Lunch then cricket?
Lunch will be taken at 1pm, with a pitch inspection during it. The weather has turned right round and the sun is out now so they could start pretty soon after lunch.
Teams still not announced but, assuming Woakes is travelling for the experience, and they want to play two spinners here, it will be: Maddy, Westwood, Bell, Trott, Powell, Ambrose, Botha, Carter, Salisbury, Zondeki, Anyon/Daggett.
A man in the press box has just said: "There's nothing worse than the sound of motor-bikes next to a cricket ground."
I could think of a few things.



Yes, what about the sound of klaxons in a cricket ground?
What about the sound of whingeing journos inside a cricket ground.
"There's no wifi!"
"Where's my lunch ticket!"
"My seat back's the wrong colour"
"The car park attendant failed to recognize me and give me the respect I deserve"
etc etc......
My seat back here at Wantage Road is an acceptable green.
