Breaking news from BBC....

Ireland and Afghanistan have been granted Test status by the International Cricket Council.

It increases the number of countries competing at the top level of international cricket to 12.

They are the first admissions since Bangladesh gained Test status in 2000.

Interesting stat from England Lions v SA "A" match ....

Dan Lawrence only bowled one over in the SA 1st innings and took a wicket (the last one).
Dan Lawrence only bowled one over in the SA 2nd innings and took a wicket (the last one)
