55 from 10 overs for England so far this morning, with Stokes launching Maharaj for 6 with the last ball of the over.

Rabada fined and given 1 demerit point for his celebrations in front of root yesterday, that point means he has crossed the 4 points in 24 months threshold and will miss the next test at the Wanderers.

8 for Friday, poet and Mr X wrong.

And quickly followed by 50 for Pope.

Maybe just edged it due to Stokes and Pope at the end of the day, but they have started well (after a delay) this morning helped by the Saffers chucking pies. 50 up for Stokes.

9 for Thursday, NBA wrong.

Yep, the new chairman said as much last week. I met up with my uncle and his mates last week who were up for the Exeter game, as you can imagine they fkn despise Sarries. As well as the companies set up for the players, there are rumours that some players wives had jobs at the club, with one allegedly working as a cleaner and being paid circa 100k per year.

He'll be heading 6 feet towards middle earth soon.

That was my thoughts too. Read an article online where even Cairney's solicitor admits that Jones silence when she was asked by Suzanne Allan if she had anything to say to Margaret was pretty damning. The judges full sentencing statement can be found here. Going by the fact their sentences started on different dates I can only presume that Cairney was bailedwhen they were first arrested, while Jones was remanded in custody. http://www.scotland-judiciary.org.uk/8/2233/HMA-v-Edward-Cairney-and-Avril-Jones http://www.scotland-judiciary.org.uk/8/2233/HMA-v-Edward-Cairney-and-Avril-Jones

224-4 at the close, Pope on 39 and Stokes on 38, good steady partnership after losing those wickets earlier. Honours pretty much even, pitch hasn't offered much for either team today.

A 10 and 8 win for Brooks against Bryson.

And one other thing, that band can get in the fucking sea.

Wasted review by SA after taking the new ball, Philander convincing them to go upstairs with one that hit Stokes on the leg while offering no shot, but always looked to be going down leg side. Pope has been excellent so far.

Wood for Anderson the only change for England who won the toss and chose to bat. A few scares as you would expect with the new ball, but the openers survive the first hour, 30-0.

Does my gut feeling say that both Cairney and Jones are guilty as sin? Yes. On the basis of the evidence shown in the programme, and the lack of a body or any other forensic evidence, could I with a clear conscience say they were 100% guilty beyond all reasonable doubt? Probably not. The failure to consider the possibility that she had left the house and headed for Inverkip rather than Weymss Bay was utterly baffling. I have no idea why the prosecution even put the bone guy on the witness stand, when all that proved was that no human bones had been found. Jones is obviously terrified of Cairney IMO, but her demeanour during the BBC interview and her failure to say anything when asked what she would say to Margaret was pretty damning. My missus is of the opinion that if Cairney carks it first, Jones might come clean then.

Former Rangers and Scotland goalie and Scotland manager Bobby Brown passes away, aged 96.

Ireland have named Sexton as captain, which has bemused a lot of their fans because 1) he will be retired before the next world cup and most think they should be picking a captain who will be there right through the next 4 years and 2) he will almost certainly be injured at some point during the 6 nations.

Don't remember too much about it other than Ernest Saunders winning his appeal to have his sentence reduced due to being diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and then his subsequent recovery after he was released early from prison.

Nothing suspicious about that decision at all...

8 for Wednesday. PM and Stamford Bridge wrong.

Definitely. He had an unbelievable knack of knowing exactly what play the opposition were going to run.

The players still don't know how much they won at the BDO tourney. https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/14/john-lowe-slams-bdo-world-championship-scam-prize-money-calls-clarity-12056953/

Luke Kuechly also announces his retirement after suffering multiple concussions and several shoulder injuries in the last few years. He did play in all 16 Panthers games this year though. https://twitter.com/Panthers/status/1217257977352204294?s=19

Antonio Gates announces his retirement. Superb player, one of the best ever to play at tight end.

As a few folk have mentioned in the replies, that's gross negligence from the organisers. The daily air quality report was very poor, with the advice not to exercise outdoors, yet they thought going ahead wuth the qualifiers was a good idea.
