Cricket

Very good. His test bowling average is going to be insane after this match.

Being 6ft 8ins no doubt helps. Big lads can normally come up with something to trouble a batsman on any surface.

He has six five-fers in eight tests.

FYI, England/Sri Lanka T20 on BBC2 tonight

Last night's was pretty boring - the sides seem a million miles apart, and SL are particularly undercooked. Hope for a lot of Eng changes tonight and SL to get their heads in gear.

The game in itself is seeing who can send the ball into the River Taff

Well, this hasn't been a contest

Will they get to 100.

Anyone just see the kid picking his nose and (just as his dad and brothers noticed the camera was on them) EATING IT in closeup on the crickets just now? Magical.

A+ shit way to win a game

Was thinking, 'Please don't eat it, kid - you've got to go to school tomorrow'. Poor lad.

I’ve gone all giggly at the abject indignity of it. He’ll be fine… when he gets to University. And changes him name.

I don't think that was the game the BBC/ECB were hoping for. Hardly the hard hitting slog fest of T20 at its best.

The kit they have to wear is not only a disgusting design but also looks like the nastiest fabric. New Balance are taking the piss.

Took my son to Lords, absolutely epic match with Essex chasing 184 and winning with a 4 off the last ball, despite losing 5 wickets in the final 2 overs. Sat in the new Compton stand which is nice enough but, I realized to my horror, now the 3rd version of that stand that I have been in :(

This is the big game of the day right?

It is for Chris Woakes!

That's impressive by Woakes.

Bairstow's got somewhere to be

Well, this is all a bit one sided

This whole series has been a drubbing so far. Of course it's always good to see England win but they might not even make this a T20 today... makes a bit of a mockery of it.

Not enjoying these mismatches, or seeing SL so out-of-sorts, but if they do wrap it up double-quick, we can concentrate on the Tour for the rest of the afternoon.

Had tickets for today but because my other half has to self-isolate for a week so decided to leave it. Called up and got my refund at £45 a ticket no questions asked, and got some beer instead.

Brilliant decision if I may say so

Sounds like fate to me.

Looks like they will post around 160.

Not much of a contest.

There's something so shithouse about getting bounced out by Sam Curran

Just checking in post Tour. Can't believe they managed to exceed 200 given the start. Feels like a failure to capitalise from England but I haven't been watching. Have we just been flat or have SL picked themselves up?
