Fantastic win for @GlamCricket in @VitalityBlast - great atmosphere and plenty of family fun. Thanks to the players for spending so much time signing autographs at the end 👍👊🏏

"Perfection is impossible.
In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches.
But what percentage of points did I win?
54%
In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play.
When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.
You teach yourself to think:
'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.'
'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.'
Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point.
Here's why I'm telling you this.
When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.
But when it's behind you, it's behind you.
This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus."

Global warming is advancing at its fastest since modern records began 174 years ago, according to a leading team of climate scientists inc @piersforster. They also found the carbon budget for 1.5C will be blown in around 5 years if emissions stay at current record level

- climate change is largely absent from this general election so far
- and yet the UK had its warmest May and meteorological spring on record according to provisional Met Office figures published today
Amazing to watch one of the best batters get a goldie, playing first ball with front foot awol. @ThatsSoVillage. Well bowled Tyrone Mills. Hard lines Marney. There is hope for us all.

An incredible story:
When the latest batch of solar plants come on line, Texas will have added more solar capacity per capita in a single year than any US state and any country in the world.
“economics can turn even the biggest climate change sceptic into a clean energy evangelist.”
