@bbctms.xmirror.botTMS PODCAST: 2026 - A Tumultuous Summer.
The TMS team discuss some of the key themes of a sometimes chaotic season.
From the dramatic demise of Bazball to the rise of the T20 side.
From a home Women’s World Cup to the revamped Hundred.
@bbctms.xmirror.botThe cricket summer may be over.
But not long to wait for our next @englandcricket coverage!
We’ll have commentary on England’s ODI tri-series in Pakistan also involving Sri Lanka starting 18th October.
@bbctms.xmirror.botMcCullum’s plan to add extra warm-up games comes after criticism about a lack of preparation matches during his time as Test coach.

@saxylizbeth.bsky.socialIf you haven’t fed back to the BBC how much you’ve appreciated the work of #bbccricket in county cricket this season - get on it!
@kevinhowells.bsky.social and the team do a fantastic job and we want to make sure they get the opportunity to do so again next season 🏏🏏🏏
@saxylizbeth.bsky.socialAnother season as a county cricket fan done ❤️🏏❤️
Supporting domestic cricket rather than one county suits me - listening to matches with favourite players or grounds. Or grounds with cats.
Favourite comms team definitely plays a part too, and #bbccricket have been splendid once again.
@martycricket.bsky.socialWinter well everybody.
We're done and dusted at OT and that's a wrap for the 2026 County Championship.
#BBCcricket
@martycricket.bsky.socialI think we may have seen our final ball of the season.
It's gloomy in Manchester and rain is due here in the next half hour or so.
#BBCcricket
@martycricket.bsky.socialThey have gone off for bad light at OT so the umpires have decided to call tea.
Lancashire are 397-6 v Durham. It's their highest total of the season.
Bohannon has 190 from 384 balls. Balderson is on 29.
#BBCCricket
@martycricket.bsky.socialWe have a wicket. Walkden looked to pull the ball through the leg side and edged Parkinson to Carse at backward point on 36.
He added 82 with Bohannon, who has 158.
Lancashire are 331-6 and trail Durham by 162.
#BBCCricket
@martycricket.bsky.socialRight, it's sunny now at OT so play is about to resume after the early lunch, with another five overs lost to bad light and rain.
Lancashire resume their first innings on 295-5 v Durham.

@nickwebb2017.bsky.social🏏Cricket Latest❗️
