Probably the most personal piece that I've written in 32 years of being a journalist. The untold story of Norway's merchant navy 'war sailors', of which my grandfather was one, and their immense sacrifice for the Allies during World War Two, in today's @Daily_Express

As the dying embers of the 2026 season fade away, we’re already looking forward to next summer, when the centrepiece will be The Ashes series.
The Kia Oval is a happy hunting ground for England's men's side, winning 18 of their 39 Tests against Australia - the most of any venue in England.
England women also have a brilliant Kia Oval record, winning all six of their recent WT20Is at the ground.
