south africa 177 to win their first ever cricket world title. and max verstappen will be on pole once again as red bull look for victory in their home austrian grand prix. hello and welcome to the programme. the group stage of euro 2024 is done and dusted, a distant memory, as the serious business begins. there is now no margin for error as the knockout stages are under way. we'll look ahead to england's last 16 match against slovakia shortly. if gareth southgate�*s team win tomorrow they'll face either defending champions italy or switzerland, that match is reaching the closing stages in berlin. swizerland dominated the first half with italy struggling to make any impression. nottingham forest's remo freuler gave the swiss a deserved lead. there would have been more damage to the italians were it not for their keeper gianluigi donnarumma. biut soon after the start of the seocnd half italua hjad a mountain to climb when ruben vargas dpuibled the swiss lead. and these are live pictures from the olympiastadion in berlin. the defending champions who won the final at wembley on penalties against england three years ago, heading out. and switzerland en route, possibly, potentially, to the last eight. so as we mentioned, the winner of that match will face england or slovakia in the last eight. we're expecting to hear from england boss gareth southgate shortly and we'll bring you that press conference in full here on bbc news. in the meantime let's cross to gelsenkirchen and our sports correspondent andy swiss. andy we've heard so much criticism of england's performances so far, despite them topping their group, can we expect any changes to the starting line up tomorrow? as you say, i think most of us are expecting a change in midfield. gareth southgate has tried all sorts of options. remember, he started off in the first two group matches with another playing midfield then he replaced him for the third group game against slovenia. then gallagher was substituted at half—time and, as you say, i think the expectation is that the 19—year—old will start in midfield for this match. not least because he came on at half—time in place of gaelic against slovenia and he made a real difference in quality for england so i think the expectation is that the player will start in midfield. lots of other suggestions. another player came on in the second half and again he really improved. he made a big difference. could he get a place in the starting 11? gareth southgate has so far resisted demands for wholesale change, you have to say. one thing is for sure, the fans out here in germany would love to see a slightly more positive approach from england. the word boring has been bandied about by the fans an awful lot over the past couple of weeks, i can tell you now. earlier on today i spoke to the former england international and he told me how he thinks england should play. told me how he thinks england should .la . ., told me how he thinks

angle, then. what about england opponents tomorrow? . what about england opponents tomorrow? what about england's opponents tomorrow, are we expecting another side to sit deep and make life frustrating for england, what sort of threat will they pose? it will be interesting. on paper it looks like a pretty decent draw for england because slovakia are a0 feet in the world rankings. that is a0 places below england. england and slovakia met six times in the past. england have won five of their mantra drawn the other and we look down at slovakia, apart from the newcastle goalkeeper there are not any real big world famous stars in that slovakian line—up but england will be only too aware of what happened in slovakia's opening match of this tournament when they produced one of the big shock so far. they beat belgium by one goal. that shows what they are capable of. they will start as the big underdogs for this match but they have already, in many ways, exceeded the expectations of their home fans. they have nothing to lose and that can sometimes be a dangerous thing. brilliant stuff. thank you very much. injust over an hour, hosts germany will bid to reach the quarter finals. they're up against denmark in dortmund. the danes famously beat the germans 2—0 in 1992 to win the european championship for the first time. both sides are unbeaten so far at the tournament. a lot has been said about 92, especially as part of growing up that you learn about that particular summer. the big story back then was that denmark was quite an outsider, had not even qualified for the tournament so we have. i think we have a good team but there is no doubt, for anything special to happen, we would have to be a bit of an upset. i happen, we would have to be a bit of an uset. ~' ., ,

are not, the expectation of our fans will always— the expectation of our fans will always be the same and they will aiways _ always be the same and they will always want to team. at the end, i thihi is approaching the closing stages in barbados. india posted 176 after winning the toss and decding to bat. once again virat kohli was their star man. he made 76. ben croucher reports. wherever in the world there is cricket, there is indian fans. you cannot miss them. cannot always please them, either. earlier in this cup final it was south africa happy. very happy. thanks to the wall, batch to the ball. patel up the order. up, up and away. india were up order. up, up and away. india were up and running. i'm a7, not fast enough. south africa sent their time again. hang on there, who is this? he goes by... and when he starts swinging, india start parrying. vital 76 pushed aside 176. the highest score in a final. with the ball they have this player and that is what he does. south africa have plenty of firepower themselves and a few more blows like this could leave those indian supporters a little more subdued. south africa need 22 from 18 which will secure their first ever world title. you can see that south africa, the 155—5. in the final stages there. cycling's biggest race of the year is under way. for the first time in its history the tour de france started in italy. the opening stage ended with a frenchman in yellow, as roman barday pulled off a remarkable victory. but there was concern for britain's mark cavendish who struggled in the heat. nick parrott reports. the ceremonial start in florence was serene but, with a temperature above 30 degrees, it was sweltering even before racing had properly began. mark cavendish said this would be the hardest start he had ever done. he needed help at the first of seven climbs and were sick on the descent. he finished inside the cut—off time and will be hoping his ordeal does not affect his bid to claim the outright record for stage wins. cavendish is one of the record 11 british riders taking part but none are expected to challenge for overall victory. the defending champion is back on his bike despite not having raced isn't a serious crash in april. slovenia's rider is likely to be the dane's main rival. the rest of the palette on could note keep up. the frenchman left them behind with more than 30 to go and, with the help of his dutch team—mate, he held them off to claim the reader's yellowjersey for the first time in his career. you are watching sports day. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. manchester united have confirmed that goalkeeper mary earps will leave the club following the end of her contract, coming just days after captain katie zelem's departure was announced. earpsjoined united in 2019 and made 125 appearances. the dutch motogp sprint race at assen got off to a bad start for six time champion marc marquez, as the spaniard crashed out on just the second lap. italy's defending champion francesco bagnaia lead from pole, going on to beat championship leader jorge marteen and his fellow spaniard maverick vinales. stage 13 of rally poland was an unlucky one for elvin evans. damage to the right rear tyre on his toyota cost the briton almost nine seconds. it saw him drop to third overall. his team mate kaller rovanpera is leading. the rally ends tomorrow. max verstappen has increased his lead in the formula one drivers championship after winning the sprint race at the austrian grand prix. the dutchman started from pole at the red bull ring, but briefly lost his lead to mclaren�*s lando norris. once the world champion got back in front though he stayed there, going on to claim his third sprint race victory of the season. australian oscar piastri finished second ahead of his mclaren team mate norris. verstappen kept his foot hard on the gas for qualifying a few hours later, taking his eighth pole position of the season. he was almost half a second quicker than norris, whose fellow briton george russell will line up third for mercedes for tomorrow's grand prix. it has been a while that we actually have been on pole. so it is great. it is a great feeling. the team is working really hard, you know, to try to make the car more competitive. and i think this is a great statement and hopefully we can of
