Moeen Ali continued his self-imposed exile from Test cricket when he told England he did not want to be considered for the four-match series in South Africa starting on Boxing Day. Joe Root, and selectors Ed Smith and James Taylor, all spoke to Moeen last week but failed to persuade him to change his mind leaving England with Jack Leach and the uncapped Matt Parkinson as the spinners in a 17-man squad.

Let’s see what you think. On Thursday, thousands of young people will log on to computers and find out their A-level grades. We already know that pupils from state schools will receive proportionately fewer top grades than those in private schools.

And tests completed by the exams watchdog, Ofqual, show that when examiners re‑mark they are more generous than they are first time around. The presumption is they know the stakes are higher and are subconsciously more cautious. Hence, re-marking doesn’t just buy a second … [Read more...] about It’s time to confront A-level marking’s dirty little secret
