Summary
Jonathan Agnew is alongside Alastair Cook, Michael Vaughan & former Sri Lanka allrounder Russel Arnold for reaction to the first day's play of the final test at The Oval. They discuss Pope's innings, as well as Sri Lanka's performance with the ball and Ben Duckett falling short of a century.
Duckett speaks to Henry Moeran, saying that the reason he fell short of a century was also the reason he also scored as many runs as he did.
Plus, Team GB Paralympic swimmers Eliza & Scarlett Humphrey speak to Jonathan from the Paralympic Village in Paris.
