Heatwave in the UK. OK, I grew up in Italy, and when it is very hot and you have no air-conditioning, you do this - 1) Unless there's a good breeze, CLOSE all the windows and draw all the blinds and curtains until sunset. The outside air is hot, you do not want it inside with you. 2) DRINK WATER

Little treat on the Somerset stream right now with Ella McCaughan in the commentary box #VitalityBlast

So tickets are available yet for group matches but not yet for the final? Does anyone know when these might go up for sale?

Anyone going to be able to stop Surrey in the Vitality Blast this year? So much hitting power all the way down the order!

Huge over from Taylor #VitalityBlast

Who is the best fielder of her own bowling in women's cricket at the moment and who is second best after Lindsey Smith

I feel a rant coming on!!! We can’t let this happen, I’m sure @rafnicholson.bsky.social & @crickether.com will have a few words to say www.espncricinfo.com/story/women-...

UCI introducing new rules into professional cycling which completely screw over the womens peloton. Seems normal

A cyclist knocked of his bike by a drunk driver needed part of his face prostetic to be 3D printed. Let's play guess the BBC headline: Cyclist gets 3D printed face after bike accident That's right! Just an accident! Unbelievable

I despise multi club ownership. I am delighted that Uefa are going to be form on it and make it less attractive by banning clubs in the same competition..BUT as ever with Uefa it's the little guys they punish and come down on. Red Bulls were OK as have been many. Awful for this club. Let it all end

The only thing this proved is that tennis is not ready to seriously deal with a doping problem. Sinner should have had a 2 year ban. simple

And yes my office now smells of Kombucha that dried up during the day when I was off and the floor is all sticky.

Friendly reminder to burp your Kombucha. You'll thank me later

Today’s beautiful cricket ground is the incomparable Arundel in Sussex

And this is why we need more of it in the women's game. People huddled around radios at 3AM because Lauren Bell is about to take the last wicket in the 3rd test of the ashes to put England 3-0 up... One can hope.

"we're not going to listen to Kevin Pietersen" Vic Marks Very wise words #WTCFinal

Not a dry eye in the house

Delighted for South Africa #WTC

Sunny Saturday morning, doing some jobs around the house and TMS in the background. Bliss

All these marches for Gaza and none on UK cuts in development aid

How do you explain to non cycling people someone like Pogacar?

Well turns out he practically did it by the time I finished typing this #Dauphine

Pogacar is going to blow everyone away on this climb by the looks of it

Went to a gig and after a quick visit to the loos I was washing my hands at the same sink as the lead singer.

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

Opens news site *INTERNAL SCREAMING* closes news site We are the worst species

Go JAKIE!!!

That catch from Knott just now was phenomenal #VitalityBlast

If I can count correctly she top scores in the Vitality T20 by about 50runs and has scored the highest individual score. I was worried for Hampshire with Wyatt-Hodge leaving to Surrey but Ella has stepped up and delivered!

Ella McCaughan writes her name in the history books! She reaches the first century of the women's Vitality Blast!
