England have called up Sussex seamer Henry Crocombe to their squad for the second Test. He’s cover for Ollie Robinson, who is having a scan on his knee today after “soreness” in training yesterday

England leaning towards replacing Ben Stokes with a batsman, then picking all pace attack at the Oval. Obvs no final decisions yet
James Rew has been the next man in, but a huge statement from Jordan Cox (184*) today that could change the pecking order. telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2026…

Where does Kane Williamson rank among the fab four Test batsmen?
Had a go at evaluating the respective records of Williamson, Kohli, Smith and Root; I think there is a clear hierarchy

Somerset are playing a Championship match without any of their batting Toms - Abell, Lammonby, Banton and Kohler-Cadmore. Luckily they have Thomas Rew to provide a little balance

Zak Crawley has taken a break from first-class cricket for (at least) the next two rounds of Champo action. Tricky timing for Kent, with Ben Compton and Tawanda Muyeye injured.

Has made a 62-ball hundred, his fifth of the season in the Championship. Sits top of the Champo run-scoring charts

All sorts of other stuff going on, but Dan Lawrence is just an absolute joy to watch bat at the moment. Closing in on 300 runs for the match at the Oval against Hampshire

It’s heartbreaking when you hear of a team mates passing.
Even more so when it’s way too soon. RIP Keith Piper.
The little genius had the most wonderful hands. Always had your back. A sad night. 💔

Holding pattern emerged today. ECB unclear over what Stokes is planning, said to be giving him “time and space” to make decisions telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2026…
