Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 2nd Test, Oval, Day 4: A day where New Zealand's much vaunted attack showed why they garner so much respect. Only Joe Root, again, was able to hold the tide at bay, assisted with some Bazballian flourishes from Harry Brook. All four results are still possible, but one seems more likely than the other.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Raj and Stu look ahead to the upcoming Test series between England and the visiting Black Caps.. We start the show by taking a wider view of where both squads are at leading into this encounter. For New Zealand, it feels like the start of a big year of Test cricket - one that could define how we look back at this current group of players. For England it's all about next steps as this squad tries to put the disappointment of The Ashes quickly in the rear-view mirror. As the conversation continues, we discuss key selection questions ahead of the first Test at Lord's, and the key takeaways from New Zealand's win over Ireland. Has Nathan Smith done enough to earn a spot in the XI? Will spin be enough of a factor to warrant Mitchell Santner and/or Shoaib Bashir in the lineups? How significant is Tom Blundell's recent run of good form? With a debut likely for Emilio Gay and Jacob Bethell set to be fit to play, it's also the bowling lineup that looms as the key question for England to resolve. Ben Stokes has shifted down the order - perhaps to open the bowling - and Ollie Robinson's return to Test cricket will be fascinating, particularly until Jofra Archer rejoins the squad. There's also talk of the pressure facing Brendon McCullum this home summer, and whether we can expect to see any changes to England's style of play. Binksy's excited about the Jacob Bethell, Joe Root, Harry Brook trio, Stu's got nagging doubts about the Black Caps' batting lineup and Raj is simply focusing on one ball at a time. We make predictions (kind of), ponder whether this will be Kane Williamson's final series and generally get enthused about what we hope will be three exciting Tests with plenty of talking points.

India won an incredible match in Mumbai by 7 runs to knock England out of the T20 World Cup and set up a date with New Zealand in the final on Sunday. Jacob Bethell scored a brilliant hundred, but England narrowly failed in what would have been a record run chase. We hear from England captain Harry Brook, coach Brendon McCullum, India captain Suryakumar Yadav and player of the match Sanju Samson Plus, there's analysis from Henry Moeran, former England bowler Steven Finn and former IPL player Abhishek Jhunjhunwala. And with the Women's T20 World Cup now fewer than 100 days away we hear from England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt.
Daniel Norcross is alongside 2017 World Cup winner Alex Hartley and Aatif Nawaz for reaction to England's thrilling victory over New Zealand in Colombo. Hear from player of the match Will Jacks, Rehan Ahmed, Harry Brook and Mitch Santner.
A brilliant runchase spearheaded by Will Jacks and supercharged by Rehan Ahmed pulled off an unlikely victory for England over New Zealand in Colombo. It gives England an impressive unbeaten record in the Super Eights and pits them as semi finalists against either India or West Indies. Simon Hughes and Simon Mann assess how England pulled off such an impressive victory on a tricky pitch and despite another failure for the opening pair of Jos Buttler and Phil Salt. The ingenuity of Harry Brook, the power of South Africa and India's huge threat are also discussed plus the sound of the New Zealand national anthem played at the wrong speed.

In this episode of The Cricket Podcast, we dive into the high-stakes drama of the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8s, where the semi-final picture is finally becoming clear. England have become the first team to officially qualify for the knockouts, completing a remarkable turnaround after a shaky start to the tournament. We break down Harry Brook's sensational match-winning century against Pakistan that punched their ticket to the semi-finals. With their place secured, we ask: is this the most balanced England T20 side we've seen in years? Meanwhile, India have kept their World Cup dreams alive with a dominant 72-run victory over Zimbabwe in Chennai. After a bruising loss to South Africa, the Men in Blue found their spark through an Abhishek Sharma masterclass and a clinical bowling performance. We look ahead to Sunday's "virtual quarter-final" at Eden Gardens, where India must defeat the West Indies to join the Proteas in the last four. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Someone is listening to the Top Order Podcast. Binksy has been calling for more opportunity for Harry Brook - he was elevated to number three in this Super 8 clash against Pakistan and delivered a fine century as England chased down 164. It wasn't without a few nervous moments as late wickets triggered a little bit of a wobble. There are a few nitpicks and work-ons for England going forward, but Baldy and Binksy were impressed with the tactical changes and adjustments that England are making on the fly with their bowling in this tournament. If their batters can do the same the sky is the limit for England. For Pakistan they have it all to do - their encounter with Sri Lanka is a must win and they rely on New Zealand losing tonight against Sri Lanka and/or against England to end Super 8 play to have a chance of progressing. What will they need to change? Again it's the strike rate conversation with Babar Azam coming under the microscope as he walks the fine line between holding the innings together and pushing the strike rate forward. Tonight's clash between New Zealand and Sri Lanka will be a battle of two different batting groups. NZ's batters were great in the group stage while the SL batters are now under pressure. Can SL bounce back against a New Zealand attack that could be back at full strength? Will we see Ish Sodhi feature? NZ have plenty of spin options at the disposal. For SL - they need a rollicking good start against the likes of Henry and Ferguson to get them on the front foot in the power play.

