But the baby woke at 3.30am and by the time I put him down, I did think about sticking the telly on but decided against it. Mistake.
And while it is a great win - that is just the first battle. We've got weeks of it left! It must be mentally exhausting for the players, in particular in the current environment. It is such a pity that the test matches this summer was not free to air as I think they really missed a chance to build a new audience when it was the only show in town.
