Summary

Henry Moeran is joined by former England and Surrey batter Mark Ramprakash & the BBC’s Chief Cricket Reporter Stephan Shemilt for reaction to Day 1 of the third and final Test between England New Zealand.

We hear from fast bowler Matthew Potts, who took 3 wickets on his return to the side.

There’s discussion around England’s fast bowling unit, Ben Stokes’ long spell and their persistence with the short-ball tactic against the tail. They also look at Rachin Ravindra’s continued disappointment with the bat for New Zealand, Tim Southee’s remarkable six-hitting record and England Women’s one-off Test against South Africa.

Plus, there had to be some chat about Strictly Come Dancing, with a former winner on the pod.

Live text commentary of England’s Test series against New Zealand is available on the BBC Sport website & app.
