    Matt Arnerich: My boss is letting me have the cricket on the big screen in the office all day. She's Danish and doesn't understand cricket ("it goes for 8 hours?!") but didn't bat an eyelid when I asked. Jeez, I love this country #Denmark

  2. England are unchanged while Peter Handscomb is in for the Aussies, with Steve Smith moving up to three.

  3. Australia captain Aaron Finch: "We're going to bat. It looks like a good wicket and won't change too much so hopefully we can put a big score on the board."

  4. Silence.

    The levels of nervousness around the players wil be higher than any other game.

    History doesn't bode well for England, does it?

    This is the most important toss since 1799, when the Earl of Derby won the toss to see what the horse race would be called...

  10. TOSS TIME. Send positive vibes.

    Francis Ward: Sweaty palms, pacing the house. Should I listen or just follow the score while working? What if by listening I make Bairstow get another first baller? Aggh!

    Jarleth Eaton: Of course there has to be signalling problems on my route to Edgbaston on the day of the semi-final. For goodness sake. I’m already a bundle of nerves!

  16. A disgrace. Get to school.

    Traffic is backed up down Pershore Road, cars being beaten by blue England shirts travelling on foot. Entrepreneurs, including a group of children, are selling parking spaces on their driveways for £20 a pop.

  18. We live in a truly 24-hour world. Although my local chemists still closes for a whole hour between 12.30-13.30 as I found out to my cost on Monday.

    As if nobody is likely to go during lunchtime.

    MADNESS.
