Wtf did Bairstow review that?

Root's off to a cautious start, I see.

Looks like Bairstow being an idiot has cost England, lost the review and Roy gone because of it

Massive collapse!!

I am beside myself, been tied up all day on site walk downs on power plant with no access to phones etc. Left early just got in large G&T in hand and smiling! Guess that's Sunday nearly all sorted!

Knew it.

OK... looks like England might just scrape their way through.

First-rate stuff. Hopefully Bairstow isn't crocked.

Bring on the Kiwis!!!

Jinx worked again. You’re welcome again.

Bought a nice new bottle of gin on the way home. I am going to celebrate with a G&T this evening.

It is rather pleasant. I recommend Monkey 47 gin with fever tree Mediterranean tonic, a slice of lemon, and 3 ice cubes. May have another. Hic.

I'm in the dog house - Family barbecue on Sunday - I'm not going as the cricket final is on Sunday - So a nice quiet day in on my own from 10.30 on wards - Looking forward to it

Wonder what the odds are on Eng v NZ for the Netball WC final and Rugby WC final are

Looks like Sky have offered free coverage of the final - All live - I believe on Ch 4 - Then moves to More 4 will the Grand Prix is on - Then back to CH4

As long as they don't have Mr Smug Mark Nicholas commentating.

Getting excited - Sofa booked from around 10am onwards

Any thoughts on where might be a good place to watch this in London if you don’t have a ticket for the game? Any big screens going up?

build up starts at 9 Mark I'm on it early I love the build up to sporting events. For the Champions League final a few weeks ago, my Polish girlfgriend had some friends over who just like to drink vodka (not being stereotypical, really) But they start on the vodka early and it was about 5pm. I was wasted before kick-off. Shall not be doing that at 9am thank fully haha!

I assume with the C4 coverage it will just be a direct stream from the Sky footage (in which case Mark Nicholas will be there)
