First up is Maya Joint against Alexandra Eala in the women's final. Australian joint is a rising star and will start as favorite, having beaten Emma Raducanu earlier in the week, but Eala has upset seeds already in her run through qualifying all the way to the main draw final.
In the men's final that follows, Taylor Fritz seeks his fourth Eastbourne title in six attempts against fellow American Jenson Brooksby. Top seed Fritz will look to use his shot-making prowess to get on the front foot and continue his fine pre-Wimbledon form. Brooksby has the serve to do some damage, though.

Jubilant scenes as Lionesses keep Euros dream alive with second-half equaliser

Jubilant scenes erupted in fan zones across the country as England kept their Euros dream alive with a second-half equaliser in the final. Arsenal striker Alessia Russo rose highest to divert Chloe Kelly's cross past Cata Coll in the Spanish goal in the 57th minute – sending Lionesses supporters into raptures. England fans had watched on nervously as they once again found themselves behind in a crucial Euros tie. Fans draped in England flags joined the Prince of Wales and his daughter Princess Charlotte in holding their heads in their hands as Mariona Caldentey put Spain 1-0 up in the final on Sunday. A nervous atmosphere transformed into a jubilant one at Boxpark Croydon as Russo's header found the net, with England flags being waved and supporters hugging each other during the celebrations. At the final whistle, fans of the Lionesses appeared confident as they started dancing and cheering as the match went into extra time. William and Charlotte were pictured in Switzerland for the Euros final as the royal family led the nation in wishing good luck to England's Lionesses. Shortly before kick-off, an image of the pair was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales's X account with the caption 'let's go, Lionesses'. As Caldentey's header found the net in the 25th minute, William and Charlotte were pictured with their heads in their hands and crowds in fan zones across England fell silent as they watched proceedings. Before kick-off, supporters waved England flags and loudly sang the national anthem at Boxpark Croydon and star striker Michelle Agyemang's former team, Brandon Groves Community Club in Essex. Agyemang, 19, who had one England cap before the tournament, scored crucial equalisers in the Lionesses' quarter-final and semi-final comebacks. Ahead of the game, 11-year-old Violet Ingram, a left winger for Brandon Grove Emeralds, said: 'Seeing her (Agyemang) and the team just makes me feel like I can do anything I want to do.' Lionesses fans stood on their feet while some children said 'come on England' after Russo's header put England on level terms. The Prince of Wales, who is patron of the Football Association (FA), applauded the national anthem as he stood next to Charlotte in the stadium. In a show of support ahead of the final, the Band of the Grenadier Guards performed Three Lions on the Buckingham Palace forecourt, while the royal family's official X account posted: 'Wishing the very best of luck to the @Lionesses in the Women's Euro Final this evening.' Meanwhile, BBC Sport and ITV have secured the broadcasting rights for the Women's World Cup 2027, meaning the tournament will remain free-to-air for UK viewers. England's path to the final has been marked by late drama. They sealed their spot with a last-gasp extra-time win over Italy, following a penalty shootout victory against Sweden in the quarter-finals after nearly crashing out in extra time. The Lionesses will be looking for redemption against Spain, who edged them 1-0 in the 2023 Women's World Cup final. England boss Sarina Wiegman said the team is 'going to do everything we can to win it' and she would prefer to avoid a 'nerve-wracking' match.

Injured Rishabh Pant will miss India's fifth test vs. England

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — India's Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of the final test against England with a foot fracture. India coach Gautam Gambhir confirmed Pant's injury for the first time after the visitors salvaged a draw in the fourth test at Old Trafford on Sunday. Pant retired hurt on day one when taken off the field on a cart with his foot badly swollen but he returned, limping, on day 2 to reach a half century. 'It's been declared that he's out of the series, and one thing I want to say is that the character and the foundation of this team will be built on something Rishabh did for the team and for the country as well,' Gambhir said. "Any amount of praise is not enough for him, especially batting with a broken foot. 'I think the generations to come forward will talk about it and the generations coming forward should talk about it.' Pant was injured when attempting a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes and the ball deflected onto his right ankle and foot. India did not confirm at the time the extent of the injury, but he was replaced as wicket-keeper by Dhruv Jurel for the remainder of the match. He wasn't required to bat in India's second innings, with the visitors earning a draw in Manchester after Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar (101 not out) all reached centuries on the final day. England leads the series 2-1 going into the final test at the Oval next week. ___ James Robson is at

England, India and a compelling Test series that is proving impossible to predict

