    England favourites for a major sporting event.

    It's not something that you see every day, and if you're a miserable old fool like me it doesn't quite feel right somehow!

    Other than this year's Six Nations, when was the last time an English side were considered favourites for any major international sporting event?

  2. England are favouritespublished at 09:51 British Summer Time 1 June 2017

    England have earned their tag as the bookmakers' favourites to win the Champions Trophy on home soil, and there will be disappointment if Eoin Morgan's side do not reach at least the final.

    There is a lot of expectation around this set of players, but they cannot complain - they have built their lofty standing in world cricket through their one-day performances over the last couple of years.

    They have been playing consistently good cricket, clearly have a good team spirit and a bunch of top-quality, experienced players who have established themselves at international level.

    This set of players is fearless - I look back at the Champions Trophy final of four years ago, when England lost the plot and subsided against India in the final, and I don't think this team will do that. They have more experience about them. They've got a harder edge.

  3. What is the Champions Trophy?published at 09:48 British Summer Time 1 June 2017

    It is basically a mini-World Cup with the top eight ODI sides playing matches across three grounds - Edgbaston, Cardiff and The Oval.

    Format:

    There are two groups of four with the top two teams reaching the semi-finals.

    All teams play each other in the group.

    England v Bangladesh

    Ah, the first Thursday of June.

    Sun-kissed south London skies, soon-to-be er, refreshed punters, the lash of willow on leather.

    It's time for the first test of the summer - if not the first Test...

    We may have to wait until the first Thursday of July for a five-day Test match, but you won't be short of cricket action until then.

    It's the ICC Champions Trophy. England get the ball rolling this morning.

    Excited?
