Another layer to the fabulous absurdity of Test cricket. Balls to be scooped up and examined.
The balls from the England India Test series are being sent back to Dukes so they can examine why they are going soft. More on that and the wider situation in hereโฆ

Six-year-old son watching the women's ODI. "My favourite cricket is Test cricket," he says. Good parenting, I think. "Because you go away and I have more fun with Mummy.". What a put down.

A convoluted format for a cricket tournament. Who'd have thought it?.
Olympic cricket tournament structure has been agreed by LA 2028 organisers, IOC and ICC. ๐บ๐ธ๐
. Slightly curious model. based on T20 World Cup but no semis. India facing 0900 starts to appeal to home TV audiences. ICC will debate qualifying at AGM.

England's 8-11 next week could be Dawson, Atkinson, Carse, Archer. A fully reversible batting order.

Lara alert. .
300 up for Wiaan Mulder! Absolutely incredible! ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ . A triple century that will go down in the history books ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐. A masterclass in concentration, technique, and sheer determination from the Proteas skipper ๐ช๐ฅ. #WozaNawe

India haven't won a Test without one of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma or Ravichandran Ashwin in the team since December 2010, v South Africa in Durban.

Whatever happens in this game, England in a dilemma over their fast bowling at Lord's. Tongue and Carse have been flogged, Woakes protected today. Overton, Archer and Atkinson short of overs. Cook the only reserve that is battle hardened.

No offence to Warhammer. It's just not my thing.

England's first-Test victory over India was another reason to defend the longest format of the game, writes Stephan Shemilt.

Jon Lewis leaves UP Warriorz, Matthew Mott sacked by Seattle Orcas in MLC. Not a good day for former England coaches.
