The 2024 England Sri Lanka Daily, Lord's Day 2: Gus Atkinson's staggering Test summer continues, crushing a run-a-ball maiden ton to get on the Lord's boards for a third time. From there, once the hosts got the ball, Sri Lanka never looked like it and are a mile behind after two days. On the pod tonight, TMS stats wizard Andy Zaltzman returns, joining a very happy Cam Ponsonby (he played club cricket with Gus, don't you know).

It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, with Daniel Norcross joining Geoff Lemon, we start with a walk through the Indian hill town of Ooty, then end up deep in the origins of European fascism. Yes, it's all related to the cricket. Also, the German influence on Lord's in 1994, the worst ever hat-trick, and an ode to a love that never quite panned out.

Season 6, Ep 8: Hard to find a better conversationalist than England fast bowler Kate Cross. She's from Manchester way, blunt as you like, good turn of phrase and funny as hell. And she's learned a lot about elite sport, the bridge from amateur to professional, and the difficulty in holding it all together. And she's so chilled out that she kicked back with Geoff and Adam at the ground in Hove just a couple of hours before taking on against Australia. On today's episode we also cover Ireland's fast-forward debut at Lord's, the Australia v Australia warm-up at Southampton, Meg Lanning's record-breaking hundred, and the Ashes squads for both men's sides.

Season 6, Ep 7: The Edge is a new documentary about the urge to be the best in the world, and the human toll it can take to get there. Barney Douglas toured with the England team from their humiliation in the West Indies in 2009, through their gruelling years of training before winning in Australia in 2011, then their eventual collapse in Australia in 2013. He used his trove of archival footage along with new interviews to bring the story to life. Then he teamed up with Felix White, of the Tailenders cricket podcast and the Maccabees band, to write the score. Together they've produced a beautiful look at human strength and weakness through the lens of cricket, and they sat down to share that process with us.
