Off to Lord’s for the #WT20WC final. Very nervous, bit emotional. Much to say but tl;dr - it’s obviously Australia’s to lose and it’ll be heartbreak if they don’t, but whatever happens this summer has been a triumph for that utterly reborn England team. I love them. 🏏🏴🇦🇺

And the weather was so hot that we almost witnessed the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian umpire.
Away from the big cricket news of yesterday, Austria became the fifth team to score over 300 in a men's T20I as they racked up 322-7 against Hungary, the second highest men's T20I total. Captain Karanbir Singh made the second highest individual score with 164 from 57 balls.

We once looked on passively as the Taliban destroyed 1,500 year old Buddhist statues. We must refuse to do nothing as Russia, likewise, deliberately targets the oldest, most beautiful religious churches in Ukraine such as the Lavra. This is a night which really should change the war.