It did not seem possible for India to pull off one of the greatest of all escapes and draw the fourth Test. Not after losing two wickets in the first over of their second innings when faced with a deficit of 311 once England had made 669. And not when KL Rahul and Shubman Gill had been dismissed on the last morning after putting on a defiant 188. Advertisement Nothing seemed more certain than an England win to clinch the series with one to play after they had scored more than 600 for only the second time in a home Test in 20 years. But a tremendous display of resilience, determination and character from Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja gave India a defiant draw that keeps the series alive, with England 2-1 ahead going into the final Test at the Oval on Thursday. This will feel like a victory to India. They came so close to winning the third Test at Lord's in another five-day epic, but then seemed to create problems for themselves with their team. The decision to fast-track seam bowler Anshul Kamboj into the side for his Test debut once they had been beset by injuries to original squad members Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh and Nitish Kumar Reddy was bizarre. Under-pressure coach Gautam Gambhir could have turned to a seam bowler who had played in this series, in Prasidh Krishna, and another awaiting his chance in Harshit Rana. Instead, India not only threw Kamboj straight into the side but gave him the new ball ahead of Mohammed Siraj and then saw him struggle to reach 80 miles per hour. Kamboj may have impressed for India A against England Lions this season, when he took five wickets in two matches, but he had returned to India after those games and there seemed no compelling reason why he should be brought back. Then there was the decision of Gill to hold back off-spinner Washington, who had taken four wickets for just 20 at Lord's, until the 69th over of an England reply to their 358, which eventually saw them run up that huge first innings total. But the biggest of all questions that faced India was their reluctance to play the forgotten man of their tour party, in unorthodox left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav. England have a traditional weakness against wrist-spin — and left-arm wrist spin is the rarest type of bowling — and have struggled against Kuldeep in the past. He lengthens their tail, but he would surely have posed a bigger threat to Kamboj and the underused Shardul Thakur. Now, in a series of twists and turns, it is India who will head to London with a spring in their tired step and England facing questions about an attack out on their feet after four long Tests and with captain Ben Stokes facing another injury worry. No one did more to pull off one of the most unlikely draws in Indian cricket history than novice captain Gill. He arrived at the crease just before lunch on the fourth day with Chris Woakes on a hat-trick after dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan, the second wicket having fallen when Gill was in the washroom. He could have been excused for imploding and giving up on the series. Not a bit of it. Advertisement Gill was close to falling lbw to Jofra Archer without scoring when TV umpire Kumar Dharmasena decided there was insufficient evidence to overturn Ahsan Raza's not out decision when it was unclear whether the ball had hit his bat or toes first. Then he could have been dismissed on 46 when Liam Dawson dropped a catch diving in the gully that he really should have taken off Brydon Carse. Gill was reprieved on the last morning on 81 when Stokes, bowling despite suffering from a shoulder injury suffered in the warm-up, saw him drive uppishly towards cover, where Ollie Pope could not hold on above his head. That should not take anything away from an India captain who went on to his fourth century of this series before eventually falling to Archer with his tally at a remarkable 722 in four matches. He is 252 behind Sir Don Bradman's record of 974 runs in a series against England in 1934, with one Test remaining. When Gill and the equally solid Rahul — who has made 602 runs in this series — went, India sent in the man who could have missed out had Kuldeep been selected, their second spinner Washington ahead of the injured Rishabh Pant and Jadeja. Washington had been on the receiving end of an English verbal attack at Lord's when he suggested on the fourth evening India would 'definitely win' the third Test. 'Jofra's coming on in a minute, Washy,' shouted Harry Brook after Gill had shielded the left-armer from facing Dawson. But Washington showed character in making his maiden Test century and adding 203 with Jadeja, who was, perhaps decisively, dropped when Joe Root juggled a slip catch off the first ball the left-hander faced from Archer. Only when there were a few of the angry words that featured at Lord's was the partnership disrupted, Stokes trying to shake hands and call it a day with 15 overs remaining, only for Jadeja and Washington to insist on batting on in search of their centuries. Advertisement It led to a farcical end when Jadeja moved to his hundred with a six off the part-time bowling of Brook, but the hard work had been done and it was understandable significant personal milestones were wanted. Even when Brook said 'f*****g hell Washy, get on with it' and then 'this century is really going to mean something' from Ben Duckett, the India batters were not deterred. Washington's hundred was a landmark in itself, as it was the 11th by an India batter in this series, the most by any visiting side in England. 'Both batted brilliantly and with both being in the 90s, we wanted to carry on,' said Gill. 'A Test hundred is a Test hundred and we felt it was worth carrying on for another three or four overs.' Stokes added: 'The hard work had been done by India. Both those batters played incredibly well and we got to the point where only one result was possible. There was no chance I was going to risk any of my fast bowlers by bowling them again and Dawson was cramping up. That's why Brook bowled.' Four tough matches on mainly slow pitches more suited to the sub-continent have left both sides exhausted and injury hit, and the relentless schedule will continue in south London. Woakes and Carse have played in all four games for England and will surely need replacing at the Oval, as will Archer, who has now played two demanding Tests in succession, having not played any cricket lasting more than 50 overs a side in more than four years. Then there is Stokes, who has been a colossus in this match but could not bowl on the fourth day and was clearly in pain with his shoulder when he forced his way through another 11 overs on Sunday. England must think long and hard before they risk their captain because his ability to play an all-round role with bat and ball remains integral to their chances of causing an upset in Australia this winter. Advertisement 'It was a workload thing,' said Stokes in playing down any injury concerns. 'I ask players to run through a brick wall, so I will always try to do the same.' Stokes will be disappointed that his spinner, in Dawson, playing his first Test in eight years, went wicketless on a last-day pitch and the captain was seen at tea telling the experienced slow bowler that he should be bowling a different line into the rough. India also have issues. They cannot pick Kamboj again, while Thakur has largely been a passenger and Siraj is another to have played in all four games. Then there is Bumrah. India have been adamant that the best bowler in the world would only play three Tests in this series to protect his troublesome back, and he twisted his ankle walking down the dressing room stairs here. Bumrah has played in three Tests now — he missed the only game India have won — but surely Gill will want him to play with the series on the line? Deep is also expected to be fit. This was only the second draw in the 40-Test reign of Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, the first here at Old Trafford when two days of rain stopped England beating Australia two years ago. The famously inclement Manchester weather had nothing to do with this one. This was down to five sessions and 11 hours of Indian defiance, patience, determination and technical excellence. And that should be celebrated as much as any individual milestone and any cricketing pyrotechnics.
