On from double figures for many of us. On from double figures for many of us. Once the rain is away, no complaint about d day for the greater part of england and wales. Cloud filling in over Northern Ireland and for scotland, plenty of showers across central and western areas, but a little brightness in the east. That will get temperatures to 18 degrees, ona par will get temperatures to 18 degrees, on a par with today. If you have a plan for the evening for the size, rain could we be advisable. For monday, it is a mixture of cloud, the odd shower, and some sunshine in the odd shower, and some sunshine in the mix. Hello. This is bbc news. The headlines the government says it will keep a close eye on the situation at kensington and Chelsea Council as it prepares to elect a new leader. London mayor sadiq khan has called for commissioners to take over the running of the council. After days of intense fighting, iraqi forces have taken control of the main base of the so called Islamic State in the city of mosul. Thousands of people take to the streets in Central London to march against austerity. And the veteran film critic and former bbc presenter barry norman has died at the age of 83. Now on bbc news, sportsday. Hello and welcome to sportsday with me, olly foster, and james pearce. These are our headlines tonight its all square in new zealand. The lions stun the all blacks and take the series to a decider. Geraint thomas is the first welshman to wear the Yellow Jersey at the Tour De France. Chris froome is down in sixth after the first stage. Hales is the hero for notts as they win the royal london one day cup against surrey. Also coming up in the programme in a big summerfor womens sport we look at how the Football Association and the Youth Sport Trust are trying to keep girls in the game. Lots coming up over the next half an hour, but theres only one place to start, a wet and Windy Wellington where this morning the British And Irish Lions produced one of their Great Performances to level the series against new zealand and set up a decider in auckland next weekend. The all blacks were a man down after just 25 minutes when Sonny Bill Williams was sent off for foul play but the lions only clinched victory with a penalty in the last few minutes. 24 21 the final score. Our Sports Correspondent, katie gornall, was at the match. Many said it could not be done, not against the World Champions and certainly not here on home turf. The lions have pulled off one of the great victories in their history and kept the series alive. Judging by the scenes in the stands at the final whistle, it will take a while to sink in. Weather in rugby can be a great leveller and when youre up against the all blacks, it all helps. Defeat here and any dreams of the lions making history, and the dreams would be over, for once the rain was welcomed. Theyjust need to gel us from four nations into one team. This is a brand that has to live and theyre fighting for that brand. Up against the most fearsome Winning Machine in sport, the lions had been set up for a bruising encounter but it takes more than brute force to knock the all blacks off their stride, Beauden Barrett rarely falters. The conditions made even the basics a challenge but if there was tension, it certainly wasnt in the mind of owen farrell who finished this as if he was playing in the park. In such a cauldron, cool heads were needed, not this. Sonny Bill Williams becoming the first all black to be sent off in 50 years. Now it was time to be bold. Often much of what toby faletau does goes unnoticed, not this time. Any lion will tell you its better to be the hunter than the hunted and with their tails up, conor murray seized his chance, and with the scores level in the final minute, the lions needed something, a final kick, a final roar, a penalty that keeps the dream alive. This will be a victory that lives long in the memory. The lions have found their teeth. The lions have only won one series in new zealand, back in 1971. Ahead of this game, Sam Warburton said this would be the biggest challenge of his career. This is what he had to say after the match. I know we were against 14 men. We have to be prepared for a tough encounter next week. We will be against 15 men, more likely. We will have to step it up but i am very proud of that defensive effort. You can talk all the tactics in the world, but sometimes, it is down to desire, to get off your line, and put in some collisions. We had that. That was the biggest difference from last week. The lions know there are areas they can improve on. Discipline was not great at times but they will take an enormous sense of satisfaction from the fact they prevented new zealand from crossing the line and scoring a try. That is something that the new zealand coach, steve hansen, is not used to. We got from them what we expected. How did it affect the game . It is hard to know when you only have 14 men on the pitch. Certainly they came with a plan, and in the first 20 minutes, they took it to us. Unfortunately, just after that, we lost sonny. It had a major effect on what happened next. Regardless of all that, i think the lions played well enough to win and they deserved it. We go to 1 1 and the Series Decider in auckland which will get it sorted. We should get excited about that. Against the odds, the lions have something to play for next weekend, but now they travel to queenstown on the south island for a few days rest before they refocus on what will be the biggest game of their careers. Katie gornall my dryad by the time she gets to eden park this time next week. Might dry out by the time. So torrential rain in wellington, and it was also very wet in dusseldorf for The Grand Depart in the Tour De France. It was a 14 kilometre time trial, the first time in 30 years that the tour has started in germany. This is the route for this years tour.

