A major argument in favour of five-day Tests: this England team is ideally suited to four-day Tests, and everyone can see that their Bazball style is not quite right and it needs tinkering to be ideal for the five-day genre.

Mike Procter RIP was one of the finest people ever to play cricket, as a human being as well as a world-class allrounder.

The ICC should have taken a stand on behalf of Test cricket and de-classified NZ v SA after the latter selected a second XI.

Footprints is a brilliant new anthology of the published and unpublished writings by the late David Foot. Has anybody written so many fine words on so many subjects, including cricket of course?

England have played better cricket than Australia - and they have played worse cricket than Australia, who have been pretty steady throughout. And thus it goes on at the Oval....

Well, here she is - #TheBirdcageLibrary is out today. This book is about adventure, hope, love, and most of all freedom. It took a lot from me, but it gave a lot more back. Thank you so much to everyone who helped drag it (and me) into the light of day. Now off to celebrate with…

If England had won in Wellington, instead of losing by one run, they would have had an aura of invincibility which might have helped them over the line at Edgbaston.

ONE week until #TheBirdcageLibrary is published and did I go find a giant birdcage and stand in front of it by way of shameless self promotion? Of course I did! Geni.us/tblfb

This will be the 24th Ashes series I've covered live/in person. Sounds more optimistic than saying it will be my 13th Ashes at home.

Time to vote on the 12 greatest Ashes centuries and rank them in order. Which will come top? The Stokes 135, or KP 158, or....please see Telegraph online for the other nominations before voting closes tonight!

Hello ECB. When trying to find a format for the Hundred in 2019, you omitted to trial 15 x 6-ball overs plus one ten-ball over, which makes the climax of an innings and is one novelty while the rest is traditional cricket. Trial it now.

In all my researching for this book, published last week, I didn't come across an example of batting more dazzlingly brilliant than Ollie Pope's v Hampshire (bearing in mind no bouncer barrage)

One swallow does not make a summer ... but I haven't seen Zak Crawley look more compact and controlled than he did in his 91 today v Northants
