BBC Radio Five broadcast uninterrupted audio commentaries of the game. This is streamed on the internet. However, due to licensing problems, this is restricted only to the UK listeners.
If you are a listener outside the UK it is possible to listen to this service simply by browsing through a wikipedia:Proxy Server in the UK. There are quite a few public ones and they are easy to use.
In your browser (I use Mozilla Firefox) enter the settings in Tools->Options->Advanced->Network->Settings and enter the manual proxy configuration as shown in the figure.

Setting a proxy server for the browser.

Go to BBC five radio site http://www.bbc.co.uk./fivelive/sport/commentaries.shtml
Select Five Live Sports Extra on the left border. It will open a separate player page. I usually select 'Listen Live Windows Media' (High) choice. And it works!

Note: I don't know whether there is any legal issue in doing the above. Go figure it yourself, please.
