new zealand's captain, williamson, edged matthew potts behind. england deservedly look on the bright side. two finals to bring you from the eastbourne international today. petra kvitova, the two—time wimbledon champion, said her win was perfect preparation for the championships, which start on monday. she made light work of defending championjelena ostapenko earlier, but it went all the way, in the men's final between taylor fritz, and maxime cressy. joe lynsky was watching. the last lookout post for wimbledon is 60 miles south at eastbourne, where petra kvitova has played six times before but not been champion. now, she stepped forward. this was her first tour final since march last year but her touch is back in good time. kvitova has two wimbledon titles but here she faced eastbourne�*s defending champion. and while her opponent showed a flash of potential, kvitova showed the extraordinary. oh, come on! there are two sleeps to wimbledon�*s first round and two weeks to the final but on the coast, kvitova has acclimatised both to the grass

matthew potts was unfortunately briefly. not everyone was seeing it big, oh well, carry on. tom blundell made his century, you see the nearly 400—4, licensed to loosen up. that was what did for tom blundell in the end, at 106. i liberated mitchell on the other hand was putting them in the stands. heads up, sign him up. england needed something, anything. they got rain and a chance to refresh and redress, joe wrote dropped a crucial catch on the first day, but no escape this time. michael bracewell out to jimmy escape this time. michael bracewell out tojimmy anderson. finally england were moving and eventually they even got mitchell but by then he had scored 190 and new zealand 553 all out. england's turn and for more than a day and a half batting looked easy but it wasn't and that was zak crawley and this might have been alex lees, daryl mitchell had seen it so well until then. the kind of luck england cannot rely on. patrick gearey, bbc news. here's the latest then from trent bridge — play can go on till after 7pm because of the hour long rain delay today. england are 6

but the man of the morning is matthew potts. he got his first wicket in his first test match over dismissing new zealand captain kane williamson. he added another two shortly after. new zealand currently 97 for 8. just 3a overs have been played. not all plain sailing for england though. spinnerjack leach has been ruled out of the test with symptoms of concussion after taking this tumble trying to stop a boundary. england have brought in matt parkinson as a concussion substitute — he will bat and bowl. chelsea's antonio rudiger willjoin european champions real madrid on a free transfer this summer. the 29—year—old will sign a four—year contract with the spanish side. the german international had been a key part of chelsea's side sincejoining in 2017, making 203 appearances in all competitions and winning the champions league, europa league and fa cup. it's also goodbye, juan mata. he'll leave manchester united on a free transfer when his contract expires this summer. the midfielderjoined from chelsea in 2014. since then,
