My below picture is a bit deceptive. It’s turning into a smashing day in London. It’s still a little bit grey overhead but the sun is doing what you would expect it to on 23 June. I saw reports of a green track 24 hours ago but it isn’t that. Some grass remains but I can’t imagine that will be enough to convince a captain to bowl first. Not on the evidence of this tournament, either. They’ll be out for the toss shortly.
Couple of compelling games yesterday, weren’t they? Here’s how I saw India’s win. I had a scorched-earth intro ready to go if Afghanistan fell over the line. Next time.
