This pretty much sums up the mood in the UK about the #SecondLockdown for #COVID__19

England's first half performance is comparable to that of a cheese grater - sharp at the front but porous at the back

@markboleat Good luck Mark!

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

@StuartElleray what do you think?

The @BBC's 'Titanic Sinks Tonight' documentary is excellent - one of the best I have seen. Great job!

Bazball is the de Havilland Comet of Cricket - flies really well for a while before fundamental flaws result in catastrophic failure. Better start planning for the next Ashes series as there is no coming back from 2-0 down.

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

I never got a refund for the 02:30 am starts in the first test, and vowed "never again" after a loss was achieved from a winning position. I have stuck to my word and woken up a full hour later. England to bat first - what could go wrong? #BBCCricket

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

Can we have a sixth Ashes test if each one only lasts 2-3 days?! #bbccricket

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

This now feels like a one day international - it could be all over today. A lead of 170-180 feels a long way away for England but might be enough #bbccricket

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

Pope looks like a different player in this series so far: calm and compact. Could Bethell open if Crawley continues to struggle? #bbccricket

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

I would not want to be in the vicinity of Geoffrey Boycott at the moment given England's batting today #bbccricket

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

At this rate, Australia will be batting shortly after Tea. Highly entertaining mayhem on Day 1 #bbccricket

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

39-3 in 9 overs. To Bazball, or Bazbail and go back to bed, that is the question. #bbccricket

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

0-1 in the first over...I might need to ask for a refund for the 0220 am start #bbccricket

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

England batting first on day one of the first test in the Ashes. What could possibly go wrong? #bbccricket

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

Amazing result! That's how you do a penalty shoot out!

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

England's bowling attack looks like it is recovering from a visit to an over zealous dentist - toothless #bbccricket

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

@PLtheLegend There is a lot at 'steak' in this year's world championship!

[Chris Etheridge @chrisjetheridge]

@Artemisapphire Bovington and Tiger 131?! Love it there!

@Artemisapphire My car is 20, and my parents have one which is 38. Your car is a young nipper...
