But with Bethell absent at the Indian Premier League, both Crawley and vice-captain Pope helped themselves to centuries as England piled on 498-3 at Trent Bridge.

the response to his tweet was "silly - it shouldn't have been"."I love the BBC. I've been there for nearly 30 years but people make mistakes, they recognise that and they addressed it and in the end, thankfully, we're all back to work," he said.The incident prompted a review of BBC social media guidelines. Last September, new rules were published for BBC flagship presenters, saying they should be allowed to express views on issues and policies, but stop short of political campaigning.

In February 2025, Lineker made headlines when he was among 500 other high-profile figures whoThe Indian Premier League currently has its impact player rule which allows teams to swap in one of four named substitutes during a match, while Australia's Big Bash had a similar X-Factor player rule between 2020 and 2022.

Those rules were all largely for tactical purposes, however, rather than injury, and were in T20 cricket not the longest format.Injury replacements should be permitted in Test cricket in the first innings of the game.

It is something that is so difficult to prove.
