Match scorecards The game against Surrey began badly for Durham, who saw both openers bowled inside the first five overs - Suzie Bates and Mady Villiers both dismissed by Ryana 29-3, Hollie Armitage led a revival, adding 40 with Bess Heath (27) and 38 with Mia Rogers, and although she went to 50 off 49 balls in the last over and Katherine Fraser hit the final ball of the innings for six, their score did not look it proved as Wyatt-Hodge and Bryony Smith matched each other shot for shot in bringing up a 50 partnership in the fourth launched Katie Levick over mid-wicket for a maximum, the first of two sixes in her innings to go with 11 fours, but the stand came to an end on 94 when Smith was caught in the deep off Phoebe Turner for 44 from 28 Kira Chathli opened her account with a six and made an unbeaten 19 from 13 before Wyatt-Hodge ended the game by cutting Bates to the point boundary.

Kylian Mbappe scores landmark goal as France finish third in Nations League
Goals from captain Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise earned France a 2-0 victory over Germany in Stuttgart, a success that means they finish third in this season's Nations League. Hosts of the Nations League finals, Germany were looking to bounce back from defeat in the last four against Portugal but fell behind on the stroke of halftime after Mbappe controlled and finished well to score his 50th international goal. Germany thought they had levelled through Deniz Undav early in the second half, but the VfB Stuttgart forward's finish was ruled out following a VAR review. France did, however, remain in control and should have made the result more comfortable before Mbappe squared for Olise late on to secure third spot, with Iberian neighbours Portugal and Spain facing off in the final later on Sunday. Cristiano Ronaldo's winner ensured Germany tasted defeat for the first time since last year's European Championship on Wednesday. They did start well against a France team who were beaten in a thrilling semi-final by Spain, with Florian Wirtz seeing one first-half slotted effort clip the post. Mbappe, however, made no mistake after collecting Aurelien Tchouameni's long pass. The 26-year-old now sits just one goal behind second-placed Thierry Henry in France's all-time top goalscoring charts. Undav's fine finish seemingly restored parity early in the second half, but Niclas Fuellkrug was penalised for a foul in the build-up. Had it not been for Manuel Neuer and the woodwork, France would have been out of sight long before Bayern Munich's Olise tapped home to secure victory that ends their season on a high.

Gianluigi Donnarumma plans talks with PSG bosses 'amid interest from both Man City and Man United'
Gianluigi Donnarumma is planning to sit down with Paris Saint-Germain bosses to discuss his future amid growing uncertainty over his contract situation in the French capital. His current deal runs until June 2026 and PSG are keen to extend it. But there is also no shortage of interest in the 26-year-old from elsewhere. Manchester City 's interest in the Italy No 1 is well known, and the goalkeeper's superb performances in recent months have only strengthened their admiration. Donnarumma helped PSG win a historic treble in 2024–25, which was completed last weekend when they thrashed Inter Milan 5–0 in the Champions League final. He had played a leading role in getting PSG to the final, saving two penalties in a shootout win over Liverpool in the last 16 before making 14 more stops to help eliminate Aston Villa and Arsenal. According to L'Equipe, Manchester United have now joined City in eyeing a deal for Donnarumma, who is said to have discussed the prospect of a move to England with his Italy team-mates in recent days. Speaking while on international duty, Donnarumma told reporters: 'I don't know yet what is going to happen. 'I feel good in Paris. I haven't decided anything. For now, I want to focus on the matches with the national team, and nothing else. 'The situation at the club, I will discuss in the coming days with the management and my staff. For now, it is still too early.' Talks over a new contract began several months ago but have stalled, with PSG's offer reportedly including a reduced base salary and performance-related bonuses — a structure favoured by sporting director Luis Campos in recent negotiations. While Donnarumma has said publicly that he is happy in Paris, L'Equipe report that he has, in private, sometimes lamented a lack of support and recognition from the club — especially during periods of heavy external criticism.
