    Anyone who is not excited about tomorrow's conclusion to this test is not normal.

    Poor captaincy allowing their tailenders to get another 60 this morning.

    Free admission to Trent Bridge today apparently. Tempting for anyone who lives up there.

    Is anyone supposed to believe what it going on at Headingley?

    On Saturday, Ben Foakes was not keeping wicket because he had a back problem and had been sent to the team hotel, so there was a substitute fielder. Jonny Bairstow put on the wicketkeeping gloves, fortunate for England that they had another wicketkeeper in the side.

    On Sunday morning it is reported that Ben Foakes has failed a plague test, so England have had Sam Billings drive up to Leeds overnight as a Covid substitute; and he now has the gloves on.

    Where did they manage to get a dodgy Covid test kit from to make backache give a positive result? I want one so that I can skive off work for a couple of weeks on the sick without having to use up holiday days.

    The Tories want one for Boris so they can sign him off on the sick and get in a substitute.

    Faking a covid test result would not be cricket.

    It's rain at dirty Leeds, so we can watch the England Ladies v SA ladies instead.

    Yippee.

    Laura Bell has some beautiful bouncers in her Armoury. Real swingers straight into the batswoman's face.

    Oirland chasing 226 against India in T20 international, a tough ask.
