Summary
Jonathan Agnew is alongside Alastair Cook, Michael Vaughan and former Sri Lanka allrounder Russel Arnold for reaction as Sri Lanka bowl England out in 34 overs and begin their chase well in their quest to win the last test of this series. They discuss England’s attitude when batting in the second innings, Jamie Smith’s innings which stopped Sri Lanka from winning the game already, and what could have led to England’s below-par performance this test.
England Assistant Coach Paul Collingwood gives his reaction of the day’s play.
Plus, Moeen Ali speaks to Jonathan after he announced his retirement from international cricket.
