#OnTheUp: Who's losing track of time?
Starting with Jimmy Neesham, he surely seems to have lost track of time, doesn't he?
I only have one question: What is a clock

Looks like Liam Plunkett is in a mood to binge-watch a TV show.
Meanwhile, Smriti Mandhana used the downtime to take questions in from her fans on Twitter. But her good friend on the Indian team, Jemimah Rodrigues, took one of her answers personally.

Her teammate Shikha Pandey took a walk down the memory lane.
Going back to reading a book that my father bought for me when I was 10. The school summer vacations had just begun and this was one of the many books my father got for my sister and me. My absolute favourite to this day! #booksaremagic #memories pic.twitter.com/0nRUP4KK0I

Staying positive is vital in these difficult times and Middlesex's Olivia Rae took it upon herself to find something to smile about. The Home of Cricket made it to the list.
A friend set me the task of taking photos of what happiness means to me! I managed to make a rainbow out of a street light and walked past @HomeOfCricket 🏏. It was a great way to add purpose and mindfulness to a walk! Maybe something others could try? 📷 #StaySafeStayHealthy pic.twitter.com/ZmZsrkD09e

Babar Azam got a heart-warming note from a five-year-old fan, and had the perfect response to the young "rockstar". Class on and off the field!
Hey Oscar, thank you so much for such a kind note. I am so proud of you buddy. You are a rockstar. Study hard & play even harder champ! Look forward to meet you. #RiseAndRise https://t.co/ZKEVVhwM3b

With players keen to do their bit for those on the frontline of the fight against the coronavirus, Jos Buttler led a slew of fund-raising efforts. Days after David Warner and Sam Billings shaved their head, and members of the England women's cricket team volunteered for the NHS, Buttler decided to auction a slice of history: the jersey he wore when England won the World Cup last year, autographed by the whole team.
I’m going to be auctioning my World Cup Final shirt to raise funds for the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals charity. Last week they launched an emergency appeal to provide life saving equipment to help those affected during the Covid-19 outbreak. Link to auction in my bio. pic.twitter.com/ODN9JY4pk1

In Pakistan, Shahid Afridi, through his foundation, was rallying his friends from around the world. Yuvraj Singh too lent his considerable weight to the cause, showing that a worthy gesture goes beyond on-field rivalries and borders.
