    Warne raised a little over a million dollars by actioning his baggy green . There is a good reason why it doesn't look that old, david. He hardly wore it as he preferred the white floppy hat..

    Shane Warne has had an interesting history with the baggy green, but the legendary legspinner still says it means “everything to him” after fetching more than a $1 million at auction.
    The Australian cricket legend’s famous cap sold for an extraordinary $1,007,500 on Friday to raise money for bushfire relief.
    Warne preferred wearing a white floppy hat while out in the field during his illustrious 145-Test career.

    He once even refused to don the baggy green at Wimbledon when Steve Waugh insisted all players wear it to a match during the 2001 Ashes.
    “I looked at Mark Waugh and he said ‘I’m not wearing it’ and I said ‘I’m not wearing it either’,” Warne revealed in 2018 of the incident.
    But Australia’s all-time leading Test wicket-taker says not wearing it as much as some players should not be interpreted as not loving it.
    “I cherish the Baggy Green and love what it stands for,” Warne said. “I was not a big wearer of the baggy green ... but that doesn’t mean it didn’t mean everything to me.
    “Playing for Australia was something unbelievable. I carried it around for 17 or 18 years in my bag.

    In 20 minutes.

    England won the toss and will bat.

    Root suggested that batting last could be tricky as the wicket is dry.

    This looks like a road.

    Far more important to look at the wickets rather than the duration of tests.

    Pope is up for the challenge and has dispensed with gravity.

    England pass 400 for the first time since 2017, currently 489/8 with pinch hitter fast bowler Mark Wood on 35 off 19

    Make that 41 off 20 with 5 sixes, Buttler eat your heart out

    Pope finishes on 135 NO, but is now officially gay. WTF is it with poofy hair bands like that crab walking cheat from Oz?

    I see Rabada got a demerit point for his overzealous celebration of Root's wicket, and now misses the last test.

    Nice to see a good total from England. Mark Wood certainly had fun swinging the bat....

    Well done Pope...just leave the helmet on please.

    Yeah Broad’s getting in-swing now too.

    England showing that even without Jimmy they have the more resourceful bowling attack.

    I do hope they enforce the follow on if given the opportunity.

    Making hard work of polishing them off, but skittle them out in the morning and bowl them out at your leisure lads.

    With Bess doing so well maybe England will enforce the follow on if it's possible.

    The usual argument about the quicker bowlers being too knackered will be less of a factor.

    I read this morning that Bess spent some time fairly recently in Sri Lanka under the tutelege of Rangana Herath.

    It's been some performance from a player not originally even in the touring party.

    Well that didn't last long, 4 wickets in 26 minutes and 1 run added. 3 to Broad in that too.

    Eng have enforced the follow on, not seen them do that in a looooong time. What a great Sunday.
