Happy birthday to your Dad! He shares it with my miniature wire-haired dachshund, Toby, who at 11 is not far behind him in dog years 😂

A tale of two Bens. Ben McKinney scored a magnificent 140 this afternoon and Ben Stokes produced a fabulous all-round performance which saw Derbyshire fall to a heavy defeat inside three days’ play.

Ben McKinney and Ben Stokes leave the field at Derby, the former having just fallen for a magnificent 140

This is a real shame - Patrick Vallance has been a really excellent and committed Science Minister who knew the territory and took a strategic view. Big shoes to fill

Patrick Vallance resigns from government
Science minister Lord Patrick Vallance has resigned from government following
Sir Keir Starmer's departure.
"After nearly a decade in Government I am stepping down as a minister, for personal reasons,

Of course there’s finally a goal when I take Toby out for his bedtime wee. I’d have sent him to bed earlier if I thought it would have that effect!

On the plus side, nothing from “sixty-one years of hurt” to “seventy-nine years of hurt” scans, so hopefully we won’t have to listen to Three Lions until 2046. #TheFootball

Tried out the 3D feature on the BBC website for the football and got stupidly excited whenever someone passed the ball to ‘me’ or ‘I’ was in space. Had it pointed out that I wasn’t playing FIFA.

Baffled by the England goalkeeper shirt so looked it up: …features a bespoke graphic with a centred crest and a striking split screen design. The artwork blends the goalkeeper's profile with the lion, creating a bold expression of presence and pride. That’s cleared that up then 🤷🏻

The 'Tweedledum' episode of Colditz that David Morrissey got so emotional about on Desert Island Discs recently is up on YouTube and really worth your time if, like me, you haven't previously had the pleasure. Gripping 70s BBC drama with a wonderful lead performance by Michael Bryant.
