Morning Update

Good morning! It’s bright and sunny for this seventh Championship round of the season. Major changes are happening at Old Trafford: following Lancashire’s disappointing loss to Northants, Keaton Jennings has stepped down as captain. Marcus Harris has taken the reins, and guess what? Jimmy Anderson is back! I’m heading to Old Trafford to check things out. Play begins at 11 a.m., and it should be an interesting day.
