posted 17.06.15 at 10:17pm

Simon presented the last Tuesday URN Sport of the academic year and was joined by Chris, David and Amar. First on the agenda was Queen's, and whether Rafael Nadal's early exit to the unseeded Alexandr Dolgopolov was the sign of an irreversible decline for the Spaniard.

The next topic was the England cricket team who lost the third one-day international against New Zealand at Southampton.

England beat Slovenia 3-2 on Sunday in their latest Euro 2016 qualifier. The boys discussed the match.

Finally, the panel chatted about the Copa America.

The Tuesday edition of URN Sport will be back in September. Tune in on Thursday from 6-7pm for two special reports on transgender exclusion from football, and mental welfare in sport.

Thanks to Simon for hosting the show throughout the year, and the many sports team members who have panelled.

Simon was joined by Nick and Amar in the URN studio to debate the latest stories from the sporting world. They began with cricket. Despite scoring 355 not out for Surrey, Kevin Pietersen was told on Monday night by new Director of England Cricket Andrew Strauss that he would not be considered to play in the next Ashes series due to issues of trust.

Next up was tennis, where Andy Murray recorded an encouraging win over Rafael Nadal on clay at the Madrid Masters.

F1 was up for discussion with Nico Rosberg beating Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton for the first time this season at the weekend's Spanish Grand Prix. The boys also discussed the changes to the engines.

Finally, the panel chatted Champions League, with the semi-final second legs taking place this week.
