Tidy and timely fifty for Emilio Gay for Durham against Kent. He was with the Lions in the winter and could be the first to make his move when it comes to pushing his England case on day one of the season #bbccricket

Ben Stokes’ freak injury in the nets has caused disruption. He would have played for Durham next week but is now not expected to feature until the last two Championship rounds in May. bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/arti…
There’s a real buzz and a LOT of Nepal fans in Mumbai today. This is the famous Marine Drive an hour before the start of their T20 World Cup match v England… #bbccricket
“Dear Sunderland, I wanted to write to you about my mate Jack.”
When @SunderlandAFC’s Wilson Isidor read Jack’s story, he felt compelled to visit his Mum, Jackie.
What followed will remain with them forever ❤️
A belated plug for my chat with Sonny Baker. If there’s a correlation between words spoken and wickets taken, he’s on to a winner… #bbccricketbbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/arti…
The balls from the England India Test series are being sent back to Dukes so they can examine why they are going soft. More on that and the wider situation in here… bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/arti…
Feels like a good time to plug this.
A look at Jofra Archer's journey back to Test cricket and some theories for what bowler he will be going forward, with those who know him best.

Very impressive from Thomas Rew. His 73-ball ton against India U19s has been sensational and is England's fastest in Youth ODIs.
14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi made an impressive 45 earlier but Rew making India's 290 look well below par at Northampton. #bbccricket
Archer gets Gay lbw in his next over! Fuller, a bit straight and a hint of swing in from round the wicket. 1-15 in his eighth over. That's Archer's first first-class wicket in 1,501 days. #bbccricket
Archer is three overs into his second spell of the day, which has included some short stuff to Will Rhodes with a leg gully in place. He's had a close lbw shout turned down too. I reckon he'd have been asking for a review if available. Seven overs, three maidens, 0-21 so far
A very encouraging spell in the afternoon from Archer. Six overs on the spin. Three maidens. 1-8. He beat Colin Ackermann's edge with his final ball of the spell, having already had the Durham right-hander nicking short of slip in the over.
