Summary

Jonathan Agnew presents reaction from Lord’s from where Jofra Archer returned to the Test side with a wicket in his first over and Joe Root breaks yet another record, becoming the highest ever non-wicketkeeping catch-taker in Test cricket.

Root gives his thoughts on where England are after day two at Lord’s. Jasprit Bumrah reflects on yet another five-wicket haul. Former England captains Sir Alastair Cook and Michael Vaughan, Ashes winning bowler Steven Finn, and commentator Prakash Wakankar analyse the day’s play. We also talk about everyone’s favourite topic - over rates.

Plus, Andrew Strauss returns to the TMS commentary box as Lord’s turns Red for Ruth.
