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.
