2.6 Starc to Duckett, 1 run. Tucked off the hip for a single to keep the strike. A classic nurdle.
And the adverts also just stick in your mind. Especially the ones with catchy theme tunes...
The situation 18 balls in. Do you like my scoreboard? Might jazz it up on Canva later. 🧑🎨

This reminds me of when our part time spinner Liam attempted to fight a pizza outside Club Amadeus in Northallerton. Spent an entire innings attempting to untangle this timeline.

REVIEW. After consulting with the third umpire, each thread will now 'start' with the last ball of the over and work backwards.
Should make it easier to keep track of scoring.
'Should' - Virat's not convinced.

1.1 Hazlewood to Duckett, no run. Hazlewood starts with immaculate length. Duckett shoulders arms, rather like I did last night when the wife tried to hug me after a sweaty dog walk.

Morning everyone, it's time for the TOSS. Stokesy and Cumminsy inspect the pitch here at Scarborough as the coastal sea fret drifts in.
Already I can sense you have questions...
