Mark Allen was robbed & Glamorgan finished the day on 353/1

"Exactly where is the North East?" is going to replace "How much is a pint of milk?" in the canon of Essential Knowledge For Candidates, isn't it?

The Crucible crowd are getting rebellious...

Bloody hell. #TheSnooker

The Snooker is being ridiculous. & Glamorgan are 336/1.

Glamorgan are 262/1 at tea. Hampshire need to come up with some sort of a plan.

Badenoch's Kemikaze campaigning strikes again.

The Hampshire- v- Glamorgan live-stream has disappeared. Mind you, with Glamorgan romping away on 203/1 I can see why the team at Utilita Bowl might want to axe the broadcast.

Glamorgan are frustrating the Hampshire bowlers, looking very comfortable at 157/1

Surrey took that a lot closer than I thought they might when they were 81/6.

Oh - a mix up in the middle as they go for a second run that was never there & Moore is run-out. 220/8

And then gets her 100 in the next.

DWH takes 20 from the over. Blimey

Tyson gets her third wicket clean bowling Alice Davidson-Richards

Not going so well for Surrey having lost 3 wkts in the last 4 balls. Danni Wyatt-Hodge to the crease with Surrey at 73/5

This is the way to Wednesday

Here she is...

I think I'm going to move seats for the Surrey innings - I want a better view of Lauren Bell's bowling.

So I've come to a domestic women's one day cricket match...

Decided to get out for the day. Fresh air, green space & some calming solitude.
