Pope on 0 out of 8, reviews-wise. None of them especially close, either.

Joe Root's ace, etc, but how many does he drop at slip?

Gus Atkinson is on the Lord's honours board! Eh, what's that you say...?

How Gus Atkinson beat a 72-year-old record held by Fred Trueman, and bowled England to a series win over Sri Lanka at Lord's dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

My ratings for the Lord's Test. Even gave two players the full 10 (yes, I know Root dropped some catches...) dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

BREAKING: Brendon McCullum has agreed to become England's new white-ball coach from the start of next year. He'll stay on as Test coach, and his contract has been extended to the end of 2027.

If anyone can make England's all-format coaching job work, it's Brendon McCullum dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

Josh Hull will make his Test debut on Friday against Sri Lanka at The Oval. Matthew Potts is left out.

Feel sorry for Northants, who were missing too many of their best players. Somerset always likely to win that one. And that, essentially, is the end of Northamptonshire's season. A terrible one, frankly.

Sri Lanka have won the toss here at The Oval, and will bowl - a better decision than bowling at Lord's, you suspect...

Dan Lawrence has one innings to left to prove he should be the spare Test batsman this winter. Fair to say this experiment isn't working.

Has it got darker at The Oval? The umpires think so: off they troop, in front of a near full house.

Northamptonshire have sacked head coach John Sadler.

If you're at The Oval today and (very) bored, Nick Hoult and I will be signing copies of our Bazball book in the club shop from 3pm. Roll up etc and so on!

Join Lawrence Booth and Nick Hoult in the Club Shop from 3 pm! They will be signing copies of their book 'Bazball: The Inside Story of a Test Cricket Revolution' ✍️ 🤎 | #KiaOval

Well played, Ollie Pope. But cricket and bad light - sheesh. dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…
