  3. Good morning

    Kylie Minogue likes a bit of cricket, as the Twitter pic below from 2017 shows*.

    Is there a chance then that she will be relaxing ahead of her Pyramid Stage performance at Glastonbury later on by following today's County Championship action via the #bbccricket text commentary?

    We should be so lucky....

    However, for All The Lovers of the red-ball game, we have eight matches starting today and the prospect of some great action that we will be covering Especially For You.

    Please Stay with us throughout the day if you can. Play begins at 11:00.
