143-3 with six overs to spare. Easy peasy for this first game at Durham. Three more T20s to come Friday, Sunday Tuesday- hopefully a bit closer.

LeadBelly

They have Maupay on the bench though to come on and change things round.

LeadBelly

After that good first few overs, NZ held to 139-9 after 20.
You'd fancy England to knock those off but a few early wickets could make thinks difficult.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Clarets (Redmond 33 minutes)

PREM

Bournemouth come out all guns blazing, Richarlison became a liability there, kept breaking down his own side's promising attacks, lucky he lasted 10 minutes without being hooked. Spuds gone more defensive now with the subs, Perisic for Sarr seems reasonable but Højbjerg on for Richarlison. Notwithst...

LeadBelly

Bournemouth are working hard and get forward in good numbers when they get the ball. Dont look hugely confident under a high press and lack Spurs' quality in midfield. Still 45 mins to improve things though.

LeadBelly

Spurs well on top that half but only 1-0 up and almost conceded an equaliser in added time. Richarlison generally playing OK but should be more deadly in front of goal. he had about 3 half-chances in that half. Maddison and Bissouma both looking very good in midfield in their different ways. See if ...

Chelsea very hot favourites but they do tend to flatter to deceive these last couple of years and have plenty of injuries and no sort of settled squad. Maatsen likely to start I guess, I dont think Luton will have a lot of the ball but wont roll over. I'll go 0-0 HT, 2-0 full time.

Completely impossible to pick one. We've got too many new players that it's impossible for a fan to credibly judge I think.

Just missed the first race but backing Cogitate in the 2.25. I went to Newbury last month and had a bet on him and he came in at very good odds so feel I've got to stick with him. Charlie Hills had the first race winner I see - so even more reason to stick. I went to this meeting 4 years ago along w...

Good evening all, As you can see I have changed the name of the feed to the Berkshire Clarets for the Clarets based in Berkshire and surrounding areas.

Current stadium is in a great location but a bit hemmed in on 3 sides + big % of spectators are out in the open on that large east side terrace so I can see why they want to upgrade. That looks like a great solution. I think it increases capacity 20-25% and Id guess much improved hospitality facilit...

Help, the Stewards Cup, I love this race but as usual I haven't a clue what might win it. My lucky pin is currently hovering over Spanish Star and Aleezdancer but it's just guesswork for me.

It doesn't prove he'll play but I note, with my bookie, he's the shortest odds player on the "players to score" list in this game tonight (@5/1).

Tom Marquand just made a lot of jockeys look very dumb My only previous winner on the day was Kinross at c. evens so I decided to do Quickthorn each way (at 20/1).

13 more seems quite a way away right now. As previously mentioned, only 10 needed after the series just ended. I'd guess he wont go to India, and if he does wont bowl a huge amount maybe.

An amazing series and enjoyed every minute watching on Sky. Lots of ups and downs and in the end a fair result at 2-2. Agreed, very good series to watch with England going 2-0 down then generally having the better of things though there were a lot of games where each team won a few sessions and a l...

Why isn’t Mark Wood bowling yet? Is he injured? I was down there today; I don't listen to any commentaries but I was thinking Wood must be injured myself. When he finally came on he did crack Khawaja on the helmet and caused a few discomforts, I've still no idea why he didn't bowl earlier. Although...

Thank you lads.
With their slow scoring, the new ball will probably be taken before Oz have got much past 200. Fair chance of a first innings lead here.

Top 4 this year is a tough call for Toon. City and Arsenal remain v strong; Man United on the up now, Chelsea wont have another duff season and Liverpool will almost certainly improve on last year's performances. Added to this they have European games to take on board. It'll be an excellent effort (...

Centrica is in competition (here in UK) with very large energy companies from Germany, France and Spain (and of course Dale Vince).

Nah- he'll have shrunk a bit now he's 55- probably about half an inch.
I'm average size and have lost about an inch of height over the past 40 years from being in my prime. I think that's pretty much the norm.

I think Germany was a bit reluctant/slow to support Ukraine in this conflict initially but really coming up with some useful stuff latterly. I think they supplied one very successfully operated Patriot system already but 2 more launchers in a very good-looking new package https://twitter.com/bayrakt...
