Reckon Surrey might chase that target down tomorrow. Should be an entertaining day.

If you're as sure about that as you are about what shirt number Muzzy wore, I'll take your confidence in that estimate with a pinch of salt...

Is there a more boring county with a more boring ground?

The one outside ours ended up covering the lamp last night, making the area darker. Way to protect my wife and daughter lads!

Always ends up placed in this.

Absolute shocker of a decision against Livingstone at Finals Day.

Got a big round of applause and a chant when he turned up yesterday.

Wasn't sure which thread this should go in...

Love this...

Back heavy now.

You'd have worked with a few people I know at Sainsbury's, I reckon. Sadly upstairs Enigma's an Air B&B now. People actually staying in a place of so many shameful incidents for si many of us Harboruans of a certain age...

Weekends are when all the people who moved there from down south because The Sunday Times/Telegraph told them to come out to play. It's changed the identity of the town centre and I'm glad it's still vibrant, but I'm not convinced it's doing much for natives who have been priced out of living there.

Patel is a good player having a bad season. Budinger is improving year on year. Who is a better realistic option for that gig? Not convinced that's why we've signed Davey.

Budinger and Patel opening the bowling. Great stuff.

It's the fans, lads. The fans.

Pulled back a bit. Livingstone had a day out against Kent earlier.

Think I'm right in saying this cabinet has the most state educated members of any in history. It's a shame because her story ought to resonate with so many people currently falling for the fascist con, but ultimately she had no choice but to go.

Magic stuff. Put that on terrestrial!

Hope Northants cam upset the odds against Surrey here.

Why? Say what you like about all the Guardian stereotypes but it's never been a mouthpiece for a government of any colour.

The childcare hours policy has changed under Labour. The new one was rolled out this week.

Sorry to read about the troubles you're having. Just to be clear, I'm far from impressed with much of the way things have gone since they came in and some of the scandals have pissed me off no end. As much as people might feel Labour are held to a higher standard in office than the Tories, it's no excuse when they don't stay above that standard. I can only speak from personal experience though. You look at the alternatives and nothing they would do differently would make anything better for the people I care about.

Extra childcare hours, bereavement leave for pregnancy loss, dealings with the NHS have been much quicker and more efficient (in my experience) to think of a few off the top of my head. Plus, feeling a better sense of security for the future with the planned new stuff on school uniform pricing, breakfast clubs, increased workers' rights for those on zero-hours contracts etc.

I've noticed the tangible benefits for me and my family from Labour's policies since they got in. They've not been perfect because no government is, but they have been better (so far) than anything in the 15 years before them.

He hasn't bowled a siell of more than four overs in white-ball cricket for three years. He's being thrown to the wolves being chucked into this.
