India v England UK TV coverage?

Dose anyone know who has the UK broadcast rights for India v England?

I completed a search online and there are media reports that Disney have the rights and it will be on Disney+ in the UK. I checked the Sky Sports website and it appears Sky Sports do not have the rights as its not listed within their on sky listings.

Apparently Talksport have the radio commentary rights. Which is a bummer as it is much harder to chase-play Talksport 2 than it is TMS using BBC Sounds after waking up at a reasonable hour. 😞

But the thinking is that Disney+ will cut a deal with Sky or BT or whoever to the TV rights in the UK but expect it to be a last minute brinkmanship deal.

Disney are launching Star on Disney+ and on a few of the articles I've just read, it looks like it could be getting broadcast through Star but Amazon were also mentioned as a possibility. But Disney+ has 70+ million subscribers worldwide with 4 million in the UK..
