Rookie Angel Reese set a new WNBA record on Sunday as she registered her 13th consecutive double-double for the Chicago Sky.

Reese, the seventh overall pick in this year’s WNBA draft, equalled Candace Parker’s previous record for the league’s longest double-double streak on Friday.

The 22-year-old then claimed 17 points and 14 rebounds for the Sky on Sunday as they lost 84-71 at the Seattle Storm.

Reese’s record came a day after Caitlin Clark became the first rookie in WNBA history to record a triple-double as the Indiana Fever rallied to win 83-78 at home to the New York Liberty.

First overall draft pick Clark, also 22, led the Fever with 19 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists.

Clark and Reese have both been selected for the WNBA All-Star game against the US women’s national team on 20 July and are in contention for this season’s Rookie of the Year award having taken their rivalry from the college game into the WNBA.

Clark top-scored for Iowa in the 2023 NCAA championship game but Reese led LSU to a 102-85 win and was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.

Clark helped Iowa avenge that defeat in this year’s competition, beating LSU 94-87 to reach the Final Four, although Iowa again lost in the championship game – this time to South Carolina.

BBC Sport’s chief football writer Phil McNulty:

England must harness the resilience they have shown in the face of adversity and the individual brilliance from Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka that has put them in the semi-final into a more cohesive team performance to beat the Netherlands.

Gareth Southgate’s side have struggled in Euro 2024 against sides who have defended deep, so the more attacking approach of the Netherlands might just suit them and give England’s creative players more room for manoeuvre.

England will need to be at their best defensively because the Dutch pose a serious threat in attack, with Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo having a fine tournament and the unpredictable Memphis Depay always dangerous.

If England get it right they can trouble a Netherlands defence that has looked vulnerable under pressure, with the potential battle between the respective captains Harry Kane and Virgil van Dijk a key component.

Kane struggled desperately in England’s quarter-final against Switzerland, looking physically short and off the pace, but you would still not bet against him taking the big chance if one comes along.

England are now, despite indifferent performances so far, in a position where they are serious contenders to win Euro 2024. They have reached the semi-finals almost in spite of themselves, but confidence must surely be growing and teams often get a sense of destiny being with them at this stage of major competitions – think Greece in 2004 and Portugal in 2016.

If England were to win their first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup, this would not surprise me – but while a sixth sense says England, the head says Spain.

Spain have looked the best team in what has been a mixed Euro 2024 although they could still come unstuck against a hugely talented but regimented France under Didier Deschamps.

None of France’s players have scored a goal from open play while Spain have been fluent with Lamine Yamal, who is not 17 until the day before the final, a revelation in a side that also boasts world-class talent in the shape of figures such as Manchester City’s Rodri.

Spain have a potent mix of youth and experience, are growing into the competition and have looked the most impressive team from the start – but I believe they will have to get past England to win Euro 2024.

WINNERS: Spain.

American Davis Thompson carded a closing seven-under-par 64 to win the John Deere Classic in Illinois by four strokes.

His maiden win on the PGA Tour secured a debut in The Open later this month for the 25-year-old.

The overnight leader made eight birdies and a single bogey at TPC Deere Run as he finished on 28 under to seal a commanding victory.

“Qualifying for The Open was just an added incentive to this,” said Thompson.

“The goal was to win the golf tournament after getting off to a great start and I was able to finish it off.”

Chinese Taipei’s CT Pan also claimed a spot in The Open at Royal Troon by finishing joint second on 24 under alongside Michael Thorbjornsen and 20-year-old amateur Luke Clanton.

Pan took the second qualifying place that was available from the John Deere Classic courtesy of his higher position in the world ranking.

England’s Aaron Rai, who was in a share of the lead going into the third round, shot a 69 to finish on 21 under.

Compatriot Harry Hall was one shot further back after a final-round 65.
