Women's T20 World Cup, Day 5 - England/South Africa: It was tougher than it looked. Chasing anything over a run-a-ball in this comp will be, and that's what South Africa set England at Sharjah. In the power play it looked like loads, but then the hyphenated pair sorted it out to give Heather Knight's side a second win. Cam Ponsonby is with Daniel Norcross for us every day of the tournament in the UAE - enjoy their nightly wrap.

It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, we start by looking back at how Bangladesh went from destruction to a seat at cricket's top table. From there, the stories of two Queenslanders - a Slasher and a leggie. We finish with some cryptic fun that takes us back to Jamaica in 1995 where the Waughs were never better.Your Nerd Pledge numbers this week:4.47 – Calum Evans15.00 – Alex Newcombe4.64 – Keelan O’Reilly2.31 – Adam SofferGo Ambassador cruising with Goochy, Aggers, Blowers and Alex Tudor from December 12-19!

Season 17, Episode 1: Is Hampshire but the first domino to fall? Now sold to the conglomerate that owns the Delhi Capitals in the IPL, county cricket could be set to change in ways that would've been barely believable a decade ago. It's the start of a very busy agenda that takes us around the World Test Championship, to domestic competitions near and far, and casts forward to the Women's T20 World Cup starting later in the week. For this, Adam Collins has ESPNcricinfo's Matt Roller for company in the first ep of a new season.

The 2024 England Australia Daily, 5th ODI, Bristol: We got there. Five matches, five results. This one could have fallen either way, with both teams walking the tightrope of imminent rain. It was another contest that went wildly one way or another. Sometimes bowlers looked unplayable, other times they looked unusable. But a flurry of boundaries decided it before a flurry of sleet. That's our final word for the English season: next up, Season 17.Support the show with a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalwordCheck out Westfield London and Stratford City.Download the app: westfield.com/united-kingdom/appGeoff's wardrobe by Seadragon Studio: seadragonstudio.comGet all our links, including tickets to live shows: LINKTREE.com/thefinalwordFind previous episodes at finalwordcricket.comTitle track by Urthboy Learn more about your ad choices.
