Hello and welcome to beautiful, brazen May. So much to see this round. Ali is at New Road, where Steve Smith will be trying his hand at county cricket and absolutely not preparing for the Ashes in any way.

I am at Headingley to watch Jonny Bairstow take to the field for the first time for Yorkshire since his horror golfing accident that left him with a broken leg and dislocated ankle. He’s quite keen to be back:

I cannot tell you how it was,
But this I know: it came to pass
Upon a bright and sunny day
When May was young; ah, pleasant May!
As yet the poppies were not born
Between the blades of tender corn;
The last egg had not hatched as yet,
Nor any bird foregone its mate.

I cannot tell you what it was,
But this I know: it did but pass.
It passed away with sunny May,
Like all sweet things it passed away,
And left me old, and cold, and gray.

Jonny played one game for Yorkshire seconds as part of his comeback, biffing 97 off just 88 balls against Notts seconds – though he should have been caught off a similarly rehabbing Olly Stone on 21. Stone got his man in the end as YJB tried to reach his hundred with a six.

Before the injury, he had in a ridiculous glut of form for England – making four Test hundreds in five innings: 136 (v NZ), 162 (v NZ), 106 (v India), 114 (v India).

We’ve spotted YJB, in a wooly hat, and anorak. He’s lying on the grass, stretching.
