Covid positive tests in the Lions camp. There’s going to be another round of testing later today to see if the game goes ahead. If it does, kick off’ll be delayed until 7 UK time.
South Africa – Georgia has been called off. Lots of Boks have tested positive and 4 Georgians have as well.
Anderson just has the one wicket today as Lancs try to bowl out Kent for the second time to win the game. I’m a bit annoyed that the radio have switched coverage to that match. Earlier on it was Hampshire v Surrey which was more enjoyable. Surrey are 36/4 off 45 overs needing 380 to make Hampshire bat again. Hashim Amla is 5 not out off 114 balls, he was 3 off 107 but has picked up in the last couple of overs.
Amla hits a four to take Surrey’s run rate over one an over (68/5 off 61). Hants need to get things back under control, should bring Keith Barker back on (16 overs, 14 maidens, 2 for 2).
I’m pretty sure the only reason to cook scotch eggs like that is so you can serve them cut in half and everyone goes “ooooh look a runny yolk, aren’t you clever” before they even taste the bloody thing. Why not serve them without cutting them in half?
I’m a hard boiled egg in the middle of me Scotch Egg type.
They are really good straight out of the fridge, I don’t want runny egg yolk straight out of the fridge.
Scotch Egg, tomato (also cold, just out of fridge), Branston pickle (refrigeration optional) .
Sorted.
One of Margaret Thatcher's signature starter dishes was blended beef consommé, cream cheese and curry powder, left to set in ramekins and topped with a layer of jellied soup.
I’m not watching the game, but this was always going to be a hiding, we are usually up against it at this level and this year we are on the cycle of playing 18 and 19 year olds – many of our lads have not played at all this season and we are missing a fair number, the pack in particular is underpowered compared to what we could have had available if it weren’t for injuries, plus we are missing a few diamonds like Dobie and Currie in the backs.
