    Hiya! Other than finishing later, and being unsure about what to eat at what time, there was nothing massively surprising yesterday. West Indies were wasteful with the ball, Joe Root and Alastair Cook scored a load of runs, and a man dressed as Mr Blobby led a conga around the Hollies Stand. Nothing new there.

    What did we learn about day-night cricket yesterday?

    To be honest, not an awful lot.
