    When you get on the 98 bus to do your Saturday morning shop... and run into a load of cricket fans.

    Afghanistan fans

    There’s a fair amount of Afghanistan representation here too.

    Pakistan or India fans = BRILLIANT noise.

    It is absolutely mental outside Headingley. We drove in behind a Pakistan fan convoy and then the walk to the ground... wow. Flares going off, horns blaring, music blasting out. There was one sole gentleman in the traditional English cable knit jumper, holding a handmade 'I need cricket tickets' sign as the fans milled around him. Put it this way, it's going to be noisy.

    Fear not, for there are still two whole weeks left of the World Cup.

    By the time it ends on 14 July it will have lasted 46 days - longer than Brian Clough managed at Leeds.

    There's a gathering down near the pitch as we get ready for the toss. No worries of any rain, it's as lovely as Leeds can be down there.

    Too wet. Too dark.

    Too cold. Too hot. Too bright.

    Too many bees?

    For a sport played outside cricket likes to limit itself but this was a new one on me! Bees stop play...

    Pakistan v Afghanistan (10:30 BST)

    It's another beautiful morning in the north of England. Almost like it's summer.

    This Cricket World Cup rolls on to day 31, which means it has now lasted longer than two separate Chinese emperors managed on the throne.

    And we still don't know who's going through to the last four!

    Headingley, yesterday. It's even sunnier now

    I'm sure Zhu Changluo and Liu He provided plenty of entertainment during their spells in charge back in the day but were they brought to a standstill by a swarm of bees?

    I doubt it. We roll on...