There are three summit finishes, another time trial towards the end in marseilles before they head for the Champs Elysees onjuly 23rd. Chris froome is the reigning champion, hes on for a hat trick of titles, but he was left in the shade by his Team Sky Team mate Geraint Thomas who won his first tour stage. Our Sports CorrespondentRichard Conway is there for us. It is an overcast day in dusseldorf, but Geraint Thomas, he is smiling because tonight he is wearing the Yellow Jersey. It was a because tonight he is wearing the yellowjersey. It was a dominant performance in the opening stage of the Tour De France 2017. He is tonights leader. Chris froome will be happy with his performance, solid given the conditions on the road. With the story of the race, here is oui with the story of the race, here is our reporter. Ahead of chris froome, 21 stages, one of the most gruelling tests in sport. Three weeks of strength and endurance across four countries as he attempts to claim yet another Yellow Jersey. The Tour De France started in a damp dusseldorf. A 14km time trial through the City Streets Made Slippery by the rain. Spains Alejandro Valverde crashing out of the race on one of the first corners. Chris froome was one of the last riders out. By the time he started, his team mate, Geraint Thomas, had set a great pace, 16 minutes and four seconds. Home favourite tony martin was tipped by many to go close but after going out too quickly, he faded in the final stages, eight seconds slower than the welshman. Chris froome was never likely to win today but it was about coming through the stage Unscathed For General Classification riders. As he prepares himself for the challenges ahead, the rest of the team and thomas celebrate. They are packing up in dusseldorf. They are packing up in dusseldorf. The Tour De France will leave tomorrow morning, but Geraint Thomas is delighted with his performance in what were very difficult conditions. I caught what were very difficult conditions. Icaught up what were very difficult conditions. I caught up with him a short while ago. You could see what this means to him. Amazing, it is the stuff of dreams. The Tour De France got me into cycling is a ten year old, i remember running home from school to watch the last ten p m. To be on The Other Side of the camera, to ta ke The Other Side of the camera, to take the jersey, it is incredible. Last ten kilometres. To finally win a stage and the yellowjersey is massive. Geraint thomas will wear yellow tomorrow as the Tour De France leaves dusseldorf. He will be happy to enjoy as much time as he can in the Yellow Jersey, but to enjoy as much time as he can in the yellowjersey, but the game plan has not changed, it is to support chris froome, his team leader, in his quest for a fourth Tour De France title. That will not change, he says, but he will enjoy this moment. Chris froome is in sixth place, a solid performance, and conservative giving the conditions. He has valuable seconds on his main rival, richie porte. It starts again tomorrow when it goes from dusseldorf to liege. The 2017 Tour De France is under way. There you are, youre all up to date with the Tour De France. Lets catch up with todays cricket news now, james. The first piece of silverware of the domestic Cricket Season has been won by nottinghamshire. Theyve beaten surrey in the royal london one day cup final at lords. Batting first, surrey posted a score of 297 from their 50 overs, leaving notts needing 298 for victory. They won by 4 wickets thanks to the highest ever one day score at lords by england batsman alex hales. Joe lynskey reports. A day when team success owes so much to one player. One day cup glory for nottinghamshire, built around the bat of alex hales. Drama came to the final in the first ball, surreys jason roy relieved and reprieved. At the home of cricket, even the simplest of catches can get messy. But notts held onto an important one. Kumar sangakkaras form this season meant that restricting him to 30 felt like a breakthrough. Mark stoneman surviving early on, capitalising with the century. That helped surrey to 297, but alex hales was already poised. One day cricket at its best, a century injust 83 balls. In effect, alex hales was doing it on his own. As his team mates fell around him, his became the crucial wicket, but he survived. Unmista kably, alex hales was the matchwinner. A trophy his team will keep, but it is an innings to savour. England have named their squad for the first test against south africa at lords next week. Gary ballance has been recalled. The yorkshire captain was dropped after a poor series against bangladesh in october but hes the Second Highest run scorer in this Seasons County championship, averaging over 100. The womens cricket world cup continues tomorrow with four more games. Englands women play sri lanka at taunton in what will be their third match of the competition. Theyve had one win and one defeat so far. Its