    Broad has destroyed the NZ top order, hopefully this will be over long before 4pm.

    All of a sudden, Britain finally has some great motorbike racers. Got Danny Kent hanging about in Moto2 too.

    From the 15 rounds I did last night, about 10 of them were in British Columbia.

    This is the first time that I've watched any significant duration of a cricket match. I now am unable to fathom how tests end with several hundred runs scored.

    Sometimes you can watch for hours and the batsmen are so much in charge you can't see where a wicket is coming from. It's all about the state of the pitch helping the ball bounce off the seam, weather conditions favouring swing bowling, and loads of other factors. It looks to me like Broad was spurred on by Jimmy Anderson's efforts in the first innings and wanted some of the glory himself, which is exactly what his captain would have asked for.

    Every Prem league team to score 200/1 put a tenner on.

    There's only one way for this to end...every team save Stoke will score.

    It can often be summed up in two words: the wicket.

    Or a single word - momentum.

    BTW, whoever put Geoguessr on here, thanks! I think it's going to keep me entertained for a while. What are the best scores so far? I just got 9867 for my first attempt which I suspect is way off the pace!

    Crutchlow comes home in 2nd place, fantastic ride despite the obvious disadvantage of being half dead.

    And Crutchlow gets second. Pedrosa won and that pesky youngster, Marquez got third, after slipping off the track once or twice.

    No worries mate, I would have been watching the Moto3 and Moto2 races live [instead of watching them later] rather than revising.

    Anyone recommend a website where I can do the same? I can't use Skybet for a free £10 bet as I've used it before.
