35 min - TFW Daily - The Kid debuts! Sooryavanshi time - England India 2nd T20
England v India, 2nd T20, Old Trafford: The day has finally come! Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made his full international debut for India, becoming their youngest player to do so. And what did he do? Walked out and started hitting sixes. Naturally. England's own young gun Jacob Bethell had his say in the chase, but that's not the story.

32 min - Story Time 276 – Who is Piccolo Jim, and why will his centenary be 2029?
It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, there will be plenty of centenaries and sesquicentenaries coming up over the next few years, but we have found a rather more niche one than the first Test or Bodyline or Bradman's debut. Find out about a bloke called Piccolo Jim. Also this week, the drag-flickers who swapped sports, and a lovely left-armer. Adam and Geoff are back together.

1 hr 1 min - TFW Daily - England are Australia's challenger - Women's T20 World Cup, semi-final 2
Women's T20 World Cup 2026, 2nd Semi-Final: England v South Africa: Another huge crowd, with 21,000 in at The Oval leaning strongly towards the home team, and South Africa gave them plenty to worry about. A rollicking Powerplay with the ball, Marizanne Kapp and Shabnim Ismail with duelling death stares, from where it took all the experience of Heather Knight and the returning Nat Sciver-Brunt to bring things back the other way. A big night out in South London, and the two hottest streaks of the tournament will meet in the final. Firdose Moonda joins Geoff.

22 min - Hubris and the fall: the sad, mad end of Ben Stokes, Test cricketer
Season 20, Episode 19: It's been a mad old week in cricket. We took a beat to consider the weekend exit of Ben Stokes from international cricket, at least for now, but the time that has passed hasn't made it make any more sense. The England men's team right now is a mess of self-justification and self-interest, and who knows where it will land. All we know is that the current direction cannot be maintained. Also this week, Kemar Roach reaches legend status with his 300th Test wicket, and Ireland's men and women have the weekend of their lives.

1 hr 17 min - TFW Daily - Perry's final fitness scare - Women's T20 World Cup, semi-final 1
Women's T20 World Cup 2026, 1st Semi-Final: Australia v West Indies: A start like no other, where West Indies batter Deandra Dottin appeared to faint during the national anthems, seemed to galvanise superstar Hayley Matthews. Spin put the brakes on for the Aussies before their batters put on a show. But this will be the third showpiece with an injured Ellyse Perry. Will she battle through like 2013 or be ruled out as in 2020? Adam Collins and Geoff Lemon are on duty.

1 hr 26 min - TFW Daily - Ben Stokes chaos ends in superb Kiwi win - England NZ, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge Day 5
Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge Day 5: There was a collective weariness at Trent Bridge on Day 5 from all apart from the impressive New Zealand team. A sparse, quiet crowd saw the Kiwis' depleted attack take out the Test and series, and they look good value to get some big results out of the next 12 months. The 160-run win was inspired by their Day 1 run-fest and a bloody-minded 2nd innings century from a battered and bruised Daryl Mitchell. England’s efforts today will further bring into question how they approached yesterday evening, and furthermore, the futures of McCullum and Key. Ben Jones and Daniel Norcross.

37 min - TFW Daily - Stokes retires, England go bizarre - England NZ, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge Day 4
Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge Day 4: News of Ben Stokes’ retirement at the end of this Test was released in the middle of an over just prior to the tea break. In an amazing, Stokesian piece of theatre, the next ball was a wicket… to Ben Stokes. The Test turned truly bizarre, with the skipper's wild innings as an opener and a shuffled batting order that mimicked his approach, raising serious questions about the tactics, and Stokes’ post-match comments about not enjoying playing for England. New Zealand, to their immense credit, remembered there was a Test and series to be won and kept their heads screwed on amongst the chaos, with Daryl Mitchell grinding out a superb century before their high-quality bowlers ripped out England’s top order. Ben Jones joins Daniel Norcross.
