1st Slip Please

Probably. But in this case I think it may be good captaincy (and back room support) getting the match-ups right for the conditions on the day, IMHO.

Blimey! That was wrapped up quickly by England. Great figures from Linsey Smith (4-2-7-3) and the skipper NSB (3-1-5-2). Hopefully they'll not falter and knock them off easily.

#ICCWWC #EngvSA #Cricket #EnglandWomen

That deflated feeling when you have managed to not hear or see the result, so sit down on a Saturday morning to watch the game over breakfast only to find out it was match abandoned.......

#IrevEng #T20I #IT20 #cricket

Ended with 230 off 106 balls......

Not bad this Salt chap.....so far 221 runs off 97 balls without being dismissed since his return a couple of days ago....

#Cricket #IT20 #T20I

Can you declare an IT20 innings?

#EngvSA #IT20 #T20I #Cricket

Blimey! 150 up in the 9th over.....

#EngvSA #IT20 #T20I

Is 300 on?

#EngvSA #T20I

I thought I would enjoying a pleasant drive home listening to the England bowling response. Not now, I doubt I'll make it to my car before the game is over, one way or another......

#EngvSA #cricket #ODI

Adil does have ten first class centuries......just saying......

#EngvSA #cricket #ODI

Or maybe 120, but even that is now looking a trifle iffy......

OK - well maybe we'll make it to 125........

Just as I was about to post that I hope Jacks and Buttler settle down to see out most of the last 30 overs and Jacks goes and does that.........May struggle to get to 200 here unless the tail can stick with Jos......

#EngvSA #cricket #ODI

Get up for the #BritishandIrishLions thinking it was a 9:30 kick off. Should've checked after noting the time last week that the kick off is not 'til 11:00. Why do we have to have so much pontificating nonsense? I thought it would all be over before I need to leave and go and play cricket. Oh well.

Come on #England channel #Thorpey on #ThorpeyDay and bat big. Get a massive lead and give our depleted attack the chance for the second 10 wickets.

We just have to hope that Gus doesn't pick up an injury again before and during the Ashes. A valuable part of England's attack.

Still is. But Surrey are in the box seat.

Come on #SurreyCCC don't let this game slip away....plenty of time Sam and Dan.

#Cricket #CountyChampionship

Top comeback from #TheLions to seal the series with one to play.

So, with England effectively 100 ahead with 16 wickets in hand, only really two results from here, and of those the draw is very unlikely. I think we declare at 716 and ask India to score more than they did in their 1st innings to make England bat again.

#EngvInd #TestCricket #RootIsNo2

What a catch from Root!

#TestCricket #EngvInd

So India want the draw then.......? England's potential ability to get the runs quickly really does an effect.

Bazball's effects working clearly. Let India eat into precious wicket taking time, scared of just what England is capable of chasing......

What a great day of #cricket for an England and Surrey fan: England win in the #Test at #Headingley #EngvInd and Surrey wrap up their win at Worcester to remain unbeaten in the County Championship this season.

Have I managed #TestCricket fan working from home setup nirvana? Fans on the desk as it is a little warm, tablet in front of my keyboard with Sky Sports for the #ENGvIND #Test and have synced #TMS to the video feed.

Looking at the weather tonight (thunderstorms) and then at the potential for some clouds tomorrow, I think South Africa may need to work to get these runs today, or at least very close without having lost too many by close this evening, if they are going to defy the odds and win.

#SAvAUS #WTCFinal

Come on South Africa! If the Australians can make 59 for the final wicket, then 282 has to be within reach. Partnerships are the key. Oh, and the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 11th ranked Test bowlers not knocking them over well short.

Great game for a neutral.

#SAvAUS #WTCFinal

If the pitch has "flattened" out, can Markram and Bavuma provide the stability to take this home for South Africa if they are chasing less than 300 to win?

One thing is certain, time is not a factor unless these two can bat through to the end of the day.....

#SAvAUS #WTCFinal

Well, well, well. South Africa really fighting back here....

#SAvAUS #WTC25Final

Australia's total is looking a little light at the moment.