going to be a memorable day for anya shrubsole, playing in front of friends and family at her home ground. I think it is nice to play at home because you get familiarity of the surroundings. It is different, world cup, from a normal tour. Lots more people around, more going on. It is different from regulation home tour, but the opportunity to a world cup in your home country, it gives peoplesfamilies a chance to watch, so peoplesfamilies a chance to watch, so it isa peoplesfamilies a chance to watch, so it is a really nice experience. Wimbledon starts on monday. There are still Question Marks over the fitness Ofjohanna Konta who hurt her back in a fall at eastbourne this week, and of course andy murray, who pulled out of two exhibition matches this week with a sore hip. Murrays been practising at the All England Club today and our tennis correspondent Russell Fuller has been keeping a very close eye on him. This is andy murrays second practice session of the day. It is certainly an intense session. He is hitting the ball with more conviction than he was yesterday, when he returned to the court for the first time in three days. But quite clearly he is still limping visibly between points. His team are very positive, at least outwardly, about his chances of being competitive here over the next couple of weeks, but andy murray is still a long way away from where he would like to be at the start of a grand slam. You have to bear in mind that he is the sort of person who is in these championships to win them. We may well learn more tomorrow when he is due to speak to the bbc but he is certainly giving It Everything to be as fit as he can for the start on monday afternoon. Novak djokovic has completed the ideal warm up for wimbledon by winning his first title since january. He beat gael monfils in straight sets at eastbourne. That was after Karolina Pliskova won the womens tournament by defeating caroline wozniaki. Tim hague watched both matches. When one of sports superstars steps out in eastbourne, it is a moment to capture, but to make this a picture perfect week for Novak Djokovic he would have to get past one of the most unpredictable characters in tennis. The 12 time grand slam champion had no problems in the first set. He has improved in every match on the Sunny South Coast and this proved no different, simply too good for gael monfils, he outlined his wimbledon credentials with some sparkling form, but the second was not so simple. First there was the slip then the magnificence of his monfils. Skilled and good natu red in equal measure. Yet he failed to take numerous Break Point Opportunities and the number one seed made him pay, 5 4 on serve soon became 6 4 to the serbian. Game, set, match and the title. A first grass Court Tournament away from wimbledon for djokovic and you would not bet against him taking home the big one in 15 days either. Earlier on, Caroline Wozniacki and pliskova put in their final preparations for the grass of sw19. On this form, pliskova will be a contender. The world number three looked in fine form throughout the match. That is a beautiful touch to wrap things up. Hardly troubled on serve. Wozniacki was at her best in glimpses but she could not compete with her czech opponent. Pliskova secured a solitary break in the second set and that was enough for her to serve out the match. I know it will be very tough to do well at wimbledon. This week was tough. We had lots of matches. Thank god i had a day off yesterday. I am going to try and go step by step. Hopefully i can go far. The last czech player to win at eastbourne was jana novotna in 1998. Two weeks later, she won wimbledon. So lots of talking points with wimbledon fortnight almost upon us. Lets get more from eastbourne now from john inverdale. On the evil of the evil of wimbledon sam smith is here to offer her thoughts on who might be champion in a weeks time. On the eve of the eve. Still none the wiser on andy murray and his health, what are your thoughts on what might happen . Everyone is looking at roger federer. It is incredible what hes doing. You wouldnt have thought a couple of years ago, a year ago, that he would come in as the favourite, just extraordinary. I think we have to see about a few of the younger guys as well. Andy, it will be very, very tough with everything that has gone on over the last couple of weeks with injury. Im sure that was part of what happened at queens, that early loss. I think we might see some of the younger guys going pretty well, alexander zverev, younger guys going pretty well, alexandeererev, dominic younger guys going pretty well, alexander zverev, dominic thiem, they will be in the mix. And maybe even some older players who come out. Maybe gael monfils, who has been playing so well at eastbourne. I think been playing so well at eastbourne. Ithinka been playing so well at eastbourne. I think a really interesting. Not a favourite. And in the womens, ten 01 a favourite. And in the womens, ten ora a favourite. And in the womens, ten or a dozen . Definitely ten. A few less tha n or a dozen . Definitely ten. A few less than paris but we have to draw the net wide as Serena Williams is in there, Maria Sharapova is absent. Victoria azarenka will be back but she is not as fit as she could be. Johanna konta, if it will she have a chance . She has a chance, not her number one surface, that the hard court. Youve seen how shes played