The Buzz

At ESPNcricinfo we're all about investigative journalism so we sent our best minds to suss out what's on the menu in the media box. And frankly, it's a wonder any cricket gets played or any work gets done at all if the meals look like this.

Jacob Bethell's the coolest among this set from the Hundred, according to us. Almost leaning casually and using his elbow to keep the lift door open - class!

This was the reception Joe Root received in the Long Room as he walked out to bat in the second innings on day four - warm, but polite, applause, you could call it.

So, first, up, a style check. Who wore it best? Ravi Shastri, Stuart Broad or Dinesh Karthik?

It was the Adelaide Ashes Test in 2013-14. England were 117 for 6 in response to Australia's 570 when Broad walked out to bat. "So I got out to the middle," Broad recalled. "Mitchell Johnson's obviously bowling pretty quick. And beautiful blue sky at Adelaide. Belting sunshine and the sun was reflecting something off the sight screen directly at me. In fairness, Brad Haddin, the wicketkeeper, came up to the stumps and said, 'I can see that too brightly where I'm wicketkeeping. Can we get something put over the sight screen in that corner?'

"But they had to go get ladders and all sorts. I do remember thinking: this is taking too long. And then I overthought the trigger. I overthought what he [Johnson] was going to bowl to me. I told myself 5000 times he's going to bounce me. And he didn't. It was full. Hit my stumps and I went."

He started the day by unveiling his portrait, painted by British artist Stuart Pearson Wright, at the MCC Museum at Lord's. "I first visited Lord's as a teenager in 1988, and returned in 1989 with the Star Cricket Club team," he posted on social media. "I remember standing near the pavilion, soaking in the history and dreaming quietly.

"Today, to have my portrait unveiled at this very place is a feeling that's hard to put into words. Life has truly come full circle. I'm grateful, and filled with wonderful memories."

"Just the few people I've met so far have been awesome," Cummins said ahead of the second Test in St George's in Grenada. "The chef this morning making my omlette was telling me how he's cooked fish for Punter [Ricky Ponting] and Haydos [Matthew Hayden] in the 2007 World Cup. That obviously went well.
