Not much more you can say about @jimmy9, so I won’t try to. Now we need to show we can score 500+ in these conditions. Not necessarily for this Test, but as a foundation for rest of the winter. England can’t rely solely on @root66 to compete with India. Everyone needs to step up.

Unreal from @jimmy9 lost a bit of pace, not much swing but consistency of delivery after delivery in the right areas is genius material, same with @StuartBroad8 last test match! What will we do without them 🤷♂️ we’ve got talent no doubt but those 2 just have so much discipline👑👑

Hey @englandcricket, print this and give it to Sibley & Crawley. They can call me to discuss it at length if they want…! 👍🏻 pic.twitter.com/qBmArq211s

Some Saturday night lockdown fun.
Golf
Pietersen also had wisdom to share regarding Rory McIlroy’s Abu Dhabi exploits.
Crowds(albeit small crowds) are back in Abu Dhabi for the golf creating atmosphere and guess who’s up top of the leaderboard?
Rory needs crowds. It’s plain and simple! Hard for some to understand, but it’s just the case…!

MMA
Conor McGregor was ready for war.
Darts
Fallon Sherrock admitted her Pokemon obsession.
