Here’s how to follow along with our coverage – the finest writing and up-to-the-minute reports

SaturdaySundayWomen’s T20 cricket1.30pmEngland v India liveEngland were outplayed by India as they fell to a 38-run defeat in the first of their pre-T20 World Cup meetings. England, who still await the return of Danni Wyatt-Hodge from maternity leave and Nat Sciver-Brunt from injury, were set a target of 189 to win but managed just 150 for eight in Chelmsford. The three-match series continues with the second T20 game at Bristol and the hosts’ stand-in captain, Charlie Dean, will be expecting improvements from the openers Alice Capsey and Sophia Dunkley. Tanya Aldred has over-by-over commentary while Raf Nicholson reports.

If any team have the tools to stop PSG from becoming just the second team to retain the title in the Champions League era, it’s surely Arsenal. Winning the Premier League for the first time since 2004 has removed a burden from players carrying heavy expectations after so many near misses in recent seasons. Mikel Arteta’s side have the Champions League’s meanest defence this season but Luis Enrique’s team topped the scoring chart in this season’s competition with 44 goals – an average of more than three per game – and blew away Inter 5-0 in last year’s final. Rob Smyth buckles up to bring you all the buildup and action from the Puskas Arena in Budapest, with David Hytner, Barney Ronay and Ed Aarons our reporting team at the final.

Daniel Harris picks up the baton for day eight of all the action at Roland Garros at the helm of our live blog. The women’s draw is packed with star names and dark horses, with the defending women’s champion, Coco Gauff, plus the heavyweights Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek the favourites as things stand.

Less than 24 hours after Mikel Arteta’s side face PSG in Budapest, they’ll be parading at least one trophy from the top deck of an open-top bus along the thronging streets of Islington. Regardless of the result of Saturday’s Champions League final, the Gunners will at the very least be displaying the Premier League trophy after ending a 22-year wait for the title. The women’s side will be joining the party too, parading the Women’s Champions Cup they won in February, beating Brazil’s Corinthians in the final. The parade will take in Highbury, Canonbury and Upper Street before returning to the area around the Emirates Stadium, with John Brewin keeping pace with all the celebrations in north London.

A historic day for Brighton as they play in the Women’s FA Cup final for the first time. Having seen off Arsenal and Liverpool en route to Wembley, there is a sense of growing confidence among Dario Vidosic’s underdogs as they face City, the WSL champions. Brighton have lost just once in seven games and beat Andrée Jeglertz’s side 3-2 in April, a victory that will give them heart against a side seeking a fourth Cup triumph to complete the Double. Rob Smyth hosts the blog with Tom Garry reporting from Wembley.
