Sun: Just one sunspot disappearing off to the side of the sun.
England were victorious in the final T20 against the Windies. It’s not real cricket but it’s OK if we win!
Stoke played out a goalless draw at QPR. They could have played without a goalkeeper, no problem. Both teams had a man sent off. Pretty poor show all round. Derby away Wednesday evening. Reading on Saturday, I’ll be there if the weather allows the trains to run.
