Does anyone know what the the tour dates are for West Indies v England ODI'S/Twenty20 games this winter?.
I've got my sights set on a trip to Barbados for a bit of winter sunshine and Cricket and wouldn't mind trying to get ahead of the curve when it comes to flights and accommodation

Not confirmed yet, but it'll presumably slot in between the World Cup (finishing somewhere in November) and Christmas. Early December would be a decent shout, but probably best to wait and see.

Poised nicely down in Tauranga, a rearguard of 138 from Blundell got NZ out of a hole and within 19 runs of first-innings parity. Tricky couple of hours now for England under the lights.

Nice to see the Yorkshire players coming good for England again. Harry Brooks and Joe Root setting the standard once again

Riveting stuff down in Middle Earth right now: an old-school England collapse tonight has left us midway between losing our first ever Test after enforcing the follow-on, or pulling off a record follow-on chase. 150 more needed with five wickets standing, Root and Stokes on the job.

Recorded the afternoon session and got up to watch this morning. Obviously gutting to fall at the final hurdle, follow-on or not (though probably karmically deserved after we got away with a blatant LBW at the same point at Headingley 2019), but it will go down as one of the all-time great Tests. Incredible stuff.
