Too close to call. We were 4 wickets at this stage too and they know they have a middling target to chase. Need a couple more wickets soonish.
Seemingly not at Hoddesdon where a Hoddesdon XI were playing a President's XI, accompanied by silly walk out music,DRS ( some Springbok on the microphone calling the batters "tossers" to the bemusement of my 10 year old boys!) Some daft bint in a Range Rover steaming up the path, trying to park in the tennis club car park too. She'll get locked in if she stays.
Stones retiring from the ODI format after today. Real shame but definitely the correct decision. He is single-handedly the player who got me most interested in limited overs cricket in this country. Leaves with an excellent legacy.
I've not seen the pitch but not batting first on what I imagine is a rock hard deck when it's 40 degrees is astonishing. What's the record ladies ODI score? Edit - Holy sh1t, it's 491/4!! New Zealand vs Ireland. NZ won by 347 runs!
Remember him quite well being in the middle over such a long period of time. https://www.skysports.com/cricket/n...ational-umpire-from-south-africa-dies-aged-73
Back WFH today so expecting I might get to watch 30 mins or so of England batting thanks to the rain in London yesterday.
