- TFW Daily - Tensions high after bitter end - England India 4th Test, Old Trafford aftermath
England India Daily, 4th Test, Old Trafford Day 6: The reactions to the final hour of play at Old Trafford have been plentiful and wild.

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, that much we know. Will Jasprit Bumrah and Mohamed Siraj both play? Adam Collins has Daniel Norcross for company.

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 Ben
Jones from Manchester.Support the show with a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalword

25 min - TFW Daily - Root sets course for Tendulkar – England India 4th Test, Old Trafford Day 3
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 Manchester.Support the show with a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalword

24 min - TFW Daily - Stokes the machine - England India, 4th Test, Old Trafford Day 2
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 having a say in the Test as he bravely came back out to bat in the morning session. Earlier, it was Ben Stokes (who else) for England. Daniel Norcross joins Ben Jones from Old Trafford to dissect where today leaves the series.

24 min - TFW Daily – Rishabh injury sours first day – England India 4th Test, Old Trafford, Day 1
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. Daniel Norcross and Ben Jones report from Manchester.

22 min - TFW Daily – Bumrah plays, Touchpaper lit – England India 4th Test, Old Trafford, Preview
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 five days. England picks Liam Dawson for the first time in a million years but otherwise confirms the same bowling lineup, so we get more Jofra v Jasprit. Adam Collins has Daniel Norcross joining from Manchester.

31 min - TFW Book Club - Brick by Brick, with Max Bonnell
Book Club 11: Max Bonnell - Brick by Brick: the Australian Cricketers in England 1964
The Ashes series of that summer gets a pretty bad rap. That’s understandable given one of the five Tests had a winner, and the Old Trafford batathon is an emblem of where 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 Labour government around the corner. Cricket was changing at a rapid pace too, even if it wasn’t immediately obvious. Max does a fine job threading these themes together and casting the cricket in a more flattering light, when Bob Simpson’s men went to England and got the job done.

It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, an ever-lively Daniel Norcross tells us all about a Surrey star scuppered by internal politics and an England stumper who kept on keeping on way into the night. Between times, Adam drops in to go back to a belter of a Test on Australia's marathon tour of 1964 before reflecting on when Virat Kohli was at the extraordinary peak of his IPL powers in 2016.
