They were going smoothly with just 30 age runs with seven wickets in hand but then england turned the screw with Anya Shrubsole england turned the screw with Anya Shru Bsole completing a england turned the screw with Anya Shrubsole completing a six wicket hole to guide her side to glory. England win the world cup, it is not often you can say that. It is not only a victory for them but for Women Cricket as well and it may prove a seminal moment for women sport. Pure elation. I was it is better winning when you are out there with your team on the field. We have not one of the Prettiest At Times but tournament cricket is all about winning, it is about getting over the line. After 12 long years, there has been a lot of changes in the side. It is a lot of changes in the side. It is a good experience for them. I think it was a good game. I am very happy that girls put up a fight and not just gave it is only to the english side. At every point they have given it their best. Drama in abundance too at royal birkdale, where on a day of dropped shots and comebacks, Jordan Spieth won the open championship. Hes only 23 years old and already has three major titles to his name the Young American is fast becoming the sports hottest property, as ben croucher reports. Jordan spieth. He started the day leading, finished it winning. The bit in the middle if only it were that simple. Jordan spieths three shot lead had already evacuated by the time he had reached the 13th. That is his ball in the shrubbery. Miraculously he walked off with a bogey, and out of the lead. Birkdale was witnessing another spieth major meltdown. As Arnold Palmer said, though, success depends less on strength of body, more on strength of mind. Where many minds might have been muddled, spieths unscrambled. His tee shot on the next hole nearly went in. This never looked like missing. Birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie, and no catching him now. Spieth turns 2a on thursday with a third major title. The only other man to do that a certain jack nicklaus, and he won 18. Iam going i am going to thoroughly enjoy this. I look back at 15 and thought, i enjoyed it but i never really realise the significance until you kind of hit a low, a pitfall, to appreciate the high so much and this is as much of a high as i have ever experienced in my golfing life and am going to enjoy it more than i have enjoyed anything i have accomplished in the past. So spieths margin of victory was three shots in the end over his compatriot matt kuchar. As for rory mcilroy, he had missed the cut in three of his last four tournaments, and hasnt won a competition all year. But on sunday he finished with a 67 to share fourth with spains rafa Cabrera Bello on five under par. A good day. Played well. A step in the right direction compared to what has happened in the last few weeks. It feels technically got a bit better. I worked on a couple of things on my swing that felt or co mforta ble things on my swing that felt or comfortable in the last few days. So thats good. I need to keep working on those things and i do i heading in the right direction. There is another major coming up in three weeks time and i deal i am ready for that. I weeks time and i deal i am ready for that. I feel. Britains chris froome has been crowned Tour De France winner for a fourth time, and the third time in a row.

But from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. Hello. That was an up and down weekend. Many of us saw rain at some stage of the weekend. For some of us, it came from big clouds, threatening skies, and some intense downpours, but i think most of us saw some sunshine at some stage of the weekend, as well. In the sunshine, it wasnt too bad. But it is still up and down as we go through this week. That means we could see changeable weather on the way. Were going to try to turn things drier and warmer in the next couple of days. Not going to last, mind you. Unsettled from wednesday. Well all see some rain on wednesday, and the wind will be picking up, as well, during the second half of the week. Now, the area of low pressure that produced the downpours over the weekend still close by for monday, affecting parts of central and eastern england. Then weve got a bit of a gap, and were looking do developments in the atlantic to bring more of that unsettled weather from midweek. But from monday, cloudy, with outbreaks of rain affecting some central and eastern parts of the uk as we go through the day, from that area of low pressure, and a cool breeze, as well. Whereas the western side of the uk going to be a lovely day across South West England and wales. Long, sunny spells to be found here. But, through much of the midlands, south east england, east anglia, up through yorkshire into north east england, plenty of cloud around. The further east you are, into east anglia and the far south east, a few sunny spells among the clouds. Parts of yorkshire, to begin the day some outbreaks of rain. North east england bearing up quite well. Northern ireland, a few fog patches around to begin the day. Plenty of sunshine in Western Scotland. Rather cloudy, and low cloud at that, into the far north east of scotland, northern isles, hanging around during the day. And it is an East West Split for mondays weather. If youre underneath this cloud, it will feel quite cool, though it may brighten up. The odd shower in parts of east anglia and the far south east of england. But for wales, for western england, for northern ireland, and for northern scotland, in the sunshine it will be very pleasant. 25 celsius in glasgow, though a late day shower somewhere in Western Scotland cant be ruled out. As we go through monday evening, still some of those outbreaks of rain in the east of england, gradually beginning to pull away as we say goodbye to that area of low pressure. Still some cloud around, though, from it, as we begin the day on tuesday. Should start to break up, some sunny spells coming through again, and a gap between Weather Systems on tuesday. So take advantage of that, and enjoy the warmth in that sunshine, though it is still on the cool side for some along north sea coasts, with an onshore breeze. But here is that wet and windy Weather System coming in for wednesday. Well, it is the summer holidays. Doesnt look like that, though, on the chart here, and there will be Rain Spreading right across the uk, strengthening wind to near gale in the north west. And then for thursday and friday, some cooler and fresher air, sunny spells and showers. Welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in North America and around the globe. Im duncan golestani.
