Edmund, from Beverley, was 5-2 up against Serbia's Dusan Lajovic before they were forced off court at about 15:30 local time because of rain.

Organisers waited to see if the conditions improved before calling off the matches which were started but not finished before the deluge.

They eventually cancelled all outdoor matches at 19:35 local time.

Two people have suffered minor injuries after 10 vehicles collided near Penistone, near Barnsley.

South Yorkshire Police said the crash happened at about 06:40 this morning on the A616 Stocksbridge bypass near Flouch. The road was closed between the A628 roundabout and Mortimer Road, near Midhopestones.

The road was closed in both directions while emergency services dealt with the incident, but has now been re-opened:

I’m out with South Yorkshire Police officers this morning during what's known as Operation Duxford.

It’s not just speeding drivers which officers are stopping as part of the initiative - though that's a major focus.

One van driver was stopped on the M18 after he was found to have no insurance.

Both marked and undercover cars are being used as part of the operation

PC Sophie Drinkall, from South Yorkshire Police, tells me: "We missed this morning’s briefing because we’ve already stopped two vehicles for speeding.

"It turns out this van here [pictured] did have insurance," she added.

Mining company Anglo American has said it will step in to save a £4bn potash mine project in North Yorkshire which promises to be Britain's largest in decades.

The firm has made a £405m bid to buy the shares of Sirius Minerals, a move which may safeguard thousands of jobs Sirius claims it could create in the area.

Earlier this month, Anglo American said it was in advanced talks about a possible offer of 5.5p per share.

It would value Sirius Minerals at £386m, but mean a significant loss for thousands of smaller shareholders.

The future of the mine, at Boulby, near Staithes, has been in doubt after Sirius failed to raise cash to unlock funding.

The mine would extract polyhalite, a naturally occurring fertiliser which is used in agriculture, from a mile underground the North York Moors National Park.

The extracted mineral would be transported on a conveyor belt through a 23-mile (37km) tunnel to Teesside, from where it would be shipped to customers.

The mine had been expected to open in 2021 and create 1,000 jobs, although Sirius Minerals slowed construction work at the end of 2019 due to its funding problems.

Delays continue on the M1 southbound in South Yorkshire between J36 Tankersley and J35A near Stocksbridge following an earlier accident.

Traffic remains very heavy on all approaches to J36 (pictured), with vehicles being diverted via the A61 and A616.

Police have confirmed that the crash happened at about 05:30 and involved a vehicle and a pedestrian.

Delays are expected to continue "for some time" and drivers are being asked by police to avoid the area if at all possible.

Building the high-speed rail link HS2 could cost up to £106bn, a government-commissioned review has said.

The unpublished report, seen by the Financial Times, external, says there is "considerable risk" that estimated costs could rise by another 20%.

In 2015, HS2 - a branch of which would run from London through South Yorkshire to Leeds, with a branch running into North Yorkshire - was set to cost £56bn.

The review also recommends pausing the second phase of the project while experts look at whether conventional lines could help link Birmingham to Manchester and Leeds instead.

Some £8bn has already been spent on the project, which will connect London, the Midlands and northern England using trains capable of travelling at 250mph.

BBC transport correspondent Tom Burridge said that "on balance", the review recommends the government should proceed with the project, but he added this "is hardly a ringing endorsement".

A crash on the M1 which has led to the closure of the motorway southbound between Tankersley and Stocksbridge involved a vehicle and a pedestrian, police have confirmed.

The collision happened at about 05:30 this morning between J36 and J35A, leading to major rush-hour delays (pictured) and traffic being turned around near the scene.

The M1 is expected to remain closed "for some time" as investigations continue at the scene, according to South Yorkshire Police.

Traffic is being diverted via the A61 and the A616, but there are also problems on the latter route after a multi-vehicle crash between A628 Flouch Roundabout and Mortimer Road at Midhopestones.

Drivers are being asked by police to avoid the area completely if at all possible.

I'm with police officers in South Yorkshire this morning who have begun an operation targeting speeding drivers in the county.

Operation Duxford is an initiative focusing on one specific issue.

Speeding was chosen as the issue to tackle following a public poll, the force said.

Supt Paul McCurry tells me: “Our primary focus today is around education, but we are out on our road network and we are visible.

"We want to demonstrate to the community that we take their complaints seriously.”

The M1 remains closed southbound in South Yorkshire between J36 Tankersley and J35A near Stocksbridge following an earlier accident.

Congestion is as far back as J37, with delays currently running at about 40 minutes.

Traffic caught in the area is being turned around and released, but there is very heavy congestion on all approaches to J36.

Traffic is being diverted via the A61 and A616.

However, the A616 is also closed in both directions due to a multi-vehicle accident between A628 (Flouch Roundabout) and Mortimer Road (Midhopestones).

Two people have been charged with murder over the fatal stabbing of a man in Huddersfield last week.

Robert Wilson, 53, from Birstall, and another man were attacked by "several people" near the Thornton and Ross factory on Manchester Road in Linthwaite on Thursday.

A post-mortem examination revealed Mr Wilson died from multiple stab wounds. The other victim was left with "non-life-threatening injuries".

An 18-year-old man and a 15-year-old male have been charged with murdering Mr Wilson, police have confirmed.

The 18-year-old has also been charged with two offences of possession of a bladed article and assault, while the 15-year-old has also been charged with possession of a bladed article.

They are due to appear before Leeds Magistrates' Court later, police say.

Vehicles are being diverted off the motorway via the A61 and A616, with disruption expected in the area for some time to come.

The M1 motorway has been closed in South Yorkshire due to a serious crash.

The southbound carriageway has been disrupted between J36 at Tankersley and J35A at Stocksbridge since about 05:40.

Traffic stuck between the junctions is being turned around and there is about 0.6 miles of traffic to be turned round, said Highways England.

Traffic is being diverted off the motorway via the A61 and A616, drivers are expected to face disruption and longer journey times.

Traffic is currently queuing about five miles back to J38 Haigh, said Highways England.
