Sky go doesn't work abroad so that's handy for you.

Wish I was abroad pissing it down in Northumberland today.

Where's the heatwave we had this time last year. The climate change deniers are out in full force!!!

Neither does Now TV, although I’m sure it used to as I watched the Ireland test on it in 2019 with no VPN etc. anyway my wife’s iPad erm thinks it’s in Manchester so we’re all good

Afternoon all.

I've been stuck in meetings at the office all day, haven't been able to follow.

I presume Woakes has been bowling well, how have the rest gone?

 

[CartyDurham]

Looking forward to seeing Green

 

[CartyDurham]

Keystone Cops time

no slips, forgetting the wickets exist and hope somebody top edges one

or maybe that’s just for Head

 

[GIMH]

Hoylake is on God’s own peninsula btw. Incredible the transformation of it since they got the Open back in 06 after I think a very long break.

Daughter’s boyfriend lives over the road from the course. His folks have ****ed off on a cruise and left him waiting on the people who are renting rooms from them for The Open…a couple of household names in that too.

Never got into golf myself

This is the kind of pitch I expect England to bat really well on

Australia need lot more. Ashes defining session

BROAD 600 is up. A fantastic effort and achievement

[Aidan11]

600 for Broad who now has more test wickets v Australia than any other bowler.

 

[Alex0paul]

Not even going to make 300 here
