Early inroads (hold your catches!!) and they'll have to bat out a draw. Stokes knock going to have frightened them a bit plus his history against them. Still a fairly friendly batting surface. Plus a bowler short.

In an era when it has gone professional, is nearly completely reliant on TV income and there are salaries to pay then the number of people interested is crucial surely?

Still think most of it comes down to most interested parties over-estimate the broad appeal / potential of Rugby. Half the geographical country represented by just 2 clubs who can't attract more than 15k between them to watch home games. Value of the last TV contract dropped and now CVC get 27%...

No idea what to make of this match. One interesting stat every batsman that has gone past 50 runs was dropped before they got to 50.

Not sure he's even going to take the field this season now. This issue just gets bigger and bigger.

It's like Keynes said you owe the bank a hundred pounds you have a problem. Owe them a million and they have the problem.

The obvious threat seems to be he is trying to create new pockets of Russian population - either by removing Ukrainians from the areas or fast tracking Russian citizenship for Ukrainians with any sort of Russian ancestry. He's creating new Donbass situations for the future and extending current...

Cars follow that close and can't overtake!! Pitiful. Again only interesting things that happen in this race are drivers misfortunes, team mistakes etc. And still two best teams way ahead of the pack - rule changes not made enough of an impact. Ever get a race without safety cars and they'll...

Alonso showing why it's a bad F1 track.

So if it starts raining during a race they're going to stop and wait for it to pass. And no-one wants the disgrace that was Belgium last year.

Any chance this year Monaco isn't a snoozefest? Even threat of rain seems to have passed

A couple of issues are Ukrainian railways different gauge to European so transport slow already. sheer volume of Ukrainian agricultural exports to other parts of the world would make rail to other ports a difficult option.

My contacts there say they had taken some but rail transport difficult. Some large stores burnt down. But bulk of production in areas not under Russian control. Problem is storing grain as stores need to be emptied to allow for what harvest there will be coming in at end of June and July...