here, some of the best and she has ever played. Angelique kerber and pliskova. Angelique kerber and pliskova. The strength in womens tennis is like it has never been before. Expect a few surprises. But we will and you can expect them where ever you have the facility to watch, whether on television, the radio, online, on your watch. Wimbledon is absolutely everywhere on every single platform. Not sure about your watch and one of those platforms is right here on the news channel. Wimbledon sportsday will be on every day of the championships at 6 30pm, with all the days action and talking points, and plenty of big name guests. You need a new watch lets round up some of the days other news for you. Englands, jodi ewart shadoff, is very well placed in the womens pga championship in chicago. She sank five birdies in a blemish free round of 66 to move to within one shot of the leaders, who are se young kim and danielle kang. This is the second womens major of the season. Englishman Andy Sullivan went round in 68 at the french open. Hes on 7 under par and that is just one shot offjoint leaders Peter Uihlein and alexander bjork. The 6 1 shot capri, trained by aidan obrien and ridden by seamie heffernan, won the irish derby at the curragh just ahead of cracksman. Another obrien horse, the 2 1 favourite wings of eagles, who won the epsom derby, was third. And there was heartbreak for the super leagues bottom club leigh centurions, as this last minute try by Julian Bousquet gave Catalan Dragons a 40 36 victory. Englands women are playing their final friendly ahead of this months european championship. Theyre in copenhagen playing denmark where its just approaching full time and its1 1. Ellen white the scorer for england. Womens football has been steadily growing in popularity, helped by having a team at the london olympics, and then englands third place finish at the 2015 world cup. But there are still concerns that many young girls are leaving the sport when they reach their teenage years. Alex gulrajani has more. When a former England International turns up at school, Everyone Wants a picture. Rachel brown finnis has played at the top of the game, but the day job now is slightly different. Speaking to teenagers at a school in manchester, her storys perfect to inspire the next generation. Playing for your country, in the olympics, in front of 78,000 people at wembley and winning. They got to see for themselves the skills that got rachel to the top, a journey she hopes can be followed. I think football for girls has become more normalised. Its not, ooh, look, womens football on tv, it becomes a normal sort of regular thing. Some girls who ive spoken to today have previously played football, some girls whove never played football before. So youve them here in year 8, where theyre willing to try something new. Womens football in the uk is growing year on year and participation levels are going up, but that needs to be maintained. Thats something that the Youth Sport Trust are invested in. We see lots of girls dropping out, not with the same engagement and motivation. As you move into teenage years, theres lots of different pressures. Obviously body image, Self Confidence and self esteem are massive. Making sure that we offer opportunities, that allow girls to address some of those barriers to participation is really important. The stars of tomorrow could be here and a good summerfor england mayjust keep up their interest. To have a successful england team, whether it be rugby, cricket, football, mens, womens, i think the whole nation are sort of waiting for that. I think england womens football seniors are on the cusp of that. So i dont think theres any pressure that theyre not ready to handle. So success could see more and more young girls taking up the sport, and sticking with it. Cheering. There has been another goal in denmark. Ellen white has scored again. They are in the final minute and englands leading 2 1. The final spots in the british team for next months World Athletics Championships will be taken at the team trials in birmingham this weekend. We have had the first day. World champions, like mo farah, or Diamond League series winners, such as laura muir, dont have to qualify but weve had two very competitive 100m finals today, with a surprise in the mens race. Favourite cj ujah withdrew, and in his absence, Reece Prescod came home in first. The 21 year old confirming his spot at the world champs, along with James Dasaulu who finished second. The third spot will be decided by british selectors with adam gemelli, ujah and Nethaneel Mitchell bla ke all in contention. I felt myself getting to the line and ijust dipped and lucky i got the win. Words cant describe how happy i am. Im just glad, over this last year its been a real struggle for me to get back to fitness, but im happy that now i can get ready, get Ready For The World champs in london. The womens 100 was won by asha phillip, her fourth british title. Daryll neita came second, while dina asher smith, the british Record Holder who is returning from injury, finished in fourth. Sailing has been in the news a lot recently with the conclusion of the americas cup, and if thats inspired you to take up the sport, have a look at this. Its the sport of foiling, in which you fly along above the water. Its becoming increasingly accessible, so much so that our man mike bushell has been to have a go. Is it a