Jake, Nick and Will are back to reflect on a chastening defeat for England against New Zealand following a chaotic fortnight for English cricket.
We discuss whether England had any chance to perform at their best following the Ben Stokes scandal, given the numerous changes to the side and the introduction of three debutants.
The guys break down exactly what happened with Stokes behind the scenes and whether his relationship with Brendon McCullum can be fixed now that his return to the side is confirmed.
Elsewhere, we get an update from Sonia Twigg on the Women's T20 World Cup and field all your questions as usual too!
