    Could be a close finish. Sarfaraz needs to stay in to win. 80 needed from 66.

    That is embarrassing from Australia. Such a commanding position as well.

    Not going well for Pakistan. Getting smashed. 135-0 off 21. Finch picking on Hafeez to hit boundaries.

    Finally some more cricket to be played! Good luck to both teams!
  5. Nice of you to give permission for Barcelona to use a pic of you on their Instagram @SirBalon
  6. I thought he still had a bit of time left in the football league to be honest! I know he's getting on a bit but like you say it's close to home for him so may be a natural end to his career. Good luck to him.

    About time he retired but what a career he's had. One of the best ever Indian players in my generation. Six sixes against Stuart Broad my favourite moment. His marvellous part in the 2011 World Cup win. His recovery from lung cancer. A legend of Indian cricket.
  8. Helicopter makes 'forced landing' on Manhattan skyscraper... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-48585041 Probably could have been much worse had it not been able to even land anywhere. Could have been quite catastrophic really. The pilot's done well to land it there before he's died

    Because the conditions can make for some unpredictability (obviously when it's not raining). These days in a standard British summer you can get partly cloudy days, sunny days, overcast days. Not saying you can't get that in other countries either but it does make for some excitement with more than just 1 weather condition to factor in.
  10. Not sure when exactly this was but this is pretty cool if not terrifying at the same time!

  12. Shit, hope everyone got out okay. Given it's mid-afternoon (and not at night like Grenfell when most were sleeping) hopefully people could escape. If I remember correctly, all councils/landlords were required to replace the cladding that was used on Grenfell as an immediate safety precaution.

    And Rafa sees out the win! The third set killed Thiem but it was a decent final apart from that. Thiem pushed Nadal in first 2 sets but Nadal looked fitter and more energetic than Thiem throughout. Experience showed.

    Yep. Quality and experience showing over Thiem now. Although thought it was quite harsh to say Thiem is playing like a teenager even though he's 25. He's not been that bad or thrown his toys out the pram. Really don't know what they were angling at there.

    Tennis

    Yep. Just makes them even more determined to win.

    What's happened to Thiem?! Tired himself out totally by looks of it. Such a contrast to first 2 sets.

    Tennis

    Thiem's giving him a really good test though! First half of the first set was brilliant tennis between the two. Big hitting and really physical. Think it took its toll on Thiem towards the end though.

    India vs Australia today. Arguably biggest game of the tournament so far...

    Agree about Hawkeye. For such a major tournament I don't get why it's not used. Nadal vs Thiem in the final
