A big win for england against scotland at the netball world cup. Welcome along. People are starting to filter out of wimbledon after a sensational ladys finals here today. We have a new champion and it is simona halep who came past Serena Williams in straight sets. Was a blistering start and finish. From the seventh seed. Serena williams had no answer. So much talk coming into this match. Could Serena Williams equalled margaret courts record of 27 grand slam titles . She had no answer to simona halep today. It was the day when wimbledon dream was realised whilst another was ruthlessly dashed. Serena williams had emerged to royal approval in search of a record equalling 24th grand slam title but simona halep clearly hadnt read the script. Halep won the first four games in script. Halep won the first four games in 11 magical minutes. What a start. Taking the first set in a blaze of brilliance. Desperately williams dug deep, at last some flickers of that familiar fire. They we re flickers of that familiar fire. They were soon snuffed out. In less than an hour it was all over. Simona halep is the wimbledon champion. Delight and utter disbelief. Halep had produced the performance of her life and her opponent knew it. She literally played out of her mind, congratulations simona. It was my mums dream. When i was ten she said ifi mums dream. When i was ten she said if i want to do something in tennis i have to play the final of wimbledon so the day came. Thanks to my parents. What drama the fans have seen. Most were expecting to watch it Serena Williams make history. Instead they have a new champion. And as a fan of the duchess of cambridge, things got even better. Really well done. A quick chat before even more cheers. For simona halep, the perfect ending to a near perfect performance. What a performance, it has not a lwa ys what a performance, it has not always been easy for simona halep when you consider she won the french open last year but cannot follow that up with a big performance here in wimbledon as she went out in the third round and as she defended her french open title this year, she lost in the early stages as well. How has she managed to produce such a big performance here at these Wimbledon Championships . She was helped by an uncharacteristic performance by Serena Williams with 26 unforced errors. Signs perhaps that pressure and the lack of match time in the lead up to these Wimbledon Championships took their toll in the end. I put these points toll in the end. I put these points to tracy austin early on. toll in the end. I put these points to tracy austin early on. I do not think any of us thought simona halep would be victorious, 6 2, 6 2 over Serena Williams. 56 minutes, only three unforced errors to win a match that decisively against Serena Williams who is trying for her 24th major title. The level that simona was able to play at, the way that she served, she only faced one break point. We thought anybody would be facing that we thought it would be Serena Williams. Simona moves incredibly well. She is one of the best defenders on the tour and i think most of us believe that when sabina gets to the finals of a major, she has played her way into shape and simona historically has not had her best results here at wimbledon. She got to the semifinals and has a couple of quarterfinals, but she herself said she never felt co mforta ble but she herself said she never felt comfortable on grass until this year. Most of us were thinking going in that serena was going to be the heavy favourite. Sabina has had chances to get over the line sabina. How will she be feeling . She will be so disappointed. She wants to surpass the record with a 25. She has had three in the finals she has lost in straight sets. The pressure has got to her. She has to get in shape and plate mark batches of summer. shape and plate mark batches of summer. Play more matches all summer. Play more matches all summer. The thoughts of Tracey Austin who believes the chances are not over just yet for Serena Williams despite being 37 years old, she may still get past or even equal margaret quites record but what of simona halep who has been the star of the tournament so far . The highest deceit remaining having made it through to the final, seventh seed. She said it was a dream of her mum to see her reach the wimbledon final and she has done that and we can hearfrom final and she has done that and we can hear from her after that impressive win today. Can hear from her after that impressive win todaylj can hear from her after that impressive win today. I wanted this badly. When i started the tournament i talked to the people from the locker room that my dream is to become a member here so today it is real and i become a member here so today it is realand i am become a member here so today it is real and i am really happy. It is very special for every country. He hears the tennis was one and it is all the rules, a very prestigious tournament that makes it a little bit different and more special. Thinking that it is a possibility to win on grass, it was tough to believe because we do not have a grass court in romania so that is something far. I knew that every where a patient and worked hard we would get the feeling of the grass court so i did this year and i did it pretty well. It is not the only match i played great, i played many great matches even if i lost. I feel iamat great matches even if i lost. I feel i am at the highest level for sure but i am feeling i can improve are some things. Not about todays match but this tournament, i feel i have to improve other things and i will keep working for that. I am still motivated and looking forward to the next tournament and challenges i have. She will be desperate to follow u p have. She will be desperate to follow up this success with a big showing at the us open to come. Lets bring you some of the other action. The mens doubles final is reaching its conclusion at centre court. We have a previous winner of this title back in 2016. His former playing partner having played alongside andy murray in the mens doubles. He is clearly playing well