TFW Daily - One night of chaos - West Indies Aus, 3rd Test, Kingston Day 1
West Indies Australia Daily, 3rd Test, Kingston Day 1: Chaos, not from ball one, but certainly from session three. We thought the day-night match might be full of action, but even then, this was a lot. West Indies produced some moments of brilliance in the field and with the ball, but the Australian plan might yet work out.

TFW Daily - Scores are level - England India, 3rd Test, Lord’s Day 3
England India Daily, 3rd Test, Lord’s Day 3: A day when honours were literally even after the conclusion of India’s innings. How did two India batters get out for KL Rahul’s century? 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.

TFW Daily - Bumrah v Archer - England India, 3rd Test, Lord’s Day 2
England India Daily, 3rd Test, Lord’s Day 2: The fast bowling head to head. How we've waited to see this. After a quiet first day, Jasprit Bumrah started his second day at Lord's with an almighty bang, once again showing what he can do. Then it was Jofra Archer's turn, after a thousand and more days out of Test cricket. What a ride.

TFW Daily - Joe Root vs the ladybirds - England India, 3rd Test, Lord’s Day 1
England India Daily, 3rd Test, Lord’s Day 1: Finally, a day for the purists, with Bazball nowhere to be seen after England chose to bat. Stokes hobbled, Pope grafted, Bumrah threatened, Reddy delivered, and ladybirds invaded, while Joe Root inched closer and closer to a milestone. As in the classics, an absorbing day. Ben Jones joins Daniel Norcross.
