Afghanistan doing very well in the solitary Test in Bangladesh, who are 219 behind with six wickets down on a dodgy pitch.

Bumrah 6-16 at the close; with three bunnies left in, he could still claim a 9-fer.

More destructive than Dorian at the moment

Have we covered the fact that 22 stone plus 6'5" Rahkeem Cornwall has become the heaviest ever test cricketer with his debut for the West Indies against India today.

SL v NZ is heading, due to weather, to the first drawn match in SL in 26 Tests.

I think 45 balls for a duck for Cummins puts him in the Top 10 all-time. Geoff Allott 77 balls is the record.

Fairly extraordinary partnership between Holder and Cummins. 36* so far from 14.3 overs. Nothing remarkable in that, but Cummins is still 0*.

India now firmly in control of this one. India 297, WI 189-8.
Meanwhile SL have moved slightly ahead in the 2nd Test v NZ by snapping up Taylor. SL 244, NZ 89-3.
I wonder if three Tests going on concurrently in August is a record? Playing international cricket in WI and/or Asia in the former off-season is now a given.

I suspect that Pavel Florin is one of the only one or two actual Romanians in the team which may be why he seems to be the social media face of the club (Cluj is the centre of Romania's hi tech industry and as such hosts a fair number of young men from the Indian subcontinent)

Looks an intriguing one that. NZ now 98-4 in second innings but if they can get a lead of more than 150 you'd fancy them to win. Sri Lanka are such a curious Test team at the moment, though mostly quite a weak one.

Gower's been alright whenever I've heard him. Doesn't say stuff just for the sake of saying stuff, and doesn't get over excited.

Gower and Botham are apparently both being retired by Sky. It doesn't affect me personally but I wonder if Sky thinks it's time to go back to trained broadcasters and also to cut ties with commentators whom they signed up in the 90s, especially Gower from what had become a declining Beeb operation.
Alternatively do they want less "in my day" ism?

Cluj appear to have lost every game they've played but I don't think that will be much of a surprise. It will have been fun anyway

Freesports are showing the European Cricket League, a T10 competition that bills itself as "The Champions League of European Cricket'.
Catalunya Cricket Club beat St Petersburg Lions earlier.
Edit, ah, didn't see the page split.
