Village cricket, back in business

The first Test Match between England and the West Indies wasn't the only form of cricket to return last week. Men's and women's recreational cricket also resumed here in England last Saturday after being given the green light by Prime Minister Boris Johnson. He'd earlier suggested teas and dressing rooms would be a major obstacle between the grassroots game returning amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Our reporter Simon Parker has been to one village cricket match to see recreational cricket's return first hand.
