The Repair Shop on the beeb. The equivalent of bake off, harmless , feel good, nice gentle watch. I just love the craftsmen and women, very clever, very skllled. There are always back stories behind the items and being very average at DIY i am always amazed how they manage ot fix or restore items that look ready for the tip.

It’s fantastic. The reactions of the owners of the objects are wonderfully uplifting

Giroud might be the most underrated player in the prem, admittedly I didn't rate him until recently but he has great ability

I've never understood why he doesn't get more time on the pitch. I've always rated him.

Interesting that Kraigg Brathwaite was both Broad's and Jimmy Anderson's 500th victim.

Dale Steyn is on 439 at the moment, so my advice to Kraigg would be to avoid South Africa in a couple of years.

Steyn has retired

Broad takes his 500th test wicket as West Indies slump to 74-4. 

Far from my favourite player but a great achievement. 

Hopefully the weather plays ball and we can force a result today.

 

I find so much to dislike in Broad but 500 wickets is one hell of an achievement. Well done to him.

If goal-line technology always worked Villa would now be dumped back into the Championship.

Grrrrrrrr!!!

That view doesn't take account of the butterfly effect.

That’s two relegation places settled in my own personal fantasy premier league next season, Villa and Leeds. Who can the third be?

Leeds won’t be relegated

Bournemouth should be more aggrieved that they managed a grand total of 40 goals in 38 games and their top scorer got 9 goals.

So Villa stay up and Bournemouth don’t, all because of the goal that “goal line Technology” and “VAR”didn’t give against Sheffield United. 
This could get messy

No. It's because that's the way the table ended up after 38 games.

Deeney misses an absolute gaper

Watford might do this...

Seemingly every advert break contains an advert for a cure to erectile dysfunction or hair loss treatment.

They've certainly got the demographic pegged. ?

West indies are underdogs, but good enough to cause problems, and definitely were on top the first two sessions before the batsmen got on top of the bowling, should be an interesting morning tomorrow, getting at england's tail early on and it's very much all to play for, if Pope and Butler carry on, England could put themselves in a good place to win the game from, although I can't see a decisive 1st innings lead unless WI bat very badly. 

Unfortunately, the weather forecast is terrible for Saturday and Monday

Was listening to TMS on the long drive back up home and it's been a good day's cricket.

It has been.

In fact the whole series has been good. 2 teams having to work hard for an advantage, playing in the best spirit.

I love proper test cricket.

I wish David Lloyd was a football commentator. 

He annoys the hell out of me.

Though that's mostly in T20 games with singing and poo.

Well played, lads

I fear this is starting to drift a bit.

I find him dislikable in many ways.

 

It's a Nottinghamshire thing, isn't it?

4 down. Broad again. Brave but correct decision by the umpire. 

I really dislike the way Broad celebrates instead of appealing

24 minutes ago, sage said:

Then back to the usual ridiculous Briad reviews. Great start though.

To be fair, it was a better review than those 2 WI ones earlier, the first of which drew laughter from the commentators.

At least they needed to follow ball tracking all the way through.

Perfect delivery from Broad.

3 down.

England declare on 129-3
 

WI need 312 to win 
 

England need 10 wickets 

Now 9 wickets

And another timewasting review

Nice review for LBW by the West Indies. Pitching about a yard outside leg stump.

Could this season have gone much worse as a Derby fan? Everything that’s happened on and off the pitch, now compounded by potentially having to give Leeds a guard of honour at our own ground, and Forest looking to have a real chance at winning the playoffs as well. All while we’re left for yet another year in this bank division. Genuinely painful at the moment. Fair play to Leeds though, Bielsa is a fantastic manager. They did very well appointing him.

You must be young.

I could imagine many ways this season could have been worse. Largely based on the experience of previous seasons.
