  • Just done a short interview with @BBCr4today on the UK labour market and inflation. It was just after 8.30am so you listen on BBC Sounds catch-up: Link

  • Despite fears that the UK unemployment rate would hit 7pc or higher due to the pandemic, it is now below 5pc & set to fall further with a record number of job vacancies (953,000). With wages also surging, the MPC should be reducing stimulus, not increasing it with more #QE.

  • A bad day at the office for the England cricket Test team: England v India: Tourists win thrilling second Test in final hour at Lord's Link

    Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah - two genuine tailenders - shared a ninth-wicket stand of 89 in front of some raucous Indian support.

    Shami had reached 56 not out and Bumrah an unbeaten 34 when India declared on 298-8, setting England an unlikely 272 to win or 60 overs to survive.

    They instantly found themselves 1-2 after openers Rory Burns and Dom Sibley fell for ducks, and hope faded when Jonny Bairstow then, crucially, captain Joe Root were dismissed in the space of four balls separated by tea.

    Jos Buttler, who faced 96 deliveries for 25, chewed up 16 overs with Moeen Ali and 12 with Ollie Robinson, either side of Sam Curran completing a king pair.

    However, Robinson and Buttler fell in successive overs, before Mohammed Siraj bowled last man James Anderson to end with 4-32 and put a rampant India 1-0 up with three Tests to play.

  • Root is out. Now down to Buttler, Moeen Ali and Curran to save the Test Match for England. Possible, but improbable! #ENGvsIND

  • TV images show the #Taliban leadership proclaiming their victory in Afghanistan. They look like a bunch of thugs with a number of them holding machine guns. Does not bode well for the Afghan people.

  • Normally, England have 30 or 40 on the scoreboard when Joe Root comes in. Now he is at the crease with 2 runs scored. Even with Super-Joe at the crease, an Indian victory seems on the cards. #ENGvsIND

  • @bbcnickrobinson @ashrafghani @KarzaiH Are you surprised? President Ghani would probably be imprisoned and executed by the Taliban - who have a reputation as ruthless killers. We are not dealing with a seamless transition between parties in a Western democracy here.

  • It is so predictable - Joe Root, on 150+ watches a collapse at the other end of the pitch. Can we find some other batsmen who can support Root, who is the mainstay of the English batting line-up? #ENGvIND

  • Once again @root66 has rescued England in ENGvIND test match scoring the bulk of the runs. Where would we be without him?
