    I've been sat against my open freezer. Unfortunately it has an alarm that goes off if the door is open over a minute. Got more hot and bothered trying to turn that off.

  2. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It's great to have so many fans in and the players will feel that, especially having played in front of nobody earlier in the year. We haven't seen a ball bowled but the atmosphere is building. Hopefully it will be a great night.

  3. Are choc ices still a thing? I can't remember the last time I saw one. Impossible to eat without getting a gooey mess in the bottom of the paper.

  4. Get Involved

    And, as ever, you can get involved. Text 81111 (standard rates apply) or tweet using the hashtag #bbccricket.

    Tell me how you're coping in the heat. Tell me if you're actually revelling in it.

    Have you tried to climb in the fridge yet? I'm about to have an ice cream.

  5. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special

    It's Eid Mubarak so there will be a real carnival atmosphere. It feels like a festival at Old Trafford. Hopefully we'll have a cracking game as well.

    Pin your ears back, because Test Match Special is on the air. You can listen at the top of this page.

    We'll also have highlights as they happen.

    Watch, listen, read. All covered.

  7. Pakistan captain Babar Azam: "We have to go and win the match. The middle order did well in the first match, but not the second."

  8. A couple of changes for Pakistan, too. Out go batsman Azam Khan and pacer Haris Rauf. In come fast bowler Hasan Ali and leggie Usman Qadir.

  10. England captain Eoin Morgan: "It was a fantastic performance at Headingley. It was more of all-round performance.

    "At Old Trafford over the years has taken spin and some reverse swing. It's a unique ground to play at in our own country. It's as close as we get to playing in a World Cup game."

  11. England have packed their batting. Liam Livingstone is down to bat at seven. He'll have to bowl some spin, too, because Matt Parkinson is left out. David Willey for Tom Curran is another change for the hosts.

  12. Pakistan win the toss and bat

    Eoin Morgan is back to lead England, but it is Babar Azam who calls correctly. He chooses to bat first. Remember, the two sides who have batted first in the opening two matches have gone on to win.

  13. Luckily, we have a T20 series decider between England and Pakistan to cool us down.

    The skippers have had a flick at Old Trafford...

  14. Or this...

  15. When the weather is like this, there are only a few things you can do.

    This, for example...

  16. I mean, stupidly hot.

    I'm pretty sure there should be laws about being expected to function as a member of society in temperatures this high.

  17. Good grief, it's hot.
