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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Victor
