. He has one of the best backhand in the game. Superfast game. He has one of the best backhand in the game. Super fast on his feet with great putting on a Court Matters easily difficult. He played a great match today to stop his opponents one. I think i am going to have a tough final anyway at this stage, but particularly against david who i have a lot of respect for. The french open champion ash barty could become world number one tomorrow. She beat Barbara Strycova in straight sets to reach the final of the wimbledon warm up event in birmingham, where shell playjulia gorges. If barty wins, shell replace naomi osaka at the top of the standings. Mercedes complete dominance of the formula one season looks set to continue into its 8th race, the french grand prix. As championship leader Lewis Hamilton took pole position, just ahead of his teammate valteri bottas, but it was another frustrating day for ferraris sebastian vettel, as david domb reports. If fridays practice was dominated by mercedes, qualifying looked destined to be similar. Valteri bottas finished the fastest and was again on top for much of saturday. Going into 03. The problems persist for sebastian vettel, not even 24 andi for sebastian vettel, not even 24 and i was after his canadian race review request was rejected, final qualifying issues to stabilise his progress. I suspected technical issue forcing him to pit falling further behind the leaders. His ferrari team mate will be third. When it mattered, Lewis Hamilton improved on his time. It will be the championship leader at the start of the grid. He is on pole for the third time this season, it is the 86 time he started an f1 race at the front and the 60th with mercedes. Time he started an f1 race at the front and the 60th with mercedeslj front and the 60th with mercedes. would say it is probably a more enjoyable discovery, qualifying session. Especially when you get your first lap session. Especially when you get yourfirst lap on session. Especially when you get your first lap on the q3, session. Especially when you get your first lap on the 03, you session. Especially when you get yourfirst lap on the 03, you are like, iam yourfirst lap on the 03, you are like, i am 0k, yourfirst lap on the 03, you are like, iam ok, i yourfirst lap on the 03, you are like, i am ok, i am done. And then you know you go quick at the next thing, it is strange but if you are behind you think i have to catch, your psyche shifts. Englands jordan smith leads after round 3 of golfs Bmw International in munich. He backed up yesterdays 67 with a round of 66 to move to 13 under par for the tournment. Hes one shot clear of the chasing pack, which includes countryman matt fitzpatrick. I won iwon in i won in germany a couple of years ago so i like germany at the moment. Hopefully i can take everything into account for tomorrow. I missed the first cut in denmark couple of months ago, but apart from that, the game was still looking good that we cool game was still looking good that we cool.

This week the modern pentathlon World Cup Final takes place injapan and the british Team Includes the current mens world champion. But, if all five events feels a bit out of reach, theres now a safe way to try out the last two disciplines, running and shooting. Mike bushell went to bath to find out more. Its one of the oldest 0lympic sports, and in the 19th century was developed to test the skills of the ideal soldier the ability to run to and from battle, to shoot your opponent, to put them to the sword, to swim with power and speed and to get on an unknown horse and clear whatever obstacles get in your way. This is where my pentathlon challenge would end. In fact, the showjumping might put many off getting involved in this sport, but now theres a way for all of us to get a taste of what the athletes do. Now theres the laser run. Its still the finale for the elite pentathletes from team gb here, but its also a sport in its own right which is on tour for everyone to have a go at it this summer. Its simply running and shooting lasers. Youve got 50 seconds ah to hit the target five times. And the athletes have already gone. Running and shooting used to be separate events in pentathlon, but theyre now combined to make the last stages of a competition more exciting. Athletes have to run 800m, hit five targets and then repeat three more times. A scaled down version of laser run with shorter distances will now be taken around towns and cities this summer and the lasers are so safe, the athletes can run behind the targets as they lapped me. Its a fantastic sport because its relatively quick, the equipments provided for you and the safety of the lasers is brilliant because you can host it in schools and town centres and get a great atmosphere. Its the entry drug we hope for modern pentathlon, long term. We are hoping