Hi, Ayshah here with all the news you need to know

0:00:050:00:07

this Monday morning.

0:00:070:00:09

Coming up in the next few minutes: England are on top of the world.

0:00:090:00:15

And find out why it was a happy ending for these two elephants.

0:00:150:00:18

First up - England's cricket team completed an amazing fightback

0:00:270:00:30

to beat India by nine runs yesterday and win the Women's

0:00:300:00:34

World Cup at Lord's.

0:00:340:00:36

Here's how England got their hands on the winning trophy.

0:00:360:00:41

After losing their opening game against India, England's cricket

0:00:410:00:43

team won the rest of their matches and faced India in

0:00:430:00:48

the World Cup final.

0:00:480:00:51

Fans were queuing round the block as they waited to see the England

0:00:510:00:55

team come out to a sell-out crowd of 26,500 fans in one of the biggest

0:00:550:01:00

matches of their lives.

0:01:000:01:04

After tossing a coin, England chose to bat first.

0:01:040:01:06

They scored 228 runs.

0:01:060:01:08

This meant India then had to score 229 to win.

0:01:080:01:12

At one point, it looked like India were going to win easily.

0:01:120:01:18

But then in a short amount of time, England had an amazing comeback

0:01:180:01:23

by taking seven more wickets to get India all out for 219 and win

0:01:230:01:29

the World Cup final.

0:01:290:01:32

Anya Shrubsole got six out of the ten wickets that England

0:01:320:01:35

needed to win the game.

0:01:350:01:37

England's Tammy Beaumont was also named player of the tournament.

0:01:370:01:41

It was a spectacular way for England to be

0:01:410:01:44

crowned champions of the

0:01:440:01:45

world.

0:01:450:01:48

And BBC Sport's David Ornstein was actually at Lord's

0:01:520:01:54

to see the winning match, and he sent us this.

0:01:540:01:58

This tournament had already been an amazing success

0:01:580:02:01

with record ticket sales, record television audiences

0:02:010:02:02

and some fantastic cricket.

0:02:020:02:08

But the final took it to a totally new level

0:02:080:02:10

with almost 27,000 fans packed into Lord's,

0:02:100:02:13

that's the biggest crowd for

0:02:130:02:14

a women's cricket match in British history.

0:02:140:02:21

And what a match it was, with England winning

0:02:210:02:23

the World Cup, it's

0:02:230:02:24

not often we can see that.

0:02:240:02:26

It wasn't only a victory for them, but also

0:02:260:02:28

for women's cricket and women's sport as a whole on a day that

0:02:280:02:31

brought new audiences, young people and family into cricket.

0:02:310:02:34

And dreams certainly did come true for star player Anya Shrubsole.

0:02:340:02:38

Before the final, her dad tweeted a picture of his daughter

0:02:380:02:41

as a nine-year-old who said she wanted to play in

0:02:410:02:44

a World Cup final at Lord's.

0:02:440:02:48

And you can go online to send your congratulations

0:02:480:02:50

to the England team on the Newsround website.

0:02:500:02:54

And there has been even more sporting success over the weekend.

0:02:540:02:58

In cycling - Britain's Chris Froome won the Tour de France

0:02:580:03:01

for the fourth time.

0:03:010:03:04

England beat Spain 2-0 to take a huge step towards

0:03:040:03:07

the Women's Euro quarter-finals.

0:03:070:03:09

And although Scotland lost 2-1 to Portugal,

0:03:090:03:12

there is a chance they could qualify in the championship.

0:03:120:03:16

And Sammi Kinghorn won gold on the final day of the World

0:03:160:03:19

Paraathletics Championships as Britain finished with their best

0:03:190:03:21

medals result for 19 years.

0:03:210:03:27

Next, Great Britain's under 23s team took on Turkey at the World

0:03:270:03:30

Wheelchair Basketball Championships last month - and for the first

0:03:300:03:34

time they won gold!

0:03:340:03:36

Hayley went to meet the team in Sheffield, where they train.

0:03:360:03:42

It was this match with this shot that gave the GB team the winning

0:03:420:03:46

trophy.

0:03:460:03:50

But it hasn't stopped there, the team have

0:03:530:03:55

reunited here in Sheffield

0:03:550:04:03

because they are now training around the clock

0:04:030:04:04

for the European basketball

0:04:040:04:06

championships, and is even some hope for Paralympic success in the

0:04:060:04:08

future.

0:04:080:04:09

We'd been back just over two weeks, so it is starting to set in.

0:04:090:04:13

You look back, since I've been back I've not thought about it too much.

0:04:130:04:18

It's good to have a think back, you don't get much time to stop and

0:04:180:04:26

think about the stuff we've achieved.

0:04:260:04:27

What is it about wheelchair possible you love?

0:04:270:04:30

Everything, I'm really competitive.

0:04:300:04:30

I've always been so competitive, every aspect has made

0:04:300:04:33

my life a million times better than without it.

0:04:330:04:35

What is next for you guys?

0:04:350:04:37

Could we be seeing Paralympics in 2020?

0:04:370:04:47

I hope so, if we could achieve gold, that is my

0:04:470:04:49

dream.

0:04:490:04:50

We will keep our eyes open.

0:04:500:04:52

I'm going to set you a challenge, from the halfway line, you've got to

0:04:520:04:55

get this in.

0:04:550:04:56

Are you up for it?

0:04:560:04:59

CHEERING

0:05:110:05:15

There you go, it only took them 30 seconds to smash the

0:05:150:05:17

Newsround challenge, so there's no stopping them now.

0:05:170:05:23

Doctor Who fans have often wandered

0:05:290:05:31

what the Time Lord's name actually is.

0:05:310:05:32

Well, Doctor Who boss, Steven Moffat has revealed his name

0:05:320:05:35

is Doctor Who and not the Doctor, as many believe.

0:05:350:05:39

And it was a happy ending for two elephants washed out to sea.

0:05:390:05:47

The two young elephants were saved from drowning yesterday

0:05:470:05:49

by the Sri Lankan navy.

0:05:490:05:53

That's all from me, the Newsround team will be back at 4.20.
