    Am exhausted after watching the NSW v Queensland State of Origin game - quite possibly the best game I've ever seen. From start to finish, fast paced with bruising defence from both sides - and plenty of skill.

    And Queensland reign supreme again...

    Rory has it spot on regarding this new golf tour funded by Saudi Arabia.

    Mind you the main usual golf tours don’t seem that bothered as they have let the players join and still play in the majors .

    Bit like the Newcastle fans - they don’t care where the money is frin as long as it’s theirs .

    Didn’t realise that the first event is in Hertfordshire!

    Or rather as all the media outlets say “near London “

    The second Test against NZ is certainly different from the first. NZ's first innings just ended - 553 all out after being sent in.

    Bit of a field day for someone like Root.

    Could get his highest ever score at this rate and more.

    Just had a giggle at an SSN headline - apparently, Castleford Rugby League club have agreed to release one of their players from his contract so that "the hooker can take part in Love Island." :)

    I spent an afternoon watching cricket instead of doing things out in the garden

    One of the best afternoons cricket I have watched in a long time and the hour after the tea break was better than any football game I can remember

    The only way it could have been better would have been the final match to win the Ashes against Australia

    Now I am watching England against Hungary, what a downer

    You must have our place bugged... What I said to Mrs Fez, verbatim. Give or take a hack and a wheeze.

    Cricket can be as dull as dishwater but over the last two tests this has been entertakinment galore and if all tests were like this there would be no need to mess around with T20;s etc

    Well done to Matt Fitzpatrick on his first golf major success.

    On the same course where he won the US Amateur Championship a few years ago.

    Obviously likes that particular course!

    Another mini-collapse by England's batting line up - 91/6 at tea, trailing NZ by 238 runs.

    Extraordinary day of test cricket. 55 - 6 to 264 - 6 is not normal.

    This series is renewing my interest in cricket again, for a long time I have only been interested in Tests against the West Indies and the Ashes against the Aussies

    This current test is the Cricket version of Watford 0 Man City 5 at half time with the score at 90 minutes Watford 5 Man City 5 with Watford having a free kick in a dangerous situation for Man City

    The free kick to be reviewed tomorrow
