Summary

Henry Moeran is joined by the former England spinner Phil Tufnell, Sussex head coach and former England assistant coach Paul Farbrace and three-time Ashes winner Steven Finn to discuss the meteoric rise of England's new star spinner Shoaib Bashir after he tore through the West Indies batting lineup to secure victory for England in the second Test at Trent Bridge on Sunday.

Captain Ben Stokes says Bashir's "shown the world what he can do" after becoming the youngest England bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a home Test aged just 20 years and 282 days old.

Somerset head coach Jason Kerr also joins the pod to talk about discovering Bashir playing for Berkshire against the Somerset second team and how he has the skills and temperament to make it to the very top.
