    The Canadians drink Red Eye, a mix of Beer and Clamato (Tomato and Clam juice). I was offered one on holiday in Mexico, can't think of anything worse!

  3. Jos Buttler has just hit the last ball of England's Super Over for four on TMS, by the way. Goosebumps again.

  4. Absolutely, Alex. I have been known to dip chicken nuggets in ice cream. Not as bad as you'd think.

    Is this how we're going to get through the rain delay? Unusual food/drink combinations? If so, I'm absolutely here for it. The gauntlet has been thrown down with the Pepsi/Milk combo. Bring it on people...

  6. It's still raining at Lord's. Here are Mark Wood's three wickets from day two to brighten the mood.

    Norrin Radd: I have watched and listened to this world cup final final many times now, and yet I'm still convinced we will lose it.

  8. Maybe I'm missing out?

    White Dog Studios: Have you never heard of a ‘Coke Float’ ? That’s vanilla ice cream and cola. It’s lovely and not that different from Pepsi and milk.

    James Wells: As a special treat we were sometimes allowed a Coke Float as kids....coca cola + ice cream. It’s halfway between a drink, a pudding and science experiment.

  10. I've just got goosebumps listening to Ben Stokes sweep Trent Boult for six again on TMS.

  11. I can't remember a more composed or impressive debut knock than Devon Conway's. It was chanceless.

    'He'll remember this for life' Conway hits double century in debut Test

  12. Surely it doesn't get much worse than mixing Pepsi and milk?

  13. We have been alerted to this tweet.

    It is, quite frankly, one of the worst things I have ever seen. New Zealanders have a lot of explaining to do.

    BBC Test Match Special

    During this rain delay Test Match Special will be celebrating the last time England and New Zealand met at Lord's, coincidentally on Ben Stokes' 30th birthday.

    You will be able to hear a replay of the fantastic 'Final Hour' documentary which describes the latter stages of that World Cup final through the stories of those involved.

  16. Follow latest from County Championship

    It seems the weather is good everywhere but the south east today (Insert joke about not playing cricket up north here).

    There'll be plenty of play on the county circuit with the second day of eight matches getting under way shortly.

    You can follow those matches via our fantastic county coverage here.

    Here's a picture of Cameron Bancroft being quite spectacularly bowled...

    They've got the forecast wrong before... but it does look pretty settled.

  18. 'A chance it will clear mid-afternoon'

    BBC Weather's Louise Lear: "I can't believe that I'm looking at the radar for the UK and it is dry and sunny everywhere except from Oxfordshire down to London. It will come and go and there is a chance it will clear mid-afternoon, but I suspect much of the day will be interrupted. The forecast for this weekend is absolutely glorious."

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    I'm sorry to report that, at the moment, it is raining. It's a real disappointment because the game is so well poised.
