England thrashed Ukraine in Rome to set up a Euro 2020 semi-final against Denmark, who edged past the Czech Republic in their last-eight clash in Baku.

British teenager Emma Raducanu made history as she reached the fourth round at Wimbledon, the British and Irish Lions won their opening tour match in South Africa and England’s final one-day international against Sri Lanka fell victim to the rain.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at some of the best pictures of the sporting weekend.
