Announcing McCullum's sacking during play of the first ever women's Test at Lord's is an interesting choice.

India set England a huge target 👀

Kranti and Sayali starting off well 👏👏👏

Centuries by Indians: Post CWC 2017 to Dec 2023 9 from four players - S Mandhana (4), H Kaur (3), P Raut (1), M Raj (1) 2024 - present 21 from seven players - S Mandhana (11), J Rodrigues (3), H Kaur (2), P Rawal (2), Shafali Verma (1), H Deol (1), Y Bhatia (1)

ITS OVERRRR! AND The god/saviour complex won't be missed, but stupidity maybe from time to time!

Fastest recorded Test hundred by an Indian woman: BF 113 Shafali Verma v SA at Chennai, 2024 122 Smriti Mandhana v SA at Chennai, 2024 145 Yastika Bhatia v ENG at Lord's, 2026 170 Smriti Mandhana v AUS at Carrara, 2021 #ENGvIND ecb.co.uk/matches/1125...

Yastika Bhatia becomes the first woman to score a Test century at Lord's (145 balls faced, 12x4). #ENGvIND ecb.co.uk/matches/1125...

A historic hundred from Yastika Bhatia! The first woman to put her name on the Test batting honours board at Lord’s ✨

YASTIKA TON 👏👏👏 #ENGvIND 🏏

Ona Batlle, "Arsenal have you got any more crest?...Where?" 😂

This week’s Arsenal Women Newsletter looks at the signing of Georgia Stanway. A very ‘Renee’ player and the business of reducing dependence on some of the players in the spine of the team 👇🏻🔴⚪️ awnewsletter.arseblog.com/georgia-on-m...

The women's T20 World Cup will grow to 16 by the 2030 edition. Chatted to the ICC's Will Glenwright on the significant growth of women's cricket in new markets, including China and Rwanda. A future World Cup is hoped to be held in an Associate nation www.cricketfj.com/p/with-a-16-...

Huh? Odd. Forest get a good coach but still could have just built on Palace instead.

Welcome to Arsenal 🔴⚪

He cares too much about Arsenal, He sent both Gabi's on holidays. He would want Saka and Rice to have some rest as well. Ødegaard, my captain.

Jordan Henderson with 0 minutes played one yellow card and a broken arm might be the single greatest statline in WC history

Here's today's blog which has football stuff, and yet more FIFA/Infantino corruption stuff. Have a read. 👇

FIFA making the rules up as they go along. Whatever you think of the red card Balogun got, FIFA has upheld the red card but instead of a mandatory one match ban, he gets a probationary period. Following rule changes that allowed Ronaldo to swerve ban at the start of the tournament. Ridiculous.

Leandro Trossard has scored 36 goals and has 31 assists in 174 appearances for Arsenal. Only Bukayo Saka (89) has more goal involvements for Arsenal since the Belgian joined the club.

CAKE UPDATE live from the Lord’s Media Centre:

Putting the Galarza flop together with the save on Mbappé's nutmeg shot is funny

Things I did not know: that the Cabo Verde football team would take me on one of the greatest sporting journeys of my life

Thank you, Cape Verde! 👏

I would never get this notion. If it did make a contact, which the tech confirms, it's a clear decision. As far as agreeing on decisions is concerned, don't think people were all jolly and agreeing on everything before tech came in either.

What an extraordinary game. Cabo Verde were incredible.

Trabzonspor bought this guy for 10m in June and probably REALLY happy with that fee right now

🫡🧤

Arsenal confirm appointment of new Academy Director

🎙️PODCAST! I'm joined by Art de Roche to chat about Declan Rice, Arsenal at the World Cup, the price of midfielders these days, making a statement signing this summer to help us retain the title, back-up keepers, Santi Cazorla on his retirement, and LOADS more p1r.es/arsecast882

This is hilarious! I don't think Southwest Airlines social media team thought-through their so-called funny post. Also interesting: all this banter used to happen on Twitter, but Southwest stopped posting on Twitter in January 2024, and the action has moved to Threads!

🤣

Did a double take on the ET headline and then realized what they had done with 'loop(ed)' vs. 'loupe(d)'. A bit 'trying too hard' type 😏

Stutter run ups should've been banned 10 years ago!

Didn’t realize.

stood for nothing. meant nothing. a sales gimmick wrapped in the clothes of revolution, a shrine to self-interest, disruption for disruption's sake. on the end of the stokes/mccullum era. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

What a performance, against an admittedly moderate Austria Spain finally looking like breaking this "curse" of the 2006, 2010, 2014 winners and not winning a knock-out game since winning it. A little-known stat that seemed to go under the radar yesterday.

Two best sides of the tournament, in the finals ! Aus have to be favs, but Eng on their day would be able to do something special and hold on to their record in Eng hosted tournaments.

Rice seems Fully cooked 😭

"At last, in the semi-final, the test came: pressure doesn’t come much higher than finding yourselves 23 for three, with a home final at Lord’s on the line." Me for @theguardian.com:

Arsenal are open to offers for Christian Norgaard but value the midfielder at a higher price than the £116m Manchester City will pay for Elliot Anderson.
