An epic final day brought fitting end to what has been a gruelling Test series between India and England. Mohammed Siraj left everything on the ground on the final day of the Oval Test match, handing India a comeback victory at the Oval. With the win in the final Test, India also levelled the 5-match series, 2-2, against the Ben Stokes side. In the latest episode of the Sledging Room Podcast, Kingshuk Kusari, Rishabh Beniwal and Alan John review the India vs England series. They go through the epic and the controversial moments occurred over the 40 days of play, and how it all culminated in the 40 minutes of sheer drama on Monday, August 4. The trio put in a lot of focus on Gautam Gambhir, who has been in the headlines through this series. The India head coach, already under pressure from series losses against New Zealand and Australia, might just have saved his neck owing to some sensational performances from the Indian cricketers. Produced by Garvit Srivastava Sound mixed by Rohan Bharti

The boys kick things off with a quick review of the Bulldogs alarmingly large win over GWS, then they tell us their top headlines from the last 24 hours - including a new type of bin in Victoria. Chief puts Ben Stokes and the England Cricket Team in his slaughterhouse, and Howie has organised the Friday Huddle Logies - dishing out awards for the best performances so far in season 2025. Damo was a good samaritan this week, but Chief witnessed the opposite end of the spectrum, then it's time for Chief's Food Quiz - which may just be the most competitive quiz we've ever had. Browny asks the boys about the merits of the Mercy Rule in kids' sport. The boys melt down over Browny's pronunciation of Lynyrd Skynyrd, before whipping through their Hot Tips to make your life better, before Hawthorn's Josh Weddle phones in to talk about his recovery from stress fractures. As we move into full footy mode, Collingwood's wooing of Jack Silvagni could mean there's no money left for some other Pies stars, the boys discuss which team misses out on the finals, we get an insight into what Chief was like as Hawthorn CEO, Howie's going Hindi, and Damo has caused a furore at both Channel 7 and Fox Footy. Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks joins the boys before tonight's big game, Browny has his Top 5 sporting fairytales, and Chief had an awkward encounter with a bloke he'd just potted on live TV. Triple M's Friday Huddle is Mark Howard, Jason Dunstall, Nathan Brown, and Damian BarrettSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alison Mitchell, Sunil Gupta and Jim Maxwell discuss whether India head coach Gautam Gambhir is feeling the pressure. It's after he was seen arguing with the Oval's head groundsman, Lee Fortis, ahead of the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Out of their last 10 matches ahead of the Oval test, India have lost six and won two. We also ask what long term impact Ben Stokes' shoulder injury may have on England after he was ruled out for six to seven weeks. We debate where Joe Root ranks among the greatest men's batters of all time after he moved up to second on the all-time list of Test run scorers. This week's guest, cricket writer and broadcaster, Jarrod Kimber, tells the show that Root's ability to get off strike when under pressure is his 'super skill' and the best in modern cricket. And we hear from former India women's captain Mithali Raj as we build up to this September's World Cup.Image: India Head Coach, Gautam Gambhir speaks to the team ahead of Day Two of the 4th Rothesay Test Match between England and India at Emirates Old Trafford on July 24, 2025 in Manchester, England.

There was a time when cricket neutrals couldn't help being intoxicated by Bazball. Here was a cricketing cult based on feeling good in order to "save" the Test format. What's not to like!? That feels a long time ago. After delivering the game a handshake based lesson in morality, England are arguably the chief villains of global cricket. Gideon Haigh joins us to explain how did we got here and what comes next. Featured: Gideon Haigh, cricket writer.Subscribe to the ABC Sport Newsletter

India scripted a great escape in the 4th Test match at Manchester. Ben Stokes's England were left frustrated by the grit of Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. Controversy struck on the final day of the Test match when Jadeja and Sundar refused to go off the field, despite the hassling of Ben Stokes and Co. England, led by Stokes, wanted the batters to call it curtains much before the scheduled closure of play after realising that they were not going to win the match. A massive wave of criticism followed Stokes and his team for unsportsmanlike conduct and trying to dictate the opposition's approach with the bat. Safe to say, the self-proclaimed custodians of the game failed morally as well. In the latest episode of the Sledging Room Podcast, Akshay Ramesh, Saurabh Kumar and Kingshuk Kusari discuss the draw in Manchester, which felt like a win. They also build up to the 5th and final Test match of the series, which might have major workload concerns for both teams. Produced by Garvit Srivastava Sound mixed by Rohan Bharti

English cricket captain Ben Stokes is being accused acting like a spoiled kid, as India managed to bat out a dramatic draw in the fourth test at Old Trafford, with Stokes unsuccessfully asking India to end things early. Sports reporter Jonty Dine spoke to Lisa Owen.

Ed and Corbin dive into the fiery fallout from the fourth Test in Manchester, where India snubbed Ben Stokes's offer to shake hands - choosing instead to chase runs with Washington Sundar closing in on a maiden ton. Whose side are we on? Is England turning into the villains of the game? And what does this all mean for the Ashes later this summer? 

