Sports stars and clubs across the world continue to provide an insight into their lives on social media.
Here, the PA news agency looks at some of the best examples from February 14.
Cricket
There was plenty of discussion over the second Test pitch in Chennai – and England's approach with the bat.
It's entertaining cricket as things are happening all the time but let's be honest this Pitch is a shocker .. Not making any excuses as India have been better but this isn't a Test Match 5 day prepared Pitch ... #INDvENG — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) February 14, 2021 When batsman sweep, most of the time it means they have no other option as scared to use feet. The odd innings it works, but not consistently over a long time. Playing spin u have to use the crease, your feet, plus punish the loose ball-that's how you put pressure on the spinner https://t.co/6b6osYKxWx

The toss was more important to win in the 1st test than this one, as it did nothing the 1st 2 days. Then exploded. This one has been a turner from ball one. Eng should've bowled India out for 220. No different between spinning or seaming & Rohit showed how to play on this surface https://t.co/xg1gPDetRs — Shane Warne (@ShaneWarne) February 14, 2021 I'm all for a good contest between bat and ball in test match cricket but this pitch in Chennai is unacceptable at test match level. You can't have the ball going through the top of the surface on day 1 from the main part of the pitch. Ie not from the footmarks. — Mark Waugh (@juniorwaugh349) February 14, 2021 I have no problem at all with a pitch offering this much spin (hardly a surprise naturally). We prepare green pitches to suit our bowlers at home when deemed necessary so it's fair game. We should be taking notes on how to excel from @ImRo45 @RishabhPant17 and @ashwinravi99

Kevin Pietersen emphasised the importance of the toss.
Such a brave wicket to prepare for a Test match IN India when India are down in the series. If India had lost the toss, they'd have gone down 2-0. Very very brave! Well tossed, @imVkohli 🤣 — Kevin Pietersen🦏 (@KP24) February 14, 2021
The India Prime Minister was an interested onlooker.

Valentine's Day love for Ian Bell's cover drive.
Sadly, as I've learned to my cost, this doesn't fly as a present in the Bell household. https://t.co/6lFB9bU8Zm — Ian Bell (@Ian_Bell) February 14, 2021
And from Stuart Broad.
History-making day for West Indies' spinners – especially Rahkeem Cornwall.
Here's an interesting one...🗞 The last time West Indies spinners took ALL 1️⃣0️⃣ wickets in an innings was back in 1956! This has turned out to be one historic series! 🌴🏏 pic.twitter.com/DTwUD3IWOu — Windies Cricket (@windiescricket) February 14, 2021 Man of the Hour! 🥇 For his 9️⃣ wickets and crucial catches in the field, Cornwall walks away with the Man of the Match award! 🏆 #MenInMaroon pic.twitter.com/JHxMlnAtYS — Windies Cricket (@windiescricket) February 14, 2021
