Stumbled on to T10 in Abu Dhabi.. watched it for about 10 mins and then gave up. Maybe that is what '10' stands for in that format.

I've heard it live on C4, but can't find confirmation

Saw that as I was clicking through on saturday. Also watched about 10 minutes before I moved on. Horrible format. 60 balls is a joke and the commentary was shocking.
Or not. cricket on, sound off. Good for Ch4 if they have the rights.

From the telegraph
Channel 4 is poised to be announced as the broadcaster of the England-India Test series on Monday, unless it is trumped by an 11th-hour bid, marking the return of Test cricket to free-to-air for the first time since the 2005 Ashes.

Whilst their numbers are increasing i don't think that the majority have access to Amazon Prime.
I certainly haven't and have no intention of subscribing.

it comes as part of your Amazon Prime subscription... unless they make it pay per view inside Prime.

Most people don't have an Smszon Prime membership.
I use Amazon but see absolutely no point in paying for Prime .

i think they are up 15 mill Amazon prime members now - believe that’s more than Sky Sports and BT Sports

But still not the majority of the population.

Its 15 million households (rather than people)... at an average of 2.4 per houshold that is about 36m people... just a shade under all people in the country..
More info here.. It is bigger than we may think. https://mobilemarketingmagazine.com/amazon-uk-user-base-prime-mintel
If you are buying every month, it does make sense to have a Prime.. gets ur goods faster. It has boomed during the pandemic

Your figures are a little out.
In any event why would I be buying through them every month?

You may be the last holdout for Bezos.. We seem to have something arriving every week.. Soon there will be nothing left to buy on Amazon. The only good thing i did was buy some Amazon shares
