The email we’ve been waiting for! “Hello Tanya ,” Timothy Sanders, hello! “Jon (25th over) is right. A fridge warns the air around it, as does an air-conditioned building. Furthermore, both need to use energy to achieve that, by pumping a refrigerant through a compressor. The First Law Of Thermodynamics says that heat doesn’t naturally pass from a cool thing to a hot thing, and the technology can only achieve that by using energy. I hope these cricketers are keeping well as playing well.”
Thank you Tim.
The player of the match is... Tammy Beaumont! Her ninth ODI century, thanks very much.
The player of the series is...Emma Lamb! “Feels like a dream,” she says.
Right that’s it from me - the telly is being switched over to Love Island, while I must unstick myself from the sofa cushions. Thanks for all the messages, see you Thursday!
And as John Starbuck sends some useful advice for tomorrow...
“An addition to the keeping cool advice: bathe your wrists in running cold water every now and then, so your blood will deliver cool to the rest of your body . Cannot think why all those advice articles didn’t include this, as it isn’t an old wives tale, but really works.”
...that’s a full-throttle thrashing in the heat by England, 3-0 in the ODI series, which means South Africa can’t beat them whatever the result of the three T20s - after the teams shared the Test match.
A superb century by Tammy Beaumont after South Africa inexplicably chose to field first, well supported by Heather Knight and Emma Lamb - and then some clever bowling by Charlie Dean and Lamb - who picked up three wickets each, as did Davidson-Richards.
