our sports correspondent laura scott looks ahead. it's been a while, but wimbledon�*s back in full force, and so is the queue. awaiting them is an all—star cast. serena williams hasn't played singles since this agonising exit last year... ..but hasn't given up on another trophy at a0. opening centre court in its 100th year is defending champion novak djokovic. but rafael nadal is eyeing his third slam of the year after three years away. i enjoy it, unforgettable moments here, so i don't know how many wimbledons remain for me, no? so if i have the chance to be here this year, i want to enjoy that opportunity. for some, the championships will be as much about who isn't here. russian and belarusian players are banned over the war in ukraine, meaning no world number one daniil medvedev and no ranking points. it's still the right decision to make for the championships. we hugely regret the impact it has on the individual players involved, but it remains the right decision for us, this year. despite many time—honoured traditions, som

laura scott, bbc news, wimbledon. yeah, looking forward to that one. this weekend marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most controversial football matches of all time. west germany versus austria in the 1982 world cup saw players engineer the result of their group match saw both qualify at the expense of algeria. the resulting outrage led to fifa changing the rules to ensure both final group games would be played simultaneously. 0lly foster looks back on what become known as the "disgrace of gijon" with the referee in charge that day. the 1982 world cup was the biggest to date. 2a teams taking part — england, northern ireland and scotland were there. italy would become champions for a third time. who can forget marco tardelli's goal celebration in the final against the west germans? west germany also lost their opening game. algeria, the world cup debutants, were one of the early stories of that baking spanish summer. they then beat chile and had every chance of going through. theyjust needed the final game in their group the following day to go

laura scott reports. it's a sight many in the tennis world doubted they'd ever see again — serena williams stepping back onto court. after all, she hasn't played since slipping in the first round of wimbledon last year, and hobbling off centre court. but after 358 days away, she made her hotly anticipated return, playing doubles on the sunny south coast. there were signs of rustiness, yes. slips and strikes, too. but then, the comeback within the comeback. she and her partner, ons jabeur, clinching what had looked an unlikely victory. did she ever doubt she'd get back to this point? absolutely, for sure. i would be dishonest if i said it wasn't, but, yeah, and now my body feels great. i mean, it's doubles — i'm only playing half the court, but i've been doing a lot of training and so it definitely feels good. not perhaps a win of old, but a win nonetheless, with wimbledon just days away. serena isn't going there to make up the numbers, but she'll need to be slicker if she's ever to repeat so she'll ne

laura scott at epsom there. the remainder of our top story, the first test between england and new zealand comedy kiwis will take a lead of 227 runs into the 30 day at lord's. daryl mitchell and tom blundell closing in on their centuries for the tours. i will be back with updates throughout the rest of the evening here in bbc news. as many of you will have seen on thursday, an official portrait was released of the queen to mark her platinum jubilee. many many photos have been taken of her over the years. earlier, katty jay spoke to ranald mackechnie who took the photo of the queen released earlier this week. and ian macdonald who's a royal and regimental photographer based in toronto. it was decided early on that they wanted to have at the tower, the round tower at windsor castle in the background, which kind of limited the ideas as to where to shoot it, which was at the victoria vestibule, i believe. so obviously windsor is a really important to the queen and i guess a home location for her. it is not the first

laura scott, thank ou. the premier league fixtures are in. they were published the morning. plenty of mouthwatering clashes in what is going to be a unique year. ben croucher is at the touch screen to break it all down. yep, it's been just 25 days since the premier league season ended and already we're looking ahead to the next one. football never sleeps! before we get onto those opening games, let's tell you how and why this season is a bit different. the why is pretty simple really — the world cup in november and december. so, as a result, the season will start a bit earlier on the 5th of august. it then takes a break midway through november. the premier league has agreed to the fa's request with the big six not playing each other this weekend — although how that stops players getting injured or kicked is a bit of a mystery. newcastle chelsea's probably the best game that round and restarts on boxing day. it then finishes a week later than this year on sunday 28th of may. the fa cup final is the week after that, followed by the champions league final onjune 10th. it's

scott reports. you join me now under the roof on centre court where another practice session is getting under way and the big news today was the draw of both the men's and ladies singles and perhaps the standout name who was unseeded was serena williams, who was practising behind me. remember, she is returning for only herfirst singles match since retiring on the first round of last year's wimbledon, hobbling off centre court here after slipping on a first round map. she hasn't played a single singles match since. she has played doubles in the spurn but it will be obviously a major test of how her bodyis obviously a major test of how her body is faring. many people thought she might draw a seat as she comes in here as a wild card down at number 1204 in the world but she hasn't. instead, she is drawn at wimbledon first timer in how many ten, 24—year—old from france who was ranked number 113 the world. the top of the latest draw is... who has a 35 match winning, winning streaks as she is very much

scott is at wimbledon. laura, what a difference a year makes. raducanu burst onto the scene as a wildcard last year, now she's the number—ten seed. there are few people who would have known who emma raducanu was this time last year and now all very different because a lot of eyes will be on how she performs at wimbledon given she reached the fourth round last year and went on to win the us open. she comes here as the tenth seed and has quite a difficult first round draw against the belgian alison van uytvanck who is the world number 46 and has reached the fourth round here before. emma raducanu has played just seven games on the grass so far this season, seven games and not seven matches. she retired in the first round of nottingham injured but as things stand she will be here and will be practising later on today on number one court so we will get a chance to see just how she is moving. the ladies�* draw is headed by iga swiatek, the top seed from poland, who has 35 wins in a row which is mightily impr
