I’d seen some chat about there not being a way to wake up and watch the World Cup highlights without seeing the score. Well the BBC has created a link so you can do that without spoilers.

Yesterday I was at Heaton Park Synagogue, remembering Jews murdered by a terrorist. Today, Jews are stabbed on a London street. More terrorism. This does not come out of nowhere. It follows months of poison that downplays antisemitism, treats Jewish fear as suspect and turns public space into a place where that hostility feels normal. We’re told “antisemitism has no place in our society.” Then act like it.

Thank you to the BBC for telling our story. Sepsis awareness still nowhere near where it should be and training should be mandatory for all staff.

As a player, Hugh Morris was a specialist, and an accomplished one as an opening batter for Glamorgan and England.
But in terms of his life in cricket as a whole, the former ECB boss was an extraordinary all-rounder. A warm and humble man too.

Geraint Parry was the first person I spoke to at Wrexham when I started as a reporter. We used called him the nicest man in football. And he is.
If Joey Jones was the embodiment of the club & town on the pitch, Geraint has been Mr Wrexham behind the scenes bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

Absolutely brilliant to watch play, Jess retires from international duty as one of the greats of the modern game.
A Welsh footballing icon up there with the best.
Her legacy is incredible, she has won it all for her clubs & played/scored at a major finals with Wales. Iconic.
