1. Bit of news - after 38 years at the BBC, the last 23 as golf correspondent, I’m stepping down from my staff role at the end of next month. But I’m delighted that I’ll be continuing to lead 5Live’s golf commentary. I’ve had a BBC career of which I could never have dreamed.

So, I had a seizure whilst on air in Mexico not long after arriving at the World Cup. I stuck it out, inspired by my sister who never let her epilepsy stop her. It’s been tough BUT I’ve been surrounded by amazing @5liveSport friends. (Yes this is another sponsorship plea 😂 ⬇️)
…You’ll have to get used to these posts! We lost my amazing sister Jill to her epilepsy and I’m running the 2027 London Marathon for @epilepsysociety. I’m a sufferer myself of this dreadful disease, if you can spare a couple of quid it’d mean the world 💜 2027tcslondonmarathon.enthus…

Another good man leaves the BBC. Joe is one of those correspondents who understands the craft of a TV news report - a neglected art form - & is a master of his trade. A sporting wordsmith whose leaving deprives BBC News of wit, verve & humanity, all of which are at a premium.
‘Even the best things come to an end’ Thank you for watching, for listening and for caring.

…a broadcaster of rare versatility, wit & skill, @JoeWilsonwords has covered so many sports for BBC, but for many, it’s his poetic cricket reports that set him apart, & if anyone can find the words to capture such a finale to such a Test series, it’s him (even on his final day)

I think “Settling the Score” is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard on the radio, the most perfect blend of sport, music and words. Charles Dance’ voice is perfect and of course the TMS commentary of 2005, CMJ et al. It’s beautiful
Play Soul Limbo 🎶 Take it away, @BBCPhilharmonic. 👌 We'll be playing 'Settling the Score' on @5livesport at 20:00 - with a live page also on @BBCSport.

This series was, for me, the peak of sport. Has been a privilege working with the sensational @TimPeachBBC and @BBCPhilharmonic in writing the script for this, delivered magisterially by Charles Dance.
🗣 “Trent Bridge was alive – England revved up for the 4th Test…” Relive the 2005 Ashes with TMS and the @BBCPhilharmonic's Settling The Score. Listen at 20:00 on @5livesport, with a follow-along also on @BBCSport. .

Hats off to @bbctms 
One of the best pieces of audio I’ve ever heard – epic Ashes 2005 commentary, stunning BBC Philharmonic music and powerful narration by Charles Dance.
 A brilliant way to mark 20 years. Get on it and enjoy. 🏏

On this day in 2006, England kicked off their World Cup campaign against Paraguay. And in the BBC’s build-up to the match, Ray Stubbs managed to get a few words with Freddie Flintoff and Steve Harmison…

Special moment in the Test Match Special commentary box as @nassercricket & @henryolonga meet for the first time since the 2003 World Cup. England’s decision not to travel to Zimbabwe ultimately allowed Olonga to escape. #bbccricket

Rob Key says he "hasn't really spoken" to Ben Stokes about a white-ball captaincy job. Key messaged Stokes after he told the media on Thursday the Test captain is under consideration. Stokes responded with a thumbs up emoji.
