Mickey Arthur on Mohammad Abbas: 'He’s almost like a surgeon in the way he works with that seam' theguardian.com/sport/2026/a…

The good bit: more than 18,000 in at Edgbaston today, Smriti Mandhana slapping it over the off-side The bad: a complete structural mismatch, no handshakes between the two teams, how predictable it all is theguardian.com/sport/2026/j…

'Rights groups condemn new record number of executions in Saudi Arabia' bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg5m… A comforting thought as you see the logo of Aramco smeared over every surface at Cricket World Cups (the ICC proudly state their partnership "extends beyond traditional sponsorship").

Not going to get much attention ... but England Lions are heading to a big defeat against Australia A. Lost by an innings to them in Feb, too Lions have also played five FC games against India A in last two years and won none. Things not ideal below the top either