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Jamie and Stu look back at the fourth Test between England and India, plus New Zealand's victory in the T20 Tri-Series final against South Africa. We also look ahead to the 5th Test in the UK and the Black Caps v Zimbabwe series. We start the show by talking about India's fantastic fightback on days 4 and 5 of the Test at Old Trafford, which saw the series remain at 2-1 with one match to play. There were hundreds for Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja, but also some controversy surrounding the conclusion of the day's play. Ben Stokes wasn't happy then, but he'd done plenty to earn his player of the match award, taking a 5-wicket bag and scoring 100 across the course of the Test. Joe Root was equally impressive, and Rishabh Pant's bravery stood out for the visitors. We round out the India v England conversation with a discussion about potential and probable changes the 5th and final Test. To finish the show, Stu chimes in to highlight the Black Caps' unbeaten run to some T20 silverware in Zimbabwe, which culminated in a dramatic final against South Africa. With 7 runs needed from 6 balls, Matt Henry stepped up and, with the help of two fantastic catches in the outfield, closed out the victory for New Zealand. In addition, we look ahead to the upcoming Test series against Zimbabwe. We'll be back in your feed next week to recap the England v India and NZ v Zimbabwe Tests.

Despite England's huge 311 run lead and two early Indian wickets, the India third wicket remained intact for the rest of the day as KL Rahul and Shubman Gill knuckled down to the job of drawing the game.

Jon Norman is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to look back at Day 4 of the fourth Test between England and India, with India closing on 174-2, but still trailing by 137 runs. They discuss Ben Stokes becoming the first England captain to score a century and take a five-wicket haul in the same Test Match, reflect on potentially match-saving half-centuries from both Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, and debate if England have enough in a bowling attack without Ben Stokes to force a victory in this game.

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.

An attritional 83 overs on the first day of the Old Trafford Test as India progress to 264-4 but Rishabh Pant suffers a bad injury to his foot on 37 and may play no further part in the match. Ben Stokes was again the go to bowler for England and having now bowled more overs (119) than in any other previous Test series, he has the same number of Test wickets (226) as both Freddie Flintoff and Steve Harmison. Simon Hughes and former India player Deep Dasgupta assess the day's play and the state of the bat-dominated balls in this series.

A test cricket captain is once again calling for the International Cricket Council to revisit the rules that penalise teams for slow over rates. England skipper Ben Stokes first raised the issue when his side and the Black Caps were both fined following the first test in Christchurch last year. After being docked World Test Championship points and fined 10 percent of their match fees for a slow over rate in their latest test against India, Stokes wants change. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

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 for longevity, 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? Is this now completely Ben Stokes' team? Has Brendon McCullum now taken a backseat? Throwing forward, the long-awaited return of Liam Dawson to the Test arena for Old Trafford. Who does India choose for the fourth Test, and why do they seem to lose when Jasprit Bumrah plays? India has won the days, but England has won the moments. Daniel Norcross joins Cameron Ponsonby.

We sat down to discuss England's win at Lord's.We discussed why Jadeja should have attacked more, why is this team so defensive?, what is the secret of Ben Stokes' energy? (No we didn't) but definitely marvelled at Archer's return and the dangers of Siraj being overbowled before looking ahead to the Manchester Test where we think Kuldeep is a must (heck, we thought he was a must in all tests).There is sadly no media review but an observation that the Indian fan and YT creators ended up defending this selection as the game went on.

Adam Peacock and Alyssa Healy join you to talk about just how good Test cricket is! We look at the historic Australian win in Jamaica - Starc and Boland couldn't miss, Cam Green had a solid series, and the race is on this spring to find Australia’s next opening batsman. We also dive into India vs England and a fiery third Test. Jofra Archer is back, the sledging between the two teams was wild, and Ben Stokes proved once again he’s a warrior. Did India miss Kohli? Was Shubman Gill rattled? We finish with Italy’s World Cup qualification and Heals shares her biggest blow-up.

Krieket: Die Engelse draaibouer Shoaib Bashir moes onttrek aan die oorblywende twee toetse teen Indië weens 'n gekraakte vinger. Die 21-jarige is beseer toe hy probeer het om die bal te vang van sy eie boulwerk op die derde dag van die derde toets op Lord's. Engeland het met 22 lopies gewen vir 'n voorsprong van 2-1. Bashir sal later die week 'n operasie ondergaan. Sy kaptein, Ben Stokes, sê dis baie teleurstellend vir die span en veral vir Bashir:

A truly melodramatic final day at Lord's featuring only 112 runs but six vital wickets to give England the narrowest of victories by 22 runs.

Simon Hughes and Simon Mann look back at a wonderful advert for Test cricket and the extraordinary defiance of the Indian lower order with the former Indian player Deep Dasgupta.

Defending a meagre 193 for victory, England's Durham pair Brydon Carse and Ben Stokes offer hope of a brilliant climax to an absorbing third Test with late wickets. India now require a further 135 runs to win, with serene opener KL Rahul looking secure and the mercurial Rishabh Pant due in next. It promises to be an exciting final day as the moribund pitch gradually deteriorates. Can Ben Stokes inspire England again on the sixth anniversary of his miraculous World Cup final performance at Lords in 2019? Simon Hughes and Simon Mann discuss an intriguing day and consider why England lost more batsmen bowled (12) than in any Test since the 1880s. India are marginal favourites to win on Betfair.

Ben Stokes is a big part of it. Jofra bowled his fastest spell on record, but for what reward? Ravindra Jadeja again contributes, before some finger-wagging and verbals between Zak Crawley and Jasprit Bumrah, with help from, well, the entire Indian team.

Led by the indefatigable Joe Root England ground out a solid base on the first day of the 3rd Test at Lord's. On a slow pitch England elected to bat first and only allowed India four wickets in the day for 251 runs. There is more hard work tomorrow once Root has got the one run to record his 37th Test hundred. But Simon Hughes and Simon Mann are concerned by an apparent muscle twinge suffered by his fifth wicket partner Ben Stokes. This podcast is supported by Betfair.
