Watch quite a few 20/20 on You Tube. Quite enjoyable but how bias are the local commentators.

Overall much better than it used to be but the live stream for the game I was watching packed in 5 minutes ago!

shut down by the ECBs copyright claim on all accounts

Official feeds for all the 18:30 games available so more likely a technical issue surely?

Disappointed for Brook. He is a potentially world class player, in the form of a world class player. Cant help but feel there is a bit of Surrey bias at play - Pope getting a chance at three having been a bust at 5/6 and Foakes kept on despite a poor Caribbean tour.

Not a bad start - heck of a grab and Jimmy moving the ball all over the place

Matty Potts. First ever match at Lords. First over, takes the wicket of one of the greatest batsmen. Stuff of dreams.

Damn cricket superstitions lol. Going to have to do a lot more painting if 2 ceilings get 4 wickets

I hear rumours the Sistine Chapel ceiling needs tarting up a little. That could secure us the next Ashes series if you’re up to the task?

Leach been concussed and withdrawn

Needs some more bad luck

Some debut this from Potts, plenty to like

Parkinson finally got a call up, odds against he bowls a ball mind

You beat me to it Amanda. My favourite Australian sportsman by an absolute country mile, his loss really being felt on the first day of a Test summer.

Yep. The very fact he's an Australian cricketer and yet we love him speaks volumes (still struggle to speak about him in the past tense)
