England descending to Italian levels of giving away kickable penalties. Which is nice.

Commentary team are clueless. Brighton miss another penalty as Welbeck rattles the post and it comes straight back to him and he tries to volley it towards goal. Lee Mason does know what he is doing this time and rightly awards West Brom a free kick as nobody apart from Welbeck has touched the ball. They haven't a clue what the foul is for.

Hannu Mikkola has passed away aged 78, can remember watching him back in the days when Grandstand/World of Sport would show rallying.

France now have positive Covid tests in the men's 15, 7s and under 20s and the women's 7s squads. The sports minister is seething and has threatened to remove the dispensation that allows them to take part in the 6 nations of she doesn't get "the absolute truth of the matter". https://www.rugbyrama.fr/rugby/xv-de-france/2018-2019/xv-de-france-roxana-maracineanu-menace-de-retirer-la-derogation-pour-le-xv-de-france_sto8150300/story-amp.shtml?__twitter_impression=true

And the use of the word "de-greened" can get right in the sea where it belongs, right next to "double eagle".

Level par second round for Robert MacIntyre leaves him T54th at the moment on +2. Koepka out in front, Finau having another good push at second place. Unfortunately DeChambeau followed yesterday's hackathon with a -8 64. Hovland was 7 under thru 17, but finished with a quadruple bogey 8, hacking about in the jungle and thinning one out of a bunker.

Lovely biscuits

8 for Friday, band and sports brand.

Wolff.

When Joe Root suddenly looks as dangerous as peak Warne you know something has gone awry with the pitch. That doesn't excuse how poor some of England's batting was, showed up how clueless some of them are against spin. First time Anderson and Broad have played together without either of them taking a wicket, although they also bowled the fewest number of overs they ever have combined.

Stolen from twitter, look at the spelling on the bib.

He withdrew from the Farmer's last month with an injured hand. Not having a good start to the year.

Nightmare start from Bob MacIntyre as he goes +3 thru his first 4 holes. At least there is no cut to worry about. For those in the fantasy golf who might have him, Cantlay was a late withdrawal.

What's the story McIlory

Rumours that it could be rearranged for Saturday 3rd July, which is the date of the first Lions test.

Leach gets 2 wickets, both lbw. India lead by 3 runs with 5 wickets down.

10 for Thursday.

Cracking finish, Neesham bowls 1 over all day and takes 2 wickets to effectively win the game.

Some stunning shots at the end, thought there was a wide and a no ball missed by the umpires in the last couple of balls.

Good to see Raul Jimenez back in training.

99-3 at the close.

And I know I've said it before, but if Archer is only going to bowl at 135kph then he offers very little to the team, too many loose balls that are easily dispatched.

Some captaincy decisions are baffling, Leach has just bowled 9 overs in a row so they stick him out on the boundary, he looked gubbed trying to cut one off there. He's just got Kohli to drag one on to the stumps. 98-3.

Pope drops Kohli at gully, got to hold those.
