British forces opened the second phase of the Somme offensive gaining important successes. They penetrated German defenses over about four miles, captured Bazentine-le-Grand Bazentine-le-Petit and Longueval, and advanced in Trones wood and surrounding areas.

The British press notes the rapid gains and continued fighting as troops consolidate positions.
