Kid in the Riot

Pearson watching from the stand, if it hasn't been noted by commentary.

Delightful. Again, good to see Abi Harrison and some of the other ladies players up here. Just had a quick word with The Cheese too.

He's drifted a bit to the right hand side and looked more effective in the last 10 mins. Definitely got something about him. Good technique on the ball.

Naismith basically playing sweeper and is incredibly vocal. Fan favourite in the making. Wilson massive upgrade at RWB. Sykes struggling to get into the game so far. We've created a few good chances through Wilson, Naismith and James.

Here we go... spotted Walshy, Joe Burnell, Geoff Merrick and Jim Rollo in the crowd so far.

I've managed to wangle entry for this game, so looking forward to it. I'll try and send updates later with anything interesting that happens "off-camera"!

Scary thing is, even if India had stuck 450 on the board, we could well have chased that down anyway!

Fallen back in love with the England Test side within three months.

You should put an insurance bet on India then, as they're 4/1. England heavy favourites to get the job done now. Baz has really got the confidence of this team up in double quick time. Very impressive.

Let's not forget that Ashton and Holden decided to give him a new three year deal + one year option in OCTOBER 2020. He had less than 30 league starts at City in four years at that point. Like O'Dowda, a bit baffling as to how he stayed at the club for so long.

Would be tempted by those odds right now!

Very good that. Djokovic has retaken control now though.

Garbage

Absolutely loved it tbh. I didn't see what Kyrgios did in the first set mind, and if he did swear at line judges then he should've been defaulted. Tsitsapis was inches away from being defaulted too when he hit that ball into the crowd. Good game of tennis too, Tsitsapis backhand is really poor for a top 5 player. Kyrgios played great and with an open draw, who knows, he could reach the final. It reminded me of all the dirty tricks and animosity there used to be in junior tennis ?

Pink Floyd haven't played live since 2005, and that was for 3 songs. Complete non-starter.

Oh man ???

Bit strange to do an acoustic set. Her album Color Theory is worth a listen. Agree War on Drugs are excellent. Saw them at the Academy a few years back.

What was Soccer Mommy like? Her last album was excellent

A fine selection of bands there. I've been catching up on lots of highlights last few days, and nothing has surpassed Kendrick. Glastonbury nailed getting an artist that big, in their prime. I suppose that's part of the problem I have with lots of the headliners at Glasto, they're usually past their best. The ones you remember are bands in their prime like Radiohead 1997, Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, even Florence and the Machine etc.

Easy to get up the rankings...if you win a Slam on debut! A fairly big caveat. She definitely has all the tools to play at the highest level, but it goes without saying, no-one can be sure that she will. First thing she needs is a strength and conditioning coach to try and cut out these injuries. I think it'll be a couple of years before we start to see the best of her.

She's been battling injuries all season. Only played 7 games on grass in her first ever season on Tour coming into Wimbledon. She did very well to win her opening match. Ironically, that one win was good enough to move her into the world top 10. If Grand Slam champion and world top 10 aged 19 isn't "something special", then I don't know what is...

Can we get Livingston in the Test team somehow?!

I think it really shows how much he helped revolutionise white ball cricket in this country when you consider he took over the captaincy from Ali Cook! The game has moved on so much that a player like Cook wouldn't get near the England team these days.

Caught the end of PSB, meh. A long way past their best days I suppose. Being Boring remains a poignant classic though. Year of the Kendrick imo. Like watching Dre in 2001 or Eminem late 90s, an artist at the peak of their powers. Inevitably, those that don't rate him, aren't hip hop/rap fans anyway. Caught a bit of Bicep and pleasantly surprised, that will be one hedonistic corner of the festival tonight ?

Love PSB But Kendrick is simply class & the future. He's got the young uns eating from the palm of his hands here, class set so far
