"He will now miss the next four T20I games for the West Indies and will have five demerit points added to his record."

Many places in Doncaster affected by flooding have also seen communities joining together to help.

The thing that’s really struck me in Stainforth today is people's selfless concern for the villagers in neighbouring Fishlake.

The town of Stainforth itself has escaped the worst of the floods, although businesses tell me the closure of the bridge to Fishlake has affected footfall.

Local residents say the community has had to step up amid what is seen by many as an absence of help from the authorities.

The town’s Central Club (above) has been inundated with donations intended for those worst affected in the surrounding areas.

When Boris Johnson visited there earlier today those inside seemed surprised, not only to meet the prime minister but that the government had intervened.

There were heckles asking what had taken him so long but also gratitude he had managed to get there.

The Army has also made it to Stainforth today, with soldiers sandbagging vulnerable points in the banks of the River Don.

It’s hard lifting and, in their downtime, the troops crowded into the town’s cafe, bakery and newsagent, no doubt providing a much needed boost for local businesses.
