Root was well set there. His dismissal did look as if it may have been a back foot no ball. Difficult to see from the view we have seen.

247 the target for England to go past both 1st innings scores from the oval earlier. The oval pitch can't have been suitable for first class cricket today.

The next round of champo games starts shortly. We need to play a game of which county has provided the best result strip... Verdant green or absolute dust bowl... Pictures please.

A serious democratic society simply cannot allow this. That's £72 million from just two men. (Both, until lately, based overseas). The average UK earner (full-time) would have to work for over 1,800 years to raise that much. It's a nuclear strike on any pretence at the equality of political power

With the 2nd new ball 15 overs away, Archer and Robinson should not be bowling at the moment.

Just to confirm that I have been using H4L bats and saying they are great since before Ollie Robinson was hitting the balls into the Hollies 😂

Listen people. The end of this Champo season is incredible. If there was ever a time to go full evangelical to our friends who don't care about county cricket or cricket in general, this is it. This is what us sad online cricket nerds have trained for.

Turns out Jamie Smith is a rather better keeper than people give him credit for. Cox is doing well, but his takes are not as clean as Smiths standing up.

The Anderson and Broad painting at first glance looks great. But on second glance... They are wearing different kit and Broad has been shrunk by 4 inches next to Jimmy. Could actually be a bit of a shocker...😬😬😂😂

I don't think there is a batter I want to watch less than Steve Smith, he is the antithesis of classical batting. I know he is one of the all time greats. He also got an absolute shocker this morning!

There's a truth in here, but Farage can't see it. Far from being a kangaroo court, the Parliamentary Standards system is incredibly forgiving. If Farage had put his hands up at the start and said "honest mistake, guv, misunderstood the rules", he'd probably have got away with an apology.

Bangladesh have now batted for 110 overs. The Aussies are mostly over 34. This is going to hurt them. This is what England should have been doing in the Ashes. Bat very long, get fielding time into the Aussies. Top performance from the Bangers.

Bangladesh, with each passing session, are making England's ashes performance look worse. If that was possible. *Note I realise that that this post may not age well...

I am watching a woman's hundred match. LS are well on top. The MI batters all play with really "low" hands. They aren't able to get over or through the ball as a general rule. LS have bowled well. The standard is noticeably better than 3 or 4 years ago.

Apparently Flemming has approached Mike Hussey to be the England batting coach. Now I am sure Hussey would be good. But there are two guys, one called Trott and one called Bell who might be ok and who played for England. Have they been asked first?

In the Just Good Friends Christmas Special from 1984, there is a joke which amounts to ”imagine if a 99 cost a whole 99p omg!” But the price coincidentally hit 99p around the late 80s/early 90s when a lot of people who are 40/50-something today were kids.

Not to be Captain Skeptic about this. But a 99 Flake isn’t called a 99 because it was meant to be 99p. (Despite the howls of Reform voters incensed by the price of Freddos and ice cream.) 🍦 Leaving aside that they were introduced before decimalisation, in the 70s they were 10-15p.
