Oval, 29/7: The fifth day of the final Ashes Test on Saturday began with a humane touch to it as England cricketers wore jerseys with the wrong names printed on them, supporting people affected by dementia.
Veteran pacer James Anderson wore a jersey carrying the name of Stuart Broad, Jonny Bairstow wore one with the name of Ben Stokes on it and Moeen Ali donned the flannel with the name of Chris Woakes, and so on.
The move was symbolic of the confusion often experienced by people suffering from dementia, the disease that causes loss of memory.
