Summary

Jonathan Agnew is alongside Alastair Cook, Michael Vaughan, Vic Marks & former Sri Lanka allrounder Russel Arnold for reaction to day four at Old Trafford where Sri Lanka have a slender advantage. They discuss Jamie Smith becoming the youngest wicketkeeper to score a century for England, Angelo Mathews’ insubmissive innings for Sri Lanka, and the drops that dampened the day.
