			Sadly I didn't, I'm in the Lake District for a few days. No Sky in the hotel and veeeeery slow wifi, also there is no mobile signal of any kind, love it.    
Listened to 5live extra.    |

			Rashid has bowled very well, has put himself in contention for Moeen's spot in the ashes team.

Listened to 5live extra.   |  Cricket on the radio is great - I often have the radio commentary with the TV pictures.

			I used to do that years ago when Johnners et al did TMS and the pictures where on the BBC. Stopped when SKY took over, watching on VM digital has such a noticeable delay I found it irritating.

			The D/L system needs a serious rethink when one team averages 5.66 over 50 overs and the other team then has to score at 7.38 for just 26 overs.    |

			Well, well, at 45 for 5 I didn't see that coming, even as a staunch Lancastrian I am so pleased for Jonny Bairstow, a real pity his dad isn't around to see him play.
 Just wish we could play New Zealand all the time, cracking matches played in a fantastic, hard but fair manner with zero sledging.
