hello from the bbc sport centre. england are through to the last eight of the women's world cup, but they needed a penalty shoot—out to get the better of nigeria in brisbane. gavin ramjaun was watching and joins us now. gavin, talk us through how the drama unfolded. what a match. drama right to the end. extra time, penalties, and can scrape through to the last eight. it was a big win for them because this nigerian team came at them, they were quick, strong, great in transition and they surprised them from the off. in the first ink england were slow to start and nigeria took the game by the scruff of the neck. they were lucky in many

respects, england, to have a penalty overturned. —— unlucky. the referee said it wasn't to be a penalty for a glimpse of the got through that 0—0. nigeria with a better team in the first half. the second half starts again with nigeria at the stronger team, hitting the woodwork twice in the second half. it looked at one point that they were going to score a goal and england would have to come out and try and attack this nigerian side, but it didn't happen and laurenjames was sent off in the second half for england, as well. it looked like it was going to be difficult for them to turn this around. laurenjames given a red card after var intervened again in one of the nigerian players. at that

point she had flashbacks to the england's men's teams in different eras going out on penalties. it was gorgeous after extra time. then the penalties. it was a nervous time for ed byrne. stanway missed for england first up, then nigeria missed on their reply. beth england scored for england from the second penalty and nigeria missed their second. rachel daly scored and then effectively and then find their rhythm in the penalty shoot—out. chloe kelly finished it off, the winner for england in the euros. nigeria will be absolutely gutted with this, they played so well, give a great account of themselves.— played so well, give a great account of themselves. what does this mean for en . land of themselves. what does this mean for england going — of themselves. what does this mean for england going forward? - of themselves. what does this mean for england going forward? they - of themselves. what does this mean l for england going forward? they want at their best, they have come

ou ve australia, denmark, morocco. thank you very much- _ well, the last 16 matches continue as hosts australia take on denmark in sydney. the game kicked off around 20 minutes or so ago. it is currently 0—0. britain's dan evans has won the first atp 500 title of his career, after beating tallon griekspoor in the citi open final in washington dc. evans came through 7—5, 6—3 against the dutchman, following a 90—minute stoppage for rain. play was suspended at two games each in the second set, but after the re—start evans cruised through his remaining service games and broke serve in game eight. he then saved four break points in the penultimate game. the win sees the 33—year—old climb to 21 in the world rankings. meanwhile, coco gauff beat greece's maria sakkari in straight sets to take the women's title. the world number seven was knocked out of wimbledon in the first round last month, but bounced back in style in her first tournament since that defeat, taking the match 6—2, 6—3.

i would say heading in the right direction. i mean, both areas of my game, even the back and can improve a lot more. i know a lot of people try to stay away from that side, but i do feel there are moments i can improve, and the food work especially on both sides. would i say i am completely satisfied with i am playing? yes, in the way, but also know because i feel i can always get better. henry slade and alex dombrandt are among the notable absentees from steve borthwick�*s 33—man england squad for the upcoming rugby union world cup. slade played at the last two world cups, but has been left out by borthwick. saracens hooker theo dan, who made his debut in saturday's defeat to wales, is selected, while billy vunipola is the only specialist number eight. england's first game is against argentina in marseille on 9th september. and that's all
