Forget seagulls, this was the ibis who nicked my scrambled eggs this morning, as described on @bbc5live Breakfast..
First bit of live broadcasting under the blue skies of Perth, with the @bbc5live Breakfast Up-Down Quiz travel mug. Four days until the Ashes…

Playing at Lord’s is the ultimate dream for so many cricketers around the world. MCC’s Female Playing Members get a chance to do just that.
Here’s a closer look at MCC Women’s Day.
The place where I did my very first cricket reporting, and did my first proper interview - with @David215Gower
Fenner's, one of English cricket's most historic venues - the nursery of Ranji and many others - is in crisis.
The number of matches staged there is plummeting, costs for local sides to hire the venue have soared and the pitch has been attacked as unfit.

Off to Lord’s for (probably) one more (potentially historic) session of the #WTC2O25Final. Don’t forget to listen on @bbctms but then maybe switch to @BBCRadio3 for ep 2 of Knowing the Score, featuring Victoria Pendleton and Paul Lewis. 🚴🎹

When winning the toss doesn't go to plan.. 😬
It was an action packed fixture on Saturday in the Middlesex County Cricket League!
And one of Richmond's runs was a wide!

The love we have for the sports we're lucky enough to bring to the @5liveSport listeners summed up by @iaincartergolf battling tears while reflecting tonight on Rory's Master's win. It's possible to be a brilliant, professional journalist and also hugely emotionally invested .
