Summary

Mark Chapman is joined by T20 World Cup winner Tymal Mills, former England spinner Phil Tufnell and Chief Cricket Reporter Stephan Shemilt to discuss the opening few days of the World Cup.

The big news today is that Pakistan will play India in the Group match on Sunday after Pakistan's government lifted their boycott with Bangladesh's blessing. Wisden editor Lawrence Booth joins the panel to talk about the internal politics of world cricket.

England are off to a winning start, just, so what did we learn about Harry Brook's captaincy?

And are the smaller nations catching the established powers in international cricket?

You can hear ball-by-ball commentary of every match of the T20 World Cup on BBC Sounds
