“Did I just look up? Cos Joe Root is on thirty!”

Oh yeah, BSky exists.

What if England win from there though? Don’t think I could bear THIS being vindicated.

We all excited for the press conference tonight? England putting up a physio to tell us they’re not interested in the draw?

England reinventing test cricket (losing a Test to a Gambhir-led India who don’t even have Bumrah)

I like each of these England bowlers but I’m not sure they add up to an attack, somehow.

Even with England so far behind the game, it must be hard for India to know what their declaration target is here

More like Karun Snared. No, I’m just not on my game over here.

I’ll be purely on BSky for Day Four. Thoughts on play so far: no thoughts.

Really think the “get the tail in” tactic is worth a go

Good tactic for the afternoon might be to get the tail in and bring on Josh Tongue. Just a thought.

Umpires have become soft. If you leave the ball and it hits you, that’s a bad leave. Automatically out and you can take your chances with DRS.

Ben Stokes has won the toss

Keep forgetting about Bluesky

Can’t believe the Big Bash is STILL going on.

Remember in the last season of Game of Thrones we thought it was dead unrealistic that the nepo-baby just became a tyrannical despot for stupid reasons, whilst saying deeply thick things that sounded like they were written by a four year old? And then Elon Musk happened in real life?

Dropping Rohit is a wild move. No idea if it’s a right one, but definitely quite a shock. Can’t remember another move like it in recent history?

How’s it going over here on Bsky? Still haven’t managed to get into it.

If the cricketing schedule is that bad, why isn’t there an England Test Match for me to watch right now? Makes you think.

Usually when you wake up and check a scorecard you can get a decent idea of how the innings panned out and what the plan was. This one… I’m baffled.

24 overs in 2hr 10 for Australia so far. No let up for the India batters. It’s a tactic.

Mitchell Starc is so good with the pink ball, you can see why they used to try and sand the colour off the red one for him.

Come to Lord’s for a day’s Test Cricket! Only £180! “Oh wow, £2 per over?” In theory! Probably more like £2.20! “Do you have any good players?” Well they haven’t played much before. But they’re tall! “And are we in with a shot at a title?” Don’t know, don’t understand it! Are you engaged yet?!

Now then

There’s a really easy way to sort over rates, too, by the way. You can’t change the field til you catch up to the rate. That includes left-hand, right-hand (slips can switch sides to avoid the no ball).

The fact it finished early is irrelevant. In fact, slow over rates can contribute to that. It means captains don’t have to find as many overs and their bowlers stay fresher.

Top knock from Pope so far, good on him

Ben Stokes has won the toss

Well, it’s been an interesting experiment Australia, but maybe next time pick an actual opener rather than dipping into the cast of Euphoria?

Actual chills watching Kohli bring up his hundred. He might be my absolute favourite.

All in all it’s just another ton from Jaiswal

Can’t believe our keeper has gone down injured in New Zealand and we don’t have a proper back up. First time that’s happened since the last tour of New Zealand when our keeper went down injured and we didn’t have a proper back up.

Fancy-dan stuff from Jaiswal putting pressure back on the bowlers by making them bowl a third spell. What if there was a ball with his name on? Manufacture some sixes, man.

Over here it’s called being skee

Mostly quite twee from me on BSky so far. Just a relentlessly impressionable man.

It’s still the audition stages of BGT, that’s why none of the batters stuck around for very long. They’ll get a chance to showcase their abilities more at Bootcamp.

Pat’s come in #AUSvIND

Hi new followers. Fair warning, It’s much more cricket jokes and rattle (17k tweets) than it is Karen Carpenter jokes (that one tweet).

I mean, FFS. It was nearly missing another set. And when I say “set”, I mean “set of cells that make up 6ft 2in James Anderson”.

Neil Wagner choking and bowling a wide only to be let off the hook. Except it’s not petty and the anger is righteous.

Karen Carpenter: why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near? Me: I guess just like you, they long to be close to me lol Karen: no it’s really annoying, are you sprinkling breadcrumbs or something?

No doubt Rob Key is looking at Pakistan guaranteeing two games to a guy with 17 months on his contract and thinking that sounds like great value for money.

Weirder still, he’s level with MS Dhoni

England dressing room will be reeling, turn down Golf? What kind of man is this 'Starmer', Zak Crawley going to doubling his contributions to the conservative party

Why is the Onion bullying the lady from the One Show? Just because she’s Welsh? Rude.

Vinoo Tweet was a fine cricketer in his own right and his achievements shouldn’t be reduced to this.

That’s a lot of new followers all of a sudden. Am I on a list or did Daisy Cutter do this.

Just to confirm, I have been live tweeting these last couple of t20s, it’s just that I can’t think of a single thing to say about them.

Shame the old fella had to step aside but his public statements had been getting very erratic.

Absolutely nailed on. Harris has run the best campaign and is the most qualified candidate. Can’t see it going any other way.
