Breaking records...

The Germans have been eliminated from the Human Rights World Cup, at the group stage, for the second tournament in a row. It was the Germans who coined the word that best describes the emotion that the football world is feeling: schadenfreude.

England, meanwhile, have broken one of cricket’s longest-standing records by scoring 500 runs on day one of the first test in Pakistan. Four batsmen got centuries - Crawley, Duckett, Pope and Brook - and, with only four wickets down, tomorrow might be equally fascinating. Alexa will wake me at 5am, so I can follow day two, under the duvet, with commentary from the Test Match Special team. At 9am I’ll have breakfast at a local pub, and watch the rest of the day’s play on the big screen. 

Licenced today: the Stiperstones, a national nature reserve in Shropshire…
