Super night at the Diamond League š Athletics in Rabat - topped off with a win for Halifaxās @MaxBurgin3 in the 800m (1:42:98).
There was one fool in the stand shouting YORKSHIRE, YORKSHIRE, YORKSHIRE! š
Strong runs also for Laura Muir and Matt Hudson Smith tonight!
Morocco sports tour turned to golf today, watching sporting icons from my childhood.
Colin Montgomery, Ernie Els, Miguel Angel Jiminez and Jose Maria Olazabal in action at the Hassan II Trophy in Rabat.
Nice to see legend Vijay Singh almost sink one from the fairway too!
My sports tour of Morocco continues with the WTA tennis womenās 250 tour event in Rabat.
Former Wimbledon finalist Vera Zvonareva has just been knocked out by 6th seed Petra Marcinko, a 20-year-old who hits a firm return!
Not the busiest sporting event Iāve been to!
Grassroots cricket in Morocco.
No grounds, no scoreboard, limited resources.
A quick Afghan opening bowler.
Perhaps thereās a poor manās BBC spin off required.

Cricket in Morocco š²š¦
The country might currently be banned by the ICC and without a cricket pitchā¦ but we got a game on this morning
I joined Sala Al Jadida Cricket Union and the Rakrak Salaoui Cricket Association in a game, played on a 3G football pitch.
Great fun! š
The Moroccan Cricket Union recently sent 3 new coaches to the UK to do their qualifications.
Aim is now to get kids playing in and out of schools, find two grounds and relaunch š in Morocco, which once hosted an international event.
Perhaps one for @EmergingCricket in future!
The match saw representation from @UKinMorocco and was watched by the Ambassador of Pakistan.
Lots of talent on show.
Hopefully facilities can get support needed over next few years to develop the game at top and at grassroots; the weather is perfect for it! āļø

Even with a move to Morocco, you canāt stop me finding Yorkshire sport.

First week of parenting my baby girl and my new favourite thing is considering each nappy change as either a DRS review š
Started from the get goā¦
āIāve checked for no ball, it was a fair deliveryā
I love a āThereās a clear blue line there, stick with your original decisionā
The Hundredās return seemed flat yesterday despite two decent games.
Thereās clearly a lack of quality overseas players.
I think it needs to be more extreme to survive. If itās going to say itās different to T20 cricket, it needs to be different - other than just 20 balls less.
Replacement X Factor players should be available, like the Big Bash trialled and IPL have. Create more razzmatazz.
On a side note, Iād add 2 franchises - move Northern Superchargers to Durham, include a new Leeds-based franchise and create a Bristol team for the south west.
āDonāt worry, Iāll be here every gameā the commentator says after cracking a terrible gag referencing Rihanna.
Super š
