Talking of spinners I had Tuffers in front of me at the petrol station yesterday.

Hahah the cat. Remember his epic performance v the Aussies

Well I suppose given the nature of the pitch last week its not too bad a decision, the only thing is now its going to be a spinning top, no way it isn't starting as a day 2/3 pitch even after treatment and a few days break

I mentioned to my mate that I noticed the Pakistani team seem to throw the ball back quickly from the outfield without much care of how accurate their throws are, wonder if it is to make the batsmen run quicker to drain their energy? They appear to be doing it again today.

He's certainly smartened himself up from his early days, remember seeing him drinking in the Tavern with a fag on the go dressed in his long leather coat and dodgy ponytail, hardly a picture of an elite sportsman more like your local dealer.

I find it very difficult to listen to Alex Hartley on TMS. Apart from her squeaky, helium northern voice she has an annoying habit of telling us how bowlers should bowl, how batters should bat, how captains should captain.

I had forgotten it started today, thought it was tomorrow. Hard to say if that's a good score for England but it's a meaningless result whatever on a pitch like that.

So Warner has put his hand up to come out of Test retirement. Seems the selectors and Cummins are politely suggesting he jogs on.

I do hope he does and is in the ashes, its so much better for it. And I am going to Aus for it

Liam Livingstone, wow. Guy has always been box office but he seems to be showing a bit more maturity in his innings of late aswell. Brilliant knock....
