The stage is set for a thrilling night of football as England's men's team looks to take another giant stride towards the World Cup knockout stages with a clash against Ghana. Tonight's 8 PM kick-off on BBC One will be the perfect opportunity for Thomas Tuchel's side to show off their mettle and secure a spot in the latter rounds, where they'll face even stiffer competition. With an impressive 4-2 victory over Croatia already under their belt, England have firmly planted themselves as one of the tournament favourites – but Ghana, ranked 65th globally, won't make it easy for them.
Elsewhere, Portugal's star-studded lineup, featuring Cristiano Ronaldo, will be hoping to get back on track against Uzbekistan. Their previous match saw them draw 1-1 with DR Congo in Group K, and the pressure is mounting on the team's captain, who was heavily criticised for his subdued performance. A win today could be just what Ronaldo needs to silence his critics once and for all – coverage begins at 5 PM on ITV.
The spotlight will also be shining bright on Trent Bridge today as England head coach Brendon McCullum takes centre stage ahead of the crucial third Test against New Zealand. The lead-up to this crunch encounter has been far from smooth sailing, with questions raised about the team's dynamics and leadership following a recent off-field incident involving captain Ben Stokes. Despite being cleared of any further action, Stokes will be back in action alongside Gus Atkinson – and McCullum is expected to address the elephant in the room at his press conference today.
It's not just the men who are grabbing the headlines, though! Scotland's women's cricket team will be looking to bounce back from a recent defeat when they take on New Zealand in the Women's T20 World Cup. With a 10 AM start time and live coverage on Sky Sports Cricket, this one promises to be an absolute thrill-ride – and Australia could also secure a semi-final spot if they beat Pakistan later today at 6 PM on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Cricket.
Finally, for tennis fans, there's plenty to get excited about too! The Bad Homburg Open and Mallorca Championships are both underway, with live coverage kicking off at 10:30 AM on Sky Sports Tennis and Sky Sports Plus. British players could be in action across both tournaments – don't miss out!
