Welcome back to the Sunday Service with Church and Vickers - we hope you’ve all had a peaceful cricketing week.

This week, Mark and Hector are joined by someone who can tell you everything you need to know about the game.

Having begun her career in the civil service, straight out of university, she ended up making a career switch to sports journalism after becoming a third voice with the BBC.

Now a cricket reporter at the Times and Sunday Times, she is one of the most trusted voices in the game.

Elizabeth Ammon joined us earlier in the week to discuss her fascinating career, the changing world of journalism, the England Men’s Test side, and - of course - the imminent Women’s T20 World Cup.

Also on the episode, Church and Vickers continue their hard-hitting, segment; "What cricket sound is this?" - and Church delivers a sermon with a full report from the Parish’s bank holiday game against “The Cheating Vicars”.

A huge thank you to Elizabeth Ammon for coming on this week's show and taking us through the world of cricket. We look forward to catching up and reading her works as the summer progresses.

Another big thank you goes to our friends at Newbery Cricket, who are offering up their award-winning SPS bat for this month's competition giveaway. You can read all about it via the following link: https://www.wisden.com/cricket-features/the-bat-test-2026
