Having stopped off in Birmingham on my way from Southport to catch my niece in a dance recital, I head back to London on the M40 listening to Test Match Special on Radio 4.
Cricket isn't everyone's idea of an exciting and fascinating sport - especially not the Test match variety. But following the match as England held out for a draw was gripping radio - full of tension and beautifully commentated upon by the excellent TMS team.
I know it's weird that a sports match can last five days and end in a thrilling draw - but that's the beauty of cricket.
It may not be "the beautiful game" - but at times like this is comes pretty close.
