    Update: Warner got in lift as we were getting out. Several of them at breakfast - recognised Cummins but not sure about others. Wish I had some sandpaper to wave about!

    They were getting on coach as we left to get tram - wouldn't give us a lift though!
      Buffet?

    Any opportunities to pop Laxatives in the sausages

    Continental buffet though didn't see any of them at it. Cooked stuff was table service.

    Torn here because want to see some cricket but rain better for England's chances.

  • The outfield is very wet so no play for a while

    Partly because they managed to spill all the water off the big covers. Sabotage?

  • I'd need a lot more red wine. Out now. As we left hotel, walked past one that I thought was Khawaja and Mr W thought was Lyon. I need to check photos! The press conference was going on and room next door set up for their dinner. An hour or so ago now.

    I’m watching at home today but rest assured I’m wearing 6 layers of clothing in solidarity with everyone at Old Trafford.

    these two are wearing down the quicks, to an extent .. Lyons looks the most dangerous .. remember they are a bowler short, they don't have a Stokes
