They’re even lower than us on that.

The Trump before Trump (Bannon) conceded the Hungarian election. Huge setback for Trump and Vance’s hard right populism movement considering how much they invested in trying to keep him in power. Huge blow for Putin as Orbán was buying large quantities of Russian gas to help fund his Ukrainian war. Leaves Slovakia all on their own aligned to Putin and harder to hold up joint action against Russia.

Romero substituted with a face like a smacked arse. The non penalty was weird first half, Spurs forward Tolo was appealing for a corner and the ref was the only person in the stadium to spot a foul. VAR for once chalked off the clear and obvious blooper.

Sunderland leading Spurs through a deflected goal.

Nearing 300 lead but with the forecast need to up the scoring and get them in.

Gateway was a crap supermarket tbf.

This is pure Hitler/Stalin/totalitarian dictator architecture https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwywre1e3kvo

Didn’t realise Guido Carrillo was back in town. Kind of him to give you a lift.

Steve Bannon refers to him as Trump before Trump. He’s a prototype of far right populism in Europe which had spread further https://edition.cnn.com/2026/04/09/europe/orban-hungary-election-trump-ally-intl Orban’s rule is also a disturbing preview of what a Reform government would be like under Farage, Braverman and Tice.

Yorks finished 48-4, Wharton went for another 🦆 Baker ripping through their top order with 3-16. Abbott got the ball rolling bowling Finlay Bean for 1. Yusuf yet to make a breakthrough but good economy and ditto Jack with his 5 overs. Their batting is also shallow without Bairstow so need to press home an advantage first hour tomorrow. George Hill, who took a 5-for earlier at 7 and Bess as high as 8. Bit of rain of early morning but should be clear enough for a 10.30 start and forecast set fair, if not that warm, for the rest of the game.

Night watchman Coad 0, 37-3.

Whiteman out for 14, 37-2.

Bean baked by Abbott for 1. See if we can get one or maybe even two more tonight.

He reminds me of the goby kid at Wednesday afternoon snooker who got whitewashed 3-0 at Pot Black every week and always said ‘I’ll be back next week with my graphite cue and I’ll thrash you’. Next Wednesday, no graphite cue and the same outcome.

Need early wickets tonight, at least a couple. Hard to tell if 251 is competitive until both have batted on it, but bar Lehmann, lots of starts and few finishes. Agree @Window Cleaner that Weatherley is crap. Waste of a spot and means Yusuf was coming in as high as 7. Brown is far from undroppable at the moment. Not seeing his influence on the side either so he needs runs and catches. Opening bowlers need to be fuller at Headingley - good economy but not getting their openers forward enough. You might get driven a couple of times but worth it to get a wicket.
