Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted. An all-time great World Cup story.

Sussex go top of division one after an innings win over Glamorgan. And that’s even with their 12-point penalty. Hell of a story if they can stay there.

After the drinks break, Fatima has taken a superb catch to break the 91-run stand and then struck to remove Harmanpreet. All while taking lots of key decisions re field placements and bowling changes. Well done skip.
