I can, Simon. A batsman is actually permitted to defend his stumps with his bat even if he has already made contact without fear of being given out for hitting it twice. Whacking the ball to the boundary with your second swipe is a different matter...

Can somebody explain why Dawid Malan wasn't given out for hitting the ball twice yesterday when he appeared to stop the ball rolling onto his wicket with his bat?

That inspection will be getting under way soon. Someone has gone to wake the umpires up. They'll be trotting down the pavilion steps any minute.

Phil Helliwell: Cricketing exams. Explain how a spectator can spot technical flaws in England batsmen, but the county coaches or selectors can't.
It is the 50th anniversary of the Professional Cricketers' Association this year and the BBC's Joe Wilson has been to meet Fred Rumsey, the man who helped transform the modern game with cricket's first trade union.
"I just felt it was grossly unfair that the players were in a period of development which they were having nothing at all to say about," Fred recalls. "They weren't even allowed to comment on whether they should start at 2 in the afternoon on a Sunday. Even the church had more say than the players!"
Players were 'servants' to cricket - the man who changed the modern game

The cheeseboard you saw was probably mine. Last summer at the Lord's Test I remembered my board, but forgot the cheese (as documented on TMS). I considered taking lobster to The Oval this summer, but it was too much of a logistical challenge.

News. It has definitely stopped raining and there will be an inspection at 13.35.
We might have some play within the hour.

Anthony Powell: Re 13:57 Lloyd's answer is correct. Your need for help is a sad comment on British maths teaching.
It's potentially looking a little brighter, mind. The umpires are out and their umbrellas are down. The groundstaff have begun some exploratory mopping up.
If you're just joining us, it's raining at Lord's. We've only had about 25 minutes of play. In that time, England lost the wicket of Dawid Malan.

John Drabble: Cricketing exam. Mitchell Johnson bowls to the left, and also bowls to the right. In no more than 4 words, explain why.
Loving this chat. One upsmanship on the best food you've seen taken to the cricket.

Calculate the increased probability of Yorkshire winning the Championship in 2016 in the deciding fixture if former Middlesex man Andrew Strauss was not the Director of Cricket. Marks will be awarded for every England/Yorkshire player that was available but didn’t play and every Middlesex/England player that did.

Prime Minister May's on why she admires Geoffrey Boycott: "The fact that he stuck in there and got on with the job, that was the great thing. The whole point was he stuck at it, he had a plan and got on with it. More often than not he succeeded."
Lloyd has taken up the challenge posed by Andrew at 12:34. Can you tell me if he's right, please?
