England India Daily, 4th Test, Old Trafford Review: The reactions to the final hour of play at Old Trafford have been plentiful and wild. We take a deep dive into what this means for the upcoming fifth Test on Thursday. Firstly, who shook whose hand and when? What could have been done differently to end yesterday’s game? And who will England choose in their bowling lineup? Josh Tongue, Gus Atkinson, and now Jamie Overton wait in the wings. For India, Rishabh Pant is out, and Dhruv Jurel comes in;

England India Daily, 4th Test, Old Trafford Day 5: How did India turn this around? After losing two wickets in the opening over, only two more were lost across five sessions and 143 overs.

And will the bitter ending, as Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar crawled towards centuries, add spice to the decider? Daniel Norcross joins BenJones from Manchester.

Can they keep India’s series hopes alive tomorrow? Ben Stokes scored a typically pugilistic century, but at what cost to his fitness? Will he be able to bowl tomorrow?

England India Daily, 4th Test, Old Trafford Day 3: Joe Root moved into second spot on the list of all-time Test run-makers on a day where India’s bowlers toiled. What has changed in England’s batting mindset this series? And how do you explain the diminishing returns of Jasprit Bumrah against the top-order? The day belongs to Root, with his 150 taking him past Jacques Kallis and Ricky Ponting. Can he do the impossible and overtake Sachin Tendulkar? Daniel Norcross and Ben Jones are your hosts from

England India Daily, 4th Test, Old Trafford Day 2: Zak Crawley continued his love of the Old Trafford pitch as he and Ben Duckett set up a potential first innings lead for England, but can they arrest their aversion to centuries? India’s bowlers shook off a sleepy start to finish the day strongly, however, and Jasprit Bumrah (who else) caused trouble as stumps drew near. It was the worst possible news for Rishabh Pant, who confirmed a series-ending foot fracture, but even that won’t stop him from

England India Daily, 4th Test, Old Trafford Day 1: A return to the more familiar slate skies of cricket in England, but will India’s mood be made greyer by the foot injury to their talisman Rishabh Pant? A hard-fought day, but who ended up on top? It was a rewarding one for Sai Sudharshan and Liam Dawson, and tomorrow shapes as pivotal with Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur facing the new ball.

2025/07/22

England India Daily, 4th Test, Old Trafford Preview: How is the better team down 2-1 in this series? This Test is massive, and India has reinforced the point by selecting Jasprit Bumrah for the third time this series. We mythbust the Old Trafford pitch and wonder if that means India revert to Ravindra Jadeja as the sole spinner. And what about the weather forecast? It’s all set up not only for an intriguing, barnburner of a Test, but a tetchy series has a lot of potential to boil over in the next

TFW Book Club - Max Bonnell on the 1964 Ashes

The Final Word Cricket Podcast ·

2025/07/21

As Max Bonnell details early on in his new book Brick by Brick, the Australian Cricketers in England 1964, the Ashes series of that summer gets a pretty bad rap. To an extent, that’s understandable given only one of the five Tests had a winner and one of the draws, the Old Trafford batathon, is seen as an emblem of where much of that decade was less than captivating. But off the field, it was transformative. Specifically that summer, with Beatlemania at its peak and the election of an ambitious

England India Daily, 3rd Test, Lord’s Review: It was a hot one at Lord’s, with the old-fashioned ebb and flow Test match returning. After what was essentially a two-day shootout, the result was a new record for Lord’s. Jofra Archer also broke records, but what is his career trajectory? As forlongevity, will Ben Stokes’ herculean efforts come back to haunt him? For India, will Ravindra Jadeja regret not pushing for more runs throughout his lengthy stay?

West Indies Australia Daily, 3rd Test, Kingston Day 3: It's hard to put this one into words. Not often that you witness an utter sporting annhiliation, but today West Indies honestly hit the lowest ebb in a century-long and deeply proud cricket history. They're in the 27 Club, and they might not be coming back. On the other hand, we saw a hat-trick!

England India Daily, 3rd Test, Lord’s Day 5: India couldn’t have given it much more after looking gone in the first hour of morning five, dragging their chase into the depths of the final session. The gripping finish was made possible by Ravindra Jadeja, who else, with able support from the tail. But in the end, the final twist came courtesy of the man with a broken finger who looked the least likely, Shoaib Bashir. A day that won’t be forgotten in a hurry, join Cameron Ponsonby and Ben

West Indies Australia Daily, 3rd Test, Kingston Day 2: We've seen it before, then it happened again. Australia reached the evening session having to bat, and the wickets tumbled under a barrage of fast bowling, while Jamaica's crowd howled from the stands. The only problem for West Indies is that they had already been bowled out themselves. On it goes.

England India Daily, 3rd Test, Lord’s Day 4: We are on, people, we are *on*. With scores level, England weren't sure how to proceed, veering between attack and defence before a stunning burst from Bumrah and Washington wrapped up their innings. But with the game looking like India's, wickets continued to fall. We're set for a grandstand finish on Day 5.

We thought the day-night match might be full of action, but even then, this was a lot. West Indies produced some moments of brilliance in the field and with the ball, but the Australian plan might yet work out.

Ben Stokes is a big part of it. Jofra bowled his fastest spell on record, but for what reward?
