    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    It's cloudy here but it's dry and warm. But there's a feeling that England are on the brink with not a lot of batting to come.

  3. The bad news for me is that I watched an episode of Shooting Stars this morning and I've had the Baked Potato song stuck in my head for two hours and counting. It's driving me up the wall.

  9. Everyone's in a cracking mood today - the bloke in my local Co-op was very keen to chat about the cricket when I nipped in for some orange juice this morning.

    He reckons Jos Buttler's going to ton up today. So if he gets out early, it's his fault, and not mine.

    BBC Sport at Emirates Old Trafford

    Today is a good day. It's warm. I've got my shorts on. Moyles finished the Platinum Hour with Coldplay's Politik and My Definition by Dream Warriors. The Champions League is back. My other half tells me my son slept through the night last night (rare). It's the weekend. Happy ruddy Friday.

  11. Let's face it - yesterday did not go to plan for England.
