Matteo Berrettini broke British hearts at Queen's and Wales reached the last 16 at Euro 2020 on Sunday.

The oldest international rivalry in football took place at Wembley as England played out a goalless draw with Scotland on Friday night.

John Stones hit the post in the first half, while Jordan Pickford produced a fine save to deny Stephen O'Donnell in a tense Group D clash in the European Championship.

Matteo Berrettini broke British hearts at Queen's, Wales reached the last 16 at Euro 2020 and New Zealand seamer Kyle Jamieson produced a bowling masterclass at the Ageas Bowl in the World Test Championship against India.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at some of the key images from across the weekend.
