What’s happening in the other matches? Kane Williamson made another Test ton, the 23rd for a man who gets to play less Test cricket than his celebrated peers in the world’s premier quartet, and NZ made 431. Pakistan will resume this morning with a nightwatchman in place at 39 for 1. Across the other side of the world, Sri Lanka batted well for 396, but South Africa will be closing on it when they resume much later today Australian time, at 317 for 4.
The old communication game. Just think, back when the Manchester Guardian first started, the OBO had to be engraved by hand and posted up on the bulletin board outside the office. And then if you wanted to contribute a note of good cheer or a reprimand for a typo, you had to go home, write a letter with pen and ink, and dispatch it by horseback with one of your best riders to hurry it to town for inclusion.
These days you can just use electronic mail, as they’re calling it, or the invention of the tweeterphone. My correspondence markers are in the sidebar. Have at it.
