By the late 1980s and early 1990s, weight and fitness were increasingly discussed through the language of alarm, discipline and failure. Throughout the 1990s, Irish newspapers repeatedly returned to the image of the overweight child as evidence that something had gone wrong. Contemporary Irish fitness culture on Instagram and TikTok is the direct descendant of the aerobics era.

But the momentum changed in the final three balls of Ben Manenti’s spell. Having subdued England with his fast off-spinners, Manenti looked on furiously when Kalugamage’s misfield led to a four for Jacks, who then thrashed back-to-back sixes – the second off a full toss – and Italy wilted thereafter.

Jacks, having leaked 13 in the powerplay, was brought back for a second over. An attempt at a third leg-side six in the over was scooped up by Banton in the deep and while Curran dismissed Marcus Campopiano and Gian-Piero Meade with successive balls, Stewart made sure England could not slack off.

But before those two fixtures, Ancelotti was pictured enjoying some downtime at another Brazilian staple: Rio Carnival. Ancelotti's managerial style has endeared him to many wherever he has been and that appears to be the case once more during his appearance at Rio Carnival.

Another Asian spot, Koh Samui, proved to be full of bars offering drinks for prices close to London's. But, inexplicably, the only way of getting to Santa Monica (or, in fact, anywhere in LA) is by car. On Google, it says Santa Monica is a 30-minute drive away from Glendale, where I was staying with my family.
