Is it odd that I am supporting Fiji this afternoon and England tonight?

History suggests England will beat Norway but then lose to France after a 200 mile, 19 day forced march.

@PictureSporting Me too.

Standing room only for the John Player League match between Kent and Yorkshire at Maidstone on July 4th 1971. Yorkshire, chasing 221 in 29 overs, finished on 137 for 6 ... a totally different approach to batting almost half a century ago! The JPL was the reason I started to go to cricket as a 10 year old. 40 overs, starting after an early Sunday lunch, back home in time for bed, a full afternoon with some (back then) amazing English and overseas players

Dumped on the side of the road in north Wales seemingly dumped by Yodel/Inpost driver. Rang the company but they don’t care. @InPostUK @Inpostukhelp

Staff at the BBC's Today programme have reportedly been told that social and digital platforms are now top priority for correspondents, with making content for Tiktok, Instagram and other platforms taking priority over radio reporting theguardian.com/media/2026/jun…

@bbctms hope some of you remember Tales from the Long Room. Peter Tinniswood.

NEW: Admiral Sir Tony Radakin has written an explosive op-ed for The Sunday Times. It is the first time the former chief of the defence staff has spoken since retiring last year. He said: 💥 Andy Burnham must appoint a "wartime cabinet" that will properly fund the military. 💥 The "peace dividend" is over - and the role of the PM is now a "quasi-wartime" one. 💥 The UK is "looking like a laggard" in Nato and we are bottom of the Nato league table to meet our military commitments. 💥 Warned Burnham to avoid antagonising Donald Trump - or else the USA could withdraw its "unconditional support" for the UK. 💥 Says the next PM must "protect the nuclear deterrent." Full words in @thetimes below 👇

C’mon @bbctms TV using metres in a gfx on a cricket pitch is bonkers. Totally unrelatable to 22yards.

@JackoRugby @CardiffCityFC @NewportCounty @SwansOfficial @Wrexham_AFC @FAWales Really sad news Jacko. So many memories of Richard. Excellent broadcaster and nice bloke.

It is with a heavy heart that I bear very sad news: the death of Richard Shepherd, BBC Radio Wales' football commentator @CardiffCityFC @NewportCounty @SwansOfficial @Wrexham_AFC @FAWales. Welsh football has lost a distinctive voice. Sympathy to his wife Brenda, family, friends.

I worked at the Bank of England. I know what it takes to run a successful economy.

@timhhartley It’s an excellent book and taken at the blueprint of One Nation Toryism.

Egremont the toff falls for Sybil the 'commoner.' But all is not what it seems. Class, industrialisation, the Chartists and the changing face of England in the mid 1800s. Very readable. Pleasantly not what I expected.

@spoonus @British_Airways @BA_USA Use the USB?

Well done @British_Airways @BA_USA …in business class (club world) hoping to get a lot of work done on my 10 hour flight from LHR to AUS. Turns out I can’t plug my laptop in! Astonishingly bad design BA191

@love_caravans The problem started when he caved to backbench pressure on Reeves’ first budget. Lacked the courage to get the unpopular stuff through. Lost authority and what followed was U turn after U turn.

@RogerPinney It’s almost as if he’s been a crap PM who’s has one crisis after another 😂😂

Absolutely bizarre that a PM is being pushed to resign just two years after winning a massive majority.

"Investigation launched after foul-smelling sewage enters Welsh river." Welsh Water up to their old tricks again I see. Oh and their version of a regulator, Natural Resources Wales is just as hopeless as their English counterpart the Environment Agency. walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-new…

@Ioan_Dyer @HomeOfCricket @BLACKCAPS @englandcricket @gtfm_radio @GTFMSPORT I’d rather come back tomorrow

@RogerPinney @HomeOfCricket @BLACKCAPS @englandcricket @gtfm_radio @GTFMSPORT you thinK a couple of hours would be needed to wrap up the game?

No rain over @HomeOfCricket Day 3; @BLACKCAPS require 218 to win, @englandcricket require 7 wickets updates, if there are any on @gtfm_radio @GTFMSPORT throughout the day

@Ioan_Dyer @HomeOfCricket @BLACKCAPS @englandcricket @gtfm_radio @GTFMSPORT Very frustrating

@RogerPinney @HomeOfCricket @BLACKCAPS @englandcricket @gtfm_radio @GTFMSPORT as soon as it brightens up, they start taking the covers off, then it starts to rain again, it going to be one of these days

@Ioan_Dyer @HomeOfCricket @BLACKCAPS @englandcricket @gtfm_radio @GTFMSPORT They say they are looking at a possible two hour window in the weather but very much hit or miss.

@RogerPinney @HomeOfCricket @BLACKCAPS @englandcricket @gtfm_radio @GTFMSPORT Amazing! You in the stand that they’re developing
