Playing at Lord’s is the ultimate dream for so many cricketers around the world. MCC’s Female Playing Members get a chance to do just that. Here’s a closer look at MCC Women’s Day.

The place where I did my very first cricket reporting, and did my first proper interview - with @David215Gower
Fenner's, one of English cricket's most historic venues - the nursery of Ranji and many others - is in crisis. The number of matches staged there is plummeting, costs for local sides to hire the venue have soared and the pitch has been attacked as unfit. https://t.co/jr0CdRV7Xi

Off to Lord’s for (probably) one more (potentially historic) session of the #WTC2O25Final. Don’t forget to listen on @bbctms but then maybe switch to @BBCRadio3 for ep 2 of Knowing the Score, featuring Victoria Pendleton and Paul Lewis. 🚴🎹

Here's a bit more about the shows I've done for @BBCRadio3 (in a bit of light moonlighting from @bbc5live). First show is today at 1pm!
I’ve made a series for @BBCRadio3 about the links between sporting and musical performance, with the help of incredible guests and the brilliant @CollersB. Ep 1 goes out tomorrow lunchtime and then on @BBCSounds. Hope you enjoy it, I’ve loved making it. 🎶🏏

General cricketing sadness…. #tailendersoftheworlduniteandtakeover
When winning the toss doesn't go to plan.. 😬 It was an action packed fixture on Saturday in the Middlesex County Cricket League! And one of Richmond's runs was a wide! #BBCCricket

The love we have for the sports we're lucky enough to bring to the @5liveSport listeners summed up by @iaincartergolf battling tears while reflecting tonight on Rory's Master's win. It's possible to be a brilliant, professional journalist and also hugely emotionally invested .
