But the blackout is likely to end when the new TV deals begin in 2029

Great to hear Stephen Fleming say that England should pay more attention to the World Test Championship.
England's disregard for the WTC has long been an example of the worst of English exceptionalism in cricket

Emilio Gay fought admirably in his first summer in Test cricket, in brutal conditions.
But Jordan Cox's emergence, and the return of Jacob Bethell, means that Gay could be squeezed out.
He will rue his two ducks, but falling 3 times from 50-60 even more

Incredible ball-striking from Razaullah.
He's very raw but Pakistan have found a mighty exciting cricketer: 90mph slingers combined with very dangerous clean hitting

Harry Brook has made real steps forward this summer, adding more method to go with his brilliant madness.
But he's now gone 13 months and 11 Tests without making a century, a curious position for the world's no 1 Test batsman

'I will never forget this summer.'
Seven years after retiring from international cricket because of anxiety, Sarah Taylor is the first woman to work as a coach with a men’s Test side. And she has helped transform Jamie Smith's keeping standing up.
