Radio 5 Live continues to engage sports enthusiasts with its dynamic programming, including the celebrated cricket show Test Match Special. An episode titled “No Balls: Headingley, happiness on-field & a Hartley head injury,” released on August 9, 2025, has been particularly well-received. Lasting 25 minutes, this episode features hosts Alex and Crossy discussing the Northern Superchargers’ impressive winning start in The Hundred tournament.
Even independent of Radio 5 Live though, Test Match Special continues to be an important–even defining–part of the BBC’s sports broadcasting. The entire, long-form program is available online at BBC Test Match Special. This episode will hook you with its riveting storytelling. Even a little more than a year after its release, it’s revolutionary in showing how the book can provide new perspectives on the cricket news of the day.
