nearly a third of a month worth of rain so it has been pretty wet and a festival rained off in west scotland. you can see a lot of cloud across the north—west, that is where the front bringing rain but it is pulling out of the way to the north—west and the sunnier skies in england and wales are starting to emerge northwards. brightening up for scotland and northern ireland. a few showers around, most of them probably not very heavy but it stays dry for england and wales with those sunny sties continuing. it becomes very hot indeed for some. temperatures could hit around 31. the hotspots probe are in south—east england but the heat pretty widespread today. mid to high 20s for many of us. overnight tonight we keep clear skies, tonight where it will start to turn increasingly humid as the night goes by, temperatures were northern ireland and england and wales not following very far. 18—20. scotland is a bit more comfortable, 13—16. the weekend has a sunshine and showers, the shower starting up on saturday across western areas. they will leap

north—eastwards into northern england and scotland where they could become really torrential. we talk about potential of many 50 millimetres of rain in the space of just a few hours, that is enough to cause localised flash flooding. it will go on for a month of rain, so that could cause big problems for one or two areas. the rain will be variable. some places will miss is once altogether. still hot across eastern england. temperatures rising from northern scotland where we could see highs of 27. wimbledon there is a chance of seeing a passing shower at some point tomorrow. through saturday night time, some pretty big storms for northern england and scotland. we will have to watch out with those. most of them will tend to clear out of the way but on sunday we might see a few storms coming in from france equipping eastern england, watch out for those, but otherwise most of the showers will move in from the south—west of the day goes by, some of them quite heavy. between the showers there will still be some sunshine and overall a fresherfeel be some sunshine and overall a fresher feel to the weather. temperatures into the low to mid 20s pretty widely. still warm in the

stage seven of the tour de france is under way, as mark cavendish looks for an all time stage win record. two—time wimbledon champion andy murray takes to centre court again today after an heroic performance against fifth seed stefanos tsitsipas. before that, top seed carlos alcaraz plays alexandre muller. later, we'll see two legends of the game go head—to—head, as defending champion novak djokovic takes on his old rival stan wawrinka. chetan pathak is there for us. chetan, impressive from andy murray last night, he's back on court later —

can he keep this good form up? that is the question we are all waiting for the answer for. we have been watching andy murray warm up in practice, just to see how he is moving. those watching last night will know the roar he lets out and the heart in mouth moment we all had, wondering if it was the hip again, the groin, the thigh. he did see out that set. he was 2—1 up in sets when the curfew met their match at the end last night. we will not know until the match starts. he is second up on centre court. andy murray, that dead set in particular, the way he held his serve. probably the way he held his serve. probably the best we have ever seen stefan offsets a pass play on grass, as well. it is a day of three british

men playing, because we will also see liam broady later, he put out the fourth seed yesterday. he is up against a man who reached the semifinals a couple of years ago. cameron norrie, he will take on christopher eubanks, the american. it's such a packed scheduled today, talk us through the other highlights we can look forward to. they talked about manic monday before they got rid of the middle sunday. because of the rain delays early on it is a packed schedule and we have second and third round matches. we can dip into court number one, if we can first of all. arena saddle anchor has her cut work out at the moment. she is taking on a croatian, not a player that we were expecting to trouble her, but she has a break—up on that one.

savile anchor is an australian open champion now. she is desperate to win this title. later we will see ons jabeur. aryna sabalenka aryna sa balenka is aryna sabalenka is very much the favourite in this one. let say she can bring herself back into this first set. she tries to make an impact on grass. a surface that she should do well on. she is set sweating down center court. carlos alcaraz is out, playing carlos muller. carlos alcaraz not happy

with the scheduler because he may well have to play today and tomorrow if he gets through the second round match against the frenchman. it is the first time they have played each other. it is the furthest thomas muller has been —— alexandre muller has been in a grand slam. i want to bring you up—to—date with what has been happening. petra kvitova is safely through to the next round. katie boulter plays tomorrow in the singles, herthird—round match. 0h, oh, we have lost them there. that is a shame because he was rounding up all of the day's play for us. thanks to him, anyway.

england are in big trouble at headingley. they have had a poor second day so far in the third test of the ashes, losing three cheap wickets. joe root and wentz —— joe root went on only the second ball of the day. jonny bairstow was the next ago, a great catch from steve smith to the bowling of mitchell starc. moeen ali then had a moment of madness, top edging and deep to steve smith again. the fourth wicket, chris woakes, caught caught behind by alex carey. at lunch england are 142—7. ben stokes is unbeaten, though, so many will be looking to him for a captain's innings. let's take it to

golf, and to the irish golfer who is close to the leeds. donegan started with a couple of bogeys but recovered. we are part of the history. it is really cool. i told myself, no matter what, this is going to be a memorable week, it is going to be an enjoyable week, so i will try to get the best out of myself, but no matter what happens, i will always enjoy it. matter what happens, i will always enjoy it. it's not often we associate england men with winning a trophy, but the country's amputee football team has just won its first piece of silverware. they beat spain, scoring this penalty to win1—0 in the final of the inaugural nations league tournament. the team hope that their victory will inspire more people like them

to get involved in the game. the main idea was to get back into football, but then with my prosthetic leg on. at this time i did no amputee football was a thing. just trying to raise more awareness about it because i bet there are other people out there in the same situation who don't know about the sport. we don't get paid, we are a charity and we heavily rely on fundraising, sponsorships and donations. it has changed my life, my outlook, my focus. i am hoping i can do the same for others. i get load of good food feedback from people who are not necessarily fickle fans. it is only a 50 minute game rather than a 90 minute game, so it is easy to watch. you will believe it to the state. max verstappen set the fastest lap

in first practice at the british grand prix. he finished ahead of his red bull team—mate sergio perez. the seven stage of the tour de france is under way with mark cavendish one of the favourites to win. it is the chance for him to secure a record 30 feet stage victory. stage seven goes to bordeaux and will suit mark cavendish, a sprint specialist. it is not featured on the tour since 2010, but back in 2010 is when he won it. if he takes the stage he will surpass the record that he holds jointly with eddie marx. sha'carri richardson kicked off her us championships with the best performance

of her career, winning the opening 100m heat in a world—leading 10.71 seconds. richardson lost her place at the tokyo olympics after a positive cannabis test and failed to qualify for last year's world championships, but showed she was determined to get it right this time in eugene. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app orfrom our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. you're watching bbc news. i'm rich preston. in the next hour we are expecting the sentencing of connor chapman — the 23—year—old convicted yesterday of the murder of elle edwards. she was shot dead outside a pub in wirral, in the north west of england, on christmas eve. the judge's sentencing will be
