West Indies Australia Daily, 1st Test, Barbados Day 2: The wickets kept falling, and the game kept galloping along, as Australia put the pressure on West Indies before West Indies returned the favour once again. Three Caribbean quicks, four Caribbean seamers, working in concert at the grand old ground in Bridgetown? Yes please, although it wasn't a fun day for the worked-over Sam Konstas. Anything could happen from here.Support the show with a Nerd Pledge

West Indies Australia Daily, 1st Test, Barbados Day 1: Does Shamar Joseph enjoy anything more than bowling against Australia? It's hard to see how. The excitement machine clicked into gear once more at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, before Jayden Seales had his part of the day. In the meantime, Travis Head entertained in his usual way, and Australia's bowlers got the contest boiling. We have a live one!Support the show with a Nerd Pledge

England India Daily, 1st Test, Headingley, Review: Daniel Norcross and Ben Jones assess a wild Test match in Leeds that was… actually quite predictable when you break it down day by day. Is this the end of batting first in England? Daniel seems to think so. Joe Root continues to be unnervingly nerveless in run chases. Looking to Edgbaston, how will the bowling lineups look? Will Akash Deep or Arshdeep Singh be called in to bolster the pace attack? Will we see Atkinson return for England or, whisper

England India Daily, 1st Test, Headingley Day 5: England do it! They pull off the 10th-highest chase in history. A lacklustre India provided only scant challenges, as an England batting lineup, turbo-charged by Ben Duckett, put India to the sword. What does this mean for India? A “Bumrah Test” is lost, and Guatam Gambhir is now 3 wins, 7 losses, 1 draw in tests. India are the first team in first class cricket history to lose a game having made five centuries. How did they muck this up? Cameron

West Indies Australia Daily, 1st Test, Barbados Day 0: A ground packed with history, a country that has produced more superstars than any in the region - it's a privilege to be at Kensington Oval. When the Frank Worrell Trophy series begins, it will be as Australia "reset" (in their words) for a new WTC cycle having lost the big one at Lord's, with the Windies trying to start afresh themselves under new skipper Roston Chase. Oh, speaking of captains - we have some news at the end about Pat Cummins'

England India Daily, 1st Test, Headingley Day 4: It is impossible not to talk about Rishabh Pant. Twin tons for a wicketkeeper? That has only happened once before, but let's make it twice. It's a bad day to be KL Rahul. On India went, back England came, and now, for the fourth night in a row, the match remains... poised.

England India Daily, 1st Test, Headingley Day 3: What was Harry Brook thinking? And before that, the same question applies to Jamie Smith. Also, how have England reached parity with only one ton compared to three? But here we are, dare we say evenly poised, after an inspired bowling change just before tea by Shubman Gill.

England India Daily, 1st Test, Headingley Day 2: Rishabh Pant made it three tons for India on Day 2 with a rollicking century. But with an Ollie Pope blinder, England fought back to limit the damage, then held their grip despite some Bumrah blows. They could be out of it tomorrow, but they’re still in it right now.

What’s England’s way back into the game? Ben Jones thinks there could be an opening. And for India, were the new superstars already here, and has Rishabh found his groove this early?

You may think we’re talking about him a lot lately, but ask the ICC camera crews that slavishly followed him around. Also this week, Virat Kohli chooses a very pointed moment to back Test cricket, the new cycle begins, there’s trouble with Tassie’s stadium, NZ’s most successful coach pulls the pin, and we finally have dates for the very imminent women’s

World Test Championship Final, Day 4: They bloody well did it. South Africa and winning finals - that hasn't been a pairing that has seen much airtime in international cricket. Things didn't look good this time around either. But after a remarkable final push, it is offical: South Africa are the World Test Champions. It matters for so many reasons, and right now it is a wildly emotional day at Lord's. Support the show with a Nerd Pledge at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/thefinalword⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ We

World Test Championship Final, Day 3: South Africa have looked the underdog throughout this WTC final, but halfway through the third day, that all changed. Even the torment that Starc and Hazlewood put them through with the bat was washed away, as Aiden Markram put together the innings of his life. But they're not done yet, and for South Africa, the last part of the climb has so far proved too hard. Can they finish the job on Day 4? Support the show with a Nerd Pledge

Then it was Lungi Ngidi's turn to exert an influence, in a match hurtling towards a conclusion but that could easily go either way.
