Mystery Ensemble performing Max Richter’s interpretation of The Four Seasons last night was stunning. Amazing venue and acoustics at The Stoller Hall.

Mike Brearley writing an article on the Clicky Ponting saga just feels surreal now. #cricket www.thetimes.com/article/f033...
Finger-clicking is near the top of any scale of cricketing sin
It’s not shrewd or cunning but rather an egregious piece of cheating, writes England captaincy great and author of a book on the Spirit of Cricket

Reform getting beaten by a landslide in last night’s mayoral election is very satisfying.
Can’t stand the Hundred, but I do like Sky Sports News editorial decision to call them Rent Rockets.
I envisage in 15 years time, Rob Key will still somehow be in his job and will be appointing Zak Crawley as the next England coach. #cricket
Lancashire don’t get a lot of things right, so credit when it’s due. The two Farington games this week have been a brilliant experience.
Waiting for the IMAX to open for the 8am showing of #TheOdyssey is a strange experience at 7:30 on a Thursday morning.
Barack Obama and Art Garfunkel playing the same night in Manchester in October. Hoping Art can decide to support Obama instead so I can see both …

Bizarre how we are being drip fed tiny clips of the #BBCLauraK interview with Burnham all day, but we can’t actually see the full interview til Monday.
Was looking forward to hearing the legendary Roger Deakins on #DesertIslandDiscs today, but man that was hard work. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Telling my family that I hope this rain continues all day so I’m not even tempted to pop to Old Trafford to see the awful Hundred, is a weird experience for all of us.
Funniest thing you’ll read all day. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

We mocked those middle of the night minnows games at the time, but what I’d do to have Cape Verde v Saudi Arabia at 1am again. #WorldCup comedown.
Watching the half time entertainment and I sincerely wish the next World Cup was taking place in North Korea.
Never mind the #WorldCupFinal. It’s all about Royal Birkdale today and Team Tommy*. *Fleetwood not Robinson. #TheOpen
The irony of me keep putting off seeing #TheOdyssey because of its three hour running time, yet I can happily sit through 5 days of Test cricket.
Essentially, it looks like Thomas Tuchel is going to achieve roughly the same as Gareth Southgate did, only be angrier about it.
Almost as gutting as that result is my confusion about how Rooney is so articulate in analysing it all. #ENGARG
If the BBC do one of their licence fee announcements now, there will be at least 5 million TVs smashed to pieces. #ENGARG
Anderson tumbling over so much, he might need a referral to the falls clinic. #ENGARG
