So it's Sunday........................

........................and I, Lady Lainey am trying to work out what happened yesterday as it was all going on!
Firstly Lord Christophe  was out of bed before 9am yesterday.

So firstly Lord Christophe had a great birthday and loved all his presents and then there was cricket action at Lords.

So Top Tykes Root and Bresnan took to the field and started 'The Great Yorkshire show'. Batting well both of them put on runs and frustrated the Australians. However sadly Bresnan fell after a shared partnership of 99.
Bell took the field and Root steadily edged towards his first century at Lords and when he did the crowd went wild.At 22years 202 days Root became the youngest centurion in an ashes test at Lords. A wonderful moment was when his brother Billy came to give him a drink and a change of gloves and the brothers hugged each other. I can tell you I had goose pimples and tears in my eyes. A wonderful moment between siblings and viewed by the whole cricket loving world.

Joe batted on during the day a did Bell who fell to a shot that he hoped would add 6 to his score, but instead saw him walking back to the pavilion. At the close of play Root was on 178 not out. He received a standing ovation as he entered the long room and very well deserved it was too.

Root smiled his way through his innings and when interviewed and asked why he smiled so much, his reply was along the lines of, why be nervous I have dreamt about this since I was a little boy and am now savouring every moment. WOW what an attitude!
Other news from  the dressing room is that KP the greatest chance that England has is now crocked! Yes a calf injury means that he will miss the rest of this test and some people are worrying that he will miss the third test. I know one person who is wondering why he was included at all!.

Will it all be over by tea today? Well we will have to see if the Australians have a rabbit to pull out of the bag.

Yorkshire were able to clear up their match at Derbyshire and head home after a great win by 113 runs. His Royal Ryanness taking a handful of wickets to seal the match.The county came away with 24pts which took them back to the top of the table. #gettingexciting.


BABY WATCH...

...is now in full madness, as the papers are producing 'Royal Baby' booklets and the photographers outside St Mary's Paddington have been topping up their tans whilst waiting for the arrival. Will it be today????


Which is what I keep saying about the landscaper, will it be today that he comes to transform the extensive grounds of Tykes Towers? well only 20 minutes to find out!
