Cricketing trends in Twitter today saw the likes of Chris Woakes and Brendan Taylor reflect on the day’s action in the second Test match between England and Bangladesh at Dhaka. While Woakes had a first-hand view of what was going on, Brendan Taylor relied on the impressive television coverage.

The Indians geared up for their second ODI with Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane getting a feel of the Vizag venue. Scott Styris, on the other hand, treated Simon Doull to a round of golf before taking up their places in the commentary box.

Damien Fleming met with the other commentators on the day for the upcoming edition of the Big Bash League. That said, here are some of the best tweets in today’s edition of Cricketing trends on Twitter today.
