Before this BBC podcast kicks off, I'd like to tell you about some others you might enjoy.

My name's Will Wilkin and I Commission Music Podcast for the BBC.

It's a really cool job, but every day we get to tell the incredible stories behind songs,

moments and movements, stories of struggle and success, rises and falls, the funny, the ridiculous.

And the BBC's position, at the heart of British music

means we can tell those stories like no one else.

We were, are and always will be right there at the centre of the narrative.

So whether you want an insightful take on music right now

or a nostalgic deep dive into some of the most famous and infamous moments in music,

check out the music podcasts on BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, music, radio podcasts. The TMS podcast with Mark Chapman.

Hello, welcome to the TMS pod as we look ahead to England's five-match test series against

India. It starts on Friday and

headingly with us for this one. Michael Vaughan, Phil Tuffnell and former India Keeper Deep

Das Gupta. Michael with the ashes on the horizon as well, it's a big few months.

I don't think it's like D-Day 4, Rob Key, Basmicol and Ben Stokes with the test team because

you know there's anhes series in 2027.

But we generally judge, I guess, management groups over the course of an Ashes at Home and an Ashes away.

And obviously India at Home and Away is also a pivotal part of your development as a team.

It's kind of a barometer of where you've got to.

So over the course of the next few weeks against India,

that'll be a great test in English conditions.
