    England become the 43rd country beaten by Mohammad Nabi as an international cricketer. From wins over Bhutan, Maldives, China and Argentina to days like this, he really has seen it all.

    Very good from Middlesex, this. 2,000 primary school students in at Lord's, watching Shaheen Shah Afridi run in to bowl.

    If you take Littler's age out of it, you're still left with an unseeded debutant making a complete mockery of the draw. It's absolutely mental what he's doing on every single level.

    Apologies if I'm very late on this, but Hasan Ali wearing his celebration on a chain is exactly what I'm here for.

    A five-run penalty for hitting the helmet being overturned because of a no-shot-offered dead ball is exactly the kind of niche nonsense that I watch this sport for.

    Kent 2nd XI vs Sussex 2nd XI has produced one of the great scorecards:
