In this episode of the show, Binksy and Stu look back at an epic encounter at Lord's, which saw England go 2-1 up against India. We start the show by talking about the quality of the match and the emotions of a gripping 4th innings, in which Ravindra Jadeja almost played hero with the tail but ultimately saw the legend of Ben Stokes grow even further. The conversation then bounces around from India's missed opportunities to the quality of batting on display from KL Rahul and Joe Root, the return of Jofra Archer and the ongoing discussion around slow over rates and the Dukes cricket ball. To round out the show, we look ahead to the selection questions facing both sides for the 4th Test. Will Jasprit Bumrah play? Should India make more changes? A bump in the road for Shoaib Bashir and whether England will rotate their bowling attack in what shapes to be another fascinating encounter.

STORY OF AMERICA - Experienced seaman Samuel Champlain joined the crew aboard the ‘Saint-Julien’ on his first Trans-Atlantic crossing, while in his early thirties. This journey lasted two years and gave Champlain the opportunity to learn about Spanish holdings from the Caribbean to Mexico City. Along the way, he took detailed notes, wrote an illustrated report on what he learned on this trip, and gave this secret account—entitled ‘Narrative of a Voyage to the West Indies and Mexico 1599 to 1601’—to his King, Henry the fourth, who rewarded Champlain with an annual pension. In 1603, King Henry IV wanted the French to begin settling in the New World in hopes that wealth could be brought back to France. So he sent an expedition to locate a place on the American continent to establish a colony and fur trade settlement. Although he held no official title at the time, Samuel de Champlain would be among the men who would take part in this great venture.

In this episode of the show, the entire Top Order Podcast team gather to discuss the recent Test matches between India and England, and the West Indies and Australia — one which saw a complete reversal of the previous encounter and another that was déjà vu all over again. We start at Edgbaston, where a Shubman Gill masterclass and bags of wickets from Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj inspired India to a comprehensive 336-run victory over England. We talk about India's selection, Gill's brilliance, how India's seamers stepped up without Jasprit Bumrah, Jamie Smith's star continuing to rise, what went wrong for England and whether either side needs to make changes for the third Test at Lord's. In the second half of the show, we move to Grenada where Australia retained the Frank Worrell Trophy with a Test win in very familiar fashion to the first match of the series. Australia's top order largely struggled, the middle-order dug them out of a hole, the West Indies threatened at times but ultimately the world-class Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, Lyon quartet (backed up by Beau Webster) took the 20 wickets the Aussies needed to secure a comfortable victory in the end. In addition to all of that, we discuss a step forward from Cam Green and potential changes for the final Test. We'll be back in your feed next week to recap the third Tests between India v England and Australia v West Indies, plus anything else that grabs our attention.

Adam Peacock joins you, Brad Haddin & Alyssa Healy to review two tense Test match finishes between Australia and the West Indies, and India and England.

Browny steps into the Host's Chair in Howie's absence, and Isaac Smith is our special guest co-host. Browny thinks Isaac is responsible for our good ratings, and the boys talk about their top headlines from the last 24 hours. Chief puts Joey Montagna and Browny in his Slaughterhouse, and the boys review day 1 of the 2nd Test between Australia and the West Indies. North Melbourne celebrated 100 years last night, and Browny's son may be taking after his old man a little too much. The boys have some Hot Tips to make your life better, then Browny's Top 5 is the best quotes from Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis. Isaac reveals Jack Gunston's build up to kicking 7 goals against North last week, Browny's Health Hotline touches on pre-packaged meals, and Chief puts the boys through a spelling bee. As we go full footy mode, the boys ask if the Western Bulldogs are actually in contention to win the flag, and it's Damo vs Kane Cornes again in Media Wars. Collingwood defender Billy Frampton calls in ahead of tonight's game against Carlton, there's a big investigation into where the footage of Chua falling off his chair has gone, and Damo whips around the league with some last minute Round 17 news.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We want you to tell us who can get stuffed, the Eagles are debuting a player with the best name in footy, and we have an enormous Idiot File full of Billy's biggest cockups of 2025 so far. Aaron Finch phones in to chat about the 2nd Test between Australia and the West Indies, and Billy sends us to a holiday with a joke about an Irish Flower Shop.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Award-winning actor Fiona Shaw has starred in Killing Eve, Bad Sisters, Fleabag, True Detective: Night Country, Echo Valley and even as Aunt Petunia in Harry Potter, among many other things. She's won and been nominated for several Laurence Olivier awards for her work on stage and she's even directed opera. Now starring in a new film adaptation of Deborah Levy's novel, Hot Milk, Fiona plays Rose, who goes to Almería, Spain with her daughter, Sofia, played by the brilliant Emma Mackey, to try to find a cure for Rose's mysterious paralysis at an experimental clinic. Fiona joins Nuala McGovern live in the studio to discuss it.The Scottish Parliament is looking for opinions on a proposed bill which would change the laws on prostitution in the country. It targets those who buy sexual services by creating a new criminal offence of paying for a sexual act. If passed, it would criminalise those buying sex, while decriminalising those selling it. The woman behind the bill, MSP Ash Regan, speaks to Woman's Hour about why she wants the change, and responds to criticisms that it could make sex work less safe. Today government ministers have launched a review of UK parental leave and pay to reset the system and speaking yesterday the Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said people were scared of having children because of the high costs and she wanted “more young people to have children, if they so choose”. But getting to become a parent can sometimes require ongoing fertility treatment meaning time away from work. And Fertility Matters at Work are calling for those undergoing this support to have the legal right to take time off for their appointments. They've published a report on it and the author Becky Kearns joins Nuala. She's the co-founder and CEO of Fertility Matters at Work. A new production of Eugene O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten, starring Ruth Wilson, is on at the Almeida theatre in London. Nuala is joined by multi award-winning director Rebecca Frecknall to discuss the central character Josie, and why the father-daughter relationship at the heart of the play spoke to her. Women's cricket in England has been through trials and tribulations recently. The team lost 16-0 to Australia in the Women's Ashes at the start of this year, and were knocked out of the T20 World Cup at the end of last year. But in June, after the appointment of a new coach and captain, had a clean sweep in their T20 series against the West Indies. Now they're facing India in a series of T20 matches, and suffered a defeat in their first match. Player, commentator and podcast host Melissa Story shares her thoughts on the team's performance, as well as what's happening in women's cricket on a local level. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Emma Pearce
Season 18, Episode 20: It's the first ever Final Word from Grenada, as Geoff and Bharat kick back on the deck looking over St Georges. It's a fine view for a long conversation. Some dark stories swirl over the current West Indies team, as the administrators pretend it's not happening. Steve Smith is back, Sunil Gavaskar gets stroppy, there's change at Cricket Ireland, Zimbabwe are back in the Test arena, Smriti Mandhana joins a rare club, and Pakistan will play India at the Women's World Cup.
