Summary
Jonathan Agnew is alongside Alastair Cook, Michael Vaughan, and former Sri Lanka allrounder Russel Arnold for reaction to England's loss to a determined Sri Lanka. They discuss the takeaways England will have from this summer as a whole, as well as where this leaves Sri Lanka ahead of a test series against New Zealand.
England's stand-in captain, Ollie Pope, believes England were "outplayed for a day and a session" as Sri Lanka win a test in England for the first time in 10 years. Player of the series Joe Root says England "aren't always going to get it right all of the time" and Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya De Silva looks back on a "very special" win in England.
Plus, hear the lighter moments from the TMS commentary box from across this summer.
