My regular reader will know one of the themes has been the dreadful travel by train for racegoers this week. Our own racing correspondent has suggested it might be a good idea for South Western trains to ink in the dates for next year’s Royal Ascot now:

Hello @SW_Help Since you’re blaming Ascot for the dangerous overcrowding today, would it help if I tweeted you to remind you, say, 9 months in advance what the dates are next year? Then it might not come as quite such a surprise.

Those of you who take an interest in trainer form will surely be having a close look at Sir Michael Stoute’s runners for the rest of the week. Having won with all three of his runners yesterday, including two here at Ascot, the Newmarket knight is on a 24% strike-rate for June after pottering through the previous two months on 14%. He runs Zaaki (3.05), Sun Maiden (3.40) and Moqarrar (5.00) at Ascot today. Other trainers who would like to be in similar form are Charlie Hills (1/39 in the past fortnight), Clive Cox (3/42) and Ralph Beckett (2/31).

England already have the series in the bag. Last time out they smashed the world record ODI score and subjected Tim Paine, the Australia captain, to the “hardest day of cricket I’ve ever had in my life”. Still, he spotted a silver lining around the great big, extremely dark cloud. “As bad as it seems and it feels right now, this can be a really big positive for us going forward,” he said, “that we have gone through a day like this and the guys realise the sun comes up tomorrow and we get another crack at England in two days’ time.” When the big positive after a massive thrashing is the fact you get to play the team that just thrashed you again in a few hours, there really aren’t many positives to be had.

The highest ODI total in 15 matches held at Durham is a meagre 307-5, scored by England against New Zealand 10 years and a week ago. So there’s one record there for the taking. The first time England played Australia there, in 2005, they scored 209-9 from their full allocation of 50 overs. On Tuesday they overtook that tally four balls past the halfway stage on their way to a total so enormous that even if Australia bat first today they will still, two days later and in an entirely different match, be feeling the scoreboard pressure.

Danny Cipriani will make his first England start for 10 years in Saturday’s third Test against South Africa. The fly-half has been picked ahead of George Ford with the visitors already 2-0 down in the series in a side containing a total of four changes to the team beaten 23-12 in Bloemfontein last weekend.
