Whitney here with your Sunday afternoon update.

:00:00.:00:00.

Who was crowned the winner of Pitch Battle?

:00:07.:00:11.

And gold glory for Britains para athletes.

:00:12.:00:23.

First, to New Zealand's South Island where thousands of people

:00:24.:00:26.

are returning to their homes after a huge storm.

:00:27.:00:29.

Torrential rain caused serious flooding and landslides left

:00:30.:00:32.

Next up, we're going live to Lord's in London

:00:33.:00:40.

David Ornstein is there for BBC Sport.

:00:41.:00:45.

England won the toss, decided to bat, scored 228-7 in their 50 overs

:00:46.:01:04.

and that means that India have to score 229 to win the World Cup.

:01:05.:01:08.

Currently, they are having lunch. There are all sorts of family

:01:09.:01:12.

friendly activities going on inside Lord's behind me, but this day is

:01:13.:01:18.

much more than the result, it is about the occasion. This tournament

:01:19.:01:21.

has seen women's cricket become such a focal point for the public. Not so

:01:22.:01:28.

long ago, nobody knew so much about women's cricket. It has been a great

:01:29.:01:31.

success and that culminates today with the final at Lord's. 26,500

:01:32.:01:38.

people are inside the grounds. It is a sell-out. The biggest ever crowd

:01:39.:01:43.

for a women's cricket match in the UK. England have won three times.

:01:44.:01:49.

India, if they win, their first-ever title and that would be amazing for

:01:50.:01:53.

a cricket loving nation. Thanks, David.

:01:54.:01:58.

Britain's Chris Froome is on track to win the Tour de France later.

:01:59.:02:01.

He increased his overall lead yesterday.

:02:02.:02:03.

Today's final stage will take them to Paris and it's tradition

:02:04.:02:05.

that the other cyclists do not challenge the leader

:02:06.:02:07.

It will be the third year in a row that Froome will have won the Tour.

:02:08.:02:12.

And it was the grand final of Pitch Battle last

:02:13.:02:15.

night and singing group Leeds Contemporary Singers

:02:16.:02:16.

They managed to beat All The King's Men.

:02:17.:02:21.

30 hopeful groups were narrowed down to just six over five weeks.

:02:22.:02:26.

And there are more gold medals for Great Britain in the World Para

:02:27.:02:29.

Sophie Hahn won the T38 100m, beating teammate Kadeena Cox

:02:30.:02:36.

Georgie Hermitage won her second gold in the T37 100m.

:02:37.:02:43.

And in the shot put, Aled Davis took gold.

:02:44.:02:47.

Britain's medal total now stands at 35.

:02:48.:02:50.

I am just so happy that I've done it because I've been in this shape

:02:51.:02:54.

for months and shot put's been the full focus and I told my coach

:02:55.:02:57.

earlier on in the year, "I want to throw a PB,

:02:58.:03:00.

a world record, at the home championships."

:03:01.:03:03.

He said, "Right, let's do it," so that's what we did.

:03:04.:03:07.

Next up, a famous TV presenter needs your help with these guys.

:03:08.:03:10.

Just some of the UK's most common types of butterfly.

:03:11.:03:20.

Scientists say there are fewer and fewer around now.

:03:21.:03:23.

He is president of a butterfly conservation charity and they have

:03:24.:03:29.

Last year was the fourth worst year on record for the butterflies.

:03:30.:03:37.

But what people can do is to go into their garden or an open place,

:03:38.:03:42.

some sunny place, and start looking around for 15 minutes and tell us

:03:43.:03:48.

how many butterflies they saw and what kind they were.

:03:49.:03:51.

Even if they don't see any at all, that is an important

:03:52.:03:54.

And that will give us a lot of very valuable statistics

:03:55.:04:00.

It is hoped that this year's warm weather could help the butterfly

:04:01.:04:05.

And when they come up, of course, they are very important

:04:06.:04:17.

because they actually fertilise plants, pollinate them.

:04:18.:04:22.

So, hopefully, you and Sir David Attenborough will see more

:04:23.:04:24.

One of the fastest swimmers on Earth, Michael Phelps,

:04:25.:04:32.

is taking up a pretty weird challenge - he's racing a shark.

:04:33.:04:35.

But what do you do when you are one of the greatest professional

:04:36.:04:50.

As part of a special challenge, Michael will attempt to swim faster

:04:51.:04:57.

than a great white shark in a 100-metre race.

:04:58.:05:01.

Great white sharks can swim up to speeds of 25mph when they need

:05:02.:05:09.

to, whereas Michael can only swim around 6mph.

:05:10.:05:10.

Michael will be wearing a special monofin, a bit

:05:11.:05:20.

like a mermaid's tail, to help propel him

:05:21.:05:22.

But we will have to wait and see how he does.

:05:23.:05:28.

And we've been asking what you're up to for your summer holidays.

:05:29.:05:31.

Well, Thomas is living it up in London.

:05:32.:05:34.

He's off to the zoo and checking out the Crown Jewels.

:05:35.:05:36.

Meanwhile, Harry's got a busy holiday.

:05:37.:05:38.

He's off to the cinema and gaming festival.

:05:39.:05:42.

Newsround's back right here tomorrow morning with Ayshah.

:05:43.:05:48.

Calling all CBBC gamers - we want you to tell us

:05:49.:05:59.

about your pets in the Pets Factor Furry Friends game.

:06:00.:06:02.