In this episode of The Cricket Podcast we break down the massive T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 upsets that have blown Group 1 wide open. First, we analyse how South Africa ended India's 12-match winning streak in a dominant 76-run victory in Ahmedabad. Was it David Miller's explosive 63 or a rare failure from the Indian top order? We dive deep into the India vs South Africa highlights to see if the Proteas have finally found the formula to win big ICC trophies. Next, we ask the burning question: Are England back? After a clinical 51-run win over Sri Lanka in Pallekele, Harry Brook's side looks like a serious contender again. We review Will Jacks' game-changing bowling performance and discuss whether England's aggressive style will hold up against Pakistan's spinners in the next round. Plus, we cover the fallout of the Pakistan vs New Zealand rain-out and what the current T20 World Cup points table means for semi-final qualification scenarios. Can India recover their Net Run Rate, or is a shock exit on the cards? Want to create live streams like this?

As we reach the Super Eights stage of the Men's T20 World Cup we look at England's chances of lifting the trophy following an unconvincing group stage.Simon Mann is joined by former England bowler Steven Finn, BBL winner Michael Carberry and IPL player Abhishek Jhunjhunwala plus we hear from England captain Harry Brook and vice-captain Jacob Bethell.We also assess the chances of the other sides left in the tournament and ask if the current T20 World Cup format works.

England lost by 30 runs to West Indies in Mumbai in their second match of the ICC T20 World Cup. Henry Moeran is joined by Steven Finn and Prakash Wakankar at the Wankhede stadium plus we hear from England's Jacob Bethell, player of the match Sherfane Rutherford and captains Harry Brook and Shai Hope.

Wisden editor Lawrence Booth joins the panel to talk about the internal politics of world cricket. England are off to a winning start, just, so what did we learn about Harry Brook's captaincy? And are the smaller nations catching the established powers in international cricket?You can hear ball-by-ball commentary of every match of the T20 World Cup on BBC Sounds
Henry Moeran is with Steven Finn and Prakash Wakankar in Mumbai. Sam Curran joins the podcast to explain how he held his nerve at the end, plus we hear from player of the match Will Jacks and the two captains Harry Brook and Rohit Paudel. And we reflect on the exciting start to the tournament with associate nations like USA, Scotland & the Netherlands also coming close to shock victories.
In this episode of The Cricket Podcast, we dive headfirst into the pure, unadulterated chaos of the opening six matches of the 2026 T20 World Cup. It has been a weekend of "Associate Uprising" and major-nation meltdowns, headlined by England narrowly avoiding one of the greatest humiliations in sporting history. We break down the "World Cup DRAMA" at the Wankhede, where Harry Brook and the "bleached boy wonder" Jacob Bethell (55) dragged England from the depths of 57-3 against Nepal. Despite a late surge from Lokesh Bam (39* off 15), Sam Curran held his nerve in a final-over masterclass to secure a 4-run win. Is this "cling-on" energy sustainable, or are England already cooked? The episode also covers: India vs USA: Suryakumar Yadav (84*) rescues the defending champions from a 46/4 collapse to see off a spirited American side by 29 runs. Pakistan's Great Escape: Faheem Ashraf goes "bonkers" in the 19th over to deny the Netherlands a historic opening-day upset in Colombo. West Indies Power: Shimron Hetmyer's blitz and a Romario Shepherd hat-trick—part of a stunning five-wicket haul—blow away Scotland. New Zealand Clinical: Tim Seifert (65) and Glenn Phillips overcome the "Group of Death" landmines to chase down 182 against Afghanistan. We ask the big questions: Why are the big teams struggling to put away the smaller nations? Is the Nepal crowd the best thing to happen to cricket? And who is the early favorite for the Super 8s?

England can finally toast a series victory this winter with a barnstorming batting performance in the final ODI in Sri Lanka. On the back of a 20th ODI century by Joe Root and a stylish 67 from Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook assaulted the wilting Sri Lankan attack as only he can with a quite remarkable 136 not out off 66 balls with nine sixes. It was a reminder of his exceptional talent which mostly went missing in the Ashes. It sets England up well for the T20 World Cup to follow, although, as Simon Hughes and Simon Mann discuss, the bowling is a worry. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

But in a modern, high-performance environment, is that culture quietly doing more damage than good?On this episode of The KimAppa Show, Jarrod Kimber and Robin Uthappa unpack whether alcohol-centric team cultures can become toxic — blurring professionalism, affecting preparation, and potentially stunting player development. They explore where the line lies between camaraderie and complacency, and why elite sport increasingly demands sharper off-field standards.The discussion also touches on the recently reported incident involving Harry Brook at a bar, including the presence of a bouncer, and how moments like these quickly become lightning rods for wider debates about accountability, scrutiny, and the pressures faced by young stars in the public eye.Rather than judging individuals, Jarrod and Robin zoom out to examine what these flashpoints reveal about leadership, expectations, and whether English cricket's long-romanticized “boys' club” culture still fits the demands of the modern game.-You can buy my new book 'The Art of Batting' here:India: https://amzn.in/d/8nt6RU1UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1399416545-To support the podcast please go to our Patreon page. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=32090121.

England is in serious trouble on Day 3 of the 2025 Ashes second Test in Brisbane, and the feeling of a looming "disaster" is real. Australia's lower order, led by Mitchell Starc, piled on the runs to build a massive first-innings lead, capitalising on a sloppy English fielding display (five dropped catches on day two alone!). In their second innings, England's openers started brightly but lost Ben Duckett before the close of play. Join Jack, Max, and Ross as they dissect all the action from a frustrating day for Ben Stokes' side at The Gabba. The lads cover the dropped catches, Australia's commanding position, Harry Brook's dismissal, and the immense challenge England faces on day four to save the Test match. Can Bazball dig them out of this hole, or is the series heading to 2-0.
