As we can't enjoy Euro 2020 this summer, the England Football Team is building a squad of 23 incredible people, the Lionhearts, who have helped their communities during this pandemic. It was a huge honour for me to be invited to meet the captain of the nation's special new squad, Captain Sir Tom Moore, to thank him for his heroic fundraising efforts. Loved hearing his story and finding out how he's been handling all the attention. A very special man. #Lionhearts @England

Cricket

Sachin Tendulkar weighed into cricket's 'umpire's call' debate.

What % of the ball hits the stumps doesn't matter, if DRS shows us that the ball is hitting the stumps, it should be given out, regardless of the on-field call. That's the motive of using technology in Cricket. As we know technology isn't 100% right but neither are humans.#ENGvWI pic.twitter.com/8At80AtRs5