that with all these youngsters coming in to try laser run, theyll then get the idea of trying three or four different sports and then ultimately leading onto trying modern pentathlon. The athletes make it look so easy, but once id been running, making the targets turn green with an accurate shot was so much of a challenge. Its exciting because you can see where the winner or the leader is got your eye on them and you are trying to catch them but youve also got to keep composed in the shooting, because it can be won or lost on the shooting range. Before they even get to the laser run, theyve already been put through the mill starting with a 200m swim. Many of the british team heading to the world cup in tokyo this weekend started as swimmers. 0nce theyve dried off, though, they have to face 35 other opponents in the fencing. Its one strike now and you win. You have to be very tactical and committed for that one hit in one minute. Oh, its over, the bell has gone. Contest is done. Well done. These days, all five events are held one stadium overfive hours and with the laser run finale, it often comes down to the wire, like World Championships last year, whenjamie cooks french opponent just started celebrating a fraction too early. I can remember a lot of pain, thats all i can remember. 0bviously with the altitude in mexico city, i was really suffering. He looked at me afterwards and said, i was so stupid. I said, i cant disagree with that. Jamie would settle for a similar close finish and victory in the european championships here in bath this august. Lopez and murray have won the first set of the mens doubles at quins. This is light at the moment. Murray and his hip getting a real market. Back on court. At the moment, heading into tomorrows final. They have taken the first set against their opponents. They are at breakdown in the second set. You can follow all the action on the website. Thats all from sportsday. Well have more throughout the evening. A few of you may be hitting the beach later in the week. I find start to the day. Blue skies for many. Some fair cloud. Felt pleasa ntly many. Some fair cloud. Felt pleasantly warm. Very strong sunshine. We switch the blue skies for rather strongly once across parts of the uk during the next few days. Before the sunshine returns later in the week. By which stage we could be seen temperatures anywhere from the mid 20s to the low 30s. At the moment, High Pressure is with us but this area of low pressure creeping towards us will bring a change in the next few days. Also bringing increasingly humid air. You will notice that more towards the south west tonight. Partly clear skies, a bit more cloud to northern and mainland scotland. In the hebrides patchy rain. We will see rain into the islet cells and,. A stiff south westerly breeze eventually into wales, more widely into the afternoon as it will do in northern ireland. Elsewhere, some good sunny spells but things were cloud over, sunshine will turn hazy and later in the afternoon, maybe a few isolated storms across the highlands. Much of scotland and england will be dry for the bulk of the day. Mid teens across scotland, mid 20s across england. The humidity increases into tomorrow night. Sunday into monday, we could see some severe and torrential thunderstorm is also wales and midland into northern ireland. It will vary widely but when you see the worst of it, the risk of flooding. Persistent, torrential rain will split into scotland, with potential flooding. Travel disruption potential through the monday. The rest of england and wales and northern ireland, isolated tremor, mostly dry, a bit of a stifling day, high humidity. Temperatures 26 degrees not out of the question. Humidity in place through monday night into tuesday, one area of rain starts to clear its way northwards through 0rkney and shetland, will start to import some even more severe thunderstorms. Especially across england, pinpointing at this stage, is uncertain. A touch fresher on wednesday, but temperatures will climb widely for some. Possibly into the 30s. I will have more later. This is bbc news. The headlines at eight borisjohnson and jeremy hunt take part in the first of 16 hustings in front of the conservative Party Members who will choose which of them becomes the next prime minister. So just to be clear, youre not going to make any comment at all on what happened last night . I think thats pretty, thats pretty obvious from the foregoing, ian. Mrjohnson avoided answering questions about why the police were called to the flat he shares with his partner on thursday night. The two conservative leadership contenders also faced questions from tory Party Members, including their strategy for brexit. Leaving on october the 31st was, my words were eminently feasible, which was taken to mean that i wasnt100 determined to do it
