Woo! That was a pleasant surprise.
I was on the plane back with the Pakistan squad yesterday. They all look so young, bless them, apart from Sameen Gul who is going to be a beast.

7 now. Still think England will win but great to see Afghanistan doing well.

hmm touch and go I would say, Afghanistan are no mugs with the bat, and half the total could be knocked off in 6 overs

this WI T20 team feels like the culmination of Caribbean cricket over the last 20 years and legitimately one of the most fearsome limited-overs teams ever to have been

Following this on my phone. Wonderful win and should be a great final.
Doing this without Pollard or Narine is remarkable.

WI women do it! Had been getting dull watching Australia win every tournament due to the other teams choking. No longer, thank god

Saw the last few overs in the Enterprise in Chalk Farm, but now they've put on the absolutely vital middle of the table clash between Man Utd and Everton, to placate the legion of gormless twats traipsing in staring uncomprehendingly at a TV screen not showing Premier League football. Heading off in the direction of Primrose Hill to find a better class of boozer.

So glad I schlepped all over London only to end up following the match via text reports on the BBC website, thank you, God.

sorry Tom, can't believe that up here in the outer darkness we've got pubs that can manage to broadcast more than one sporting event at the same time but Londoners can't countenance it

Kraigg Brathwaite becoming the first opening test batsman to not lose his wicket in either innings is an extraordinary statistic.

a tenner on Hameed getting 10k runs for England in Tests seems a reasonable punt
