Summary
Jonathan Agnew is alongside Alastair Cook, Michael Vaughan & former Sri Lanka allrounder Russel Arnold for reaction to the second day’s play at The Oval between England and Sri Lanka. They discuss the potential complacency from England which let Sri Lanka back into the contest, as well as England’s batting collapse and the questionable tactics in the field.
England bowler Ollie Stone says the side "took the aggressive option" on a day that could've look very different.
Kate Cross reacts to her career best figures as England beat Ireland in the first One Day International of the series in Stormont.
Plus, comedian & actor Miles Jupp speaks to Simon Mann about his podcast with Mark Wood, and how reflecting on his recent illness in his latest tour became cathartic when hearing from others who had experienced similar things.
