@38_0app Love the game, but any chance of explaining how Juninho is a 75…?!

@MWaldfrieden @FootRankings @Ennitseoh Mjällby will enter as an unseeded team in QR2

@pythaginboots Hard to understand how that can be given and then overturned when there is definitely contact. Soft, no doubt, but difficult to describe that as “clear and obvious error”.

@every_station From my experience of going to my parents’ in Cleethorpes, first-class counts for a fair bit to give you an individual seat when the rest of the train is jam-packed in South Yorkshire. The advance cost has been pretty low in my experience too.

@IainCundy @NickFriend1 Well it sounds like Thain will be allowed to bag for Essex having replaced Westley (but won’t be allowed to bowl), so it appears that a 12th batter will be allowed to count.

@NoThirdMan @dafrankland All that will do is stop schools from filling in the application form for the Cricketer advert in June.

@Dan01222 @englandcricket We could have been eight wickets down and still well ahead on DLS after 15 overs: by this stage of the chase, with so few overs left, DLS almost stops caring about wickets.

[Neil Pickup @npickup]

@Dan01222 @englandcricket The scoreboards update to show the par score at the end of the NEXT over so teams can adjust / plan tactics.

Par after 15 overs = 114.

England could have blocked out the 16th over and still been ahead on DLS.

@jonboy_avfc @englandcricket @TheBarmyArmy The scoreboards update to show the par score at the end of the NEXT over so teams can adjust / plan tactics.

Par after 15 overs = 114.

[Neil Pickup @npickup]

@Ayushxa @AzzurriLFC That’s what the par score would be at the end of the 16th over. They show that on the boards so teams can plan an over ahead. I think par after 15 overs = 114.

[Neil Pickup @npickup]

@JoshuaB05750397 @DanielCooke5 Yes. The scoreboards update to show the par score at the end of the next over so teams can adjust / plan tactics. Par after 15 overs = 114.

@NickFriend1 Do you think there’s England caps under the current regime or have they decided against him? Surely he is a better all-format answer than Will Jacks?

[Neil Pickup @npickup]

@tickerscricket Nobody picked Brydon Carse, did they??

[Neil Pickup @npickup]

@GabSutton @exetercity1904 It is remarkable how similar this whole FA Cup weekend has felt. Right down to screaming at the TV when the number came out the hat.

It was 23v64 then (still seared on my memory) and 22v61 today.

Let’s hope for another epic day out, and who knows, another replay…?

@retrofootballnw Lee Elam. Scored a hat-trick v Weymouth - his former club - on debut for Exeter.

He remained a fairly regular part of a side that lost at Wembley that summer before finally earning a league return a year later, but never quite matched that fairytale beginning.

@faustocoppi60 Well, 11 minutes is only 0.25% of 76 hours, so from a strictly mathematical perspective…

DEVON IS RED 🔴

@ammattipyoraily Parc National starts at Argelès-Gazost so miles down the mountainside. There’s an additional “zone cœur” that starts about 200m further up in altitude past the ski station, the same zone that includes the cirque itself.

[Neil Pickup @npickup]

@DanKingdom96 All incredibly sensible, realistic and balanced.

Completely out of place on Twitter, then…
