TFW Daily - Steve Smith almost gets century 37 - West Indies Aus, 2nd Test, Grenada Day 3
West Indies Australia Daily, 2nd Test, Grenada Day 3: A rare day in this series that felt like normal Test cricket, with a bit of rain slowing down proceedings, and Steve Smith looking at least half a million bucks until it ended. West Indies have remembered how to hold a slips catch, and are almost in this game, but their grip on this match must be close to slipping too.

TFW Daily - An insane amount of runs - England India, 2nd Test, Edgbaston Day 4
England India Daily, 2nd Test, Edgbaston, Day 4: The days keep passing and the runs keep coming. This time it was India again, as Shubman Gill takes himself into elite territory with three tons in four innings. Rishabh smacked them and lost his bat, the score piled up, and Zak Crawley continued being Zak Crawley.

TFW Daily - Is it a crisis yet? - West Indies Aus, 2nd Test, Grenada Day 2
West Indies Australia Daily, 2nd Test, Grenada Day 2: We seem to spend every day talking about Khawaja and Konstas, and here we go again. A half hour of Australian batting at the end of the day was enough to start the conversation again, after a West Indies innings of equal parts dash, determination, and daftness.

TFW Daily - The weirdest scorecard - England India, 2nd Test, Edbgaston Day 3
England India Daily, 2nd Test, Edgbaston, Day 3: Six ducks, two doubles? Just about. It seemed we would get there during the monster partnership between Jamie Smith and Harry Brook, but nobody else could figure out how to score, while without Bumrah, the next-best rank tried their hardest in the form of Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep. The scores are high, but there are many reasons why this match is interestingly set up.

TFW Daily - Aussie top order fails again - West Indies Aus, 2nd Test, Grenada Day 1
West Indies Australia Daily, 2nd Test, Grenada Day 1: It just ain't happening for Messrs Khawaja, Konstas, and Green, with another chance going begging for all three. Once again it was down to the usual firewalls to get them out of real trouble, after another group fast bowling performance from an even bigger West Indies cartel. If the home team can figure out how to bat, they're right in this...
