Hockey coach, hockey fan, hockey player (well once a year) and apparently now hockey journalist - obviously my favourite sport is tennis...

@SkyNews we know labour have won, but can we have the constituency results ticker back now. Some of us want to know individual results. Your coverage has been great, please don't make me have to change channel

I know it's not fashionable to like his music, but fuck me @JamesBlunt can really sing! Hell of a set at Cornbury.

So @JofraArcher - that first wide? That was just so New Zealand would take the tie right? Superb sportsmanship there! ;)

Hubby @Carpohockey has finally admitted that he had doubts about the outcome after Plunkett's wicket. He already had our last bottle of holiday fizz chilling ready to celebrate the win #SkyEasterWatchalong

@RosieSBarker I rarely remember my dreams but that one always seems to stick around after waking. I'm the oppo of insomnia at the mo, I seem to be constantly exhausted and sleeping way more than usual. Otherwise we're good. Working from home - but then I already did anyway!

@RosieSBarker @LittleDeak Have to admit I've been having my 'go to' stress nightmare more often than usual recently... It involves all my teeth falling out/crumbling to pieces in my mouth. Waking from it always involves having to physically check that my teeth are still there and still firmly attached!

She met a 4 month old puppy on her walk today and played chase solidly for half an hour. I think he wore her out which is not something that happens often!

Back at the hockey... feeling a bit lost in some ways as it's the first game in over 10 years when I haven't had some sort of job to do!

[Nancy Carpenter @nancyb75]

Gorgeous walk with the Puppa and @Carpohockey today. 10.4 miles, 3 pubs and some stunning Oxfordshire countryside has left me foot sore and a little sunburned but I loved every minute of it

Stealth bombers are decidedly unstealthy at low altitude. Noisy bloody buggers!

I bet @jackleach1991 never thought he'd win plaudits for his batting again so soon. That was possibly the best 1 I have ever seen!

10 years ago, I was finally persuaded that cricket might be ok after listening to the Jimmy/Monty 10th wicket stand on the radio.
Today just blew me away though - Stokes was quite simply superb!

What an innings from start to finish. Smart smart play at the beginning too.

[Nancy Carpenter @nancyb75]

That awesome feeling when you took the dog for a 3 hour walk at 6am, so can legitimately laze on the sofa in front of the cricket all day (assuming it lasts that long)

A little rain doesn't stop @Carpohockey

Awesome thread!

[Nancy Carpenter @nancyb75]

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! What a finish, what a game!

[Nancy Carpenter @nancyb75]

Don't get me wrong, @Cornbury has had some awesome headliners (Bryan Adam's and Alanis Morrissette were both superb).
But I think my fave thing is going to see someone you don't know a lot about and being totally blown away! Just happened with @nahko_and_mftp - absolutely amazing

[Nancy Carpenter @nancyb75]

Just finished reading the outstanding "Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me' by @KateClanchy1
Cannot recommend this book highly enough. Thought provoking, moving and absolutely compelling.
Seriously - get a copy and read it!

@detroit97 @icecoldphotos I am an expert at going on Amszon to buy something, the ordering 2 other things and forgetting what I actually wanted...
