My question, if that Smith “nick” was out, how was the Labuschange “nick” yesterday not?

Well deserved guard of honour for Sophie Devine 👏

What a player and trail blazer for the women’s game. She will be missed not just by the White Ferns, but cricket overall

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

Absolutely sensational effort 🙌

King is going to be a thorn in the side of India and whomever Australia (likely) face in the final 👀

It’s always a pleasure to watch Harry Brook work 🤯🤩

#EngvNZ

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

Quite an important game today - very likely whomever wins will end top of the table, which might give an easier run to the finals with South Africa looking on great form of recent

Do have to love hosting a World Cup in monsoon season…

Four games have been rain affected so far, all in Colombo (and three no results)

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

The captain taking it home for her side in absolute style 🫡

Congrats to the Northern Superchargers for securing the 2025 @thehundred Women’s title 👏

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

The Oval ground staff putting everyone to shame with that speedy preparation of the pitch to get this @thehundred eliminator underway without losing any overs 👏

Questions why that wasn’t possible in the summer during the India v England Test match…

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

Really liking the cleaner, more traditional on screen graphics for @thehundred this year - much easier to read/follow

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

This delay in the Women’s #SAvENG third ODI is case in point why, even against spin, players should wear helmets.

[England Cricket @englandcricket]

Heart-breaking news. Rest in peace, Josh.

Our thoughts are with Josh's loved ones at this desperately sad time.

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

.@jimmy9 takes his 700th wicket, becoming only the third man to achieve such a feat in the history of the game 👏👏

#INDvENG

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

What is it about @englandcricket batting in India? All series it's been the same old story of not being able to get batters in whilst @BCCI can.

Same old story in Innings One for the visitors. Are they going to be able to defend this?

#INDvENG

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

The series may be wrapped up, but there is still one more Test in this enthralling competition between @BCCI and @englandcricket

What do you think the series score will be?

#INDvENG

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

Congratulations @BCCI for taking the series win, one game in hand. They have played incredibly well in the last two games to take the advantage @englandcricket had built to spin the game in their favour.

#INDvENG

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

Something that cannot be denied, @englandcricket are giving this everything. Win or loss, it’s been a fantastic effort to stop @BCCI catching the chase 👏

#INDvENG

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

Is the pitch varying this much, or do the @BCCI just have a better handle of utilising the spin on this cracking wicket? Is the inexperience of @englandcricket’s spin attack hurting them now?

Let us know your thoughts! 🗣️

#INDvENG

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

15 odd minutes before lunch and there is no denying is - the morning of day three has completely belonged to @BCCI

#INDvENG

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

After the first session yesterday, a score anywhere near 350 seemed highly unlikely. Now will be the time for @englandcricket to hold onto their advantage.

Can they get off to the flying start @BCCI did with some fast wickets?

#INDvENG

[RoundTheStumps @roundthestumps]

This is only the second time of the series @englandcricket have faced over 100 overs in an innings.

This innings 104.5 was two overs more than in the first Test when @OPope32 reached his 196 in the second innings.
