Welcome to The Spin, the Guardian’s weekly (and free) cricket newsletter. Here’s an extract from this week’s edition. To receive the full version every Wednesday, just pop your email in below.
You stand at the top of your mark. Breathe in. Breathe out. Here you go again. You are at your favoured Pavilion End. This is your 26th time playing a Test at Lord’s. A little while ago you didn’t really know if you’d get to play another, here or anywhere else, again. You don’t think about that. You don’t think about the first time, a first over in Test cricket where you felt numb, an over that went for 17 runs largely because there was no fine leg – thanks, Nasser. You don’t think about the first wicket (Mark Vermeulen) or the last (Marcus Harris), or the other 638.