boat or is it a plane . Well, it tries to be a bit of both. Its the boat that is trying to bring the thrill of the americas cup racing to all of us. Up on the foils and flying over the water and yet at much lower speeds and without the danger. It changes the game massively, in terms of how much fun you can have at a lower wind speed. The kids are going to love this. Until now, the sport of foil racing has only been for the most daring and experienced sailors, because get it wrong in the air and the consequences can be serious. Every time you make a small mistake, you capsize of the boat and most people have only got three or four capsizes in them before theyre terribly tired and its all too much. This is a new challenge. The london 2012 paralympic gold medallist helena lucas is used to sailing in the water, and ijoined her on her third attempt at this for a bit of a crash course. Whoa incredible just flying across the water now. We are not even touching the surface. Whoa we have lift off as you saw there, that is what makes this a lot safer than previous attempts at this for novices, because we crashed into the water but we did not go over. The difference is, normally in a boat, the faster you go, the noisier it gets, but when you get up on these foils, it suddenly goes all quiet and there is this sense of speed and this flying through the air thats absolutely amazing. The only guaranteed way to flip these boats over is back on dry land. Looking at it underneath, it looks a something out of star wars half plane, half boat. It is that, because it does have the float so it is a boat but the whole point of this is were trying to get it to fly. And this bit here . This is the automatic height control. This gauges how high the boat is out of the water. You should not have to worry about the boat capsizing, do be prepared to get rather wet. Thats all from sportsday. The lions have levelled the series against the all blacks, thomas is wearing yellow at the Tour De France. Therell be more sport here on bbc news throughout the evening. Goodbye for now. Hello once again. It hasnt been too bad start at the weekend, hadzic . Not quite plain sailing because we have this Weather Front attached to an old area of low pressure which ads and gusty wind. Drooping across Scotla Nd Ads and gusty wind. Drooping across scotland and Northern Ireland and then late on in the day, has produced rain into parts of western england and wales and will continue its journey further south. All the while severe winds in scotland and Northern Isles. At the same time, in the early hours of sunday, what is left of the Weather Front will produce rain in the south. If you need to rain in your garden, this is propping up the feature that will solve that. As we start the day could be fairly dank in the south east. As we get into the heart of the day, that cloud and rain will push away, the winds will slowly ease across the Northern Isles and then a glorious day for the greater pa rt then a glorious day for the greater part of england and wales. More cloudy and Northern Ireland but not without a chance brightness here in there. The bulk of the showers as he seeks running into central and western parts of scotland. A noticeable breeze, a coolish feel to the coasts. And on a par with where we have been through saturday elsewhere. If you have a plan for the evening, i dont think the weather gets in the way. Except maybe for scotland, where there will be at the mixture of the odd sunny speu be at the mixture of the Odd Sunny Spell and shower activity. The tail end of the Weather Front slumps further south, helping to spawn some showers across england and wales through the day. That weather freaked out towards wont be an issue for wimbledon, nor the front coming down from the north. There will be a fair amount of cloud but i hopeful that will break up and it should be almost uninterrupted play at wimbledon during the course of the day. I want to give you a sense of how many showers there are. They are few and far between. Another day where i think you willjust get on with things. A bit of a different story on monday into tuesday, this atla ntic story on monday into tuesday, this Atlantic Frontal System will go through the heart of the British Isles at some speed. High pressure tumbling in on wednesday for many, settling things down, though just the chance by that stage, having seen the chance by that stage, having seen the rain for some on tuesday, that there could be some sharp showers in the south east. This is bbc news. The headlines at 8. 00pm. The government says it will keep a close eye on kensington and Chelsea Council, after its leader quit over the Grenfell Tower fire. The absolute priority remains looking after the victims, their families and friends, making sure they get everything they need. And in doing so, when it comes to the local council, nothing is off the table. Residents in the community who have been affected by the fire say help is there, but only if they look for it. Especially for people like in the tower, a lot of them are still not out there yet. They are still in bereavement and facing trauma. So to get out and get the word out to them is very difficult. After days of intense fighting, iraqi forces have taken control of the main base of the so called Islamic State in the city of mosul. Thousands of people take to the streets in Central London to march against austerity
