There is a long genealogy, that is fair to say to this particular topic, which goes back more than a quarter century. Very personal to me. It starts with the insight, which is brought out in the exhibition, that we are celebrating and launching here, the life and death of an irish soldier.

Then the soothing strokes of moeen ali took hold. He changed the game. 84 runs as beautiful as they were valuable. When he went chris woakes remained. The england number nine pushing their lead beyond 300. When west indies solve one problem, and other prom ptly indies solve one problem, and other promptly appears. The west indies will be pleased they did not lose a wicket in that final session tonight. A bold declaration from the england captain, joe root. It was. Not what many people expected. He declared without letting James Anderson backed. Perhaps the first sign of him putting his stamp on the england captaincy, not something many people think that Alastair Cook would have done.
