Andrew Strauss has stepped down as England captain and announced his retirement from professional cricket. During his career he scored over 7,000 runs in 100 test matches. He made 21 centuries and took a record 121 test catches.

Lesley has more.

Lesley has been catching up with another Suffolk person involved in the Paralympic opening ceremony.

Dan took five minutes out of his busy schedule to tell Lesley more about his part in the ceremony.