to get this far but still has his work cut out if he is to win another title, in action currently. They trailed two sets to one. They are currently 4 11 in that fourth set. They still have their work cut out if they are to lift the title this year. The holders are mike brian and jack sock. We know there was british success yesterday and that came in the quad wheelchair doubles. Andy lapthorne playing the quad wheelchair doubles. Andy la pthorne playing alongside the quad wheelchair doubles. Andy lapthorne playing alongside dylan alcott. Today they were in the singles final. Blackthorn up against his doubles partner and he was on the end of a big defeat, losing 6 0, 62. The end of a big defeat, losing 6 0, 6 2. Alcott is a 12 time winner. Just proving too strong. Great success previously here for alfie hewitt and his doubles partner, gordon reid in the wheelchair doubles. They won this title the last three years in a row. A step too farfor them as last three years in a row. A step too far for them as well today. They lost this one. They had beaten the number one seeds yesterday to reach the final to perhaps well placed to wina the final to perhaps well placed to win a fourth consecutive doubles title but too much for them today. Clearly delighted with the numbers that have been watching and the growth of the game, huge support for them as always here at wimbledon. As there will be for the mens final tomorrow. What a game we have in store with Novak Djokovic, the defending champion going for back to back titles against Roger Federer who is hoping to earn another slice of wimbledon history if he can win another at wimbledon title, a 21st grand slam. It is so tough to choose when you consider the dominance of the big three in the dominance of the big three in the mens game. In mens tennis there are two champions that will not go away, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have 12 wimbledon titles between them. At nearly 38 federer still going and still graceful but playing Novak Djokovic can be an ordeal. With a racket he is elastic. Roger federer comes off the back of one of the great semifinals as after those four sets against nadal, how much has he got left . Plenty, i feel really good. It has not been a difficult tournament physically for me. It is important for me to get to the finals and take the confidence again from this tournament so far and remind myself i have one more match to go. In such a Court Federer is the icon. Novak djokovic, he feels is not quite the same. His last match was tight. The serbian has been here five times before. He has been here five times before. He has lost the final just once has been here five times before. He has lost the finaljust once and he knows how the day works. It is the most unique final of any tournament in the world really. It is such a secret tennis club, the stadium and the surface, everything is so special and unique. In grand slams Roger Federer has not beaten Novak Djokovic in seven years. He is a code he finds tough to crack. But on the data keeps rolling back the yea rs, the data keeps rolling back the years, a ninth wimbledon title could be his most remarkable. It is difficult to split those two, isnt it . It is going to be a huge final, a very special one. Another slice of wimbledon history. He will come out on top is anyones guess but for now, that is all from wimbledon. We will be back with the mens final tomorrow. Tomorrow, englands cricketers will play in their first World Cup Finalfor 27 years. They thrashed new zealand a few weeks ago as they finished the group stage strongly. The black caps upset the odds by beating india in their semifinal, england were simply brilliant in blowing away australia in theirs. There will be a new name on the trophy. From lords heres our sports correspondentjoe wilson. England are through to the World Cup Final. So they are here, whoever wins tomorrow, a new nation will beat World Champion. Lloyds has hosted the mens World Cup Final four times before. England . Hosted the mens World Cup Final fourtimes before. England . Men hosted the mens World Cup Final four times before. England . Men have reached the cricket World Cup Final three times before and never won it. It is indisputably a big deal. Three times before and never won it. It is indisputably a big dealm three times before and never won it. It is indisputably a big deal. It is that far removed i never even in my wildest dreams dreamt of it. It is awesome. I dreamt of hitting the iu ns awesome. I dreamt of hitting the runs in the World Cup Final, i never dreamt i would lead my country out in the World Cup Final so that probably sums up how much it means. New Zealand Weather beaten finalists in the last world cup. They knocked at the mighty india in this semifinal but yet, as the captain knows there are always described as the underdogs. Whatever dog we are it isjust the underdogs. Whatever dog we are it is just important the underdogs. Whatever dog we are it isjust important we focus on the underdogs. Whatever dog we are it is just important we focus on the cricket that we want to play and we have seen over the years that anybody can beat anybody, regardless of breed of dog. Both nations help fixture can be inspiring cricket participation, both captains were now look no further than 100 overs, right here. You will be able to follow the final across bbc radio and online, the former new zealand captainjeremy coney will be with the test match special team. It depends on the surface they are going to play here at lords tomorrow. If it is a motorway and material road, new zealand cannot match england for sheer power and artillery. They probably are stronger in the first two sets of ten overs so archer versus nicholls and the others round about, you have got henry and bought a bairstow and roy. I think you would say the english side are a little bit stronger. If we can get through those and it is not an arterial road but ap wrote and this is a 300 kind of total, because of those four games that you have spoken about, new zealand will feel they are in with a chance. They can take england out of that