Day 3 #jamiesmith hitting a ton and a gorgeous (if rather windy) day Lancashire Cricket 🎨🏏🌞 England Cricket vs Sri Lanka Cricket 🇱🇰 daniel norcross Test Match Special

🚨 Review! 1st Test, Day 3🚨 We might be talking about this day for years to come. Jamie Smith is the real deal. Henry Moeran joins daniel norcross Listen🎧linktr.ee/thefinalword Watch 📺youtu.be/RnnnpwD-ZHU

🗣️ "Why did he do that!" - daniel norcross 🗣️ "If you're shit at batting, don't bat shitly!" - Andy Zaltzman Prabath Jayasuriya threw his wicket away as Sri Lanka crumbled. #ENGvSL 🏏 | Westfield London 🛍️

A treat having @zaltzcricket hosting, arguing persuasively with daniel norcross that Gus Atkinson’s arse isn’t as big as Ken Higgs’ despite their similiar statistical achievement after eight inns. “Proper fast bowlers’ arse, which I don’t think the world appreciates these days"

Brilliant hundred from Atkinson, and great stuff from Potts. Didn’t play an aggressive shot this morning until Gus got there (and promptly gets out).

To reference an apocryphal quote ‘when Alexander The Great was 28 he wept salt tears because there were no worlds left to conquer. Gus Atkinson is just 26’.

Atkinson has bowled in 9 test match innings and taken at least two wickets in every one.

Another day of Root breaking records. How has Root evolved? It's daniel norcross with Adam Collins for that. Our Lord's Daily is live: 📹 youtu.be/LwaVDUnLOq0 🎧 linktr.ee/thefinalword

Running out of words to describe this man 🔥 🗣️ "He seems to be getting better as he gets older. He's completely in control of his game." - daniel norcross 🗣️ "He can go to Australia with a lot riding on it for his legacy." - Adam Collins #FinalWord 🏏 | Westfield London 🛍️

It’s been bugging me who Matthew Potts reminds me of and I think I’ve cracked it; Henry V.

Meanwhile, Nahid Rana, after the shock of scoring his first run in two years is back on track with a two ball duck against Pakistan. The world is healing.

Farhan Ahmed, aged 16y 192d has taken ten wickets on his county championship debut. Can’t be many younger men to have taken 10fer in first class cricket.

Ten consecutive innings that Atkinson has taken at least two wickets, now.

The fabulous Roberta Moretti Avery has listened to the latest episode "Tip and No Run" Even by our standards, its even more of a shambles than usual and I think she sums up all of our 7 listeners as they listened to this.

“There’s a Monty Python sketch called The 100 Metres for people with no sense of direction.” “That was like watching Sri Lanka run between the wickets today.” daniel norcross #EngVSL | Westfield London

Gus Atkinson takes 5 to finish off Sri Lanka and light up a dismal Lord's crowd on Day 4. Cameron Ponsonby joins daniel norcross on The Final Word Daily. #ENGvSL | Westfield London 🎧linktr.ee/thefinalword 📺 youtu.be/bWPc6LV_7Ww

Nahid Rana is tearing it up with the ball against Pakistan right now but he also has a higher test batting average than first-class, alongside Don Bradman Wally Hammond Marcus Trescothick David Gower Albeit that he averages 1.

Wow. That is a terrific series victory for Bangladesh. And to recover from 26/6 in the first innings to win so emphatically is extraordinary.
