With England apparently well on course for victory at Trent Bridge, the most interesting development was the announcement of the Twenty20 Champions League.
This, you will recall, appeared to be merely a pipe dream when its concept was first announced, as well as a handy tool for the Indian Board to apply pressure on the Indian Cricket League (ICL).
Basically, the two finalists from the domestic Twenty20 competitions in England, Australia, South Africa and India will all meet for a 10-day tournament in the autumn with the winner picking up $5m.
That's the straightforward bit - but there are many questions that need answering.