place we are in with a chance. There will be a huge crowd in new zealand. I have had so many texts over the last couple of days since the indian results. The country will stop whilst this game is going. He got very emotional when new zealand beat india in that semifinal. Sports fans are spoiled for choice tomorrow, its also the british grand prix, mercedes are on the front row but Lewis Hamilton missed out on pole by a whisker to his teamate Valterri Bottas. Hamilton is targeting a record 6th win in the race, hes currently level withjim clark and alain prost. Azi farni reports from silverstone. All eyes are on Lewis Hamilton this weekend as he looks to become the most successful driver at the british grand prix. Before that was the chance to extend his record of six pole positions at silverstone and he started strongly with a new track record in the first qualifying session, breaking it in the third despite a mistake on his opening lap. But as so often this season, his team mate, Valterri Bottas was hot on his wheels. Hamilton bears the weight of british hopes but there is plenty of support for his compatriot. Rookie, lando norris has just had his contract extended for next year and finished eighth while fellow british rookie George Russell was 19th. Having dominated in final practice, Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel threatened to take the fight to mercedes but while Charles Leclerc came in 700ths off pace, vettel could only manage sixth. For mercedes it cannot become closer. Hamilton gave everything he could on his final lap but felljust 6000th of a second short. Valterri bottas taking it. Not good enough. We worked really hard but it got away from us a little bit. A sacrifice lap happened in q2 which would have helped get a reading of how the car was but we didnt do that. The second lap just wasnt that great so fair play to valterri, he did the job. It has been close all weekend today with lewis. I am happy to get a good lap. These grand slams will be in full voice tomorrow as fans hope to see a moment in history. A sell out crowd of more than 140 , 000 is expected. The majority of them no doubt urging Lewis Hamilton on to what would be a record sixth british grand prix win. Lets have a quick look at some of the other headlines today. There was another crash for Geraint Thomas at the tour de france, the defending champion finished in the pack on stage 8 but lost time on the leaders. He remains fifth, over a minute behind frenchman Julian Alaphilippe who reclaimed the yellowjersey.

Hes on 15 under par but is five shots off the leader Bernd Weisberger at the renaissance club. Manchester united started their preseason tour of australia with a 2 0 win against perth glory. Marcus rashford and james garner with the goals. Paul pogba, who came on at half time, refused to answer questions about his future. Its day 2 at the netball world cup in liverpool. 16 teams continue the first preliminary stage, 4 groups of 4. There was a big win for england against scotland and Northern Ireland registered their first win in the tournament. Kate grey is there. The england scotland match went as the form but predicted with england winning 70 goals to 34. It was a strange match to watch with lots of chopping and changing from both teams throughout and england suffered an injury. One of their starting defenders took herself off court, we are not sure what happened oi court, we are not sure what happened or how serious, but if she is unable to play the rest of the tournament, england will be down a player. But heres the full story of that match from lydia campbell. Netball fever has hit liverpool and there is nothing quite like playing in front ofa nothing quite like playing in front of a home crowd, especially when it is against one of your fiercest rivals. Both england and scotland won their opening games but it was the roses who had the early dominance. Rachel done unplayable. But it wasnt all good news for england with leila limping off inside the first quarter. Scotland we re inside the first quarter. Scotland were struggling to keep up. Bethan goodwin trying to drag her side back into the game but england are one of the favourites for the tournament and they were showing it. Dunn proving once againjust and they were showing it. Dunn proving once again just too good. This is her first proving once again just too good. This is herfirst world cup but she will not have many better games than this. She finished 49 goals in this one and that helped wrapped up a convincing win for england. They face a similar next as they try to top the group. As for scotland, they will need a win over uganda tomorrow to guarantee a place in the next round. Northern ireland were in action earlier on today hoping to put right a disappointing match against australia yesterday. They we re against australia yesterday. They were victorious against sri lanka, led by Caroline Ohanlon who suffered a fall yesterday but she was back in action, looking in great form. We will go back in the cat our owfi game form. We will go back in the cat our own game and we form. We will go back in the cat our owfi game and we were a form. We will go back in the cat our own game and we were a bit patchy today against sri lanka, we had some lovely passages of play and some areas where we lost concentration. If we can tidy those up, we will have a look at the badly and focus on our owfi game. have a look at the badly and focus on our owfi game. we have a look at the badly and focus on our own game. We will have a look at zimbabwe. For a third consecutive day all teams will be out on court. Northern ireland up against the very flamboyant and loud Zimbabwe Team with other supporters behind them. Scotland up against a tough uganda who have been in tricky opponent here in liverpool and england up against samoa who should be their easiest match of the group. It is important to note that it looks like all home nations will progress into the next phase of this tournament but every result counts tournament but every result counts to make their lives a little bit easier in the next stages of the tournament.
