Glad the Rockets won in the end.
Wicket-keepers are usually gobby but if you're mouthing off as the bowler's approaching his delivery stride regularly enough to get warned for it like Phil Salt did you're a cheating twat.

A wee reminder for the fantasy league players… the county championship kicks off again tomorrow.
Check your teams.

The commentary in the CPL is infuriating. Referring to pretty much every catch as a "Republic bank classic" and 6s as a "hero maximum". I guess that's franchise cricket for you...
I'm fortunate enough to be going to the St Lucia game on Thursday night but I can't pretend I'm a big fan of the whole franchise vibe. Give me a dour St Lucia v Barbados 4 day game any day of the week 😆

Aaaaaargh…
Disaster.
I’m a man short in my squad so I’m going to score zero points this week.
Ah well. It’ll make the final two games exciting!

Not the first time Afghan fans have bizarrely resorted to violence and vandalising at a cricket match.

Went to Old Trafford yesterday for the Roses match.
I am very biased, but Keaton Jennings and Luke Wells have formed a formidable opening partnership this season. Jennings now having scored 1014 runs in just 14 inns, and Wells 940 runs in 19 inns. Wells 100 yesterday came off just 65 balls and it was some of the cleanest, purest cricket shots i've ever seen, absolutely superb knock.

With all our opening problems and with Jennings being such a good player of spin I'm shocked he wasn't recalled at some point, he must have a chance to tour Pakistan surely?

Yeah i'd agree he would deffo be worth adding to the squad as an option. He plays spin very well, but has more scoring options now. He looks very organised and comfortable with his game, whereas his previous chances with England he's been a bit uncertain how to play and this has come across in his dismissals.

He was always incredibly vulnerable against full balls on off that shaped away. Which is an unfortunate weakness for an opening bat to have.

From what i've seen of him this season, he seems to have better clarity/judgement around that off stump area. He's left the ball very well and only played when required. To get a triple hundred as he did against Somerset earlier this season, you need to have good judgement and concentration

Great start. But is this really going to be day 3? If so, it’s almost certain to be a draw even with a big SA collapse.

Great morning all round. Respectful tribute for the Queen that will be seen the world around and then some world class bowling the first hour especially particularly the consistency of our length. Robinson has been sublime
