Jofra Archer's first 実験（する） wicket 供給するd the catalyst as England's bowlers enjoyed a profitable third morning against Australia at Lord's but 強い雨 廃虚d their hopes of capitalising as the 残りの人，物 of the third day was washed out.

にわか雨s 軍隊d the teams off just before the lunch break with the tourists 80 for four in 返答 to the home 味方する's 258 and the 天候 辞退するd to relent, meaning the second Ashes 実験（する） has now lost five 十分な 開会／開廷／会期s and could already be meandering to a draw.

Archer buzz just like Freddie

There has been so much talk about Jofra Archer, not least about his pace. But he's got another 商品／必需品 which is 絶対 priceless: he has 即時に won the public over.?

Not once have I heard, 'he can't do this' or 'he can't do that'. It reminds me so much of Andrew Flintoff. Whenever he （機の）カム into the attack, there was a buzz around the ground. Archer has got that same buzz. Long may it continue.

I'm veggie for Vipers

I got a curry away on Thursday night up in Hampstead Village. Since I've gone pescatarian, on the 勧めるing of Vipers, I'm into the veggie 取り組む. Okra, Bombay potatoes, daal, 下落する aloo, mushroom pulao ― you 指名する it, I've eaten it.?

Are they cakes or 薄焼きパン／素焼陶器s? Usually it's （疑いを）晴らす 削減（する）: you've got your digestives, your Rich Teas, your Battenburgs and your lemon 霧雨s. No one could decide and things 脅すd to turn 汚い. It was like Brexit.?

But a 広報担当者 for the ECB settled the 事柄. 'If it was large,' he said, 'it would be a cake.'
