India in England – the 3rd Test at Headingley. Another great morning and early afternoon of cricket so far. England’s bowling has been superb after India won the toss and chose to bat. 🏏

Off to Green Man Festival 2021 this morning. I’ve been going to this festival since 2008. The only years I’ve missed were 2018 (holidaying elsewhere) and last year (because of the COVID-19 cancellation). Feels good to be going back now and seeing some live music – my first major event since the lockdowns.

Whilst there I usually have absolutely no phone service/signal so, unless they’ve improved the network infrastructure in the last 2 years, I probably won’t be making any online posts or photograph uploads. Although, sometimes, in the early hours of the morning when most other phones are off or not being used you can get some sort of data connection…

This year I will be taking a ‘proper’ camera for the first time rather than just a phone. I say ‘proper’ but it is a 14 year old Pentax K100D. Just have to wait and see what sort of photographs I can take with it – and if it survives the experience.

Now just hoping the weather stays good.

Great day of cricket 🏏

Stunning victory by India over England in a gripping 2nd Test and Glamorgan beat Essex to reach the Royal London One-Day Cup Final.

I’ve done little else than follow these matches since 11am this morning – better go and prepare an evening meal now 😊

🏏 stats:

2021 England v India at Lord’s – the first time in a home test that both England openers have been out for 0. That’s in the **531** home test matches since 1880. 🤯

As a bonus, in checking this I’ve just discovered the HowSTAT! 🔗 website.
