Deep gets Duckett, reverse-scooping to the keeper, then places his arm round his shoulder and has a word, before KL Rahul pulls Deep away from Duckett. Deep should be nowhere near Duckett after taking his wicket.

This is why five Test match series are unrivalled. Plots and duels and niggles develop. Proper good. #ENGvIND

And there it is. The most moving hundred celebration from English cricket's greatest batter and, probably, person #EngvInd

Violent, lawless, broken Britain? The facts tell a different story thetimes.com/comment/column…

.Mike atherton says his former county’s handling of the Liam Livingstone controversy risks normalising abuse of officials in the recreational game, of the sort that has blighted football ⬇️

Congratulations to Chris Woakes on a stellar international career From 2021, this is the most enjoyable interview I did as a writer. A long chat with Woakes about family, sledging, shyness and the the lengths he would go to to hone his game Cricbuzz cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/1…

I long for the days when the entertainment was winning, not just having a slog. Nonsense performance. #AUSvENG

Nailed it.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Root officially the greatest of all time with the Aussies not longer able to cling to their ‘never done it in Oz’ nonsense.

And that’s the Test and the series, the Ashes given up in five abject days of play. England out thought, out fought and out skilled by a significant margin. This tour could now get very ugly indeed and even more questions will be rightly asked of their preparation #Ashes2025

I wrote this for Cricbuzz during the last Ashes series in Oz and Paul Farbrace nailed the issues with England’s Test match batting at the time. This line-up has had a lot more success than that 2021/22 group but some things don’t change… #Ashes2025 cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/1…

Abject batting from Gus Atkinson: England's worst dismissal of the tour in a crowded field. Does he not remember how it felt to be ground down by Starc and Boland in the afternoon sun yesterday?

Jofra Archer bowling 150k+ late on day four, chasing balls all the way to the fence, having got through 25 often frustrating overs in the first innings. Lots of chatter about his effort/attitude, and it just feels very wide of the mark...

Brilliant detail in this piece by Vish, including that Stokes suggested a 12k run to the team during their Noosa break but had no takers. And the overriding theme is spot on. This Ashes failure demands change. espncricinfo.com/story/aus-vs-e…

Having witnessed two 5-0 defeats in Australia (ffs), I know how sweet it is to see a rare win. Hope all those travelling England supporters make the most of it. This was quite a day/night/next day in Melbourne in 2010 (horrendous sunglasses) #Ashes2025

Fair play for fronting up. Won’t have been an easy few days.
