An epic drops, hello Zain Malik!

“If the London weather deigns to cooperate (miracles do happen), we might witness T20-I #17 at cricket’s self-proclaimed “real home.” Ahem. Ahem. Yes, the so-called People’s Cricket Ground is set to host the Men in Green. It’s been over a decade since this historic venue condescended to accommodate the shortest format—perhaps The Oval prefers to avoid the gaudy spectacle of T20 cricket to keep its highbrow reputation intact.

Hosing it down here in Manchester – though play is due to start at 12.15. All depends whether OT can dodge the showers. Roses, honeysuckle, cricket pitch, all sad and soggy.

Hello Nick Richards. “Sorry to bother you but do you know why Hants got 23 points?

Alex “carthorse” Davies goes to his fifty in three hours one minute – the third slowest first-class fifty of his career. The Warwickshire hundred winds slowly up.

And a wicket at Old Trafford! George Balderson joins the Tom Bailey wickets club, as Mousley is caught for two.

Worcestershire return to play at New Road today for the first time since the terrible news of Josh Baker’s death. Here, Kevin Howells talks to Ashley Giles about Josh, climate challenges and the future of the club (which has a new ground sponsor – New Road becoming Visit Worcestershire New Road).

And hello Tim Maitland!

”Once again I find myself mulling in the hour before plays starts - here in the subtropics it’s the lull after cooking food for the dogs and before preparing salads for humans - this time it’s the issue of how to fill the Jimmy-Anderson-and Stuart Broad-sized hole in England’s bowling line-up.

”No doubt the Bazball approach will be to find a brash tyro, fill him to the brim with confidence and then back him to the hilt. Lord knows that will probably work a million times better than the carousel of rejection that each new pretender to Alistair Cook’s crown stepped onto... but I can’t help wondering whether temporarily filling the immediate need with a seasoned pro like Surrey’s Dan Worrall who presumably won’t be crushed by the expectations might buy time to develop the next front line quick.

"Unless of course my instinct that the answer doesn’t lie in a combination of Woods, Woakes, a miraculously durable Joffra Archer and an even more remarkably dependable and responsible Ollie Robinson is wrong.”

Sophie Ecclestone took three wickets and Alice Capsey hit 44 as England began their three-match series with a win in Derby

3rd over: England 11-0 (Beaumont 8, Bouchier 2) A first boundary, a typically Beaumontesque slam through the covers – to make her the leading scorer in women’s ODIs in England, going above Sarah Taylor.

2nd over: England 6-0 (Beaumont 4, Bouchier 1) Diana Baig with the second over – such a lovely, easy run-up. It turns out she has also played football for Pakistan. Beaumont drives nicely, but the ball is cut off by the fielder’s knee.

Here at Blackpool, Aspinwall’s zippy little spell is over. Cooler today, definitely a long-sleeved shirt morning. Saqib Mahmood reappears on the pitch, the Lancashire physio, arms folded, watchful, stands behind him, looking as if hes holding a tea-towel.

And that’s fifty for Bedingham off 72 balls, definitely Durham’s first 45 minutes.

Danni Wyatt’s sparkling 87 leads the charge as England beat Pakistan by 34 runs to whitewash the series.

5th over: England 36-0 (Bouchier 8, Wyatt 27) Fatima Sana now as Nida Dar rings the changes. At extra cover BAig cuts off a booming Bouchier drive. Four dots, a single, then the pressure punctured as Wyatt pierces the ring and picks up four.

4th over: England 31-0 (Bouchier 7, Wyatt 23) Time for some spin, from Sadia Iqbal. She manages to stop the boundaries, but there are still six off the over.

“Is,” writes Iain Noble, “this a record? Nine ‘caughts’ in the Lancs 1^st dig and only Will Williams preventing a complete set for Durham.”

One for the hive mind.
