Is there anyone out there who can help me with a ­problem I have with cricket?

My trouble is with scoring as the match proceeds and at the end of play daily or at the final assessment.

For example, the England score may be given as: Morgan 37, Butler 28, Stokes 141, Willie 6, Root 54.

It is with this last score that my mind is thrown into ­confusion. How do you display 7.3484692… on the scoreboard?

Whenever such a score is a perfect square I can cope – ­otherwise, no!

My son-in-law tells me there will not be too many who will get the joke.
