Summary
Jonathan Agnew is alongside Alastair Cook, Michael Vaughan & former Sri Lanka allrounder Russel Arnold on the Lord's outfield for reaction to England beating Sri Lanka on day four and sealing the series victory with a test to play.
Player of the match Gus Atkinson tells Jonathan that it was "incredibly special" to get his first century at Lord's whilst also starring with the ball and taking 5 wickets in Sri Lanka's second innings. Captain Ollie Pope looks back on his recent form with the bat saying "it hasn't worked" for him, but looks to lead from the front as captain going forward. Plus, Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya De Silva rues choosing to bowl when his side won the toss on day one.
The MCC respond to criticism that ticket prices at Lord's were too high with Senior Head of Club Services Viv Brown & Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Katie Maier speaking to Jonathan.
Plus, listen back to the lighter moments from inside the TMS commentary box during the test at Lord's.
