it's here in aldershot that the england women's rugby team are going through theirfinal england women's rugby team are going through their final preparations ahead of the opening game in the world cup next month, taking on spain as they look to defend their world title. but there is a question about contracts, central contracts for those who play 15 aside which has developed in the past few days with many looking at including an mp saying it a kick in the teeth for those players who will not be centrally contracted once the world cup ends come what may. instead the rfu will look to the seven aside game to contract then ahead of the seven aside world cup and the commonwealth games. speaking to some of the players as they came off the training pitch is that the mind is clear that they do not want to think about contracts, they want to look ahead to defending the world cup. we we re ahead to defending the world cup. we were aware of and understood the situation when we knew contracts we re situation when we knew contracts were coming out and it's something were coming out and it's somethin

it is england... it is every game since she has come back. the last three years have been sensational. for women in sport they are getting there. the cricket team, the achievement, and hopefully the england women. it is what women's sport needs. progress has been made of the pitch as well. the side of the best prepared than most well funded england women's team yet. whereas a number of teams have struggled up this to a limit england have three but next they face france, a team they haven't beaten since 197a. the french had been one of the pretournament favourites but only just scraped through, of the pretournament favourites but onlyjust scraped through, but of the pretournament favourites but only just scraped through, but there has been fighting talk between the camps. we are street fighters and when we get pork to be put back. we look at the history of this team and what they have come through to get where they are. it has not been easy. sunday's quarterfinal promises to bea easy. sunday's quarterf

screw with anya shrubsole england turned the screw with anya shru bsole completing a england turned the screw with anya shrubsole completing a six wicket hole to guide her side to glory. england win the world cup, it is not often you can say that. it is not only a victory for them but for women cricket as well and it may prove a seminal moment for women sport. pure elation. i was it is better winning when you are out there with your team on the field. we have not one of the prettiest at times but tournament cricket is all about winning, it is about getting over the line. after 12 long years, there has been a lot of changes in the side. it is a lot of changes in the side. it is a good experience for them. i think it was a good game. i am very happy that girls put up a fight and not just gave it is only to the english side. at every point they have given it their best. drama in abundance too at royal birkdale, where on a day of dropped shots and comebacks, jordan spieth won the open championship. he's only 23 years old and already has three major titles to his name — the young ameri

england's task was to stay out there, hang around. keaton jennings didn't last ten minutes this morning. two long days lay ahead. with south africa so far in front, wickets take on more value than runs. that one's worth a fortune. joe root, england's captain, out for eight. what was needed was an anachronism. alastair cook is a throwback to a more patient age. he waits till it's safe and then scores. while he's out there, that's half full. just before lunch, that concentration cracked. cook tricked, flicked, momentum tipped. few follow cook's philosophy. many of his team—mates thrive at shorter forms of cricket, which offer big rewards for risk—taking. it can be difficult to rediscover restraint. wickets tumbled. ben stokes earned £1.7 million in the indian premier league this year. and yet could only make 18 here. for england's new captain, an awakening. his team didn't stay until tea—time. we need to make sure we learn from experiences like this. if that means playing in a slightly different manner then so be it. but i think

the review was taken by england. actually, roland—jones was closer to an england readable, hat—trick was .com. love, one of the's of decisions was to playjust one specials and that is calling moeen ali a specialist and once again here in the title. after lunch dean elgar went, his century today he definitely deserves an honourable mention. after he went i2 fight was clear even theoretical hope of south africa batting of the day went with him. rabada alt and then morne morkel followed the first ball of melancholy, hat—trick. —— the first ball of moeen ali. the confirmation was delayed by a review but it only increased the climax. there is never a bad way to win a test match put this came as one the best and exhilarating conclusion for england. i think the women played with brilliant. i looked down the side. -- i think brilliant. i looked down the side. —— i think the way we played was brilliant. if we can set a game of getting the position of strength early we generally find ways of getting across the li

come on, england. let's just hope that england. let's just hope that england can do it and they can defeat india. of course, they lost to them in the opening game of this tournament. lady begins at 1030 this morning. looking forward to a. thank you very much, tom. —— play begins at 1030 this morning. let's see how they go today. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: prince william and prince harry have given a candid insight into their relationship with their mother, in a documentary marking 20 years since her death. the rules on blood donation are to be relaxed in england and scotland, to allow more gay men and sex workers to participate. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. will stay fine at lord's today? it looks like there will be some interruptions. we have another day as sunshine and interruptions. there was yucky afternoon, feeling cool. in the sunshine, it shouldn't feel bad. there is a weakening area of low pressure slowly pushing its way into the near continent. there wi

tails, england. easy, this captaincy, isn't it? but as his predecessor helped prove, it's anything but. alastair cook gone for three as wickets soon tumbled. crisis? enter the skipper. he lived dangerously at first. an early swish — would he be caught? well, he should have been. a rueful root and how he made south africa pay. magic and maturity in equal measure as he led the england fightback, and soon after tea he reached his century. a kiss of the badge, an ovation from his team — leading by example has rarely felt better. but that was just the start, as thrillingly he hit the accelerator. catching practice for the crowd. and just when south africa thought they finally had him, it was a no ball. that summed up their day and this summed up root‘s. 0n181i at the close, no england skipper has scored more in his first test in charge. itjust seemed to fall into place today, and when you get a life early sometimes you feel like it's your day and you've got to try and make the most of it. it was one of those occasions. not a bad s

that swung momentum england's way. south africa could not get many runs going, could not get the run rate up, and england would have fancied chasing 219 the reg world cup final. they were going well, having lost both openers. sarah taylor batted well for her 50, but taylor was run out and south africa sees their chance. they got rid of heather knight, the england captain, and england looked to have problems for a while. the game went deep into the final over. england needed three from the final over, two from the last four balls, when laura marsh was delivered. they still needed those final runs. shrubsole hit two, to ta ke those final runs. shrubsole hit two, to take england into the final. that final will be sold out at lord's against either india or australia. if it is anything like today it will be some game. the group matches continue at the women's european championship in the netherlands. austria were 1—0 winners over switzerland in the day's early game, nina burger with the goal. switzerland's rahel kiwic was

the last pa rt hope england beat portugal. the last part should transpire, but on the evidence of the two defeats so far, can scotland beat spain?” evidence of the two defeats so far, can scotland beat spain? i think we have a chance. i think we can score goals against this team. we have players and forward areas who can hurt spain. cuthbert took a goal extremely well. caroline wear had a big impact. mike only concern would be that we can't keep a clean sheet. of the eight goals we have conceded eve ryo ne of the eight goals we have conceded everyone has been avoidable. that truth is unavoidable. but if you think the goalkeeper‘s confidence in her own and her team's ability has been shaken, think again. we played spain and that he and a half ago. it's the same team, the same coach, they play the same way. they've gelled better as a team, but if we can stick to our game plan in terms of the way we want to defend, the way we want to attack, we are capable of that result. but it comes down to the inner belief within ourselves
