You always hope players do well. Cummins cites Nic Maddinson as having “shown good form” but not a huge body of work behind a player whose last FC game was March 2025 due to having chemo. A story of recovery & resilience, and now a first Test for him since 2016. #SAvAus

Just a reflection on the end of the Northants game yesterday…. Pink ball.

Would put an end to all issues of bad light stopping play. Would players not all eventually adapt?

Quite the trio - Brendan McCullum, Kevin Pietersen, Stephen Fleming on the outfield at Old Trafford ahead of England’s T20i this afternoon. @bbctms on air 1415 for commentary #EngvSL

First time I’ve covered a cricket match whilst wearing a life vest -

I went to the Bramble Bank cricket match for @BBCRadio4 Open Country, just before the tide rolled back in! 🎧

My dad’s beloved Gray Nicholls Quad Scoop - or what remains of it! As per the chat on @bbctms What should we do with it?!

Lords pitch day 4. Doesn’t look like it’s been playing! Overheads clear right now but expecting cloud to build up @bbctms #EngvPak

Absorbing View from the Boundary with Jon Sopel chatting to Aggers @bbctms

Raining at Lord’s, but the outfield still not as wet as what I encountered at Bramble Bank when the tide receded! Airing on @BBCRadio4 on Thursday: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00… @bbctms

Note we’re available via YouTube if you’re outside the UK 👇🏼

Teased by news of an 11.30am toss and midday start… bit of middle again just now but still hopeful here in the @bbctms box. #EngvPak

The greatest moment in Bangladesh cricket history. Against a full strength Australia side. Some players go whole careers without a Test win or even a century on Australian soil. Highly impressive and will resonate massively and deliriously through Bangladesh.

Thoroughly enjoyed this chat with Smriti Mandhana - on both India’s (and her’s) success and shortcomings, on the extent of her reach as a sportsperson, and on leadership roles. Thoughtful, considered, and humble #Mandhana
