Yet another splendid England opening partnership.

Just back to the Hundred for a second, I'm enjoying it a lot but does anyone know if there's a "mute Kevin Pietersen" button on the Sky app?
You can see how a whole dressing room fell out with the boorish peanut. I took to Twitter to see if it was just me, but no, seems there's not a lot of love for KP on comms.

I think all the commentators talk sh*t during the 100 games, it's like they're trying to talk everyone into thinking it's a great tournament. They haven't reinvented cricket, although they think they have.🙄

I think I just heard that England have had 31 ducks this year. They're going to need a bigger pond.

My mate lives in Poole and has tickets for the weekend. He’s desperate for a Friday finish as doesn’t want to travel up to watch this rubbish.

Are the weekend tickets half-refundable if there's no play on Sunday or does it have to be the whole weekend?

Not sure.

I'd be tempted to stay in Poole and get lashed down the Lord Nelson

Tickets for tests are refunded on an overs completed basis, less than 10 overs is a 100% refund (and often a concession for the next day if it was for weather), less than 20 overs is a 50% refund and any more than that, then you've had your fun.
It doesn't apply to day 5, hence why day 5 tickets are best bought on the day.

We have tickets for Day 1 at Lords. Happy to take whatever "rubbish" is put before us :P 👍

England are going to get walloped here.

This aged well... Shame we've gone off for light.

Talk about timing eh? We were on a right old roll, long way to go but if I was an Indian batsman I would be fearing our fasties, could be a good one

Anderson can't believe it's an over! It is now.

Try to find his 'saving the DDDDRRRYYYNOCEROS' speech. Even rhinos were running for cover

Ouch! Those two wickets stung, though hardly a surprise. I wish 'Bumble' would pay attention.
"That's Sibley gone!" As Crawley is dismissed.
