Summary
Jonathan Agnew presents a look back at Day Three at the Oval, as Yashasvi Jaiswal’s century and the late wicket of Zak Crawley put India in a strong position to win the final Test.
Michael Vaughan, Sir Alastair Cook and Deep Dasgupta assess the state of the game, and we hear from Jaiswal, as well as England’s Josh Tongue.
There’s also a discussion on whether Harry Brook is a better option as stand-in captain than Ollie Pope.
And we’re joined by actress Nina Wadia and chef, restauranteur and campaigner Asma Khan, who share their love of cricket.
