Scotland in action against Namibia in Namibia, win the toss and elected to field. 33 overs gone and Namibia are 122/5. Brandon McMullen the pick of the bowlers with 3/11 from 7 overs. England off to a rapid start in Pakistan. 364-3 from 59 overs. Both openers got hundreds, Pope currently 71 not out and Brook on 31. Foakes missed out from the originally announced team with illness, so Pope will take the gloves.

I went 3-0 on thanksgiving and then 3-10 in all of the other games. What a shit show.

When you bought it last year it was when the new business price was being subsidised by renewals. Now the renewal price can’t exceed the equivalent new business price, so prices go up for those in the early years of their policy, because companies can no longer rip the piss out of the long tenured customers (a good thing). Realistically, you paid less than the fair price for your risk last year, rather than this year being a piss take. Darwin is just Direct Line with a different name.

England have added 18 year old leg spinning all rounder Rehan Ahmed to the test match squad to tour Pakistan. He was born 20 months after James Anderson made his England debut. If he makes his debut on this tour he will become the youngest to ever play test match cricket for England.

My alignment was out by a decent bit, causing the high wear on the inside of the tyres. Straightened out and new (mid range, always go mid range) tyres fitted, hopefully get a lot more from this set.

I got a watchmaking experience at Kartel in St Andrews for my 30th. I’m going to do it next weekend, so can’t yet comment on how good it is, but might be worth considering. My reasoning was exactly the same, I wear an apple watch day to day but want something nice for occasions.

How long should you be getting out of a set of tyres? I’m getting barely 10k miles out of a set on the front of my car at the moment, which seems ridiculous to me.

Away win

Sam Curran and Ben Stokes. Top lads

Ben Stokes in big moments is the best player on the planet. The definition of clutch.

Jesus f**k.

Since the new pricing practice regulations came in in January?

They won’t
