The start is delayed, which at least makes a change from the mid-afternoon downpour. We will have to wait a little longer to hear which member of the Curran family is replacing the injured Liam Dawson. Would you pick Tom, with his death-overs brio and a one-day five-for in his back pocket, or Sam, still glowing from his Test-turning feats against India? The Young Cricketer of the Year from 2015, or 2018?
Ian Ward of Sky, discussing press coverage of the Jayasuriya case, has just mentioned Sri Lanka’s “English-literature papers”. There’s a thread in that.
