Ed and Charlie run through the Men's Hundred Auction action, featuring interviews with Welsh Fire Captain Phil Salt, London Spirit HC Andy Flower, Birmingham Phoenix HC Shane Bond, Southern Brave coaches Hemang Badani and Ian Bell and MI London's Alec Stewart.

The 2024 Men's Hundred has been a seamer's paradise so far - but why?

We've seen Birmingham Phoenix skittled by Mohammad Amir and Saqib Mahmood - but then the Phoenix's Sean Abbott rattled through London Spirit, who were themselves victims of Southern Brave's new ball attack. You see where we're going with this? No team has been safe so far.

Ed and Charlie try to work out what on earth is going on in this bitesize episode.

The Hundred 2024 kicks off today - and we're bringing you our Women's Tournament Preview right on time!

Featuring Ones To Watch, Best Batting Line Ups, Best Bowling Line Ups, Most Integral Players and our predictions for who's going to take home the trophy this year.

We also bring you the news that shouldn't be news - the Northern Superchargers Men may have actually got 11 players for their first game on Friday at last!

Ed and Charlie were delighted to sit down for a chat with Birmingham Phoenix and Leicestershire batter Rishi Patel.

Rishi talks all about his epic 41-ball ton v Northants that saw the Foxes tie, his mental clarity in white ball cricket, emulating James Vince and Sam Hain, as well as giving us the insider's view on that legendary Louis Kimber double century v Sussex.

Rishi is undoubtedly a real talent and he's certainly one to watch this Hundred - so if you want to find out more about him, you're in the right place.
